10 OF the bill. relating 10 state banks, for
II they we're not TO he rehabllitaicd tho

in the earlier sections. This suggestion
was re-enforccd by MIR. Walker d}cp,
NsssD, who said III was made in the In
irrest of cxpediting business.

sumed that the time was to be wasted;
81 It was not wasted the sections named

pTed.
NO AMENDMENTS ALLOWED
Inquiries were made by Messrs. Belts
hoover dem. Pa and Mr. Bland Dem,
MOI as TO the status Of the amendment
tho former proposes 10 offer. authorizing
the sale of $jOO.O0OO 900 of bonds. and the
substitute. of which the latter had given
notice. providing for the free coinage OF
silver at the ratio of 10 to ].
fTbass IN ltF Afr 10
that the resolution did not favor nor
discriminate against any amendment or
substitute; they would all stand on their
merits and be subject to the rules of the
House.
Mr.. Bland wanted Mr.. Outhwaite to
agree, before he would vote for the rule,
that he (Mr. Bland should have an on
portunity 10 offer his free coinage amend
ment and have II voted upon. If that
were done he should have no objection to
the adoption OF the resolution. Otherwise
the probabilities were that he would never
have an opportunity TO present his propo-
siton. Mr.. Outhwaite declined to enter
into any arrangement respecting the
Bland substitute or any other amend
ment.
OBJECT or The RESOLUTION.
In response 10 a question by MI. Reed.
NJ. Outhwaite said the object OF the
resolution was to bring TO conclusion
within reasonable time the considera-
tion OF the currency bill. which had
been before the House now Tor nearly
TWO weeks. already sufficient period
OF time, considering that Congress was
now in tho short session. The great ap-
preparation bills remain to be acted upon.

Yet passed the Senate, and the Com
inittce on Rules is being daily be
sleged by tho friends of the Nicaragua
canal bill. the Pacific retunding bill ana
other vastly important measures, Tor
time for their consideration. The rule
grants ample time for the consideration
of the bin under the fve-mlnute rule.
Mr.. Reed said the situation seemed 10
him TO bc an unfortunate one, IN that
probably nothing would save the bill
and the public was discussing ;ae best
method Of getting rid of II.
Mr.. Reed suggested TO Mr.. Outhwaite
that before bringing the resolution to a
vote of the House he should consent
10 "a modification Of its terms. so as to
permit a discussion first upon the most
important part OF the bll.
