After the conclusion of the meeting Mr. Voorhees, as chairman of the com mittee, handed an Associated Press re porter the statement given below. In making it he said he did not assume that it represented the views of the entire committee, and yet he knew ot no opposition in the committee to the opinions expressed, hnving submit ed the statement to the full committee be fore giving it to the public. It Is as follows: "The embarrassed condition of the treasury and the necessity for prompt action for Its relief are fully realized. There is not the slightest ground, how ever, for any apprehension that the public credit will suffer or be endan gered, for the reason that ample au thority already exists by law for the secretary of the treasury to strengthen the coin reserve to any extent required. and to meet every demand that can from the latter amendment. Warner contended If the woolen manufacturers did not have free wool In time to give the people cheaper woolens next winter he was In favor of allowing the pres ent duty to stand In order to give the farmers a market for wool during the coming season. . Mr. Bowers, republican, of California, asked if he had not claimed that free wool would increase the price of wool. Mr. Warner replied he did. If wool went on the free list In February, but if, It could not go into effect the mar ket should be retained this year. This precipitated a general discussion. Mr. Wilson then tried to obtain a vote on the question, but without success Without action on the pending amend ment the house took a recess until to night. I ADVERSE TO INTERFERENCE.

"I huvi. read the minority report," said he, "and have given attention to the historical statement made by it. I have no sym pathy with the state legislation to which the report alludes, for I believe the only way in which a constitutional Kovern- ment can be made effective Is to give the fullest effect to the principles of the republican form of government.
