IN A TURMOIL Sensation in the National Council of Women. Resolution Touching Several Religious Points Rejected. Presenter Retires in Tears Delegates Freely Express Themselves. Toledo, O.. April 5.—The unanimous rejection of a resolution presented by Mrs. I. c. Manchester, delegate to the National Association of Loyal Women of American Liberty, protesting against the appropriation of money by Con gress tor the support of sectariau schools and the delegate retiring weep ing from the convention hall, was the sensation of today's session of the Na tional Council of Women. Following this, Mrs. Kate Brownlee Sherwood in an Impassioned defence of the Catholic church presented a resolu tion to prevent any report from being made public if it contained anything against any creed or political belief. This received unanimous approval of the council. “In the name of 100,000 Catholic women. I thank Mrs. Sherwood.” said Mrs. Elizabeth McGowan, president of the Ladies Catholic Benevolent Soci ety. “In the name of 50.000 women of the Mormon church, I thank Mrs. Sher wood,” said Mrs. Clarissa Williams of the National Women's Belief Society of the Mormon church. Mrs. Manchester retired to the next room and several of the national offi cers tried in vain to comfort her. The adoption of Mrs. Sherwood’s res olution prevented Mrs. Manchester's report being read before it is passed upon by the executive committee and she declared that unless she is allowed to road it in full she will withdraw her association from the council. It became known yesterday that Mrs. Manchester’s report contained charges against the Catholic church; that the threatened war of France against Ger many is revenge for tin- action of the French government toward the Vati can, and that the Pope- is using Emper or William as a catspaw and that the .Jesuits were responsible for eight of the wars that have involved so many nations in recent yearn The mptto of the National Council is the "Golden Rule" and in the discus sion this morning there was a unan imous defence of that policy. NEW ENGLAND METHODISTS Continue Their Conference at Malden —Some Interesting Business. Malden, Mass., April 3.—A devotional service opened the second day of the annual session of the New England Methodist Episcopal conference in this city. A feature of the day was expected to be the consideration in secret ses sion of serious charges which Rev. Geo. A. Cooke of Orange announced yesterday that he desired to prefer against Rev. Charles Parkhurst. editor of Zion's Herald and Presiding Elders Rev. Or. William G. Richardson of the Springfield district and Dr. Charles II. Rice of the Cambridge district. At the conclusion of the secret ses sion it was announced that the confer ence after listening to Mr. Cooke’s statements, had found Rev. Drs. Park huist. Richardson and Rice free from all of the charges brought by Mr. Cocke, the action being in each in stance practically unanimous. The charges were purely technical. That against Dr. Parkhurst related to tne conduct of his paper, while those against Drs. Richardson and Rice con cerned their refusal to act upon Mr. Cooke’s charges against Dr. Parkhurst. Mr. Cooke was the only speaker. Dr. Parkhurst not being present and Drs. Richardson and Rice preferring to have the case to the judgment of the conference. Another matter of importance acted upon at the secret session was the controversy between Typographical I'nions No. 6 of New York and 13 of Boston and the Methodist Book Con cern. It was decided to place this busi ness in the hands of a committee of nine to be appointed later by the con ference. Bishop David If. Moore pre sided at the session. CONDENSED DISPATCHES.

The Yannigans were in great glee over the lively game they gave the Collins team, and would have won in a canter but for the weak fielding of Harry Murcli at first base.

