 IN TIE ORIENT President ROOSeVeIt'S Mes sage to the Senate
No Disturbance of the Monetary Sys- tenn of the United States Is h. volved-The Main Object Is to Promote the Prosperity of China

Washinton, January 29-President Roosevelt today sent the following mes sage to congress: - transmit herewith report from the secretary of state with accompanying notes from the Mexican ambassador and the Chinese charge d'affaires ad interim which seeks the cooperation of the United States in such measures as tend to re store and maintain a fixed relationship between money of the gold standard and the silver-using countries. I re- quest that the executive be given sufIi- cient power to lend the support of the United States in such manner and to such degree as he may deem eXpedient to the purposes of the two goveru- ments.
 "(Signcd
 THEODORE ROOSEVELT"
 The message was referred to tho committee on finance.
 In his communication Secretary Hay says:
 Tt is not asked of the United States to modify it's monetary system. and it is distinctly disaVowcd that any move ment is contemplated for the restora. ton of international bimetallism. Tn" opinion is expressed, however, by the representative of both governments that consultation between the United States and European powers having dependencies in the Orient, and the i'm dependent countries, where silver mon cy is in general use may result in the adoption of a monetary system which will prevent the great fluctuations in exchange which now occur in trada with the silvcr-UsinE countries.
 "If such a result can be achieved and it is pointed out that at least d partial solution has been proposed in inc United States in bill now pending in the senate in regard to the Philip pine islInds-grcdt benefits will fol low t0 the trade of the world by mall- ing easier of access the products og manufacturing nations to the markets Of China and the other silver using counties.
 The consideration of this subject may have an important bearing also on the payment of thc indemnity due by China to certain European powers and to the United States by enabling tho Chinese empire to put her monetary system upon a basis which will mak. it possible for her to meet these pay ments in manner satisfactory to all the powers. This result if it could b. accomplished. would be of first i'm portance not only to the United States and Co the other powers having a share in the indemnity payments, but to China herself and her future develop ment"
 It is distinctly declared that the gov ernment of China does not seek tn. restoration of free coinage of silver br either gold or silver-using nations.

Washington, n. C., January 29.- Special. The action Of Senator Quay ia introducing the statehood bill in the form of amendments to the agricultur- al and sundry civil appropriation bills and having them referred to his own committee caused tempest in the sen ate today His object is to show the inconsistency of the republican leaders who oppose statehood. When Lodge and the others declared that the amendments were not germane Ba- con and Clay of Georgia showed by the record that two years ago the Spoon CT amendment relative to the Philip pines was inserted in the military ap- propTiation bill and Lodge. AldTich, Spooner, Hanna and other present en- cmies of statehood voted for it.
 The republican leaders arc angry and say that the appropriation bills will be suffered to die rather than permit the passage Cf the statehood measure.
 The expressed determination of the opponents of the omnibus bill has raised a doubt regarding the success of tho measure. Under the Ia:; rules of tho senate it is within their pow lr to obstIuct u" bill for the next twenty-eight days when it would die a natural death.

THE CAUCUS WON
 IN WASHINGTON
The Election of Levi Ankney Senator
 Last Night.

Olympia. Wash, January 29.-Ou the thirteenth joint ballot today Levi An kcay of Walla Walla was elected to succeed George Turner, democrat. in the United States senate. Twenty three of the republicans who did not join in the general caucus last night acqui- esced in the result and cast their votes today for MT. Ankeny. Thirteen, how ever, declined 10 accept the caucus choice.
 They were all railroad commission men, nine of whom voted today as heretofore for Harold Preston. two for T. Wilson and one for Congressman w. l.. Jones. Senator Moore. the demo- cratic member of the King county dele. gation. who has been voting for Pres ton since the first ballot, went back to Senator Turner.
 These changes gave Ankeny a total of % with 6S required to elect. Nearly every ore of the republicans who re- fused 10 vote for Ankeny explained his vote, and bitterness was shown by sev- eral members of the King county (Seattle) delegates against the ones who broke the anticaucus agreement last night
 Representative R. Jones of Seattle. in a prepared speech, charged that twcnty-two cf the King county delega- ton had lined up before the bar in the supreme court chamber with him at o'clock last night and renewed aIleCi- ance to Preston's interests and an anti caucus agreement, but that within less than an hour thereafter thirteen had signed a general caucus call. His speech was q remarkable arraignment of the thirteen King county men who joined the general caucus.

