house in the form reported by the com

There is no section corresponding
TO this in the bill as it is pending IN

Strictly speaking, each house was
boring holes in a separate Dlll-tne
senate in the bill introduced by Sen
ator Elkins; the house in the bill IN
~trodHced by Representative TOWNSEND
but the bills at the outset were lden-
Jical, though they were made dlAerenl
in various respects b: the committees
which reported them.
Whether either will emerge from
the final stage of joint conference Is a
thing nobody is prepared just now tc
prophesy.
Immediately after the bill was takeI

Of the bill, proposed to lay on the
table the Cummins amendment re

; taking a vote by voluntary taking Iii
amendment out Of the running. IN
Democrats had agreed to vote agalns
2 the CunrmiNs provision in consldefa

Mr.. Elkins explained that the Ma

stitutional restrictions prevented MS
showing his preferences in relation 10

As a diplomat Edward was unexcel'

His influence was always thrown 10
the side of international peace where
compatible with national honor. n
his advice and example had a steady
ing effect on all Europe. He looked
with amused tolerance on the va
carries and extravagances of his neph.
ew. the emperor of Germany, but &C.
casionally that ruler exasperated him
70 such an extent that he could not
refrain from giving him some stern
advice. Such admonition was not re.
ceived by William in a submissive
spirit. and once in a while there were
sensational rumors that the peaceful
relations between the two countries
we're about to be r%uptured.
The development of the kings char
acter in his later years was especially
gratifying to the nation. In addition
to the love of his people, which he
had always had, he gained their ad
miration and respect. They had the
utmost confidence in his good Judg
ment, as was amply exemplified dur
ing the late crisis over the budget
and they were always sure he would
do the right thing at the right time
