twas eOntended that as a portion of
the Senators had resigned that the

of their oaths and remaining at their
posts. constitute a quorum, while
/ others contended that il required two
i thirds of all the Senators that could
be elected to constitute a quorum.
/ During the day message was re-
ceived from the Governor as follows j:

OTTAWA, May 15.-In the House
of Commons last night Hon. Mr.
Rose brought. down a series of reso-
lutions on banking and currency,
which, if carried into effect. will
make a radical change in the banking
Of the Dominion. The general fea-
lures Of the scheme are copied from
the National Bank system of the
United States, though there is consid-
erable difference in several particu-
lars.
The bank notes and Government
legal tenders now In circulation are
to be called in, and no more such
notes will be issued. The currency
is to consist, hereafter, solely of bank
notes, secured by Government de
bentures. The banks are to purchase
Government debentures in such
amount as they may severally choose.
They are to deposit the debentures in
the hands of Receiver General, in
trust, which Receiver General will
give legal tender notes in the same
amount as the debentures deposited.
The legal tender notes are to
be redeemable at the office of
the bank designated, upon de-
mand. Each bank is always to.
have on hand to redeem them one dol
lar in gold for every five dollars of
notes in circulation bearing It's super
scription. Should any bank fail to
redeem It's notes on presentation, the
debentures deposited with the Gov
ernment are to be made available for
their redemption. The banks are to
receive interest from the Government
on the amount Of debentures depos-
tied with the Receiver General.
The act will not come into force
