War Probable,

Vienna, May T. Fighting between
the car and the sultan in the Caucasus
looks like but a question Of days. At
the European capitals there has been a
disposition hitherto to discount predic-
lions OF a clash. The past few days
developments have wrought a change in
the tone of official talk. Reports from
the various powers consular representa-
tives in the Caucasus have had much to
do with the shift 10 opinion. Many OF
the consuIs are sure there will be war.

SENATOR TELLER predicted 10 the
Senate yesterday that the time might
come in this country when some one in
power, TO whom the people looked as
their protector, through the exercises Of
the power given him through ill-eonsid-
cred legislation, might disrupt the whole
republic. Mr.. Teller is 8 far seeing man
and fesls s dictatorship, and says we
are paving the way for Napoleon. He
showed that the danger is in centrslizs-
ton and warns against insidious en-
croachments upon powers of States. The
continuation Of such q policy, be de-
clares, may disrupt the American re-
public. Mr.. Teller is not the only man
who sees in the distance the man on
horseback,

THURSDAY EVENING. MAY7, 1903

BYA vote of lis to 81, the republican
caucus of the House Of Representatives
list night pledged themselves to support
q currency bill making commercial paper
security for the issue of banknote' In
times Of emergency. This pledge effec'
lively kills the Vreelsnd bill, which
provides various securities that would
better serve the purposes Of the financing
banks and New York speculative inter-
eats. Despite the apparent fairness OF
the resolution presented By the House
managers 10 the conference, declaring
the approval Of "tbe underlying
principle of the Vreelsnd bill, name-
Iy, the recognition through clearing
house associations of commercial paper
as a safe and logical asset for
emergency currency" there has beeD'
and is still, suspicion of trickery By
the speaker and his followers. Their
talk last night was not at all IN
accord with their resolution. 1t was
clearly discerned that the portion OF the
resolution authorizing the appointment
of a committee of FIVE to perfecta bill
and report 1t back to the conference con-
taiued the real essence Of the speaker
proposition. The effect Of this was Il
discharge the banking and currency
committee from further consideration o.
currency measures, and make 1t possible
to bring before the conference bill
which, if approved, could be taken I'M
medialely into the House.

taries where small savings could be de-
posted and q small rate of interest paid.

posed at first to confiDe the acceptance

mote thrift. Under the terms of the
bill the money 30 deposited 10 the post
Offices ia to be turned over 10 the national
