Caucus of Democratic Senators
Adopts Bailey's Scheme Aldrich
I Completes Bill 'With. Conces
sions to the Democrats.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 25. An all-day
conference of the remooratic Senators
today resulted in directions to the minority-of
tho committee on finance to pre
pare a bill which -will be urged as a sub
stitute for tho Aldrich bill- and possibly
be Riven tho support of all the Demo
crats of the Senate. The Democrats of
the. finance coinmtitee will take no action
ulonif these lines until the data requested
of the Treasury Department by resolu
tion and promised for early next week
has been received and gone over by the
committee.
Government to Issue Currency.
Judging from the views expressed by
the Democrat, a bill somewhat along
tlie lines of the measure recently sug
gested by Senator Bailey will be forth
coming. Mr. Bailey's proposed substitute
for the Aldrich measure provides for the
Issuance of money by the Government in
stead of by the bankB. One of his plans
in regard to this project is to have fhe
hill conform to the Aldrich bill in every
particular save for the mode of Issuing
the currency, which will be through de
posit in National banks and the collec
tion of interest therefor. The banks re
ceiving currency doposlts will be re
quired to file securities with the Gov
ernment in exactly the same manner as
provided in the Aldrich bill. Mr. Bailey
has another plan which provides for the
deposit of funds in designated deposi
taries only.
A suggestion which seemed to gain
favor In the conference was the exten
sion of deposits to state banks.
Only Emcrgrncy Currency.
As the. ta'.k went along there grew a
tacit agreement ajnong the majority of
the Democrats in tho conference to the
effert that purely a measure for an
emergency currency would be proposed
and supported.
Another conference of Democrats will
be called as soon as the finance com
mittee Democrats. Senators Daniel, Tel
ler, Money. Bailey and Taliaferro, draw
up their bill after perusing the Treasury
Department figures.
Senator Mcl-aurin spoke in favor of
his 1)111 authorizing the Issuance of
treasury notes on the deposit of cotton
warehouse receipts, was outlined at
length by the Senator, who urged its
adoption because of the standard char
acter of cotton as a commodity, because
of the necessity of ready money in mov
ing tho cotton crop.
He contended that the cotton producer
is more entitled to the favor of the Gov
ernment than shippers who hold stocks
and bonds.
Mr. Owens brought several bills, au
thorizing the use of Government bonds
as legal tender, limiting speculative
loans by banks and regulating deposits
In banks, to the attention of the confer
ence, and urged their acceptance as pro
viding a complete system for the pro
tection of the public and conservative
hankers.
Reassurance was given to certain of
the Senators at the beginning of the cbn
' IVrenee that no vote should be taken
and that there should be no action of
any kind that would be binding on Sen
ators when It came to consideration of
financial legislation in the Senate.
TIIKOWS SOP TO DEMOCRATS
Aid rich Makes Important Changes
in filial Draft or Bill..
WASHINGTON. Jan. 25. When the
Senate committee on finance meets next
Monday, Chairman Aldrich will be pre
pared to exhibit the perfected text of
his currency bill. During the recess
he has been engaged with other prom
inent members in putting the finishing
touches upon the measure, and they
held their tlnal meeting today.
Among the more important of the
changes will be one accepting Senator
Hallcy's proposition for distribution of
the proposed surplus bank issue among
the various states in proportion to
their banking capital and surplus. Mr.
Bailey has been preparing a substitute
bill in which this feature is given a
prominent place, and it is not yet de
termined whether he will resist when
the action of tho majority membership
becomes known.
Concessions of the AVest.
Other changes which it is hoped will
havo a mollifying effect upon opponents
both in the Democratic party in the Sen
ate and among Western Republicans is
one increasing the amount of extra cirl
culation allowed by the bill from $250,
ooo.OOti provided by the first draft of the
bill to Jn00.Oti0.000. and another making
radical changes in the provision in re
gard to the municipal bonds which the
hill provides shall be accepted as security
for the surplus issue.
As the bill stands, it requires that
cities 'whose bonds may be accepted
shall be 15 years old, have not fewer
than 20.000 population, and shall not
for 10 years have defaulted on any
bonded debt. In the new print all
these restrictions and definitions will
he eliminated and the authorities thus
will he permitted to pass upon all mu
nicipal bonds upon their merits at the
