The Senate,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-The senate bill for
a public building at Peoria, Ills., was reported
favorably.
Senator Edmunds, from the judiciary COM
lnittee, reported favorably with an amendment
the senate bill re-establishing the court of
commissioners of Alabama claims, and for
distribution OF the Incorporated moneys of
the Geneva award. He explained that the
committee recommended payment of losses by
what are known as exculpated cruisers, and
nothing else Senator Hoar gave notice of an
amendment for compensation OF persons for
salvage for war premiums. Senator Garland
gave notice OF an amendment to strike out
The provision in behalf OF exculpated cruisers,
and to provide for insurance companies. The
subject was disposed of by an order directing
the printing of the bill, aud proposed amend
ments separately
A bin was introduced by Senator Ferry to
provide for water route tn facilitate trans
portation between lakes Michigan and Erie.
After extension of the morning hour to
dispose of routine business OF no special bust
ness the senate re sumed conside ration of the
funding bill.
Senator Pugh proposed amendm ents as ac-
cepted by Senator Vest as modification of
his proposition The question was upon the
amendment offered by Senator Hawley, allow
ing banks to retire their bonds deposited for
circulation in amounts not exceeding five
million dollars per month and only upon thir'
ty days notice. The discussion was confined
to the fourth section OF the act of 1874 which
the amendment OF Vest repeals, and sections
$3.50 and 5, 100 of the Revised Statutes, which
il re enacts. The first mentioned allows any
national bank to deposit United States notes
to the amount of the bonds it seeks to With
draw and thereupon to withdraw its
bonds and reduce its circu-
lation, and requires it to have $4,000
instead of one third of its capital on deposit
with the treasurer, irrespective of the amount
of its capital The sections of the revised
statutes revive the old law requiring one
third OF tine capital of the bank TO be held by
the treasury in United States bonds, and pro-
hibits the deposit OF greenbacks in lieu of
bonds, and further, requires bank seeking to
reduce its circulation to deposit its own notes.
The latter feature has been insisted upon in
the discussion as preventing combination of
banks from contracting the currency arb-
trarily and without notice. Before action was
reached Senator Hawley got the floor and the
senate went into executive session and soon
adjourned.

Central Pacific railroads to cripple or DESTROY

line of action of the senate will probably be to
exempt from forfeiture grants to railway
companies that have made any honest efforts
towards construction, even though they may
have failed to comply with all the terms Of
their grants.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-It is stated with
much posltiveness that President Davis, of the
senate, favors the admission of Dakota into

it is said, that the southern portion of Dakota
is entitled by reason of population and other
considerations to admission, and that it is not
a question for partisan considerations. Judge
Davis vote combined with the Republicans
would give the bill q majority In the senate,
and as the Republicans control the house, it
would appear the measure has a good prospect
