MESSAGE IS SENT mi
President Transmits a Document to
Houses Of Congress.
FINANCIAL MEASURE
The Consideration of the Subject Is
Expected to Bring Up Payment
of Chinese Indemnity in
the White Metal.

Washington, Jan. 30.-Presidels
Roosevelt sent the following message
to congress:
81 transmit herewith a report from
the secretary of state with accompany
ing notes from the Mexican ambassa-
dor and the Chinese charge d'affairs ad
interim, which ask cooperation Of the
United States in such measures as will
tend to restore and maintain fixed
relationship between the moneys of the
gold standard countries and the silver
using countries | recommend that the
executive be given sufficient powers 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 governments.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT"
The message was referred to the com.
nittee on finance
In his communication, Secretary
Hays says:
1T is not asked that the United
States modify its monetary system and
it is distinctly disayowed that any
movement is contemplated for the re-
storation of international bi-metallism.
The opinion is expressed by the rep
resentatives of both governments that
consultation between the United States
and the European powers having de-
Tendencies in the Orient and the in
dependent countries where silver mon
ey 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 trade
with the silver-using countries. If such
a result can be achieved, and it is point
ed out that at least partial solution
has been proposed in the United States
in a bill now pending in the senate in
regard to the Philippine islands, great
benefits will follow to the trade of the
world by making easier the access of
the products of manufacturing nations
to the markets of China and the other
sslver-using countries.
The consideration of this subject
may have an important bearing also
on the payment of the indemnity due
by China to certain European powers
and to the United States by enabling
the Chinese empire to put her monetary
system upon basis which will make
it possible for her to meet these pay
ments in a manner satisfactory to all
the powers. This result. if it could be
accomplished, would be of the first i'm
portanee, not only to the United States
and to the other powers having a share
in the indemnity payments. but to
China herself and her future develop
ment."

card. The seven Of clubs was the card
drawn from the pack, and it was shown
to the spectators. but not to the magi-
clan The card was replaced in the
deck, which was shuff1ed and then
handed to one Of the spectators.
Look through the deck, please, said
Hermann.
The holder OF the cards did as re-
quested.

What was the card p

well, gentlemen said Hermann,
.if one Of you will kindly unlace the

There Is Decided Pause in the yene-
zuelan Negotiations.
Washington, Jan. 30.-There was
pause in the Venezuela negotiations
that approached perilolsly near a
breach. and the end is not yet in
sight. It all grows out of the atti-s
tude of the allies in insisting upon
preferential treatment for themselves
In the settlement of their claims As
foreshadowed in the London dispatch
es. Mr. Bowen has been informed of
the decision of the allies to insist in
his work for the moment Possibly
fresh and enlarged powers Will be
necessary to enable MIN to meet the
demands of the allies,
Two courses are open now to /. Mr..
Bowen, and it probably will be for
President Castro 10 elect which he
shall follow. He may. in his response
to The other claimant nations, than
the allies, take the opportunity to in
form the world that Venezuela yields
to overpowering force and that If she
cannot meet their claims they must
reckon with the allies themselves.
The other course is for him to de-
clare that his mission has failed, that
he cannot come to reasonable I'M
Outstanding with the allies because
of their uncompromising attitude and
therefore the case must go to the
Hague tribunal for adjustment.
