of the question this fall, have been
brought face to face with the posi-

again Offering inducements to secure
gold. :.
Bankers say that our debts in
France are new maturing daily, in
considerable volume and that country
wants payments in money. In order
to make such payments bankers have
either tc buy exchange, or if exchange
cannot be obtained, to pay in gold,
Bills of exchange are exceedingly
scarce, it is stated and unless they
come forward in considerable vol
ume and quickly there seems to be
nothing in sight, it is declared, but
gold remittances to Paris.

SOCIALISTS PLAN FOR
DAY OF SILENCE
Demonstration In Hungary
For Suffrage.

BUDAPEST, October 12.-(Spec-
iaD-The reopening of the Hungarian
Parliament next Thursday will be-
attended y great demonstration
engineered by the Socialist party in
favor of universal suffrage 1t is
planned to have a strike for one day
in all branches of industry, and, if
the Socialists can carry out their plan,
Budapest will be city of silence.
The railroads, the street cars and
the omnibuscs VIII stop running, no
newspapers will be sold and every
industry and trade will cease, while
on that day laborers from all parts
of Hungary will assemble in front of
the beautiful buildings of Parliament
on the banks of the Danube to eX-
press their grievance.
In order to circumvent the Social
lists the Government has threatened
to dismiss every employe who refuses
to perform his railroad service and
many large employers of labor are
adopting the same course. The au-
thorities have forbidden any assem-
blage in the vicinity Of Parliament
and the police will use every endeavor
to confne the demonstrations to
the outskirts of the city, but as from
100000 to 100 coo men are expected
to come into Budapest on Thursday
this is likely to prove a difficult task.

place the general supervision of the

SALARY QUESTION. AGAIN.
Congress to be Beseiged. president
Walks in Rain.

Washington d. C.,--Congress is
again to be besieged by members OF
the Cabinet for an increase of salaries
this time, for their assistants This
increase is understood to apply to
first assistant secretaries only. 1t is
expected each Cabinet official will
recommend to Congress. IN his esti-
mates for the next fiscal year, that
the salary of his assistant secretary
be increased to So, 900 per annnm.
1t has leaked out that President
Roosevelt walked from sixteen to
twenty miles on the forty-ninth an
nlversary OF his birth. The start was
made about o'clock in the afternoon
10 a cold, pouring rain, and the route
led Into the suburbs of Washington,
where there are no sidewalks and
where the ground was soaked with
rain. The President stood the exer-
else we'll and apparently enjoyed it as
he repeated the program on the fol-
lowing day, again 10 the rain, and
walked at least ten miles.

THE CURRENCY QUESTION
President to Emphasize Recon-
mendations in Message.
ELASTICITY IS PROPOSED
Information About Taft's Move
ments in Antipodes.

Washington, D. c., Nov. r.
Marion Butler, former populist
senator from North Carolina, has a
plan which he thinks would auto
matically regulate the require
ments on money in crop-moving
season. He suggests that the gov
ernment should establish bonded
warehouses for the grain and cot
ton crops of the country and issue
warehouse receipts upon products
deposited therein, the receipts to
be accepted as currency.
In view Of the universally ad-
mitted scarcity of currency in all
parts of the country the President
will devote especial attention to
recommendations for currency re-
form in his message to Congress.
He has never dwelt with particu-
lar emphasis on this subject in any
of his annual messages, but he
now sees that something must be
| done before another stringency
comes around and he will repeat
with greater emphasis his recon-
mendation of last year. National
banks circulation is now limited
by the amount of outstanding
government bonds. Whether it
desires it or not. the country must
always maintain national debt,
so that national banks may have a
basis for circulation. Congress
will probably decide upon an
i emergency asset circulation, or
| some other means of permitting
the banks to expand greatly their
circulation in times of need, retir.
ing it in dull seasons.
Word reached the Treasury De-
partment on Monday, this week,
that because of reluctance to part
with the currency they have on
hand, national banks throughout
the country are declining to cash
pension vouchers, disbursing off.
