campaign funds. the gifts were made
without expectation of return.
After saying he had contributed

cd to the committee and exclaimed
earnestly:

This statement followed a series of
questions by senator Pomerene as to
whether the New York ilnanciers had
conferred and ascertained the atti-
tude of various candidates toward
business before making contributions.
Mr.. Morgan repeatedly denied that
there was any concerted action

| in support of the Republican candi
| date, in 1904.
Mr.. Morgan said that after making
his original contribution of 100000
in 1894, he vas importuned to give
another $4,000, which he did. This

said that the note is first to be shown

they desire to many any notifications.
The slowness with which diplomacy
is moving in this matter, and the fact
that weeks grace is given to Tur-

the note, tend to make the public
more optimistic. Diplomats. who know
how difficult it will be to induce Tur-
