There is no foundation for current reports 1 that the subcommittee of the Senate financo committee is so divided on the subject of currency legislation that it has been unable to agree upon a bilL What ever views individual members may have as to the theories of finance, they are united on the practical plan of urging Congress to provide at once the remedies which they believe the country demands. These are as given heretofore. A majority of tho committee is now in favor of a provision requiring that before securities other than Government bonds are taken for public deposits at least 60 per cent of the collateral shall be Govern ment bonds. This is practically the wholo extent of the committee's present programme. Proposals for the so-called asset cur rency have been considered, but they have been rejected, becauue there has been no evidence of a popular time for such a currency. The members of the commit tee believe that if the banks feel free to issue their notes in time of urgent de mand, as they will feel if they know that they can retire these notes as fast as tho demand slackens, a degree of elasticity rfill ui imparted to the currency which will meet all demandsof the near future, especially If the banks are relieved of the drain to the subtreasuries, which is put upon their resources whenever custom house receipts are heavy. This, special drain naturally is most severe at the be ginning of the new season, at the very time of the year when, owing to tho de mands for currency from the South and West for crop-moving purposes, the banks are least able to bear it. What attitude Mr. Cannon will take on these proposals is not known here. They are substantially the same as those con tained in the Aldrich bill of last Winter,' which ho criticised. It Is by no means certain, however, that the Speaker of the House will oppose a definite plan of tho Administration leaders. The position of tho House committee on banking Is also in doubt, owing mainly to Mr. Flower's persistency in tho nght for the asset currency feature. It is not believed, however, that he will make this an insuperable obstacle this Fall, if it shall be shown that tho country is not ready for a measure so radical. As to tho time when tho extra session will bo called together, tho best-Informed opinion hero is that nothing has been de termined. Much probably depends upon the condition of tho money market dur ing tho coming fow weeks. None of the Administration advisers thinks that there is likely to be any urgent need of reme dial currency legislation this Fall. They all deprecato the idea of giving on Impres sion that Congress is being called in haste to meet a financial emergency. As a matter of fact, nothing of the sort ex ists, nor has there been at any time rea son to suppose that Wall street or any other part of the country would look to Congress for rellol this year. GORMAN FOR AL.DIUC1I BILL. Democratic Leader Forms a Com bination With It's Author. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Aug. 17. Reports have reached here from the West that Cannon declares he will not stand in the way of financial legislation, and will not undertake to in fluence the Houso one way or anothor. This does not mean, however, that finan cial legislation will pass, for a great dixil of opposition has developed to all of the bills that have been proposed. It is understood that Senator Gorman is per fectly willing to have the Aldrich bill rasscd. and he will use his influence as leaJer of the Democratic minority of the Ser.ate to prevent opposition to the Aldrkh bill or any other financial legis lation which may be offered. The fact is. Gorman will stand in with Aldrich, as he always has done on all r.:attcrs of management in the Senate, The fact that Aldrich and Gorman are generally standing In with each other on legislation makes the other members of the Senate somewhat suspicious of these two party leaders. Daniel of Virginia, who is a member cf the finance committee, is not in favor cf the Aldrich bill, and has announced himself very positively on that point- Ho declares It is the best argument yet of fered far inflation and for free silver. He a.so says that after looking into the matter he Amis tho Pennsylvania is the c!y railway in the country that can take advantage f the provision to allow rall roal bonds to be deposited as security, because It is the only road that has for ten years paid a 4 per cent dividend. There was very little Democratic oppo- sltion to the Aldrich till last session, but It was easy to defeat It In the short time It was up for consideration. MORE PRINTERS CAN SOW BID.

