be discounted during that period of three years. it would practically make them worthless as security to be con- verted in cash. If needed during that time.
 .what Mr. Morse did make himself Irresponsible for. was that if the notes passed out Of his hands during the pe- riod in which he said that the notes should be renewed. he would be re- sponsfbie to see that they should be renewed, no matter in whose hands they happened to be ct that time. vyyeh this understanding of the agree ment. there cen be no question as to the fairness Of Mr. Morse's action In getting the notes discounted. If the check with which the discounted note was paid was made out in the name of Mir. O'Brien, to whom was the money due? To Mir. Morse, of course. It was in payment for stock delivered by Mir. Morse that the notes were made. So if the check In payment of the note was made out technically in the name of Mr. O'Brieh. whose name was on the note, it was really meant for MT. Morse. to whom the note had been as- signed. There are lot of facts in connection with this case which have not yet come out and which will put an entirely different aspect on 1t than has so far appeared from what has been published"
 MT. Britt said he did not yet kpow whether he woul dinterpose a dshur- Ter to the indictments. His legal act ion would depend upon a study of tho grand jury minutes for which he i'm tended to apply.
 After leaving the court room. Mir. Morse went to his office and was soon in consultation with former business allies regarding his entangled affairs. It was while so engaged that news was brought to him that another in- dictment alleging perjury had been found. I
 The perjury indictment. 1t was learn cd. it based upon a loan obtained last September by F. P. Thomas from the Bank of North America, of which Morse was then vice president. In testifying before the special grand jury. Thomas told about the loan, which was one of $50, 600. Alfred H Curtis then presi- dent of the bank. also testified to the fact that the loan was made.
 MT. Morse. who had been before the grand jury, was recalled and asked if such a loan had been made. It is al- leged that he denied that the money had been loaned to Thomas. either on his accommodation or without it. Thomas was again summoned and this time 1t is further alleged produced s letter which Morse wrote recommend inR the loan. Later Mir. Morse again appeared before the grand jury af bis own request and 1t is stated, explained that he desired to correct this teeti- mony. This he is said to have done and the testimony is said to have squared with what had been learned from other witnesses.
 1t iH pointed out, however, that the law ia such that corrected testimony before q grand jury may be made tho basis for . charge of perjury

The Ambassadors of Ave leading powers. when interviewed today. con- sidered hostilities as being almost out of the question. Their opinion is that the Turkish mobilization in Asia Mi- nor and the warlike preparations In Russia are parts in the gigantic game of bluR" which neither side win be able to carry to a finish on account of the lack of sinews of war. But they cherish no illusions over the speedy termination of the Austro- Russian dif- faculties in the Balkans. and look for- ward to "a long period of friction be- fore the powers again unite to exert the necessary pressure on the Sultan.
 Diplomats, friendly to Austria, en- deavor to acquit Baron von Aehrenthal, the Austrian Foreign Minister. of the responsibility of disrupting the Euro peau concert They said today that the prospect of carrying through the pro- posed judicial reforms in Macedonia had vanIshed into thin air before the Austrien scheme was proposed. The possibility that Turkey with Russia's 's encouragement might find means of evading her quasi-promise to permit the construction of the line is admit ted but the general opinion is that in this case Baron won Aehrenthai would have no alternative but to resign. Dis patches from London indicate that the rumor. believed to have been started in Vienna, that Ruseia contemplated the construction of railroad from the sation for the Salonflkf line. has been taken seriously abroad. but the Rus sian Foreign once emphaticaily reiter- ates it's denial that such project is entertained, the necessary money, above all, being lacking.

REPUBLICAN CONFERENCE.
Curreney nill is Discussed by Members
 of House.

Fl
 washingtou, Feb. 1.-The Republi- can members of the Committee on Banking and Currency entered today on series of conferences by which it is hoped to reach an agreement regard Ing tho recommendation to the House of a currency bill at this session.
 A feeling exists among the members that the country's financial system, embracing the fluctuations of national prosperity, ts the issue on which the coming Presidential campaign will be fought and that the sort of currency bill tc be passed at the present session of Congress will determine in great measure the shape of the financial plank to be inserted in the Republican platform at Chicago. The Republican members of the committee are very anxious. therefore. to go before the House with an unbroken front in re- porting favorabIy currency bill. Thus far some rather wide differences of opihlon have characterized the attitude of the majority members. It Is in the hope of closing these breaches that the conference series was inaugprated to- day.
 It is the general understanding that the DemocTattic members of the com mtttee will submit a minority report recommending the passage of the mi- nority currency bill introduced by Rep resentative John sharp Williams of Mississippi, no matter whether the Re- pubiicans finally agree to recommend the Fowler bill or some other measure in it's place. .$

 Not Guilty.

