The college has had its grant decrcased by the board and is at the present time receiving but thirty-five per cent. of the givings of the Montreal conference. This is not considered sufficient to carry on the work. The request of the general board for the educational contribution this year of $17,000 from this conference was considered large and, as -last year, the conference had contributed about half this sum. But in view of the present need of the Wesleyan Col- lege, the conference pledged itself to give above the $7,000 given to tha general fund last year, an equal sum to go direct to Wesleyan College, the money to go through the confer- ence educational treasurer.

Senate--Reflec- tion of Sentiment. | i of Effect Will Be to Increase o . . Trade With Latin America . . And Within Empire. Washington, June 6.__Progress of the discussion of the tariff bill is {serving to bring out more and more {clearly the fact that there is strong {Senate opposition to building up an {unduly high tariff wall between the United States and Canada. This | Senate opposition unquestionably re- | fects a powerful public sentiment of {the same nature. | Those who object to building high {the tariff wall between this country {and the Donilnion are Democrats, 1and some of the more moderate Re- publican protectionists. For that matter, they declare danger exists in the high rates generally carried in the pending hill. They perceive the danger of a iarge curtailment of trade between this nation and Canada, and of clos- er trade relations between Canadas &nd Latin America, at the expense of the United States. Moreover, al- though there has been surprisingly little attention given it here, they perceive that high tariffs by this country against Canada will drive Canada into closer preferential trada relationship with the United King- dom, and the rest of the British Em- pire to the detriment of United States trade. } The high tariff Republican leaders in the Senate, it is true, are paying iittle heed to expostulation against high rates. They are bent on driv- ing the tariff bi through substan- tially as it came from the finance committee, Nevertheless, the im- portance of the protests now being made cannot be overlooked. The feeling is growing stronger {here all the time that the operation of the proposed new tariff law will have a profoand reaction and that the new law will be short-lived. | | | NEWS OFF THE WIRES IN CONDENSED FORM Tidings From Places Far and Near Are Briefly Recounted.
