This means that an extended debate-
on the reciprocity, measure will not be
allowed In the House unless the Demo
crats and antl-admlnistratlon Repub
licans stand together to defeat It if an
attempt Is made to rush it through.
The Republican leaders and the ma
jority members of the Committee on
Wflvs anil Mo cm a ara tionl at ml, A a-
vising a measure which will cover the
ground and yet not be subject to
amendment for the Senate will stand
on its dignity and refuse to agree to
any measure that' makes a change in
the terms of the treaty.
It will not surprise many of those
on the inside if the old warfare be
tween the two bodies is renewed to the
downfall of Cuban reciprocity or at
least to a lengthy delay in the final
action on the treaty.
,The House members claim that by
the present treaty the duty on sugar
is not to be reduced, either by treaty
or convention, during the life of the
convention. Hence, they argue, to con
cede the position of the Senate would
be a surrender of one lf their consti
tutional powers.

,peI?d-
The Democrats voted solidly in the
last Congress to remove the differential
and with the votes of thirty-odd Re
publican insurgents were able to attach
a trovision to the Cuban bill which
caused it to fail to become a law. In
order to be consistent they .will be
! obliged to support eueh an amendment
i again, A yet there have been no
overtures- made by either the Demo
erat or the beet ugar Republicans
leekifli toward a removal of the eld
alliance but the Democrats are noperui
that there may be enough Republicans
ta ieln with them to pa sueh an
amendment. Shuold there he, the alt

that there Is little or no doubt of the

High Point, Nov. 11. High Point
has thrown wide her gates, and be

and delegates composing the Western
North Carolina Conference with many
visitors have taken possession.
Bishop Smith's remarks at the open
ing session were very greatly enjoyed.
He -read the 12th chapter of Romans
and the following are some Of the com
ments: We should have a high stan
dard for ourselves, but should hot
think too highly of ourselves, much of
turoble comes from this source, It is
very difficult to be tolerant Be your
selves, When you try to ape some one
elee you generally end in the ape, :
do not need to urge Methodist preach
ere to be hospitable, but hospitality is
declining In a great many places. "Over
come evil with good." Substitute tbia
for the ether expression, "Fight the
devil with Are." Now the devil Is
much better aide to handle Are than
yon, and he will beat you every time,
Th regular committees were ep
pointed and ether routine work done,
Much of the work of the annual eofr
fere nee Is done by asking and answer
Ing certain questions given In the die
eipilne, The guth question Is one that
is often heard. This question Js, "Are
the preachers blameless in their life
and official admlnistratlon?', Each of
the nreachers must make his report
and his character must be passed: This
takes much time, and it is intersperse
ed with the ether business throughout
the whole conference session: This
morning the reports ef the presiding
elders were heard, The reports shew a
rather remarkable awakening en the
suhieet ef missions, There is a great
deal ef ehnreh and parsonage building
and" repairing being dene, in eenneet-
in with this there seems to be form
the reports a considerable increase In
the number ef additiefis f members en
nrofession of faith,
Dr, Rowe and others spoke ef a
growing desire among people to hear
prpachtng, and emphasised the impor
tance of preachers preaching, The re
norta as a whole are the best beard in
years in some respects the best ever
heard. A spirit of greater noperuiness
pervades the church, than has been the
case for several years.

started for their places of business,
Ihey were without the usual transnops
tatlon facilities, Notwithstanding state
uinnts py nrnciais or the company thut
no attempt would he made to run cars
today, encept for postal service, a few
iMHBenger cars started early by various ,
lues, The result was trouble almost
hiBtantly, The first car started was n
mail car, leaving the barns at thirty
ninth Btreet, and Cottage Grove Ave- '
nue. It was not harmed during Its en
tire trip. Following the trip of mall
car efforts were made by tho street
car company, to move passenger cars
with non-union crews. Four trains
were started on Cottage Grove Avenue
Cable Line, bound toward the business
district. At Fortieth street obstructions
upon the rails blocked the trains. A
crowd of strikers had assembled and
fchouts and jeers greeted the train
crews. A shower of stones followed and -the
car windows .- were ' demolished.
One- man, a non-union conductor, is
eald to have been, Injured in the first'
clash. Mail cars following the first pas
senger train, were also derailed near
the scene of the blockade; Besides the
police detailed for service at several
barns, as many more were quickly
made available to respond to emergen
cy calls. Many instances of . cars ob -structed
by obstacles placed on track
have occurred during th eday.
The strike was ordered at an early
morning mass-meeting of conductors,
motor-men, and grip-men, which acted
with only four dissenting votes. The
strike is to enforce the demand for a
wage increases of 25 per cent, and rec
ognition of the Union. About 3,000 em
pieyes are involved and 220 miles of
surface trackage, part cable, and part
electric.
Just Like St. Louis.
The railroad company refused the
services of a union crew for the mail
car sent out on 63rd street. The union
crew reported for work and were told
by the barn-boss that they were not
needed, the car was manned by a non
union crew and the strikers said the
company bad played one of its stron
eest cards, for Federal Interference.
The mayor's attitude is shewn by a
proclamation adjuring an curiosity
seekers to keen off the streets, and
warning against crowds. The worst
discord -of tne eany noui s was at ciari

Wentwortlt Avenue trains followed hy
mall cars were blockaded. On the near