Joehua Robinson, known as "Josh” tli Bucksport baseball player and oracker iack pitcher recently signed by the New Bedford New England League ti*im. left Bucksport Wednesday for New Bedford to go 1n training for the season. “Josh” was born and brought up in Bucksport and has played ball ever since he can remember. He has always been a pitcher and being a left-hander -was sure to be picked first when the boys "chose up" before school. Josh plaved on the town teaans and as he grew older in baseball began to develop a puzzling delivery. He invented a "fun ny one” as his side partner acid catcher. "Dummy” Montgomery, called it. and it was religiously believed in Bucksport that when Josh sent in the “funny one no one could hit It-cxcept by downright accident. This hall was a sin w rise with a "break” or “float” delivered underhand and was a great bother. '‘Josh” was I discovered by Malachi Kittredfee, the vet eran leaguer now with the Washington team, who was spending thr winter at Bucksport. So in 1904. when Josh was but IS yeaas old, he went to Worcester and juni|«si into fast company with one leap, fu made good iwith Worcester and later we«nt to Norwich. During most of the season of 190.1 lie played with Norwich in the Connecticut League and finished third among thi league pitelinrs. Considering that he was but a ‘'kid and was up against some of the best batters and most seasoned players In the business, he did remarkably well. Josh is utterly "raUle-pr*>of” and no amount of yelling from the bleachers or by the coachers can phaze him in the least. He has all the various curves, shoots, drops and val iations known to the. game and some of ills own. He depends mostly on slow rises, drops and breaks-a delivery which may be liiU but not safely—although of course there are days when Josh t* ts bumped, as all pitchers do. Josli is getting to hi a big boy now. most a Mix-footer, and js in fine condition and in fine fettle. PRESQUE ISLE: LEAGUE. Spring Schedule from April 24 to June 7—Outside GLames. Presque Isle. Me..

CLINCHED OFTEN. Jock Smith Was Outpointed in Bout With Johnny Marto. There was plenty of action and no lack of good work in every one of the bouts at New York Wednesday night. Tlie star attraction was the wind-lip between Johnny Marto of Philadelphia and Jack Smith of New York. A god line had been had of the relative ability of tiie.se two in their recent bouts with Young Donohue of Roxbury. Mass., and Marto was thought by many to have jusi a “shade” on the local man. While both indulged in a good deal of clinch ing they fought fairly fast at times, and when either one landed tlie blow was a damaging one. Marto canto very near dropping Smith in tlie second round with a right-hand smash on the jaw. Smith came up strong in (lie third round and mixed up to good purpose with both hands. Marto was always on the alert, and took advantage of every opening to such an extent that he cleanly outpoint ed his opponent, IN QUICK ORDER. Ruhlin Knocks Pat O’Rourke Out in the First Rour.d. Ous Ruhlin. who is out for tlie cham pionship of the world, started what was to have been a three-round bout with Pat O'Rourke at the Consolidat ed A. Wednesday night at New York, but before the end of the first round O’Rourke was put to sleep through contact with one of Ous' for midable wallops. The round lasted about 1J seconds, when Ruhlin sud denly let his left amble over to O'Rourke’s jaw, and Pat went down for a rest. When he got up (Jus put over his right and Pat went down and stayed. Tile club officials tried to induce Jim Savage and one Butler to gallop through a round or so with (Jus. but tl.ese gentlemen couldn't see it that way at all. Chick Tucker defeated Young Dono hue ill the main bout at the special slag of the Metropolitan in Dion Palace. In the first round it looked as if Chick would put his man away before the third round was reached. He sailed into Donohue and split the lat ter’s ear with a terrific right hand punch. Chick then got in close and walloped Donohue in the ribs until the latter was forced to hold. The second round was a repetition of the first. Chick landed a hard right to tlie ear and Donohue began to bleed again. Some great infighting follow ed. Tucker having the better of all the exchanges. In the third round Donohue changed his ladies, and boxed cleverly. He fai't-d much better at Ibis style, and he kept clear of many of Tucker’s punches. Toward Ihe end of the round Tucker got inside of his opponent's guard, and at (lie bell both were in (he center of the ring lighting with all their might. Kddie K'dl.v and Kid Abel, both for mer sparring partners of Battling Nel son, met in the semi-final event, and after the first round the club officials stopped the bout because they feared hat Kelly would knock Abel out and hurt him. Abel appeared strong when he went to his corner at the end of the first round. MULLIGAN OUTCLASSED. Brooklyn Man Lasts Minute and a Half at San Frincisco. San Francisco.

