The Compromise AIdriCh-VreeIand Bill
 Passed by the House
It Will be Similarly FavOrably Acted Upon In the Senate but the Time for Vote is Not Yet Announced

the proceedings of the house today was centered in the report of the conferees' currency bill. After an hours debate the report was adopted by 166 to 40, all the democrats vot- ing against it. Fourteen 'insurgent'' republicans voted with the opposi- ton. The debate. by unanimous con- sent, was fixed at one hour. After the report was agreed to, the mem bers vanished. and it was with great difficulty that a quorum could be obtained on subsequent roll calls.
 Discussing the report, Mir. Class of Virginia said that it enjoyed the unique distinction of having been signed by every one of the repub- lican cOnferees and not approved by a single one. Fifty per cent of it." he declared, ''is house infamy, and fifty per cent senate infamy, thereby making the whole bill bad"
 Ollie James of Kentucky said: You have 100000 idle men and you say you will put them to work. Would you put them to work under the provisions of this bill?" The re- mark drew from the republicans hoots and jeers, which were offset by democratic cheers and applause. Facing the republicans, Mir. James said: You will howl worse when the people get a chance at you in November"
 MT. Cochran of New York inquired if there could be any such thing as a makeshift currency. He said an emergency was a failure of banks to meet their obligations, their incapaci- ty to pay bills over the counter. Such incapacity in individuals. he said, would be called bankruptcy, which necessitates an immediate surrender of such capital as the individual has to be placed in the hands of credi tors and his exclusion from the ranks of business. But when this condition overtalIes a bank, he said, it is not to be considered a failure or bank ruptcy, but an emergency and the government is to step in and relieve it.
 MT Williams took the floor for three minutes. Addressing the speak CT he said the bill ought to have been entitled the "CannOn-Aldrich emergency bill" Recently. he said the house had held up the Aldrich

It will not do for the republican party to go to the country with absolutely nothing. must have something that can be called something by somebody some where"
 MT. Williams read from recent re- marks by MT. Burton. the purpose of which was that he opposed the AL drich bill. Facing that gentleman, he said: Now you bring back the Aldrich bill. I repeat to you that mo-

THEY'RE ALL
 BRYANITES
The Democrats Who Are
 Gathered at Tucson
Mark Smiths Friends Say They Will Get Him an Endorsement.

Tucson, Ariz., May 27. (SpeciaD.- The town is awhirl with excitement tonight on the eve of the territorial democratic convention TOT the choosing of six delegates to the convention at Denver. Caucus follows caucus and out of all of them have come reason 1 ably accurate predictions of what the morrow will bring forth
 It looks tonight as if five of the del- egates would be: T. A. Riordan of Flagstaff, Thomas Weedin of Flor ence, M. J. Cunningham of Bisbee, J. P. Dillon of Prescott, and w. T. Webb of Graham. The sixth member will probably be a Pima county man, eith- CT Frank H. Hereford or A. W. Forbes, with the chances in favor of the form CT.
 For the endorsement for national committeeman, s. J. Nicholson of Phoenix, has the inside track and will get the endorsement if he can get the undivided support of his own delega- tion. But tonight there is some doubt about that for there is strong work be- ing done for w. D. Bell of Phoenix. for delegate and it is thought that a part of the Maricopa delegation may sacrifice Nicholson for him. Such a fight however would probably result in neither getting anything.
 But if Nicholson is backed by a solid home delegation, he will have little opposition for Charley Hoff of Pima is already regarded as out of the race This matter and the fight between Forbes and Hereford for the delegate ship have been the main subjects be- fore the caucuses this afternoon and tonight.
 The friends of Mark Smith have been caucusing over the proposition of endorsing him for renOmination and they give out tonight that that will be done. There will be a bitter fight against it by the adherents of Engene Brady O'Neill who are confessing their weakness tonight in the argument that the convention tomorrow is not to be held for the purpose of endorsing can .didates for delegate 10 congress, but to select delegates = the national convention.
 There will be no opposition to the most rigid instructions for Bryan. It is said that no opposition has devel- Oped in any of the caucuses, but that on the contrary the democrats of the different factions are wing with each other for the position of the most ar dent Bryan man.
 There are nearly 100 delegates here tonight embracing the most of the leaders of the party. Among them are Ben Crawford of Graham, G. w. P. HuDt Of Cila NJ I Cupniuphar, of Cochise, Joe Dillon and Johnnie Rob- insOn of Prescott and nearly a dozen members of the MaricOpa delegation. Tom Weedin of Florence and w. E. Marvin of Yuma.
 The territorial lodge of Redmen is also in session here. The indications are that Globe will get the next grand lodge.

