The failure to secure a quorum in that body is attributed to the ab- seHce of Catholic senators, and there is much curiosity here to learn Wheth- CT their action in preventing quorum resulted from opposition to General Huerta or was in pursuance of that officials plan to postpone the direct issue involved in the warning by the United States against conYeking con- gTess.
 Meanwhile the failure of congress to effect even a preliminary organization in both branches delays the execution Of so much of the programme of Presi- dent Wilson as was to be put in opera ton as soon as the body was in full legislative action, No one outside of the presidents council chamber is yet aware of the nature of the programme, but it is said that through the whole course of events the American policy will be shaped by circumstances as they arise.

AMERICAN SAILORS
 "CuT UP" AT NAPLES.
Newspapers Accuse Them of Rowdy-
 ism on the Streets.

Rome, Nov. 16.-Whne the behavior of the American sailors for the most part has been exemplary, some of the newspapers complain that at Naples the actions of q few bluejackets were "deplorable." In some instances, these papers charge, peaceful citizens were molested. and the behavior of the sailors caused eXasperation, notwith- standing the traditional hospitality of the NeapOiitan people towards foreign sailors.
 Several figh15 nave occurred among the sailors themselves with the result that some of the men have been taken to hospitals. Several incidents are cited which, although not very serious in themselves caused not a little an noyance In one case a sailor put a bottle of champagne in his pocket and declined to pay more than ten cents for it. He was followed by the pro- prietor of the place. who was roughly handled when he attempted to recover his property: Tn another case a group of sailors tore q feather from a wom- ans hat and struggled among them selves as to who should wear it in his cap.
 The newspapers urge the authorities to check such occurrences.

 dents to be Prepared.

Mexico City, Nov. 16-The British minister, Sir Lionel Garden, explained this afternoon that his instructions to British residents in Mexico were not in the nature of an order to leave their places of residence, except in the case of those located in the. more inaccess- ible towns. It was simply a precau- tionary measure intended 10 prepare them in the event that circumstances should demand their removal.
 Sir Lionel said that he had no infor- nation indicating that such neces- sity was imminent, but desired his countrymen 0tfeel that their govern ment was manifesting a proper inter- est in their welfare and safety.

4 Revision of
 Banking Laws
PLANNED TO MEET THE NEW
 CURRENCY SYSTEM
FOR FARMERS BENEFIT
Rural Credits Commission Soon to Make Recommendations Prohib- it lnterlocktng Bank Directorates.

Washington, Nov. 16-With the ad- ministration currency bill to be re- ported to the senate this week, after long delay, plan to revise the nation al banking laws to meet the new cur rencS- system has made it's appearance in legislative circles It will include important questions originally contem- plated as part of the currency bill, but set aside until the next session of congress, when a general revision of banking laws has been promised by the administration.
 Cheaper Money for Farmer.
 In connection with this proposed re- vision, congress will take up the far reaching question of rural credits, the problem of providing cheaper money for the farmer, who now mortgages his land at high rates of interest to secure ready funds. The rural credits com mission, after an exhaustive investi- gation of the subject including an ex- animation of farm loans systems abroad, is at work on a report to con- gress which will recommend some sort sion expects to report early in the next session.
 lnterIocking Directorates.
 The many recommendations of the trust Investigating committee of the house, which went into the ques- ton of Concentra tion of money and credits exhaustively during the last also will be used in the work of revision. The regulation of clear ing house associations and stock eX- changes by federal law will be consid- cred in this connection. One of the provisions which probably will be in serted in the new law will forbid in terlOcking directorates in national banks An effort has been made to put this prohibition in the pending bill, but the administration has maintained that it should go into the new banking, law.
 Anti-Tr Programme.
 Advocates of the bank law revision plan are seeking to place their projects ahead of the proposed antitrust legls- lation in the administration pro- gramme The antitrust programme is being vigorously discussed, but has not yet taken definite form, so far as the administration is concerned, al- though many individual measures are in the house and senate.