A DAY OF REST.
Lodge and Bard Put IL in Against
 Statehood.

Washington, January 29.-Thc senate proceedings today were unmarked by any lively debates such as occurred yesterday.
 MT. McLaurin of Mississippi urged the adoption of the Rawlins resolu- ton. calling on the secretary ai war for the evidence in certain court mar tiaI cases in the Philippines on the ground that the officers of the army in a number of instances had brUtally treated Filipino men and women. and he wanted them weeded out of tha army. MT. Lodge concluded his re- marks in opposition to the omnibus statehood bin and Mir. Bard of Cali fornia also spoke ia opposition to it.
 Just before the senate adjourned Mv. FCraker. Ohio, took occasion to say that the proposition of Senator Quay to tack the statehood bill on an appro~ priation bill was not extraordinary.
 Legislation. he said, had been placed on the appropriation bills before in the history of the senate. Mir Clay of Georgia expressed the same views in this regard
 A message from the president was read in which he asked for the neces- sary power to cooperate with Mexico and China regarding the restoration of

Tucson. Ariz., January 29 (SpeciaD - The appalling disaster of yesterday is still in the vague and uncertain, but the responsibility for the terrible collision tt Esmoad has been definitely deter mined.
 It is customary for railroad men to file reports in connection with such 7yrecks with the superintendent. To addition to these papers. last evening Superintendent Sroufe called those who were directly connected with the affair into his office for a conference. Opcr- .tOr ClOugh was relieved of duty at Vail station where he failed to deliver he message that might have averted the catastrophe, and came into tho meeting with some display of bravado The others ii attendance were Con- ductor George W. Parker of Train No. 9 and Conductor O.. H. Scriven of No. 5 md Train Dispatcher Charles F. Gray. Who was holding down the trick on this lyision the night of the wreck.
 The conference was businesslike and hence shcrt. In the face of the other operator CIouch broke down and ad- tlittcd his responsibility. He accused himself of clrelessness. the character or which he evidently did not fully reJlize.
 No. 9. the limited. should have receiv- "a orders at VaiIs to stop at Esmond, the other order was to meet a freight at Wiimot. which is beyond Esnoad. Operator Cloush received the orders and put them on his desk. When No. 9 pulled in Conductor Parker rushed into - r-s. order on the table he grabbed it and hurried away. He got the Wilmot or der and missed the EsmOnd order. The r.st is partially known.
 A squa bble has come up between the justices of the peace over the jurisdic- ricu over the case as coroner. Each in sists he has jurisdiction as coroner. w. Y. Culver could not go to the wreck when notified, but sent a deputy, O. T. lIchey. The other coroner says he had TO right to send a deputy. Both inn rlnelled iuries. held sessions today and ..Iled witnesses. Culver got the upper
 ud by prompt action. He held the quest today. Conductor Parker and Dispatcher George Gray were import int witnesses, their testimony strongly ...rob0rated the decision at the con terence. The jury will continue the ae9ring tomorrow.
 The known death list still h0vers around twenty with al possibility of there having been anywhere from five '3 twenty more killed Comment has ..eu made on Conductor Scrivens not
 ing able to tell how many were on he train. The fact is he had not had line after leaving Tucson to work his
 y through the train in the collection f tickets. One tramp was riding on b. tender of No. 8, SO he afirms, and
 oaped with slight injury Three oH
 s fellows behind the tender were He'd.