time presented. The committee also
will concede the contention that addi
tional issues will be permitted to the
extent of SO per cent of the market
value of the bonds deposited instead
of 75 per cent, as the former bill called
for. This latter change was suggested
by the terms of the original National
bank law.
Government Guarantees Notes.
One important effeet of the bill as it
will be presented will be to make the
lnited States Treasury directly re
sponsible for the payment of all bank
notes issued after the law goes into
effect.
There is a popular impression that
under the terms of the bill there will
he two kinds of bank notes one class
such as is now used and the other the
extra circulation to be used under the
National law. Mr. Aldrich characterizes
this as an entire misapprehenlson ot
I lie intent of the measure. On the
contrary, he says, all the notes will
be uniform, but they will be different
from the notes now provided for.
These specify the deposit of Govern
ment bonds to secure payment and this
will probably be discarded In its
place will be .a legend to the effect
that the Government guarantees the
payment of the. note.
.Fowler to Speak on Currency.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25. Representa
tive Fowler, of New Jersey, chairman of
the House committee on banking and cur
rency, today announced that on Monday
he will, for the first time, address the
House on the Fowler currency reorganiza
tion bill. He has reserved an hour for
the discussion, and he anticipates that
many questions will be asked.
HAS DISPATCH FROM ROOT
O'Brien Ready to Tell Japan What
AVe Want.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25. It is learned
at the State ' Denartment that the de
partment's communication to "Ambassa
dor O'Brien relative to the restriction of
emigration into the United States from
Japan went forward two days ago and
its receipt has been acknowledged by Mr.
O'Brien. The fact that the debate in the
Japanese Diet was adjourned until Jan
uray 30. will consequently afford the Am
bassador ample time to prepare Secretary
Root's views for submission to the Jap
anese Foreign Office and for the latter
to arrange for the presentation . of the
subject to the Diet.
The State Department is well satisfied
with the treatment accorded this subject
by the Japanese government, and partic
ularly with the spirit exhibited in the in
structions given to subordinate . officials
in Japan, for the reason that in its view
the subject is not so much one of regula
tion as of the execution of the restrictive
measures in a proper spirit.
POLICY YET TO BE AXXOUXCED
Japan Postpones Outlining Its Emi
gration Policy.
TOKIO. Jan. 25. The programme for
today's session of the Diet, including
the speech of Foreign Minister the Vis
count HayashI, regarding the immigra
tion question was suddenly changed
and the speech was postponed until
January 30. when It is expected that
Viscount Hayashi will outline definitely
the plans of the government for the re
striction of emigration to America and
Canada. It is understood that the post
ponement was due to the fact that a
reply from the American Government
to the last, memorandum from Japan
was expected to be handed to the for
eign office this afternoon.
Since the delivery of its last memo
randum the Japanese government has
issued the most stringent instructions
to all Governors and other officials con
cerning the regulation of future emi
gration along the lines of the future
definite policy of restriction, which in
cludes the prevention of the emigra
tion of laborers to America and Can
ada, except under given conditions
which will be satisfactory to the gov
ernments of both of these countries. No
laborers will be permitted to emigrate
to Mexico.
Evidence of the determination of the
Japanese government Is shown by an
official order issued to emigration com
panies today, wherein all emigration to
the Hawaiian Islands is absolutely pro
hibited except in the case of relatives
of Japanese already residing there.
The order bearing on emigration to
the Hawaiian Islands has created con
sternation among the emigration com
panies, who expected to institute a
virulent attack upon the foreign office
policy. In this respect. Viscount Ha
yashi, however, is determined not t8
yield and says the Japanese govern
ment having given its promise will not
recede from it, regardless of political
pressure.
Viscount Aoki. ex-Ambassodar to the
United States, has arrived here. Vis
count Hayashi, Foreign Minister, early
this morning, sent a representative to
Yokohama to receive him. At the
Shimbashi Railroad station in this city
he was met by Baron Chinda, of the
foreign office, by many officials of the
diplomatic service and numerous
friends who extended to him a cordial
welcome home.