Tom McDonough is willing if Martin will make 135 pounds, as Deshler is, a light weight. There has been some talk of a boxer from the West being brought on. DON’T LIKE BULL FIGHTS. Battling Nelson Considers Them More Brutal Than Prize Fighting. Lightweight Champion Battling Nel son en route from New York to Los Angeles to train for his tight early in May with Aurelio Herrara, stopped over at Kl Paso to see a regular Span ish hull tight which was pulled off at Juarez, Mexico, for the Hauler's edifi cation. While the contest was in progress the Dane apparently enjoyed the excite ment as much as the other enthusias tic spectators present. At the conclusion of the entertain ment Nelson and Billy Nolan, his man ager, repaired to a restaurant, where he was introduced to Mad Morito, the star matador. It was not long before the two were engaged in a warm con troversy concerning the comparative brutality of prize fighting and bull lighting. Nelson maintained that the slaught ering of animals with cold steel was far more brutal than the exchange of punches by two human beings pre pared for combat, and with equal chance of winning without killing each other. Morito declared that bull fighting was preferable to prize fighting, on the ground that there was less chance for faking and crooked work to bring the sport to disrepute. O'BRIEN AND BERGER MATCHED.

Forbes’ showing was a revelation. He went to the husky .Vow Yorker without a let-up in the first. Forbes' cleverness puzzled Hoev and he clinched often, but Forbes managed to connect, ripping the left to the stomach and the right to the wind. In the third Forbes dropped Hoey for four seconds and Hoey arose etoggy. Before Forbes could finish his man, the bout was over. Young Kvans lost to Charlie Cun ningham.

59th CONGRESS. (Continued from Page One.) 0f the H*use bill, said that he had been driven to the conclusion that orders of the Interstate commerce commission vvere ai ts of ConggpsH, hence he argued that the courts must treat the orders of the commission as acts of Congress. He said that the L/ing amendment neither enlarged nor abridged the jur isdiction of the circuit courts yet he ■was willing to make the, concessions. LKilliver also commented on the criticisms of the President, saying he did not consider that in these matters the President had shown a partisan spirit nor that he had departed from the customary method of the executive. He did not propose to be disparaged by any sneering allusion to the Presi dent because he considered it just as consistent to consult with the Presi dent on this subject as with the presi dents of the railroad companies, as The opponents of the bill were doing. He did not propose that the bill should be turned over to the tender mercies of its enemies and while he asserted that the bill had sufficient support to insure its passage to satisfactory form, he warned the opponent of the measure that the friends of rate leg islation had on their fighting clothes, adding that if effective legislation was not now secured the result was mere ly postponed. Instead of settling the question, he said, failure at this time would create the largest issue that Congress had ever had to deal with. In sharp language he opposed any stronger court review than that pro posed by the I^ong amendment, saying that the opponents of the bill would reduce the President's recommendation to a practical and legal absurdity. Bailey in oulllng his position in op position to the practice of conferring with the President,, said that the pres ent question presented peculiar rea-1 sens why the President should not in terfere with legislation. He then com mented on tie- fact that many Repub licans were not in accord with the President on the question of railroad legislation. lie expressed the opinion Unit not a third of the Republicans agreed with the Chief Executive. Aldrich arose and as he did so Bailey expressed the hope that lie would lie able to include himself as in the one-third. "So far as X know there Is no Repub lican member of the Senate who does not sympathize with the efforts of the President and with others to secure pioper railroad legislation,” said the senator, but he added that there were many who did not sympathize with the rtfort to limit and circumscribe the proposed law so an to effectively pre vent ati'.appeaj to the, courts.

The Senate has a right to know." .Foraker insisted. Xtolliver then said that he had never dreamed of committing any impropri ety hi his statement, because he did not see arty reason why senators should not confer on this subject with men alto are experts on the subject, indeed he considered it unfortunate that the >abroad officials were devoting their time and resources to an effort to In fluence public opinion against legisla tion instead of co-operating in fram ing a proper measure. He said the rail rt ads hid spent $2.(V)0.n00 in their ef forts to antagonize legislation. He did not believe that a senator’s right to con fer with the railroad men should be questioned; no more did he believe that senators who conferred with the Presi dent of the United States had been made the subject of ridicule. Foraker did not dissent front the Inst proposition. On the contrary he had al ways made a practice to freely confT with the Chief Executive. But on the other hand he had known of no confer ence with railroad men on the pending lull. He had had none, anil he did not be lieve that other senators who do not sup port tlie bill as it stands had had an>. "It will not answer to say that there war. no ‘improper motive in the insinua tion," he went on.

