Senator Sherman Talks.

When the meeting adjourned for th'
day Senator Sherman gave out what hi
said was synopsis OF the discussion. III,
said:
We considered whether tho ma
tional committee should be as In
flexible In character as IL has been.
The opinion was that the commit
tee would be arnenable 10 public
opinion and keep pace with what
was going on. There was no deci-
sion on the matter OF calling ma
tional convention this year The
CALL OF course would have to come
from the national committee. The
question, then, arose as to whether
the committee would Issue n CALL
and We felt that the committee would
yield to tho sentiment OF Republic
ans generally on that point. as last
years election was pretty positive
indicator that radical changes should
be made.

Reasons Are Given.

He passes over questions affecting
treaty rights for two reasons: First,
because the bill passed by the leg
islature Is avowedly intended to con-
form TO treaty obligations, and, Sec
ond, because any conflict complained
or would be matter for the courts,
but the president feels justified IN
expressing again his desire that ac-
tion on the subject be deferred for
this session. and he expresses the
desire the more freely because the
legislature can be reconvened at any
time X the welfare OF the state ro-
quires 1t. He IS fully alive TO the
Importance of removing any root of
discord which may create anita gonisul
between American citizens and the
subjects OF oriental nations residing
here. but he Is inlpelIed by a sense
Of duty to express the hope that you
