SPEAKER ENDS SESSION Refusal of Balfour to Answer Liberal Attack Provokes Uproar Which Lasts an Hour--Effort for Fiscal Debate Fails. LONDON. May 21 The sitting of the House of Commons tonight was marked by scenes of the wildest disorder, growing out of a motion by Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman to adjourn the House in order that he might discuss the charge against Premier Balfour of having violated his pledge not to deal with the subject of colonial preference without first appealing to the country. Alfred Lyttlcton, Secre tary of State for the Colonics, was put up to reply to the Liberal leader, but the members of the opposition shouted down his every attempt to speak, even after the Premier had demanded a hearing for him. Finally, the Speaker, after he had exhausted every effort to quell the turbu lence, put Into force for the first time a new rule empowering him to adjourn the House In cases of grave disorder. The matter came up at the afternoon sitting, when Mr. Balfour, replying to questions on the subject, said he did not consider himself pledged to inaction in re' gard to colonial preference except so far as parliamentary action was concerned. He reiterated that the government did not intend to deal with the fiscal question in -the present Parliament The matter of colonial preference might, however, be submitted to a colonial conference In IPOS, even though the country had not previous ly had an opportunity of expressing an opinion on the subject. The decision of the conference, however, would not be binding cithdr on the mother country or on the colonies without legislative action. Uproar Drowns Speeches. Sir Henry Campbcll-Bannerman, the Liberal leader, charged Mr. Balfour with violating the pledge he had made In his Edinburgh speech and moved the adjourn ment of the House to discuss the matter. The debate on this motion came up at the night session, and was marked by scenes of the wildest disorder. The Lib eral leader demanded a plain answer from Mr. Balfour, and Alfred Lyttleton, Secre tary for the Colonies, rose to reply. The members of the opposition drowned the efforts of the Secretary with cries of "Balfour! Balfour!" After continuing for ten minutes, Mr. Lyttleton sat down. Winston Churchill then attempted to speak, but the ministerialists drowned his efforts. After a number of members had failed to secure a hearing, the Premier rose to a point of order and a temporary lull fol lowed. Mr. Balfour said he thought it highly improper that he should be imme diately expected to follow the leader of the opposition. He said he had never be fore known the opposition to refuse to hear a Minister, and he insisted that the House should hear Mr. Lyttleton. as oth erwise the dignity of the House could not be maintained. Speaker Adjourns House. Mr. Lyttleton again made all attempt to speak, but the uproar was renewed. Finally the Speaker said it was obvious that the scene could not continue, and he attempted, therefore, to adjourn the House under the rules empowering the Speaker to take such action in cases of grave disorder. The Speaker had been unable to secure even a semblance of order, howls and counter howls lasting for more than an hour. The scenes In the House created a tre mendous sensation in the lobbies, which were crowded with members discussing every phase of the evdhlng's occurrences, which were declared to be unprecedented. The galleries were filled with peers and other distinguishd persons, who gathered in the hope of hearing an interesting de bate on the fiscal question. They took part in the cries for their favorites, thus adding to the din, and afterward joined the excited crowds in the lobbies. Tonight's unprecedented and undignified scenes grew to some extent out of the Balfour-Chajnberlaln controversy with the addition of heat engendered on the oppo sition side by the Premier's alleged breach of his pledge not to deal with the subject of colonial preference without first appeal ing to the country. The members gener ally were in feverish expectation that the debate -would Indirectly draw out the terms of Mr. Balfour's answer to Mr. Chamberlain's compromise proposals. It was also anticipated that Mr. Chamber lain himself would make an Important speech on the fiscal question. Attempt to Stifle Debate. T,hus. when