All essential points OF difference be-
tween the Senate and the House con-
ferees on the emergency currency legls-
lation disappeared yesterday. and it is
now practically assured that they will re-
port an agreement to-day. Further than
that, there Is general understanding
that the report will be adopted by the
House this afternoon. and in spite OF
threats Of Democratic Senators 70 talk
the bill to DEATH a hopeful feeling pre-
walls that there viii be no protracted
flibuster and that a vote will be had in
the Senate on Friday or Saturday.
The Republican members OF the con-
ference committee-Senators Aldrich.
Hale. and Allison. for the Senate. and
Representatives Vreeland. Burton. and
Weeks, for the House-had two con
ferences yesterday, and when the second
ended last evening it was admitted that
the compromise bill to be submitted as
part of the conference report was well
on its way to completion.
The Republican conferees will have
another meeting this morning at $50
o'clock, and afterward will call in the
Democratic conferees TO pass on the re-
port which the Republicans will have
ready. II is expected that the report
will go to both Houses shortly after each

report viii be called up in the House
at once. and will be voted on after forty
minutes debate. y canvass of the House
Republicans is said 10 insure the adop-
ton of the report
Filibuster Not Anticipated.
Republican Senators are inclined to doubt
that there will be Democratic filibuster
at their end OF the Capitol The Demo-
cratic opposition in the Senate will be
general but the Republican Senators ex-
press the belief that none Of the minority
will try to prevent a vote by the time
honored practice of talking against time.
The Democratic Senators are opposed
particularly to the provision for the ac-
.ceptance of commercial paper as security
Tor emergency circulation.
While the Republican conferees insist
that there are one or two points Of dif-
ference yet to be adjusted. the agreement
is complete to all intents and purposes.
The amount OF the issue OF the emer-
sency circulation authorized is 500. .00O 00O
The fund to be held in the United States
Treasury as an additional guarantee of
the redemption of the notes is to consist
of 10 per cent of the amount of the issues.
The bin is to be in force for a limited
period only. and while it was said by
conferees that this point was yet to be
adopted. IT seems assumed that the period
will be three years. Within that time
Congress will endeavor to enact a perma-
nent revision of the currency laws.
Asset Security Optional.
The main point Of difference between
the two Houses involved the use of COM
mercIal paper as security for emergency
circulation. as provided In the Vreeland
