WASHINGTON, January l6.-Ssnator Cor
man says that he knows nothing about any
Indebtedness incurred by the late Demo
cratic National Committee, but does not
deny that such Indebtedness exists unsats-
fed. He says that when ex-senator Bar
mum comes to Washington he will explain
it all.
The passage of the bill submitting the
French spoEations claims to the Court OF
Claims for adjudication, adds another chap
ter to the already long history of these
claims. The bill to settle them
by an appropriation was first passed
by both houses in 1912, and has been pre-
sented iu forty-two different sessions. Most
of the claims have passed out Of the hands
of the parties who originally held them and
are owned by heirs or spectators. This
ought not to initiate against their payment
if they were all right in the first place.
which is very delicate international ques-
ton. The bill which has now been passed
both by the Senate and the House and
which will probably be signed by
President Arthur, is probably
the wisest one possible under
the circumstances. 1t does not appropriate
any money, but leaves it open to the claim.
ants to prove their case before the court, if
they can do so. If the decision of the
gnited States Judiciary should be favorable
there will be no difficulty in securing an ap-
preparation to pay the bills.
The debate in the House on the Nc
Pkerson banking bill was very interesting.
Yaple, q Democratic member from Michi-
gan, made very strong speech in Opposi-
Tion in the scheme. His argument was
founded on the theory that all currency
ought to be issued by the Government it
self and that a treasury note had all the
advantages of the bank note. He said that
in deciding the issue of Government cur
rency in time of peace to be constitutional
the Supreme Court had decided that "the
constitution was not the grave of American
liberties"
The bill as presented allows the National
Banks to issue an amount of currency equal
to the par value of their investment in Gov
ernment bonds.
A substitute was offered BY Orlando Pot
ter, of New York, which is in some respects
more satisfactory to the banks than even the
Mcpherson proposition. No definite Con.
gressional action has yet been taken.
