The Senate met at 11 o'clock today, and will continue meeting at that hour until the tariff bil has passed. The attend- ance was meager, and it was noticeable that there were more democrats than re-: publicans present. The tariff bill was taken up at 11:10 a.m. At the suggestion’ of Mr. Jones (Ark.) an afrangement was made by which the Sen-: ate after agreeing to several amendments, might return and secure a vote on six or mere at a time. i The consideration of the agricultural schedule was. continued. . The first con- test was over vondensed milk. Mr. Jones moved to make the rate 20 per cent ad valorem, which was lost. Mr. Vest moved to put cabbages on the free list. Lost. When cider was reached Mr. Vest said_| he “drew the line at cider.” After three weeks of arduous labor the democrats had succeeded in only one instance in securing @ slight reduction, and he appealed to New England to come to ihe rescue of cider, “the liquor of our ooyhood, the beverage which cheers, but not inebriates, which sparkles in every New Englani festival and in the west and south, wherever the apple is raised and used.” If there was a temperance man on the republican side of the chamber, to him Mr. Vest appealed. He had been in Europe «nd had seen there that the use of light wines, beer and cider was the right road to temperance, end he was sorry he was not there now instead of struggling hopciessly with the tariff. “Give up the struggle,” suggested Mr. Frye amid laughter. “We cannot always give things up,” re- Plied Mr. Vest. “Every public man has sometimes to take hold of a ‘live wire’ and cannot let go. My friend from Maine, with a strong disposition to piscatorial exercises, is compelled to stay here to wrestle with. financial and economical! questions.” Mr. Vest spoke of the drink of our child- hood, and said Noah had never joined the Sons of Temperance. “It would have been better if he had,” Mr. Platt (Conn.) suggested. veuut he did not join them,” insisted Mr. est.

