Washington, June 1.-The battle to

today under the leadership OF Senator
Brown Of Nebraska. Going over to that
portion of the chamber in which SEND

their seats, the NebraSkan stood in
the middle of the opposing forces. and
with good nature banded tlrusts which
came to him from all quarters as he de-

Showing Familiarity with all available
information on the WOd pulp and paper
schedule, Mr.. Brown frequently quoted
authorities to sustain his contention
that wood pulp and print paper are
both produced in the United States
with cheaper labor and cheaper mate
rails; resulting in a cheaper product,

of Canada. Citing rates Of wages in

south wind which assumed the pro-

At Fort Fairfield Junction. two
dwellings and three potato storehouSes
were consumed while nine sets of farm
buildings were burned near Echo Lake,

were destroyed.
The loss at Fort Fairfield Junction

There was large attendance of
Democrats, which for the most part
remained silent throughout the debate.
senator Tillman was an exception.
With characteristic briskness he
asked how it was that newspapers ad-
vocating a protective tariff desired free
trade in the materials they use. Then
looking over the Senate with frown,
and stamping his foot upon the silken
carpet. the South Carolnian declared:
"They are hnmbugs.''
Senator Bailey was also heard brief

that an amendment should be drawn
giving the benefit of free paper to free
trade papers and levying a duty on

Mr.. Brown still held the floor when
the Senate adjourned earlier than usu-

will resume consideration of his amend

VIRGINIA METHoDIsrs.
Annual Conference at Newport New
Begins Wednesday.

NORFOLK, Va. November S-The
eyes OF more than 100000 Methodists In
Virginia are conferred upon the approach
ing session of the Firth annual gathering
Of the Virginia Conference. which will
convene in Trinity Church. Newport
News, next Wednesday morning. This
session will in many respects be the most
important In the history of Virginia.
growing out OF the various matters Of
vital concern to the church that will
come up for consideration.
The most important subject that will
likely be brought first to the attention of
the conference is the relation OF the
church and conference 10 the Randolph
Macon system of education, which has
been understood until recently to be the
property OF the church. In connection
with this subject il is ieaTned that a me
mortal will go up from the Farmhill Dis
trict conference. asking the Virginia con-
ference to memorabilia the general confer
ence OF the Methodist Church South, which
convenes In Asheville, y. c.. in May. 1910
to settle for all time this nluch-mooted
question as to the ownership of all the COL
leges within the bounds of the entire
Methodist Episcopal Church South.
Another question of general interest tC
the church that will probably receive due
consideration by the conference is the
subject Of changing the present name OF
the church from the NJ. E. Church South
TO a name more congenial TO the change In
the times as they now exist.
A good deal OF concern has been felt
among the presiding elders who have
served full quadrennial term In that Of
fee. as well as by the laity. as TO whether
Bishop Morrison will take them out OF
ONCE and place them in charge of stations
and circuits, supplying their places with
preachers who have never filed these posi-
tons. Some are of the opinion that the
bishop will proceed along this line.
The conference will also have under dis
cussion the advisability OF establishing a
state Methodist hospital.
There is said to be a prevailing senti-
ment in many of the state conferences OF
the NJ. z. Church South favoring a change
In the time limit of preachers serving In
circuits and In city stations. This senti.
ment has grown In strength among the
ministry and laity of the Virginia confer
ence. The desire Is to change the time
limit Of preachers from four to six years
This question may be introduced at the
coming session.

MORE PRINTING OFFICE ROOM
PRESENT STRUCTURE SAID TO
BE ovERCRoWDED.
Much Space Taken Up by Matter
Left Standing in Type-Tons
Of Metal Tied Up.

Will Congress meet the requirements OF
| the service and provide a new addition
| to the government printing office? is a
| question uppermost in the thoughts OF
many of the experts in the printing serv-
| ice. When first occupied the present
structure was considered SUFFICIENT to fill
all requirements for years to come. How
ever, the demands on the Office became
so great that at present there Is but HI
| tie room for expansion.
Another problem for the printing COM
mittees will be the growing custom OF
| the issuing offices of having their matter
placed in type and held for days
months and even years pending its COM
pletion. A high official estimates that
$4,000 is invested in the brass galleys
containing the type SO held. The metal
in the matter standing at present is
estimated by the same official to approx
innate 100000 pounds. Not only Is the
money of the government tied up in labor
and materials but 1t is becoming seri-
Gus question of sufficient room for stor-
age of type awaiting the pleasure OF de-
partment officials.
Cost of Extra Proofs.
The question of extra cost Of additional
proofs for issuing offices was forcibly il
Illustrated recently when it became neces-
sary to send 300 pages to the pressroom
in order to obtain a few advance copies
for an important commission. Approx
mately 5000 Is expended yearly for the
paper used for galley and page proofs.

ira for additional proofs, while the gov
eminent is frequently called on for tWen-
ty-five extra sets.
The government printing Office is pre-
pairing for the long siege of congressional
work incident to the assembling of the
legislators. There will not be the great
and continued rush this winter, IT IS
stated particularly at the start, owing to
the fact that about c3,OO bills were IN
troduced at the extra session. Conse-
auently the committees of both houses
have their desks loaded with work, and
the newly appointed members can get
down to work with the drop OF the flag.
Lists are being circulated in all div-
sions asking for counters Tor night work,
