LoNDoN's UNEMPLOYED.
Another Demonstration Today for the
New Ministry.

LONDON. December 13.-Another DEM
onstration of the unemployed occurred to-
day. but the diminished number of the
participants and the absence Of spectators
indicated waning interest in these opera
tons Of the Social Democratic League.
The paraders traversed Belgrave Square
in order to show themselves to Premier
Campbell-Bannerman. and couple OF rep
resentatives were admitted to interview
the premier, who had invited the president
Of the local government board, John
Burns. to be present
It is generally understood that the
Right Honorable john" as he Is now
known, expressed a desire for his appoint
ment to the presidency of the local govern
ment board so that he might deal with the
unemployed question.
The premier. replying to the deputation,
said he greatly sympathized with the men
who were out of work, but apparently he
had no panacea to offer. He said he might
be relied on to give the fullest consider
alton to the question, and added that he
had the advantage of the advice and
knowledge Of John Burns, who felt equally
with himself the necessity for doing every
thing possible for the unemployed.

THE CONTROLLERS REPLY.
What Has Been Ascertained Regarding
Banks Political Contributions.

The Senate today received from Secretary
Shaw the reply Of the controller OF the
currency to Senator Tillmans resolution
calling for information as to the revela-
lions of bank inspectors regarding contribu-
tons made by national banks for cam
paign purposes. The controller says that
there are about 100000 such reports on
file, and that while he cannot. without In
specting all of them. state their character.
he is confident that except in one or two
Instances they show no contributions for
political purposes since 1891. The excep-
tional reports showing contributions cover
transactions of 500 or 500 in small banks
and do not go into detail.
The controller says that when an ex-
aminer's report shows any unlawful use of
the funds Of a bank by its officers It Is the
practice of the controller to call the atten-
ton Of the directors of the bank to the
matter and to require them to cause a
restora ton to be made of the amount I'M
lawfully used. The names or locations Of
the one or two banks whose officers were
called upon to make good the sums con-
tributed to campaigns were not recalled
by the secretary. and to find them would
take many days. he said.

IN EXECUTIVE SESSION.
Potters' Association Favors the Presi-
dents Position on Railway Rates.

dents Position on Railway Rates.
The members of the United States Pot
ters' Association continued the consider
alton of the business of the twenty-sev-
enth annual convention of the organiza-
ton at the Raleigh Hotel this morning
between IL o'clock and II :45 o'clock Mat
tiers of routine nature were discussed,
and the session was of strictly execu
tive character.
The delegates started in a body to walk
to the White House at fifteen minutes to
IL o'clock, and at noon were received by
the President. The association heartily
indorses the attitude of President Roose-
welt on the freight rate question, and on
this and other occasions have taken steps
to acquaint him with the fact. Because
the members believe that as manu1ac-
turers of pottery used in all parts OF the
country they are being extensively dis
eliminated against by the railroads they
are taking very active part in the gen.
eral effort to bring about regulation Of
the rates.
President Wells called the convention TO
order again this afternoon shortly after
o'clock Before the adjournment this after
noon it is understood the annual election OF
officers of the association will be held, and
several resolutions now In the hands of
committees will be considered. One result
of the discussion OF the committee reports
will probably be the passage of ID strong
resolution from the transportation commit
tee indorsing the Presidents policy on the
rate question.
The exhibit of pottery in the red parlor
of the Raleigh Hotel which is open to
the public today and will be tomorrow, con-
tinues to attract considerable attention. One
of the most artistic and most elegant pieces
is a jardiniere made for commercial pur-
poses from the same mold from which the
beautiful jardiniere given by the people OF
Wheeling. w. Va, to Admiral Dewey was
made. 1t stands several feet from the
floor and is exquisitely decorated.