COG AN COMPANY AUGUSTA, MAINE his position with reference to th p nd ing legislation. "I desire,*’ he said with earnestness, “to enter a protest against the* assump tion that any senator here is i»n* only triend of railroad rate legislation. Xo one here has any pateri whieh would jus tify him in assuming to speak in that ca pacity. 1 know of no one here who is opposed to proper legislation and there can .he no proper classification of some as friends and of others as enemies.** He then referred to the pending legisla tion as of an economic character and said that the Senate was not.divided «n p:n\v lip** but that there were divisions on both sides of the chamber as to the de tail** of the proposed enactment. 'this was the end of the se rious part of the Controversy. Foraker replied in a conciliatory man ner to Dolliver s complaint relative to tin* character of the debate on Tuesday, say ing that he had not considered the dis cussion on that day as implying an un kind reflection upon the senators who had attended the White House conference, hue that for the most part it bail con sisted of good-natured railery, directed at the senator from Iowa, Allison. Ife expressed his regret at not being abb* to agree with the President concerning the details of the pending legislation and re iterated his high regards for him. “I consider him.’* he said, “one of the most Sincere, outspoken, fearless and ag gressive men that I have ever known, but that is not saying that’ll* niav nev«T be in error, as I believe that he is now." Foraker declared himself to bo in f' ll sympathy with the President *!?sh fh'rt’ piirposn. 1 iy the time that Allison arose the Sen* file was in a thorr/nghly good humor :uid his remarks, though brief, wa re of n har I acter to add materially to th»* good feel I 1ng.

Washington, April •>.—The post office appropriation !>iil following an im memorial custom was made the vehicle for a, number of speeches to day having no bearing on the subject matter under discussion but of gener al interest to the country. The rights of labor were discussed by Mr. Towne. X. V., good roads by Mr. Lee, Oa., railway mail pay. by Mr. Steenerson. Minn., and protective tar iff by Mr. Rainey. Ills.

He said that if the House ever hits its ancient dig nity and power restored it will lie af ter it Inis vindicated the right of dis cussion of all public questions. Ouring ttic late afternoon, Karl and Rady Grey were interested spectators in the reserved gallery and after the House adjourned, they, with Senator Xewlands. held an informal reception in the room of the Speaker.

Moon. Tenn.. the ranking minor ty n'em bor of the post office and post roads com mittee, in discussing the post office ap propriation bill insisted that if the appro priation for the railway mail service was to be cut down it ought to 1m- after com plete investigation. Passing from a disousss n of the railw ly mail service Moon said that tin re was too much discretionary power lodged in the post office department. He believed that1 Congress, the direct representatives of the people, ought to give th.-ir mandat on all questions affecting tin- welfare of the people and not delegab to a depart ment. Towne. N.

He ad dressed‘himself to the pi tition recently presented by labor leaders to tlie Presi dent and Congress asking favorable con sideration of the measures deemed of im portance to the men for whom they spoke.. Towne said: “The political party in power is. as an organization, the agent of the dominant J economic force of the age: these forces tend to capitalistic combination and con s«»Iillation; it mm strain* d and unregulat f*\ they threaten tin stability of tin* so cial order and workingmen of the country may justly feel an especial interest in curbing Hit* rapacity of these organiza tions' appetites which exist either by th* warrant of the permis*sion of tin' laws.

