The FUNDING Bill WASHINGTON, April
N.-Secretaryf Boutwell, visited the capitol
to-day, and was very earnestly Piled BY
members to know what he thought Of the
status o! the Senate funding bin, which,
according to current report, was dead In
the Committee of Ways and Means. He
replied that he was not much disturbed by
the reports, even If they were true,Sfor he
felt perfectly confident that the House
would pass bill to fund the debt into q
loan bearing lower rate of interest," He
thought that possibly the committee would
not report the Senate bill, and that If they
did, it would not pass the House; yet he
telt assured that the House would pass some
kind Of u funding bill, that the Senate
would non-concur, and that finally the dis.
agreements would reach conference COM
mi frot- oh a Fall
BILE to the Administration would be reported
and adopted by Congress. The bull move
ment in New York and the odium cast on
the Senate bill did not alarm him, he said,
for he was confident that compulsory
funding bill would yet become law. Tho
bill was not taken up by the Ways and
Means to-day, but tomorrow >or Friday,
probably, final vote will be taken in COM
mittee. There is great interest in as we'll
rs out Of Congress to learn the details of
the new measure. Thereis not day but
that large number Of members receive
petitions or letters asking that this question
may be disposed Of one way or the other,
and at the earliest practicable moment.
