Washington, Jan tionnl Board of Trade at ite meeting | today adopted the report Cowmittee on Banking Laws. It was the opinion of the ¢ smmmittee | P that there should be established consistent and deliberately planned financial system.

Tbird—Vbat such banks of issue with « capital of $20.000 or more be authorized to be esiablixbed in towns aud villages of less than 3 000 issue The committee on the subject of a| movey commission made « report, in which Covgress is asked to create a commission to consist of eleven per sous, to be appointed by the Presi- dent, two of whom sball be selected from the Senate Committee on Tie navee and two from the House Bank- ing aod Currency Comwittee Of the other seven members two shall be bavkers recoguized experience aud ability, two agriculturists of prominence, two merchants or man ufacturers of stauding, the remain- ing member to be selected ou ac couvt of recoguized ability and learving in the science of political economy. Iu no event shall more than six members be of the same po litical party. It isto bethe duty of the com- mission to enter upon a thorough and comprehensive consideration of the the currency and banking affairs of the United States, and laws relat- ing thereto On or before Jan. 1, 1898, they shall make a concise and exact report of their deliberations to Congress, together with a proper bill designed to carry their recom- mendations into effect. In case Cougress for any reason faile to authorize the appointment of this commission, the board de clared its approval of the alternative plan of the Indianapolis Convention to appoint such commission itself. The committee to which was re- ferred the subjects of ‘a common monetary unitand international coin” made a report favoring the change of the coins of the United States, of Great Britain and of Germany go as to correspond to the common unit of France, Spain and other European countries, which contains 25 grains of gold, nine tenths fine, equal in value to the French five franc piece. The passage of the bill now before Congress for an international coin was recommended The passage of the Torrey bank- ruptey hill and the establsibment of a department of commerce were also favored The Committee on Waterways and Harbor Improvements made a re. port in which the present system of demned. less bonds of failed contractors to of the) ad | Wednesday was £229 920,399, and of | thie amount no less than $143,889,- | : was in free gold avalat-e for Favorable Report By The Committee in|in this State (Missouri) are hereby | Resolution Passed Asking the Recognition! |current expenses or to act as are 27.—The Na | serve to re leein outstanding pay er i money.

W H Phelps waa there also. The fact tbat such prominent rail way men as the foregoing list took ‘he trouble to to the State capital to lobby against the passage of the redaction bill shows beyond auy doubt that the railroad people are uneasy. It is now a foregone conclusion that a strong effort will be made to bring about the defeat of the bills. The attitude of the House appears to be in favor of passing the reduc ‘ion measures, and it is believed that they will go through the House. The principal argument used against the reduction of charges is that it will result in a cut of wages for the employes of the roads.