Washington, May 27.-An emer- gency currency law is assured. The currency question holds it's place to- day as practically the only subject for consideration at both ends of the capitol. and when both houses ad- journod the compromise bill which
 was drafted by the republican con ferees had received the sanction of the house and had been presented to the senate, where it was announced that it would be taken up tomorrow, where it will be passed when a vote is reached.
 The day began with a continuation of the conference between the re- publican representatives of the tw0 houses. This resulted in a complete arrangement which being later pre- scented as a matter of form to the democratic conferees was shortly af- terward presented to the house. There it was taken up at 9 o'clock and discussed for an hour and passed by a vote of 16O to 140. The house had no sooner recorded its verdict than the bill was hurried to the sen- ate shortly before o'clock.
 The conference report was read and after its reading Mir. Aldrich an nounced that tomorrow after routine business he would move to take up the report and continue its consider ation until it was disposed of. In re- ply to a question by Mir. Culberson, MT Aldrich stated that the demo- cratic conferees of the senate and house had not concurred in the re- port
 The democratic senators spent much of the day in informal confer ences as to the proper course to pUr sue and decided upon a conference to be held tomorrow as the means of affording opportunity for an ex- change of views without binding anyone It was decided to summon all absent democratic senators to re- turn.
 Practically the only point remain ing unsettled is when the vote shall he aken. No one doubts that the report will be adopted and the bill carried. The time of voting and the final adjournment depends largely upon one man, Senator LaFollette- So far as they have spoken, the demo- crats are inclined tc permit final ac- tion after a comparatively brief con sideration They simply desire an opportunity to enumerate what they believe to be the objectionable fea- lures of the new bill and also to point out the supposed inconsistent cies of the republican leaders.
 MT. LaFoIette refused to outline his probable course further than to say that he would vote against the ,,ayt- hill He was in consultation with the democratic leaders during the day and his bearing was such as to lead to the conclusion that if the democrats would agree to fight the measure he would assist them
 MT Aldrich does not expect to speak on the-bill beyond a brief state ment.

body wanted the miserable makeshift that passed the house and I told you that you merely wanted to go into conference so you could get back with the Aldrich bill"
 The debate was brought to a close by MT. Burton, who said the incom- potency of the democratic party to rule the people was never more em- phatically displayed than by it's course in connection with the cur rency legislation.
 The conference report on the om- nibus Indian lands bill and the sem ate bill granting obsolete ordnance to various institutions and organizations was agreed to. After passing the bill revising the tariff laws of the Philippine Islands and placing agri- cultural machinery, implements and other articles on the free list, the house adjourned.

ITS DISAPPOINTMENT NOT APPREHENSION
That Is at the Bottom of the Pres ent Depression in Stocks.

New York, May 27.-Further spec ulative- liquidation was very obvious in today's stock market, during the progress of which prices were car ried to a lower level than had been touched since the movement began the latter part of last week.
 While selling now in progress need not represent fears of coming unfav- orable events it must be accepted as a reflection of certain disappoint- ments over the effect of such fav- orable developments as have Oc- cured. The rebound from extreme depression was particularly violent, leaving stocks more vulnerable to a revival of rumOrs impugning the sol vency of the smaller roads Violent breaks in this class of today's mar llet aided materially the bear cam paign. Bonds were easy.
