STORMY SESSION
 IN RUSSIAN LIMA

St. Petersburg, May 15.-The douma had stormy session today and the lie was passed between the leaders of the minority and the majority. Vladimir Purishkevich, monarchist member from Bessarabia, broke into the discussion and enlivened it with several epithets not found in polite vocabularies. At one time he was on the point of forcl- bly attacking Prof. Milyukoff, leader or the constitutional democrats, and was restrained only by two of his asso- ciates holding him.
 Alex J. Guchkoff, the octoberist lead CT. was explaining his reasons for re- fusing to permit the speakers Of the opposition to reply to the speech de- livered by the assistant minister of the interior. Makaroff, in defense of the re- +ention of the several governors gem eral and the continuance of martial laws. He made tue charge that part CT the douma had no desire to work, but only wanted to obstruct. This pre- cipitated violent disorder. After quiet had been restored M. Milyukon replied to M Guchkoff, declaring there was no truth in his statement and for this ne was rebuked by the president or the house. The majority finally agreed 10 by allowing six opposition sneakers to reply to M. Makaroff.

Both Senate and House Bills Must Now to Back Into
 Conference
MANY CHANGES MADE
 IN SENATE MEASURE
All Democratic Members of the Senate Committee Voted for the AIdrich Bill In Preference to the
 Vreeland Measure.

Washington. May 15.-The Aldrich cur rency bill was substituted for the vree- land bill in the Senate today. The effect is to throw both the Senate and House bills into conference. The managers on the part of the Senate who were imme- diately appointed, are Messrs. Aldrich. AL lison Hale, Daniel and Teller. meet ing of the Senate committee on finance was held in the forenoon and a decision to amend the House bill by substituting the measure passed by the Senate several weeks ago was reached Chairman AId- rich was authorized to make the report, which he did as soon as the bill passed by the House on yesterday had been ''messaged over.'
 There were some changes made in the Senate bill by the committee, however. These amendments were confined to the elimination of matter incorporated in the original Aldrich bill after 1t was reported from the committee. The provisions taken out were as follows:
 The use of bonds of the insular gov ernment of Porto Rico; bonds of the government of the Philippine islands and bonds of the city of Manila, as securities for the issuance of emergency circula- tion.
 The requirement. that national banking associations located outside of central re- serve cities shall hold in their own vaults four-fifths of the reserves required bg law, either in lawful money or securities named in the bill. but that two-thirds of the amount shall be in cash
 The prob Ntion against a national bank loaning money to, or investing in, the stock of a corporation, the officers or directors of which are officers or direc- tors of the bank making the loan or in- vestment.
 The committee also added sections pro- vidng for a commission of nine Senators and nine members of the House to be ap- pointed by the presiding officers, to be called the national monetary commission, whose duty it shall be to inquire into and report to Congress what changes are necessary or desirable in the monetary system of the United States or in the laws relating to banking.
 All of the democratic members Of the committee voted to support the Aldricn bill in preference to the Vreeand meas- Gs four members of the minority voted against the passage of the bill as amended. The democrats who voted Tor the bill were Messrs. Daniel, Johnston. owen and Teller. An equal number or republicans voted against the passage, be-. ing Messrs Borah, Bourne, Brown ana Heyburn. The final vote was F yeas and 20 nays
 Mr. Aldrich called up the House'Pill for passage at 2:40 D. m., and offere9 the amendments agreed upon in the c6tR- mttee They were adopted without deat bate or division, after which the bill was put on it's passage.
 When the bill goes to conference the House members undoubtedly will contend strongly for the provision of the Vree- land measure creating clearing house districts and through them issuing na- tional bank notes on guaranteed commer- cial paper.

HOUSE PROPOSES
 TO OVERRIDE VETO

Washington, May 15.-(Special.)- )-With- out a dissenting vote the House commit tee on interstate and foreign commerce this morning declined to follow the Pres ident's veto in a bill which passed the Senate and House two weeks ago. The members state tonight that they will again bring the bill before the House and ask that it be passed over the Presi- dents veto. Two-thirds is necessary and this the advocates of the measure say they have. The bill Is one granting an extension to the Rainey River Improve ment company to complete a dam it is building across the Rainey river in Min- nesota.
 The company is said to have spent about $1,00O, 600 on the property and owing to the recent financial stringency was unable to get money to complete in the time au- thorized by Congress-. The original bill was signed by the President and the House members claim that was his for veto instead of announcing new policy relative to the granting of water rights, whether a two-thirds vote can be obtained in the Senate is more doubtful than in the House. but the measure advocaters say they are going to try it.

PUBLIC BUILDING
 BILL IS PASSED

Washington, May 1a-Under suspen- sion of the rules the House today passed the public building bill carrying an ap- propriation of $23100,OO0. MT. Bartholdt of Missouri briefly explained it's pro- visions which he said would result in giving work to many now unemployed
 In opposng the bill MT. Fitzgerald of New York, of the committee on appro- priatlons, protested against the lack of opportunity afforded to consider it in de- tail. He charged that the spells had been evenly distributed so as to forestall the veto with which he said President Roosevelt was credited with threatening Congress. "The bill," he said, will go through by the cohesive power of public plunder." tts
 Mr. Jenkins of Wisconsin vigorously resented the statement of MT. Fitzgerald. The effect of his language, Mir. Jenkins charged was that the members of the House had been purchased. He wanted to sknow how many democratic Indians the republicans got yesterday on the cur rency bill through the fact that in the matter of public buildings they were sharing equally as we'll as the repub- licans.
 With corresponding vigor MT. Fitzger- aid disclaimed making any such sugges- ton.

