TO STUDY FOREIGN
FINANCIAL SYSTEMS.

New York, Aug. 1.-For several
days the members of the National
Monetary Commission appointed by
the last session of congress to devise
plans for currency legislation, and
composed of nine Democrats and nine
Republicans, have been in this city
making preparations for a trip to Eu-
rope to study foreign conditions and
confer with bankers there. 1t has
become known in Wall street that
Senator Aldrich, who is at the head
of the commission, has come to hold
the opinion that the result of the
commissions studies will not be to
promulgate a new currency measure,
but simply to make additions to the
present so-called Aldrich-Vreeland
law. Many leading bankers hope the
senator will experience a change of
heart before the completion of the
investigation.

YAQU| INDIANS
 DESIRE PEACE

HERMOSILLO, May 2l.-There is general feeling prevailing here in off. cials circles that the long drawn out Yaqui disturbances are at an end. Tele- grams and letters are passing daily between the Mexican officials at this point and the capital city and small Yaqui bands are coming in daily from the remote districts, declaring that the Yaquis want peace and are ready and willing to sign treaty. Tie exact terms of the treaty have not yet been decided upon, but it is believed in the end an agreement will be reached and the Yaqui bands permitted to depart in peace to resume their occupations throughout Sonora. Mexican officials who have been in conferences with some of the Yaqui leaders declare that the Indians are sincere and mean to put stop to tho warfare upon the conditions that no further deportation of the Yaquis to Yucatan shall be made. Business men here are very optimistic over the outlook and make the state ment that the signing of the peace treaty between the Yaquis and the Mexican government will mean quick revival of the mining activity in the Yaqui regions which has been attend ed with more or less danger in the past.
