THE FINANCIAL QUESTION
Republicans in the House to Take Hand
in Its Settlement
Ex-speaker Reed VIII Probably Offer
Dill Simply Providing for Bonds.

The republicans contemplate taking a
hand seriously in the financial question
when 1T comes up under the special order
tomorrow and the two following days. Mr.
Reed will take the lead, offeriEg a substi-
tute for the committees bill, and he will
probs. bly, have a solid republican following,
or practically SO. The special order fixing
these three days for the consideration OF
the subject. and naming an hour for the
vote to be taken Thursday afternoon, will
probably be adopted without difficulty, but
even most of the advocates of the meas
ure reported from the committee are satis-
fed that 1T cannot be adopted. A number
Of informal conferences have been held
between the leaders on the republican side
in view of fixing upon line of conduct
This they have substantially accomplished,
only a few men, whose position might be
doubtful, remaining Yet to be consulted
drop all collateral questions and appeal
directly to the simple provision for the re-
lief Of the treasury by the issue of bonds.
Mr.. Reeds Substitute.
Mr.. Reed expects to offer as a substitute
for the whole bill of the committee a bill
of a few lines giving the Secretary of the
Treasury authority to issue low interest
bonds. This proposition, 1t Is believed, will
have the support of nearly all of the re-
puDlcanS. and, II anything at all can De
passed. has the test chance of being
adopted.
The position taken by the republicans is
not that of opposing other legislation for
the improvement of the financial system.
They hold, however. that nothing except a
simple and unincumbered proposition 'oan
be adopted. and that they should devote
themselves to that which there seems some
prospect of accomplishing, and which
would give immediate relief. Other legisla-
tion which may be deemed desirable may
be taken up by the next Congress. but to
attempt it now would simply render it i'm
possible to do anything at all. 1t is proba-
BILE that q considerable number of demo-
Gratis will vote for Mr.. Reeds substitute,
and it's advocates believe that 1t can be
put through the House on Thursday, and
that 1t Is possible to secure its passage by
the Senate. . The proposition is for low in
terest coin bonds, the term gold not being
used. At first 1t was suggested that 1t
should be gold bonds, but a discussion OF
the question led to the conclusion that this
would be unnecessary and would injure the
value of bonds now outstanding by imply
ing that they were payable in something
other than gold, whereas the almost un-
changeable policy Of the government makes
all coin bonds payable in gold.

HAnEAS CORPUS DENIED.
Supreme Court Action In the Cases OF
Chapman and Shriver.

The Supreme Court of the United States
today denied the application of Elverton r.
Chapman, the recalcitrant witness in the
Senate sugar trust investigation of last
summer. for writ of habeas corpus on the
ground that 1t was not competent for the
Supreme Court to interfere In the matter
until after the case should have been finally
disposed Of by the District courts. Chief
Justice Fuller, who delivered the decision.
said that II after the final decision of the
case and II that decision should be against
him 1t would be competent for Chapman to
spply for a writ Of error to the United
States court and in case that should not be
granted them to apply for habeas corpus,
but he thought the ends Of justice woulft
be better subserved if there should be no
interference at this time.
Chief Justice Fuller. said the court, had
been unable to see that Mr.. Chapman's
case presented any exceptional clrcum-
stances as he set up In his petition.
The application for writ of habeas cor
pus was also denied in the case Of j. :.
Shriver on the same grounds. the court re-
marking that 1t was essentially similar to
the Chapman case.
Justice Field dissented from the opinion.

A Provision In Regard to the Inspec-
ti0n of Fuel.

he irspects, and . cents cord for wood.
These fees are paid by the contractor. In

mission developed the fact that in nearly
all of the cases this sinecure is held hy a
government clerk already drawing salary
In one case an 81 500 clerk gets 81, 200 addi-
tional in fees from the fuel contractors.