Addrssa ell communications relating to subscriptions and advertisements to BURLEIGH A FLYNT, Publishers. Augusta. Maine,_ Friday, April 6, 1906. Well, there la Governor Jeff Davis of Arkansas if the Democrats really want a presidential candidate from the South. He has just won a famous victory in his own state. A young woman, asserted by the truthful correspondent to be of excep tional comeliness, has been made tax collector of Laconia, N. H., and tax dodging will doubtless be less popular than formerly in that municipality. Those who think that modern graft Is worse than that of an earlier gener ation are referred to the case of that New York bank clerk who has j'tsf stolen $31,000. His father, when con nected with the same bank 25 years ago, stole $106,000. A Syrian dancer in New York has established a new record in successful gyrations having whirled 2900 whirls in 37 minutes without stopping. Some of the Democratic statesmen will have to lie looking to their laurels if this keeps up. At the rata of immigration thus far this year, last year's record-breaking total of 1,026,499 newcomers will be beaten, in spite of this great total of immigrants, however, it is worth re membering that the 427,000 immigrants in 1854, and the 788,000 of 1882 were more numerous in proportion to the popula tion of the country at these periods than this year's total can possibly be. Htlll nobody denies that we are welcom ing too many immigrants for our own good. The process of assimiliating .such great numbers is an extremely difficult one and involves many dangers, particularly when we consider the na ture of a large part of the immigration. Not the least important problem, and one which must lie met in the imme diate future, is that of the better dis tribution of new arrivals. Out in Missouri one of the chief topics of discussion in the newspapers and among the people is whether the state will remain in the Republican column where it swung in 1904. The opinions point mostly to an affirma tive answer. The aggregate congrt's sional vote in 11102 was 511.058, and in loot it was 641.249, again of 130.191. Of this the Democrats gained 34.232. while the Republicans gained 84,064. The immense Republican gain was made up of four classes: (1) The slay-at home voters, who have heretofore be lieved that victory was impossible and saw no use voting. (2) The great ag gregation of votes from those who were misled on the currency question. (3) The large immigration to the state 1 rom neighboring Republican states, and (I) The yrtung voters, who are generally aligning themselves with the Republican party, whose policies have brought unexampled prosperity to the country. A happy hit of friendship-cementing between (.real Itritaln and the United States is accomplished by the re turn to Philadelphia of an oil portrait of Benjamin Franklin which was carried away from that city by an officer of the British army during the Revolutionary war. That officer was (len. Charles Gray, the great grandfather of the present governor general of Canada, and for 130 years the stolen portrait has been hung in the Noithumberland castle of the fam ily. Now Karl Grey returns it to Phil adelphia w ith due apologies for the pur loining of it by his ancestor. Of course, tlds is a treasure of both artistic and historic interest which Philadelphia gladly Welcomes, but an unexplained thing aboijt the affair is why a British officer should carry away and treas ure the portrait of the man who was such a prominent factor in causing Great Britain to lose its American colo nies. The western papers venture to com ment that the so-called "better farm ing” special, of which we are now hear ing in New England for the tlrst time, is an old story in that section of the country, and that the East has been very slow to adopt this idea. Five years ago su^h trains were run through Iowa and accomplished much practical good. No do^iH the idea will be equally successkvtl hear in New England, as the |ing Hoston Maine railroad hold of the idea in good ear nest amp its "better farming" special which started out this week is to run northwarti through the whole length of New Hampshire and then southward through Vermont and Massachusetts. A little lat« a similar train will be run ent“rp# has take through mer.t ot rials. Th| to refer t olal, ,th trip doc t**r fatml semitmti can hard!] roostook under the manage ie University of Maine offl train they are careful no as the "better farming" spe of course. If it not result in bet methods and the ills [)f better farming ideas, ii i called a success. The Results at Algeciras. There- is so much that is not given out to the public when diplomats meet in such a conference as that which recent ly met In Algeciras that most newspa per readers are pretty much in a haze ts to v/hat was really accomplished there. For that matter, they are like ly to remain so, and yet it is so small ?on9c-lntion to be assured that war was averted, and that Uncle Sam’s sensi □le advice was an important factor in wringing about the final agreement. The ionferer.ee was called, as, of course, everybody knows, to settle the differ ences in opinion between France and Germany as to the management of af fairs in Morocco, and the outcome can be said in a general way to be favor able to France and unfavorable to Ger many. Evidently Germany made demands which it could not enforce and counted upon support which it failed to secure. Many feared that the result of the wrangle between Germany and France would again plunge them into war, as they were a third of a century ago, but probably there has, in fact, been small ianger of such an outcome. The con-’ :-onference was assembled mainly througn the instrumentality of Ger many, and so, although the outcome is rot what Germany hoped it would re, it must nevertheless ac ■ept the terms offered or declare the die party most directly concerned, had iltle to say at Algeciras, and must make the most of the terms imposed, rhe result of the conference, so the rublic is informed, assures the Sultan if Morocco that he will remain an in iepgndent sovereign, both in theory itul in fact, and that in their inter course with Morocco all other coun tries are to enjoy equal opportunities ind equal rights. The police power in •ase of trouble in Morocco, is left a little vague and so ttie loophole is left for another international wrangle in the future. The Passing of Jiu Jitsu. Probably no fad which has struck this country was so thoroughly adver tised and so generally overrated as that of jiu jitsu. There have been too many fads in recent years to keep track of or to enumerate. One day everybody would be taking an interest in a new fad and the next it would be forgotten. .Some of them have accom plished a measure of good, hut in the case of most of them the world is bet ter for their sudden departure than it was for their arrival. Jiu jitsu at one time loomed up big on the horizon. It Hared high toward the zenith and then fizzled out completely, and its glare now no longer illuminates our Ameri can civilization. Jiu Jitsu may continue to be popular with the little Japs, but they will have the monopoly of the art as far as this country is concerned. It has been giv en a trial and has been found wanting. Professor Yamashitka. who instructed President Roosevelt, lias given up in despair and sailed for his home in Jap an. Even with the prestige of sta ll a distinguished pupil as the President, tile professor was unable to obtain profitable engagements. The jiu jitsu publications which flooded the market at one time will be useful in case of a fuel famine, but not otherwise. The teaching of the art lias been given up at West Point and Annapolis, as little interest was shown. The wonders which we all thought jiu jitsu would accomplish for our policemen, our ath letes and for our unproteeted women abroad at night will never lie realized. The faddists will now turn to some thing new. Jiu jitsu may continue to flourish in the land of Togo and the chrysanthemum and the kimono, but it lias found America exceedingly uncon genial soil. If there is to be any reaction against the Republican party in this “oft’ year" tt is certainly not evident in this week's municipal elections in the mid dle West. The Republicans not only held their own but they made great gains. Milwaukee which has gone Democratic for the past eight years was carried by the Republicans by’ BOOH majority. Kansas City. Missouri, was swept by the Republicans who elected 24 of the 28 members of the two branches of the city council and elect ed their mayor by 1600 plurality. In Chicago a large majority’ of the now members of the city government are Republicans. Hartford. Conn., where a particularly lively campaign was waged was carried by the Republicans by over 2000. Prof. George Foot Moore of Har vard University has been awarded the M alter Chinning Cabot fellowship for three years. Prof. Moore was born in 'Vest Chester. Pa., in 1851. but most of his early life was passed in Ohio. He is the son of a clergyman and his mother was the daughter of a clergy man. France Has Powers’ Support. In her trouble with Venezuela.

