Senate Fails to Keep Promise, Says Beverldge—Aldrich of Opposite View. ‘Washington, July 8.—The failure of the senate to keep the promise made to the people by the republican party re- speching a revision of the tariff down- ward was the theme of Senator Bev- eridge as the debate on the pending bill was drawing to a close. “Our votes,” he said, “shall be cast 1n harmony with our, party’s pledge as voiced by our party’s leader and the nation’s president.” Suggesting that the “insurgents™ would cast their votes on the final passage of the bill in coriformity with their previous action, Mr. Beveridge aaid they would do so as & notice to the conferees to bring back & bill in which there were decreased duties. Aldrich Answers Beverldge. Mr. Beveridge was answered by Mr. Aldrich, who said he had often scen men interpret their own judgment as the judgment of their party. “The republican party is a party of majorities,” he added, “and the views of the majority in matters of legisla- tion .contrdl party pdlicies. The- sen- ator from Indiana does not speak for the republican party. He has no right to call here the name of the president of the United States in support of any suggestion which he has made.” Mr. Aldrich declared, that the pend- ing bill was a fylfillment of the party’s pledge. If senators wished to ' vote against the bill, he said, they should not attempt to speak for their party. Protests Against Aldrich’s Coursn. “I have listened with deep interest to the tearful and prophetic funeral oration,” said Mr. Stone from the dem- ocratic’ side of the chamber. He de- clared it reminded him of the old h; “Hark from the Tomb .a Doleful Sound.’ Mr. Crawford protested vigorously against any attempt by Chairman Ald- rich to prevent republican semators from the exercise of their judgment. “Am I not a good loyal member of my party?” asked Mr. Crawford. He proposed to exercise his judgment and to follow his convictions in voting upon the bill. Senator Clapp also joined in the pro- test against any effort by the senator from Rhode Isiand to control his ac- tions. “I am neither stung, silenced nor en- tombed by the words of the senator from Rhode Island,” said he. “It would take more than the sena- tor from Rhode Island to read the state of Minnesota out of the republican par- ty” sald Mr. Nelson, amid applause, which called down the gavel of the vice president, with the announcement that such expressions were not per- mitted. He said he did not care to be ‘lectured by the senator from Rhode Island, Bill Put On Its Passage. The bill was then put on its pas- ',iase. It was passed by a vote of 45 to Senate Conference Announced. ‘Upon motjon of Mr. Aldrich the vice president announced the senate con- iferees as follows: Senators Aldrich, “Burrows, Penrose, Hale, Cullom, re- ublicans, and Daniel, Money and sBailey, democrats.

D, presided, and the programme open- ed with an anthem by the choir, which includea Mrs, Mary Hutchinson, Miss Della Jones. Mrs. Minnie Cole, Miss Lena Holliday, William Cole and Rev. Mr. McLean, with Miss Mary Marshali organist. Prayer was offered by the pastor, after which he was heard in earnest and inspiring words of congratulation with an expression of confidence in the enlargement of the work of the church in the coming year. A history of the church prepared and read by the church secretary, Mrs. Min- nie B. Cole, showed that the idea of starting a new church originated in a meeting held in the spring of 1900 at the home of Harrison Payne on Spring street, some twenty-five attending the meeting, and after several more meet. ings at the same place the church was organized on July 5th and Rev. Walter Rowland Davis was chosen as the first pastor. The first officers were Lucius Dabney, Harrison Payne, Bartholomew Migkins, Fred Lane and Thomas Voor- hees, deacons; Fred Lane, Harrison kPayne and Luclus Dabney, trustees: Tucius Dabney, treasurer; Mrs. M. B. Cole, clerk. In the same year the chapel where the church now meets was hought from Trinity Hpiscopal church awith an adjoining Iot at a total cost of $1,700. Rev. Mr. Davis stayed as pastor of the church until Septem- ber, 1902, when he resigned and was succeeded by Rev. A. W. Adams. Gifts that were made to the church were a pulpit.and railing from the First Baptist church, a communion set by the Helping Hands society, King's Daughters. % After severa] years of hard struggle all the accumulated indebtedness of the church, including the balance on the mortgage, was paid oft in 1906 Rev. A. W. Adams resigned the pas. torate Jan. 1st, 1908, and was succeed. ed in May, 1908, by the present pastor, Rev. Mr, McLean, of Cambridge, Mass. The outlook at the present time is hopeful and promising. This report was followed by a well rendered solo by Mrs. Hutchinson and an anthem by the chofr, after which the pastor invited all out to the lawn, where a committee of the women served ice cream, cake and water- melon, having the yard around the church prettily decorated with Japan- ese lanterns.

House Cleaned Up the Calendar— Optional Closing of Salogns. Hartford, Conn., July §.—The house made excellent progress during its af- ternoon session today and cleaned up the calendar and got many minor mat- ters out of the way. After passing in the morning the Manchester trolley fare bill reducing the price of fare be- tween Manchester and Hartford, the house voted after dinner to accept the report of the sailroad committee and reject the measure providing for a similar reduction-on the lines between Branford and East Haven and New Haven, also between Stonington and Pawcatuck, and a few moments later granted_a reduction in_ the fare be- tween Bridgeport and Derby «in the town of Huntington, and then rejected a_similar proposition in the town of ‘Windsor. Sharing of Cost of nw‘. Bridges. Representative Bishop attacked the measure favored by the rallroad com- mittee which provides that where thera is a question of the sharing of the cost of repalring bridges over which trolley lines pass between the companies and the towns between which the bridges are operated the railway commisszon- ers shall act as referces. He said that this would pave the way for extensive dems on the towns, that bridges over whieh such trolley lines pass should be built strong enough for the passage of heavy freight cars over them. and stated that the railroad is gradually deyeloping its trolley express into trolley freight car- riers. Mr. Chandler of Rocky Hill, wno spoke in favor of the megsure, said that there was a grave danger to the public in allowing present conditions to continue, as some disputes had al ready arisen beiween the trolley com- panies and the towns, and, as nejther woould make the necessary repairs, the condition of the bridges had become dangerous to traffic. He thought that if the house did not care to accept the railroad commissioners as the proper tribunal they ought to designate some other tribunal for the work, as the conditions call for some remedy. The matter finally went to the foot of the calendar at the request of Representa- tive Fuller of Sueld, who =aid that they had already found one bill from the raflroad committee which they had been assured was a harmless one and which would have saddled a large ex- pense for repairs upon the towns. He thought that there ought to he time glven to take the matter up and in- vestigate it more thoroughly The act_providing (hat no railrosd can obstriict any highway for more than five minutes was adopled after & brief explanation.
