A Contract Labor Case,

Assistant Secretary Hamlin today sitting
with Superintendent Stump of the immigra-
ton bureau, gave a heaEing in the case of
Anton Held, the Amsterdam diamond pol
Usher, who was refused a landing by the
immigration authorities at New York on
the ground that he was an alien contract
laborer. Counsel for Held contend that he
should have been admitted as coming with
in the exception to the law which admits
contract laborers to be engaged in a new
industry. The only question involved is
whether diamond polishing is a new in
dustry in this country. The board of in
quiry at New York which refused the land
ing was represented by Mr.. Cochrane and
the appellants by Messrs. Fitch and Green
baum.

4 CAUCUS CONTEMPLATED
To Be Held Soon After the Close of the
Holidays.
House Democrats Want to Agree on
Some Sort of = Financial
Measure.

Congress will adjourn for the holidays
With none of the dc Ibt as to the outcome
of the financial legislation proposed in any
measure relieved The friends of the Car
Isle plan have come to the conclusion
that the bill cannot be passed without
material amendment, and those who are
interesting themselves in the subject are
expected to study the vorious propositions
made, so as to be ready when Congress re-
assemblies to take up the matter with a
hope Of coming to some intelligent conclu-
sion as to what ought to be done and out
of that to form plan modified by the con-
sideration of what may be possible to ac-
compllsh.
A Caucus Contemplated.
A caucus, to be held soon after the close
Of the holidays, is in contemplation, hav-
ing in view an agreement on amendment
which should be adopted and the selection
of a general policy for the democrats. 1t
is urged that, recognizing the necessity
for action that the party In caucus should
decide first that they will, as a party, pass
some sort Of a measure, and then proceed
TO come as near common agreement as
possible, with the understanding that af-
ter all amendments have been voted on
and either adopted or defeated, the bill as
II then stands shall be made a party meas
ure.
Not Easy to Carry Out.
A plan of this sort is easier to map out
than 1t is to carry out and the only thing
that gives promise Of even the possibility
Of any legislation IL the fear members
have of being held responsible for doing
nothing. The idea Of some Of the eastern
Democrats Is that some republican votes
might be had for a measure in which are
incorporated some of the features OF the
Walker BILL a.

TURKEYS SIDE OF 1T.
Its Policy i'm the Armenian Affair Is
Dictated by "a Stronger Power.

Its Policy i'm the Armenian Affair Is
Dictated by "a Stronger Power.
1t is intimated In diplomatic circles here
that the Turkish government is being
rather unjustly criticised for interposing
obstacles to the pursuit of an inquiry by
United States Consul Jewett into the
Armenian outrages, and that as a matter
of fact the porte is following this line of
action under pressure of some one or more
of the great European powers which have
managed to keep in the background up to
this time.
The reasons assigned for this state
Of affairs relate to the very foun-
dations of European politics. The Ie-
lations of the powers of Europe which
were parties to the Berlin treaty
whereby the welfare of the Christians in
Armenia was guaranteed are at present
such that any attempt at joint interven-
ton IN their behalf would be likely to lead
to great friction and in the end even TO a
war. Therefore 1t Is extremely desira ole
that the commission which will investigate
Armenian affairs should minimize the dis
turbances to a point where a simple re-
monstrance TO the porte will be sufficient,
without recourse to the armed demon
stration which would surely be required by
united public opinion of the civilized world
were all OF the facts disclosed in their
nakedness.
With a commission composed of COM
pidiSdHI HicIAOerS appointed Dy interested
nations this may be easily managed, but
with attachment in the shape of an
American consul, who would not be in any
degree amenable to any pressure which
could be brought to bear upon him by the
other commissioners, and who would be
sure also to tell the exact truth, the work
of the commission would come to naught
IL it in the slightest degree confiicted with
the findings of the Independent American
investigator, which would carry conviction
TO the public because of his assured impair

THE CURRENCY BILL.
Mr.. Springer Thinks the Carlisle
Measure VIII Pass the House.


II believe that the Carlisle currency bill
will be passed by the House." said Chair
man Springer Of the House committee on
banking and currency. las yet no cam
vass has been made, but from the general
sentiment among members, 1 feel that
most of the objections heretofore urged
have been overcome by the substitute in
troduced last night. 1t is probable, how
ever, that there will be a party opposition
from the republican side, notwithstanding
the changes we have made, as the minor
ity are not likely to support any measure
unless state banks are entirely eliminated,
and even then 1t is doubtful whether they
would support any bill originating with the
democrats. But with the harmonizing Of
feeling on the democratic side, think we
will have a safe majority for the bill. The
measure in its present form commands the
support Of all who are desirous Of securing
a sound currency, with the single excep-
ton, perhaps, of the radical silver element,
which has no faith in any kind Of currency
issuing banks. and will accept nothing but
government issues of fiat money. But / do
not regard this element as sufficiently
strong to threaten the success of the bill,
in view of the strong sentiment toward
getting together on the best possible bill
for currency revision and sound money"
Bland VIII Urge His Bill.
Mr.. Bland Of Missouri says: II will urge
the substitute 1 have already presented,
the changes made in the
original Carlisle bill.
These changes are evidently designed
to overcome objections. but they do not
overcome the one vital objection to putting
the currency issues Of the country in the
hands Of national banks. No change short
of eliminating national banks of issue will
make the bill approach an acceptable form.
1 am not prepared to say that my sub
stitute for issues of coin and coin notes
directly by the government will prevail in
the House, but 1t will certainly be urged
with vigor after the holidays, and / have
stantial support. In my judgment, 1t is not
going to pass in the House Of Representa-
tives."
