Ii Is Quite Certain That the Compromise
 Currency Bill Will Pass
There is Probability That Congress Will Be Ready to Adjourn This Afternoon Or at the Latest TOmOr- 

Washington, May 2S.-The antici- pated strenuous opposition to the adoption of the conference report on the Aldrich- -Vreeland bill in the sen ate. according to the inference to be drawn from the debate today, will probably not materialiZe. MT. Aldrich kept the report before the senate un- til nearly f pm. when he assented to its heinz laid aside until tomor- row, and the remainder of the day was devoted to the passage of un- objected to house bills.
 Every senator realized that the meaning of this move was that an understanding had been reached to vote on the bill tomorrow. Inquiry proved the existence of the under standing, although no positive agree ment has been made. The indica- tions are. therefore, that congress will adjourn tomorrow or Saturday.
 Unquestionably the temperature, which was higher today than at any time this session. had something to do with the indisposition on the part of the senators to discuss the bill. Palm leaf fans were in evidence and
  except when the roll was being call ed to establish a quorum. During the morning the democrats sweltered through a conference at which it was decided not to filibuster against the bill. While the conference had no binding force sentiment favored the minority standing together in a solid vote against the bill. On the other
 
 two republicans will join the oppOsi tion.
 The discussion today was opened by MT. Aldrich, who made brief statement concerning the compromise bill. Some of the democrats then sought to get an agreement to con slider the campaign publicity bill and afterwards speeches against the cur rency measure were made by Sena- tors Teller, Newlands and Owen. No other senators were ready to speak.
 Mir. Aldrich spent most of the day trying to arrange a vote on the bill tomorrow. This was not opposed by Senator Culberson, the minority lead CT. but Mir. LaFOllette, who is very much opposed to the bill. asked that the motion for an agreement be not passed. In his statement he frankly said that he had tried to organize a filibuster against the bill but had met with little encouragement. Mir. LaFollette said he probably would not speak at length. From the posi- tion assumed by. him it did not ap- pear necessary to obtain an agree ment to vote on the conference re port tomorrow. In fact, it is said an agreement might delay taking vote as the senators were unwilling to fix a time earlier than clock, though it is believed that the senators who want to speak tomorrow will con sume the six hours between II and 3.

JAPAN READY
 FOR TROUBLE
Over Her Discriminating
 Policy in ManChurid
Mere Presence of Battle ship Fleet Will Not Open the Door.

Vancouver, May 2S.-G. C. Druce, former mayor of oxford, England, secretary to the Botanical Society of Great Britain, who has just arrived from the Orient after an extensive tour of China, Korea and Japan gives a highly interesting account of Jap ans military political activity in the far east and the effect of the visit of the American fleet t. that part of the world.
 While official classes are reserved, the Japanese people are not in the least perturbed over the dispatch of the battleships to the orient" said MT. Druce. "Of course everybody in the far east except diplomats associate the demonstration of America's naval power with the Manchurian trade question. The famous 'open door" pol icy advocated by all the white races is in reality a nullity."
 Japan, declared MT. Druce. has com pletely reversed the "open door, pol icy in Manchuria excepting for her own people.
 With the arrival of the fleet in the Pacific and the talk of trouble with the United States in the future, Jap anese statesmen. Mir. Druce believes are preparing for any emergency. Port Arthur. the former Russian strong hold is being made virtually impreg- nable while the Qualifications at Dal- ny now occupied by Japanese are be- ing rushed to completion with feverish I.s. ion that clash with the powers over the continuance of the discriminatory policy now being carried out in favor of Japanese subjects in the orient is inevitable. Even if Japan is com pelled to back down he believes her surrender will bring its advantage.

If we cannot always follow the old
financial maxim Pay as you go, let us

We have thus far been combining our
thoughts to the relations existing be-
