COLD STANDARD
IS REAFFIRMED.
House Adopts Amendment TO the
Currency Measure Offered
by Chairman Glass.

Several Representatives From the
South Denounoe the Amendment as
Useless, but II Goes Through by a
Vote Of 1o4 to 3s, All Of the opposl-
ton Being Democratic - Congress
man Fess Takes Lead In Debate.
Washington, Sept, IS. - Quite a
breeze was created in the house by
an amendment to the currency bill
offered by Chairman Glass of the
banking and currency committee.
After spirited debate. the amendment
was adopted, 1O4 to 9G, all the mega
tive votes being cast by the Demo-
Gratis. The amendment was predi-
Gated on the suggestion offered by
Representative Fess of Ohio.
The amendment reads as follows
PROVIDED that nothing in this act
shall be construed to repeal the parity
provisions contained in an act ap-
proved March IA, 1900, entitled an act
to define and fix the standard of val
ue, to maintain the parity of all forms
Of money issued or coined by the
United States to refund the public
debt and for other purposes"
There had been several inter-
changes between the Democrats and
the Republicans in the course of de-
bate, Mr. Fess taking the lead in
urging the reaafiirmation of the gold
standard. That the stability of the
whole fiscal fabric was based upon
the certainty that the newly project
ed government issues had for their
basis gold, Mr. Fess thought was par.
amount to every other consideration
at the present time.
Chairman Glass, while insisting
that the bill in its then pending form,
by using the term gold or lawful
money" did not forsake the general
principle of gold as basic money, call
ed the attention Of the Republicans to
the fact that the same phTaseology-
gold or lawful money-appeared in
the Aldrich currency bill, to which no
exception had been made
The amendment above referred to
cropped up as the last important item
Of the paragraph by paragraph con-
sideration of the bill. No sooner was
it introduced than there was a pro-
test. Representative Witherspoon of
attacked the members of |
the banking and currency committee, |
charging that the amendment above
referred to was "a gold-bug resolu-
tion," and intimated he would vote |
against the bill if the amendment was
included.

Washington, Sept. Is. - Now that
President Huerta has read his much
heralded message to the Mexican con-

ly unchanged from the point of view
of the United States.
Huertas insinuations about the
presence of American battleships in
Mexican waters being unwelcome af-

the ships will stay wherever in Mexi-

and that nothing Huerta can say will
affect their movements in the slight

not be ordered home until all Ameri-
