PETER tried to call up his resolution
touching the condition Of the New
York banks, but the Senate. 35 to FL,
referred it to tho finance committee.
Adjourned.
The House granted the banking
and currency and coinage committees
leave to report at ~y time. This
being victory for the silverites, tho
effect was at once eelt on the New
York Stock Exchange. where on re-
ceipt Of the news stocks were heavy,
aud buyers and sellers OF bar silver
drew apart.
It has been decided that il is inn
practicable to let the tariff question
90 over to the regular session by sd.
journinR Congress as soon ~ the Gil.
yer question 10 settled; 80 the work
on th. tariff bill will soon begin. The
ways and means committee will give
. hearing from Sep. 4th to goth and
then proceed to frame the bill. Chsir>
man Wilson hopes to have the bill
ready for consid-rati"" hv the House
by Novembsr. Another urgent ques>
ton may have to bs considered be-
fore this. The money stringency has
caused such falling off 10 the receipts
from internal revenue customs
and other sources that the
daily receipts Of the govern.
ment are now falling 100000
short of the compulsory expenditures
for pensions aud the ordinary ex>
penses OF the government. Already
there is a deficiency of from ten to
eleven millions in sight. The situa.
ton cannot be met by economy, as
these expenses are obligatory under
the law. The alternatives before
Congress to meet the situation are
limited to three: New issue of Gov
eminent bonds; income tax or some
such new impost, or the increase Of
the rate in some existing forms OF tax>

secretary. replying to a question at a
meeting of the Indian Council, said
correspondence with the secretary Of
state for India in London about the

this time he published. He explained
that the Indian mints were closed
but this was the slack season, and
there had been heavy imports of sill
yer before the close of the mints
with large transfers of rupee paper
from London to Calcutta, which re-
tarded the effectiveness of the remed
isl measure adopted by the lndisr
government. He regretted the fuc
tustion Of values and consequent
evils, but believed that nothing hae
occurred to justify the assertion tha
q gold standard cannot be effectively
established.
