THE N. Y. BANKS.
The Comptroller of Currency Will Tes'
lify Before the Senate COmmitte
on Finance.

The Morgan resolution to investigate the
causes of the failures of the New York banks
was under consideration by the Senate COM
mittee on finance this morning. BY unan-
imous vote. the comptroller of the currency
was requested to appear before the committee
one week from today. prepared to convey to
them such facts relating to the subject as he
may have gathered. Upon his showing the
committee will decide whether there are any
ground to warrant further action at present.
An impression prevails that a congressional
investigation at this time might add to the
popular distrust engendered by the panic of
last week, with possibly serious results.
