mittee. has introduced bill on the
general lines of Secretary Shaw's let
ter faVoring the deposit of surplus gov
ernment funds under certain con-
ditiOns with national banks. The bill
invests the secretary with wide dis
cretiOn in the deposit or recall of
treasury funds, but authorizes him to
make deposits with national banks
having not less than 100000 capital
and surplus of S1O0,0OO of such por-
ton of the surplus treasury funds
above SJO.OOO.OUO as may seem proper
to prevent absorption of money in the
federal treasury.
No one bank is to receive deposits of
more than ~ per cent of its combined
capital and surplus. Unless United
States bonds are deposited as security
the banks shall pay interest on gov
ernment deposits of not less than >
per cent per annum. These deposits
are made first lien on bank assets.
The bill specially provides that it shall
not affect existing repositories.

indianapolis, Feb. 7.-No agreement
was reached yesterday through fore
noon and afternoon session of the com
mittee upon which depends a basis Of
settlement of the differences between
the United Mine Workers and the Oper-
ators of the four competitive mining
states. The subcommittee held ses-
sion in the morning. at which the ques-
tion of the miners demand for

the principal topic of discussion. The

that the miner delegates generally.

securing an increase through an aban-

Position of the Illinois Men.
AS rumored. one of the most difficult
propositions before the Joint scale
committee has been the apparent will
ingneSS of the Illinois operators to as
Sist the miners as far as possible to
force the run-Of-mine system into the
Pennsylvania. Indiana and Ohio fields.
The organization of the United Mine
Workers i'm Illinois is the strongest in
the country. and it has been able to
force upon the operators of that field
the run-Of-mine system. which the
operators of that state claim works to
their loss in competition.
Present Agreement Must Go.
1t became evident yesterday that
the miners have made up their minds
not to accept the present agreement.
4 number of officials privately de-
clared that even if the convention did
adopt this scale it would result in
many strikes, as the miners would
never consent OF work under the con-

have renewed their opposition to the
Manchurian arrangements between
China and Russia. 1t is probable that
this action viii result in the further
pOStpOnement of the cOnsummatiOn of

dentally for the equal rights of the
other nations in China and are shift
ing their protests to Russia as the re-
spOnsible party.
Russia Tries to Maintain a Fiction.
Paul LeSSar, the Russian minister
here, Is endeavOring to maintain the
transparent diplomatic fiction that the
Manchurian treaty and the Russo
Chinese bank agreement are not re-
lated. He has informed his colleagues
that the Russian government has no
official knowledge of the negotiations
for the Russo-Chinese bank. The Rus
sian agents are playing their parts
with the greatest regard for appear
anceS, while NJ. LeSSHr is arranging
the treaty with China. The manager
of the bank. NJ. PocatillO. one of the
most able and trusted of the Russian
agents in the east. is negotiating the
bank agreement with Wang We ShaO.
Cannot Make 1t Fact.
In the light of the statement of
Chinese officials. which We're repeated
Wednesday, namely. that Russia in
SiStS upon the simultaneous signing of
the Marchurian treaty and the bank
agreement, the representations of NJ.
Lesser fail to carry weight. The ma
tive newspapers are filled with stories
that Russia is trying to gain her ends
by offers of heavy bribeS. Germany
remains Il disinterested spectators Of
the affair. Chang Chi Tung. the vice
roy of Hankow. and Liu Kun VI. the
viceroy of Nankin. continue their eff
forts against the treaty. They are CO.
operating with the Japanese minister.
Pretty Good Thing for Russia.
The correspondent of the Associated

agreement This provides that China
shall build all railways and develop
all mines in Manchuria. If she is I'M
able to command the capital she shall
apply to the bank. If the bank is un-
able or unwilling TO enter into ar
ranGements China may apply else
where for capital. The final clause
stipulateS that the agreement shall in
nowiSe impair the existing rights Of
other nations. which clause is palpably
nulitied by the preceding conditions.
