There is no doubt that when the vote ' is taken the recommendations of the com- < mittee on finance will be adopted and that ail prooosed amendments will be voted down. Before the vote is obtained, however, both Senators Clay and Bristow will make further comment on the schedule and its telation to the sugar trust. Senator Aid rich also may speak briefly in defense of the duties sugar standard. CUMMINS SPEAKS. The senate lost little time today in re suming its discussion of the sugar sched ules, Mr. Cummins, one of the •progres slv.” leaders, being the first speaker of the day. He advocated the wiping out of the differential duty in the interest of refined sugar. Pointing out the danger to the sugar industry by the continued admission of free sugar from Porto Rico « and Hawaii and the Philippines, if the pending bill should authorise such ad * mission from the Philippines. Mr. Cum mins questioned the wisdom of permitting cane sugar to kill the beet sugar indus try. as he said it might. He sqid he had no doubt that Cuba would also tn time send her sugar here free of duty. Interrupting. Senator Foster suggested that he would join the senator from lowa in any effort he might make to keep out free sugar from the Philippines. Mr. Cummins declared that ample abil ity existed to supply the entire demanu for sugar in the United States by the culture of beets, and he believed the time had eome to handle the question. Mr. Cummins commented at length on what he characterised as the natural warfare between cane and beet sugar, which, he said, would be shown in the fu ture as the Importations of free sugar increased in volume. PROTECTION BOUNTY. He commented on the bounty as a means for protecting beet sugar growers, but did not offer an amendment for such a bounty. He opposed the inclusion of the duties standing in the pending bill, and said it was in favor of the cane industry and against the use of beet sugar. He would raise the duty on raw sugar than reduce it. he said. Senator Aldrich suggested that the abol ition of the 16 standard would allow allow sugar above that color test to come into the country with about one-half of the duty it now pays, and declared that it then would come into competition With thebeet sugar Industry. Controverting this statement, Mr. Cum mins said he would not only do away 10th the Dutch standard, but would have no differential on refined sugar, so that the "sugar trust” would have its profits confined to the actual differential U would get from the free sugar admitted to the country. 'Then he believed the sugar trust could not dominate the mar ket, and the beet sugar industry would •have a better chance to prosper. He k would put a duty upon all cane sugar Imported. avoiding to its sachanc strength alone. Senator Root read a letter to the sen ate showing that while the American and National Sugar Refining companies pro duced 1.679. N tons of the refined sugar • produced in the. United States, other inde pendent companies In 901 produced 32,711 I ’ tins or $3.15 per cent of the entire pro \ duct. f DECLINES DUTCH TEST. The senate refused, 36 to 47. to strike the Dutch standard test out of the sugai schedule a* proposed by Senator Bristow. I of aKnsas House Wrangles Over New Porto Bican Bill WASHINGTON. May 27.-When called to order today the house of representa tives resumed consideration of the Porto Rican bill. Mr. Douglass, of Ohio, the first speaker, arraigned the house of delegates of Por to Rico, for making it a condition prece dent. he charged, to Its assent to appro priations that the executive council, or upper body agree to certain legislation. “It amounts to revolution—nothing else.” he exclaimed. He declared in re sponse to a question by Mr. Fitzgerald. of New York, that while he was willing to admit that revolution might be justified in Porto Rico calling for such a course. He defended the bill as well as the policy of the government toward the island pos sessions. ILLINOIS HOUSE is” ~ THROWN IN TURMOIL SPRINGFIELD. 111..