TOKIO, Jan. 25. Viscount Aoki. ex

At the Shimbashi Railroad station in this
city he was met by Baron Chinda, of the
Foreign Office, by many officials of the

who extended to him a cordial welcome
home.
ULTIMATUM TO GOLDFIELD
No Police Force if Card System Is
Retained.
CARSON, Nev., Jan. 25. Should the
mine owners refuse to withdraw the
card system, the police bill will prob
ably meet its death in committee and
never be presented for a vote. A poll
of the Assembly shows a heavy ma
jority in favor of withdrawing of the
card system and that the members are
further pledged to hold up the bill un
til this question is settled.
Operators May Ignore Demand.
GOLDFIELD, Nev., Jan. 25. No ac
tion has been taken by the Goldfleld
mine operators in regard to the de
mand of certain members of the As
sembly at Carson that the obnoxious
card system be abolished or the bill es
tablishing a state constabulary would
be killed. It Is not believed that any
attention will be paid to the matter.
A meeting of the operators will prob
ably be held tomorrow or Monday,
when the matter will be taken up of
ficially. PERS0NALMENTI0N.

JACK LONDON SAFE
Leaves Snark at Papeete and
Comes Home.
WILL RESUME HIS CRUISE
Boat Xeeds Repairs, So He Vacs tbe
Chance to Come Back With 110,
00 0-Word Novel He Writes
on the Trip All Well.
SAX FRANCISCO. Jan. 25. Jack
London, the author, wno left here last
May on a seven years' trip around the
world for the Woman's Home Compan
ion, and to pcocure material for other
literary work and for whose safety
fears have been entertained, returned
to this city today on the steamship
Mariposa from Tahiti.
London is accompanied by his wife
and says he has come back to attend
to some business matters. He will
leave again on the Mariposa on Feb
ruary 1. The Snark, the 50-foot boat
in which London is making- his trip,
was left at Papeete for repairs to her
gras engine.
"We have had absolutely no adven
tures," said London, "and the reasons
for our delayed arrival at the Mar
quesas Islands, which gave rise to the
reports that he had been lost, were
simply trouble with our gas engine
and because we spent some time cruis
ing among the various islands. When
we resume our voyage in the Snark
we shall have an- entirely new crew.
Those who came with us when we left
San Francisco last Spring idealized ad
venture, and when they found that ac
tual adventure had a lot of hard work
in between times they lost interest."
Busy Writing: All the Time.
Seen on board the Mariposa this
morning shortly after the vessel's re
lease from quarantine, London looked
the picture of health. According to
him, his cruise has been wholly suc
cessful and he has not spentf' an idle
moment since his departure from this
city in Arril of last year.
- "I havt not taken a day off from
rr.y writings," he declared, "and return
with a novel of about 140,000 wor,ds
which is all but completed."
I left HHo in the Snark on October 7 last
and made the Marquesas In just 00 day.
This was a. little longer than I had expected,
but was due to contrary winds encountered.
After putting to sea. we found that the
northeast trades had shifted around to the
southeast and tt was slow work. The Snark
behaved beautifully, however, and no dam
age whatever was sustained. On the voyage
from Hilo, we had a most delightful time.
For three weeks a school of Bonlta followed
us and we could catch them without the
least trouble. Upon one occasion vlwn 1Q00
miles from land. I landed a big sea turtle,
and as for man-eating sharks, we caught
those, too.
Our first stop In the South Seas was at
the Island of Neukahlva. at the ort of
Talohai. After a stay of two weeks here,
we proceeded to the Valley of Typee, made
famous by that early wr) ter of early sea
novels. Herman Melvllla. Later we shaped
a course for, Papeete, where the Snark Is
now anchored and will remain until our
return.
Visit to Nature 3Ian.
In relating his adventures in the
Snark thus far, Jack London laid par
ticular stress upon his reception at
Papeete, where he was met by Darl
ing, "the nature man," who came out
In a small boat waving a red flag as
a salute to his brother Socialist. Dur
ing his stay at this port before the
departure of the - Mariposa, London
was visited daily by the nature man
on the Snark and both held Socialistic
seances. According to the author.
Darling is not as poor in pocket as
was at first ieDorted, out on the other
hand seems to be doing fairly well in
his South Sea Island home.
When reminded of the fact that he
had been given up for lost by many
of his friends in this city, London
laughed.
"I was thinking of tying the Snark
up at some small island and returning
here with my wife and a story of hard
ship, but later changed my mind dur
ing the voyage up on tne Mariposa,"
London announced.
Asked as to his future plans, the
writer stated that the cruise of the
Snark would be carried out as first
planned and that he would visit in
turn Samoa, the Fijis and all the ports
of the Orient.
THIRD DOUMA TOO LAZY
Scored by Its President and Newspa
pers for Inefficiency.
ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 25. The
Douma's slowness in discharging its
dutiu3 as an executive body has creat
ed a bad impression throughout the
country, principally among the adher
ents of constitutionalism. This has
taken shape in an unusual chastise
ment of his fellow-members of the
Douma by M. Khomyakoff, its presi
dent, in an Interview in the Novoe
Vremya, in which the president com
plains almost in despairing tones of
his inability to whip the Douma into
a. semblance of parliamentary effi
ciency. M. Khomyakoff denounces the in
difference shown by a large number
of the members, many of whom hard
ly ever cross the portals of the Tauride
palace. Instead of laboring to over
come skepticism, he charges, thv
Douma is failing into disrepute
inrousrh mere sloth.
The newspapers here, both conserva
tive and liberal, sustain M. Khomya
koff's strictures, the Novoe Vremya
particularly urging the observance of
business-like methods. -
The Rech maliciously rejoices at this
demonstration of the unfitness of the
landlord element for parliamentary
work. The difficulty in obtaining a
quorum has led the Octoberlsts to
designate tbe Douma as the "Quorum
ists." Scarcely a third of the member
ship attends the sessions.
IlBERAlj PRIEST IX DISGRACE
Unfrocked by Holy Synod for Ad
vocating Socialism.
ST. PBTERSBURO, Jan. 25 Father
Gregory Petroft. the most noted priest In
the Russian nation, next to Father John
of Cronstadt. was deprived of his eccle
siastical rank at the session of tlie Holy
Synod and has been given over to the
authorities for judgment before a civil
court. An alleged contumely to the
church and state was contained in a let
ter which he addressed to Archbishop
Antonio of St. Petersburg and which was
widely circulated in Europe and America.
Father Gregory Petroff's career as a
pulpit orator was most brilliant. He ex
ercised sway over all classes, and multi
tudes thronged to hear him. At one time
he was a great favorite at court, and fre
quently led the family worship of the

