THE FUNDING BILL STILL LIvEs.-Quitc a
number OF bankers and brokers have writ
ten here to members of Congress in tho be-
lief that the funding bill is dead, and asking
for some expression Of opinion as to what
financial measure, if any, Congress is likely
to pass. This fact gave a prominent menl-
Der of the Ways and Means Committee oc-
IN sion ia remark to-day that the funding
bill was not dead that it was very. faVora-
bIy discussed at the meeting Of the commit
tee this morning, and that by Monday next
it would be reported to the House with
some amendments. 1t is further ascertain
ed that the compulsory or 7th section ofthe
Senate bill, which compels national banks
| to take the new bonds, has not been struck
out, and the probability now is that it will
not be materially amended. The two weeks
debate on the bill in committee indicates
very clearly that, after all, the feature to
compel all national banks to bank on a new
uniform bond, bearing four and hall per
ccntum interest, will prevail. lt may not
be exactly as it is in the Senate bill, but II
will be reported in some shape Washing
ton teIegrdm-B Baltimore Sun.

General has appointed James Ii. Shayes
