All day the chiefs and miners have been jwarming into 1 rinidad. nearly aM of them having their pay checks, vanning from $187 down. The checks were fo' such amounts that business tnen could not cash them. and. hence, lost thousands ol dollars in tracte. All kghy long the miners have been joining the United Mineworkers.

(I anything is to be aitempied in the way ol financial legislation it will be in behall ol the Aldrich bill relative to deposits or customs revenues in the national banks, ft was suggested that l».e Aldrich bill might be amended so a, u eliminate some ol the features most objected to and in the amended ri-rm Ur passed, but there was manifested a general indisposition to go farther than this into the q»sstion ol financial

The discussion indicated that there would be no disposition to contend with the House over the question of the proner initiative of revenue legislation, ana that if in the opinion of The House Ihe matter should be treated in a Nil. rather than by joint resolution, the Senate woijjd ac-
