wIscoNslN's NEW SENATOR.

Washington, Jan. 4.-After waiting for almost a year R. M. LaFollette ap- peared in the senate when it recon vened today after the holiday recess to claim his seat as a senator from Wis consin and the oath of office was ad- ministered to him by Vice President Fairbanks. The ceremony was wit messed by a crowded gallery, which manifested much interest in the pro- ceedings. This interest was greatly heightened by the fact that Mr. La Toilette was escorted into the senate chamber and to the vice presidents desk by MT. Spooner, between whom and MT. LaFollette there has been in recent years a difference of opinion as to party and public policies amounting to personal antagonism. Neither sena- tor displayed any trace of such feeling today. Mrs LaFollette was among the spectators of her husbands initiation into his new sphere of public duty.
 The senate discussed at some length a proposition to reprint a magazine article by MT. Newlands and also a resolution for the regulation of senate patronage. Both were adopted. A re- solution calling for Information con- corning the status of affairs in Santo Domingo was presented by MT. Till man was made and an unsuccessful ef- fort to secure immediate consideration of it. MT. Gallinger had expected to open the debate on the merchant mar iue shipping bill today, but when the bill was laid before the senate he ask ed to be excused from talking until next Monday. when the bill will be formally taken up as the unfinished hnSinaSS

pressure to sell and support to prices seemed entirely lacking resulting in an uninterrupted decline up to the close. which was active and weak. The shares most vulnerable were those which have been the leaders in the re- cent bull speculation, especially the metal stocks. Anaconda fell to B I-2 points below last night and rallied one closing 34 1-2 lower. Other losses were: Amalgamated Copper, 8 3-S; St. Paul l l-4; Chicago and Northwestern. ?: Delaware and Hudson, 4: General Electric, IS; Great Northern. pfd.. 5; Louisville and Nashville, l 3-4. Northern Pacific, A. Peoples Gas. 1 I-4; Reading, 2, and Virginia Chemi- cal, IS. These declines occurred in spite Of the fact that call money. whila still firm was easier than for some days, loans having been made as low as eight per cent.
 After the close of the market. Mir. Schiff made this supplementary state ment: My remarks were dictated simply by the conviction that some thing must be done to correct the in elasticity of our currency system. If we gre not to run in time into great disaster. If the president could be made to see that this is question of vastly more importance to the ma terial interests of the country. than that of railroad legislation, to which he has devoted himself with such ad- mlrabie energy, congress would soon set at work to remedy our circulation evil !n . manner which would safe guard our prosperity"
 Tn tha course of his remarks at the chamber of commerce, MT. Schiff said: We have witnessed during the past sixty days conditions in the New York money market, which are nothing less than disgrace to any civilized coun- try. There must be a cause for such conditions. It cannot be the condition of the country itself. for wherever you look there is prosperity. prosperity-as We never had 1t before. It cannot be that the speculation which prosperity always brings can be the sole reason for the conditions. Other countries have had wider speculation than the United States. In France, in Germany, in England speculation is rampant. The cause is the insufficient elasticity of our circulating medium

Washington, D. C., Jan. 4.-(Special) The fact that no attempt was made by house leaders today to bring up the joint statehood bill is due to the discovery that the opposition has gain ed much ground during the recess. The idea of Speaker Cannon and his lieu tenants that the action of the recent republican conference would be regard ed by all republicans as a caucus ac- tion and therefore binding was erron- eous and they are now trying to find out just where they stand.
 The speaker hes had a long inter- view with the president on the subject and his henchmen are urging every re- publican who is supposed to be Oppos- ed to jointure to cease opposition. As the full extent Of the injustice of merging Arizona and New Mexico be- comes better understood, MT. Tawney the leader Of the opposition to joint ure. finds his position constantly grow ing stronger. He may be depended upon to put up the strongest possible fight against the bill and there are many who believe he will succeed.

THE PHILIPPINES TARIFF.
A Question Which Will Not Be Quick
 ly Disposed of.

Washington, Jan. 4.-The cause of the Filipino was advocated on the floor of the house by the republican leader, MT. Payne, for nearly four hours to- day. He represented the views of the majority of the ways and means com mittee regarding the reducing of duties on sugar and tobacco to twenty five per cent of the Dingley tariff rates and admitting the other products of the is land to the United States free of duty. Before he began and following MT. Payne's speech brief discussions indi- cated that thare is to be a protracted debate on the measure and that the republican opponents representing the cane and beet sugar interests of this country will speak and vote against the bill.
 The presidents annual message which caused . seven day discussion in the house preceding the holiday re- cess, was disposed of i'll twenty minutes at the beginning of the days session. The particular question which was the cause of contention-which committee should get the insurance questiOn-was temporarily settled by the adoption of

Banker Jacob SChiff Says it May be Avert
 ed By More Elastic Currency
His Remarks Are of So Much Weight That the New Yor Chamber of Commerce Immediately Besrs Itself Into Action.

New York, Jan. 4.-UnIess there is currency reform a panic beside which former panics will seem insignificant was predicted by Jacob H. Schiff, head or the banking firm of Kuhn, Loeb and company, In a speech before the New York chamber of commerce today. MT. Schiff said he did not regard such a panic as imminent, but believed it will come unless something is done to re- medy the lack of elasticity of the cur rency system. He declared that he did not favor the plan proposed by Secre- tary of the Treasury Shaw for the re- lief of the situation, it being his opin- lon that the secretary's plan would aid speculation rather than legitimate business. MT. Schiff favored a cur rency based OF commercial paper as more helpful to the general business interests of the country.
 The speech created a sensation in financial circles and caused a sharp break in prices on the stock exchange. The meeting of the chamber was at tended by large number of business men and financiers, and a resolution on the subject offered by MT. Schiff was unanimously adopted
 This resolution was as follows:
 Resolved, that it be referred to the committee on finance and currency (of the chamber of commerce) to consider the recommendation of the secretary of the treasury made in his report to congress Dec. 6, 1905, to permit nation al banks to issue a volume of addi- tional government guaranteed currency equal in amount to fifty per cent of the bond secured currency maintained by them, but subject to a tax of five or six per cent until unredeemed. It is furth- CT resolved, that the committee on fin ance and currency submit a report at the next monthly meeting Of the cham Der upon the aforementioned recom- mendation of the secretary of the trea- sury, together with any other measures which the committee may be able to suggest as efficient and practicable for the attainment of the purpose for which the recommendation of the sec retary of the treasury has been sub mitted to congress.
 When the tenor of Mir. Schiffs re- marks became known in Wall street their effect was shown almost instantly in the stock market. There was a
