Washington, May 9.-(Special. )-Since the Civil War the Senate Finance Com mittee has not had for study a more diff ficult problem than that which now en- gages the attention of the sub-commit- tee appointed at the last session to de- wise an improved currency plan. It Is the most important work the Committee has undertaken since it had to consider the purchasing clause of the sherman act, which, 1t will be remembered rent the Democracy in 1893, making a breach which widened in 1896.
 Senators Aldrich. Allison, Spooner and Platt of Connecticut, will during the sum mer visit various places and advise with acknowledged financial students and bus mess men, with the hope of arriving at something like a definite conclusion by the time Congress meets next December.
 That something is needful to be done is the conviction not only of the so-called money power, but of recognized business leaders generally. A very considerable change is demanded by them. Whether an effort will be made to rise to the oc- casiOn of taking care of the two billions of undigested securities" which Pierpont Morgan as much as indicates his people don't intend to lose. if they can help 1t, remains to be seen. One thing is cer-
 
 recommends will very likely be what the Republican Congress will adopt, and 1t is well just now to bear in mind that 1t will surely figure prominently in the next presidential campaign
 It Is understood by those who have sought to keep informed on the progress of the Aldrich committee that it will en- deavor to perfect the Aldrich bill which nearly passed the last Congress. The main feature of the bill was that an in- creased currency could best be accomp- lished by making State county and mu- nicipal bonds available for deposit in the United States Treasury, as security for the deposit of Government funds in na- tional bank Repositories. releasing Gov ernment bonds now used as such secur- ity for additional bank circulation.
 One of the serious phases of the prob lem is the rapidity with which the na- tonal debt will be extinguished within the next twenty-five years, and the fact that with that vanishing public debt na- uonal bank circulation will also be dis appearing. When the public debt is wiped out the basis of national bank cir culation will be destroyed.
 MT. Aldrich and his distinguished con- ferees. among whom there is no Demo- crat, are up against a vexing and trying proposition. The members of the Finance Committee of the Senate besides those already named, are Burrows, Platt of New York, Hansbrough, Republicans; Daniel, Teller, Money, Democrats. There are three vacancies yet to be filled, left by the retirement from the Senate of Jones of Nevada, Jones of Arkansas, and Vest.

Gossip from Washington

quently a report on the trade of Man churia, where Russia has obtained lodg- ment from which it seems to be general ly believed she will not recede, just made to the State Department by Consul Henry B. Miller, at New Chwang, Manchuria, is especially interesting.
 Consul Miller's report Is devoted to the trade of Manchuria and his conclusion is that it is plain that Russia will in time practically dominate the commercial and industrial affairs of the province"
 Russian subjects and Russian govern ment agents are building flour mills. fac tories and meat packing establishments, and are opening mines and selling goods throughout privileges which Americans are not permitted to enjoy. Russia is making vigorous efforts in the direction of capturing the cotton goods trade of the province, especially in drills and sheetings, and the consul advises American manufacturers to look more closely after their interests in this i'm portant market. Russian industries are encouraged by their government in the form of counties, drawbacks, reduced transportation on subsidized ships and railroads, etc, and it is the purpose of Russian manufacturers to initiate Amer ican goods and brands shown by con tract blanks which have fallen into the hands of Consul Miller.
 Manchuria, the consul says, is one of the. best wheat growing countries in the world. and within a few years, from be- ing a consumer, will become strenuous competitor for the flour trade enjoyed by Americans. Russian oil is driving out American oil, the decrease In the pur- chase of our product for the last year alone being from 3,172,OOO to 6O31sO gallons.
 The increase in foreign imports in Man churia for the past ter years has ranged from 100 to 500 per cent

LITTLE GIRL A HEROINE.
Sat in Buggy and Held a Runaway
 Horse,

Passengers on car No. of the Mont gomery Traction Company en route to Pickett Springs Park yesterday afternoon witnessed an incident which thrilled them and drew out applause for wee bit of a girl who proved to be a heroine.
 Soon after the car had crossed the tracks of the Seaboard Air Line Railroad about two miles out of the city horse hitched to buggy came tearing down the Lower Wetumpka road. In the buggy sat little girl holding to the reins and pulling at the lines with the resolution and coolness of a brave man.
 One of the wheels of the vehicle had come off and the buggy reeled to one side as the horse kicked and ran.
 For a time the young heroine looked to be in peril. but negro who was near by ran to the rescue and checked the horse
 The little girl was Henrietta Joseph daughter of J. I. Joseph of Chisholm and the negro who, by a manly act, pre- vented what may have been a serious catastrophe, was Ellis Cobb
 T wasn't afraid at all," said the little girl. ''He wouldn't runaway much, and l knew 1 could stay in the buggy"
 The little girl said she was 10 years old and after the incident she was decidedly cool.
 He wouldn't have run at all" she said referring to the horse with laughter in her eyes If the wheel had stayed on."
