Senate in Deadlock Over
Taft's Appointments.
Officials Fear Commercial War
With Argentine Republic.
| NM ration Bill Passes House But
Not a'tfout Bitter Fight.

Washington Jan. f7-When today's
executive session of the Senate add
journed, the deadlock between the
Democratic and Republican senators
over the confirmation of President
Tafts appointments was more pro-
nounced than at any previous time.
No progress was made and there was
very little effort to confirm anyone.
Ostensibly the army nominations We're
still under consideration and if there
had been action upon any of them
the nomination Of Lieut.. Col. Brewer
to be colonel would have been af-
firmed.
When it appeared that a vote was
about to be taken. Senator Oliver Of
Pennsylvania made the point of no
quorum. The roll call falling to bring
in majority of the Senate an ad
journment was taken Immediately OH
motion of Senator Gallinger.
The closed session continued, for
two hours, and was devoted to a dis
cussion of the general situation. The
Democratic senators renewed their
proposition for a committee of con-
ference which would represent both
sides of the chamber, but Republicans
declined to accept this proposal be-
cause, as they pointed out, 1t would
result in fayoritism to nominations
from the states represented by the
conferees. On the other hand. the
Republicans suggested, that they
should proceed with the nominations
in order with the understanding, that
when there was objection on the Dem
oeratic side the nomination should be
passed without action.
The Democrats announced their de-
termination to hold out for the con
ference committee.
During the session, Senator Bourne.
chairman of the committee en- post
office, presented a resolution, looking
to change of the manner Of report,
ing nominations.

''This mission, which the Boxer
troubles baptized in blood, is now in
a prosperous condition. The last re-
port showed 1906 baptisms for the
year, and the increase in converts
since 1900 is surprising. The sincerity
of the Catholics is attested to by the
fact that there were 255,965 COM
munions in twelve months.
There are twenty principal stations

missionary in Madagascar:
"A boy of five years had retained
from the instruction given the chill

was appointed solely to protect and
care fer him. The child, delighted
with this idea, prayed often to his
guardian angel.
zone day he went with his mother
to cross a river at a place which
usually offered good ford. Heavy
rains had made the footing dangerous,
however, and suddenly the little one
slipped and fell into the stream. The
current bore him away, but instead of
screaming he raised his hands and
uttered his favorite prayer, My good
angel, save met
Several times his head disap-
peared, but again he rose to the sur
face, and always with the same cry,