New York. Feb. 1Z--The legal en- tansiements of Charles ". Morse, for- nier banker snd promoter. are multiply ing.
 A third indictment. alleging perjury by Mir. Morse, during an examination before the grand jury. was found by
 the special grand jury today. a short time after he had appeared in court to answer the two indictments found against him last week. charging him
 with grand larceny. Arrangements
 were made tonight to have him ap- pear tomorrow before Justice Victor J.
 Bowling of the Criminal Branch of
 the Supreme Court. to plead to the per- jury indictment.
 Another turn in the case today was the serving of Philip J. Britt. counsel
 for Mir. Morse of summonses in two actions brought against the former
 banker. The compliments in these suits have not yet been filed. but 1t was explained that they relate to stock
 transactions which occurred some time ago. Morse's presence in the criminal Court building this morning was conn paratively uneventfuL If the f1nancier was worried there was no indication
 of it in his manner. When arraigned
 before Justice Bowling, he pleaded not guilty, through his counsel, and Justice OOWllnR Sef next MonQ8y IOr 1uftuef hearing. The latter then asked for two weeks in which to examine the. indict- ments and the minutes of the grand jury which returned the indictments.
 The representative of the District Att torney thought that one week was enough and Judge Bowling agreed with him and set next Monday as the date for further hearing. After his re- turn to his office. Mir. Morse's attorney, Philip J. Britt. made a statement con- corning the transaction upon which the larceny indictments rest.
 He said: The statement that there was a written agreement between Mir.
 Morse and Mir. O'Brien that the notes should not be discounted. is false.
 There was an agreement that the notes should be renewed for a period of three years. but there was no agreement that the notes should not be discounted. If the notes were to be continued for q period of three years and were not to

 John Kaufman. of Philadelphia. a de- signer of furniture who was In the employ of Sanderson when the latter was given the contract for Capitol furnishings, testified to the measure ments of the sixty-five sofas mentioned in the indictment for the purpose of showing that sanderson did not charge for as many fleet" as he might have under his contract. According to f<auff- mans testimony, sofa for which San derson charged the State S3s0 as con taining twenty-one feet. actually meas ured 64 1-4 .'surface feet and could have been billed at si.is2.

Sanderson furnished the State clothes trees at SS7 each as containing one and one half feet. The revised measurements made by Kaufman show each tree to con- tain 1-3 "surfece feet" and each should have cost the State $i5s.

NEW MILITARY BILL. Judge Advocate General of Army Ad-
 dreaaea the House.


 Washington. Feb. l7.-RTigadier- General George B. Davis, Judge Aovo- cate General. U. S. A.. addressed the House Committee on Military today in support of the Steenerson military bill for the organization along efrec- tive lines of the National Guard of the several States:
 Among the provisions of the bill is one specifically empowering the Presi- dent to call out the militia in defense of the country without previous dec iaration of war by Congress. This pro vision. General Davis remarked, is within the intent of the Constitution but lacks expression in the statutes when A man enlists In the militia, he said. he actually enlists as well in the regular army, and is subject at any time to be ordered into the field as nart of the Federal forces. the policy of the United States being to have, theoretically, available an armed and drified body of 250.000 at all times. 100 0O0 to take the field as regulars ana ,O0O as militiamen at the first call to war.
 To so increase the efficiency of the militia that 1t would be prepared at all times for call was the object of the bill. The bill provides for joint annual en- campment of the regular and militia forces, the pay of each to be the same. and authorizes the detailing of regular army officers to militia regiments.

 TWEEN RUSSIA AND TURKEY.
Fhe Situation is Taken serieusly Net Only fn Military Cfrcies, Bat Alao By Conservative
 Politicians.

St. Petersburg, Feb. 1.-The alarm : ist reports of the possibilities of hostfi- tiles between Russia and Turkey, which have permeated all strata of Russian society, have assumed the proportions of a veritabls war scare. to which the sensational press is devoting its big gest headlines. &
 The situation fs taken seriously not only in military circles. but also by conservative politicians. Guchkcn, the leader of the majority in the Dourna, announced his intention tonight of rais- ing at the next meeting of the commits siou of national defense, the question of the nations readiness for war. This, he believed, is of the most vital im- portancs, in view of the news from the Caucasus. He also proposes to in- terpellate the Ministry of Communica- tions on the ability of the railroads, particularly in the Caucasus and and trans-c -caucasia to Transport troops quickly to the southern and south western frontiers.
 Ths Doun,a. according to M Gochkoff, will be guilty of criminal negligence if it permits the country again to be drawn into war for which 1t is wholly unprepared. The surest means. to avoid rupture. he said. is serious preparation for any eventuality.
 M. Khvostchinsky. the Vice-President OI atu6 NOfUAtlnttOus aAoU tniuhS Nti~e the situation is grave and takes Issue sharply with number of generals who appeared before the commission. and said that the possibility of hostiii- ties this year was excluded.
 The general staff continues to give the situation the most serious consid- eration although as yet no reports have been received here regarding movement of troops in the interior. But persons arriving from Siberia say that for several months there has been an tunbroken movement of Siberian troops to the southwest in the direc- tion of the trans-Caspian district and Turkesfar. from which they could be most easily concentrated on the Turk ish frontier.
 Tifiis advices to the Associated Press indicate that preparations are steadily making tor any eventuality. A conpe- tent diplomatic opinion, however. takes a more optimistic view.
