Notwithstanding the fact that the six
Democratic Senators announced Friday
night that they completed their work
and that they submitted the draft of
their completed bill to the full committee
Saturday morning and to the President
Saturday night, they have reopened the
measure and are showing as much ac-
tivity in remaking IT as is being dis
played by the other wing OF the COM
mittee which is proceeding with Senator
Hitchcock in the chair

in having an amendment inserted in the
bill which requires the Federal Reserve
Board to extend rediscount privileges to
the member banks. Senator Reed

such advances and Accommodations" to
the member banks, las many be recog-
nized as reasonable" and to treat them
fairly and impartially.
1t now is probable that the remnant
OF the Banking and Currency Committee,
made up of Senator Hitchcock and the
Republicans, will not be ready to make
a report to the Senate Thursday Their
bill went to the Printing Office last night
and the work OF revising it will begin
tomorrow, but can hardly be completed.
The Democratic Senators are almost as
helplessly involved with their own meas
ure which they thought they had COM
pIeted Saturday.
Under such circumstances, it was pre-
dicted last night that the work probably
will be completed in time to make a
report on the disagreement to the Senate
next Monday. The statements of views
to be submitted by each wing OF the
committee may not be ready by that
time. 1t is likely that a request WIN be
made for more time to prepare these
statements Chairman owen SAID ne

Senators take the two bills and compare

factions in the committee before actually

It has long been known that the va

Announcement Is Made
That Two More Members
Of Cabinet Are to Quit

Mexico City, Nov. 1S.-The announce
ment was made tonight that Foreign
Minister Moheno probably will quit
Huerta's Cabinet tomorrow, and IL not
then before the end OF the week. II
is also probable that Minister LoZano
will leave the Cabinet.
Minister Moheno has been unpopu-
lar with the Diplomatic Corps, and
much pressure has been brought to
compel the government to get rid of
him.
The ely had an hour OF terror to-
night. Five explosions were heard in
rapid succession all over the central
part of the city. Immediately there
was a great sensation. for the noise of
the explosions and the hurrying of
soldiers through the streets gave the
impression that actual fighting must
be in progress.
Quite was restored when II was known
that five oil tank cars on the Mexican
railroad. which had caught fire in the
freight yard had exploded rive men
were killed.
Mexicnns Have Arms.
The freight yards are close to the main
passenger station. The fire was caused
by a spark from the electric motor pump
which was being used to transfer oil
from one car to another
Nearly all the Krag-Jergensen rifles
and ammunition sent here eighteen
months ago and distributed to the Amer
ican colonists have been scattered, many
now being in possession OF the Mexicans.
The Americans sold them when they left
The country.
Many forced loans to the government
are being reported from various points.
One in Monterey is said to amount to
10000 pesos and foreigners as well as
native Mexicans have been called upon
to subscribe to IL.
Among those who were arrested here
last night was Enrique De Los Rios,
Judge of the Superior Court. Among the
others were a number OF lawyers. The
charge against those arrested is that
and plotting against the government. The
portfolio of Gobernacion has been offered
to Urrutia. He has not yet given an
answer.
Drafting into the army continues. Not
only are members OF the poorer classes
being compelled to serve the government.
but men of standing and education are
being picked up and forced to become
officers.
Arrangements have been completed by
President Huerta to convene Congress at
5 o'clock, Thursday afternoon. pre-
liminary meeting of Congress was held
this afternoon. but only to complete or
ganization for the formal opening, when
the Diplomatic Corps will attend. Amer
lean Charge d'Affaires O'Shaughasssy
will not, Of course, attend.

