WASHINGTON. Oct. Northumberland
Ing the Interesting and important charac.
ter of the debate progressing in the hous
upon the question Of Chinese immigration
and registration, the silver situation in
the senate, with its related subject Of the
rules OF the management Of that body,
easily holds first place Ia public attention.
As to the matter Of the rules there is no
belief that any change will come within
the immediate future, despite the intro
ductlon Of several amendments intro
duced recently by members who - the
senate governed by rules which will en-
able the majority I'D control debate within
what they conceive to be reasonable limit.
The time for a modification of the rules
will not be ripe, in the opinion OF practiced
observers, until the consideration of the
subject can be entered upon without pas
sion.

In the House.
A vote will be reached by consent of the
house at 3 o'clock this afternoon upon Mr..
McCreary's bill to amend and modify the
Geary Chinese registration act. Mr.. Nc
Cresry says there is no doubt OF the pass
ing Of thu bill, provided a quorum be pres
emit and vote.
immediately after the vote on the
Chinese bill has been announced Mr.. Cox
of Tennessee will call up his bill for the
better regulation of national banks. which
has been favorably reported from the
committee on banking and currency. He
will probably not ask consideration Of the
measure until Tuesday. The bill provides
That no national bank shall make any loan
10 its president, vice president or any persons
in its employ until the proposition to make
such a loan shall nave been submitted in
writing by the person desiring the same TO a
meeting of the board OF directors or executive
committee OF such board, II any. and accepted
and approved BY a majority Of those present
constituting a quorum. No bank shall per-
nit its president, directors or other persons Ia
its employ to become liable to IL by reason Of
overdrawn account.
1t is also provided that a schedule of all
such loaus shall be reported to the comp
troller of the currency. Not much debate
is anticipated on this bill, rs Representa-
tive Warner, a member Of the committee,
is the only antagonist the bill has so far
seen. Representative Hepburn of Iowa,
who was solicitor Of the treasury under
the Harrison administration, commends
the measure.
After the bank bill is out of the way
the bill TO establish u uniform system Of
bankruptcy throughout the United States
will be taken up, and its consideration
will doubtless exhaust ali the remainder
of the week.
saturday In Congress.
