CALLED On SPEAKER REED.
The Committee on Legislation From
the lndinnapoIis Convention

The members of the committee on legis-
lation, which was appointed by 5he Indian
apolis monetary convention of last sum
mer. called on Speaker Reed today and
talked with him concerning legislation for
currency and banking reform.
Tine spokesmen of the delegation were
George Foster Peabody of New York John
Z. Irish of San Francisco and H. H. Han
ma Of Indianapolis. They spoke of the
dcsirability of the passage Of "A hill author
izing the President TO appoint a commits
sion TO investigate the banking and sur
mend changes.
If any bill embcdying a system which
was acceptable TO the business interests
of the country could be passed they would
indorse such legislation without the crea-
ton of any commission.
The reed of charges i'm the present bank
ing system which would insure Il moe
p-ei-tiful and elastic supply of circulation
fer farming districts remote from the cit
les was the principal point that they urged
in support of their movement.
Mir. Reed told the committee that the
passage of the tariff bill was the first and
principal work cut out for this session OF
congress. Congress rarely moved faster
ran the people in matters of legislation. he
said. and when public sentiment became
crystalfzed in favor of any particular form
OF financial legislation. Congress- would l,e
apt to respond with little della
ir the people demanded changes I'm the
banking system. and brought pressure to
bear on Congress they would secure the
changes.

sician that size and weight had no bear
ing on the question of soundress. Possibly
it would be good thing if men were Sc
lected for the Senate who were sound In
health and who could take twelve con-
secutive hons But We must lake human
nature as Ii is. and when the government
selected typesetters because Of their
weight, size and ability to hop it was TN
absurdity. Referring to the size and
weight requirement, Mr.. Gallinger said
Phil Sheridan could not have served the
government if the civil service commits
sion had got at him.
He couldn't have entered the govern
ment printing service. added Mr.. Haw-
ley Comm
The matter was finally referred to the
civil service committee.
A resolution by Mr.. Morgan (Ala) was
agreed to requesting the Attorney General
for information relative to any agreement
for the disposition of the Union Pacific
railroad by sale or otherwise.
a resolution by Mr.. Lodge (Mass) was
agreed to requesting the President for in
formation relative to the killing of two
American sailors. Richelieu and Bolton, at
Santiago de Cuba.
At 1850 the Senate went into executive
session.
The early part of the executive session
of the Sci ate today was devoted to the
consideration of the question of the filling
of the Senate committee vacancies. The
discussion was desultory in character, and
no plan vas suggested for solving the
problem. After the committee question had
been discus sed for an hour more it was
laid aside and Senator Gray was recog
nized to speak in support of the treaty.
