WAsHISGToS, February 22.-The secretary of the treasury will, on Monday next, issue call tor the re- demption of twenty millions more of outstanding bonds.
 The president and secretary of state are extremely reticent on the Chinese question, but it is believed by many here that the bill would have been at once signed but fo- the senate amendment requiring the president to give notice to the Chinese government of the abrogatiOn of articles and of the treaty. It is held that by this notice we would surrender all rights to the protection of Americans travelling or trading in China, and release her from any treaty obligations, even not to enslaye our citizens.
 The majority of the house con- mittee on territories, after laborious and thorough investigation, have agreed to report against several bills to establish territorial government for the Indian territory.
 In the house to day Mir White moved to lay the Chinese bill and amendments on the table. The mo- ton was defeated by a vote of 14O nays against 95 yeas. The senate amendments were then all concurred in by a viva voce vote, en mass de mand for separate voting being too late. The bill has therefore finally passed both houses of congress, and goes to the president for his sigma. ture.
 The senate adjourned today with out action on the reorganization sec. tions of the army appropriation bill (. The amendments proposed by the committee on appropriations were agreed to, as follows: Increasing the appropriation for the pay of officers and men to S9,SSO,OOO, striking out of the house bill the clause allowing officers a communication of $11 per room for quarters, instead of BIO, and forbidding any communication for servants quarters. Allowing officers on the frontier mileage for other trav- el than by railroad, and repeating so much of the act of July 24th, 1876, as prohibits payment of mileage for travel over any railroad in which troops and supplies of the United States are entitled to be transported free of charge. The clause author. izing the railroad companies to trans. init telegrams over their lines for the government and for the general pull lie, at rates to be fixed by the govern ment, according to the provisions of title 6, of revised statutes, passed just as it came from the house. No amendment being made either by the senate committee or in the senate, the clause was not even discussed The sections referring to the reorga- nization of the army having been reached, MT. Blaine sad the commit tee on appropriations had reported in favor of striking out these sections on the ground that there was not time in the few remaining days of the ses- sion to go into this complicated question of army reorganization. The committee had therefore directed him 10 suggest to the senate that the question of the army reorganization be postponed until the next session.
 NEW YORK. February 23.-J. W. Simonton, of the Associated Press says: Despite all outcry on the sub ject believe that President Hayes will sign the Chinese immigration bill. When in Washington this week I learned from excellent sources that the cabinet informally considered this subject on Monday, when the general policy and aim of the bill as passed by the senate, were overwhelmingly approved"
