By . Telegraph to the News.
WASHINGTON, March 24. The Re
publicans are further from an agree
ment than e ver on the Porto .Rico ques
tion, .
The feeling between the two factions
cf the party has grown quite bitter.
If there is not a change in the situa
tion soon the chances , are that there
will be some unusually exciting times
in Congress.
Tlhe bill has the right of way in the
Senate. But it is reasonably safe to
say tthat it cannot be disposed of inside
of ten days, even if the Republicans
should, in the meantime, reach an
agreement.
, Quite a number of Republican Sena
tors have already announced them
selves in favor of free trade, and oth

against the wishes of their constitu

STORY.,
Weary of city life, Jae Smith family
decided to take a "Holiday" excursion
tinto the country. :Mrs. Smith called
the "Butler" and told him to tell the
"OookT they would not be back for
dinner. IMary put on her "Hood" and
Johnnie hiis "Holland" blouse, and
away they went, "Gay" and nappy as
a "King." Sir. Smith was a "Sterne
Mann," and a little "Fuller than t.he
ought to have been, but being a "Long
fellow" he could "Seymour" than the7
ethers, and so avoided the "Pitt" into
wiaich pcorlittle Susan fell. But Nvheii
they crosseh; the ".Fcrd," in trying to'
"Dodge" a bumblebee .he lost his" bal
ance and fell into the stream. A "Mil
ler, who lived near, T came and .f fCshed
him out. He sat down under a "Haw
thorn" hedge and finding it a "Dryden"
xoou f ell asleep." The sun moved around
and was soon- blazing., down on his
headj "Browhing" him to a beautiful
tan. He awoke with a "Savage" growl,
exclaiming, the "Dickens!" "Howit"
" jitirns! " It" was JStiU:? iand'r peaceful,
th3v,air was ladenr.with, the fragrance
of-'Crabbe" apRle bosscm3',ra Wren"
was dippingjhimisslf in,a;cIeani"Eaor'
of water, and a "Lamb" was' frisking
on the "Green" "Hill" side. A "Harte'j
came dcw;n to the "Brocks" edge sto
drinki and a "3wan"stood with its
long legs in the cool water. The bull
frogs made music in the "Cane" brake,
and from the neighboring "Fields" the
lowing of cattle could be beard., A
milkmaid was l.ettfng down the "Barr"
in the pasture. Though his "Couch"
was so pleasant and the "Day" so love
ly, Smith felt "Moody" and "Cross."
Presently a "Clodhopper" was seen
drawing "Nye." He wore a dark blue
"Spencer" and the hat on his head was
a "Marvel." He was driving a "Hogg,"
wblch had a corn "Cobbe" in its mouth.
His walk was "Swift," if not graceful,
and ihe was eating a piece of "Bacon."
"Have a 'Chaucer?' " be asked politely.
Of "Goldsmith" had none, but mindful
cf the "Akenside," -he offered him a
piece of "Sterling" silver in exchange
fcr hlis lunch. Full of "Pope" and
feeling like a "Newman," Smith, joined
his family and as "Knight" was "Cum
ming" on, they sought their "Holmes,"
singdng a "Carroll," which ended in
"Auld Lang Syne." "
After "Auld Lang Syne," the merry,
but puzzled and bewiildered guessers,
exchanged cards, and 'Miss Rankin read
the story, supplying the correct names.
Five cards ,were correct: Mrs. J- L..
Chambers, 7Mrs. C. M. 'Carson, Mrs. J.
W. Stagg, Mrs. W. A. Graham, Miss El
la Sumney.' On the draw, Mrs. Cham
bers got the prize a picture done by
Miss Rankin, and, therefore, a prize in

