Washington, July 26.--Ambassa-

personal testimony regarding condi-
tons in that troubled zone, was in
conference at the State Department
with Secretary Bryan today The
conference started shortly after ~
o'clock and ended few minutes be"
fore II, when Secretary Bryan went
to the Capitol to appear before the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
"My remarks in New York ycster-

Wilson denied emphatically that he
had labelled General CarranZa a ban

"Emphatically, ! said he was not a
bandit" he explained. "But | did say.
and repeat, that his followers were
pursuing banditti warfare with the
consent of their leaders. That is the
cnly way these revolutions are kept

THE CURRENCY BILL.
Lull in Consideration, But Will be Re-
sumed Monday-Squally Session
Yesterday.

Washington, July 26.Talk of an
agreement to hurry along the tariff
bill providing currency would be al
lowed to go over until next session
was rife in the Senate today. Many
of the Republicans, and Democrats
as we'll, are favorable to such an ar
'rangement. If it could be worked out
IA adjournment might come about Sep
tember 1.
Little progress was made on the
tariff bill yesterday. Sharp debate
broke out and but a small number of
paragraphs in the chemical schedule
were approved.
The wrangling members of the
House Banking and Currency Com
mittee are having respite today and
will resume their conferences Monday
afternoon with the hope of more am
icable meeting than that held late
yesterday. The yesterday afternoon
session was squally one, and per-
sonalities rather than details Of the
currency bill engaged the warning
factions.
No progress whatever was made on
the bill.
At the conference yesterday mo-
tion to expedite things and report the
bill to a caucus forthwith. was over
whelmingly defeated.
The action of the conference in re-
fusing to set day certain for the
report of the bill is an indirect re-
lection of the Presidents plan for
early caucus action.
1t was agreed that the Henry
Ragsdale' amendments shall be taken
up in the conference at o'clock
Monday.

MICHIGAN MINES Ne;
Believed That Open War
fare Will be Declared
by Nightfal.
WOULD RESUME WORK
Eighteen Thousand Strikers Force
Pump and Enginemen to Quit
Great Damage to Property.

Calumet, Mich. July 26.-The open
statement of mine officials here that
they would start operations in all
shafts as soon as troops arrived in
sufficient numbers to protect their
work, led to the belief today that open
warfare between state militiamen and
striking copper diggers would ha
threatened before nightfall. The en-.
tire membership of the Michigan Ma
tional Guard was expected here by
this afternoon, and it was known that
the operators would then attempt to
resume work in the mines.
Immense dangers to the mining
properties resulted today from the ac-
ton of the 10000 strikers in forcing
pump and enginemen to abandon their
work. Shafts are rapidly filing
with water and it was believed that
the n1ne officials would make desper-
ate attempts this afternoon to start
the pumps.
Formal notice was received today
from Governor Ferris that the cXecu-
tive would not come to Calument to
personally direct the state troUps OF
to make efforts to bring the warning
operators and miners together. Pres
ident Mahoncy of the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners, who is directing
the strike last night APPEALED to the
Governor by telegraph to make a per-
sonal investigation of the dispute and
TO use his good offices to effect a
settlement.
In reply Mahoney received the fol-
lowing message from the Governor
today
"The troops are there to protect
life and property. Miners and mine
owners must make every possible
effort to settle their dispute. This can
he done without the presence Of the
Governor. I expect that both sides
will see the wisdom Of asking for
only what is right Thousands OF
strikers wandered through the streets
of Calumet at an early hour this
morning but there was no attempt at
violence.

President Wilson sent to the Senate
Yesterday afternoon the nomination of
Adam f. Patterson, colored, of Mus
kogee, Okla, as Register of the
Treasury. He will succeed James c..
Napier, of Tennessee, also colored.
Senator James X. Vardaman, of
Mississippi, who is indignant at the ac-
ton of the President, and who will

ton gave vent to his convictions.
Protest against the appointee will
be voiced next Thursday evening at
meeting to be held at Old Masonic
Temple, Washington. Senator Varda-
man will be the pricipal speaker
"The appointment of Patterson is
a most unfortunate thing" said
Senator Vardaman last night. "Two
races cannot mix; it is contrary to the
laws of nature. ! am not acquainted
with Patterson. 1t is not the person
ality | am fighting, it is the prin-
ciple involved. Such recognized po'
litical equality is bound to lead to
social equality; social equality Is
bound to lead to race amalgamation
and race amalgamation means race
deterioration.
"I do not think that any govern
ment office should be held by ne
gro, and I have Abraham Lincoln OF
nv side in making this assertion.
The senator took from the table
little booklet prepared by Lincoln
himself, containing newspaper, clip
pings on speeches delivered by hin
on the question of the negro.

MULHALL IN BAD SHAPE.
Sheds Tears When Reference Was
Made to His Wife Losing Her.
Mind.

Physically and mentally exhausted
by the ordeal through which he has
passed in two weeks on the witness
stand, Col. NJ. NJ. Mulhall, former
chief lobbyist for the National Asso-
ciation of Manufacturers, broke down
before the Senate Investigating COM
mittee yesterday afternoon and
brought about a hasty adjournment.
"T can't remember all these details
now, Senator. I am tired, and my
mind is not working I have been all
wrought up by the references to my
wife in this correspondence, and
am broken down. I have been on the
stand here almost continuously for
two weeks, and I am tired.
"If you gentlemen would only
have a little mercy! For Gods sake
have little mercy and let ME be ex-
cused for the day"
Mulhall was indeed pitiable OBJ
iect. A little before letters written
by and to him at the time when his
wife had just lost her mind and was
under examination by alienistss hal
been brought up and hastily with
drawn from the record. but not before
the. circumstances under which they
were written had been recalled to the
Colonel's mind. He bowed his head
and tears streamed down his face. He
asked to be excused for few min
utes and went into another room
returning when he had partially
regained his self control.

Extract From Address.

VIE VI IHS siiSRtehi 'ooeSo pSANA
the people today is the question of the
enabling act or the statewide prohi-
b!tion, and while it is to be regretted
that such question should enter our
state politics, if it is dragged in by
those who seek to profit by using
such question to advance their pri-
vate interests, far be it from me to
dodge or hedge on the question.
am a Democrat, and do not believe
ir paternalism; I deny the right of
any man or community, outside OF my
own locality, to dictate to me what
shall eat, or what shall drink, or
wherewithal shall I be clothed, and it
it undeniable that if one be logical
and correct the other is equally so.
On the other hand, however, do be-
leve that each locality has right
to regulate the liquor traffic in its
midst.
Statewide prohibition would no
more prevent the sale or consumption
of liquor in Virginia that it has pre-
vented it in Maine, Kansas and 9TH
er so-called "dry" states during the
past half century. know from per-
sonal experience that such laws are
openly and brazenly ignored.
In my home county of Fairfax we
have local option, and were the ques-
tion an issue in my neighborhood
most assuredly would vote to con-
tinue the present status, but where
police protection can be secured
deem it better that those who sell
liquor, should bear part, at least, OF
the expense that its consumption costs
the state and community, rather thar
that liquor should be sold by the
"bootleggers" or in the "speakeasy',
thus creating three sets of law break
ers-the seller, the purchaser and tn
official, who winks (generally TO
consideration at.the sale, thus IN
creasing disregard of law and max
ing the violation of other statute
easier.
