Legal Tender Notes to the Amount of
$1,9oo.ooo,ooo Suggested.
WASHINGTON, May 27.-Representative
Mills says that at the next meeting of the
ways and means committee the alliance
sub-treasury bill will be adve sely reported.
Mr.. McClammy of the Third North Caro-
lima district. who is farmer with uni
versity education, introduced in the House
to-day bill to authorize the issue of legal
tender notes to the amount of 81 300, ,000, 900,
or about $50 per capita. These notes are to
be legal tender for all purposes except the
payment of the interest on the public debt
These notes are to be distributed among the
various states, according to population, and
are then to be loaned the people upon mort
cages. The loans will bear inter
est at the nominal rate of
per Gent. per annum. Not more than
$500 is to be loaned to any one person,
and preference is to be given TO those whose
lands are already mortgaged, to the end
that they may take up the high interest
bearing liens upon their property. The
per cent. interest is to form a national
educational fund. This is intended as
substitute for the sub-treasury scheme,
which Mr.. McClammy considers impractic
able and, also the Blair bill.

denounced the bill for the compensation of
publicans who may be deprived Of their
licenses.
The whole control of the license system,
he said, ought to be vested in local elective
bodies. 1t would add a300, ,000, 900 to the

they do the social horrors arising from the

PHILADELPHIA, May 27.--Another meet
ing of the directors Of the defunct Bank of
America was held this afternoon, at which
the committee of thirteen. headed by Chair
man Grant, made its report. This report
indicated to the depositors the belief Of the
committee that so per cent. or more would
be realized on their account The commit
tee is of the opinion that the dividends de-
clared semi-annually were not from the
earnings of the bank, and that there is un-
mistakable evidence that the officials
knew of these violations, and that
they, with the directors, are,
therefore, liable TO prosecution under the
insolvency law. The entire business, the
committee say, has been carried on without
regard to law or method. A recommenda-
ton was agreed to that counsel be employed
to assist in lawsuits TO recover the money
unla wfully transferred, to begin criminal
proceedings and otherwise look after the
interests of the depositors.

Committee.
WASHINGTON, May 27.-The action of
the Senate finance committee In agreeing
to consider the tariff bill in full committee
throws possible report back until late
day at the earliest. Messrs Allison and
Aldrich, who opposed this action, think it
may prevent any report upon the bill at
this session. It was carried by the
votes of Messrs. Sherman and Nor
rill with the democrats. Messrs. Sherman
and Morrill, did not like the prominence
given Messrs. Allison and AIdrich in the
last congress, and do not propose to let them
run the finance committee In this. Hear
ings will be given to all important inter-
ests, now that the full committee has charge
OF the matter. This will take at least as
much time as in the House, so that the tar
if bill may be considered dead unless the
committee changes its mind.
