REPUBLICAN CURRENCY PLAN
Measure Agreed Upon by the
House Caucus.
DOES NOT SUIT THE RADICALS
Provides for Redemption of All Obliga-
tions in Gold and Permits Banks
to Capitalize at $4,000.

WASHINGTON, May %. 1t is under
stood the house Republican caucus ap-
pointed to frame a scheme of currency
reform has agreed upon measure
along the following lines:
The redemption of all obligations Of
the government in gold on demand.
Greenbacks when once redeemed for
gold to be reissued only for gold.
Permitting national banks to issue
notes to the par value of their govern
ment bonds deposited in the treasury,
instead of 80 per cent as now.
Permitting the minimum capital of
national banks to be $4,000, instead of
5000 as at present.
This plan is much less comprehensive
than ardent advocates of general cur
rency revision have urged, but was
adopted because harmonious agreement
on it was possible, which was not the
case when more radical measures were
suggested.

MANILA, May 49, The cruiser Olym-

cord fred an admiral's salute. At the

blueclad sailors crowded the decks and
gave tremendous cheer.
AS the Olympia passed the Oregon the
crew Of the battleship gave nine cheers
for the Olympia's, who responded by
throwing their caps so high that. dozens
of them were left bobbing in the wake
Of the cruiser.
Then followed the noisiest half hour
known in the harbor since the battle
which linked its name with that Of

The din of guns and brass bands

Men to Enter.

MANILA, May 23.-The Filipino com
missioners, who arrived here on Satur.
day to negotiate with the United States
commissioners, held conference dur
ing the morning with Messrs. Schur-
man, Worcester and DENLY. They
say they are without any power to bind
the so-called Filipino government in
any particular and can only refer any
results of the present negotiations to
Aguinaldo.
The Filipino commissioners, General
Gregorio del Pillar, Lieutenant Colonel
Alberto Barretto, Major Zaleita and
Senior Gracio Gonzada, with their fami-
lies, spent Sunday in visiting friends in
Manila and comforting with Seniors
Florentine Torres, Habilo Palermo and
Theodore Vancino, the members Of the
local Filipino assembly, who will par
ticipate in the meetings with the Amer
lean commissioners. Senior Torres was
a member of Aguinaldo's cabinet before
the war. He
Opposes Independence
and favors autonomy. He has been
foremost in persuading the Filipinos to
accept American sovereignty. He is
doing the burden Of the talk of the Fill
pinos and it is thought the terms they
wish for is an American protectorate,
which they talked of before the war.
Senior Palermo, who has succeeded the
irreconcilable Membino in the so-called
Filipino cabinet, is scholar and a
statesman. He is in favor Of autonomy.
He drew up scheme of autonomy with
the Spaniards which the latter repudi-
ated. Palermo is now the strong man
in Aguinaldos party.
On the suggestion of Mr.. Schurman,
president of the American commission,
the memb ers of the local Filipino peace
party have started newspaper.
The Nebraska regiment marched
from San Fernando to Calumpit for a
30 days rest. The regiment numbers
about 800 weather beaten veterans. Two
of the companies are mere squads and
their battered canteens and shiny clothes
show unmistakeable marks OF rough
campaigning. But the soldiers are
happy. Several of them dropped by the
way from the heat but when they
boarded the special train at Calumpit,
bound for Manila, they yelled like
school boys and the other troops went
to their stations and cheered heartily.

M'GIFFERT HERESY CASE,

The Author-Professor Courteously Re-
fuses to Retract.
MINNEAPOLIS, May 23.-Dr. A. T. Nc
Gifert Of the Union Theological SEM
mary, by letter presented his compli-
ments to the Presbyterian General AS
sembly, and refused to comply with it's
request Of last year. The request was
that he should modify his attitude on
doctrinal matters expressed in his
christian Church in the Apostolic
Age" or else withdraw from the church.
Instead of modifying his views he de-
clares that he is in accord with Presby-
terian doctrine on all vital points and,
far from withdrawing, he declares that
he cannot withdraw. The language Of
the letter is SO courteous that many of
the conservatives in the assembly Joined
the liberals in applauding it when the
stated clerk had read it, not understand
ing that DR.. McGiffert had refused the
most courteous bidding Of the church.
The letter was surprise because it was
believed that it would be satisfactory.
In the afternoon the commissioners
and others went to St. Paul in special
electric cars to see the city, Manchester
Presbyterian college and Lake Como.
Greetings were sent to the general
assembly of the Southern Presbyterian
church in session in Richmond, Va, and
to the Cum erland assembly at Denver.

AGAINST ARBITRATION.

