From WuSnjnutOn

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25-Although coupons cannot
be issued for less than six months interest on the
new loan, yet should the successful bidders regard
it of any advantage to receive coupons of interest
from the 1st inst. with the certificates of stock,
they will be issued at the Treasury Department in
the payment of interest from the lst of January to
the date of the deposit of the principal.
The action of the House to-day in laying on the
table three several memorials asking for the es-
tablishment of as many new mail steamer lines, is
considered indicative of hostility to all such mea-
sures by that body.
The Secretary of the Treasury in a recent docu-
ment sent to the House suggests an invitation from
the United States to the commercial countries of
Europe, to meet in representative body for con-
sultation on uniform currency, uniform weights
and measures, and uniform system of commercial
statistics, being of the opinion that this reform
would be favorably received and probably adopted
by each of the countries so represented He
says our own government occupies position,
both political and commercial, which would
justify it in taking the lead in the matter.
