Notes in Bank
Congressman from Missouri Has Res

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-Whether the
banks of the United States are getting
ready to issue emergency currency is a
question that is puzzling Representative

Mr.. Shackleford had heard unoffically
that under the emergency act of May 3d.

printed 81, ,1S2, $3.50 Of this currency and
that $444 463, $50 of that amount was issued
to banks in the ordinary course of bust
ness.
This left $6S7 ,697. 14O of emergency cur
rency in possession of the Treasury de-
partment on February 2, 1910
Mr. Shackleford wanted the secretary OF
the treasury to inform the house as fol
lows:
What national currency associations
have been formed under the emergency
currency act.
What amount of circulating notes have
been issued to banks under the provision:
of that act on February /, 1910.
To what banks 1t has been issued.
Have the securities upon which sucf
circulating notes have been issued beer
set forth in the daily statement of thu
United States treasurer?
Have such circulating notes issued t
banks been shown in the circulation state
ment issued monthly by the Treasury de
partment?

LONDON. Feb. 22.-The political atmos-

reassembled today, but ray of hope ap-
peared with the announcement that the ma

not to move an amendment to the address
in reply to the speech from the throne.
The text OF the nationalist resolution fol-
lows
Resolved, That having regard for the
supreme Importance of the constitutional
struggle going on between the two houses
of Parliament, and being convinced that
the primary business of this Parliament
was to act on the mandate given in the
general election and proceed forthwith to
limit the veto power now exercised by the
House of Lords over all progressive legis-
lation. the Irish party decides not tO
complicate that great issue by moving an
amendment to the address. or by bsllotine
for bills and motions during the present
session."
This decision was accepted generally tc
mean that although John Redmond. the
nationalist leader, had rendered judgment
against the government, he and his follow.
ers had decided to defer the execution OF
the sentence and not to throw out the
from supporting the financial measure, al
they abstained In the last Parliament.

which the nationalists are playing.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-Several hours
again were devoted by the senate commit
tee on interstate commerce today in lis
tening to Attorney General Wlckersham
expound his views concerning necessary
amendments to the interstate commerce
law. 1t had been expected he would COM
plete his explanation of the administration
railroad bill today in time to permit the
making of report to the senate. Members
of the committee were so much interested
in what he had to say that they invited
him to come back again tomorrow. 1t is
not now expected that the bill will be re-
ported until late in the week.
Every phase of the railroad rate question
touched on in the amendments proposed
by the administration measure is receiv-
ing attention and practically all of the
members of the committee have taken part
in the examination of the attorney general.
Supporters and opponents of the bill alike
united in the statement that the sessions
are the most instructive that they have
ever attended and that the views Of Mr.
Wickersham will be helpful in debate in
the bill after it is reported to the senate
While the majority of the members OF
the committee will vote to report the ad-
ministration bill with very few changes

Clapp, and perhaps one or two of the
democratic members may dissent and
bring in the Cummins' bill as a minority

the opinion that no report could be made
