In Early Auihhi with Full I??-hhntmH?- Su|?fiort. Washington, Aug. 17.?Congress hav iig yielded to the wishes of Pres? ident Wilson and sent home for its full clothes, members are becoming reconciled to blasted vacation hopes and settling down to complete the tariff revision with deliberation and to take up currency reform without undue haste. When the special session will be ready to adjourn has ceased to be a subject for speculation. No one pre? tends to have any more guesses and leaders in both houses declare that currency legislation is to be com? pleted, even if It is necessary to run right up to the regular session in De? cember. Senator Gallinger, speaking In the tariff debate yesterday of the necessity for Republicans to debate certain proposed rates at length, was asked if he had sent home for his winter clothes, answered with an af? firmative nod. "About 11.69 p. m. on November 30," Speaker Clark Is writing friends who ask him about adjournment. With the currency bill still in the Democratic caucus of the house,, speaker Champ Clark issued a state? ment tonight, in which he asserted that the hill would be sent to the sen? ate early in September with solid Democratic support. Representative Henry, chairman of the house rules committee, also issued a statement relating to the hesitancy of some Democrats to accept the bill as now written. Indications that the senate Democrats propose to make a bill of their own are increasing and efforts to cotqmit them to any currency bill or detnlte policy failed at tne caucus last T*juvsday night. speaker Clark, in his statement as? sert that the Democrats in the Bal? timore convention promised tariff and currency reform. Tbfc promise to re? vise the tariff downward, he said, now wss practically an accomplished fact, while the redemption of the currency promise "Is Just beginning." "That is to say," the speaker con? tinued, 'the currency bill has not yet been presented to the house. Having paused the first stage?that is, action by the Democratic membership of the house committee on banking and cur? rency?whatever difference exists among Democrats is being threshed out in the caucus, the proper place to thresh it out. After caucus action, we will, as we have done on import? ant questions for three years, present a solid front and send the bill to the senate early In September. Abund? ant opportunity for debate and amend? ment will be offered. Nobody has any disposition to railroad it through either the caucus or the house. "Originally Democrats were divided In opinion as to whether the currency question should be disposed at this session or should be passed until th?j regular session, but President Wilson in Cue exercise of his constitutional function delivered his currency mes? sage urging action, since which event the pcbll.' expects currency legislation at this sess on and business men of ail sorts and sizes, farmers, miners, merchants, manufacturers, hankers, etc., desire that a bill shall be passed thereby ending the uncertainty of the situation. "A psrson does not have to rate the (llass-Owen bill as perfect to be? lieve that It is a great Improvement over the patched up system. "What is counted a* among the good features of the hill hy such great agricultural constituencies as I represent is the fact that it makes provision lr, the savings department for loans on improved farming lands, a brand new thing for national banks; another is the fact that it will tend to keep the people's money in places where it Is owned ami not concentrate so much of it in one place; still an other feature which rural folk will indorse Is that It prohibits the loan? ing of bank deposits for purposes of speculation in stocks and bonds, but the best feature of It is the gov? ernmental control of the national banking system. It is objected that 1 it eon fers ton mnch power ??? the several reserve boards, but power must be lodged somewhere, in some I body, and It Is better to lodge it In 'a government board than in private banks "A president s fame will rest laig? ly on the Justice, wisdom and patriot Ism with which the federal reserve boSM uses its great powers and dis? charges Its important duties.

Representative Henry said that slow progress on the currency measure whs natural in view of existing condi? tions. "The Baltimore platform," Mr. Henry asserted, "declares against the Aldrich bill?an asset currency meas? ure. On Friday Mr. Underwood free? ly admitted that this bill undeniably provides for an asset currency. Prac? tically every Democratic representa? tive now freely admits that Mr. Un? derwood correctly interprets it. "And most assuredly, such being the case, the Democratic representatives! are hesitant about embracing it as j now written. Those of us who are j insisting that If this country must go permanently to the doctrine of as? set currency, It should be fair to the farmer and allow him to have money based upon his assets and upon the same terms through which it is ac OOrdSd the banker and commercial list. The farmer and wage earner | should not be overlooked and will not j be If they will wake up and demand their rights." The real battle over the make up Of the currency bill will begin this ^week with the consideration of the measure in the house Democratic caucus, under what is known as the live minute rule for amendments. The principal amendments relate to the rediseounting of paper based on farm? ers' products. Democratic Leader Un- ! derwood and Chairman Glass of the banking and currency committee, are agreed upon elimination of the words "and other securities" from the list of paper, the eligibility to discount the federal reseve board shall have the right to pass upon. They believe that this soculled Glass-Underwood-amend ? ment would sufficiently preserve the credit of paper based upon warehouse receipts, or other well secured agri? cultural products. Mr. Underwood is disposed, however, to accede to amendments that would make this point more clear, if It develops they are necessary. The administration leaders are confident the bill will go through without fundamental chang? es, while those pressing for amend? ments tonight expressed equal con? fidence that the caucus'would finally agree to the substance of their propositions for protection of agricul? tural paper. M??st of the representatives who have been away for weeks have now returned and are ready to take up the currency again whenever the caucus finishes with the bill. Meanwhile the house has adjourned until Tuesday, I when the caucus approved bill to pro- | vide for granting right-of-way for the| $75,000,000 Heteh-Hetehy water sup- j ply project for San Francisco will be| the pending business. Tariff consideration will be enliven? ed this week by discussion of the sugar schedule, the chief bone of con? tention In the tariff bill. Democrat? ic leaders insist that the free sugar proposal wdll carry, despite rumoru of possible deflections from the party ?ytndard. Senators Uansdell and fhornton of Louisiana will vote against the administration schedule, but the leaders do not fear that any Western senators upon whom minor* Ity leaders cast longing eyes, will sup? port any proposed amendment. Sen? ator Simmons, chairman of the finance committee, believes that the fight on sugar should take not more than two or three days; and that free Wool should be disposed of in short time, after which rapid progress through the remaining schedules should be made. Debate is certain to be prolonged, however, on the cotton schedule, after which the income tax and administrative section and the cotton future tax amendment will pre? sent problems for much debate. It will be well into September, if not later before the tariff is ready for conference. I Lobby investigations will continue in committee in both houses during tho week, with the house committee attracting chief attention through re? sumption of the testimony of Form? er Chief Page McMlchaell regarding; ( barges of money paid by pawnbrok? ers In an effort to prevent legisla : Hon. 1 In the senate the credentials t>f Representative Henry D.

Wilson and Bryan Await Reply to Note from United States Delivered by John Liml. Washington, Aug. 17.?The Mexican situation continued apparently tin changed today, with President Wilson and Secretary Bryan awaiting the Huerta government's reply to the pre? liminary note delivered by President Wilson's personal representative, John Lind, to Mexican Foreign Minister Gamhoa, outlining the position of the United States. Mr. Rryan let it be known that he expected no reply for a day or two, The fact that Envoy Lind had estab? lished relations with the Huerta gov? ernment through Minister Gamboa, following reported declarations, which almost threatened deportation of President Wilson's personal - repre? sentative, leads officials here to take a more hopeful view of the situation. Representatives of the constitution alists here are watching developments with keenest interest.

With them the disgrace is in being found oul and punished, something which they are experiencing more frequently in these days of a more enlightened public conscience. ? Wilmington Star.
