Washington. u G.. Dec. 0.
The adjournment, OF Congress from
Thursday to Mondd3 has given mem.
hcrs opportunity to catch their breath
and discuss public matters with more
deliberateness than was possible with
Congress in session several hours
every day. 1t was a noticeable fact
that among half.hundred members
OF the House. gathered In half
dozen groups in the hall OF the House
Of Representatives to-day. the currency
was tho topic. with postal savings
banks and parcels post coming in for
consideration In majority of instances.
1t Is the consensus OF opinion among
both Democrats and Republicans that
there will be no immediate currency
legislation. and it is even doubted
whether either the Finance Committee
OF the Senate or the House Committee
on Banking and Currency will report n
measure before the adjournment for THO
Christmas holidays. However, II is
probable that both committees will
make some report before that time.
That any measure will get through be-
fore the members leave for the vaca-
ton is not expected.

Richmond Was Unscathed.

Richmond has not been hurt in the
least by the money panic" said "A. l..
Adamson, banker and real estate
dealer of Manchester, who is here as
delegate to the National Rivers and
..arbors Congress.
There are two reasons TO be given
for Richmond's solidity. One is that
there was no initiation OF real estate
values: the other is that the bankers
foresaw the panic and got together
and by their action created sense
of confidence. The clearinghouse was
ready to issue certificates on demand
and the Very fact of this readiness
made the people retain confidence IN
the banks. =

we'll as the banking business. and /

Large sums of money are no

honest business--where the goods

would hardly have suspected that the
quiet. wel1-bred gentleman in neat
suit of dark check, who had a pleas
ant word for everybody, was the
champion roper of the world, brought
out to Honolulu to take a star part
in the Wild West Show. His sombrero
was packed away with his other pro-
fessional properties. and he did not
talk shop unless asked to do so. He
might have been mistaken for a civil
engineer, or some other well-to-do pro-
fessional man. His training as a rider
of obstreperous broncos stood him in
good stead in the plunging and rolling
of the ship, which struggled for three
days in terrific seas, He was one of
the few who was not sea-sick He
did not miss a meal, and moved about
easily and freely, good training for
the hardest job of roping that he

When asked about the long-standing
feud between the cattle and sheep
ranchers in Wyoming-the conflict
that furnished Owen Wister with some
of his best material-he said that the
government had taken a hand in the
matter some time ago and that it was
being settled, but he thought to the !
of the cattle men. The !
method pursued by the government is
to order down the wire fences around |
lands that the cattle ranchers have |
been allowed to, use, so that they may |
be taken up by the settlers wanting /
small tracts of from $50 to 300 acres. !
Mr.. McPhee was not very hopeful of
operating profitable cattle ranch on
/ small scale. Large tracts were nee
sssary to accommodate large herds, so
hat they could move from one graz
ng tract to another when the grass
vas exhausted.
But he spoke approvingly of the
course that had been pur-
ued by the government, after the
irst few months, when there was a
title undue severity. Now the ranch
wner can go before the United States
authorities and pledge himself within
given time-thirty days, or soto
omply with the law and take down
he condemned wires, and he is given
he time without objection.
