WASHINGTON, May 10.-Tne failure Of
tho friends OF the Mcpherson bill, for the
prevention Of the further contraction Of
the currency, to securs hearing in the
House to-day has filled them with appre.
hension. 1t will be impossible to secure
favorable action upon tha. measure the

proper, the bill which passed the Senate, is
on the Speakers table with fifty odd
bills ahead OF it, and tho substitute
for tho Wilkins bill reported from tho
House banking and Currency committee,
which is identical in Its provisions with
the Mcpherson bill, holds equally an I'M.
favorable position on tho House calendar.
Neither can be reached this season except
by unanimous consent, or by motion 10

were no grounds for the failure. but the
president got frightened and precipitated
matters by advising his friends to with.
draw their deposits.
There were slight runs on two other
savings banks, but they took advantage Of
the timely notice and thus checked tie
excitement. They kept their doors open
longer than usual, and one Of them did no.
close until 0 o'clock tonight. No checks
were presented during the Lest half hour.
