WASHINGTON, Aug. 17. (Special.)
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.
Money Order Blanks -Will Xot Have
to Be on Special Paper.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 17. The Postmaster-General
has cancelled all the bids
for printing In connection with the money
order system, except that on which the
award to Paul Herman for money order
forms was made. The new advertisement
will call for bids for printing of about
COO money order forms In paper without
a water mark. The last specifications
r caul red a special water mark, thus con
fining the bidding to a limited number
of firms able to obtain this special paper.
The new money order forms will be on
paper of the best quality, but will not
have the disinct mark. The bids will be
opened on September 5, and it is ex
pected that the awards will be made by
September 15.
It is the expectation that there will be
less delay in.fllllng requisitions for blanks

LAWYER WAXES HOT.
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.

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."

KANSAS CITY. Aug. 17. Boats are

bridge over the Kansas River having
been carried out by the strong current

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

NEGRO KILLS FOUR ME.
Rovf Over Watermelons Alno Cannes
Nine to Be Wounded.
HEFLIN, Ala., Aug. 17. News has just
reached here that four men were killed
and nine wounded In Randolph County,
the latter part of last week by a despe
rate negro named Sledge. The Sheriff and
posse are in pursuit, but have not yet
been able to capture the murderer.
The trouble started over a difficulty In a
watermelon patch. A party of white men
were working on the public road at Beaver
CreeK near Lamar. 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. A posse headed by the Sheriff over
took the negro near the steel bridge over
the Tallahoosa River, five miles from
Wedowee. He was ordered to surrender
but replied by firing his shotgun, instantly
killing Thomas Egbltt and Robert Ford.
This afternoon Sledge was accosted on
the road by James Moore and Bud Wilson.
Without warning the negro raised his gun
and fired. Instantly killing Moore and fa
tally wounding Wilson.
