Baltimore Bankers DO Not Agree With

Baltimore Bankers DO Not Agree With
Secretary CarlisIe's Financial Scheme.
BALTIMORE, MD., Dec. 5.-Baltimors
bankers are much dissatisfied with the
suggestion Of Secretary Carlisle in re.
gard to the currency issue.
Their views, the bankers say, do not
arise from any feeling OF jealousy be-
cause the secretary did not adopt the
Baltimore plan, but are held because
the secretary takes as a basis one OF the
chief evils OF which many bankers wish
to get rid. This is the retention Of
treasury notes. which the bankers say
will always stand as menace to the
gold reserve OF the country, and will
be disturbing influence TO precipitate
a panic at time when demagogue legis-
lators with unwise financial tendencies
get in control in Congress. They say II
his suggestion should be adopted the
tendency will be toward n state bank
system and a getting away from all ma
tionai control, as by his plan state banks
have the advantage.
This is not what sound financ:ers
want. The government should retain
asupervisory a control over the banks.
and the tendency to insure stability and
to secure uniformity should be to make
all banks national banks.

INTER sTArE COMMERCE

Annual Report OF the Commission Calls
on the Public For Aid in Prosecutions.
WASHINGTON, D. G., Dec. 5.-The in
tor state commerce commission trans
mitted the eighth annual report to Con-
gress to-day. The report says that 1t is
the duty of the shippers, railroad man
ayers, and citizents, generally, to assist
the government in running down vio-
lations Of the statute designed to pro-
tect their interests. 1t recommends
that the carrying corporations be made
indictable and subject to fine tor viola
tions OF the act.
The report then speaks Of the un-
reasonable rates from Chicago and Gin
cinnati to southern points. It speaks
also OF the unreasonable rates on wheat.
1t refers to the failure OF many carriers
to post their tariffs as required by law.
The commission explains the necessity
OF providing single classification OF
freights for the whole country. saying
that experience has shown the necessity
for congressional action and support to
be tho belief that uniform Classification
depends upon the passage OF statute
requiring it's accomplishment
On the government ownership OF rail-
roads, the commission refrains from e1-
pressing any opinion.
As to the great strike OF 1904, the com.
mission states its reason for not enter
ing upon an investigation OF this mat.
ter. The controversy includes matters
.,,,,;1o ~ annnniaainn'E inriSaicsi0n
1t is urged that the commission should
have express authority by statue to in.
vestigate the acts Of all parties in rela-
ton to such matters.
The report concludes with summary
OF desirable amendments to the inter.
state commerce law.

the session, criticising from q Populis-
tic point the recent issue of bouds and
giving his views on finance.
During the discussion Of the resolu-
tion regarding the torturing Of japanese
students, Mr.. Sherman (Rep., Ohio
said that a question OF this delicacy
should 90 to the committee on foreign
relations.
Mr.. Lodge said he appreciated the
delicacy Of the question. He reviewed
the hideous cruelties 10 which the
Japanese students were subjected while
under the protection OF this country,
and said II the facts were as had been
published some one was very much to
blame. II they were not this govern
ment should be vindicated from the
charge. It was a question on which the
honor OF the American people was in
volved. He did not object, however, to
letting the foreign relations committee
handle the resolution.
Mr.. Sherman urged that the senate
should not take up questions OF this
moment, rather by calling for informa-
tion or by debate, on unofficial publica-
tions aud without the scrutiny Of
committee.
Mr.. Chandler (Rep., N. H., suggested
that as the senator from Alabama Mr..
Morgan) was chairman OF the foreign
relations committee, 1t would be we'll to
know il he saw any objection to secur-
ing speedy information.
Mr.. Morgan replying stated that the
resolution evidently sought to censure
or blame some one-the secretary OF
state, OF the President. or our consuls
n China.
Moreover, war was now progressing
between China and Japan, aud it would
be unwise to take any action which
would appear favorable 10 one belliger-
ent or the other. 1t mad been said that
peace overtures had been made through
the United States. 1t would be untor-
tunate to interrupt such overtures by
preclpitate action 10 the senate.
Mr.. Chandler asked why-it was that
this was referred to as such delicate"
matter. The resolution simply showed
facts. It was charged that these stu
dents were in an American consulate
under the protection Of the United
States flag. That protection had been
violated, according 10 the reports. The
facts OF the barbarous tortures to those
students should be known, and they
should not be covered up by any appeal
to delicacy.
Mr.. Morgan said his main objection
to the resolution was that 1t was predi-
Gated on an impeachment OF the Presi-
dent or secretary Of state.
Mr.. Lodge answered with much vigor
that he had not intended to present any
impeachment or make an attack, but
the outrage on these students, under
American protection, was established
by unimpeachable authority and 1t re-
mained only to establish it officially!
"This country has done a good deal OF
meddling in this China.Japan mix"
said Mr.. Lodge sharply. ut began by
warning Japan concsrding her.advances
in Koreo. From that time we have
been meddling, constantly meddling."
Mr.. Morgan stated that meeting OF
the foreign relations committee would
be called at once to consider this reso-
-lution, II it was sent to the committee.
On this assurance Mr.. Lodge made no
objection to its reference and It was
thereupon referred.
