AUTONOMY NOT A SUGGESE /‘ . .. 113.. the Pending Treaty Cannot b3 Ratifled He Will Urge u LflW' 01 Like Eflect—Secretury Porter. tr Resign. Washington, Nov. 16.—President Mc- Kinley has begun active work on his annual message to Congress. He is anxious to complete it before the Sena- tors and Representatives return, and office-seekers are receiving little atten- tion at the White House. ‘ g It is known that the question of Ha: waiian‘ annexation is commanding the greatest attention in the preparation of the message. It will be made even to overshadow the Cuban question in importance. Favors Rutiiying' the Treaty. Incoming Congressmen, who are be- ginning to arrive at Washington in considerable numbers, agree that the subject will be one of the first to re- ceive serious attention at the forth- coming session. Much interest is felt in the expression. of President McKin- ley’s views and desire-s as they will be revealed in his message. 7 It is contended by every one that he will urge‘the Senate to ratify the pend- ‘ing treaty, but if that cannot be rea— sonably expected within a short time he will be satisfied with the passage of an act providing for the annexation of the territory of the islands, which would be just as effective as the ratifi- cation of the treaty. Mr. McKinley, however, expects the Senate to ratify the treaty promptly. Opposition to the ratification of the treaty is looked for, from the repre- sentatives of States particularly inter— ested in the production. of sugar. To Annex to California. Messrs. Thurston, of Nebraska, and Perkins, of California, however, are ranged with the supporters of the treaty. Much of the opposition is based on a reluctance to make a State of the isl- ands, inasmuch as the entire popula-- tion is only about one hundred thou— sand. To meet this a proposition is being discussed to add the territory to one of the Pacific States—California probably—as a county. Few appointments are to be made until Congress convenes, and those that are made will be for unimportant places. Senators Elkins and Fairbanks and Congressman Fischer, of Brooklyn, were among those admitted to the White House to-day. The two Sena- tors talked with the President on mat- ters that will be cemmented on in his message, while the Brooklyn Repre— sentative wanted to talk of candidates ‘Eor local offices. CENTRAL PACIFIC NEXT. Foreclosure Proceedings May Fol- low a Default in Interest. Washington, Nov. 16.—Ex-Gov. Hoad- ley, counsel for the United States in ‘the Pacific Railroad foreclosure litiga- tion, was in Washington yesterday in consultation with Attorney—General McKenna. They were discussing the line of action to be followed by the Gov ernmént should the Central Pacific rJompany default on its payment of in- terest due on Jan. 1 next. The first mortgage bondholders, it is said, un- dei stood that the interest will not be paid, and in that case it is probable 'that the. Government will uni e with them in foreclosure proceedings. Nothing has yet been heard f1 cm the Reorganization commutes of the Union Pacific regarding its intention respecting the Kansas Pacific, but the Attorney-General is still confident that theGovernment will realize every dol— 2-.r of the indebtedness of that line, as t has done on the Union Pacific- This View of the probabilities of the situa- tion is also held by Senator Harris, of Kansas, who has an intainate personal KnOWiCdge of the condition of the road. He says it will pay 4 or 5 per cent. on 530,000,000 of. securities. The Senator was opposed to the plan for dealing with the corporations adopted by the AdministIation, but now commends that course, as it has resulted in se- curing all he ever contended for, the payment of the Government’s claim. Centenarian at the White House. Washington, Nov. 16.—The .most in- teresting person at the regular. public reception at the White House yester-. day aftemoon was Andrew Montgom- ery, of Atlanta, Ga... who says he is l03 years old. Uncle Andrew did not appear to be over 60. His hair and mustache were pure white,b1:t he walked with a. vigor that Seemed to belie his claim to having passed the century mark. He explained to those with whom he talked at the Vx’hite House that he had come to Washing- ”;on to solicit subscriptions for :the erec- tion of a home for aged negroes. Pres- ‘dent McKinley received him cordially, and the old man went away smiling and happy. Soldiers and Sailor-15’ Monument. Albany, Nov. 16.——- Assemblyman Geo. 1‘.

Merriam Says It Is Necessary to Prosperity. ’ BUSINESS MEN DEMAND IT Congresurnun Fowler on His Mone- tary Bill—Government Should Be- '- tire Its Demand Obligations—Lei the Banks Conduct Commerce. Washington, Nov. 16.—Ex-Goy. Mer- riam, of Minhesota, who is in this city and has had frequent conferenceswith the President, said yesterday: “There is no questiou before the ,American people. that begins to equal in importance the movement for a re- form in on; monetary system.» We can- not have thorough and permanent prosperity until.the. national finances are put on an indisputably solid basis. The businessmen of the country, re- alizing that the fruits of last year’s victory are not complete until this is brought about, are looking to see Con- gress take the matter up and deal with it energetically and patriotically. The Monetary Commission is working along right lines, and their plan, when formulated, while not likely to be ac—i cepted in all its details, will, no doubt, be valuable to the legislators. 1 “Personally, I favor the retirement of the greenbacks, which will always be a source of danger. They' were a necessity of a war epoch, but the time has come when, in the interest of a stable system some better plan should be adopted. The danger of currency contraction is overestimated, for it is easy to provide other forms of money. “In the meantime the country is get- ting" in good Shape. In my section everybody feels the improvement. Our cereals have brought large revenues to the _farmers, and another ,leading source of wealth, lumber, is in demand at better prices. My belief is that at least we are touching the edge of pros- perity, if we have not as yet pierced its centre.” Mr. Fowler’s Currency Measure. Washington, Nov. 16.—Representa- tive Fowler, of New Jersey, has col- lated the comments of the financial press on his explanation of his cur- rency reform measure. In addition to the arguments advanced in his address‘ Mr. Fewler says: “Our present system of currency is such that the slightest doubt thrown upon our ability or disposition to main- tain it upon a gold basis shakes every business to its very _foundation, ‘ spreads devastation of values every- [ where, paralyzes enterprises and brings upon our people losses of 'un- told millions. In addition to this (lis- turbance to business and incompre- hensible loss to the people,rthe Actuary of the Treasury has informed us 'that since 1879 it has cost the Government . $339,984,222 to maintain our paper upon a gold basis, or an average of $21,: 000,000 per annum. This shock to cpm- merce, loss to the people and cost to the Government can be obviated by gthrowing the maintenance of our stan- dard of value upon the banks, where the burden belongs. “The Government should retire its demand obligations and let the banks assume the conduct of commerce, tak- ing with it the right of note issue upon certain conditions. As a first consider. ation or the privilege they should carry the Government debt at a rate of in- terest not to exceed 2 per cent., there— by saving to the people more than fif- teen millions in interest annually. As a second consideration they should maintain gold payments by currently redeeming their notes in gold, which should be guaranteed by thefpayment of a sufficient sum'into the Treasury 'of the United States in the form of a. tax upon circulation. In addition to such guarantee fund the Government should have a. first lien upon the as- sets of the banks (which now exceeds seven billions of dollars) for the pur- pese of ultimate redemption in case of a failure. As a. third consideration they should be required to pay into the United States Treasury a sufficient tax upon deposits to insure all depos- itors in national'banks against loss in case of failure. Such a tax would not have exceeded an average. of one— twelft‘h of 1 per cent. per annum dur- dug the past thirty- three years, which is an infinitesimal sum compared with the great advantage to be derived therefrom, not only ’to the people, but to the banks themselves. “Certainly, the saving annually of "more than thirty-six millions in inter- est and the cost of maintaining gold payments with an absolute guarantee to the note holders and depositors in our national banks against loss would not only be an adequate, but a rich consideration of note issue."
