POWERS SHUN EXPOSITION
England, Germany and Japan
Have Not Accepted Invitation.

Washinston July 29-Persons here in
terested in the Panama-Pachc Exposition
in san Francisco i'm 1915 are considerably
perturbed over the failure Of Great Brit
ain. Germany. Japan and other countries
to accept the invitation sent them about
a year ago to participate in the celebra-
ton. The state Department is taking an
interest in the matter. and shortly an
agent will go out from Washington to call
on the diplomats accredited 10 the United
States, most Of whom are spending the
summer out Of Washington
II is said in official circles that Great
Britain is holding off on account OF the
American attitude in the Panama Canal
tolls matter, a settlement Of which Eng
land wants, while there is no indication
that this country is doing anything about
IT, II would be too much TO say that
the inactlon OF England is responsible
for other countries failing 10 respond. but
il is nevertheless considered a fact that
If England should announce her intention
Of participating in the exposition the
other great nations would promptly do
the same thing.
Although the exposition is more than a
year and half off, it is considered that
it is none too soon to learn whether the
other nations will participate.

CURRENCY BILL DRAGS
No Vote on Insurgent Amend
ment Till Last Moment.
TFrom me Tribune Bureau !

Washington, July 29.-Continuing their
honor -bound-not-to-tell what-happens
conference. the Democrats Of the House
Banking and Currency Committee made
slow progress to-day on the administra-
tion currency bill, which is TO be thrown
for salvation into a party caucus on
August II.
Representative Bulkley, near insurgent
member Of the committee, again met
defeat in an attempt to curb the powers
Of the federal reserve board, which the
Ohio member says is given too much
authority under the administration bill.
Mr. Bulkley sought 20 strike from the
bill subsection "C' of section u, which
gives the board power, among other
things. TO suspend for period not ex-
ceeding thirty days and TO renew such
suspension for periods not 10 exceed hf-
teen days any and every reserve re-
quirement specified in this act The
Bulkley motion was defeated S TO 3.
The Democrats, who will continue their
secret conferences for another week or
ten days. will postpone until the last
moment a vote on the Henry Ragsdale
amendments. representing the views of
the insurgent faction in the committee
and House. These amendments strike at
the fundamentals of the bill and provide
or an enlarged reserve board and for a
scheme Of currency based on warehouse
receipts covering the chief agricultural
products.

Democrats Warned, Under Pen
atty of Prolonged Session,
to Postpone Currency.
ULTIMATUM BY GALLINGER
Filibuster Charge Futile, Says
Sutherland, in View OF
Protracted Delib-
erations.
From The Tribune Bureau. J

Washington, July 29.-An ultimatum
was delivered to the Democrats OF the
Senate to-day, as forecasted in The
Tribune dispatches, that If currency was
to he considered at the present session Of
Congress the debate on the tarin wouId
be indefinitely prolonged.
The question of final vote on the
tariff bill was brought up by Senator
Brandegee who submitted telegram
from former Representative Ebenezer
Hill. calling attention to the depression
I'm the wool industry because OF the un-
certainty regarding the date when the
new law would go into effect. Senator
Brandegee urged the Democratic leaders
to fix, II possible. A definite date wheh
the final vote might be taken.
The Democratic leaders. admitting that
the request was legitimate one at
tempted to fasten the responsibility tor
the delay in the passage OF the tarlr OH
upon the Republicans. Senator Lodge
replied by asserting that II was only nat
ural that II Senators were 10 be obliged
20 remain I'm session indefinitely to COM
plv with the demands OF the adminlstra-
ton for the enactment Of currency legls-
lation. they would not be disposed TO
hurry tariff legislation.
II assurances can be given said
Senator Gallinger. that Congress Will
adjourn when the vote on the tarin Dill
IS taken. every effort will he made by
this side OF the chamber 10 expedite
vote IN the tariff bill by meeting earlier
and ourtaling speeches on the subject
II no assurance is given the debate VIII
probably continue Indefinitely
Senator Sutherland called attention 70
the fact that the bill had been in the
hands Of the Democrat members OF the
Finance Committee and the Democratic
caucus COR two months inumatlng That
the majority could not Justly charge the
Republicans with ilibustering
The reason FOR to-day's discussion lies
in the fact that Senators on both sides
Of the chamber are much ayerse TO taking
up currency al the present session or
Congress and are insistent upon adjourn
ing to rccuperate from the almost con-
tinuous labors in which they have been
engaged for the last four years. Inc
prediction was made to-day that. even If
the President should insist upon currency
legislation at the present session, lie
would not succeed. and that quorum OF
the Senate would not be obtainable once
the tariff bill was out OF the way.
Senator Sterling to-day charged the
Democrats with overurning one of the
fundamental policies of the country IN
their tarih revision without the sanction
OF a majority Of the voters Of the country.
Senator Sterng declared the country was
not ready to abandon the policy Of protec-
tion.
