previously had held the position.
Bluejackets from the international
fleet lying off the Albanian coast have
been sent ashore to guard the foreign
legations.
The assault which began at o'clock
was carried out by three separate
columns OF insurgents.
Today's attack came as a surprise to
the residents OF the capital, where Of
fetal statements had asserted that the
mussulman rebellion against the rule
Of Prince William had been defeated
and that the remnant Of the rebel
forces was surrounded.
Accounts vary as to the strength
OF the opposing forces in the field. 1t
generally is estimated, however, that
the government has 5000 trained men
who are said to be opposed by about
~, 600 insurgents. The rebels for the
most part are tribesmen without dis
cipIine and they are scattered over
z wide range Of country.

Washington, June Is. - Secretary
McAdoo again stands ready to lend a
hand TO Western and Southern banks
in case they need money for crop
moving purposes The plan Of lending
government money TO the banks in
agricultural districts for use during
crop moving season last year was so
successful that 1t will be adopted this
year. If the necessity arises.
Money loared by the treasury depart
ment last year was secured mostly by
comm ercial paper and all the borrow
ed money had been returned to the
treasury by April l together with in
terest amounting to $260,000. The to-
tai amount loaned to banks was $37,-
5000. 1t went to 19S banks in g.
cities of IS states.
Secretary McAdoo announced he
would lend S5O00000 but that much
was not sought. In fact, the secre-
tary stood ready to lend as much as
100000, 900 had the banks in the farm

Washington, June 10 President
Wilson today fatty declared that de-
spite what he characterized as deli
berate campaign by certain interests
toAobtain an adjournment of congress
End the pOstponement of the admins
tration trust legislation program, he
would use every influence to get the
pending bills through the senate at
this session.
The president disclosed his belief
that the organized distribution of cir
cular letters and kilograms among
business men, members of congress
and other officials, calling for an ad-
journnent of congress, halt in trust
bills, increase in railroad freight rates
and a 'rest for business is responsible
for what he recently termed a ply
sioiogical depression"
Supporting these views the White
House made public copies of letters
and telegrans brought in by the ad-
1nlnistra tion's friends. One letter was
circulated by the Simmons Hardware
company of st. Louis and another
purported to have been distributed by
-the Pictorial Review Co of New York
/ over the signature of w. l. Ahnelt,
president.
The pFesidents declaration and pub
EcAti9r of the letters caused a SEN
-sa tIon approaching that following the
presidents deuunciation Of the IN
siduous lobby" which he said threat
tors and representatives discussed the
situation but no action was taken.
NO EFFECT ON HIM.
President Wilson made It clear to
his callers that the campaign, il such
1t may be called, would have no ef-
feet upon him and that it was his plan
to push tho trust program through
the senate with the aid Of all the
means at his command. He expressed
the view THAI business was as good,
If not hetter now than while ago
and that it would be less harmful to
the business of the country TO have
the trust legislation program COM
pIeted than to be confronted with
period of uncertainty which would ac-
company delay.
One OF the circular letters, which
came into possession Of the White
House and which was given out to-
day, was circulated by the Simmons
Hardware Company Of ST Louis. L.
G. Simmons, the head of tho company
had been selected as a member of the
federal reserve board and his nomi-
nation was TO have gone to the SEN
ate today. This morning it was an
no1nced at the White House that Mr.
Simmons had declined the place and
that Charles A. Hamlin, of Boston,
now an assistant secretary of the
treasury. would be nominated in his
place. White House officials emphai
calIy denied, however, that the circular
letter sent out by the Simmons Com
pany had any connection with the de-
clination of Mr.. Simmons.
Another circular letter made public,
reported to have been sent out by the
pictorial Review Company Of New
York and was signed by w. P. Ahnelt
as president. 1t was dated May 1st
and enclosed a draft of a letter which
embraces the views Of a majority of
thu thinking business people of our
section of the country and which
should be addressed to the president
of the United States, the congress and
the members of the Interstate COM
merce respectively.