Dr Henson 5ays it is Needed in

"Backbone," was the subject of a
very enjoyable lecture last night at the
Y. IM, C A. Iby Rev. Dr. Henson. Ths
speakerxwias (introduced :by Rev. Dr.
.Howerton who said: ...
"Dt. Henson was here three yearsago.
He has grown since then as everylive
man 4fes. He 'is known all ovcrvthi&
United States, and we are (not, t'neire
ifore I think It more appropriate that
I introduce the audience to Dr. Hen
son." As he said this, Dr. Henson arose
and expressed his thanks very grace
ful. He" said by way of introduction he
felt very much at home in 'the tSouth
land, haviing been born and reared
there, a statement -whicih put 'him at
once era raipport with his aduience.
The idc-ctcr esnrrJhasized in a very strong
lecture, full of wit, fun, sense and
"backbone," -rhe need of backbone in
every: calling, beginning with t'he pul
pit. He paid tributes to the Piilgrim
Fathers; to different Biblical and polit
ical characters; w'ho had stood un
moved amidst the wrong for the right;
deplcred the fact that .Adam' had, not
had moire (backbone; also the lack
family government these days, and tlhe
gccieri lack cf stamener of human
kind. "It, takes backbone, said the
speaker to preach to a rich and fash
ionalble c'hurteh 'in any of the large
citie's, .to look those rich pew holders
in the ifaice and say, 'thou art the
man.' You just try to preach about di
vorce in Ohiteago; or the saloon busi
ness', or card playing, or church doc
trine, and tbe first 'fining you know
your deacons will wait on you and tell
you that you may be good but you are
not wise, jfe'opie don j- .Deiieye an aoc
trine any more. What the world most
needs is what it least wants to hear
albout. "We can do '" 'without genius,
without learning Without art, but we
cannot do" with out "Backbone."
The llecturer is a fine story teller. He
kept liis audience on the qui v!ive c'f in
terest, and amiieed. to almost a state cf
"giggles." He must come again.

THE CONFERENCE,
The National Reform Associa
tion Engaged in Non-Sectarian
Work.
THE IDEAS ON WHICH BASED.
The Fundamental Principles ol
Christian Civil (vernrnent
Discussed Under Different
Heads Rev. Dr. George, the
Field Sec. Here for a' Week.
The National Reform Association
will hold a conference in this city next
week, the first service being the mass
meeting at the association hall tomor
row afternoon. - - -
The National Reform Association
was organized in the vear 1864. Dur-
ing'the year before, a Christian confer
ence had been held with special refer
ence to condition of the. country. The
programme of thus conference read in
this wise: "Religion iin tSie heart occu
pied one session; religion in the home
another; religion in the church anoth
er, and religion in the nation the last."
This 'citizens' conference had represen
tatives from eleven different denomi-
ations of Christians, and from seven of
the States o the country. The discus
sion under tbe bead of "Religion in the
Nation"resulted in steps being taken to
form the National Ref orm Association.
It has been entirely free from denom
inationalists, sectarianism, sectional
ism, party lines of any kind, and from
every manner of church interference or
control. It .has 'been fully endorsed,
ably advocated, and' earnestly support
ed by the-best menCin every orthodox
church, JflC the land'.and by good men
nctjin telcburoh 'at' nl!. It is opposed.
to seculaiand in favor of Christian
civil government. It is opposed to tht
union of cSiurdh and State. It iseeks for .
the application of Christianity to the .
State, In ihe Stats sphere, as cetaimly
as to the home in the home sphere, and
when secularists and anarchists are"
pleading loudly for the, removal of the
Christian features of our national life,
this association stands unyieldingly for
tihe Chrstiap Saibbath; the Bible in the
schools of the country'; Christian di
vorce laws, land such like. It asks that'
these be guaranteed and protected by
law and fundamental law, for if 4t is
right to have such institutions, it is
right to have them protected by law:
The association-; stands firmly against- .
all national and State license for the : .g j r. .'A:
sale of liquorV or State authorization -of IwilI-jl: ;
anything fobat' is dishonoring to God or- ' )"Tt lt;aur.
harmful to liquor. It is in . favor of
State guardianshiprpf everything es
sential "ti the welfar. of society. That
the nation may secure this end, the as
sociation asks t'hat. it be amended in
its constitution so as to recognize God
as the source cf all power, Jesus Christ
as the men of the nation, and the Bible
as the supreme law in all legislation.
