Proposed Memorial Meeting.

1t is understood that a movement is
contemplated by members of the Senate
and House. regardless of political affinity,
looking to holding a memorial service over
the death of Mr.. Butterworth, in order
that an opportunity may be given his old
colleagues and friends to give utterance
to their appreciation of his character and
works.
1t appears that there was a widespread
feeling and hope that in a measure at
least the old-time Quaker observances
would prevail at the regular funeral SER
vices at the church. and 1t was at first
contemplated that this program would be
carried out. and his near and dear friends
would be given an opportunity to pay in
a few words a last tribute of affection to
his memory, but it was not deemed wise
to arrange the services in this way, and 1t
Is now the feeling that the memorial ser
vice be held in some public place where
opportunity may be given to bear testi-
mony in behalf of their departed friend

MR.. FA1RcHILD HEARD.
The Ex-Secretary Before the Banking
and Currency Committee.

The currency hearing before the House
committee on banking and currency con-
tinued today. ex-Secretary Fairchild being
heard through the morning, with the un-
derstandfng that Secretary Gage would ~.
sumo at o'clock. The inquiries Of M.
Fairchild were along the line Of developing
the oesree Of success with which the mon
etary commissions bill could be put into
practical operation.
Considerable feeling has been aroused by
the determination of the committee, on
party vote. not to hear President Warner
of the Bimetallic Union and Chairman
Towne of the silver republican national
committee, unless these gentlemen pre-
pared bill and assumed responsibility for
1t. Mr.. Cox, the senior member of the
minority. says this action Se equivalent to
declining to hear the silver representatives
under any circumstances, as they do not
wish to appear as the advocates of any
currency or banking bill, but to resist such
a measure II on gold lines. Mr.. Cox takes
the view that 1t is as important to present
the opposition to the pending measures as
it is to hear the points in their favor. He
expresses confidence that the majority on
the committee will reconsider it's action
and grant a hearing. to Messrs. Warner
and Towne, without conditions.

ment exclude Japanese and Chinese from

accepted by the friends sof the treaty.
The proposition submitted by Senator

not relate 10 the treaty and would come
under consideration ii the treaty should
fail and the annexation be undertaken
by legislation, There is no possibility how
ever, even should the treaty fail, of this
amendment being adopted. 1t is merely
a move of the opposition. which has no
particular significance.
