The Currency Bill.
BY American Press Association.

WASHINGTON, May Tt is estimated in
Treasury circles that under the act of Con-
gress for the redemption of fractional cur
rency with subsidiary coin, that not more
than $50, 100000 Of fractional currency will
be redeemed, the balance being either lost
or destroyed by handling. As $3,0OO,OOO Of
small change will not suffice for the busi-
ness demand of the country, two bills have
been prepared and will probably be offered
in the House this week and efforts made to
secure the passage of one of the two.
