LONDON, Dec. 23-Afternoon papers
today comment editorislly at length on
the Venezuelan matter, but their re-
marks are on q financial rather than a
political phase. While there is no abat-
ment OF expressions OF the belief that
the position taken on behalf of the

altogether more pacific. Yet there Is
considerable display OF satisfaction at
the financial difficulties In the United
States.

element on the stock exchange, but

cally, but grave apprehensions regard

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23-The WAYS and
means commute OF the house, met at
IL o'clock today, to take formal steps
toward the preparation of revenue
bill. Thirteen members were present.
The discussion did not reach the ques-
ton of the plan which would be brought
in, it was confined to the policy OF having
congress remain in session, which, as
outlined by these dispatches, had al
ready been determined upon by the
republican leaders. By way of q reply
to President Clevelsnd's request, con-
gress should not adjourn, resolution
was presented by Mr.. Payne, of New
YORK. 1t declared that it was the sense
Of the committee that it was inexpedient
for the two houses to adjourn for the
holiday recess, and further considera-
ton OF the motion for holiday adjourn
ment should be postponed for the pres
ent.
1t is understood to be the programme
of the leaders to present bill to the
full committee the day after Christmas
and perhaps bring it before the house
the same day. For this purpose the
republicans of the committee Will go
into conference at once. The bill will
combine the tariff advance for revenue,
and bond bill along the lines intro
duced by Reed in the last congress.
1t can be stated on authority that the
rumor that the president had decided to
announce another bond issue at once is
without fundation. There seems to be
however, no reasonable doubt that
should the heavy gold shipments be
resumed and congress fail to pass any
remedical legislation, the president
would issue bonds to any amount the
situation might justify.
