The Secretary of the Treasury would secure
in a conference committee in the last days

acceptable to him and that he could success
fully enforce was realized To-day by IN
agreement on a bill for funding fifteen hun
bred millions Of the present bonded debt
into three new classes ot bonds, rs follows:
First, a tcn-vcar hund 1T five per cent, OF
whichtuo hundred millions are TO hc issued

rest. The principal and interest OF these
bond, are To he pad IN gold and 10 be en-
,mpt from ali taxation. The interest Is pay

the Secretary failing 10 have insert
rd IN the bill what is known IL The foreign
loan clause. The rates "I interest are
the same H. in the Senate funding bill,
which passed March ii. Besides the classes

Till. or hy using to Il certain limit coin de-
rived from imports. TO cancel said mturcd
bonds. All future national banks are to be
organized on these bonds, but the feature
uf the original senate measure which COM
,elcd The existing national banks TO cX-
change their present bonds is omitted. The
new bill, H. agreed on, II il believed will
PASS both inllSGs. While it is not 50 strong
y bill aS the Secretary hoped for earlier i'll
the session, it j much better bill than
senators thought he would get. In fact,
the more general impression has been that
No nlndi2s NiiI~yould pass this session.
