Committee Work.

WASHINGTON, January %. The Senate
committee on finance heard Secretary Sher-
man on the funding bill He took the posi-.
| ton that it should be amended so rs to make
funding bonds redeemable after five wears
| and payable in twenty years from date with
interest not above three and one-half per
cent, the rate to be fixed at the discretion OF
the Secretary of the Treasury. The funding
certificates proposed by the bin which he
bought should be described as Treasury
Notes" He thought these could be fioated
at 3 per cent. without change in the House
provision for their redemption at any time
after one year from the respective dates OF
issue. The committee adjourned. The
committee will hear comptroller of currency
tomorrow.
In response to an inquiry whether or not.
in his opinion, the bonds could be floated at
3 per cent, if the term be fixed at 30 years,
without an option for earlier redemption, he
| replied that he not prepared to answer
that question.
