Consideration Of the Bank Bill.
WASHINGTON, June 22.-Ih tho Senate
was resumed the consideration of the
House Bank Charter Bill. The section
bsfore the Senate was the one authoriz-
ing the issuing of gold certificate; pen
ding it, an amendment to allow silver
certificates to be counted by National
Banks as part of their lawful reserve
was adopted. Aldrich moved to allow
tho Secretary of the Treasury in his dis
cretion to suspend tho issue of gold
certificates, whenever the amount of
gold coin and gold bullion in the treas
ury available for redemption Of United
States notes falls below $1,000. 600.
Allison observed that the pending SEQ
ton may be construed az holding out
ineucement to holders Of Rreenbacks to
take them to the treasury and secure
gold for it, then redeposit that identical
| gold in the treasury and receive gold
| certificates In other words, greenbacks
would gradually he converted into gold
certificates. He was not apprehensive
of any such result, because Rreenbacks
| are better than gold so long as the hold
er knows he can exchange them for gold
on demand. The motion prevailed to
amend and prohibit certificates.
