washington, Aug. 12.-DisregardIng
telegraphed request from President
tart for contrary course. the senate
committee on foreign relations today
agreed upon an amendment to the
British and French treaties. eliminating
the provision comforting special pow
ers on the proposed joint high commits
sion. In this form the treaties were
reported to the senate and tSle presi-
dents wishes that the action be post

at nanght.
The general opinion among senator's

receive very little. II any. further con-
sideration at this session OF congress.
Wires From Beverly.
The telegram from Mr.. Taft was sent
from Beverly and was received by
Chairman Cullom prior to the session
OF the foreign relations committee. It
was addressed TO the committee and
requested that IL the treaties were to
be amended that action should be post
poned until December. Before leaving
Washington the president gave sena-
''io W uhusIstdHu lHdl He WOulu not
yield without a struggle, and his friends
express doubt IL he would not prefer
the failure Of the treaties rather than
ratification with the paragraph elimi-
mated
Both In committee and in the senate
fear was expressed that the ratifica-
tion of the treaties would have the
effect OF throwing open the doors of
arbitration to all questions involved
In dealing with such oriental nations
as China and Japan and involving i'm
migration and admission to the public
schools.
Senator Borah and other western
senators pointed out to the foreign re-
lations committee this danger. On this
account, as well as for other reasons
Mr.. Borah moved the cancellation OF
the paragraph comforting extra priyi-
leges on the joint high commission.

promise wool bill as agreed upon
by the senate and house conferees,
makes the duty on wool 20 per
cent. ad valorem, and the average
duty on woolen goods about 45 per

are about evenly divided upon the
bill. 1t Is generally agreed that the
bill as now reported is tie equiva-
lent of about cents on rala wool,
while the present nominal duty is
II cents pound. Under the opera
ton of the famous "skirting clause"
provision, that has been in all wool
tariffs since 1897. the actual duty,
as It affects the woolgrower, IL
only about cents. The tariff COM

Christ's children to Christ himself
This expression of Christ is a highly
figurative one. II is based upon Oriental
habit and experience Should you go into
the Jordan valley or Jordan plain, even
at the present time. you could see there
large flocks of sheep with their shepherds
watching over them by day; and when
night would begin to fall you could see
them lead their flocks back into the fold,
where they are secure from all external
toes during the darkness Of the night. The
sheep follow to the shepherds call In the
1orning, when he puts them forth, he
alks before them, he speaks to them, ana
ey follow him They know his voice,
ut the call Of a stranger they will not rec
,gnize The shepherd also knows his sheep
nd is able to call each one by name
The divine call signifies the same thing
to us. Christ knows that we are wander
ing sheep He knows that we are so prone
to stay away, and that we are exposed
to great danger. Way back in Isaiah we
find statement that already alludes to
this very fact. The prophet says, 'All we,
like sheep, have gone astray; we have
wandered everyone in his own way
Christ knew this and knows 1t now and
thus calls to him, so that we might be
protected by Him.
Then, Christ also desires to lead us into
better pastures. We do not always know
what is best for us. We go where we
