AN EMERGENCY CURRENCY
A Request That Will be Made by the

Portland, Ore, Dec. 19.-The Even ing Telegraph says: At the meeting of the National Live Stock association which opens in this city, Jan. F, ene Of the most important subjects com ing up for consideration will be the launching of a concerted movement whereby adequate legislation may be secured from the national congress to provide an emergency currency for western banks, that the periodical live stock and agricultural interests during periods of heavy movements may be minimiZed if not entirely obviated.
 It is asserted that because of condi- tions of the money market during the mast few months. just at a time when the movement of live stock was heav- jest, millions of dollars have been lost to the stock growers of the west. Banks holding cattle paper have in many cases called In loans besides declining to make new ones, thereby depriving stockmen of necessary funds wi h which to protect their interests.

SLIP
UnwittingIy Assisted the
 Recognition of Panama
MOVES TO RECONSIDER
The Alabama Senator, if He Had Thought of it, Would Have Opposed the Confirmation of the Minister to the New Republic.

Washington. Dec. 19.-In an executive session of the senate MT. Morgan moved to reconsider the motion by which the nomination of w. I. Bucl,an- an. to be minister to Panama. was con tirped on Thursday last and the mo- ton was discussed for half an hour without being acted upon.
 Senator Morgan said that he had iu- terded to oppose the confirmation of Buchanan's nomination, but had not observed when it was taken up by the senate and had. therefore. been unpre- pared for tha announcement of his con- firmatiOn.
 Roth Senators Morgan and Bacon said as far as they are advised. there is no personal objection to MT. Bu- chanan and both based their opposition to the act of sending any representa- tive tu Panama at this time. They did net enter into a discussion Of the con- dltIons on the Isthmus beyond saying that everyone knows what those coll diticns are and that the situation is still a matter of congressional inquiry
 Senator Cullom, chairman Io1 the committee on foreign relations, replied that there had been no intention. either in the committee or in the senate. of getting the nomination through surrep- titiously. and he said that it had been taken up as a matter of routine busi- ness. No vote was taken on MT. Nor Een's motion. but it has the effect of tying the matter up, as notice of the senate's action had not been sent to the president before the motion was enter .d.

NOTHING IS SACRED
Striking Drivers Interfere
 With Funerals
It Became Necessary to Call Out the Police to Prevent Disorders About the Churches.

Clycagd Dec. Sh9,- Ur1erstakers' wagons and street cars were used to convey the dead to the cemeteries to- day. In nearly every instance the funerals were watched by union pick cts who were there to see that no livery carriages formed a part of the procession. The. most prominent fu- neral Of the day was that of Judge Jo- mas Hutchinson, for fifteen years or the bench of the superior court. The taken to Oakwoods cemetery in an un- dertaker's wagon, while the private carriages of his personal friends were used for paIlbearers and immediate friends of the family.
 Some disturbance was caused by the funeral of Mrs. Anna Vlock, a Bohe- milan woman, who was murdered three days ago by her husband. The funeral was held in St. Procopius' church and a large crowd gathered on the outside of the building, some attracted by the fact that it was a murdered woman. and others by rumors of possible in reference with the conduct of the fu- Eeral.
 When Undertaken Linhart drove up to the church with his wagon, he was hooted and jeered hut no direct vio- lence was offered. The police used their clubs to press back the crowd.
 Police protection against strikers for funeral corteges on their way to the cemeteries was demanded of the chief of police by a committee of the Joint Livery association, f.nd was promptly promised by the chief. He ordered the police inspectors to afford every protection in their power, but refused to allow officers to be seated on or drive the vehicles bearing the bodies.

rines. The only official information on the subject will be given out at the direction of the secretary.
 At conference held this afternoon between Secretary Moody and Brig. General George F. Elliott, commander of the marine corps, the latter report ed that upon twenty-fcur hours notice he could get under way to Colon with the new Caribbean Sea battalion. which is under orders to assemble at Philadelphia. This battalion, which it is intended shall go on the cruiser Dixie, now on her way to Philadelphia from Colon. will probably sail between December 25 and January l, the eX- act time depending upon the condition of the Dixie on arrival and the supplies she may need.
 General Elliott has been informed that unless the isthmian situation en- ters upon a decidedly more peaceful phase in the meantime, he will com mand this battalion and upon his ar rival he will organize the three bat5ai- iCns of marines on the isthmus into a brigade, of which he shall assume s2- preme con mand. Although General FL liott will have a conference with the president before leaving, and will be in daily conference with Secretary Moody, from both of whom he will re- ceive instructions regarding his conduct Of operations on the isthmus, he will be given wide latitude, much being left to his own discretion
 There were several conferences al the navy department today, regarding the location of the camps for the ma. rines on the isthmus
 Lest the administration may be pu in the light of antio ioating the sen. ate's ratification of the canal treaty by assuming the obligations provided for in that convention, it has teer practically settled that General Elliot will not mass his forces along the Pan. anna border unless the safety of the re public absolutely requires it.
 It is believed a more effective schem, will be to distribute the three battal ions among towns and villages of Pan anna other than the cities of Panam; and Colon, leaving to the navy tn, protection of these terminals. Captain Harry Leonard, aSsis. an aide to the commandant of the marin, corps. whc lost his arm in the marcl to Peking and was advanced for bray cry has asked to be ordered to the isth mus.
 The matter is now under considera tion by Secretary Moody. Other off cers of the marine corps have applie; | for similar orders, though so far Cap tain Evans. aide to the commandant. il the only officer except General Elliott who has been definitely selected. There are several vacancies anon: the officers on marine force on the 18th reliefs going on the Dixie with Gen eral Elliott.
