pany was party to this contract. as
it had been party to the old contract.
Before the dissolution of the company
the price was $1.90 per 100 pounds. All
the mills manufacturing news print

company were parties to the new con-
tract.

IN APPROPRIATION BILL
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON. May 22.-Practically
hope of a ship subsidy was abandoned
today when the house, by vote OF
AS to 156, rejected the conference re-
port on the postoffice appropriation
bill containing a provision therefor,
and on which the principal fight was
made, The bill was sent back to con-
ference and there now is little prospect
that the house conferees will yield TO
the senate.
By strict party vote Of 100 to 10 a
campaign contribution publicity Dill
with an amendment providing Tor
reduction of representation in the
house from the southern states was
passed. The Democrats voted against
the bill because of the amendment.
BY way of further cleaning up pend
ing business, the omnibus bill report
was received; the conference report ON
the District of Columbia appropriation
bill was agreed to, and the senate
amendments to the general deficiency
and military appropriation and omni-
bus Indian land bills were all dis
agreed to, and the bills sent to confer
ence.
The Democrats exercised their con-
stiutional prerogative and in all cases
forced roll calls in the disposition OF
business in hand.
At $40 D. m. a recess until III O'CLOCK
tomorrow was taken.

Are Prevented by Con-
servatives

BY Associated Press
MANILA, May 22.-The statutory
time for the adjournment of the Phil
ippine assembly having arrived, with
the work of that body incomplete,
Governor General Smith has called a
months extra session.

ate independence, but were headed off
by the Conservatives under the lead
ership of President Osmena.

sembly bill providing for the teaching
of the various Filipino dialects in the
public schools. and has substituted a
bill creating an institute for the study
of these dialects.

assembly, has been appointed delegate
to the navigation congress to be held
at ST. Petersburg. He will sail tomor-
row, accompanied by his secretary,

APPROPRIATION TAKEN
AS FRIENDLY EVIDENCE
BY Associated Press.

~ Assoclated Fress-
TOXIC, May 22.-The appropriation
made by the American congress to
provide for the representation of the
United States at the Toxic interna-
tional exposition and the signing of the
trademark convention between the two
countries have created a favorable i'm
preston in Japan.
The newspaper editorials say that the
straightforward, friendly course of
American diplomacy has succeeded in
dispelling any feeling OF distrust that
may have been entertained by Japan.
These evidences of mutual considera-
ton are taken here to contradict all
irresponsible expressions of unfriendli-
ness between the two countries. which.
it Is believed here, have emanated
from persons interested in maintaining
strained relations.
