Mr. Hepburn (Republican) of Iowa, said the section should be stricken out. The promotion provided was illogical and it was in effect an effort to modify the pay of officers in the retired list. If that were done, he said, it .should be done directly and not by indirection. The section was stricken out. Mr. McDermott' (Democrat) of New Jersey, offeied a new section directing the president, Dec. r.Hlft, to reduce the enlisted force of the arm' to whhh number should not thereafter be exceeded When the eon teen provision was reached Mr. Littlefield (Republican) of -Maine, ottered the following as a sub stitute: "The sale, or dealing in beer, wine or any intoxicating liquors by any per son in any fort, or camp. or a.raiy trans port or upon any premises used for mil itary purposes bv the United States. i: hereby prohibited. The Secretary of War is hereby directed to carry the pro visions of this section into full force and effect." Mr. Littlefield briefly recited the ef forts made to accomplish the prohibition f the sale of liquors in army posts. The present law had been passed to se cure th'.s. but it had failed. Much cnt K-ism had been made of the attorney general for his ruling on the question but it was due that official to say that he was not justly subject to it. The substitute was opposed by Mr Fitzgerald (Democrat) of Massachusetts, who .pleaded that the House acts upon the question honestly and not as hypo crites.

A choir of COO men and that "We meet at U:30, not at 0:45.'-j girls chanted Psalm 72, verses 6, 7, and This remark was made just alter his j 11. practical suggestion to the speakers that they should talk k,ud enough for evtry one to hear. Brilliant weather greeted the members again today and makes all th.3 people cheerful. Bishop Morrison makes a fine presence in the chair his gray hair and great physique, and tlun with that pow erful voice he whispers like other men talk. His shining silk hat in the street is an admonition to les tidy men. last night Centenary church was tri ed to over flowing with a great audience, HJ people or more, and they stood far out in the vestibule to hear lie v. W. F. Tillett, Dean of the Theological Depart ment of Vanderbilt University, lie took his text from Isaiah 13-12: . '"I w ill make a man more precijus than fine guid; even a man than' the weJ-gse cf Unhir." From this he tcok "money ai.d manhood" as his theme and deiiverd an eloquent sermon. He said that "moral character was the best collateral The former president and his suite then repaired to the royal waiting room, where the burgomaster warmly wel comed them in a briei speech. Then fol lowed Dr. Spink, president of the local South African Association, in. a long welcoming address, assuring Mr. Kruger of the deep sympathy of the entire Dutch nation, "who had," he said, "so greatly, though vainly, ' noped that the great powers Who had recently assem bled at the peace conference would not have, permitted that in South Africa the right of nations, the right of war and civil law should be trampled under foot and a little nation to be sacrificed in an unequal combat in defense of its ex-" istence." The address, after a long eulogy of the heroism of the Boers, proceeued to liken Mr. Kruger to William, th Silent, who sacrificed everything for the welfare of his people, and concluded: "May your reliance on the Almighty, similar to that of the Prince of Orange, support you, Mr. President, in the aS in this world," and to "keep money tiie j dnous fight for right and liberty, and slave of man and not let him became the slave of money." When the great audience arose and sang the Ia:ni-i.;r hymns their voices almost di owned out the notes of the big pipe organ in the gallery. The reports of the presiding elders, J. T. Gibbs, E. A. Yates, B. It. Hall, W. II. Moore. Ii. F. Bumpass Wr.S. lione, F. A. Bishop. J. K. Underwood an! P. A. Willis, show that the work of the church in this conference is iu an encouraging condition both spiritually and financially. After the minutes were read com munications were received from the Sun day School editor from LouiS'burg Fe male College-, the1 Boaixl cf Education and the Kp worth League secretary and were referred to committees. Und-er question 18, "Who are super annuated?" The nanve T. J. (Jattis wasj called and his presiding vldtr, J. T. Gibbs, made this statt-nunt. "There i-s nothing against Brother Gattis exept the complication involved in his law-. suit against Dr. Kilgo and others, whw-Ji suit is still pending in the courts, ui li this explanation and in accordance wdih the action of this tonferente one year ago, 1 suggest that his character pa9 for the -present.

