CURRENCY COMMITTEE.
will Draft Bill to Correct Financial
Situation.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4,--The newly
appointed House committee on banking
and currency had its first meeting to-
day, The only definite action was au-
thorizing the chairman to appoint sub
committee OF five to draft and submit a
currency bill to correct the present ilnan'
cial situation. No hearings will come
before the committee until the sub.
committee has finished It's task and the
completed draft is in the hands Of the
chairman. The committee apparently
agreed It would sanction no move to
increase the bulk Of paper money but
would confne itself to consideration
of the best means Of injecting elasticity
Views were strongly urged that the laws
should be changed to prevent the absorp-
ton Of reserve moneys in national banks
by banks in reserve cities.

Harrison Says Worst ofthe Furry is

NEW YORK, Dec. 4.--That the coun,
try is already beginning TO recover from
the severe shock received in the recent
panic is the opinion of Hartman. In
an interview today he said: ''We are
on the rebound IRON the depression and
We are on-it to stay He also said that
there would be no falling back; that
underneath the whole situation here is
industrial stability. Too much work is
to be done and there is too much capa-
city in ,oing it to allow of long drawn
out depression. He spoke at length along
similar lines.

BLOWN ACROSS RIVER.
Port Patrick Carries Away Her Moorings
and is Nearly Wrecked.

PORTLAND. Dec. 4.-Caught in the
grasp of the southerly gale that swept
over the harbor this afternoon the Brit
ish ship Port Patrick was wrenched from
her moorings at the bunkers Of the In
dependent Coal Company and blown
across the river. She bore up against
Montgomery dock No. before her an
chors gained a hold, although they were
let go as quickly as possible after the
parting of the moorings.
Swinging around with her broadside
to the wind the big windjammer soon
gained swift momentum and would have
piled up complete wreck had not the
anchors been let go promptly. Even as
it was she came dangerously near brush
ing up against the dock with disastrous
force.
The yards struck the corner of the
dock roof, tearing part of it off. AS
soon as possible lines were gotten ashore
and the ship made fast. No one was
injured and the vessel had miraculous
escape in view Of the terrific wind and
the large number of vessels at anchor in
the stream.
Had the Port Patrick drifted few
hundred yards further she would have
fouled the large American four-masted
bark Acme and probably carried her
down upon the German bark Schurbek
which is at anchor about two ship
lengths below. Several other vessels an
chored down stream would have been
been placed in jeopardy.
The Port Patrick is in command of
Captain Sanity and has been ilischarging
coal at the Independent bunkers for sew
eral days. She had $50 tons in her hold
when the moorings gave way. This saw
ed her from turning turtle. Had the
hold been empty or nearly so it, is al
most certain that the vessel would have
toppled over when given the full force
of tine gale in the middle of the harbor.

California Fruit Growers Send
Memorial to Congress.
ASK REPEAL or ExCLvSIONACr
Cannot Obtain Reliable White Help and
the Exclusion of 0rientals Imperils
Great Industries and Exposes Them to
Loss and Ultimate Extinction.

MlARYSILLE, CAL. Dec. 4.-California
fruit growers in convention today
memorialized Congress for speedy ac-
tion in repeating the Chinese exclusion
act. The growers contend that long
trial and earnest effort will prove the
impossibility Of inducing reliable white
labor to engage in the primar yprocesses
OF production in orchard. vineyard. as
paragus field. sugar beets, onions, celery
and other great farming interests in
which ten million dollars are invested.
The memorial says that exclusion has
depleted the Chinese labor and the ex-
tension Of the exclusion to japanese
leaves those imperiled industries exposed
to enormous losses and threatened with
ultimate extinction.

