FINANCIAL SYSTEM LIKELY

members of the COMMITTEES on mani.
ing and currency entered yesterday
ON 2 series OF conferences by which Il
Is hoped to reach an agreement "a.
garding the Recommendation - the

sion. A feeling exists amonp The
members that the country,s financ,aI
system, embracing the fluctuations Of
national prosperity, is the issue ON
which the coming presidential, cam
paign will be fought, and that the sort
OF currency bill to be passed at tho
present session Of congress win de-
termine in great measure the shape
OF the financial plank to be inserted
IN the republican platform at Chicago
The republican members of the com.
mittee are therefore very anxious to
go before the house with an nnhrolen
front in reporting favorably a curren-
cy bill. Thus far some rather wide
dinerences of opinion have character
lzed the attitude of the majority mem
bers. 1t is in the hope of closing
these breaches that the conference Sc
ries was inaugurated yesterday.
It Is the general understanding that
the democratic members of the COM

SULTAN AND KAISER WORRY
EUROPEAN GOVERNMENTS

st. Petersburg, Feb. 15-It is ex-
pected here that Russia and Great
Britain will enter upon an agreement
for joint action with regard to the sit
uation in Macedonia and that these
two powers will be supported by
France and perhaps by Italy. If such
a coalition is made, the reason for it
undoubtedly will be because of the
latest developments at Constantinople,
where it is reported that Germany in
tends to abandon the allies and adopt
the counter proposals of the sultan,
which are, from the Russian point of
view, tantamount to no reform at all,
and which are regarded as creating a
situation equaling the Moroccan en-
tanglement in international import
ance
Only by such four-power league.
according to the Russian press, CAP
the necessary reforms in Macedonia
be carried through. Dispatches re-
ceived here from London indicate that
a similar view is gaining ground there.
The opinion expressed by the in
spired press indicates that the British
proposals of reform, which were re-
Gently rejected by Russia and Aus
tria, may be the basis of Anglo-Rus-
sian action, and this in spite of the
radical nature of Russia's attitude in
the past. This attitude was determ-
ined by loyalty to Russia's Austrian
partner, but now, in view of the course
followed by Baron Won Alhrenthal,
Russia feels herself no longer bound
to Austria.
Newspapers of all shades of opinion,
including even the Socialist Capital
Post, successor to the Tovarisch, sup
port the foreign office in an attack on
German diplomacy. The newspapers
resent bitterly the alleged duplicity of
Baron Aehrenthal, the Austro-Hun
garian minister of foreign affairs, who
is compared to card sharper, playing
an underhand game with confeder-
ate, in this case Germany against the
other powers.

JAPANESE PARLIAMENT
SCENE OF RioTING

Toxic, Feb. 15.-After an exciting
debate lasting six hours, which devel-
oped into a riot on the floor of the
house of representatives, the financial
budget was passed by majority OF
1O2. Speakers on both sides occupied
a long time, and towards the last they
howled at the chair and charged IA
voritism, the opposition members de-
manding an apology.
The chair suspended the session for
half an hour, and upon resuming apol-
ogized handsomely to the opposition.
Impressive speeches were made dur
ing the debate, all making point of
the feature that more than one-haf OF
the budget was expended In arma-
ments. 1t was also urged that the
fiscal measures Of the government did
not contain provisions to prevent an
outflow of gold, while the balance OF
trade had a tendency against Japan.
Fear was expressed that the basis OF
the gold reserve might be endan-
gered.
Upon the side Of the ministry the
principal speakers eloQuently urged
that it was both unwise and dangerous
to publicly discuss the nations nm
ance from a pessimistic standpoint
thereby creating an unnecessary alarm
abroad. He called attention to the
natural resources OF Japan which were
only awaiting development by cheap
capital.

JOSE HARETTE WINS A
FAMOUS MINE SUIT

Dawson, Feb. 15.-Jose Barette, the
famous Klondike pioneer, wins his suit
against the Canadian Bank of Com
merce and the Syndicate Lyonnaise, of
France, whereby he gets $4,000 in
cash, after paying all debts and fees.
Barette originally sold string OF
claims on Dominion creek for $167 600.
A fight ensued over how much was
due the bank from loan. The syndi-
cate charged Barette with sailing the
claims, and sued him for $400, 900 dam
ages.
The battle was waged through every
Yukon and Canadian court. then went
to the privy council, in England, and
was sent back to Dawson for final
hearing, which has just been concluded
by Judge Craig. The lawyers fees az
gregate more than $4,000.

INDUSTRIES ARE REv1vINa.
Workers Of All Kinds Are Reported
In Great Demand.

Business throughout the United
States. both commercial and Indus
trial, Is reviving, according to Ter
ence V. Powderly, chief Of the divi-
sion Of information, bureau Of immi-
grafton. The division Of information
was created by Congress AZ an agency
to divert immigration from the larger
cities. and find places for the unem-
ployed alien. The functions Of the
division have been enlarged, inasmuch
as Chief Powderly Is endeavoring to
provide work for Americans az well
as aliens
From July / last until early In Oc-
tober 100000 requests were made upon
Chief Powderly to supply various
forms of labor for factory. railroad,
farm and Industrial enterprises Of all
descriptions About the middle Of
October, when the financial disturb
ances became acute, many Of these
applications were Cancelled, CORE
spondents stating that instead Of need
Ing labor they were putting on men,
and that everything pointed to a pro-
longed period Of depression.
Recently there has been a renewal
OF the demand for labor. Chief Pow
derby says that this demand comes
from every section Of the country !;
that 1t calls for mechanics, mill oper-
atives, factory hands, railroad buillers,
and farm laborers From the agricul-
tural States have come notice that In
the spring hundreds of thousands Of
farm hands will be needed, and that
every effort should be made by the gov
eminent at this time to see to it that
an adequate supply Of labor is provided
In the regions where 1t will be urgently
required.
"An investigation has developed"
said Mr.. Powderly, that, while the
unusually large exodus Of foreigners
during the past few months was the d.
rect result Of disturbed financial con-
ditions. it was not due to the closing
Of mills or factories or cessation in the
progress Of public works. The great
majority of those who returned to Eu-
rope were not turned out OF employ
ment. They were alarmed by the OUT
look and decided to 60 back. The tide
will begin to turn early in the spring.
and I have no doubt chat the increas-
ing demand for labor that our reports
indicate Is at hand will be fully met
by the supply In this country amplified
by an ENLARGED Immigration"

American politician is famous. For
them will be expended limitless elo-
Quence, and in their interest the quiet
work, which appears little on the sur
face, but which means SO much in the
final result, will keep forces Of trained
men busy from now on until the nomi-
nation is made.
For the first time In twenty years
the Republican convention will see a
real battle The gathering that nomi-
mated BENJAMIN Harrison in 1883 was
an open fight much similar to the one
that promises for this year. In 1892 the

against free silver had fixed on McKin-
ley In advance Of the convention as the
man to lead the fight; and in 1900 not

Roosevelt outranked in popularity every
name suggested for the Republican NOM

upheaval will be made still NOR chaotic