Men Trying to Get Receiver for To bacco Concern, Are Scored. NEW YORK. Aug. 17. In the Universal Tobacco Company receivership hearing to day. In Jersey City, Attorney Peckham continued his argument. At the conclusion of Bourke Cockran's argument, who fol lowed Peckham. the vice-chancellor inti mated that he would not appoint a re ceiver, saying: "I am inclined to tninic that the appointment of a receiver would be desirous to the company, but I say this without knowing what the other side will say." Mr. Cockran In his argument traced back the organization of tho Universal Tobacco Company and said that President Butler had put all he had In the enter prise. Mr. Butler had made two con tributionsone of cash and the other of his skllL They were to make 100 per cent profit. Commenting on Mr. Peckham's remark that Tilford merited state prison, Mr. Cockran said that Tilford was not in court to meet the charge. He said he thought tho overcapitalization was inju dicious, but the plan was the only feasible ono under tho New Jersey statutes. He said it came from an ill-grace from tho architects of this scheme to quote it hero against this man (meaning Mr. Butler). The vice-chancellor, interrupting, said: "Nothing has been introduced in court to substantiate your argument. I do not appreciate it, and I do not follow It." Mr. Cockran then read a number of affidavits in support of his argument. He said the point that the company was aim ing at was the uncovered flank of the trust, namely, the Imported cigar. "According to your argument," said the vice-chancellor, ''the company was only the football of Hollis & Co.' "It became worse than a football," re torted Mr. Cockran, "as a football has the quality of rebound; it became a flabby skin. The Imported cigar is the life of a cigar store. If tho trust could say: 'If you V) not take our cigarette, you can't have our imported cigars, tho trust could bo master of the situation." Mr. Cockran told about the sale of the Henry Clay and Bock Company. He sold he was assisting in the negotiations to buy the company when he was informed that the company had been sold to the trust. That was the devise by which the company was struck. "How was the Universal Tobacco Com pany to buy a $2,000,000 company if it did not havo tho capital?" asked the vice chancellor. Mr. Cockran replied tho cash had been promised. He said tho Clay & Bock Com pany had been sold by such method, that the arrangements made to .protect tho "Universal Company were defeated. The prospects under which they had or ganized were destroyed by their own trus tees. Mr. Cockran declared that "Tilford's flight carried with it a confession," and tho court, again interrupting, sold: "I do not see anything improper in Til ford's conduct from the statement of tho attorney." Mr. Cockran argued that Tilford had letrayed tho organization. The court said that half the time hacl been spent In at tacking Tilford and it was just so much tlmo wasted. An adjournment was taken until Sep tember 7, when the decision will be ren dered. In the meantime, an ordor was signed continuing tho injunction against issuing mortgage bonds. These will be employed In strengthening the forces on the frontier to prevent the passage of Bulgarian bands into Macedonia. The of ficials, however, state that this rumor Is -uniounaea, ana mat tne reserves were called out to undergo their customary tralnuig of 14 days. HOLDS TRUSTS HELP COUNTRY. Stuyvesant FIsli Defends Merging: of Great Itnllronds. NEW YORK, Aug. 17. Regarding the developments of recent years in the rail road world. Stuyvesant Fish, president of the Illinois Central, has given out a statement, in which he commended busi ness consolidations as helpful to the general prosperity of the country. "Consolidations and mergers will con tinue right along." he says, "but the railroads will never be controlled by one man: neither will the Government tRio control of them. These -consolidations are aimed to secure greater economy, and should bring about lower rates. You can no more prevent consolidations In the interest of economy than you can make water run up Mil. The right way to do is to let the railroads consolidate or merge aM they want to. Then let the people look after tariff rates and taxation. There are at present some SO) railroad companies, and these will jon er or later be merged into 3$ or 30 cor porations It is the inexorable logic of events and the tendency of the times."

RAIN CAUSES FLOOD The Two Kansas Cities Are Again Using Boats. BRIDGES ARE SWEPT AWAY Water DKHlgher TItaa at Any Time Since Jbiic, and More Stractsres Are Threatened All ICaasas Streams Are Rlstaff. KANSAS CITY. Aug. 17. Boats are again being used to transport persons be tween the two Kansas Cities, the James street foot and wagon bridge and the Met ropolitan Street Railway Company's bridge over the Kansas River having been carried out by the strong current The river is higher than at any time since the June flood, and other structures are in danger. The wrecked bridges are tem porary affairs, constructed hastily two months ago. A further rise Is expected. as half a dozen tributaries to tho Kansas west of here are bankfull. The river has "been turbulent for over week past, and the strong current has brought In great quantities of driftwood from the West. The James-street bridge was partially wrecked yesterday. Soon after itwent out this morning It floated down and took out the street railway bridge, severing tho main lino of com municatioit across the river and carrying with it the Kansas City, Kan., gas main and the telephone cable. The wreckage of tho two bridges finally lodged against the Chicago Great Western Railway bridge, and while It weakened that structure and put It out of service. it will. It is believed, remain Intact. Further on, much driftwood caught at tho flow-line bridge, which furnished the Missouri city with Its principal water supply. No damage resulted to this bridge, and no apprehension is felt re garding it, unless there is a great rise in tho river, which seems unlikely. All streams in Kansas, including the Kaw. the Smoky Hill and the Republi can Rivers, are rising after heavy rains last night, and this water is expected here late tomorrow. Tho Stockyards Company has a. large force of men at work protecting Its plle brldge, over which livestock for the Ar mourdnle packing-houses is driven from the main yards. General Manager Rust feels certain the structure will stand. The Belt-line bridge is being kept In placo by a heavily-laden freight train. Topelca Car Line Is Under "Water. TOPEKA. Kan.. Aug. 17. The Kaw River is estimated to bo 12 feet above low water and steadily rising at the rate of two inches per hour.

Tho car-line to Oakland, an Eeast Topeka suburb, is un der water at the Santa Fe shops, and passengers are compelled to walk around the break, which is enlarging rapidly. The river is higher than at any tlmo since the June flood. KEENE KEEPS UP WAR. Xciv Railroad Snlt Against Harrl jnnn la Set for Hearing. CINCINNATI. Aug. 17. Recent reports that tho suit of Talbot J.

Sledge has a water melon patch near the road, and when the mon finished working they asked permis sion to eat a few melons. Sledge told them to help themselves, but requested that they take care not to destroy the vines. As soon as the men entered the patch they began to cut and slash melons In every dlrecUon. The negro warned them to stop, and then went after a gun. Re turning he emptied the weapon into the crowd, wounding nine out of 11. Immediately after the shooting Sledge fled.
