sented in the Senate to-day and were

caution against its failure to give logis-
lative aid to the Treasury, arrangements
had been made for four per cent. coin
bond. 20 run thirty years at a premium
which would make the actual interest
three and three-fourths per cent, but
coupled with the condition that if
three per cent. gold bond were authorized
by Congress, within ten days, they would
be substituted for the four per cent
bonds, thus saving S39l59 in annual in
torest, and saving $l6l7i.77O in interest
for the full term Of thirty years. With
out any comment. but with an apparent
sense Of tho importance of the Presidents
representations. the message was re-
ferred 10 the Committee on Finance.
