Chamber of Commerce.

Chamber OF Commerce.
New YORK, April 15 = A special meet
ing of the Chamber of Commerce was held
this afternoon to receive the report Of the
Finance Committee on the subject of silver
legislation by Congress. The committee
reported that they find it impracticable to
unite in any special recommendation. They
can only agree in deprecating any measure
by which the country shall accumulate in
its treasury so large an amount of silver in
any form as shall disturb our financial re-
lations with other powers, but that any
law enacted upon the subject should have
respect to our commerce with the world ut
large. Only three members out of five
signed the report. Those failing to sign are
John J. Knox and George c. Magoun. After
some discussion resolution, proposed by
w. Fl. ST. John. that the subject be post
poned until the special meeting after the
Republican caucus in Washington has de-
cided what action to take, was adopted and

A RELIC OF LAFAYETTE.
Congress Asked to Pay His Expenses for a
Trip TO This Country,

LIP " 1uls
WASHINGTON, April 15.-When General
Lafayette was invited to this country in
1924 as the nations guest, he came in the
snip Cadmus. OF course no attempt was
made to collect any fare from the dis
tinguished visitor, nor was any bill pre-
sented to him for what he ate or drank
while he was joyously voyaging over the
main. The bill has. however, been pre-
sented to Congress and amounts TO S9371 81.
Years ago the captain and owners of the
Cadmus departed this life, leaving their
descendants but little more than the mem-
ory of their good name and this intangible
and uncollectible bill. Senator EYarts in
troduced the bill to-day and if the Commit
tee on Claims makes favorable report, the
heirs of the good men who are gone may
get their money. But they will not get the
interest which this money would have
Gained had it been invested anywhere else
than in the National Treasury. Congress
does not pay Interest,"
