WOULD HOLD A CONFERENCE
Commission Of Three Experts to Act
as Representatives Of the United
States to Hold Consultation With
Mexico and China.

washington, Feb. 2.-The executive
branch of the government is not dis
posed to cease its efforts to bring
about an adjustment of the ratio OF
gold and silver currency in the Orient
and other silver-using countries with
the mere presentation to Congress OF
the Mexican and Chinese notes. A
commission to consider the subjec!
and present conclusions will be asked
OF Congress.
Root Seeks Remedy.
Secretary Root, who is opposed to
the amended Philippine currency bill,
is particularly urgent in seeking to
remedy the evil financial conditions in
the Philippines caused in large part
by fluctuating currency ratios, while
Secretary Hay is interested in the
proposition because it promises to al
leviate at once the friction now exist
ing as result of the Chinese indem-
nifty question. The secretary also is
looking into the future toward the en-
largement of American trade in South
and Central America, where silver still
is the standard of value.
To Ask for Commission.
The proposition will be laid before
Congress to appoint commission of
three members, men expert in finan-
cial matters, to act as representatives
of the United States in an interna-
tional money conference on the lines
indicated by Mexico and China or in
consultation directly with the interest
ed powers or, in fact, along. any line
of international exchange that prom
ises success. Little legislative action
is required at this stage and it is
probable that an apportionment of
$1,000 for the expenses of each COM
missioner will meet the needs of the
state department at this time.
Ambassador Is Pleased.
1t is made plain that the commits
sion will have no power to commit the
United States government to any
change in it's currency system. Its
conclusions will be all ad referendum
and nothing can be made Of them I'M

GOOD ROADS BILL.
Colonel BrownIow Again Presents 1t
In the House.

Congressman w. P.
Brownlow of Tennessee has reintro-
duced in the house his well known
good roads bill. Acting on the criti-
cisms Of opponents and the sugges-
lions of friends, Colonel Brownlow has
revised the bill somewhat, but all the
important features have been preserV-
ed. The new bill appropriates $24,-
100000 to be used as a fund for ma
tional aid in the improvement of high
ways. This sum is made available
during the next three years, at the rate
Of eight millions annually. No state
or subdivision thereof can secure any
part of this fund without raising an
amount equal to the share received.
The distribution among the several
states and territories is to be made
on an equitable basis, so as to leave
no room for clog rolling"
In reference to the bill, Colonel
BrOwnlOw said:
81 think my good roads measure has
made wonderful progress during the
past year. Conventions all over the
country have indorsed it, and a num-
Der of state legislatures have adopted
resolutions in favor OF it. The num-
Der of public men who have come out
for it has exceeded my highest ex-
pectations. In the west and south
the sentiment for the bill is especially
strong. A large number of senators
and members from those sections have
assured me Of their willingness to
support the measure, and it will also
have some strong support from the
eastern states, where state aid has
paved the way for national aid. I
can't see how any man representing a
rural constituency can vote for a river
and harbor bill and refuse to vote for
my bill. And 1 don't see how any one
who wants the rural free mail deliv-
cry extended in his state or district
can refuse to support a measure to aid
in improving the roads, for bad roads
are almost the sole obstacle to such
extensions. 1 am hopeful of getting
the bill up for discussion in the house
early in the regular session"