I RHEUMATISM CURED. WAS HEREDITARY THROUGH THREE GENERATIONS. Disease Yielded Readily to Dr. Wil liams’ Pink Pills After Other Treatment Failed. Nothing better demonstrates that rheumatism is a disease or the blood than the fart that it is hereditary in certain tamilies. It may not develop until conditions* of cold and dampness favor it because nature is always lighting to keep the b.xly tn health. When disease does get the upper hand and rheumatism is seated In tlie blood, a remedy that will revitalize and re new the blood is the simplest and best means of relief. Such a remedy is Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. These pills supply the neces sary elements to the vitiated blood and enable nature to cast out the impuri ties and effect a cure. Mrs. A. Maker of No. 119 Fitch street, one of the many handsome resi dential streets of Syracuse, N. V., will furnish living evidence or the truth of these statements. "There has been rheumatism in my family ever since 1 can remember," she says. "My grand mother was a great sufferer from mus cular rheumatism and my mother also had the disease in a mild form. "Some years ago I was taken witli rheumatism in one knee and there was considerable swelling. 1 don't know how long that attack lasted hut it was some time. About a year ago 1 had a hard eoid and the rheumatism caught me in my left knee. There were sharp pains, confined to the neighborhood of tin* knee and they seemed to go right into the hone. The pain I suffered was hit* rise ar.d at times 1 had dizzy spells. I consulted a physician in whom my family had every confidence and took ins medicine faithfully hut it did me no g led at all that 1 could see. “Then 1 went to see another phy sician who had cured a ease ol rheuma tism to my own knowledge, but after he had treated me I couldn’t see that I was any better. “The doctors called my trouble liriatie and sciatic rheumatism. When I didn’t get better under their treat ment my brother-in-law suggested that I try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I had already stopped taking any other medi cine and. as I knew myself that the pills were good, I bought three boxes, ami, by the time I had taken them, the pain and dizziness had entirely left me. 1 wanted to make sure of a cure so I bought three more boxes, but I didn't take n receipt of price, art cents p-r box. six boxes for $..r»0. by tlie l)r.
