 VIII Make Inquiry
OTHER BILLS SIDETRACKED

 In Later.

Washington, December 10.-Senator AL drich today informed the Senate that the committee on finance would within a very short time bring ih a resolution providing for an inquiry into the recent bond issues of the government and that it would provide for an investigation into all matters contained in resolutions offer ed by senators concerning the financial stringency, and the efforts of the gov ernment to relieve the situation. With this assurance, Senators Culberson of Texas and Clay of Georgia agreed to per init their resolutions to go to the com- mittee for it's consideration. Senator Tilman allowed his resolutions on the same subject to lie on the table until he secures data he desires to present to the Senate. The Senate adjourned at 1:05 p. m.
 In discussing the resolution today Mr Clay said that up to the present time $25OOOO 900 had been deposited by the government in national banks and most of it had been on deposit during the present year.
 "I do not believe he said, that we can justify the placing of such money in banks and then calling for money by the issue of bonds. That system should be investigated and condemned
 MT. Clay then agreed to have his reso- lution go to the committee on finance. Senator Tillman's resolution, introduced yesterday, directing the committee on finance to make investigation concern ing the recent bond issue and also rela- to oia inc partifiPltPS. also was placed before the Senate. MT. Till man said that in view of what had been doae with the others resolutions on the same subject he would not discuss his resolution at this time, but said he would like to have them lie on the table until he could secure information he was en- deavoring to get. His request was agreed to.
 The fact that an agreement to refer tn, Culberson and Clay resolutions to the finance committee and to postpone the consideration of the Tillman resolu- tions was reached so easily in the Sen ate was traceabe to the brief meeting of the finance committee, which was held st before the beginning of the session of the Senate. An understanding was arrived at in that meeting for the dis position which was made Of the resoiu- tion. Senator Aldrich then promised 10 have the matter taken up at a meeting of the committee to be held on Ihufs- day. when, he said, he would be Wiling to have adopted resolution calling upon the Secretary of the Treasury for all the information asked for by the resolutions
 Senator Culberson has from the hrst preferred to have the information Whlch his resolutions call for before peglnhlhg the financial discussion in the Senate, ana if is understood that Senator Tillman IS desirous of accommodating more material before addressing the Senate on the sup feet. He is working very hard, and when he was asked today what he was oolne, he replied that he was gettine up p''e of rocks to throw. ,, ,,i
