WASHINGTON, Feb. IA. = The
Senate today gave attention to the
speech by Clay on the Aldrich cur
rency bill. Clay's declarations in
favor of the issuance of paper money
by the government provoked con-
troversy between him and the Repub-
lican Senators. Lodge and Teller
both gave their views on the policy
of issuing paper money by the gov
ernment. Teller spoke briefly saying
he wanted to make it clear that the
issuing Of money is not banking
business at is the exercise of SOW
ereign power" he said, where would
We have been today if we had not
slipped in and helped the banks?
They were certainly unable to do
business without governmental aid"
"If," interposed Lodge, I'VE had a
system like England, France or best
of all, Germany, the banks should
have been able to meet the emer-
gency."
Teller said when the gold standard
law was enacted in 1900 it was sup
posed to be a panacea for all ills,
He said there was no reason why the
government should guarantee the
notes of somebody else but theory
was one thing and present necessity
another.
"The BILL" he said, "is an attempt
to make a practical treatment for a
condition that may arise at any
time"
Senate adjourned until Monday.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. l4-At a

association was instructed to refuse
the demand of the owners that the
force of engineers on schooners ply
ing north Of Crescent City and South

fore. The result of this action will
doubtless be lockout of the engi-

out the steam schooner Bowdoin
bound for Gray's Harbor for lumber
with two engineers.
She was delayed until tonight
when two of the members were per-
mitted to take her. Her owners will
