The Former Secretary of State Refuses

ference, However.

Washington. Sept. 23--Former Sec
rotary of State William Jennings Bryan
spent nearly an hour with the president
at the White House yesterday. He
emerged in the best of humor, and jok
ingly evaded the attempts of newspaper
men to learn the nature of the confer
ence.
81 don't want to discuss any subject
at this time" he said, "for fear it might
be connected with my talk with the
president. / have no plans for speak
ing campaign on the subject of national
defense, but ! don't want to bar my
self from talking about it,"
Mr.. Bryan showed none of the irrita-

his resignation.
The former secretary left Washington
last night for Miami, Fla, and win go
to Texas and Arkansas before his re-
turn TO Washington on Oct. 10.

State Department Has All
but Two of the Seized
Documents
NO FURTHER ACTION
TILL THESE ARRIVE
Austrians' and Ambassador
Bernstorf's Missives Com
ing-No Official Word

Washington, Sept. 23.--Acting Secre
tary of State Polk announced yesterday
that the department. now il in possession
OF all but two Of the documents taken
from James L. j. Archibald, which re-
suited in the request for the recall of the
ambassador for Austro- Hungary. II
was declared that until the remaining
letters, one from DIR. Dumba to his for
eign office, ION political subjects" and
one from Count Won Bernstorf, reach the
the department, no further action which
might affect other persons implicated
will be taken.
All correspondence made public by the
British government, it was made plain,
was before the department in the form
OF summaries of cabled dispatches when
President Wilson decided upon the re-
call of the Austrian ambassador,
Publication Of some of the letters has
aroused considerable speculation here as
to what the future course of the govern
ment may be with regard to some offi-
Gals of the Austrian and German embas-
sizes. Officials would not comment on the
letter of Captain Fritz Won Papen, the
German military attache, in which he
said: Il always say to these idiotic
Yankees that they had better hold their
tongues" Whether any action would
be taken by the government relating to
Won Papen, officials would not disclose.
The copy of DR.. Dumba's letter, in
which the ambassador of Austria Hun
gary comments on the attitude of Presi-
dent Wilson and Secretary Lansing, it
was said, had not yet reached the de-
partment. Five of the letters made pub
lie in Great Britain Tuesday also were
given out by the state department yes
terday.
In addition to correspondence already
published, the department divulged q
transaction of a letter addressed TO the
royal minister of war, Berlin by Won
Papen dated New York, August 90 re-
garding probable sale OF war materials |
to the Dutch and Norwegian govern |
ments. The translation of the letter |
was as follows:
Recently news has come in here from
various sources that the Dutch and Nor |
wegian governments are buying war mu- |
milton, such as powder. toluoi, etc.
81 respectfully beg the royal minister /
OF war to be good enough to let me know |
whether there would be any objection
to sale of war material by us to the
countries mentioned, in the event of the
governments or their representatives
guaranteeing that no further sale of
the goods shall take place.
"0n the Norwegian government could
probably unload a large portion of the
Iehigh Coke company's toluoi which is
lying here useless in storage"

as soon as possible come into possession
of money with which TO resume opera
tons.
The moratorium, on the other hand,
presented difficulties which have not yet
been overcome. After hearing the rep
reservations of chambers of commerce,
individual manufacturers and other bus
mess men, the new banking department
attached to the civil government at Brus-
sells saw that hasty action must be
avoided; and up to the present time the
continues in force.
Still another function of the banking
department is to prevent the payment
Of money TO citizens of hostile coun-
tries, in harmony with measure de-
creed by the German government for
Germany in retaliation for similar ac-
lion already taken by England. The de-
partment also superintends reeeiverships
Tor foreign concerns established in Bel
gium, especially branches of French
banks. For this course, it is claimed
again, English action has given the pre-
sedent, all the branches OF German
banks at London having been placed,
quite early in the war, in charge of gov
receivers.

SUCCESS OF BIG LOAN
VIRTUALLY ASSURED
Announcement of Agreement for $780,
100000 Advance by America Ex-
pected Within 40 Hours.

New York, Sept. 23.--The success Of
the Anglo French financial commission
seeking to establish big credit loan her,
to Great Britain and France, is virtual
ly assured in the opinion Of American
financieTs in close touch with the sit
uation yesterday. Announcement setting
forth that an agreement had been reached
was expected by Wall street within IS
hours. The optimistic view of the situa.
tion which was entertained by many OF
the bankers who have been comforting
with the commission during it's l2.day
stay here was not dimmed by the report
that two details were yet to be agreed on
by the conferees. These two details.
however, it was reported, were not re-
garded as of prime Importance.
As outlined by American bankers, the
proposed credit loan will be for approx
mately S7O0,000.O00. Ii will be issued
on fiye-year joint Angle. French notes
which probably will be convertible on
maturity, at the holders option. into
joint Anglo French Az per cent bonds
20 years, or Whereabouts, from
the date of issue. The flve-year notes
will be sold TO the investor at par and
TO the big underwriting syndicate at
something less than par, estimates as TO
this figure ranging between 97is and 80
per cent.

