Members of Foreign Relations
Committee Make Bryan
Redraft Treaty.
CALL AMENDMENT DRASTIC
Protectorate Provisions To Be
Revised-No Responsibility
for Debts Already
Incurred.
tFrom The Tribune Bureau1

Washington. July 26.-Secretary Bryan
appeared before the Foreign Relations
Committee to-day with draft OF the pro-
posed treaty with Nicaragua, providing
for the establishment OF a protectorate
over that country by the United States.
The treaty. the Secretary said. was ready
for the signatures. but after an extended
conference, during which many objections
were advanced against IL, he decided on a
revision Of its terms. He will submit 1t
to the committee again on Tuesday.
The treaty drafted by Mr.. Bryan con-
tains with little modification. the Ian
guage of the Plat amendment providing
for an American protectorate over Cuba.
Members Of the Foreign Relations Com
mittee objected to the application Of the
provisions OF the Platt amendment TO
Nicaragua on the ground that 1t was too
sweeping and that the conditions in the
two cases were radically different. Cuba
came into the hands of this country
through conquest and the responsibility
incurred thereby was much more direct
than exists IN the case OF Nicaragua.
II also developed that by the terms OF
the agreement originally outlined by Sec
retary Bryan Nicaragua would have been
prevented from ever Joining with other
republics TO form single Central Ameri-
can union. This was not contemplated by
the administration, and the suggestion has
created suspicion among other Central
American countries.

Specific Assurance.

SPECIFIC Assurance.
II was agreed that the original draft OF
the treaty should be changed, and def
mite statements be included in the com
pact, providing that II should not stand In
the way OF any future action Nicaragua
might decide 10 take toward Joining a
Central American combination.
Secretary Bryan assured the commit
tees that the government was making no
direct proposals 10 other Central Ameri-
can countries for similar treaties. The
Nicaraguan situation was peculiar, he
said. because that country proposed the
negotiations and asked for the establish
mcnt Of the American protectorate. In
the case OF other countries the United
States IS holding itself open" to treat
with them. II the suggestion comes from
their governments

Mr. Byran explained to-day that Il was
the purpose Of this government 10 secure
by the terms Of the treaty a site for a
naval station in Fonseca Bay. which
could be- used as n base for the defence
and protection Of the Panama Canal
This phase OF the plans also includes the
fertilization II Little Corn and Great

MIR Bryan said that this was included 10
prevent possible unfriendly or hostile
nation from building a canal and 10 retain
control Of the site. which might become
OF value in the future. I'm case the Pana-
ma Canal should be oyertaxed. Some
suggestion was made that the interest
OF Costa Rlca I'm the San Juan River
might prove an obstacle. but Mr.. Bryan
expressed the belief that this could be
adjusted without serious difficulty.
These provisions OF the proposed treaty
met with no Objection from members ol
the committee. The provisions for the
protectorate. however. were found 10 be
unsatisfactory. Mr. Bryan was cautioned
not 20 involve the United States In any
responsibility for the debts Of Nicaragua
already incurred although II was under
stood that provision would be made by
which the United States would scrutnize
all debts that might be incurred in the
future. He was also cautioned TO en-
croach upon the freedom Of action of
Nicaragua as little as possible consistent
with the purpose To be accomplished.
with a fuller understanding Of the atti-
tude OF the committee. Secretary Bryan
will hold further conferences with the
Nicaraguan Minister and will revise the
treaty before he submits 1t for further
scrutiny.

TO AMEND ALDRICH LAW
Senator Clapp Would Change
Emergency Currency Tax.

Washington. July Ex-senator Clapp
proposed to-day an amendment TO the
Aldrich-Vreeland law to permit emer-
gency currency issued under it to circu-
late at the same tax for three months
a IL now would circulate for one month.
There is a growing feeling said Sen
ator Clapp, that 1t would be unwise 10
have general currency revision at this
special session. Bankers have advised
me that If this rate Of tax can be ex-
tended TO cover three months the cur
rency available would suffice to meet any
emergency at this time"

San Francisco.-The detection Of a
gigantic scheme to flood China with
counterfeit currency is given as the
reason for his visit to the United
States by Lao Ngauton, special repre-
sentative of the republic and of Chi
nese bankers, who has just arrived
from Hong Kong.
The American system of issuing cur.
rency and bank notes will be made the
basis of future issues, according to
Lao, who will proceed to Washington
to make a comprehensive study of the
methods used in the government print
shop and the plant of the American
Banknote company.
Until a month ago., Liao said, the
Chinese believed their system satisfac.
tory. Then a flood of counterfeit notes
led to the discovery of a spurious
printing establishment in Japan. Pa.
per money representing $4,000, 000
was printed in Japan and sent to Hong
Kong for distribution, Lao said, and
several Japanese engaged in c~irculat,
ing it were captured.

HITcHcocK's POSTAL SERVICE
Declares Department Was Not Self
Supporting-offers Figures
in Proof.

Washington. = Postmaster. General
Burleson has made public the report
of a special investigation into fiscal
affairs Of the postal service, charging
that during former Postmaster Gen.
eral Hitchcock's administration the
service did not become self-supporting,
as was often asserted, but that in 1911
there actually was a deficiency of
more than $750,000.
The report charges that IAN ap-
parent surplus was attained by un-
justifiable methods Of bookkeeping"
and that the efficiency and morale of
the postal service were sacrificed to
a "rtuhlessly enforced policy of false
economy" that a showing of self
maintenance might be made. The re-
port attributes to that alleged con-
dition complaints against the service.

Washington.-"Make the republicans
work. is the slogan adopted by the
democratic leaders of the senate in
lchSrge Fof tariff legislation, who now
predict that the senate will vote on
the bill by August l.
Members of the finance committee
said that the bill would be out of sub
committees by June 8; that the full
committees report should be ready
for caucus by the following week, and
that the revised measure would be re-
ported to the senate on June 49,. Then
it will be pushed vigorously until
placed on it's passage.
Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia said
that the senate should vote on the bill
in the latter part of July. How this
could be accomplished the senator said
would be demonstrated when the de-
bate began. :
The administration leaders are
positive that the bill will come from
the finance committee, and, through
the force OF the party caucus, with
free raw wool and sugar in three years
remaining unscathed.
But amendments to the sugar and
wool schedules will, of course, be Of
fered on the floor of the senate, and
the democrats who will remain
avowedly against the bill as it is re,
ported will be expected to vote for
them. Even then, the leaders assert,
the bill can be passed as President
Wilson approves it.
May Need P~oindexter's Vote.
They admit, however. that it prob
ably will require the vote of Vice Pres
ident Marshall to pass the bill, unless

progressive in the senate, votes for the
