De mad. ut the meeting of full commit
tee tomorrow To secure immediate ac-
ton on the subcommittee report. In
any case, however, the house cannot act
on it till the tariff bill is disposed OF.
The subcommittee of the Judiciary
comm tie to which was referred the re-
solution of Re. resencative Kelley, stat
ing that the secretary Of the treasury
has no right to issue bonds to supply the
current treasury deficit, held a meeting
today. Representative Goodnight, a
M mber of the committee, decided TO
confer with The secretary of the ire sury
before voting upon the res luton, and
in order to enable b m 10 do so, the com
mttee adjourned until tomorrow.
This does not, however. delay the pro-
gress of the committee because a full

before the regular meeting Friday next.

committee will make favorable report
on the reso ion.

made by Missouri senator.
Allison, member of the senate finance
committee, said that congress ought to
have been called upon bv the sec
retary IF the treasury to take up the
br nd question before the tariff, as the
former was more pressing. The sore
tarv did not come to the senate fnancs
committee meeting until after the house
had been buttoned up month with the
tariff bill, and could take no action. The
appointment of Deermond of Missouri,
as member of the house Judiciary
committee makes the democratic mem
bershIp of that committee almost unit
against the bond policy.