Continued from Page One. — The all-important question Is: What will ( he do* There was a short conference Thursday • morning at the Piedmont between him and George M. Sutton, postoffice inspec tor; and L. M. Terrell, superintendent of I the railway mail service. The question • of how the strike is interfering with the malls must then have been discussed. Inspector Sutton has had his men in- J vestigating the situation with regard to _ the delay of mails and probably acquaint- •' ed Mr. Neill with what facts he has. Following this no statement was given out. NEILL SEES BALL. At o’clock Thursday morning. Commissioner Neill went Into conference with E. A. Ball, vice president of the • firemen, and the two discussed the strike at length. No recommendation as to how the strike may be ended was made, however. The situation was simply discussed. Mr. Ball says that he has now laid the | position of his men full*’ before Mr. I Neill. As he has put it, the fundamental j reason for the strike is the negro ques tion. The white firemen wish to be rec ognised as senior and superior to the ne gro. Following his conference with Mr. Ball, ( Mr. Neill went into conference with Mr. ’ Scott at the Piedmont. No statement of ■ the result was made. Vice President Bail says that the next move now rests with Manager Scott. He describes the situation as being like a checker game. “We have moved.” he says. "Now it’s up to the other side.” In speaking of delay to the mail, he says that the firemen have never caused any such delay, and they stand ready at any moment to man every mail train that is prepared. One feature of the situation is that the engineers are very anxious to have the strike ended. Though they have not joined with the strikers, they are suffering equally. Assistant Chief Burgess offered his ser vices at the outset as mediator. But they were declined. Wednesday proved to be a day of many conferences. The better part of the morning was spent by Mr. Neill and Mr. Scott behind closed doors. In the after noon Mr. Neill conferred with Vice Presi dent Ball, and, afterward. Mr. Scott was in confer ence with Governor Smith, At torney General Hart, arid Judge John 8. Candler, at the governor's mansion. It was hoped that this last conference would be productive of results. It had • been said that it might end in Mr. Scott I agreeing to appoint a com mittee to con | fer with a committee from the firemen. | At its conclusion, however, it was an ! nounced that this had not been done. OFFICER WITH PISTOL STARTS PANIC ON TRAIN (By Associated Press.) ANNISTON. Ala..

LMIOWND IK FIREMEN'S STRIKE Vice President W. L. Mapother, of L. & N., is Coming to Atlanta ' at Request of General Manager Scott. i Tt Is understood that Vice President W. L. Mapother, of the Louisville and Naahvpib Railroad company, will reach Atlanta some time Thursday to take part in the strike situation and assist General Manager T. K. Scott, of the Georgia rail road. It was hinted in railroad circles Thurs day that Vice President Mapother had been requested to come to Atlanta by General Manager Scott and that he would arrive from Birmingham Thursday. Vice President Mapother is the second ranking official of the Louisville and Nashville railroad, being the first vice president of the company and second only to Presi dent Smith. The fact that the Louisville and Nash ville railroad is one of the controlling factors of the Georgia railroad and that they with the West Point Route, are In terested In the Georgia Terminal com pany, gives rise to the report that the Louisrille and Nashville railroad may take some part in the present difficulty. ALL ROADS EXCEPT TWO USE NEGRO FIREMEN There are but two roads coming Into Atlanta that do not employ negro fire- | men. The W. & A. and the N., C. & St. L. use white firemen on their engines exclusively, while the Southern, Central of Georgia, West Point Route, L. .& N., Seaboard, and the Georgia road work ne groes. The Seaboard, it was learned, used more negro firemen than any other road, practically all of their engines be ing fired by negroes. The question as to whether the strike on the Georgia road would affect other roads if the firemen were victorious In their fight to have the negro firemen ousted has arisen and is causing consider able comment in railroad and business circles, it having been rumored that the firemen of the other roads, where ne groes are employed, would take a step similar to that taken by the Georgia road firemen, if the demands of the strik ers were met? Vice President E. A. Ball, of the fire men, stated that nothing of this kind would arise, as this was a fight purely of the firemen of the Georgia road, and that It did not make any difference what the outcome was, the other roads would not be affected. Notwithstanding this statement, com ing from one of the officials of the fire men, it Is believed that there are prob abilities of the firemen of other roads taking an action in the same direction, should the Georgia firemen come out vic torious. The other roads employing negro firemen entertain grave fears. It Is said, that trouble of the same nature will re sult in their respective system, and the stubborn fight the Georgia railroad is making to bring V s firemen to terms Is believed to be a con\ iuence partly of the anxiety of the other ""Nads.