Dr. Parson Reports That the Wash- imgton Aged People’s Home Has Beem a Success. : MANSFIELD, Ohio, June 16—The com- mittee of the Lutheran synod to which ‘was referred the offer of Dr. H. W. Kuhns, Omaha, to donate thirteen lots, comprising ®@ square, in'Omahsa, for the establishment of an orphans’ home, reported this morn- ng that Senator Charles Bogardus, Pax- ton, Ill., had telegraphed an offer to locate the proposed home in Paxton, and another’ telegrar with a similar offer had been re- ceived from Sedalia, Mo. Dr. Kuhns se- cured the floor, and said he had twenty acres of land lying eight miles out of Omaha, which he would donate for the founding of the home if the synod pre- ferred a country site. The synod instructed President Hamma to appoint a standing committee to con- sider all offers, form plans for the charac- ter of. the jnstitution and report at the next general synod, two years hence. The committee appointed was: Rev. M. F. Troxell, Springfield, I.; W. H. Dunbar, Baltimore; C. B. King, Allegheny, Pa.; L. P. Sudden, Lincoln, Neb.; Layman H. J. Benfold, Omaha. A resolution was passed instructing the deaccness board to look for a permanent Iecation for the mother house, and report at the next biennium. Rey. H. C. Haitli- cx, Abiiene, Kan., submitted the report of the board of education. The receipts of the board for the biennium ending in 1895, on apportionment, $11,950, and from other sources, $4,589, a total of $16,539, and for the biernium just closed: On apportion- ment, $17,227, and from other sources, $3,409; total, $20,630. These have been used to aid in the support of Midland College, Certhage College, the Western Theological Seminary and Hartwick Seminary. The Rev. Dr..Parson reported on behalf of the National Lutheran Home for the Aged, at Washington, D. C., that one build- ing had been erected, id others were in ¢eentemplation, and that the indications were that within a few years a very con- siderable development would be made. The indebtedness had been reduced $2,200. The apportionment asked for the next two years was 5 cents per capita. Dr. Parson, “as chairman of the committee on literary and theological institutions,sub- mitted a report, from which it appears that all the institutions under the care of the general synod were in a flourishing condi- tion, some of them having received large bequests of money and real estate. The at- tendance had been steadily increasing, no- tably in the case of Wittenburg, which now had the*largest ‘number of students. The young ladies’ seminaries were doing suc- cessful work for the church. ——>— SIOUX ‘WANT A MONUMENT. DR. ELLIOI’S RESOLUTION ——.___ The convocation of the Episcopal diocese. of Washington, which is being held at St. Mark's Pro-Cathedral, corner of 3d and A streets southeast, today, is an important gathering, and the probabilities are that the members of the clergy and the laity present will decide to meet many of the exigencies which have arisen from having a single convocation for the entire diocese, and will make a division which will relieve many annoyances that exist at present. The diocese of Washington is composed of the District of Columbia and the Mary- land counties of Montgomery, Prince George's, Charles and St. Mary’s. In the missionary work of the diocese the extent of the territory embraced and the means ministers have of traveling from one por- tion of it to another have presented vexa- tious conditions. The committee on canons at the general convention recommended the abolishment of the convocation immediate- ly. As is well known, a convocation is a gathering of members of the clergy and Tepresentatives of the laity of a diocese where they discuss with the bishop or his representative the plans and ideas to be followed in mission work. In the absence of Bishop Satterlee, who is in Europe, the convocation today was presided over by Archdeacon T. 8. Childs, with Rev. Arthur 8. Johns, secretary of the diocese of Washington, as secretary. The business session of the convocation, which began at 11 o'clock, was preceded by religious services. There were morning prayers at 9:30 a.m., followed by the lit- any and communion services at 10 am., which were conducted by Archdeacon Childs, assisted by Rev. W. L. Devries, rectcr of St. Mark’s, and Rev. Charles H. Hayes, the latter’s assistant. All of the ministers present and many of the laity partook ef communion. The Members Present. . The members of the clergy in attendance were Revs. John A. Aspinwall, David Barr, Obre R. Bourne, Charles E. Bu>k, Jameg A. Buck, D.D.; Thomas 8. Childs, D.D.; James W. Clark, James B. Craightiil, William L. Devries, Ph.D.; John H. Elliot, 8.T.D.; Frank M. Gibson, Ph.D.; H. Allen Griffith, Alfred Harding, Arthur S. Johns; Geo. H. Johnston, D.U.; ‘ihos. A. Johnstone, Randolph W.

D., June 16.—The re- maining braves of the Sioux tribes have petitioned the government for permission to erect a monument over the graves of the dead warriors slain at the battle of Wounded Knee, seven years ago. About eighteen miles west of Pine Ridge agency, extending along the ridge of a plateau, are the trenches where lie 130 Indian warriors.

It was felt, he said, by a large majority of the members of the convocation that as No alleviative scheme had been presented, the acceptance of the report of the com- mittee on canons would be an act of hasty legislation, not in harmony with the tradi- tions inherited from a diocese always dis- tinguished by a conservatism always jeal- ous of innovation, either of a distinctive or constructive character. The suggestion to divide the convocation, said Mr. Johnstone, should not be discussed until it was fully understood whether there would be any- thing to divide. He asked if it was worth while trying to continue the convocational system in the diocese of Washington; if it had been’ successful in the past in the at- tainment of its purposes; if it had been a missionary force in the diocese or accom- plished anything of substantial value in bringing clergy and parishes, urban, sub- urban and rural, into closer and more cor- dial relations? Mr. Johnstone said it was true that in the past few years it had been moribund, but this was not due to any in- herent defect in the system. A Division Recommended. There should be more hearty support of the convocation, and he suggested a di- vision of the diocese into two convocations, one embracing the District of Columbia, Montgomery county, Md., and the three parishes in Prince George's county, leaving the remaining part of Prince George’s county, with Charles and St. Mary’s coun- the Indians shail show hostility to ineir white brother.
