strongly condemned by the Liberal papers

A Large Number of Bills to be Intro
duced Tuesday-1he Committees.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-Tuesday next is
agreed upon for calling the states for presenta
tion of bills in the House and the introduction
of large number of measures is looked for.
Nearly all the important bills which failed to
receive action dur ing the last Congress will be
re-introduced and many members express
their intention to introduce new bills, among
them several important financial measures.
Speaker Keifer is devoting the greater part
of his time to the preparation of the lists of
committees. The work will probably not be
completed until the latter part of next week
and possibly not until the week after next.
Nothing definite can be said regarding the
chairmanships although it is generally con-
ceded that Representative Kelley of Pennsyl-
vanis will get the Craftsmanship of the com
mittee ON ways and means and Hiscock the
committee on appropriations.

held to-day between the directors of the Cen
trail and Pacific National Banks and Mr.

and signed which with the assent of Comp
troller Knox will insure the speedy resump-
lion Of the Pacific Bank. The Pacific Bank
owes the Central National Bank $S15, 400, the
security by the latter having a face value of
$4,000. In the agreement the Central has
adjusted this debt by allowing the Pacific
Bank year in which to pay 100000 They
have returned TO the Pacific Bank $l25, 900 OF
the best OF the S250,000 collateral and the bal
snce, S3l5. 400, Mr.. Weeks agrees to pay in
ak months, by depositing frst-class security.

the 81 100000 necessary from them have de-
cided on the basis of this arrangement TO re-
