ALDRICH BILL IS PASSED
Currency Measure Goes Through
Senate by Vote Of AZ to 16.
PROVIDES FUNDS FOR EMERGENCY
National Banks May Issue Notes
60 Amount OF $500, ,OoO,O 900 on
Deposit of Certain
Bonds.

WASHINGTON, March 27-The Aldrich
currency bill was passed by the senate to-
day by vote Of 40 to 16 in the main, a
party vote. Previous to the taking of the
vote on the Aldrich bill a vote was taken
on the Railey substitute authorizing the
government instead OF the national banks
to issue the emergency circulation for which
the bill provides. The vote on the sub
stitute stood a. to 13, and this vote was
entirely partisan even Senator LaFollette
casting his vote with the republicans.
The bill has been before the senate since
January 2. The vote was not reached until
after p. m, and the galleries were prac-
tically empty. An interesting feature of
the passage of the bill was a reiteration by
Mr.. Aldrich Of his promise to bring in a
bill for an investigation of the entire bank
ing system OF the country with a view 20
instituting reforms
Emergency Currency Provided.
As pessed, the bill provides for not more
than $5OO,OOO,OOO of emergency currency to
be issued to national banks upon the de-
posit by them of state county and muni-
cipal bonds, to be approved by the secre-
tary of the treasury. The currency is to
be issued with a view to securing an
equitable distribution Of the currency over
the United States and in accordance with
the unlmpaired capital and surplus of
banks in each state. Banks are to pay for
this emergency circulation one-half of
per cent a month during the first four
months it is circulated, and afterwards,
! three-quarters of ] per cent month.

that there is nothing about the bus

OF THE HOUSE
Minority Leader Makes Attempt to
Censure President.


Censure President.
WASHINGTON, March 27.-The question
of whether or not President Roosevelt is
King George III, arose in the house Of
representatives today. The discussion was
founded on local newspaper story, cover
ing what purported to be the details of an
interview yesterday between the president
and Representative Diekema Of Michigan,
in which the president was represented as
humping his desk and berating Mr..
Diekema for having Joined in the report
Of the subcommittee on the judiciary com
mittee censoring Judge Whitley of the
United States court in China. It came up
liams of Mississippi, the minority leader,
that he proposed to offer a resolution to
ascertain If the president had encroached
upon the privileges of committee of con-
gress.
Mr.. Diekema absolved the president from
the suggestion of intolerance made by Mr.
Williams, and said that the president In
the conversation which took place had dis
played the greatest liberality in receiving
his explanation of the circumstances lead
! ing up TO the filing of the report He denied
| that the president thumped his desk but
admitted that he gesticulated good DEAL
| Following this incident the house. engaged
in a desultary debate on the agricultural
appropriation bill, which, however had
been materially amended which 1t was laid
aside.

DUKE SEEMS A HAPPY MAN
Italian Seeking Hand of Miss Elkins
Reaches Liverpool.
IMPRESSION THAT HE Is ENGAGED
Attitude During the Voyage Such that
Friends Gathered This Opinion
Refuses TO BE In
teryiewed.
IMPRESSION THAT HE IS ENGAGED

LIVERPOOL, March H.-"There is abb
solutey nothing l can say regarding my
reported engagement to Miss Katherine
Elkins" said the duke Of the Abruzzi when
asked for a statement today regarding the
many rumors in circulation since his de-
parture from the United States. The duke
arrived here this morning from New York
on the steamer Lusitania. He emphasized
the personal pronoun in his statement and
intimated that any announcement must
come from another source. He greeted the
newspaper men cheerfully and smilingly
and gave the above quoted answer to the
request for an interview.
Upon leaving the Lusitanla, in Company
with the Italian consul at Liverpool, who
was the only person here to meet him, the
duke faced a battery of cameras, but, still
smiling, he passed up the dock to the rail-
road car upon which there was the usual
printed notice in large letters showing that
a compartment had been reserved for him.
During the voyage over the duke mingled
freely with the other passengers and made
some friends, but whenever the subject OF
his engagement was mentioned he imme-
diately became reserved and thereafter
avoided the individual who brought this
topic up. He was entertained at dinner
during the voyage by Sir Bache Cunard,
and himself gave party, which was at
tended by some Of his new made friends.
Excellent Impression Given.
The duke created an excellent impression
among his fellow passengers and was quite
the most cheerful spirit on board. He
spent hours walking the deck with his new
made friends, among whom were Robert
Watchorn, commissioner Of immigration at
New York, and William B. Rowland, pro-
prletor OF The outlook.
Although the duke could not be drawn
out with regard to his reported engage
ment, he gave the impression that there
was an engagement, but that some formah-
ties would have to be completed before an
nouncement could be made and that this
announcement must come through official
italian channels. His continual cheerful
ness on the voyage over is taken as proof
that he al least does not believe that there
are any insurmouDtable difficulties in the
way OF his marriage 10 Miss Elkins.
Abraham Hummel. the New York lawyer
VINO was released from prison on March l6.
also was a passenger on the Lusitania. He
received as much attention from the re-
porters and photographers as did the duke
of the Abruzzi. but he did not take 1t SO
pleasantly.

