ANOTHER GOLD STANDARD BILL
Favorable Report on the Measure
introduced by Oyerstreet

! favorable report was ordered yester-
J day by the House Committee on Banking
| and Currency on the Overstrest bill, main
| tanning at all times the parity of the
| standard silver dollar with gold. Two
! Democrats-Driggs of New York and
1hayer of Observation-Disclosures with the
| Republicans in favor of the bill. AS re-
ported the bill is as follows:
That the Secretary of the Treasury is
hereby directed to maintain at all times
at parity with gold the standard silver
dollars of the United States, and to that
end he is hereby authorized and required
at the demand of the holder to exchange
gold coin for standard silver dollars when
presented to the Treasury of the United
States in sums not less than $50.
Sec. 2. That for the purpose of carry
ing out the provisions of this act the Sec
rotary of the Treasury, when in his judg-
ment there is not sufficient gold coin in
the general fund of the Treasury to JUS
tify further use of il for exchange for
standard silver dollars, shall be author
lied and required to employ any part of
the reserve fund of gold coin established
by section of the act of March A. 1900
and the standard silver dollars received
in the reserve fund in exchange for gold
coin under the provisions of this act shall
be held in said reserve fund and not paid
out except in the manner provided in re-
gard TO United States notes in section of
the act of March IA, 1900; and all provi-
sions of law for the maintenance of said
reserve fund relating to United States
notes are hereby made applicable to
standard silver dollars in said reserve
fund That this act shall take effect upon
its passage"
There is considerable rivalry between
the Committees on Coinage, Weights and
Measures, and on Banking and Currency,
over the subject Of bill to maintain the
parity of money. The former committee
on Thursday reported the Hill bill pro-
viding for the gradual recoining of the
silver dollars into subsidiary coin. The
Overstreet bill has no such feature and
differs from the Hill bill in that it pro-
vides that when the gold reserve is drawn
upon to make the exchange of gold for
silver, the silver dollar so received shall
be treated as greenbacks and withdrawn
from the reserve fund only in exchange
for gold.
Chairman Southland, of the Committee
on Coinage, Weights, and Measures, has
introduced a resolution making the Hill
bill a special order to follow the exist
ing special orders in the hoie of head
ing off the Overstreet bill.

TO BEAT THE BOUNTY BILL.
Its Enemies Not Alarmed by Hannn's
Extra Session Threat.


The statements issued yesterday by the
ship subsidy press bureau, to the effect
that the Republican leaders In the Senate
favored an extra session, and that the
dread of having to remain at the Capitol
after March had caused the Democrats to
withdraw their opposition TO the bounty
measure, is said by well-informed men at
the Capitol to be untrue
This statement, like most of those issu-
ed by the Frye press bureau. has been
stretched to the limit and there is no
truth in it. The Republican leaders are
all opposed to an extra session for any
reason whatever. and the list includes

publican leaders. it is reported, that an
attempt was being made by Mr.. Hanna TO
force them into an extra session by means
OF subterfuge. When the report of the
Taft Commission was received Mr.. Hanna
is SAID to have been deeply impressed with
the aeed OF immediate legislation for the
archipelago and so informed the Republic
ans in the Senate. His idea was, ii is al

pretence of Philippine Legislation, when in
reality the plan was 10 secure more time
