Washington. May 2G.ryhe session
| of the senate dargged aorrg today IN
such an unimportantsway that little
effort was required on the part of the
managers of the tilibuster to occupy
the time by dilatordy tactics. The
conferees on the currency bills met
during the day and the senate merely
kept in session in the hope that some
thing might be done toward substan-
tial progress in the work of closing
up the opposition.
During the day a bill was passed
amending the navigation laws in
many minor respects and resolution
was considered calling for the names
of former postmasters who served in
1864 to 1874 and who have been ad-
judged by the auditors entitled to ad,
ditional compensation.

THREE MEETINGS
YESTERDAY
BY SENATE AND HOUSE CON-
FEREES ON Tt,G CURRENCY
MEASURES.
TENTATIVE AGREEMENT
Reached at Third Upon Which Com
promise Will Be Based to Be
Reported Tomorrow-Can-
non Says it Will Pass.

Washington, May 26-The senate
and house conferees on the currency
bills held three meetings today and
at the third one, which did not ad.
jaurn until $50 O'Clock reached a
compromise agreement which the Re
publican members of the conference
are to report at an adjourned meeting
tomorrow forenoon. At the con clu-
sion of the final meeting this after
noon the probability of reporting a
compromise bill seemed a certainty.
Following are the main points of I'M.
derstanding that had been reached:
The reserve provision in the Vreeland
bill, calling for the retention of 25
per cent in central reserve cities and
Is per cent in other reserve cities,
is reduced to straight ten per cent
reserve without reference to classifi-
cation of cities.
Higher rating is given to state
and Municipal bonds than to other
securities upon which an emergency
currency may be taken out of banks.
hN hihohit VI ClICuldtluu lSSudDle
upon commercial paper basis is
limited to forty per cent of the capital
of the applicant bank, instead of 100
per cent as provided in the Vreeland
bill.
The redemption fund requirement
of five per cent under the present
law is increased to ten per cent for
all emergency currency taken out
Total amount of emergency currency
issuable Is confined within a maxi, |
mum of s500,000,000 as provided by
the Aldrich bill.
A tino limit nf three wears "a |
placed upon the life of the Dill.
Ii the bill is reported out Of thel
conference tomorrow 1t will be passed
by the house.
Intimates of Sepeaker Cannon as
serted today that in the event that
a bill along the lines of the proposed
compromise is brought in, 1t could
be passed by the house after an
hours debate.
Conditions are so different in the
senate that another situation may be
encountered there, Still, tOdays de
velopments have been such as to-
Justify the statement that these bills
will not be held up in the senate for
so long a time rs seemed probable
when the compromise first began to
receive attention.
Strenuous representation as to the
possible effect OH business of the
failure by congress to enact legisla-
ton before adjournment has had the
effect of causing several Democratic
senators to agree not to discuss the
bill at length in case it is reported.

Serious for Great Britain THAN
For The United Stntcs.

I.ondon, Jan. 2.-England is expert
epcing what might well be called an
almost startling awakening to the grave
problems caused by the emigration of
Asiatics TO her white colonies. The
principal political topic for week has
been the situation in the TransvaaL
where several thousand East Indians
and Chinese were given the alternative
of submitting to what they consider a
degrading system of registration on be
Imprisoned and expelled.
The reports of Further racial rtoting
at Vancouver come at particularly
Inopportune time on account of negotia-
tions now under way between Canada
and Japan. and they are very annoying

ing hoped that japanese Willingness
substantially to restrict her emigration
would soften The anti-Japanese prsju-
tlices on the Pacific coast
II is recognized that the race ques-
ton is more serious for Great Britain
than for America, for the Indians are
British subjects and the japanese are
allies The Transvaal has temporarily
refrained from taking measures against
those Indians who have refused TO reg
ister. other than decline to renew the
traders licenses all OF which expired
Dec 81. II is proposed, however. to exc
cute the law in a few days. Two thou
