HOUSE CURRENCY DEBATE
Will Probably Not BE Opened Until
Next Week,

1t is now probable that the debate on the
currency bin in the House will not COM
mence until next week. The republican
caucus tonight will consider the bill as
framed by the caucus committee. No ap-
parent opposition has developed to it on the
republican side, and the caucus undoubted-
.ly will adopt 1t introduced yesterday.
Tho leaders, however are not disposed to
rush its consideration in the House. They
wish TO allow the members the remainder
of the week for the study of the bill and
report and the preparation of speeches 1t
is probable that the whole of next week will
be allowed for the debate. The considcra-
ton of the bill will be under a special order
from the committee on rules which will
provide for vote at a specified hour on the
closing day of the debate.
The Senate finance bill made public yes
terday was well received by the republican
members of the House who framed the
House bill. MIR. OVerstreet of Indiana who
introduced the House bill. said that little
difficulty was anticipated in reconciing the
two measures. The bonding feature of the
Senate bill was the chief point of differ
ence from the House bill, and beyond this
he said, the bills proceeded substantially on
the same lines. the differences being those
of phraSeology. Mr.. Overstreet expressed
the belief that these differences could read

4 SAD CASE.
An Old Soldier Looking After n PEN
sion Claim.


There was a sad case at the pension
office today. Broken In health. a helpless
cripple and paralyzed in speech. John Caire
presented himself at the office of the COM
missioner He was just from the Soldiers
Home at Hampton on a nine days furlough
en- route to Boston. The man was absolute
ly helpless when he presented himself at
the pension Office and it was only with the
greatest difficulty he made himself under
stood.
1t SO happened that Representative FitZ-
gerald of Boston dropped in during the OLD
soldiers presence, and when he heard the
man wanted to go TO Boston he interested
himself in the case. He found, after patient
inquiry, the man was not a constituent Of
his, although a native of Massachusetts.
1t was learned tbs old soldier was without
funds; that the authorities of the Home at
Hampton had permitted him to leave with
but So, and that he was in search of an
increased pension claim. Representative
Fitzgerald promised to look after the pen
sion case and paid the old soldiers fare
back to Hampton. He expressed himself
very forcibly on the officials of the Home
in permitting the man to leave and said he
proposed to investigate the matter. One Of
the inspectors of the Home happened in at
the time, and he also thought it passing
strange that the nan should have been per-
mitted to leave. 1t Is understo God an in

All Cubans are joining in the union of

united Gomez and Cisneros."
Gen. Gomez said: They are mistaken
who think that enmity exists between the
Cuban revolutionists and myself. The only
difference has been one of opinion / shall
not now discuss who was right and who
was wrong, but 1 will say that the differ
ences never We're capable of preventing us
from uniting in the service of Cuba If the

aid. / am always ready to embrace Lacret

With the exception of Mr.. Richardson of

were reelected to Congress will probably

tees.
An effort will be made to provide the

adequate. Frequent hearings are held be-
fore the committee, necessitating the pres
ence of citizens in numbers. and upon such
occasions the room is found to be too
