The Revenue Frauds,
The committee investigating frauds on
the revenue will report to-day. 1t will

Redemption of mpOund Interest
-li5- Notes. E+a $3.50 .-l
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-The proposition
to redeem compound interest notes by the
issue of greenbacks will not be compro-
missed in the committee of conference. The
red' mption of the compound interest notes
with greenbacks will nevertheless be op-
posed in the Senate, on the ground that the
Treasury Department will be abundantly
able to pay for compound interest notes
when due, without resort to a fresh issue
of greenbacks. Mr.. McCulloch fully agrees
with the House bill, which gives him dis
cretionary power to issue as many green-'
backs that he may deem necessary, instead
OF $l00,000,000 as prescribed by the last bill.