Mr. Lyttleton was put up to speak Instead of Mr. Balfour, a storm burst such as has not been seen Jn the House of Commons since the days of the Gladstonlan Irish debate. The opposition interpreted the government's course as an attempt to stifle discussion, although mod crate members admit that Mr. Balfour's attitude was perfectly correct. The Pre-, mler himself, in appealing to the House to permit Mr. Lyttleton to speak, maintained that he (the Premier), was "a prisoner In the dock," and ought not to be put on his defense until he had heard the accusa tions against him. Except when Sir Hen ry Campbell-Bannerman taunted him with being the sole cause of the disorder and Mr. Balfour flashed rather an angry reply the Premier was most composed through out the sitting. Mr. Lyttlcton also showed the greatest self-possession in his difficult position. Standing at the treasury table, flushed, but immobile, times out of number he es sayed to 6peak, always beginning "the Prime Minister," and always being shout ed down with. cries of "Balfour! Balfour! Let htm defend his own honor; let hlia fight Me own battles," etc Irish Join in Hubbub. Whenever the storm showed signs of subsiding, the Irish Kcsberc 'Ma la, helping the bubbub, until fi sally the Dep uty Speaker, for the first time, put In force one of the new rules adopted by the present Parliament, era powering the Speaker in cases of grave disorder to ad journ the House. The Liberal leaders afterward heia a conference, and it is expected that a vote of censure on Mr.' Balfour will be moved tomorrow by Sir Henry Campbell-Banner- COLONIAL- CONFERENCE IX 1906 Agreement Between Chamberlain na Balfour to Delay Election. LOXDOX, May 23. It is understood that a colonial conference wiU roeetln London early in 1906, as an outcome of the agreement arrived at by the last conference that periodical meetings of colcnial Premiers should be held in London for the purpose of discussing Imperial matters. The Liberal papers this morning in terpret Premier Balfour's remarks on the subject in the House-of Commons as showing that some sort of compact hap been arrived at between him and Joseph Chamberlain to defer the disso lution of Parliament until next year. Mr. Chamberlain himself dined with his supporters last night. He remalneJ In the precincts of the Commons, but did not enter the House during the scene. SHUT OUT OF COASTING TRADE British Lords Discuss New Law for Philippine Shipping. LOXDOX, May 22. The action of the United States In excluding foreign vessels from the coasting trade in the Philippines after July 1, 1S06. was discussed in the House of Lords today. Lord Muskerry (Conservative) asked for further informa tion regarding the negotiations between Great Britain and the United States, Ger many and Spain as a result of the ex clusion of British shipping from the Philippines. Marshall and Canary Islands, and also whether Great Britain reserved the water frontage of the British conces sion at Hankau, China, for British ships. Foreign Secretary Lansdowne. in reply, said he agreed with Lord Muskerry that it was unfair, while the coasting trade of Great Britain and her dependencies was open to all coasting vessels that some countries were closed to British ships, but so long as the powers should not be infringing treaty rights Great Britain had no right to complain. The suggestion that Great Britain should reserve her coasting trade for British ships. Lord Lansdowne considered no remedy, as the United States and Russia, which most completely excluded foreign ships from their coast ing trade, took the Smallest part in the British coasting trade. Tho government saw no prospect of In ducing the United States to alter the ar rangement. 'Lord Lansdowne exnlalncd that the United States considered that under the most-favorcd-natlon clause they had the right to make special ar rangements entitling any power to ex ceptional privileges such as Spain had In the Philippines. In regard to Hankau. Lord Lansdowne said instructions had been given to afford British ships the 'preference In wharfage at Hankau. As to placing foreign vessels under restrictions on the British coast, the House of Commons committee ap pointed in 1904. would be reappointed, and he. the Foreign Secretary, hoped the members of the committee would make practical suggestions.

