nittee on finance this morning heard secretary
Sherman on the funding bill. He took posi-.
ton that it should be amended so as to mako
the fnnding bonds redsemabls after five years
aud payable in twenty years from date Of

81 per cont, the rate 10 be fixed st the dis
crstion of the secretary of the treasury. He
expressed the opinion, however, that the
treasury funding certificates prepared by the

scribed s treasury notes, can bs foated
at per cent. interest without change in the
house provision for their redemption, at any
time after one year from their respective
dates of issue. The committee at the con-
cusion of Secretary Shermsn's remarks
which were accompanied with a number oi
financial tables and written statements, ad
