WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-One would naturally
think that the fund on which Congressman draw
for new bills would become exhausted some time,
but such appears not to be the No opportunity
to bring in new bills from the first day of the first

bills and joint resolutions introduced in the
House this morning. Among them a few Of
public Importance.
Mir. Woods Refunding bill was read at length.
Members whose opinions Oh financial questions are
of importance were generally disposed to reserve
any expression of opinion this until they
had found time to study it more carefully.
Mr.. Wood himself remarked to a TRIBUNE CORE

than ever Of the success of the bill. Said he -Four

told me this afternoon that they Will support the
measure"
General Hawley said "Of course we want to
borrow money at 3le per cent if we can but am