The accident to the German Empress Augusta Victoria, who fell downstairs yesterday, while rath er more serious than at first reported, will not have any serious consequences. The cut on her forehead probably will leave a slight scar. The Empress suffers from occasional attacks of vertigo, and to jthls is attributed her loss of balance on the stair. It is announced that the Empress will not leave "Wiesbaden for Berlin until Thursday, from which it is supposed that she suffered more from her fall than the physicians bulletin conveyed. Another unofficial version of the accident says the Empress also sprained her right ankle. Mistake Causes False Alarm. PARIS, May 22. M.

WINONA LAKE. Ind.. May 22,-Amld a storm of applause, without debate and without a dissenting voice, the General Assembly or the Presbyterian Church to day voted 10 reunite with the Cumber land Presbyterian Church, which seceded from the general body February 1, 1S10, thereby bringing together the two largest branches of the Presbyterian faith. By the adoption in its- entirety of the report of the special canvassing commit tee, the assembly ordered that the qucs tlon as It now stands be referred to the committee on co-operation, the member ship of which was Increased to 21, with the provision that It has power to con fer with a committee from the Cumber land body to the end that details of the consolidation may be worked out In report to the next General Assembly. Tho committee will consider the corpor ate and legal rights of both bodies, keep ing the consolidation within the legal limits, thereby avoiding civil suits or in junctions. The special committee in its report on the question of, consolidation canvassed the vote by presbyteries. showing HI yeas and S3 nays. Two presbyteries took no action, one gave conditional assent and five made no report. Dissenters Hope for Defeat. The dissenters from the East and South, who apparently made no concerted effort outside of secret committee meetings to defeat consolidation tonight declare that the General Assembly opened the avenue to defeat by referring to a committee the work of arranging the details of consoli dation. It is Intimated that the opposi tion will take the question back to the presbyteries of the Cumberland Church and ask that it be reconsidered before the committee on co-operation tnakes Its report in 1906. Several of the Eastern dissenters declare that the action of the General Assembly was perfectly In ac cord with the wishes of the opposition. The proposed union wjth the Reformed Church the general synod discussed, but no action was taken pending action by that body, which is in session at New York. Remarriage of the Divorced. The resolutions Incorporated In the- re" port of the committee on marriage and divorce which, among other things, pro hibit tho remarriage of an innocent party to a divorce, until after one year has elapsed, were adopted. The negro, his racial rights and alleged criminality were subjects of dlscu.slon by several speakers following the report of the board of missions for frcedmen. Jus tice John M. Harlan concluded a brief talk with the words: "Let us find nowhere In the reports or deliberations of the General Assembly anything of the criminality of the negro." The resolutions were adopted without reference to the criminality of the col ored race. The general evangelistic committee or ganized today by electing John H. Con verse, Philadelphia, president; Dr. J. Wil bur Chapman, Xcw York, recording sec retary, and Parley Zartman, treasurer. Headquarters will be opened In Xew York. October 1.

It Is the general understanding that this celebration will be held in Philadelphia. The proposition to allow presbyteries In the boundaries of other presbyteries was adopted with but one dissenting voice. This is to allow separate presbyteries for negroes and foreigners. Rev. M. M. Smith, Bowling Green, Ky., and Hon. J. J. McClelland, West Point, Miss., spoke against union, contending that it is unconstitutional. Rev. T. A. WIgglnton. Evansvllle, Ind., and Judge E. E. Beard, Lebanon, Tenn., showed that the constitution made express pro vision for not only amendment, but com plete change of confession of faith, and that all steps taken had been In accord wfth the church constitution. Said the last speaker: "Let us follow the example of Jefferson, who said: 'I embrace the opportunity. The call to unity is the call of God."

On a motion to substitute the minority for the majority report. Dr. Templeton. of Texas, opened the discussion. He was followed by other speakers, the debate lasting until a late hour. It is expected to continue through most of the dayto morrow.

A telegram of greeting was received from the Southern Presbyterian Assem bly. In session at Fort Worth, a response was made and greetings were sent to the" Northern Assembly. A memorial was presented from 'a Ten nessee presbytery, asking that no action be taken on union.

WARM DEBATE OX AT FRESNO Opponents of Union In Cumberland Church Fighting to Finish. FRESXO. Cal., May 22. The Cumber land Presbyterian General Assembly Is In the midst of a warm debate on the union question. Two reports wero presented to It this afternoon. A majority report, signed by Drs. Templeton and WIgglnton and Judge Beard, gave a complete list of the presbyteries which had voted and declared that the union had been consti tutionally agreed to by the Cumberland Presbyterian dhurch and the basis adopt ed. Elders McClelland and Young submitted a minority report. This agreed with the majority with reference to the facts of the vote, except one presbytery. but claimed that the church has no consti tutional right to unite with another church, and that, therefore, the union has not been constitutionally agreed to. It further affirms that the Presbyterian Church "has not coeiplled with the terms of agreement with reference to separate presbyteries. At this point an, official telegram was received announcing that the Northern ABATE EVILS OF MORMOXISM Baptist Convention Appeals to Con gressBaptist Creed in Brief. ' ST. LOUIS. JMay 22.
