Already the fire has wrought vast dam

acres OF fine green timber. The fires are a
regular annual result of the acts of indis-

Has Little Faith in Currency Legis-
Intion Talk-Wants Cuba Free.

Washington. Nov. 24.-When asked to-
day to give his opinion "a to the proba-
bility of legislation affecting the currency
during the approaching session of con-
gress Senator Teller said:
~ don't believe there will be any legis-
lation looking to substitution of bank
notes for greenbacks and treasury notes
az n substitution for the currency reform,
so called by the supporters of the gold
standard. | think it very doubtful
whether the advocates of the change can
agree upon the details of such legisa-
ton, and bankers will not only hesitate TO
increase the issue of bank notes in suf-
ficient quantity to take the place of the
entire volume of greenbacks and treasury
notes, especially in view of the fact that
the redemption of bank notes must, to
satisfy the demands of the currency re-
formers, be in gold"
Senator Teller said he considered it
quite certain that the president would
make some recommendation on the cur
rency problem to congress, but he was
of the opinion that the suggestion would
be in general terms. as in his Inaugural
ton speech, and that the president
would leave the details to congress.
The senator expressed doubt as to
whether the administration would take
any step looking to the encouragement
of the Cubans in their war for independ-
ence.

settle the Cuban question by recognz-
