DISPOSED OF.
The Bankruptcy Bin Settled Ia tho House
OF Representatives.


WASHINGTON, Dec 9.-The houae Of
representatives Friday by vote of lo1
yeas to o. nays, struck out the enacting
clause OF the Torrey bill providing for
uniform system of bankruptcy pro-
ceedings in the United States. This
vote recorded by tellers in the commit
tee OF the whole house was afterward
emphasized By yea and nay vote in
the house, where 142 members placed
themselves on record by name as
against the bill and II in favor OF ii.
Tho bankruptcy bill has been before
tho house certainly Ave years, which
has taken up works Of every session of
congress In almost endless debate. 1t
was disposed Of by the Fifty-third con-
gress Friday morning in less than five
minutes.
For years past commercial bodies oil
over the United States have been petit
tioning congress TO provide some uni
form aEstem Of bankruptcy pro-
cedure It was two o'clock when
Col Oates (AlA.) who has been in
charge of the bill after announcing
that the general debate on the bill
which has been running some three
weeks all told during the extraordi-
nary session and the present session
was closed they moved that the house
20 into committee Of the whole to dis
cuss the bill by paragraphs. This was
dono. Mr. Bailey, of Texas, at this
juncture asked Col. Oates to permit the
substitution Of bankruptcy bill which
he had framed for the original Tor
rey bill Tho difference between the
two measures lay in this that the
Torrey bill provides that debtor may
be forced into involuntary bankruptcy
By his creditors while the Bailey bill
provides only for voluntary bankruptcy
on the part of the debtor The Bailey
bill is favored by the southern con-
gresham. Congressman Oates refused
TO permit the substitution and thus set
tod the doom Of the Torrey bill Be
fore a single member could under
take to debate any provision OF
the bill. Mr.. Bland of free silver fame
coolly moved TO strike out the enacting
clause of the bill He was supported by
the entire southern contingent only
the republicans and few northern
democrats voting against him. In less
than five minutes the formal report
was made TO the house that the com
mittee Of the double house had moved to
report, the Torrcy bankruptcy bill back
to the house with the enacting clause
stricken out Mr. Bland Immediately
demanded yea and my vote on the
adoption of the report. which after
some discussion WIS taken with tho

ECONOMIC PROBLEMS
To Produce Sufficient Revenues for
the Governments Needs Studied.
One of Those 10 the Silver in tho Treasury,
90 Assets Can lie Utilized by tho Iasu.
ance Of Silver Certificates Based
Upon the SoignIoraKe.

WASHINGTON, Dec. S-The secretary
Of the treasury while waiting for the
majority Of the ways and means com.
mittce to agree upon an internal reve.
nue. schedule which will produce rcve-
nues sufficient for the immediate reliof
OF the government while the tariff por-
lions OF the bill are being tried as an
experiment, Is devoting his time to
study of various economic problems.
The most important of these Is
the silver in the treasury from
which it is believed assets can be
created by the issuance OF silver
certificates based upon the seigniorage
of the bullion now on hand without
coming the same. This idea was sug.
gcsted by the discovery that during the
past administration the attorney
general had delivered an opinion to
the effect that the issue of such certifi-
Gates was fully warranted. While Mr..
Carlisle in his construction of the law
believes that in order i toErcalize
profits from seignoriagc he must
coin tho bullion on hand, and
yet there is the hope held out as al.
ready defined by republican officials
that the slow process of coinage can
be avoided and immediate results OBJ
tanned. 1t is probable that the sccre-
tary will depend upon congressional
sanction in this matter, rs the presi-
dent has already indicated he will do
upon the bond question Granted the
authority to issue bonds ut lower rate
Of interest than that already fixed
In existing statutes and to issue
certificates upon the calculated seign-
oirage OF the bullion already on de-
post, the administration would be in n
position not only to command assets to
meet pressing demands and liabilities,
but TO create gold reserve b. bond
issue, which congress will undoubtedly
leave to the discretion Of the secretary
Of the treasury. These features OF tho
Legislative contemplation are most sig
ni1icant.
