42 YEARS IN CONFERENCE
Long Service Of Rev. James n. Rob-
inson OF Stamford

The Rev. James II. Robinson. pas
tor of the Methodist Episcopal. church
at Stamford, this spring completes
his 42nd year as an effective member
of the Troy conference, having begun
his ministry in Schaghticoke, n. H.,
in 1870. In 1856 and 1887 he was
pastor of the church at West Sand
Lake, and for the year 1883 he was
stationed at Third street, Troy. He
was appointed to his present charge
at Stamford two years ago.
For the past 26 years he has been
member of the committee on claims
of the conference and of the board Of
stewards. into which body the com
mittee was merged a few years ago.
For 16 years he has been secretary
of the committee and board. The
board Of stewards is the body which
administers the funds for the benefit
of the superannuates of the confer
ence and as result great deal Of
work falls to it, the larger part OF
which is done by the secretary.
The question of conference claim
ants is very important one Just at
this time, because of the creation of
the new correctional board by the
last general conference. This sub.
ject will be widely discussed at the
quadrennial session to be held at
Minneapolis in May OF this year. As
there is no one I'm the conference
more conversant with the subject of
conference claimants than Mr.. Rob
inson and as he is well versed In all
matters pertaining to the church at
large, there are many who feel that
he would prove most valuable mem.
Der of the general conference, and
they are, therefore, talking OF him as
one OF the delegates to that body, the
election Of which takes place al the
session of the annual conference al
Saratoga Springs in April. His cleo,
ton Is being urged as a proper rec
ognition OF his long and faithful ser
vice as secretary OF the board; and
for what is more important, to ada tc
the efficiency OF the delegation from
Troy conference 10 the legislative
body of the Methodist EpisoopaI
church which is the largest religion,
organization In the United States.
Mr. Robinson preached at poult
ney, 1895 at Brandon, 1867; ant
at Vergennes, 1889.

THE DILLINGHAM; BILL
Japanese Take Exception to Some Of
Its Provisions.

Its PROVISIONS.
Toxic, March 19.-Count Hamori,
a member of the opposition in the
Japanese house of representatives,
today made a remarkable speech in
the chamber in connection with an
Interpolation concerning the dip.
lomacy of the Japanese government
towards the United States. The
members on all sides of the house
sat virtually spellbound for an hour
while listening to the vehement tones
OF the opposition orator.
Count Hamori condemned Senator
Dillingham's bill amending the inn
migration laws Of the United States
as an insuiferable insult to Japan
He criticised in the strongest terms
the Japanese governments express
sion of its willingness to participate
in the Panama exposition as being
contradictory to Japans honor and
interest.
No reply was made from the
governments side of the house, but
one OF the members of the cabinet
4 promised that a written response Ia
the Interpolation would be given.
The bill introduced by Senator
Dillingham in Washington provides
for, the exclusion of laborers and
artisans or races ineligible fol
american naturalization. It was
understood that this meant both
Japanese and Chinese, and later or
the suggestion Of Senator Lodge the
,clause was amended so that the
susceptibilities Of the Japanese
would not be offended.
