Systematic Practice of Unnatural Vices
 in Chinese Compounds.

London, Nov. 15.-Both houses of par llament tonight debated the unpleas- ant subject arising from the recent un- authorized publication of the contents of the "Bucknill' report, which gives the results of ah inquiry into the con- ditions of Chinese labor in South Africa A1d which reveals the systematic prac- tiee of unnatural vices in the Chinese compounds there.
 The government has hitherto declin- ed to publish this report on the ground that it was confidential. Among the radicals the hope seemingly pertains that this scandal may be used in jus tidcation of the abolition of Chinese labor
 MT. Lehmann liberal declared the country was in the presence of a great moral disaster and asked the govern ment for information on specific points and what it intended to do in the mat ter.
 Winston Spencer Churchill, parlia- mentary secretary to the colonial office, replied on behalf of the government He said it had been decided not to pub- fish the "Bucknill' report because 1t was unprintable and because the evil ,dence upon which it was based had been obtained confidenially It was un- doubtedly true, MT. Churchill said, that such vices existed in many compounds, but the opponents of Chinese labor al- ways recognized that such a state of affairs was almost inevitable and the responsibility rested largely, in the first place, with Alfred Lyttelton, until late ly colonial minister.
 It was a matter, said MT. Churchill, that should cleft to South Africa, which was on the eve of responsible government, MT Lyttleton then declar- ed that no shred of evidence of this horrible and monstrous system of vice had reached him while in the Colonial office. Other members spoke on the subject and then Premier Campbell Zimmerman said the government had every reason to believe the evil would be diminished If not altogether eradi- cated The motion was eventually talked out.
 In the house of lords Lord Elgin, the colonial secretary, said the evidence of the "Bucknlll' report showed that the practices prevail in nearly all the com pounds, and in his opinion strengthens the views that the permanent adoption of system of Chinese labor was inn possible.
 Lord Lansdowne foreign secretary in the late administration defending the late government, said the opposition would, so far as possible, assist the government in stamping out the evil The subject was then dropped

arriving at New York to take up his duties in Washington must be compel led to inform the immigration inspectors whether he has ever been in prison or an almshouse, an insane asylum or SUD- ported by charity or whether he Is a polygamist or an anarchist, may be re- ferred to the state department at Washington as result of a refusal to- day of Joaquin Nabuco, Brazilian am- bassador, to answer the questions when he arrived here to-day from Liverpool.
 The immigration law requires that aliens arriving at this port shall answer those and other questions.
 The purser of the Baltic reported to the immigration inspectors that his manifest was incomplete owing to the ambassadors refusal. Immigration h. spector H. c. Marshall then endeavored to secure answers to the questions through MT. Chermant, the secretary of the Brazilian embassy, who accompa- nied MT. Nabuco MT. Nabuco again refused He was then told that the German and British ambassadors had given the desired information when they arrived, What ensued is unknown, but the immigration inspector secured an- swers to the questions.
 Concerning the incident MT. Nabuco said; T answered every question which I believed would add to the necessary statistical governmental information, but when it comes to asking questions regarding my beliefs and opinions it is different. I'm not visitor to this coun- try in the implied sense of the word, I am here as the representative of an- other power and as such I am, to a certain extent the guest of this nation. This is the ground I take, and for this reason alone I refused to answer cer- tain questions. There is no friction over the affair, and I would like that nothing be said regarding it."

PLAN OF CURRENCY REFORM
(continued from First Page)

Continued from First Page)
 currency are less extensive, causing redundancy. Banks are under the ne- cessity of parting with their reserve money to supply the demand for cur rency at certain seasons, although that demand would be quite as well satis- fled if banks could supply their credit notes Instead of depicting their reserve and causing a contraction injurious to business.
 To meet this situation the national banking act, the report says, should be % altered as to permit under ample safeguards the issue of credit bank notes which would automatically ad- just the volume to the demands for currency. Such notes can be issued un- der provisions which will insure ab- olute safety to the note holder and an ample supply of currency to the pub- lie
 James R. Branch secretary of the American Bankers association and sec- retary of it's currency committee, who has attended all the meetings of the bankers, made an explanatory state meht after the gathering adjourned giving the opinion in popular language of the members of the bankers com- mittee, of the operations of the propos- ed bill This statement in part sets out the following:
 The provision limiting the issue of credit notes to 40 per cent. of the bond secured circulation and not exceeding 25 per cent. of the capital stock is for the purpose of preventing any tendency by banks to sell government bonds, now held, to secure circulation, in order to avail themselves of the new circulation, Such action is taken because it is de- sired that the measure proposed, if en- acted shall not tend to depfess the market for government bonds. No part of the assets of banks are to be spec ially pledged to secure the credit notes but they aret to be protected by the same legal reserve now required against deposits in reserve cities 25 per cent. and in country banks 15 per cent. The members of the committee think that the claim of the credit notes of failed bank upon it's assets should not be given a lien to that of the depositors, but that the guaranty fund, with the addition of pro rata claim upon the assets with the deposltors, would af- ford adequate protection The mem- bers believe that the tax on the note issues will create a guaranty fund many times larger than necessary to meet the notes of failed banks.

MADAM HoMER's RECITAL.
A Large House in Spite of the Bad Weather-Professo Parker's Songs.

A Large House in Spite of the Bad
 Professor Parker's Songs.
 Fifteen hundred people, more or less, waded through slushy streets to Wool sey hall last night to hear Madam Lou ise Homer, star of grand opera, sing in the first of the artists concerts. The programme was an excellent one and repaid those who ventured out in the unreasonable weather A fair night would surely have given her a crowded house.
 It frequently happens that song re- citals by operatic stars have very little in them to interest the ordinary concert goer who is not up to the subtleties of Richard Strauss. In the consideration of the character of her audience Madam Homer showed good sense by including a number of English songs. The great singers do not like to sing in English, and a recital of songs in foreign lam guage loses enormously with an Eng lish-speaking audience, no matter what it's culture may be. In last nights pro- gramme the balance was we'll kept. There were two groups of songs In Ger man, then a group of songs in English by Sidney Homer, husband of Madam Homer; two French songs and, most appropriately, two songs by Professor Horatio Parker to end with,
 Madam Homer has voice of wonder full range, and while 1t Is bigger and deeper and more powerful than that of any contralto before the public, 1t Is , uncommonly sweet and sympathetic Madam Homer sang the Liszt "Lorelei' splendidly and put into it something of the mysticisms of the legend. Tn the Brahms song, "Sapplsche ode" Madam Homer had an opportunity to show some of those magnificent chest tones of almost baritone quality which distin- guish her voice. But of all the German group none was so effective as Wal delnsamkeltt,' by Max Roger, the ex- treme of simplicity. She was obliged to repeat the number before the audi ence would let her go on with the pro- gramme.
 MT. Homer's songs had less of musi- cal distinction than the songs of the great writers who preceded him on the programme, but it must be a difficult matter to set distinctive music to such doggerell as Oliver Wendell Holmes "The Last Leaf" MT. Holmes played the accompaniments to his own compo- sitions.
 Perhaps nothing was more thorough ly enjoyed during the evening than My Laddie," Scotch song by Thayer. The audience liked it so well that Madam Homer had to repeat it.. Professor Parker upheld the honor of American music, for his songs were among the best of the evening. The "Mermaid's Song" was enthusiastically encored and graciously repeated by Madam Homer.
 Lewis Williams, instructor in plano playing in the Yale department of mu- sic, was the accompanist. To his splen- did work at the piano the recital owed not a little of its perfection. MT. Will Hams has exceptional abilities.
