Upper House Leader Intimates
Suggestions From "Sense
of Duty!" .
OWEN SURE OF PASSAGE
Hollis Says Measure Satisfactory to
Administration Will Result, Not
withstanding Perfunctory
S Digestions Are Likely.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 20. While
Democrats of the House were threshing
out differences over the Administra
tion's currency bill In caucus today.
Chairman Owen and his Democratic
associates on the Senate currency com
mittee began the consideration of pos
sible chances to be made In the meas
ure when It is taken up in the Senate.
Senator Owen visited the White
House early- In the day and held a
short conference with the President
He said later that he expected to sup
port the Administration bill, but that
he held himself free to recommend
such changes as he considered advis
able. His suggestions yesterday to
members of the committee that Con
press might be necessary in the plan
for regional reserve banks occasioned
seneral comment in Congressional cir
cles today.
nam of Actio Not Set.
The meeting- of the Democratic
members of the Senate committee to
day brought out a number of tenta
tive suggestions for amendments, but
no definite plan of action. Senators
Shafroth and Hollis. at the conclusion
of the conference, expressed confidence
that a currency measure would be
passed at the present Congress and
Chairman Owen said there was "no
doubt of if'
"I believe we will perfect a bill that
will be satisfactory to the Administra
tion." Senator Hollis said. "I expect
to support what is known as the Ad
ministration bill, but the Senate would
not think it had done its duty if it
did not improve it."
Among- the suggestions considered by
the Senate committee today were one
by Senator Shafroth to drop all pres
ent forms ot paper currency except
silver certificates and replace them
with treasury notes secured by a BO
per cent reserve fund, and another by
Senator Reed to have the treasury iB
sue money directly to the banks under
careful restrictions.
Owen' Opposes Sneucestlon.
Chairman Owen opposed suggestions
for the adoption of a plan similar to
that embraced In the Lea bill, now in
the Senate, which would amplify the
present Aldrich-Vreeland emergency
currency law. He insisted this would
commit the Democratic party to the
Aldrich-Vreeland plan and was politi
.rally objectionable, and that it would
contemplate the issuance of notes by
'he banks, a form of currency that
b strongly opposed.
'. The House caucus completed general
"-irbate and will begin the reading of
the Administration bill and the consid
eration of amendments tomorrow. The
measure has now been before the cau
cus more than a week and Its consider
ation probably will not be completed
for several days.
Henry Offers Amendment.
Representative Henry Introduced in
the caucus today his amendment spe
. cifically to authorize the Federal banks
to rediscount notes or tills secured by
warehouse receipts or liens on agri
cultural products. A similar amend
ment will be reported by the banking
and currency committee.
Before the bill passes the House and
leaches the Senate It is expected that
Democrats of the Senate committee will
have agreed upon a general plan of
currency reform and will Invite the
Republican members to Join them In
thit discussion of the prospective
amendments to the bill.

and in effect make the Mexicans con

Stand Ar"l"t Wax Finn.
The Administration is determined
against intervention or war, and the
only alternative, friendly mediation,
has apparently failed. Officiala here
believe, however, that the United
States, through the mission of Mr.
LJnd, will have satisfied foreign gov
ernments generally of its desire to
bring about peace and they do not con
ceive that there will be any pressure
to bring about intervention. ,
To grant arms to the Constitutional
ists would, in the opinion of many offi
cials, only add to the dangers of an
archy in the Republic, equipping ban
dit bodies with weapons of destruction,
of which they have hitherto been de
prived. That the United States will "keep
hands off" was considered more than
likely in many quarters here tonight.
and Administration officials pointed to
an Important precedent for such action
during the term of President Hayes,
when General Porfirio Dial assumed
the reins of government on May 54,
1ST", after defeating the forces of Pres
ident Lerdo. Germany recognised Dias
on May 30 of that year, Salvador and
Guatemala on June 7 and Spain on June
1. there being no other governments,
except the United Etates, represented
at Mexico City at that time.
Hayes' Message Recalled.
In President Hayes' message on De
cember 1. 1877. he announced that rec
ognition of the Dias government had
been deferred on account ef opposition
to him In Northern Mexico and Minister
John W. Foster was Instructed by Sec
retary Seward to state that the "Wash
ington Government would wait before
recognizing General Dias as President
of Mexico until It shall be assured that
his election is approved by the Mexican
people and that his administration is
able to endure and comply with the
rules of international comity and the
obligation of treaties.

In a general way President Huerta
places the blame for Mexico's civil war
upon the United tates. He Insists that
had it not been for President Wilson's
refusal to recognise his administration
he would long ago have suppressed the
rebellion, and even now he asserts the
United States can indirectly enable him
to restore order in a comparative short
time. He asks of the United States
Government only .recognition and the
withdrawal of American battleships.

time this afternoon military rule, as
a result of the copper miners' strike,
prevailed in Calumet, when serious

secret servicemen were attracted to the
scene, but the strikers became so
threatening that the troops were hast
ily called.
A number of arrests were made by
the deputies after the arrival of the
troops, but this did not end the trouble.
At the Jail, where no troops were
stationed, the wife of one of the mar
ried men took a hand in the affair and
landed a heavy blow on the Jaw of an
officer before she could be made to
desist. .The arrival or soldiers pre
vented further disorder.
