CURRENCY LAW Is ASSURED.
House Passes Compromise Bill and
Senate viii Do Same.

Washington.-An emergency our.
rency is assured. The curren-
CIV question held it's place Wednes-
day, as practically the only subject OF
consideration at both ends OF the
capitol, and when both houses ad.
journed the compromise bill which
was drafted by the Republican con-
ferees had received the sanction OF
the house and had been presented to
the senate, where 1t was announced 1t
would be taken up for consideration
Thursday, and where 1t will also be
passed when the vote is reached.
The day began with continuation
of Tuesdays conference between the
Republican representatives Of the two
houses. This resulted in complete
agreement which, being later present
ed as matter of form to the Demo
cratic conferees, was shortly after two
D. m. presented to the house. There
it was taken up at three o'clock, dis
cussed for one hour and passed by
vote of 1866 to 140.
The house had no sooner recorded
its verdict in favor OF the Dill than IL
was hurried over to the senate, short
ly before five O'clock. with the an
nouncement Of the approval of the
house.
The conference report was read, and
after the reading had been concluded
Mr. Aldrich announced that Thursday.
after routine business, he would move
to take up the report and continue its
consideration until it was disposed OF.
Senator La Toilette refused to out
line his probable course further than
to say that he would vote against the
new bill. He was in consultation with
Democratic leaders at different times
during the day, and his bearing was
such as to lead to the conclusion that
| if the Democrats would agree to fight
the measure he would assist them.
