Any member or group of members
of either house of j the logishitiir '
having a notion, if any, of the out
iimic of the situation in which tip
house left itself on Saturday after
noon, art keeping it to themselves.
The objection of the house t. th.
conference report on the land com
mission section was so decisive thai
there is not the slightest probability
that it will be withdrawn. There is
hardly less probability that the sen
ate will recede from its position on
ihat section and it will naturally as
sume that that position has been
strengthened by the agreement in
ont". rence. Kven if the house should
accept all of tli other conference
a?recnKnts this difference is enoug't
to tic up the situation.
If the house stands by its vote of
Saturday evening, there will be two
things it may do. One will be to
ask for a new conference of differ
ent managers or it may ask for a
renewal of the conference, with in
structions to its own managers. Of
course, if those instructions should
represent the present views of the
bouse the failure of the appropria
tion bill would take place in con
fer. ne rather than in either of the
houses.
Theie is a good deal of speculation
among the members as to the time
and the trims of the call for a I
second extra session. It was reported j
on Saturday that the call would be
issued on Tuesday and that it. would
include a recommendation for legis
lation on the suhjept of prohibition.
Whether or not that is the case, it
was stated by a man who ought to
know that the governor had decided
upon no time for issuing the call and
that h- could make no decision until
after the adjournment of the present
session. But it is understood that
he call when issued will provide
for a session to begin immediately
lifter this one.

Forms and Procedure
Special to The Republican.)
LONDON". .May 23. After a long in
terval the Archbishop of Cantbury has
issued his judgment on the Kikuyu
controversy. The questions at issue,
the 'archbishop recalls in his opening
paragraphs, were referred to the cen
tral consultative body of the I.ambeth
confer-nce for their advice. The con
sultative body met at Lambeth in the
week ending August 1. 1S14. The out
break of the war followed, and this
fact, the archbishop points out, made
it impracticable for him to prepare hk
statement as early as he would other
wise have done. Indeed, he says that
it was urged upon him in quarters en
titled to respect "that I should be jus
tified weie I now to leave the subject
in the limbo where into it has in the
march of larger events been pushed,
and to hold my peace." This course
the archbishop felt that fairness to the
three bishops and the consultative body
made it imrossible for him to follow.
The archbishop quote the replv
j which he made to the Bishop of Zanzi
bar in February. 1914, in which he de
clined to take proceedings against file
bishops of I'ganda and Mombasa for
heresy and schism. He announced then
that he proposed to ask the advice of
the consultative body as to whether
the provision of the "Projiosed scheme
of Federation of Missionary Societies'
embodied in the resolutions of the
Kikuyu conference contravene any
principles of church order, the observ
ance of which w.-is obligatory uon the
bishops, the clergy and the layworkers
of the church of England at home and
abroad.
The second main question submitted
Jo the consultative body dealt specifi
cally with the celebration of the Holy
Oonuii union held at the close of the
Kikuyu conference, at which many of
those who communicated were not
members of the church of Kngland, and
had not been cpiscopally confirmed.
The arc hbirshop wrote: "I desire to ask
whether due consideration being given
to precedent and to all the circum
stances of the case, the action of the
bishops who arranged and conducted
the admittedly abnormal service in
question was. in the opinion of the
consultative body, consistent or incon
sistent with principles accepted by the
church of Kngland."

Edward Fletcher of San Diego, sec

told what the building of the bridge
meant to San Diego. The greetings
of the Automobil. Club of Southern
California were voiced by the secre

both states on the completion of the'
structure. Phil D. Swing, former
county attorney of imperial county
voiced the congratulations of the
people of that section, and said that
the bridge would result in closer
relations between the people of the
two states. George .Michelson of
Yuma presided nt the meeting.
A concert by the Yuma Indian

associated press dispatch
VETROGRAD, Kay 23. One result
of the war, in the opinion of econ-
omists and manufacturers here, will
be to emphasize the value of Russia's
native cotton crop to her cotton
manufacturing industries, and there
will certainly be renewed efforts on
the part of the government to en
courage the extension of the crop.
The government already has plans
in hand for extensive developments
in this direction both in Russian
Turkestan and in Trans-Caucasia,
these being the two principal cottou
growing districts.
In Turkestan, cotton growing is
possible only under irrigation, which
is supplied by a number of rivers
flowing from the mountains into tin
plains. Irrigation is snid to have
been introduced here by the Chinese,
in the first century of the Christian
era, and some of the old works are
still in existence. The government's
plans for further developments in
this region include extensive engin
eering works, which would nearly
double the area at present available
for cotton cultivation.
The area at present under cotton
in Russia is estimated at 1.23O.O00
acres. The average yield is very
high, lieing given by one authonty

ner acre, as nereinst 00 tiouuds in
America and 100 nounds in India.
The best districts are said to yieia
an average of about 450 pounds.
The development of cotton growin?
has been fostered by the high import
duty of nearly six cents a pound
imposed upon imported cotton. The
j Russian cotton-growing districts are
! the most northfily cotton growing
j proas in the world, being five degrees

ton growing in the I'nited States.

The increase in the Russian crop
is the most important contribution
t,o the world supply that has been
made by any country in the world,
with the possible exception of China,
during the present century. In the
further development of new cotton
areas, there are two chief considera
tions, labor and transportation. The
labor supply is already short and
the deficiency must presumably be
supplied by encouraging immigration
from other thickly populated purts
