Taxing Bank Notes.
The bill to subject to state taxation
national bank notes and United States
treasury notes was taken up, and, after
amendment, was passed. AS passed,
the bill provides that circulating notes
of national banking associations and
United States legal tender notes and
other notes and certificates of the
United States payable on demand,
and circulating or intended to
circulate as currency, and gold
and silver or other coin shall

An amicable arrangement was then
entered into, by which one hour was to
be given to consideration of pension.
cases, after which the bill of MIR. HIPS
to prevent the admittance of anarchists
should be considered, but Mr.. Allen
threw temporary wet blanket on the
arrangement by insisting on the regular
order.
The senate finally proceeded to con-
slider
Pension Cases.
Among the private bills passed was
sen tie bill granting a pension of 500
month to the widow of Gen. Abner
Doubleday.
A number of unimportant house bills
were passed.
In accordance with the agreement
reached, the bill reported yesterday by
Mr.. Hill, providing for the inspection
of immigrants by United States consuls
and for the
Exclusion of Anarchists
was taken up. Mr.. PETER, while UNI
willing to raise the point of no quorum
against the bill, thought such an impor-
tant measure should have full senate,
and he suggested that 1t 60 over until
Monday.
Mr.. Hill. however. asked that it be
considered today, though a vote need
not be taken on 1t, and this was agreed
to.
Mr.. Chandler favored the house bill
rather than the senate substitute be-
cause it was simpler or milder and yet
made the exhibition of a certificate from
q OuitCu OtdlCS cOiISul ny every itIltlll-
grant obligatory. If he had his way he
would pass the house bill today and
send it to the president for his signature.
although it had arrayed against it all
the steamship companies carrying i'm
migrants. and the secretaries of state
and treasury, as we'll as the commission
er of Immigration.
The house plan, he thought. which
provided for consular certificates, was
much to be preferred to the senate plan
for placing treasury inspectors on the
European docks to inspect intending
immigrants.
Moreover, he was convinced that su CHI.
treasury agents would have no status
on European docks except on the invi-
tation of the European governments,
though this difficulty may be obviated
by making them officials of the state
department. He thought the other
four sections of the bill against anarchy
could be passed without objection, and
he suggested that these sections provld-
ing for the exclusion of anarchists, but
emitting the section relative to the
appointment of immigrant inspectors,
If drafted into bill, would pass both
houses this session. He accordingly
offered such bill as substitute, and
had it go over until Monday.
Mr.. Hill, who had charge of the bill,
did not wish to reply today, but reserved
his speech until Monday.
A senate bill was then passed extend
ing the privilege of the transportation of
dutiable merchandise without appraise-
ment to the city of Ocala. Fla, and max
ing it port of entry.
AT 2:15 o'clock the senate went into
executive session on motion of Mr.. Hill,
and i've minutes later adjourned.
