PUTS CAREON BANKS (Continued from first Psgo.) measure a number of propositions, which bad been urged separately heretofore. Mr. Fowler explains tho purpose of the bill aa follows: . . "Tba purposaa of tho bill are: To trans far from tbo government to the banks the responsibility of protecting tho necessary gold reserve and the burden of furnishing gold tor export, thereby saving our com" meroe from the destructive apprehensions growing out of trade upon the ''gold In the treasury, ' which can now only be re plenished by a tax Imposed upon the peo ple through the sale of bonds; to provide a currency always responsive and equal to the demaada of trade everywhere and to equalise and lower the average rate of Interest In all parta of the United Btatea) to secure for American enterprise and American capital tho privilegea and eppor- tuntttee In engaging In International bank ing under tho national law, and ao lay a foundation upon which to build aa Ameri caa merchant marine; to remove the last vestige of doubt with regard to our standard . of valuee. For International Beaklaa;. "The measure provides for international banking and a division of banking and eur rency Is established under a board of con trol Instead of a single Individual in the ' person of .the comptroller of the currency aa heretofore. The board will consist of three members, whose terms of office are for twelve years, so arranged that only one member will accede every four yeara. "If the measure now Introduced ahould become a law, it la confidently believed that the national banks will assume the ourrent redemption in gold coin of $1SO,OM,000 of United Btatea notes. in considers, tlon of the obligation assumed by the ne tlonal banks, they will have the right dur lng the succeeding five rears to lasue gradu ally, as buaineaa may require, an amount of bank notes equal to 0 per cent of their paid up and unimpaired capital; provision being made also for an. emergency droula- tloa. ' "Aa the netea are taken out for circula tion th banka will deposit with the gov ernmeat, a guarantee fund of 5 per cent of me amount or tne notes so issued. The na tional banka hereafter, will Je required to pay Interest upon the government deposit at the rate of 1 per cent per annum. To Protect Bask Motes. "Thla ( per eent guarantee fund and the tan upon the bank sotee will be used, to protect the bank notes and the excess of auoh taxes with the interest on the gov erment deposits will be used to pay off the United States notes, which the banka assume to currently redeem. It Is asserted that the whole 1110,000,000 of United Btatea notes, which the banka have aaaumed to currently redeem, will be paid off In thirty yeara out of the taxes collected upon clr eulatlon and Interest paid by the banks upon government deposits. , Clear la Honae Diet riots. "The' United States will be dirtied Into clearing house districts to facilitate the current redemption, of the bank aotea. ao that the amount of notes outstanding at any tine always will be eo-ordlnated with the amount of trading to be done, precisely as checks and drafts reflect the amount of the commercial work being carried on.

SSccutet FATE OF TflE IRRIGATION BILL Clear Majority ia tba House Farori the Senate Measure, PRESIDENT'S ORDER AGAINST LOBBYING Employes of Department Contlnne the aystea la Spit of Roosevelt's Edict Demand of Cities for Pahlla Bnllatnfts. ' (From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, March 9. (Special.) The aenate baa dtaposed of the irrigation bill. What will become of tbe meaaure in the bouse Is aa "pen question. It Is evi dent that Speaker Henderaon Is not par ticularly favorable to tbe Irrigation policy, notwithstanding ths fact tbat both political parties committed tberneelvee to It In their laat national platforms. There Is, however. decided determination upon the. part of the western and northwestern men to force to the house to take action and no one has been more Industrious tewarde this end than Represenatlve Francis O. Newlanda of Nevada. In point of population Nevada la the smallest state In the unlpn, but few states, even among those ranking as the first, are represented In the lower house of congress by a more able, painstaking and conscientious man than Mr. Newlanda. It has not always been the largest states that Lave had the ablest representation )n Wash ington. For many years the state of Maine outclaesed them all, that le, when tbat great quartet. Reed, Dlngley, Boutelle and Mlllt ken, filled the four seats assigned to Maine In the lower bouse. Delaware haa aant men like Bayard, Saulsbury and Oray to the senate. Mr. Newlanda undoubtedly haa a personal interest In eecurtng irrigation legislation, for no stats In the union will more greatly benefit from the introduction of a national policy of water atorage and distribution that will Nevada. Then, too, it must be remembered that no member repreaentlng the arid and eeml-arld region had had auoh a long period of continued aervioe as the Nevada member. Nor baa anyone atudied the subject. In all Its bearings In every country of the old world which haa at tempted Irrigation to the extent ef the In vestigation made by Mr. Newlanda. Should the house finally adopt the senate bill or any similar measure, success will be due largely to the efforts of the western men, who formed a committee early in the cession and who selected Senator Warren of Wy oming for chairman and Mr. Newlanda for secretary. This committee aucceeded in bringing together the various Opposing ele ments and It baa neglected ao opportunity to Impress Its views upon Its colleagues. Bo Well haa It carried on Its work that there is toaay a ciear majority in me nouse la- vorablo to the policy of irrigation. Prohibitum of Lofcaylna;. In tiptte of President Roosevelt's order prohibiting employes of the