called upon for suggestions that in
view OF the report that Secretary Car
Isle has been in consultation with the
leaders of the House with a view To u
revival of the currency bill in the
House, in d modified form. it will be
the better plan to postpone any effort
to do anything in the Satene until
there may be an opportunity to ascer.
tain what will he the result in the
House.
The conversation developed that
the Republicans do not consider the
Treasury situation So critical rs some
of the Democrats do. and they think
1t a question of revenue rather than
currency. 1t is said new currency
bill having eXccutiveapproval will be
introduced in about two weeks.
The Senate committee on finance
met at . o'clock to-day for the pur-
pose of considering the Currency ures
ton. 1t adjourned after Il brief SECS
sion until Saturday. 1t is understood
no bill was submitted TO the Com.
