The Senate has been chiefly occupied in
the past week with the discussion Of imam
cial matters, and there is no prospect that a
final vote will be reached on the resolutions
now under con sideration before the last OF
this week, If even then. 1t becomes daily
more apparent that no scheme to increase
the volume Of the currency can be passed
in the Senate, but It is very doubtful II any
positive action will end the long debate.
The Hou G, too, is giving its attention to
financial questions. II has passed naval
appropriation bill cutting down the marine
corps aud the bureau system ana putting

day the question of initiation was apparent
" settled for the present, when Mr.. VIII
son of Indiana introduced a resolution pro
vidng that the proper way 10 relieve the
present necessity of the Governme is not
by additional taxation, but by an increase
of currency, and that the Committee on
Banking and Currency be instructed to
prepare bill for such increase. He moved
that the rules be suspended and the reso.
luton passed. AMER brief discussion the
proposition came TO vote aud was defeat
