Washington. Ott 6.?Political Washington, relieved of the long drawn out consideration of the tariff, will focus its attention this week on the second of the Dem ?cratlc* reform measureH?banking and currency leg? islation. Though the administration currency hi I easily passed th* house, its path? way In the senate admittedly Is full Of obstacles. At present the senate bank. Injr committee has not yet begun con? sideration of the bill. Predictions at the capitol are genenl that the senate < ommlttee will be at work for a month on the measure. While there was tnanlmity on tar? iff revision, widely divergent views are held by Democratic senators on banking reform. A strong desire for a single bank with branches, under Government control, instead of a reg? ional reserve system of banks, has made its appearance in the informal discussion. Other changes of a far reaching character are being suggest? ed and it is regarded generally as doubtful if a hill satisfactory to the senate banking committee can reach the floor of the senate before the mid? dle of November. At the White House there is a con? fidence that the bill will he passed this new Ion or placed on the statute books before the first of the year. The president wants thorough considera? tion of the currency bill and any im? provement that the senate can make upon the measure as passed by the house will be welcomed. His dispo? sition, however, Is to strongly oppose any undue delay. President Wilson be) loves a general decrease In the cost of living that will be felt by the rank and die of the country. Is not also dependent on tariff revision, but up? on prompt reform of the nation's monetary system as well as careful amendment of the sntl-trunt laws. The president's view of the effect the tariff is in accordance with ex Pi essfonn from Hepresentatlve Under V ?od and other Democratic leaders that while reductions in some cases - will be InvTiedlate, ttu> general bene flta will not at once be apparent. Kven ("hotifh the tariff laws might bring man)' Imports Into this country at low rates of free duty, the evils of price filing, under-selling and oth? er discriminations In restraint of trade might, in the president's opinion, dc eat the fruits of tariff reform. Another essential to free competi? tion, in th? president's view, is free lom of credit. With the concentra? tion of credit In what the president described f.s "an Inner circle" even the benefit:* of trust regulation and tariff reduction can be withheld from the consumer by the stifling of enter? prise. None of the odminiat.ration leaders entsrtain tt ?? idea that the tariff will have any adverse effect On the oth? er hand they huva pointed out that an elastic llnancial syatcm is now necesrary more than ever. As soon aa the Dei. ember session opens, the administration will begin to centre Its attention on the unti-trust pro? gramme. There is no Intention at the White House to draft the Administra? tion measute. What D expected to happen Is that the members of the house Seen Ittee and tK " senate com? mittee on nterstate commerce will confer earl> with Pres dent Wilson and distune the subject informally.

Oct. 5.?Government officials regard the federal successes during; the past week as "a death blow" to the organized revolution in the north. The defeat of the rebels at Santa Rosalia appears to be con? firmed. Advices from Gen. Samuel E. Mercado, military governor of the State of Chihuahua, describe the re suit of a rout of the enemy. The town was recaptured, according to the governor, who added "the victory is of great importance because the trains by which the enemy expected to reatreat have been captured as well as large quantities of war. material.'' Several thousand men were said to be engaged at Santa liosalia and righting had been in progress since Thursday. This victory, together with the oc? cupation by Gen. Maas of Sabinas, has greatly encouraged war depart? ment officials. ? Gen. Trucy Aubert, with 1,000 men marching to the relief of Torreon, has reached Maderu, about 100 miles east of Torreon, but is making slow headway, owing to the necessity of repairing the railroad. It is reported tbo rebels virtually have abandoned the Torreon district. Gen. Ah are?. is said to be i repar lng an expedition to march on Du rango, which for months has been in possession of the rebels. Tezultlan, in the State of Puebln, still is besieged by Indians, but for? eigners and noncombatants have been able to leave the town. Raiding, pil? laging and burning of ranches con? tinue in sections of Puebla and More los. The efforts of the rebels in San Luis Potosi, Coahuila and Nuevo Leon are contlned to the cutting of railroads and raiding small towns. Frederlco Gamboa, nominee of the Catholic party for the presidency; Mauel Calero, Liberal candidate, and the followers of Gen. Felix Diaz are Pushing the work of organization for the elections on October 2?. The bill for the postponement of the elections, however, is due this week to come before the chamber of deputies. The question of the constitutional? ity of the measure is said to have created a division of the committee to which recently it was referred upon Its Introduction in the chamber. In political circles the defeat of the measure is regarded as likely. KFJJGHHS CKNSL'S OF MAN? NING. Manning, Oct. 3;?Cnder the co? operative direction of the Methodist, Baptist and Presbyterian pastors of Manning a canvass of the town has Just been completed and a sort of religious census made for the purpose of ascertaining their religious status of the town. Each church was asked to furnish 15 or 20 people, men and women for the canvass, and these were formed into committees. The town was divided into sections and two or three workers were assigned to e.ich section. Cards were given out on which the following questions were printed: Name? Faith or denomina? tion? Membership where? If not a member, which church preferred? Do you attend Sabbath school? Ages of all under 21? . The prupoes of the canvass was to bring the churches together in a united effort to influence the winde town and to give each pastor and church the necessary information on which to base future effort! in bring? ing every man, woman and child into a warm fellowship and ( lose touch with the church and Sabbath ?onooi The spirit of unity which al? ready exists among the members of the various churches is thought to have been consi lerably strengthened and deepened by this united effort. While the census was only made in the town, if is hoped that at an early date It will be extended throughout Clarendon county* As a result of this house to house Canvam the following facti have been \ ascertained: Members of Protestant churches 47:5. pupils of the Sabbath sehoois lit) preference expressed by non?ssembers over 1- years o{ age of the Protestant churchei IS; chit* dren under 1- years nut yot members of a church tee; member* with letters unplaced jews, children and adults, It; Catholics, children and idults, It* TWS glVSS S grand t dal of tfir?. which is practically tie whits isiumi of the town of Henning?

Hanc Suffer Exciting Automobile Ac? cident ut St. Matthews. St. Matthews, Oct. 3.?-J. C. Red nu>n, pfObatfJ judge, and Albert 10. Hanc. chief of police, for St. Mat? thews, thought last night that some? body else might be holding sway in' their respective sanctums today. | While climbing a very steep hill which is very close to the Congaree river, and which is very rough and lull of deep holes, Mr. Redmon's car buck? ed with him and evidenced a desire to go back down the hill. The oc? cupants of the car preferred either to stop or go forward. It wouldn't go forward, so in order to have his way Mr. Redmon made a hasty jerk at his brake. Nothing seemed to catch and in a moment they were sailing down the steep and perilous hill surrounded by the blackest dark? ness at a most undesirable rate of speed. Mr. Hane did not stop, look nor listen for a landing, but leaped straight into the darkness. He hit dry land with his lower limbs slight? ly bruised from contact with parts) of the Hying car. Of its own mo? tion the car swerved from the side j of the road which was very near to | a deep gully ami attacked a heavy embankment on the opposite side, and Mr. Redmon was thus saved from an I involuntary backward plunge into the Congaree.