the statement says:

WIRELESS AROUND WORLD
France to Use Eiffel Toner for Send

PARIS, Jan. 25. General Picquart,
Minister of War, is convinced that on
account of the splendid results attained
by the wireless system, by means of
which recently messages were sent
here direct from Morocco, a distance
of about 2000 kilometers, the estab
lishment of an instrument in Eiffel
tower would prove most useful as a
part of the National defense in time of
war.
Lieutenant-Colonel Chales, Director
of Military, said tonight that he ex
pected important results from the con

out that with the great height of the
Eiffel tower messages should theoret

mass meeting to be held next week, at
which leading club women of Berkeley
and the clergymen of Alameda County

The movement, launched last week, has
gained strength daily until the women of
Berkeley claim that they could carry
their point today by a direct appeal to
the voters.

NO OTHER
RESULT OF REFORM
Mohler Says the Union Pacific
Must Reduce Force.
ALL FAULT OF ROOSEVELT
Discharge of 'Men or Short-Time
Work Will Continue as Long
as the- "Reform Mania"
Is in
Vogue.
OMAHA, Jan. 25. The reduction of
working hours of Union Pacific shop men
which began last Monday is to be fol
lowed after today with a. reduction of
working days from six to five per week.
At the headquarters of the Union Pacific,
it is stated that Omaha will not be the
only place affected and that1, there soon
will be a general reduction of the mechan
ical force of the road along its entire
line. This reduction probably will affect
several thousand men, either by reduc
tion of working hours or final dismissal.
The World-Herald today quotes Vice
President Mohler as charging the reduc
tion to "President Roosevelt's mania for
reform," and indicating that his road
would work with a reduced force so long
as the President's activity against cor
porations continues.
"You may say the Union Pacific is only
cutting down because it has to," he said,
"and not because it is any pleasure to the
company to throw thousands of men out
of work. The public will be in no way
affected by the reduction in force and all
the comforts of travel will be preserved
just as regularly as before.
"It is this Roosevelt prosperity that
makes this step necessary and it disgusts
me to think that his mania for reform
should make the working class thus suf
fer. "This retrenchment and economy will
be necessary just as long as the adminis
tration keeps up its 'reform' activity, and
so I am unable to say how long it will be
before the old working time and the rest
of the working force will be reinstated."
The motor shops will not be affected
by the new rule, but other shops will.
Superintendent of Motive Power McKeen
admitted that the cut would be made, but
further than that refused to talk. j
He dictated a statement regarding
the report of the reduction printed in
a local paper, as follows:
"I was called up by telephone at a
'late hour in the evening relative to a
rumored reduction in -the force of men
employed in the mechanical depart
ment of our road, and Inquiries were
made which'to me appeared rather In-

trusive. It was distinctly .understood
that the conversation was of an indi
ual, and not official character.
"The reduction In force is only made
to meet the same percentage of reduction
in traffic, and, dealing directly, as we
arc, with this large body of men, and
realizing the suffering that ensues, and
having been through similar experiences
in previous' years It is not a pleasant
task to perform nor pleasant surround
ings to view.
"I have received no political instruc
tions from Mr. Harriman, either directly
or indirectly, since my connection with
the Union Pacific Railroad."
Mr. Mohler stated that there are
about 3000 men employed In the mechani
cal department at present, but admitted
that the last four months had witnessed
a reduction in force of about 8000 men,
which is greatly in excess of the num
ber usually discharged at this season.
Xo further reduction of force will be
made, but hours of employment will be
made as above indicated.
