MAY QUIT AND LEAVE CANNON.
Majority on Both Sides OF the House Wants
TO Go Home.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24-The situation in
Congress growing out OF the agreement
in the Senate to vote on the Cuban bill Dec.
1e is amusing Neither body is transacting
any business, and there is tacit agreement
that nothing shall be done until the regular
session meets. Dec. 7.
The Senate managers think that 1t would
be good thing to call the present session to
a close, the object for which it was called
together having been attained, but Speaker
Cannon says no" To adjourn the session
with the Cuban bill undisposed Of would.
he thinks, be an insult to tho President.
although everybody. including perhaps
Mr.. Cannon, knows that the President
doesn't think so.
There will not be quorum OF either the
Senate or the House in Washington after
tomorrow, and there is nothing doing ex-
cept that Speaker Cannon is barrcaded in
his committee room, endeavoring to arrange
his committee lists, and Senator Morgan is
talking himself into exhaustion, presumably
on the Panama question.
MIR. Cannon never did like the way things
were done in the Senate, anyhow, and 1t
is evident that he doesn't intend to learn
to like it now that he is Speaker, even
though the very things are done that he ls
in favor Of. ,.
II Mr.. Cannon persists in his determina-
tion not to allow the session to adjourn,
he NAV be left alone in the House to WELD
the oayel over empty benches during the
remainder of the session, while Senator
Morgan talks to the echoes in the Senate.

HILLS NEW CURRENCY BILL.
No Provision for Issue OF Asset Currency,
which Was In His Last bill.

WASHINGTON, Nov "a Representative
Hill Rep, Comm introduced in the House
to-day new currency measure embody-
ing seven distinct propositions 1t makes
no provision for an issue of asset currency
which was the feature of the bill for which
Mr.. Hill and Representative Fowler, chair
man Of the House Committee on Banking
and Currency, contended in the last
Congress.
The new bill provides for uniform treat
ment of public moneys, eliminating the
exception with regard to receipts from
customs, which, under the present law,
must be held in reserve. 1t also repeals
the present statute, which limits the total
withdrawal of circulation Of national bank
notes to So 900 900 within any given month. j.
Provision is made for the issuance OF
subsidiary silver when the bullion now IN
the Treasury is exhausted, as Mr.. Hill
estimates it will be on July next. by au-
thorizing the recoinage OF silver dollars in
order to obviate the necessity OF purchas-
ing more silver bullion. The bill gives
discretion to the Secretary of the Treasury
to reissue silver certificates and greenbacks
in such denomination as they are called Tor
rather than under the present restrictlonn'
1t also authorizes the issue OF gold certlh-
Gates in denominations Of $40 to fill in the
gap which would be occasioned by cutting
up the other denominations, thus fixing the
minimum gold certificate at $40, instead OF
$20. as at present.
1t repeals the clause in the act Of March a,
1900, which limits tie issue of each bank
to one-third OF its total Issue in IS notes
| and permits them to lie issued as pubhc
necessity and convenience may demand.
Lastly, the measure fixes a uniform AK
upon circulation regardless of what issue
of bonds it is based upon.
Mr.. Hill declares that this is a purely
administ rative measure, based upon present
needs and condit ions, and sees no reason

Arosemena said he had not supposed 1t

state of things at Panama, he said:
The Junta. which consists Of govern,
ing board Of three, will rule until the national
convention meets, which may be in about
two months. The Constitution will then
be adopted, and there will be change in
the Government. There will be President
and Cabinet. I cannot tell you whether
there will be a Vice President, but there
will be provision whereby there will be
a substitute in case of resignation or death
of the President. / think that Panama
will not desire to be annexed to the United
States. believe we could maintain our
independence without the aid Of the United
States if we had enough vessels to defend
our coast. 1t is practically impossible for
Colombia to get ut us except by lanuing
troops Oh our shores. She has an excellent
army. In an emergency we could put 10 600
men in the field. Tho enthusiasm is high
on TIE Isthn.us, aud the young men are
going into tho army. But we do not want
war; we want peace, and prosperity. That
is why we are trying to sell the two gunboats
captured from Colombia.
