 INTHE SENATE.
 The financial question was brought to the front early in today's session by sem ate resolution, which was offered by MT. Manderson, republican, and which, after discussion, was referred to the finance committee. It embraced several proposi- tioas which Mir. Manderson admitted looked like a hodge, podge, but which re- ally were, he said, compromise that might and ought to be embodied into law. These were a reserve of S200, 900 900 in gold and S200 ,000, ,000 in silver the issue of bonds payable in gold or silver; the destruction of legal tender notes when paid in gold or silver; the exchange for five years, when demanded, of gold for silver coin and of silver for gold coin; the use of the new less denomina nation than $10); the require ment of payment of duties in gold on goods imported from countries having gold standard, and in gold or silver on goods imported from countries having silver standard, and finally the free coinage of gold and silver at the ratio of 16 to and the enlarged coinage of subsidiary silver coin. Interesting remarks on this propo- sition and on the financial question gem orally were made by .Messrs. Manderson 1 and Teller.
 MT. Hill presented a resolution from the chamber of commerce of the city of New York on the subject ofnational finances, and said that he did so on account of the high standing of that body, one of the oldest organizations of the kind in this country, having been founded in 176S, and on account of other considerations.
 The resolution, which declares hearty concurrence with the recommendations of the president of the United States, was read and referred to the finance committee.
 Amendments to the pooling bill, which MT. Butler, democrat, of South Carolina, said he would call up tomorrow, were sug- gested by Mir. Chandler, republican, of New Hampshire, looking, among other things, to the preliminary submission of proposed changes of railroad rates to the interstate commerce commission.
 The bankruptcy bill was discussed for e couple of hours, and the commercial trav- elerss bill. allowing the issue of 5000 mile mileage ticksts, was passed.
 At b:26 the ssnate adjourned until to- morrow.
