Thought the question of financial legis-;
lation will be settled until few hours
before final adjournment. The differ
ences between the Senate and the
House are many. The Senate regards
the provision of thes House for the
formation of clearing house districts
and the issuance of national bank-notes
on commercial paper guaranteed by
the clearing house associations to be
a species OF asset currency. It is said
that Senator Aldrich and his fellow
managers of the conference on the
present Senate are not unalterably op-s
posed to the plan of the House bill, IL
1t can be safeguarded so us to remove
the asset currency feature. Therefore
1t is possible that the conferees will
work out something that may be ac-,
ceptable to both branches of Congress.
The conferees on the present Senate
are Messrs. -Aldrich. Allison. Hale, Dan
lei ana Teller; on the part of the
House, Messrs. Vreeland, New York;
Burton. Ohio: Weeks, Massachusetts;
Puio, Louisiana. and Glass, Virginia.
All OF these legislators, including the
four Democrats, are in favor of the
passage of somes.sort of emergency
Legislation at the present session, and
on that account failure to agree is not
believed to be possible.
