Waehlngton, June 18.—Upon the re
turn this morning of Chairman Wads
worth, of ths house committee on agrl
culture, from Genesee, N. Y„ the com
mittee went Into executive nesslon to
consider the amendments u the meat
Inspection bill proposed by President
Roosevelt. It Is believed that an agree
ment upon all points In controversy
will be reached before the close of ths
day.
The session of the committee was
short.- Chairman Wadsworth and Rep
resentative Brooks, of Colorado, were
authorised to lick the Inspection pro
vision Into shape and to report to the
full committee when their work had
been done after full conference with
the agricultural department.
Speaker Cannon will then present
the bill to the president before further
action Is taken.
One point yet remains In controversy
and that Is whether the words “In the
Judgment of the secretary of agricul
ture” shall go Into the bill. The pres
ident wants them there; the commit
tee does not. They say these words
will preclude ths possibility of an ap
peal of any character to the courts.
No agreement has been reached as
to whether the label shall bear the
date of when the meat product was
prepared. It Is believed, however, that
the president wlQ allow the labels to
remain undated.
An agreement on nil other points has
been practically. reached. The cotrt
review feature will go out, also the
provision suspending ths opinions of
the civil service law as applied to In
spectors. The cost of Inspection will
be placed on the government.
On motion of Mr. Wadsworth, tho
house.today recommitted ths report on
the beef Inspection amendment to the
house committee on agriculture. In or
der that the committee may perfect It
along the lines Indicated.

Berlin, June 18.—William J. Bryan
has been made an Issue In St. Peters
burg, according to The Morgen Post
correspondent. He declares the Ameri
can’s visit was used by the reaction
aries to arouse the exar against ths
progressive party, claiming that Bryan
was encouraging them to resist the
osar's authority. They even go so far
as to declare that conspiracies were
hatched during Bryan's visit and that
a foreigner has no right to interfere In
Russian politics.
Bryan's exclusion from Russia waa
hinted at and alleged disrespectful
comments upon ths exar were urged
agalnat him. The court party has ad
vocated making a strong diplomatic
protest to Washington, urging that
Bryan should not hare openly shown
his friendliness for, the party opposing
the Russian government.
There Is no doubt that Bryan wns
shadowed by the secret police from
the moment he set foot on Russian
soil. The ministers, however, have ad
vised against any demonstration of
unfrlondllness to Bryan. They believe
that It would prejudice public feeling
In the United States against the exar's
cause.

Says Committee Will
Give Comptroller a
White Wash Coat.
By Private Leased Wire. •
Washington, June 18.—Senator Till
man' called up his resolution looking to
securing more Information concerning
the Walsh bank failures In Chicago.
There was objection to his making a
speech, hut the resolution was read,
called on the finance committee to
learn whether the Walsh banks In Chi
cago mads Illegal campaign contribu
tions, whether ths associated banks of
Chicago committed Illegalities In con
nection with the Walsh failure and
whether the Ohio national banks have
been making illegal contributions to
county treasurers In that state.
Senator Tillman said there waa no
probability of the bill passing until aft
er ths election, which proposes to pre
vent banks contributing to campaign
funds. Because of this, he desired to
call the attention of the country to the
facts. He could produce prhof that In
1898 such contributions were made by
national banks, and that these were all
Illegal. The pending bill' lo prevent
such practices ought to pass, but he did
not expect It would. He Imagined the
committee on finance would subject the
bankers to an Immunity bath; but an
other phase Is that the committee has
reported a bill providing that national
banks may now lend up to 80 per cent
of their capital In a single loan. It Is,
he said, probably a generally useful
act; but there is no punishment pro
vided for violations of the provision.
This he considered a great weakness,
pointing out coses In which violation of
this provision has wrecked banks.
•The finance committee," said he, “In
accordance with custom, will doubtless
receive from Comptroller Rldgely
whitewash for thetr Chicago banks. 1
want to show what he ought to say.
Some days ago. It was said here that
every stockholder would be paid In
time. Next day, the testimony of W.
C. Fenton, president of the National
Bank of ths Republic, regarding this
matter, was brought to ms. I ask
that It be read."
The Fenton statement was read as
given before the house committee In
May. Mr. Fenton told the story of ths
Walsh failures; that three years be
fore the failure the comptroller knew
all about the criminal conditions that
led to the failure. When the failure
came, the other banks had to take up
the burden.
Here Is the statement of a lead-
j Chicago bank president," proceeded
Senator Tillman, "that for three years
the comptroller knew the bank had, In
effect, loaned 85.000,000 to Mr. Walsh,
Its president. Certainly, this was crim
inal. Under the law, the charter of the
bank had been forfeited three years
ago. Yet, the comptroller. Instead of
winding up Its affairs, 1st It go on
until It had loaded Walsh 110,000,000
more. I will prove that Walsh violated
the criminal law, and that the Chicago
Clearing House Association violated
the code."
Senator Aldrich protested against
trying the Chicago bank cases In ths
senate. Tillman replied by reading the
law requiring the comptroller to bring
suit In such cases, which has not been
done.
Senator Tillman proceeded to read a
statement about the capital and depos
its of ths Walsh banks, saying that
names of messenger boys and under
lings were allowed to sign notes, for
which bonds of ths Walsh railroads
were put up. Ths stock of ths railroad
waa trusteed In the control of a friend
of Walsh. If the railroad property
should sell for 122.000,000 the liabilities
might be paid off; but to make them
valuable more money must be put Into
complete them.

CALL, OF COMMITTEE,
The following copy of a letter which
has been sent to Ths Atlanta Journal,
haa been sent to The Georgian and to
other papers In Atlanta:
To the Editor of the Atlanta Journal
Sir; The statement In your esteemed
paper of date June 16, that Judge J,
K. Hines was opposed to the meeting
of our executive committee, Is untrue.
Owing to the high esteem In which
ths Judge Is held by our people, I think
the statement la Injurious to the cause
of Populism.
That the Judge was opposed to put
ting out a ticket I think Is true, but
the facts about calling this committee
meeting are these;
I, In company with some very promt
nent Populists, went to Judge Hines’
offlee on May 81 and we, with the
judge, discussed ths political situation,
and all agreed upon the propriety of
calling the committee on June 14.
In fact, the judge was the first one
to suggest the call, wrote ths call him
self, and 1 signed the call, and the Judge
agreed to hand It to the press. There,
fore, es a matter of Justice to all con
cerned, I ask that you make this cor
rection.
With regard to the opposition led by
the Hoke Smith Populists against put
ting out a stats ticket, although greatly
In the minority, I believe they will tell
you that they were allowed more time
In the dlecusalofl than was taken up by
a three votes cast against
calling a nominating convention were
cast by proxies.
Indications point to the largest gath
ering of Populists In Atlanta July 4
which we have had In ten years.
Respectfully yours,
J. J. HOLLOWAT.
