SMOOT MAY REPLY.
Norman Senator Given Opportunity t.
Answer Many Charges.

The Senate committee on privileges and
elections met today to outline a policy to
be pursued in Investigating the protests
filed against Senator Reed Smoot being per-
mitted to retain his seat, and decided that
before taking further steps in the matter
Senator Smoot should be given Opportu-
nifty to make reply to the charges.
Senator Burrows, chairman Of the COM
mittee, was instructed to notify Senator
Smoot of the decision of the committee. and
to request that whatever reply he may de-
sire to make shall be in writing.
In addition to the innumerable petitions
filed with the committee for the expulsion
of Senator Smoot, two protests from citi-
zens of Utah were presented and briefly
considered by the committee. These pro-
tests charge him with being a polygamist.
They also charge that the Mormon Church,
of which Smoot is an apostle, holds its own
laws to be superior to those of the state.
and they contend that the church still
stands for polygamy.
Neither Senator Smoot nor his opponents
were represented at the meeting, and for
that reason members Of the committee
avoided taking any action which would in
any manner show the sentiment of indi-
viduals.

MORE TREASURY CLERKS.
Growth Of Redemption Work Calls for
Larger Force.

Acting Secretary Taylor of the Treasury
Department has transmitted to the House
a letter from United States Treasurer Rob-
erts, submitting an estimate for twelve ad-
ditional employees, rendered necessary by
reason Of increased redemptions. Mr.. Rob-
erts explains the estimate briefly as fol-
lows:
THE change of large denominations of
government currency into those for smaller
sums is SO rapid and continuous that the
redemption grows month by month. The
increase in redemptions for the first quarter
of the current year was 22.1 per cent in
pieces and 1917 per cent in amount over the
like period the year before. Since October
l the pieces redeemed are II per cent
greater and the amount 1875 per cent
greater than from October / to the like
date of 1902. This is in addition to the in
crease In pieces from 1901 to 1902 of 23.8
per cent, and from 1902 to July 1, 1903, of
%. Il per cent.
by reason of these conditions an addi-
tional transfer Of twelve persons has been
made to this office since the estimates for
the fiscal year 1905 were submitted. 1t
will be necessary to increase the estimates
heretofore presented by that number, and
recommendation is presented that more
clerk at 81 200, at 81 600. 2 at $500, ex-
pert counters at $500, and 4 more expert
counters at $72O shall be included in the ap-
propriations for the next fiscal year.

ed by the Islanders.

Francis B. Loomis. acting secretary Of

of a letter from the acting governor of
Porto Rico and resolutions adopted by the
executive council of the island, urging Con-
gress to adopt the legislation proposed at

thor1ze the filing in or dredging of such
lands. and to authorize any of the above

hrst recommended by the chief Of engi-
Eeers."

DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS.
Senators Met to Discuss Proposed
Amendment of Cuban Bill.

Tho democratic senator's held caucus to-
day for the purpose Of discussing the ad-
visibility of attempting to amend the Gu
ban reciprocity bill, but adjourned to meet
again next Monday without arriving at
any conclusion. The caucus was a spirited
one, and was sharply divided On the point
at issue. some Of the senators eontending
that numerous amendments should be pre-
serted and others holding out against any
effort whatever to change the character or
the BIN and standing for straight party
vote against 1t. The caucus continued until
after the beginning Of the session of the
Senate.
The caucus also considered some COM
early adjournment of the Senate Thursday.
Senators who filed these complaints ex-
pressed the opinion that the Thursday ses-
sion should have continued, In oder to
afford opportunity for speechmaking. and
some of them suggested that an effort
should be made to extend for day or two
the time for discussion, which would have
the effect of postponing the final vote be-
yon.i next Wednesday, the date unanim' 1:-
ly agreed upon for the vote.
Senator German presented the difficulties
of changing a unanimous understanding,
and it was ultimately decided to allow The
present arrangement to remain undistucbed
According to agreement between the par
ties the time on Tuesday and Wednesday
is to be evenly divided between the repub-
lcans and democrats. The suggestion was
made in the caucus that as the republicans
had been responsible for the early adjourn
ment Thursday they should be willing to
at least give the major part of the rer:ain-
ing time to the democrats. This proposal
was considered at length, with the under
s,snding that II the time for vote cannot
be exterded 1t will be impossible to ii5ruro
the agreement in regard to division of
time.
The only important vote taken by the
caucus was on a motion offered by Senator
Berry eliminating the five-year provision of
the bill and most of the debate was upon
this proposition. 1t broadened, however, in
to discussion of the general question us
to whether the bill should be amended in
any particular. Many of the senators
spoke, but majority of them expressed
themselves as unfavorable to amendments.
There was especial objection to the Berry
amendment because it was considered tnat
its adoption would be a violation of the
treaty with Cuba. The motion was declared
defeated without a division.
Senator Teller expressed the opinion that
the bill should be SO amended as to provide
that Cuba should adopt the laws Of the
United States for the exclusion Of Chinese
but this proposition was not brought to a
a vote.
Senator German expressed the opinion
that in view Of the treaty the best policy
for democratic senators is not to offer any
amendments.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
COLUMBUS. Ohio, December 12-Al-
though the democrats of Ohio cut very
small figure in the election this year. the
movements of their. leaders in preparation
for representation IN the national demo-
cratic convention next year are scarcely
less interesting than what is going on in the

that beneath it Johnson 1nfsht be buried

johnson Planning for Next Year.
Mayor johnson is already planning to
have part in what Ohio does in the ma
tional democratic convention next year.
He wants to be a member of the democratic
big four" and the ti-Johnson democrats
are determined that he shall not be.
Whether he shall be SO honored or not is to
be decided by the next democratic state
convention. by which the delegates at large
will be chosen. johnson will have some
strength in that convention, but probably
not enough to control 1t. He is sure to con-
troll the delegates from CuyahoEa county,
and though he did not carry the county In
November there was very creditable dem
ocratic vote cast there In all other coun-
ties there was a large decrease in the
democratic vote. The scratching Of tickets
by anu-Johnson democrats will therefore
have the result in next years convention OF
helping Johnson, for while the ant1-Johnson
representation will be generally cut down.
the Johnson representation will at least
hold its own everywhere, and In some
places be largely increased.
Hopes to Be Member Of "Big Four"
But Mayor Johnson viii be in the
national democratic convention as dele
gate, anyhow. II he fails to make the
"big four" his own district will send him
to represent it. or course he will be there
as an ardent advocate of whatever William
J. Bryan wants the convention to do. John
r. Mclean Is sure to be ons of the four
delegates at large. John II. Clarke. the
gold democrat. who ran in the late cam
paign as the candidafe OF the democrats
for the United States Senate. will not be
considered. He is even more generally op-
posed by the democrats than Mayor john

of President Roosevelt

said. Il have been In favor of the nomina-

state wants him nominated.
THE President Is very strong in Kan

the country that his nomination is the
only one that can be thought Of by the

Michigan Strong for Roosevelt.
Senator Alger replied promptly when
asked concerning the outlook for the pres
idential nominations:
Michigan is strong for Roosevelt. No
one else is wanted there for the nomination.

Arkansas Republicans.
National Committeeman Powell Clayton
Of Arkansas said to a Star reporter today
The republicans of my state are for the
nomination of President Roosevelt. They
feel that he has earned the honor, and
that 1t would be dangerous at this point
to follow the behests of Wall street and
throw him overheard. Senator M. A. Hanna
stands high in Arkansas. but the repub-
licans Of the state have taken him at his
word that he is not a candidate, and the
delega ton. In my opinion, will be unit for
