We were delighted with the fine services last Sunday. The sunrise prayer service was intcresting. help­ful and spiritual. A nice offering was made for the aged in our homes.

The morning worship strength­ened our appreciation and vaUie of the open tomb of our Lord, and brightened our hope for eternal life. The G. E. conducted the mu­sic in a helpful way for the even­ing service, which was attended by a large crowd.

Washington.—The immigration bill of 1024, carrying substantially the same provisions relating to Asiatic exclusion and other important changes in basic policy recently approved by the house, was passed Friday by the senate by a vote of 62 to 6.

On the final roll call, as upon every important test vote taken since the measure was first reported, the sen­ate registered its decision by a larger majority even than ia the house, where the vote on passage was 322 to 71.

The six senators opposing the bill in its amended form on the last roll call were: Chairman Colt of Rhode Island and Weller of Maryland, republicans, and Bayard of Delaware, Gerry of Rhode Island, King of Utah and Walsh of Massachusetts, democrats.

Washington.—A specific disclaimer of any intent to convey "a veiled threat" in the use of the phrase "grave consequences" in his recent communi­cation to Secretary Hughes protesting against the Japanese exclusion feature of the immigration bill, is made by Ambassador Hanihara in a second let­ter to the secretary, made public Sat­urday, and characterized by Mr. Hughes as a "frank and friendly expla­nation."

The ambassador's letter and a reply by the secretary were made public by the. state department, Mr. Hughes' let­ter saying that in the light of the con­text of the original letter and prevail­ing friendship and understanding be- j tween the two countries, he had no j doubt that these words ("grave conse- ! quences") were to be "taken in thu same sense you have 3tated, and I was quite sure that it was far from your thought to express or imply any threat."

Washington. — J a panese exclusion was written into the immigration bill Tuesday by the senate over the pro­test of both Secretary Hughes and the Japanese ambassador. There was neither a roll call nor debate on the exclusion amendment, action on which came unexpectedly late in the da/. Only a few more than a score of sen­ators were present.

Adoption of the amendment, which is almost identical with that approved last week by the house, was# nothing more than a formality, as senate ap­proval was made certain Monday with the refusal of that body to sanction by law the "gentlemen's agreement*' with Japan on the immigration ques­tion.

Washington.—Possible development of an "Asiatic colony" of a million persons in Northern Mexico as a result of ratification of the Colorado River compact was pictured Friday to the-house irrigation committee by George H. Maxwell, execuutive director of the national reclamation service.
