To CALL CONGRESS IN
EXTRA SESSION.
Reciprocity with Cuba and Financial
LEGISLATION Will Be the Cues
lions Which the President
Will Stress in His
Call.

OYSTER Bay. N. Y. August 12.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt had as his guests tonight
at Sycamore Hill the members Of the
subcommittee of the senate committee on
finance which is engaged in drafting
currency measure to be submitted to
congress next fall. The subcommittee
consists of Senators Aldrich, of Rhode
Island. chairman; Platt, Of Connecticut;
Allison, Of Iowa. and Spooner of Wiscon-
sin.
Prior to the adjournment of congress
last spring this subcommittee was APP
pointed and authorized to sit during
the recess of congress to study the finan-
ciaI situation and prepare measure to
meet the requirements OF the situation
as the committee viewed it for introduce
ton when the senate should reconvene.
On this work the committee, sometimes
as individuals, part of the time as a
body. has engaged during the latter part
of the summer. Fog a day or two the
members have been the guests of Sena-
tor Adrich at his warwick residence,
near Providence. They are preparing
now to put into concrete form the re-
suits Of their investigation and labor.
Desiring to consult with President
Roosevelt regarding the work, the sub
committee came to oyster Bay late this
afternoon.
1t could not be ascertained definitely
whether draft or a currency measure
has been made and was TO be discussed
tonight or not; but, as the senators have
been engaged for two days at Warwick
With their clerks and steno8raphers, 1t is
reasonably certain that some progress
has been made toward the preparation Of
a currency bill.
The object of TIE committee is to as
certain the views of President Roosevelt
with defniteness in order If possible, to
meet them in the framing Of the meas
ure. 1t Is understood to be the desire
of all, including the president that the
bill should be ready for introduction at
the extraordinary session which tho
president has announced he will call
Monday. November 8. Prior to that time
the subcommittee will submit its draft
OF the proposed measure to the full re-
publican membership OF the seuate COM
mittec on finance or probably such other
republican senator's rs may be accessible.
1t is hoped that measure may be drawn
that will meet the approval of all repub-
liCan senat tors 50 that when it is intro
duced it may have the undivided party
support. 1t can be said that the presi-
dent is not welded to any particular
plan OF currency reform, 50 called, but
desires simply that practicable scheme
be evolved and put into the form of leg
islation at an early date that will rem
der the currency system Of the country
the more elastic and the less likely to be
affected by the fluctuations of values or
the demands for money at crop moving
seasons
1t is said TO be unlikely that any def
mite information concerning the work
he subcommittee h.
ed will be given to the public at this
time

appearance of the yellow fever at Vic
toria. Mexico. about 70 miles from Mon
terey, on the line OF the Monterey and
Gulf railway. the quarantine against the
yellow fever established hero has been
made more rigorous by the appointment

of railway traffic and would work great
hardship upon border merchants.
