PAYNE Will NOT RESIGN.
Postmaster General Has the Hearty Sup
port OF President Roosevelt and He
@ VIII Stay in Cabinet.

Washington, June 27.-The last
meeting of the cabinet before the
presidents departure from Washing
ton was held Friday.
In this connection it can be stated
authoritatively that the reports that
Postmaster General Payne contem-
plates retiring from the cabinet are
untrue. 1t is well known that his
health is not good and there is, of
course, a possibility that he might
suffer complete breakdown or that
hesmight be forced by the imperative
orders of his physician to give up his
work. But at this time the idea of
retirement is not entertained by him.
He has plated out his future work
in connection with the investigation
of his department and is anxious to
finish it. The president it is said,
has given expression to his own feel
ings in the matter by saying that he
would permit him to resign only in
event that it became a matter of life
or death.

"When the demand was made on

threat to pass an act taking practi-
cally all the profits out of the office

honest men have done, permitted
himself to be held up by a legisla-
tive sandbagger. When Mr.. Speed
came to me with the information
that a demand was being made on
him for money 1 promptly advised
him not to pay dollar. When, how
ever, on the advice of others, he con-

what 1 could to protect him. When

Honolulu, June 29.-The house of
representatives by the decisive vote
of II to 9 has put itself on record as
opposed to the coming thither of
more Americans. The vote was al
most exactly division by race, the
native Hawaiians voting against the
coming of more Americans, and the
whites in favor of opening the doors
to all who come. The natives avow-
eddy took the position that they did
not want more people to come here,
as, if they did, they would soon out
vote the Haxvaiians and the latter
would lose control of the legislature.

BILL MAY NOT PASS.
Speaker Cannon Antagonistic to
Elastic Currency Measure.
ae Says the Cry for Additional Financial
Legislation Comes from Eastern Spec
ulatOrs and Should Not Be 90
Needed by Congress.

Washington, June 29.-The senate
leaders, who have been in recent
conferences with view of agreeing
upon a plan of financial legislation
to be urged at the next session of
congress. are worried over the rather
direct information that Representa-
tive Cannon, in view of his certain
election as speaker of the house, has
consistently refused to discuss any
proposed legislation, except on the
most general terms, but he is known
to be opposed to the proposed legis,
lation for financial reform, as agreed
upon by the senate leaders. In re-
cent discussion of the subject with
friends here Mr.. Cannon grimly re-
marked that it would require more
than a conference of three or four
senator's to determine the charac-
ter of the financial legislation that
shall be considered by the coming
congress.
1t is no secret that Mr.. Cannon is
opposed to generally accepted plans
for providing an elastic, or, as he
terms it, a rubber" currency. He

provisions of the Fowler bill or the
Aldrich bill, which authorizes the
national banks to issue circulation
on other than government bonds, or
allows the secretary of the treasury
to accept other than government
funds in the nationall banks. Mr..
Cannon is himself the president of a
national bank and is very familiar
with banking and financial affairs in
the west. He takes the position that
the cry for additional financial legis
lation comes from speculative in
terests in New York and other east
ern money centers, and is not due
to any demand for money in the west
md south. He recently called atten-
ton to the national bank statements
from western and southern banks to
show that they have ample funds on
hand to meet all immediate demands
and are not worried at all over the
demand for money to move the
crops, or for any other purpose.

"The persistent effort which has
been made and is bsing made to
nullify the suffrage guarantees of the
fourteenth and fifteenth amendments
to the federal constitution is fraught
with as much danger to the peace
