The princl- pal amendments reported by the Senate Com- mittee which were agreed to were those pro- viding for thie payment of interest semi-an- nually, making the timne of the bonds five- twentles instend of five-tens, and Inereasing the allowance for printing and placing tho bonds from one-quarter to onehalf of 1 per eent. The Democrats, generally speaking, with five Republicans, voted for the 8 per centrate of interest, while the greater part of the Republieans; with four Democrats and Judge Davis, voted for nilf percgnt rate.

It hias been the expectation of the supporters of the 3 per cent measure that, funasimueh ay the Senanta has aceepted the bill of the House of Reprosentatives inall itdsubstantlal features, the ouse might waive its decision upon the minor question of commission. This feature of the bill, however, was under the specinl chargo of Speaker Randali when It passed tho Ilouse, and it i3 mafuly due to his eftorts that the rato was fixed at one-quarterof 1 per cent. Many Demoerats questioned the propriety ot 5o luw o figure, and some were doubtful whether that rate would be sufli- clent to vay for tho paper and cost ot engrav- ing, advertising, and the necessary commis- slons, TUE ARGUMENTA PRESENTED TO TUE BEN- ATIE ATE were 80 strong that the rate was fucrensed to one-halt of 1 per cent by a lurge mnjurity, “Fho Senutas Flnaneo Committee, signally de- feated upon most of its recommendutions, wiis able to muimtain this fenture of its bill, ‘Ihere wore ndditional reasons presented In the Senate to show that tho Increased come ission i3 necessary. A Randall, however, wished to muke u great deal of politieal cap- ital out of the hacknoyed story of tho Syn- dientes, and was especially anxious thut there ghould be no opportunity given in this bill for what he calls *the bank-grab.” There have been somoe changes of views In the IHouse, however, upon this question sluee the bill was sent to the Senate, and thoro 13 some reason to think that tho House will neeept the Senate moditiention. £ this can bo done, thers will probably be no conference upon the bill, as the simple con- currence in the Sennts smendments would pass i, Thera hus been HUME TALK OF A VETO, but this talk is purely speculation, Doubts less the brakers will uso rumors of that kind fur thelr supposed effect upon the murkoet, but thero {8 no fonndation for such re- yorts, Seeretary Sheran, referriug to the statement thut o veto would be possible, sald ta-night thut there would be 1o voto; that the bill was not o proper sub- jeet for a veto. The President, Secretary Stherman said he was certaly, would not at- tempt to Interfers with the decislon of the two Honges upon this question, und the blil would be allowed to becoms n law without Executive Interference. 1€ it should fail, thoss who passed It would be responsible, Boing usked Lf ho thought that it would full, Secrotary Shorman sald that he did not wish 1o bo regardod ng saying so, ME HOPED THAT IT WOULD BUCCEED, but that It remulned yet to be determined whether or not it could bo successtul, Other "I'reasury ofticlals who ure not under any re- straint from thelr position do not hesitate to oxpress the oplulon that n 8 per cent bond cannot be successfully negotiuted, il they suv that Hasratarv Sherman's viows are lu sult of the operntions of the new act, and anticipate a possible contraction of the currency. They say that n great vortion / of the banks will not fiml the profits in eirculation snflicient to warrant them In malntainiog their clrcula- tlon; that they wiil sell their 4 per cent bonds, which they now have as a security for circulation, In order to renlize the large profits upon them. and that, before July 1, there will be a sudden and extensive and DISASTIIOUS CONTRACTION OF THE CUR- RENCY under the existing Iaw, which permits banks to retire thelr circulation upon presentation of their legal-tenders. This Is the view of the pessimists. On the contrary, the sup- vorters of the bill as passed say that thero can be no question of its success, Senator McPherson ventured the prediction that the subscrloers to the loan would rush to the ‘I'rensury for the I per cent bonds as the poor dn toasoup-house in thue of famine. The agent of Fisk & latch here says that that tirm will subseribe for the entlre 3 per cent * loun, THURSDAY NIGHT.