desire not to have DIR. Hill come to Berlin
has been a subject of discussion in the
Official household OF his majesty for weeks
past. General Won Plessin, adjutant gem
eral to his majesty, has referred to it, and
It is known outside of his majesty's suite
that Admiral Won Mueller, chief sof his
majesty's private marine cabinet and Ad-
miral Won Tirpitz, secretary of the ad-
miralty, are among those who have told
the emperor that they did not regard Dr.
Hill as a suitable ambassador.
OfHcial Denial Accepted.
WASHINGTON, March 27-The state
ment issued from the Foreign office at
Berlin in relation to the case OF DR.. Hill,
being entirely official, must, of course, be
accepted by our government on its face as
amounting TO a denial of the report that
Dr. Hill was personally Objectionable to the
German emperor. As already Indicated in
these dispatches, there was every reason
why a matter of this kind should be
handled In an unofficial manner, 1t being
perfectly apparent to any experienced dip
lomatist that to make a formal and official
declaration that a foreign diplomatic rep
resentative was Objectionable would be GER
tain to hurt the pride of his own govern
ment and arouse the bitter animosty of his
own people against the objectors.

PARIS. March 2I--Dr. David Jayne Hill,
the announced successor to Charlemagne
Tower as American ambassador to Ger
many, who is now in this city on official
business, received no off cial inrorma 10 l
today that would throw any light on the
alleged refusal of Emperor William to re-
ceive him at Berlin. Dr. Hill is aware that
Baron Won Sternburg the German ambas-
sador at Washington, transmitted EN-
peror Williams approval of his appoint
ment last November, and he declines in
the absence of official information, to
admit that there is any possibility Of the
emperor having changed his attitude.
The Hill matter has aroused the lIveliess
interest in diplomatic circles in Paris. Th0
refusal to receive an ambassador after as
senting TO his appointment is said to be
unprecedented in the annals of diplomacy
and justifiable only on the strongest per
sonal grounds. A prominent foreign diplo-
mat said I'm this connection today:
THE incident cannot be accounted for
on the theory that the emperor has some
personal objection to DR.. Hill; otherwise
his refusal to receive Inn would be not
only offensive, but breach Of good man
ners. The suggestion contained in the Ber-
lin dispatches that the emperor desires a
brilliant and wealthy American at Berlin
capable of adding luster to his court savors
Of spirit of dictation which any country
would resent. If DR.. Hill were an obscure
man, such an objection might be under
stood, but iHasmuch as 1t is recognized
abroad that DIR. Hill is an able and accom-
plished diplomat and scholar. this sugges-
tion is almost an affront. not only to DR..
Hin, but to America.
ITO foreign diplomats It always has
seemed strange that the United states has
not pursued a policy of sending abroad able
and modest men like DR.. Hin, who are cap
able Of representing their country with dig
nifty and simplicity. rather than men OF
wealth who seek to rival in their social
functions the magnificence of the old
world"

1t is true that there have been other in
stances since that event where Americans
chosen for diplomatic service have failed
of reception at the post intended for them,
but that result has followed not from
another such Official action as It re-
ferred to In the German foreign office
statement, but simply through the convey
ance through personal channels. of a quiet
intimation that the nominee was objec-
tionable. The case is similar to that rising
in a social club when the friends of an in
tending applicant for admission are quietly
given TO understand that there are objec-
tions against him. OF course, an immediate
withdrawal follows in order to avoid the
dreaded "black ball." which IN diplomacy
would find its equivalent in an official
declaration that minister OF ambassador
was persona non grata. Something of this
kind is understood to have been the course
followed In DR.. Hills case.
