In Congress This Week.
Washington, August 13.-CongreSS mas
settled down to debate with degree OF
expedition almost unknown IN It's history and
with an apparent determination to do some
thing that promises we'll for the outcome.
Fortunately for the ma jority i'll the sen
ate the action of the house on the silver
question relieved them of the necessity of
speedy and, perhaps, il-advlsdd acton.
The democratic caucus committee charged
with the preparation of II plan that should
secure the adherence OF the united majority
will, therefore, commence ITS labors with
more delibcration than would otherwise
have been possible and it is not expected
now they will perfect their work-which
involves consultation with many senators
at each stage-much before the house has
acted.
The finance committee will probably wait
upon the action of the caucus committee,
al nj the silver ullpStIOu r
likely to figure in Il formal way in the pro-
cpedingS of the senate this week. 1t is
entirely possible, and even probable. that
speeches will be delivered upon the subjcc
but if so, they will be based upon some
such resolution as that introduced by Sen
peal of the silver purchase section of the
Sherman act, and not upon Il bill regularly
reported from the finance committee and
ready for immediate action. There is Il
strong disposition in some quarters TO fill
in the time during the week by the discus
case, which is in 4 privileged position and
can be called up at any time to the dis
placement of other business.
The programme in the house has been
definitely fixed by the adoption of the or
der introduced Friday last by Representa-
tive Bland. The time will be devoted ex-
clusively to the consideration of the sill
yer question under the rules of the last
house governing general debate Notwith-
standing the apparent lack of interest in
the discussion manifested by
members on Saturday, the mum
Der of applicants for recognition al
ready on the speakers list demonstrates
that the period allotted to the debate
eleven days under the general rule-will be
occupied. There are now between ninety
and a hundred names enrolled by the
speaker the great majority of whom ex-
pect to talk the full hour allowed by the
rule. There are Il number, however, who
have stipulated for shorter periods. gener-
ally twenty minutes half an hour If
it appears that the time for debate will be
too short to accommodate all who wish
TO speak night sessions will be held to
lengthcn the period. but this expedient, it
is believed will not become necessary be-
fore next week. with the expiration of which
the debate will close.
Banks to Issue Currency.
Washington, August 13.-(Specal.) THE
senate finance committee will report a bill!
allowing national banks TO issue currency
to the par value of their bonds on deposit.
The leading advocates of this bill
express the opinion that the SEN
ate will pass it without delay. Should it be-
come law il will add fifteen or sixteen mill
ion dollars to the circulating currency of
the country.