Holcombe is Seeking Par-! don, and Family From Whom Horse Was Stolen Are Oppos ing It. 4 singular Instance of heredity has cropped out In the opposition that will be made to a pardon now being sought before the prison commission for W. H. Holcombe. Nearly 40 years ago Holcombe stole a horse from Horace Cannon up In Gil mer county. For this offense he was sen tenced to six years In the penitentiary. After serving three years of the term, he escaped and went west where he has lived In freedom up until a few days ago. Then, a longing to see his old home and kmdred once more lured him back to Georgia. His head was gray and he bent under his heavy thre score and ten. He was discovered, arrested and put in the Tower and now the descendants of Horace Cannon, the man whose horse was stolen back in the 70’s are to oppose Holcombe’s pardon. Thus has the feeling 8? a generation that has passed sprung up anew and the old man is pleading not only with the state but with an un forgetting human instinct. Holcombe’s petition for pardon will be heard by the commission with! nthe next day or so. He Is represented by Judge T. P. Westmoreland. THIS IS THE OKAPI, MADE FAMOUS BY TEDDY ' J w : • J /•..)

Like Mr. Roosevelt’s discovery of the ten commandments, it is Interesting but not absolutely novel. The pert paragrapher of The Journal re cently expressed curiostity about the oka pi, and ventured the assertion that ft I must be a bird, “bird” being used In Its slang sense. Mrs. L A. Anderson, of Washington, Ga., saw the paragraph, and had also seen a picture of the okapi In a magazine the title of which she cannot recall. She cut out the illustration and sent It to The Journal. It is reproduced herewith, and if Mr. Roosevelt should kill another okapi, you will have an Idea what the beast looks like.

Ga., May 26.—After an af ternoon of debate that grew tense at times, the general assembly of the South e»-n Presbyterian church. In convention here, failed to reach the point where a vote couTd be taken upon the reports of its judiciary committee upon the dispute which has arisen over the status of the Central university of Kentucky. It was announced at the afternoon ses sion that the debate would be concluded last night, but the evening session passed by with no debate and today Is set apart, except so rthe regular addresses and oth er matters the program has arranged, for the final set-to. The committee’s ma porlty report upholds the contentions of thecomplalnants in the matter, while a minority repor tupholds the contention of th esynod of Kentucky. The fight be fore the assembly, siting as an ecclesias tical court, Is now whether the assembly shall review the action of the Kentucky synod in permitting the amending of the charter of the university so as to quali fy for the Carnegie foundation for teach ers.

He was searched by a policeman and dis- 1 possessed of his pistol. Later Lorentzen took the stand.

In case the strike situation is not cleared up within the immediate future, the ques tion as to whether Governor Smith will interfere in the name of the state and operate trains over the Georgia lines, thereby re-establishing service to all points linked together by the Georgia road, has arisen and is becoming para mount In the situation. It is said that a law governing the point of the state authorities interfering when a railroad is unable to handle its lines, exists, and that the governor can order the re-establishment of service and oper ate the lines in the name of the state. This is a feature in the strike that is being commented upon generally, and the governor was sought by The ’Journal In regard to the matter, and refused to be COMET FLYING THRO 9 SPACE MILLION MILES A MINUTE, VISIBLE TO THE NAKED EYE . (By As»ociited Pren.) NEW YORK, May 27.—A new comet which is flying through space at the rate of many million miles a minute may be seen by the naked eye just after sunset any evening on the southwest horizon, according to Edward Fairfax Naulty, an astronomer, who has confirmed the dis covery of the comet on Monday by Pro fessor Wm. R. Brooks, of Hobart cllege, Geneva, N. Y. TOP OF HEAD CUT OFF MAN LIVES WITH CAST OF PLASTER FOR SKULL NEW YORK.

Therefore the council committee on public buildings has abandoned its plan of Inviting the ex ecutive. The members of the committee figured that it would cost $5,000 to have the celebration they had planned. The city would hqve to hire bands at the union scale, get out a fancy program, purchase several yards of bunting, erect -a plat form for the speakers, invest in some sou venirs for the distinguished guests, hire some automobiles to take the president for a ride through the parks, and per haps have a banquet. It was too much. qaoted or to state whether or not the state would take any action. He was ab solutely non-committal on the subject. Attorney General Hart was also asked his opinion on the subject and refused to make any statement. It is believed, however, that the state authorities are considering taking the matter In hand, and putting the Georgia railroad wheels in motion unless the road officials can adjust the situation in the immediate future.
