SENATE.

WASHINGTON, Feb. IS. The senate
committee on commerce has agreed to
report favorably on a bill appropriating
$4,000, 900 for the construction of a deep
water harbor at Galveston.
At the meeting OF the senate finance
committee to-day, the various silver and
currency bills that have been referred TO
it, were under consideration. The dis
cussion covered the whole range of the
financial situation, but the silver question
was the principal topic All the Republi-
can members of the committee were
present, as well rs Harris and Vance Of
the minority. The discussion is said to
have demonstrated that there was little, if
any, variance of views upon the manner III
which the silver question should be treat
ed. There was practical agreement that
bill should be passed authorizing the
secretary OF the treasury to increase the
purchase of silver, store it as bullion and
issue certificates upon it, 1t is expected
that the details OF bill covering these
propositions will be drafted at the next
meeting of the committee.
1t is understood that while the senate
was considering the British extraditiol
treaty, Gray's motion to strike out the
sections making manslaughter and oh
tanning money under false pretenses ex
traditory crimes was defeated.
The senate to-day ratified the Britisl
extradition treaty with few unimportan
amendments.