departments engaging la lobbying, a great deal of work of thla sort la going on. , The most indus trious persons during the last month have been eome of the chiefs of divisions of tbe scientific bureaua of the Agricultural de partmcnt. Tbe malls have been literally flooded during the laet week or two with lettere from all sectlona of tbe country, urg lng members to vote for larger approprla tlone than the committee on agriculture seems disposed to recommend. All these letters evidently emanate from one source and that Is the bureau of plaat Industry In the department. It is natural that ex perts employed In solentlflo bureaua ahould uae every means available for Increasing tbe scope of the work which they are called upon to perform, but the plant in duatry people are aaid to have exceeded the limit. If all demanda of this kind should receive attention It would take the entire surplus to run the scientific bureaua of the government for one year. As It Is, the committee on agriculture has been ex tremely liberal to these bureaus of tbe Agricultural department and the money pro vided will undoubtedly materially aid the secretary In extending the inquiries, which have thus far proved ef auoh enormous value to tbe farmers ef the country. Tbe action of the Colombian government In the matter of the Panama canal haa made It practically certain that the offer of the French company will aot. be ac cepted by congreaa. Bvldencee multiply to Indicate that the Central American eoun tries, through which ths eanal might be run, look upon the United States' as a' gold mine. Coeta Rloa and Nicaragua propose to get a bite from Uncle 6em'e 'surplus If they can, and the action of Colombia was undoubtedly taken with the 'Idea of dividing the 140,000,000, which the French company aske - for its so-called assets. Probably the complicatlene whlon have arisen ' and tho developments' which have been unearthed will reault ia nullifying the action during the 'present session ef con gress, in any event, tbe prospects for canal legislation seem to grow dimmer, t Demand for Pnbllo Bnlldlaaa. ..Some Idea ef - the demanda for public buildings which are annually,, presented to congress caa be gathered . from a remark made by Supervising Architect Taylor, who said: "Up to date I have bad 868 bills for new public buildings submitted to me for reports upon the necessity for them elnce this congress assembled la December. This umber does not lake Into account the bills presented for addltlona to "publlo buildings already constructed. There la one of thla latter class," continued Mr. Taylor, "which hae been occupied leas than a month and it la already entirely too email for the bualness of the postofflce In the town In which it le altuated. I refer to the poet office building In Beaumont, Tex. The postal bualneae of Beaumont baa grown ao enorm ously within the past few months that the building waloa waa adequate for tho re quire menta when designed ' la now alto gether too small for the work which must be done there." r ; . What de yea think ef the. proposition submitted to congress some years ago by tbe late Senator Paddock of Nebraska for a general law to provide publlo buildings In all towna where the postal receipta reach a certain figure T" Mr. Taylor was aaked. "I think," he responded, "it would be a good thing for congress to authorise a commission consisting of the postmaster general, ths secretary of the Interior, the secretary of the treasury and the attorney general, which ahould have Jurisdiction In these matters. The commission should be required to report from year to year to congreaa which towns ought to be supplied with public buildings. They are the cabinet officers coming Into closeat contact with the cltlee ef the United Btatea and are better qualified to Judge aa to the advisability ef providing buildings than any other offi cials could be. I believe that It some auch plan aa thie were adopted It would reault la putting up bunding Just wlere they are needed and where the government could save money In the way of rents by erecting buildings." SHIPPING AND ASSAULT BILLS aaaldr Measare Will Divide Time Saaaje ' with rroaldeatlal rrotcetle Bill. WASHINGTON, March .-Tbe attention will be divided again thla week between the ship eubaidy bill and tbe bill providing fee the pualshsasaV of- peraeae who assault or kill tbe preeldent of tbe United States, the former holding the place of unfinished business and the latter coming In for eon- etderatlon when there la no one prepared to speak on the subsidy question. Among those who have announced their Intention to speak on the subsidy bill Is Senator Vest, but the condition of bis health, which re maina far from robust, may prevent his addressing the senate. Senator Mallory also will talk on this subject, but beyond these no set addresses have been announced. However, there undoubtedly will be a num ber of short speeches on the bill. No pre pared speeches on tbe presidential assault bill have been announced, but there Is no doubt the lawyers of the aenate will con tinue to find more or less to say about It whenever opportunity shall offer. At odd times the cslendar will be taken np. Alto gether, the week does not promise to be an exciting one in the aenate. DEFEAT OF BILL PREDICTED Failure to Paas Raral Free Delivery Service Measure a Foregone Conclusion. WASHINGTON, March 8. The house this week, after disposing of the bill to classify the rural free delivery service and place the carriers under ths contract system, will devote Its attention to appropriation bills. The poatofflce appropriation bill, which will be taken up Bret, probably will require three days. It will be followed by the river and harbor bill. It Is regarded aa a foregone conclusion tbat tbe rural free delivery bill will be defeated when the vote Is taken tomorrow.
