Sanford Hite, Of st. Louis. The subsidy
is SIS, 200 per annum and the contract is

The Currency Bill.
The question of passing the new cur
rency bill, which conference committee
of the Senate and House have agreed on,
came up in the latter body yesterday after
noon, and while no vote was reached, the
temper of the House very clearly indicated
that the bill will be defeated. 1t is opposed
by the Eastern interest, who object to a
redistribution of twenty-five millions of
national bank currency, and by Western
members who see in the bill, as it has been
modified, a contraction of ten or eleven
millions of dollars. 1t was stated in the
debate that the Senate committee had de-
clRred that the Senate was almost unan-
imously against any increase Of the volume
of currency, and that the House commit
tee, on learning that, receded from that
feature Of the House bill which provided
fol an additional fifty millions of bank note
firculation. The bill as it stands, there
fEe, simply provides for an additional
sue of forty-fve million dollars bank
otes, a cancellation Of the forty-two mil
.ons of three per cent. held by the banks
rs their lawful reserve, and for four per
cent gold bond for free banking purposes.
Contested Elections.
A Amajority of the House Sub election
Committee have decided to report against
james Shields, the Democratic contestant
II Van Horn, the sitting member of the
Eighth Missouri District; and in Switzler's
case, Ninth Missouri, the committee have
decided against Dyer, the hadical member,
and in favor of Switzler.
