VICTORIA, B. c., February 27.-The
House yesterday, by vote of twenty
three to one, re-enacted the anti-C Chinese
immigration bill passed at the last SEES
sion, and disallowed at Ottawa. The

Extra Session Talk.

WASHINGTON, February 2S.-The pos
siblllty OF an extra session is again the
subject of comment among Congress
men. The Senate committee on appro-
priations has before it as much work
for the next three days and half days,
including Sunday, as it would under
take to perform in as many week. If
the session were long one.
Members of the committee express
the hope that they will be able
to present the remaining bills to the
Senate in time for action, but to d" so
will require them to work night and
day Two of the remaining bills. the
general deficiency and sundry civil, are
measures of indefinite detail, and their
careful scrutiny. at least by the sub
committees, is held to be an imperative
duty. Committee meetings will be III
progress all day tomorrow and every
night, perhaps all night, until the final
adjournment.
Secretary McCulloeh SAID to-day. in
speaking of the silver question, that
while he regretted the action of the
House, he thought there was no danger
of the country being brought to silver
standard at an early day. The condi-
ton of the country now, he added, is
favorable for the maintenance OF the
gold standard, inasmuch as the balance
of trade is in our favor and there is no
prospect it being against us for some
months to come. Besides, there is a
large amount of gold in this country
outside of what is held by the govern
ment and the banks, and there is little
disposition on the part of the American
people to hoard their money.

The House then proceeded to the con-

The naval appropriation bill with the
Senate amendments was taken from
the Speakers table and referred to the

Hancock moved to suspend the rules
so that the House shall go into COM

Keller emitting mention on the forti-
fcation bill, addressed his remarks to
the silver question and found fault with
the Cleveland letter. 1t is assumed in
that letter that unless the coinage of
silver was suspended, the time would
come when there would not be enough
gold in the Treasury to redeem all the
greenbacks. He had supposed that
greenbacks might be redeemed at the
pleasure of government in gold or silver
coin.
Thomas said, while the committee

ate 100000, in reality it appropriated

The National Finances.

The decrease Shown in the public debt by tn
statement issued for May iss4 1925, Ass, and for
the eleven months, sd,5o0,0o0. There is little
difference between the figures for last month
and those for May, 1884; but, comparing the
eleven months ended with the corresponding
period OF last year, there is a difference of
over s37, 600, 900 in favor of the latter period,
and it is not likely that this difference will b.
materially reduced when the transactions of
juno are recorded. The surplus for the last
fiscal year was over s1l0,000,GAO. 1, Will
hardly exceed So, 100000 this year. Compa.-
ed with May l, there is no change in the inter
est bearing debt, and the non interest bearing
column shows a reduction of less than $40
thousand dollars. The So called decrease in
the debt for tine month therefore consists of
increased cash in the treasury, which deducted
from the obligation, shows that the treasury is
stronger by the sum stated than it was one
month ago. The available cash balance is
Sl62, 103 III, an increase over May | of s., Geo.
600. This is the largest balance held by ike
treasury since july, 1881, when it exceeded
sl1,oO0,OO0 and it is doubtful whether the
present balance has ever been so large with
the single exception named. Most OF the de-
fciency appropriations made by congress
have been paid, together with other large sulns
provided for extraordinary expenditures, such
as Alabama awards and New Orleans expo
sition.