White House Is Making Test
Of Public Sentiment
on Matter
REVISION OF RULES
BUSINESS PROPOSED
No Immediate Decision on
Plan Is Expected-Would
Revive Treaties

Washington, Sept. 23.-The White
House is sounding public sentiment on
the idea of special autumn session of
the Senate for the primary purpose of
revising the rules. The president CON
ferfed yesterday morning with Senator
Stone, chairman of the foreign relations
commission on this matter 1t is inti-
mated no decision will be reached for
a week or ten days. 1t looks as IL the
White House at present favors the call
ing OF such session, provided it can
be done with a reasonable amount of APP
prevail on the part OF the country and
OF the Senate itself.
1t is believed here that a session of
this kind would accomplish little if any.
thing The Democrats of the Senate
are divided on the cloture proposition,
and the Republicans are against it. 1t
is stated on high authority that the
presidents mind is still open as to the
merits of cloture. We're he to call a
special session for the purpose of con-
sidering the question the net result
would probably be series of time-con-
Stunning speeches and no concrete re-
suit.
At such session the administration
would endeavor to press the Columbian
and Nicaraguan treaties for ratification.
These treaties would, of course, precipi-
tate controversy, and there would be
very little chance, in view of the low
state of the treasury. of securing the
s25,000000 appropriation for the pay
uent of alleged obligations on the Pana-
ma canal account. The Nicaraguan
.reaty stands a much better show of |
and with it the administya-
ion would probably offer somewhat |
iimilar treaty applying to Hayti. the
argest country to come under the strong

BELGIAN FACTORIES
ARE RESUMING
German Administration of Financial
System of the Country Has Re-
suited in Starting Some of
the Wheels Of Industry.

n Brussels, Belgium, Sept. 23.-The Ger
man administration in Belgium has so
far succeeded in reeonstructing the f.
nancial system Of the country that a
number of the larger businesses, such
as the big factories, coal mines and
banks which practically came to a
standstill a year ago, have been able to
resume operations.
/ The withdrawal of the directors of
the National bank OF London in August,
1914, who took with them its gold stock
and the plates for printing notes, left
the country without solid basis for
its currency system. Notes were in cir
cnlation, bnt there was no gold with
which to redeem tham and there was
danger that the circulation might be
further expanded through new issues
OF the Belgian government in London,
which could easily be struggled into the
country. Soon after the occupation of
Belgian territory the German govern
ment deputized DR.. Won Lumm, one of
the most efficient directors of the Reichs
bank, to proceed to Belgium and take
in charge the rehabilitation of the cur
ency system. As the officials of the
National bank had refused to return to
Brussels or restore its assets, it became
necessary to find new way of securing
the note circulation,
AT the same time the German authori- |
ties were levying war contributions upon
various Belgian cities to raise money
for meeting the expenses of governing
the occupied territory-contribut |
Il -, h.. -,
form of cash. The cities We're therefore |
asked to issue their certificates of in
debtedness payable at some future time,
and it was decided to use these as one |
form Of security for new notes, besides
bank balances abroad German gold and /
other currency. As the National bank
had refused to continue the further dis
charge of its functions, the note-issuing
power was conferred upon the Societe
General de Belgique, the oldest and larg
est banking company in the country.
This concern has now been serving for
some months as bank of issue, and its
notes have come into general circula- +
ton. Especially its smaller notes are
in great demand. the silver currency hav-
ing long ago disappeared by reason of
boarding.
The other important financial tasks

fixing OF indemnities 20 be paid for sup ,

URGE YUAN TO LET
PEOPLE DECIDE
CHINA'S FATE
Council Of State Advises the President
to Call Citizens Convention to
Act on New Constitution.


Picking, China, Sept. 23.-The council
OF state, sitting as the provisional con-
gress, advised President Yuan shi.Kai
yesterday TO call citizens convention
before the end of the present year, to
act on new constitution, which will
settle the question whether China is to
be a republic or a monarchy.
The provisional constitution provides
that citizens convention, called by
the people, must approve constitutional
changes, but the memorandum of the
council of state suggests that Yuan Shi-
kai may "devise other proper and ade-
quate means to consult the peoples will,
with the view that fundamental solu-
tion be found, so that the general stu.
alton may be settled and the peoples
mind be eased."
This recommendation transfers the re-
sponsibility to Yuan Shi-Kai, 1t is gem
orally believed that he will call citi-
zens' convention promptly, although
there are rumors to the effect that he
will designate the council Of state as
citizens convention, thus avoiding the
necessity of holding an election.
