Few years afterward, he went to Cincin-
natl. Later he became cashier OF the
Ohio Life Insurance and Trust Com
pany, Mr.. Coe was first cashier Of the
American Exchange Bank and latterly
became its president. 1t was largely
owing TO Mr. Goes masterful financial
ability that the scheme OF issuing clear
ing house certificates was first resorted
TO in 1873, to tide over the money
stringency. This. at that time, arrest
ed the threatened general commercial
ruin, at the time Of the failure OF Jay

A CRITICAL PERIOD
For the River aud HarbOr Bill i:
Rapidly Approaching.
A Certainty Of Two or Three Days
Debate on the Measure IN the
Senate - Handicapped by the
Santa Monica Harbor Clause
The Programme fer the Week in
the House.

Washington, D. c., May 3.-The Sen
ate programme for next week is to first
take up the river and harbor bill, and
when that is disposed of, to follow with
the bill making appropriations for the
District of Columbia.
Opinions differ very widely as TO the
time the river and harbor bill will con-
sumo, but no estimates place it at less
than two or three days. Whether it
shall go on longer will depend upon the
political temper OF the Senate. If, as is
not improbable, something should be
said 10 open up political debate similar
to that of last week, there is no telling
to what length the discussion may be
drawn out. The managers will make
strenuous effort to keep politics and
several financial questions in the back
ground and TO hold the discussion down
10
THE MERITS OF THE BILL.
This may be accomplished by promise
of an opportunity TO discuss the PETER
bond resolution or some other political
question before the final adjourn
ment.
The principal subject of debate in
connection with the bill itself is the
amendment, suggested by the Commit
tee on Commerce. providing for the eX-
penditure of 100000 for the improve
ment of the harbor at Santa Monica,
Cal. Senator White will offer an amend
ment making the appropriation depend
ent upon the recommendation of COM
mittee of engineers which he will pro-
pose, and in case this amendment is lost
will make an effort 10 defeat the entire
provision. He will be supported by five
or six members of the Committee on
Commerce, and especially by Senator
Berry. They will make an effort to
show lthat the appropriation has been
provided for at the instance of the
Southern Pacific railroad, and it is not
improbable that there may be fore
taste of the Pacific railroad discussion
in this discussion.
There will be an effort during the
week on the part of the Republican Sen
ators TO agree upon an order of business
for the remainder of the session.
The programme for the week in the
House
Is VERY UNSETTLED.
Nothing definite has been agreed upon
except that the Pacific railroad funding
bill in behalf of which there has been
much pressure will not come up. w.
Bartholde. chairman Of the Committee
on immigration. desires TO get up the
immigration bill the latter part of the
week but it is doubtful whether he will
be able to do so. In case any confer
ence reports on appropriation bills are
presented they will have the right OF
way.
There are half dozen contested cleo
ton cases on the calendar, and as they
are privileged, it is probable that most
of the week will be occupied in their
consideration. The House has already
disposed of nineteen cases, thirteen in