CARRANzA MAKES
DEMAND OF HALE
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.

out by Carranza to the effect that he
would not tolerae' he interference OF the
United States I'm the internal affairs in
Mexico have admittedly made II almost,
IL not quite, impossible for President
Wilson to do anything with the revolu-
tionists
Their recent successes have made the
constitutionalists so confident of ultimate
victory over Huerta that the United
States can nc longer claim possession Of
a trump card in the offer Of raising the
embargo on arms. AS, matter of fact.
1t has been admitted here that Carranza
dare not accept aid OF the United States
with any strings tied to IL, and II is
equally well understood that the sug-
gestions of Hale did have a number of
conditions attached to them.
Much of the Carrenza support would
turn against him were he to enter into
a bargain with the United States by
which the Washington government was
given any means of controlling or super
vising his actions. according to state
ments made by revolutionist representa-
tives here.
No Desire for War.
The feeling that the country Is not yet
prepared to support an energetic and Wig
orous program for enforcing the Presi-
dents dictum that Huerta must 60 was
a large factor in the Administrations de-
cision to leave the situation to itself. at
least, for the present 1t Is recognized
that there is no desire among the people
Of the United States generally for a war
with Mexico, and the President Is con-
WINGED that he will have to furnish ex-
cellent reasons IT, in his handling OF the
situation. he should decide upon armed
intervention. While In general the coun-
try is regarded as In sympathy with the
Presidents stand on the moral issues in
volved in his attitude toward the Huerta
government, there is much doubt ex-
pressed as to whether the country would
feel that the cause justified a war with
Mexico.
Reports that Tampico had been cap
tured by rebels were not confirmed by
any advices to the State and Navy de-
partments yesterday afternoon. Such re-
ports as were received. however, indi-
Gated that the revoIutionists are making
extensive gains in many sections Of Mex
leo. II Is reported that bridges between
Victoria and Tampico have been de-
stroyed and that railroad tracks on both
sides OF Victoria have been torn up. An
attack upon Mazatlan is said to be i'm
pending. The towns of Tepic and Culia-
can are said to have fallen. German
cruisers are reported active on both
coasts OF Mexico in the interests of Ger
man citizens in Mexico.

CARE FOR SICK AMERICANS.
London Nobility Start Move to In
stall hospital Ward.

Special Gable to The Washington Herald.
London, Nov. efficiently there has
been set on foot a movement by wealthy
Americans in London to establish an
American ward in the London Hospital.
1t is an astonishing fact that there Is
not in all the great hospital wards OF
London a single bed completely endowed
as an American bed.
The movement for the establishment OF
an American ward in the London Hospi-
tai is now well under way, and. if the
funds asked for. realize expectations a
full ward will be designated in the near
future.
Among those associated with the new
scheme are the Countess of Essex. Wis.,
countess Maidstone, Lady Malcolm, OF
PortaIloch, Lady Barran, Lady Arthur
Butler, Lady Maxim, the Hon. Mrs. Ro-
land C. Lindsay. and Mrs. NJ. F. Ron

erous disposition and willingness to take
a joke at his own expense has just been
illustrated again in his treatment OF two
mounted policemen who arrested him for
speeding.
The King was motoring from La
Granja to this city few days ago and
was travelling at high speed to be here
in time for a Cabinet meeting, when the
two policemen held him up. The King
told them who he was, but they failed
to recognize him, at least well enough
to satisfy their consciences. They in
sisted that he accompany them to the
nearest police station
Here the inspector apologiZed profusely
to the monarch and Iectured his subor-
dinates severely. The next day Alfonso
sent the men a box of cigars and asked
that both be raised in rank.

AGRARIAN CAMPAIGN
AROUSES KING GEORGE
Ruler, a Model Landlord" Closely
Watches Development Of Move
ment in England.

London, Nov. 1s.-King George is fol-
lowing with the closest interest the OPEN
ing OF the land campaign. This is a mat
ter to which he mas devoted considerable
attention. BY his direction a verbatim
copy of the speeches delivered by Lloyd
George has been prepared and laid be-
fore him. and the King is to go through
them very carefully when he arrives at
York Cottage next month.
The King is in many respects a model
landlord. both as regards the question of
wages and the provision OF proper hous-
ing accommodation. and may we'll point
TO Sandringham as an example of what
country estate may be made, even
though game is very plentiful upon IT,
