MONETARY PLAN
TO AID MENICO.
Secretary Shaw and Members IOf
House Coinage Committee Con-
fer With Roosevelt.

Washington, D. C, Feb. %
Secretary Shaw, Robert Armstrong,
who will qualify soon as an assist
ant Secretary of the Treasury, and
subcommittee of the House coin
aye committee consisting of Repre-
sentatives Bo1telle, Southwark and
Cochran, had a conference with
President Roosevelt today concern
ing the means of putting into effect
the proposition transmitted by the
President to Congress on Jan. 30
in special message.
The Presidents message convey
ed to Congress a report from Secrel
tary Hay with accompanying notes
and memoranda from the Mexican
ambassador and the Chinese charge
d'affaires. Mexico and China are
seeking cooperation of this Gov
eminent in such measures as will
tend to restore and maintain a fix
ed relationship between the moneys
of the gold standard countries and
the silver using countries. 1t is no;
asked that the United States codifv
its monetary system, and it is dis
tinctly stated that there is no move
ment in contemplation for the re-
storation of international hi-metal-
ism.
The particular desire is that
measures be adopted that will pre-
vent the great fluctuations in ex-
change which will occur in trade
with silver-using countries. Citi-
zens of the United States now have
investments in Mexico alone az
gregating more than half Il billion
dollars. The earnings of these en-
terprises have suffered serious fall
in gold value with every fail in the
value of Mexican money. This fact,
it is suggested, brings home to this
country the de,.r:.ur,ity of adopting
some means to insure the stability
of exchange.
After considering the subject care
fully it was the opinion of the par
ties to ,today's conference that it
won d be wise for Congress to con-
fer upon the President power to APP
point three commissioners of the
United States to participate in any
international conference on the
question of stability of exchange
that might be arranged. 1t Is ex-
pected that an effort will be made
at the present session to give that
authority to the President.

noon today, in company with other yes
sells of the North Atlantic squadron. the
battleship Massachusetts, sustained con-
siderable damage by striking on the ledge
of rocks off the western end of Egg
Rock. The big vessel slipped over the
rocks into deep water, but the two for
wark buIkheads soon filed and it was
subsequently found by divers, who ex-
amined her hull, that several plates for
ward had been cracked. The Massachu-
sets was headed back into the harbor

vessel. the Indiana, and the gunboat
