The Defeat OF the state Bank Meas

tee Business in the
House and senate.

Washington, June t. The banking
authorities in congre ss regard the defeat
of the state bank measure as profoundly
significant of the future of banking and
currency interests. 1t is said that the
state banks and state money will never
be revived. Chairman Springer will call
together the house banking and currency
committee at an early day to consider the
next step on the banking question, now
that the state bank tax is disposed of.
The meetings of tie committee had been
suspended until the state bank issue was
settled, but Mr.. Springer is disposed,
however, to push the sub ject until the
state bank champions of tho south ap-
preciate the significance of the vote.
WANTED TO CONVERT THE PRESIDENT.
The perennial crank turned up at the
executive mansion to-day. He was a
young man of distracted appearance and
announced that his purpose was to con-
vert President Cleveland to ways of
righteousness. This was the third time
he had been at the White house. The
police patrol was called and transferred
him to the third police station, where

sugar trust have been issued by the SEN
ate committee of investigation. Among

To-DAY's HOUSE.
The debate in the house on the Indian
bill was given sectarian
turn to-day by Representative Linton, of
Michigan, who alleged that the Roman
Catholics received three fifths of all ap-
for Indian schools. He de-
precated any government aid for sec
tartan education.
To-DAY's SENATE.
The leaders on both sides of the senate
conferred with each other to. day
with view to reaching an agreement 80
that progress can be made on the tariff
bill. Senator Aldrich says that likely an
agreement will be reached to proceed
with the schedules of the bill until wool is
reached under the five minutes rule and
finish this week, so that the wool schedule
can be taken up Monday at 2 o'clock.
Senator Harris proposed an agreement
in the senate, with a modification, so that
might speak ten minutes. 1t
was discussed by Senators Hoar and Fry,
and while the discussion was going on
Senator Gray asked what was before the
senate and objected. This killed the
agreement temporarily, at least.
Senator Carey, of Wyoming, then took
the floor and delivered speech on the
general bject of the tariff. He said it
was singular that no member of tho
senate had attempted to explain the
schedule in the bill which was under con-
sideration, or tell of its effects on the
industries of the country. He said that
no man on the Democratic side had un-
conditlonally defined the measure. Each
has in course denounced it with more or
eo.. severity.
Senator Carey made comparison of
;he Wilson bill and senate bill and said
The house did not make itself conspicu
ous by placing all agricultural products
IN the free list while protecting |
heir own interests, which was SO appar-
mt in the senate bill. He further said
hat an attempt had been made by SEN
'tor Gray to protect the agricultural in
erests of the southern states. He fin
shed by declaring that spectators were
low in Canada and Mexico buying
lorses, cattle and sheep in anticipation of
he bill and these cattle would be brought
o this country as soon as the bill became
law.
