quarters at Denver.

Denver, March 1S.-Active political
work on behalf of candidates for the
nomination for president and vice
president before the Democratic ma
tional convention, which meets in
Denver July Z, has already begun in
this city. Headquarters have been
rented at the leading hotels and polit-
ical workers are on the ground look
ing after the interests of the men
they represent.
The campaign for the various can
didates seems to have opened about
two months earlier than is usual. The
men in charge of the convention for
the Democratic party say it is GUS
tomary for candidates to appear in
the convention city about thirty days
before the convention opens and begin
preparations for their campaign.
There are now half a dozen candi-
dates represented in Denver by polit-
ical workers with headq uarters here
who are busy interviewing all who ar
rive from the various states to secure
headquarters for Their. delegations
that are to be here in July.
Prominent among those who have
been mentioned in connection with the
presidential nomination are w. j.
Bryan of Nebraska, George Gray of
Delaware, Stuyvesant Chanler of New
York and Governor John A. Johnson
of Minnesota. Their friends who are
already here in their interests state
positively that their names will go
before the convention as nominees. A
number of other candidates for the
nomination are mentioned, but none of
them appear to have developed
strength enough so far to make their
intentions of interest to those who are
really in the race.

in Danger OF Attack.
Paris, March 18.-Oficial dispatches
received here from Hayti indicate that
the situation there is still critical for
foreigners. M. Carteron, the French
minister, reports that fresh executions
have occurred, but he does not give
the number. He says that previous 10

and there is still danger of attack on
the foreign legations and consulates.
1t is reported there that an American
warship has arrived at Gonaives.
NJ. Carteron says nothing about any
change in the attitude of the Haytian
government regarding the delivery Of

once. The French government, how
ever, will never consent to the deliv-
cry of General Firmin or the other
Haytians who sought asylum at the
French legation.
The French government does not
anticipate the slightest friction with
the United States v e the situation
in the Haytian republic. The sole pur.
pose of France, Germany, Great Brit
ain and presumably the United States,
also, is the protection Of foreign sub
jects against the %rapacity of the Hay
tian soldiers should the latter get out
of hand and throw off the control of
the authorities.

Big Strike at St. Louis Result
Of fractional Dispute.
EMPLOYERS TOOK A HAND
Issued Ultimatum to Employees for the
Purpose Of Ending Trouble, but
Thousand Quitting Work.

st. Louis, March 1S.-The $500 Il n
ionized employees in the St. Louis
breweries have been notified to
strike as the result of a factional
quarrel in Beer Drivers local No. 43.
The call for the strike was issued by
officials of the International United
Brewery Workers of America after a
fruitless conference with the repre-
sentatives Of the breweries.
The trouble grew out of an ultima
tum recently issued by the different
brewers stating that all employees fail
ing to take out membership cards in
Old Reliable local No. 43 within a
specified time would be dismissed.
The local had previously divided on
the question of the purchase of head
quarters and two factions formed. 1t
was for the purpose of %effecting a con-
solidation of the factions that the ulti-
matum was issued by the brewers.
But instead of affecting a reconcilia-
ton about $50 drivers walked out and
were dismissed. Monday about 800
bottlers and handlers went out on a
sympathetic strike.
Officials of the international union
conferred with the represe ntatives of
the breweries and demanded that the
$50 discharged drivers be reinstated.
Failing in their demands the interna-
tional officials called the strike.

Senate Committee Amends the A.
drich Currency Bill.
MAIN OBJECTION REMOVED
Railroad Bonds Eliminated as secur-
jty for Emergency Circulation of Ma
tionaI Banks-certain Provisions Of
Present Law Retained.

~"
Washington, March 1S.-The senate
committee on finance voted unani-
mously to amend the Aldrich financial
bill by eliminating railroad bonds as
security for national bank note circu-
lation. It also was decided to amend
the bill so as to retain the provision
of the present law prohibiting the re-
tirement by national banks of more
than $9,OOO,O0O of circulation in any
one month. The committee discussed
the proposition of increasing the tax
alton on emergency circulation out.
standing more than six months. The
rate under the bill as it now stands
is 6 per cent. No action was taken
on this feature.
An amendment also was agreed to
affecting the amount of circulation
which may be taken out on bonds of
the various kinds applicable for such
purposes. The bill provides that cir
culating notes may be issued equal in
amount to 80 per cent of the market
value of any bonds deposited. The
amendment adopted adds the pro.
vision that the issuance shall not be
in excess, however, of the par value
of the bonds. This is intended to
meet the criticism that certain securi.
ties might be inflated above par value
through the action of spectators and
the committee believes the amend
ment will effectually eliminate such
danger.
AIdrich Reports Amendments.
The amendments were reported to
the senate by Mr.. Aldrich, who said
that the action of the committee had
been unanimous. He said:
"The committee believed when the
bill was reported and believes
that it is desirable to have for these
emergency notes as large an amount
as possible of available securities.
Various questions have been raised in
regard to the railroad bonds which
have no reference to the bill under
consideration, such as the question of
the relation between railroads and
the public and the proper treatment
of railroad stocks and bonds and I'M
der all circumstances the committee
thinks it. better to ask the senate to
strike out these provisions in respect
to railroad bonds"

been offered by the committee in rela-
