Washington, Feb. l5.-Mr. Hereford pro-
presented joint resolution Of the West vir.

la.e Interstate railway traffic. Referred TO
th4committce on railroads.
Z number Of bills and joint resolutions
waro reported back from committees, and
pl'eed on the calendar.
On motion Of Mr.. Bsyard, the senate took
vi the house.funding bill.
Mr. Bsyard explained the provisions Of
th! oil. and gave ia detail the reasons which
Influenced the senste committee in modifying
th> bill as Il came from the house, by chang
ing the rate of interest on the proposed
funding bonds from TO 81 per cent. The
committee believed the weight of authority
was in favor Of incurring the number of frisks
OF failure IN negotiation Of tho loan. lie re-
viewed in detail the provisions Of tho bill
and the amendments reported from the SEN
ate committee.
AT conclusion of Mr.. Bsyard's remarks Mr..
Mcpherson spoke at considerable length
in favor of the per cent. 1O:40 bonds. He
was followed by MIR. Herman in opposition &
long lime, and the latter said he believed il
was wise policy on the part of the govern
ment to keep control of the option of paying
lis debts.
After some further discussion tho commit
tee amendments were taken up in order.
Tse amendment masking the rate of interest
S4 instead of per cent. became the subject
OF a long discussion, pending the conclusion
OF which, without action on the amendment,
the senate adjourned.