NO RELIEF FOR MRS. LEE.
Bad Precedent Would Be Established
 In Pensions.

Washington, May 15.-An earnest, but intellectual, appeal was made in the House today by Messrs. Richardson or Alabama and Jones of Virginia Tor pension of $50 a month to Ellen Der uard Lee, widow of Gen. Fitzhugh Lee. Both described Mrs Lees present financial condition and briefly recount ed the services which her husbandsfad rendered the government, not only as consul general to Cuba, but as an off cer of the army. MT. Richardson told the House that Mrs. Lees sole support was out of the pay of her son, Capt Fitzhugh Lee, of the army.
 MT. Loudenslager of New Jersey was loath to object to the proposition, but he said there were thousands of other widows of soldiers having the same claim on the government, who had no one to appeal for them. He was not opposed, he said, to granting an annu- ity to Mrs. Lee, but he did object to its being given in the way of pen sion and establishing precedent, which he calculated would involve an expenditure of s200,O0O,O00 year.

FEWER BISHOPS
 TO BE SELECTED

Baltimore, May 15.-There are indica- tions today that the general conference of the Methodist Episcopal church, now in session, will not elect as many new bishops as had been expected. It had been thought that the number elected would be eight, but 1t now seems cer- tain that the committee having the mat ter in charge will recommend that the total number of bishops be made less than it has been hitherto, but that there be no reduction in the foreign field This does not mean that there will be no bishops elected for service in the United States, but simply that the number elect ed will not be as great as had been an ticipated Economy is said to be the actuating idea.
 The report of the committee on revision against the proposed change of the title of the 'presiding elder" to that of dis trict superintendent" caused the liveliest debate that has yet taken place thus far at the general conference of the Methodist Episcopal church. The com mittee's report was rejected by a large majority, leaving the question in su|n shane that 1t may come up again at any time

PATCHWORK BILL WORSE
 THAN ORIGINAL ARTICLE

Washington, May 15.-The Vreeland cur- rency bill as amended by the Senate went to the House at 5:10 o'clock and im- mediately was called up by MT. Burton of Ohio, who moved to suspend the rules, disagree to the amendments and ask a conference.
 In the opinion of MT. Williams, the mi- nority leader, the bill as amended by the Senate was infinitely worse than the Vreeland bill. He urged his colleagues to vote against the motion to disagree to the Senate amendment, saying that if the motion were lost, the bill would have to go to the banking committee.
 The democrats applauded MT. Fowler of New Jersey when he read letter contradicting a statement by MT. Vree- land yesterday that the First National bank of Atlanta, a bank with $ 100000 capital, supported the Vreeland bill. The letter was from MT. McCord of Atlanta,

 ''The year has set new standard in the boards receipts The financial condition, while not the first consid- eration, is yet at once basis and in- Gex for all that can be done through this denominational agency. The year has been year of great business, also of great outlany for the denomination, The receipts show a gain over last year of s17,5s2.30. Eight years ago, when the convention met in Hot Springs, the an- nue receipts were but little over $700OO This year they reach the noble aggregate of $179,020. 37. The business not only pro- vides for the heavy expenditure neces- sary to it's own successful operation, but is also a missionary power, and has be- come an active center in the denomina- tion's life
 "The first aim of the boards busi- ness management Is to mak it self sustaining and to provide for it's constant enlargement. The board has done three things:
 T. It has been self-sustaining. making ample provision for the increasing de- mands of growing business.
 ''2 It has set aside at Nashville as necessary to the safety and efficiency of it's business, about s200,0OO on tangible assets.
 ''3. It has made gifts to the denomna- tion aggregating about s2750O0, choosing for this outlay such channels and agencies as the Baptists of the south have themselves selected and are foster ing.

 MT. Burton grilled the democrats for their action yesterday 'in side-stepping' a vote on the Williams bill.
 By their filibustering tatics, MT. Burton said. the democrats had lost the gift which otherwise would belong to them to construct something They know how to oppose, but they don't know how to create"
 A sharp colloquy occurred between MT. Burton and MT. Fowler, in which the latter characterized as false a statement that he had opposed his own bill.
 The vote on MT Burtons motion re- suited, ayes 15O, noes 103 "present" 6, and the bill was sent to conference. The Speaker announced the names of Messrs. Vreeland of New York, Burton of Ohio.

cratic candidate 166 ral votes to start with. Only 7s mos 1tes are neces- sary. Bryan's strength IS candidate lies in the fact that he can poll more votes than any other democrat in certain battle ground states. He has already shown this in other campaigns. In Ohio he boiled more votes than any other dem ocrat before or since,. He did this against Mckinley, Ohio's favorite son. He will carry Ohio with her g votes this year. He boiled more votes in Indiana than any other democratic candidate for president.
 "Other states that Bryan car carry are Illinois and Wisconsin, and I regard even New York and New Jersey as possible, while West Virginia Is possibly demo- cratic Nebraska will go for Bryan. He carried 1t in 1896, and can do so again. The same is true of Colorado, Montana, Idaho and Nevada" w. 5.
