mo CURRENCY MEASURE NOW
COnferses Unable to Agree on Mu-
tually Satisfactory Measure.
VIII Recommend Currency Commits
isIation Till Next Session.

After an exchange OF views extending
over q period Of nearly three hours, the
conferees OF the Senate and the House
on the Aldrich and the vreeland emer-
geney currency measures decided yester-
day that there was no hope OF enaeting
currency legislation at this session. No
report will be made by the conference
committee to either house thus leaving
the conferees free to make another at
tempt TO harmonic their divergent views
when Congress reassembles In December,
II was agreed BY the conferees, how
ever, that q joint resolution for the crea-
tion OF a commission 70 investigate the
CAUSES of the recent panic and to report
upon a plan for a permanent currency
system and revision Of the national
banking laws should be introduced at the
present session and put upon the statute
books, if possible. before adjournment
This VIII be introduced in the Senate to-
day by Senator Aldrich 1t VIII provide
that the commission shall consist of nine
members OF the Senate and nine men,

upon which Congress may act There
may be opposition 70 this IN the House,
where there is a strong feeling in favor
Of putting outside experts on the COM
mission.
The differences which the conferees
could not harmonize were due mainly to
the insistence Of the Senate's representa-
tives that no measure which provided
for an asset currency could possibly pass
the Senate. II was maintained that the
character OF the securities provided for
in the House bill virtually included the
use OF a banks assets. The House con-
ferees made it plain that the House would
insist on the retention Of the clearing
house and commercial paper features Of
the Vreeland bill.

FOUR TREATIES RATIFIED.
Senate Approves Two with Japan
Regarding Copyrights.

In executive session yesterday the Sen
ate ratified four treaties, two with Japan,
relating to trademarks in Manchuria and
Korea, a general arbitration treaty with
Denmark. and one with Great Britain,
concerning wTeclkage and salvage and the
transfer OF prisoners in Canadian waters.
The treaties With Japan, relating TO
copyrights and trademarks are regarded
as highly important commercially. For
several years past the japanese have been
putting on the market goods bearing the
eounterfeited trademarks or copyright OF
American manufacturers. The effort to
correct the evil by treaty has been going
on for some time, and the State Depart
ment does not conceal its satisfaction that
the matter has been finally adjusted
Secretary Root appeared before the
Foreign Relations Committee IN the
morning to advocate the treaties.
The treaty with Denmark is similar 20
arbitration treaties recently made with
other countries, along the lines Of the
convention adopted at The Hague confer
ence.
Among a number Of nominations which
were confirmed in executive session was
that OF F. Lewis Dslby OF Roanoke, Va,
to be an Indian inspector.

Having appealed in vain to the Presi-

continued, he would now submit his ap-
peal to the Senate. believing that it
would sustain the principle for which he
contends No politics was involved, he
said. and he asked for the support of
Senator Aldrich particularly, pointing out
that Col. Stewart is a native of that
State. "a State small In area, but one
that has sent to this floor a leader who
has not only the courage Of his e0nvic-
tions. but a heart that responds when
question OF right or wrong Is involved p
Retirement was offered Col Stewart as
a means of escape. Mr.. Rayner said, but
so long as the officer retained ''a spark
of slumbering courage" and a sense Of.
honor he would not submit TO an alter
native that would mean eternal igno-
miny"
He intended to make no threats. the
Senator concluded. but he predicted in
forcible language that If relief were not
granted by those in authority. the people
themselves would force the authority OF
justice upon the President. as soon as 1t
realized the facts. "trampling with an
iron heel upon the desperate experiment
Of authority that the President has used.

The Pekin Gazette, the pubIica- tion of which, according to a recent telegram, has been suspended. Is very venerable patriarch among newspapers, since it is said to have made its first appearance something like 1000 years ago; but it is not as is often stated, the oldest journal in the world.
 This distinction belongs to the Tsing-Pao( or PeLin News), which was founded nearly twelve centu- ries ago, and was venerable when its younger rival, the Gazette. was cradled. Indeed, NJ. Hurat. French consul at Canton, claims d still earl fer birth for the News, which, h" says, was founded early in the sixth century, 500 years before a news paper was known in Europe
 The Tsing- -Pao, which is the times of China, now appears as book Of twenty-four pages, octave size. tied in yellow cover by two knots of rice paper, and it's price is about twenty cents a month. This is the edItIon de luxe, officially recognized by the emperor; there is also a popular cdl- ton.

The FIRM that
GETS The TRADE

The Southern Nevada Mercantile,
company is certainly doing the gro
Gerry and vegetable business in Tono-
pah, and one reason for the success
of the company is that It is liberal
advertiser. They not only advertise,
but the quality OF the stock handled
in this store is, constantly bettered,
and now on its counters can be found
the best which the metropolitan mar
kets afford. Better goods, lower
prices, and education of the public by
advertising. as to what the store has
is the motto of the management, and
it is a trade winner. If you don't be
lieve it, try trading with them for
! few days--and you'll get the habit