After some other business the 20th question was resumed and the characters of pieachei"s in Iialeigh, Durham, Fayetteville, Rockingham, Wilmington and New Bern dis wets were passed and reports submitted. When the name of J. C. Kilgo "was called he arose and addressed the- con ference. After a few remarks In which he said that he would not stand up in this meeting if he had one iota of malice in his heart towards any man, Dr. K-'igo turned to Bishop Morrison aiid said: may 1 speak to the conferenre with reference to the trial through which I have passod recently r" Bishop Morri on ans-wered that the conference would be glad to hear him. He then continued and in his remarks referred to the now famous case in part as follows: "I have tried, to do my best in the work I have been called to do in your State. I have tried to be a brave man. I do not look back, nor do I ask God to et me see into the future. The place you have put me is always in the front of the firing line. I am trying to do my. duty where you have put me. I have tried to be true to my boys, and any man who can noia tne eonnuence and love of two hundred boys under the ordeal through which I have re cently passed has reason to be thankful. The other night when I reached home Mid two hundred boys met me at the lepot and every boy assured me of his onfadence in me, I felt that my work had not been in vain. "I do not ask to stay at TrinityvCoI ege. I did not ask you to put me there. ind I do not ask to stay. One thfiiff I do ask is that I may have a place in my church and the confidence of mv n-ethren. My brethren, you have stood iy me; you almost broke my heart yes terday with your expression of . love. I thank you for it; it is a resurrection of power to me. I bring to you the ex- iression of appreciation of mv com panions, Brothers Odell and Duke,- for : your action in our case, and l pray you may the liberty or your nation crown your courage. Then will Great Britain have learned the lesson of how danger ous it is to attempt to throttle the inde pendence of a free nation." Mr. Kruger, his suite and the recep tion committee proceeded in open carri ages to the hotel Leslndes, whien was resplendent with flags and bunting. There a bevy of ladies, headed by the Baroness Van Hariaxma, greeted the Boer statesmen and a choir sang a hymn. Mr. Kruger then mounted the stair case, preceded by three girls strewing blossoms. On his arrival in the. recep tion room the Baroness presented Mr. Kruger' "with" a bouquet. : The first chamber has authorized its president to welcome Mr. Kruger in behalf of the house as proof of its sym pathy. REBUFFED ON ALL SIDES Krnser'i mission to Europe Results In Nothing but Failure Cologne, Deci G. Mr. Kruger started for The Hague in. a special train at 10 o'clock this morning. Mr. Kruger's action in going to The Hague is the last step in nis effort to seek peace in Europe. iSince his arrival at Marseilles a short time ago the ex president has met with nothing but re buffs on . all sides. They would have disheartened an ordinary man, but they have not caused the veteran Boer to give up hope. The Kaiser's action, it is said, did bring tears to his eyes, but he has never yet given out that he has given up hope of finding a way for hon orable peace in Africa. Mr. Kruger's entry into Europe was auspicious. Thousands gathered at Mar seilles and he was cheered by multi tudes in the city. His journey to Paris was also in the nature of a triumphant march, and upon his arrival in the French capital" he was the lion of the hour. Countless thousands cheered him and struggled among themselves to catch a glimpse of him. - Catchifrg the infection of popular enthusiasm from the multi tude, the French chamber of deputies then passed a resolution of sympathy for the Boers. This cheered the old man, and later, when the Senate passed a similar resolution, he again became hopeful. However, there was .nothing substantial in the resolutions and the French government took no further ac tion. . Disheartened, the old man then left the French capital and started for Cologne. The next rebuff, and the most serious one, came a few days ago, when the "emperor of 'Germany, he from whom "Ki'ugQr had cause to expect so much, turned a deaf ear to his appeals and re fused to receive him. This was a hard blow for the ex-president of the strug gling South 'African republic, and he felt it keenly. From Germany he had hoped for more than from any otner power in continental Europe. The blow, when it came, was therefore doubly hard, and, according to reports, Krugei wept in the privacy of .his room when he received the new of the Kaiser s re buff. Following auidily upon the news ff mav never have to suffer what I have the emperor's action came word that the i.on nn enfTo " I emperor of Austria was opposed to re- niirtnff thP nroCTesR of th nrM ! ceiving ivruger ana men, in rapiu suc- good deal of feeling was shown by -the audience, and the event led to a good deal of discussion in the streets and the homes.

Treasury offi cials are distinctly at variance with the leading members ot the Senate Finance Committee in their policy .of a very large reduction iu the war revenue taxes. The want of sympathy with the prob able action of the Senate committee is emphasized now that the House Ways aud Means Committee ha-s decided to advocate changes in the war revenue law that will result in a $40,000,000 reduction in the annuail receipts of the governments. Secretary Gage has not changed his opinion expressed several weeks ago that the expected necessary expenditures of the government demand that at least four-fifths or two-thirds of the war rev enue axes should still be imposed. He began by advocating a. reduction of only 15,000,000 in the war taxes, and it s-eem'ed liLeiy that the leading members of the Ways and Means Commit iee would adopt this view.

The ground is taken by the"e senators that the work of reduction shoirld not be accomplished by piecemeal, but that the first reduction should be so large as to remove Ihe necessity of further revenue tinkering during7 the next thre. or four years.

Final settlement of the litigation instituted hy Thomas "F. Ryan against the Seaboard was believed to be one of the subjects under consideration. An other matter under discussion, it was rumored, was the effecting of closer re lations between the Seaboard Air Line and the Southern.

There is good reason to believe that there is no prospect of any consolida tion or combination ,of interests of the Seaboard and the Southern Railway sys tems.