TOXIC. Dec. A~-!1'he recall OF Wis
count Aoki. Japanese ambassador at
Washington, is the result OF his own
expression OF desire to resign, ami no
official announcement Ia expected until
after his arrival In Toxic, II Is now re.
garied rs foregone conclusion that
Ambassador Aoki will not return TO
Washington. The question OF his prob
able successor. In the event OF his resig.
nation is accepted, has been long under
discussion. The names mentioned In this
connection. include Baron kaneko, for.
merly special envoy 10 the United
States; Baron Chinda, vice minister OF
the foreign Office. and NJ. Takahira, at
present Japanese ambassador to Italy
and formerly minister Of Japanese at
Washington. 1t is now understood that
NJ. Takahira is first choice. Neither
Baron Chinda nor Baron kancko can be
spared. so Takahira will undoubtedly be
appointed II he Is acceptable at Wash.
ington. The Associated Press is assured
by the highest athority in the foreign
ofiice that the recall of viscount 0oki /,
not intended as reflection upon his
course. but aNpossible change at Wash.
ington has long been imminent. Neither
should the present action be construed
to denote the slightest change in the
friendly attitude Of the Japanese gov
ernment toward America on the immi.
grafton question.
In the course OF an interview today
this official said;
at is quite possible that Viscount
Aoki may not return to Washington. In
the event OF his resignation the govern.
ment of Japan will only appoint to the
position d person well knwn in America
whom the President knows and likes
and who has the convdence ofthe Ameri,
can people, The japanese government Is
making every effort to meet the wishe:
of the President and the people OF
America on the immigration question
and in appointing foreign minister
realizes the Importance Of having u rep
resentative In Washington who is moi
only acceptable and friendly to the
people, but Is acquainted with the pre-
vailing conditions in America"
A special dispatch from Washington tC
the Mainichedempo says that the Ameri
can public is inclined to think that the
recall of Aoki Is due to the determina'
tion on the part of the foreign minister
Hayashi, to pursue different policy
which will be antagonistic TO America
The official above quoted assured the
Associated Press representative that
such a construction was entirely erron'
eous. On the contrary, the immigration
question. he said, Is now nearer friend
ly solution than ever before,
Minister Hayashi is determined to ex-
ercise all the authority vested in the
foreign minister to control the emigra'
tion of laborers. 1--WE, are anxious y
said this official, "to avoid any sacrifice
of our treaty rights with America and
Canada, but we can and will control
the emigration to either country"

SUPPORT OF ADMINISTRATION
Object Of Gathering to Induce Congress
to Make Larger and More Adequate
Appropriations for the Improvement of
National Waterways and Harbors.

| WASHINGTON, Dee 4.-Prominent
officials of the National government, gov
ernor OF states, representatives of for
eign powers and members ofthe Senate
and House of Representatives, leaders in
all walks Of civil hfe in America par
ticipated today in the opening o. the
convention of the national rivers and
harbors congress. Nearly two thousand
delegates from every state in the Union
were present. 1t is expected the work
Of the Congress will SO impress the ma
tional Congress now in session as to in
duce it to make adequate appropriations
for the improvement OF the rivers and
harbors Of .the country. Elihu Root.
Secretary of State, gave assurance OF
the support of the administration in
the conclusions arrived at by the dele
gates. The Congress, owing to its repre-
sentative character and the prominence
and influence of the participants, prom
ises to give fresh impetus to the
popular demand for inland waterway
and harbor improvements. Joseph E.
Ransdell Of Louisiana is president and
]. f. Ellison of Cincinnati is secretaiy OF
the congress.
Joseph N--Teal, of Portland, Ore, rep
resenting the chamber Of commerce, is
here in the interest OF the several Ore.
gon projects, principal among which is
the Cello canal which will render the
Columbia river navigable for hundreds
of miles along its course and bring the
rich inland empire into closer relations
with the city of Portland and the sea-
board at Astoria.
Mr.. Teal is armed with statistics
showing the value of the canal and also
has much data concerning the Columbia
river, its bar and the immense business
with the Orient and domestic ports.
Although the present convention will
neither advocate nor consider any special
projects for river and harbor improve
ment, it will stand for broad and lib
eral policy by the national government
for all such improvements as have been
fayorably passed upon by the board OF
United States engineers and by them
recommended to the Congress of the
United States. The convention will de-
mand that more liberal proportion OF
the revenues derived from commerce by
the government shall be expended on
the natural waterways. Here
tofore that proportion has been 8 per
cent, By declining to consider any i'm
provements that have not gone through
the regular channels of the war depart
ment and Congress. the convention pro-
poses to avoid difficulties that would
otherwise arise. The rivers and har-
bors have many strong advocates in Con.
gress, including the Speaker Of the
Houses and President Roosevelt has de-
clared his intention to do all he can to
advance improvements of waterways.
Lew Anderson, who came here to at
tend the lumber ease hearing, is also a
delegate to the Congress from Oregon
and is assisting Mr.. Teal in his efforts
before the delegations.
Dr. N. G. Blalock, Of Walla Wall,
