Blame Them With the Low Prices of Government 7onds--Banks
 Blame Government.

Washington, D. C., Aug. B. The House today passed reso- lution authorizing a committee to probe the recent charges made by Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo that the banks of the country were trying to depress government bonds and had fore ed them to the lowest price ever known.
 Bankers. however, assert that the low price of the bonds was caused by the announcement of the government that the Treas ury department would no longer issue paper money, upon deposit by the banks of the bonds with the Treasury department, and that therefore the great value of the bonds to the banks was talk dn away and a large field of sale cut off, and naturally the price dropped.

MEXICO |S NOT
 WORRYING EUROPE
Secretary Bryan Denies Powers Are Demanding Action to
 Settle Troubles.

Washington, D. G., Aug. D. Secretary of State Bryan denies the report widely published in the newspapers that the big Euro pean powers are demanding that the United States take some a1- firmative action to settle the in ternal troubles of the Mexican republic. He says the European foreign offices have not urged any interference. The secretary also denies that the Mexican sit ualion is such as to require im- mediate intervention for the pro lection of foreigners and their property.
 The administration is trying to prevent the appearance of Am- bassador Wilson before the House committee, which is con- sidering Mexican affairs. Both the president and Secretary Bry- an are anxious to handle the Mexican difficulty without any more publicity than is bound to creep out through new sources. They feel that if the matter is left entirely to the State depart ment it can be managed with less political embarrassment to the administration than if congress meddles with it. They are using all their influence to quiet agi- tatiOn.

Ways and Means Committee Re- ceive Only GO Answers Out
 of 2,500 Circulars.

Washington, D. C., Aug. D. Only 60 out of 2,5O0 manufac- turers s,who received circulars from the Ways and Means con- mittee of the House asking them to immediately answer the ques- tions propounded in the circu- lar have beeh signed.
 The effort of the committee to secure tirSt-hand information under oath from the manufac- turers as to the cost of produc- tion, the wages paid, the amount of production, and other ques- tions, is baff'led by the action of the manufacturers.
 It was expected that manufac- turers could be compelled to an- swer all the questions and swear to the answers, or be in con- tempt of the House. The manu- lecturers, however, take a dif- ferent view and have refused to answer.

St. Petersburg, Aug. 2.--In response to the invitation from the United States government and the officials of the Panama Pacific Exposition company, Rus- sia has declined to participate in the Frisco Fair in 1915.
 No explanation is made for the refusal by the government, to spend money asld make an exhibit of the resources of the cOuhtrN but it is believed that it is be- cause of the breaking of the commercial treaty between the Unted States and this govern- ment when America protested against the refusal of Russia to allow Americanized Russian Jews to return to Russia and vis- it parents and relations.

Berlin, Germany, Aug. 2.--The German government has post poned action on the question of participating in the exhibition at San Francisco in 1915 for one month, and it in gdnerally be- lieved here that Germany will not make an exhibit.
 The hotel owners in Berlin are protesting against the action of the gOvernmdnt, claiming that Americans who now spend mill. lions annually in this city, will cut out European tours which in clude Germany, and that Ger many will suffer more than will America. The manufacturers are also protesting, claiming that made in Germany 39 goods for sale In the United States will become of memory only and that the American people, who are the best customers of Germany made toys and other manufactured ar ticles, have it in their power to retaliate.
 The gOVernent. however, is de- sirous of teaching America a les son and is inclined not to eX- hibit.

Washington, D. G., Aug. D. The House Currency committee has concluded it's work on the currency bill and it will be re- ported to the House Monday.
