The senate committee or appropriations
report the legislative, executive and judi
cial appropriation bill to the senate on
| Tuesday, the 9th. The committee has
stricken from the bill the clause by which
the house proposes to require the secre.
tary Of the treasury to issue immediate
ly in payment OF arrearages of pensions
SIC, 600 of legal tender notes now
held as a special fund Tor the redemp-
! ton Of fractional currency. The com
mittee also am ended the bill so as to
restore the number and pay of senate
employees to the present figures. No
change is made in the political sections
of the bill.
The house banking and currency
committee on the 7th agreed upon
new bill relative to the reserve of ma
tional banks. The bill requires the
banks in redemption cities to keep two,
iifths of their reserve in coin, and coin
certificates, and country banks three
| tiiths Of their reserve in coin only.
The bill has two-fold purpose to re-
lease some of the legal-tender now
held for reserve, and mel p to force silver
into circulation. The theory seems to
be that the banks in the redemption
cities will release the legal-tender de-
posts and put silver certificates In their
place In the reserve.