Powers of the Continent Will Oppose It
at the Peace Conference.
/ LONDON, May 23.-The Daily News
publishes dispatch from The Hague,
supposed to be inspired by William T.
Stead, editor of The Review of Reviews,
which in part is as follows:
Regarding arbitration, the present
position Of the delegates seems to be this:
Germany and the other two powers of
the triple alliance are entirely against
it, and Turkey is following in their
wake. Great Britain and the United
States are entirely in favor of it. Pro
fessor Won Stengel Of the German dele
cation, said: Arbitration is impracti-

LIE S1EAMER fARlS.
Cherbourg at 6 p. m. Soon after in
the morning, at high tide and in a dense
fog, she ran ashore. From the first
there was no danger. Lifeboats and
tugs were soon literally swa1ming
around the vessel to render assistance.
A majority of the passengers, who
numbered $50, were brought to Fal-
mouth, where they obtained lodgings
for the night.
Lying in Smooth Water
Captain Watkins reported that his
ship was lying comfortably in smooth
water and that there was no occasion
for any alarmist reports. He reported
the passengers and crew all WELL
The first intimation of the vessels
striking the rocks was slight grating
sound, which was followed by second
and more pronounced shock. The look
out yelled that there was something
looming ahead, but before there was
time to reverse the engines the ship had
gone on the rocks 200 yards from the
shore. Assistance was summoned by
means Of rockets. A majority of the
passengers were not aware that an acct
dent had happened until they were
called up by the stewards. On reaching
the deck they found the ships boats in
perfect readiness for their reception.
Passengers Taken OFF Safely.
In accordance with the instructions
of the captain the women and children
were the first to be taken off the ship.
Such perfect order was maintained that
passenger explained the situation as
simply a slow procession of women and
children making for the boats.
1t is suggested that as this is only the
second trip from Cherbourg the officers
of the Paris were not familiar with the
course. -
The crew Of the Paris are still aboard
the vessel. It is believed that the
steamer has large rent in her bottom
in the forward part of the ship. Tugs
are standing by her and will assist in
an effort to get her off the rocks. .-s
The passenger list includes 50 first
cabin passengers, 100 second cabin and
1872 steerage.
First Attempt Unsuccessful. ~
An effort was made during the after
noon to tow the Paris off the rock.
Three tugs were engaged at full pres
sure, the steamers steel hawsere and
her own engines assisting for half an
hour. The attempt was entirely unsuc-
cessful, the steamer not budging an
inch. >~s.. j..
The Paris lies in much the same po-
sition as when she struck, her bow be-
ing about 100 yards from the shore and
her stern about 200. just outside the
bows Of the Paris is great, ragged
rock and ridge of rocks projects into
the water 200 yards ahead. There is
about 16 feet of water in the three for

MET NO INSURGENTS.

Ma jor Kobbe's Expedition Takes Possess
sion of Arayat.
MANILA, May 23.;-Major Hobbies ex-
petition has occupied Arayat, about
seven miles beyond Candidba, on the
Rio Grande, following the course of the
stream. No insurgents were found
there and the Pampangas along the
river are friendly. --.
Last Friday Major Kobbe took Santa
Ana, about six miles northeast of San
Fernando on the road to San Isidro. A
priest met the expedition with a white
flag. Delegations from San Nicolas and
Santiago, small villages just south of
Arayat, came to him with the news
that 900 insurgents who had been hold
ing both places had withdrawn. They
invited the Americans to enter and as
the members Of the expedition marched
in the church bells were rung and the
timid natives who had fed focked back.
Rice Stores Raided.
AS soon as Major Kobbe reached San
Luis, the natives raided the insurgents
rice stores. All day stream of half
naked people emerged from the store
house in the manner Of ants, rushing to
their houses with bags of rice on their
heads.
On Thursday night body of rebels
returned to San Luis, and burned part
OF the town. Lieutenant Cunningham,
with signal corps party, engaged in
running telegraph line, was camped
near the place. Major Kobbe sent the
arm y. gunboat Cavadonga there and
found the party today in the town.
The Rio Grande, since Major Kobbe
ttarted, has been the highway for the
exodus of the natives, and today there
is continuous procession of matched
canoes, with white flags, drifting down
the river and containing whole families
of twenty to- thirty persons, with their
household goods and animals on board.
Thousands of these boats lave passed

GIVE FILlPINOS A CHANCE.
General Otis Orders a Temporary Cessa-

MANILA, May 23. Major General
Otis has declined to recognize the rebels
to the extent Of agreeing TO an armis-
tice, but he has notified the American
commanders to refrain temporarily
from aggressive action Thus he is in
q position to resume hostilities at any
b time. This will defeat any subterfuges
to gain time, which would not be the
Z case if the general agreed to an arms.

The American commission as n
whole is regarded as an exceptionally
strong body, being made up of men
we'll known, not only in public and
political life, but in the world of let
tiers and international affairs. They
are all men of scholarship, fine lin

in congress representing the nations
of the world, conducted under the
diplomatic usage which makes French
the accepted language.

entered the ordnance department five
years later as lieutenant. He was
commissioned captain nine years ago.
During the late war Captain Crozier
served as major in the inspector gen
