Mr. Cockrell presented a petition from the Wage Workers’ Political Alliance of the Dis- trict of Columbia (a body of which he knew nothing, he said) demanding the distribution of $20 per capita per annum to cach public authority, “such as states, territories, districts, counties, towns and villages, within the limits of the’ republic, for ‘the purpose of enabling them to’ pay their debts and ex- penser, without any taxation whatever; and that “national taxation shall be abolished until freedom from debt shall, be universal within the limits of the republic.” The Vice President asked Mr. Cockrell to what committee the petition should be re- ferred. Mr. Cockrell—To the finance committee, as the only committee that can cope with it. It was eo referred. Mr. Cockrell also introduced “‘at the special Fequest and instance” of the same body (but without indorsing it in any way whatever bill to establish a department of banking. Same reference.

The resolution offered yesterday by Mr. Plumb for daily meetings of the Senate at 10 a. m.and for recess from 5:90to8 p. m. was taken up. Mr. Cockrell suggested that if 11 fixed for the hour of meeting thi an opportunity to attend to soine committce work; whereas if the Sc met at 10 no committee work could be d He also questioned the advisability of night sessions and the probability of an attendance of a quorum. He reminded the Senate that during the last session, when the tariff bill was under consideration, and when the hour for meeting was 10 a.m.. there were no night sessions, and yet business was done in @ most pleasant and satisfactory manner. Mr. Plumb recognized the force of the sug- gestion, but FAVORED TRYING THE EXPERIMENT. Mr. Reagan thought that Senators might just as well be frank with one another. They ail understood on both sides that the object of the Proposition was to choke off debate on the elections bill and to prevent its full, free and deliberate consideration. AX EXCITING DEBATE. The discussion on Mr. Plumb’s resolution was kept up (amid considerable excitement on the floor and in the galleries) until 2 o'clock, when it went over without action. ‘THE ELECTIONS BILL.

The bill as re- Ported from the House District committee was an innocent little measure, merely providing that in future all street railway companies should sell tickets at the legal rate in perfor- ated slips and that no tickets should be used a second time. The bill was looked on as a sanitary measure, it being claimed that disease was often spread by the old tickets, especially as many careless persons have a habit of slip- ping the much-handied and often dirty tickets between their lips while waiting for the con- ductor to make his rounds, The two amendments, however, which were tacked to the ' bill rather changed its complexion and caused it to leave an ex- ceedingly bad taste in the mouths of the. rai way com} laid down the law “No seat, no fare,” while Mr. McComas made the addition of eight tick- ets for 25 cents. ITS PATE IN THE SENATE. The bill has now gone over to the Senate and may slumber peacefully in kome pigeon hole for many days. If it ever doesobtain a hearing in the Senate it will afford an opportynity for senatorial eloquence on a subject on which many Senators are nccustomed. to express themselves with vigor and force. It is thought that the Senate, even if it passes the Dill, will greatly modify its provisions, The clause which provides that tocollectafare the passenger must be fur- nished a seat is held by many people at the Capitol, and people, too, who are far from pleased with the present ‘street railway facili- ties, to be utterly impracticable. WHAT ONE SENATOR SAYS. One Senator said toa Sran reporter today: Tt would be asad calamity to pass the bill in ite present shape, as in that case we would probably lose Mr. Springer forever. Some fay he would be ina hurry to get to the Cape itol, and after about six cars had gone by him in which the seats were all taken his remorse would be so great that he would, doubtless, butt his head against the sirst convenient wall.” EIGHT TICKETS FOR A QUARTER. In regard to the eight tickets for 25 cents there is not so much opposition.

The House Committee on Banking and Cur- rency Considering Means of Kelief. The House committee on banking and cur- rency met this morning and there was a gen- eral discussion of the financial situation. There was considerable difference of opinion mani- fested. Soveral of themembers thought that the great need was a restoration of public con- fidence and that with this secured financial af- fairs would right themselves. ‘Mr. Walker and one or two other members of the committee were in favor of additional legislation in the interest of the national banks, and Mr. Walker will draft « bill to meet his views of what should be done to permanently better the financial situaticn. CHAIRMAN DORSEY'S PLAN. The result of the decision was the adoption of a resolution to request the House to set apart a day for consideration and disposition of Chairman Dorsey's bill to reduce to $1,000 the minimum amount of United States bonds which national banks shall be re- quired to keep on deposit and to permit e ise of circulating notes by national banks to the full amount of the par value of bonds deposited. ‘This would, it was said, increase the amount of money in circulation almost immediately by $18,000,000 and would result in a freer issue of national bank notes by making the loss on circulation insignificant, or, perhaps, nothing at all. When the bill comes up in the House Chairman Dorsey, in behalf of the committee, will move an amend- ment to provide for the imue of greenbacks whenever the national bank circulation falls below $185,000,000. STATE TAXATION OF NATIONAL BANK AND TREASURY NOTES. Mr. Morrill of Kansas was authorized to re- port favorably a bill to subject national bank and United States treasury notes to state taxa- tion. In his report on this bill Mr. Morrill ‘Your committee can see no good reason why one form of currency should be exempt from taxation while another ix liable to taxed. Gold and silver are taxable, and certifi- cates or treasury notes redeemable in gold and silver ought to be placed on the same basis.” THE CIRCULATING MEDIUM TOO SMALL. Mr. Dorsey, in speaking of the situation, said: “The circulating medium of the country is too small. Nearly every one admits that. But we could get along as we did before if contidence could be restored, and we hope to do that and to increase circulation somewhat by the bill we will call up. ‘The banks all have more money in their vaults then they ever had before. All the western members concur in that. Our little banks have twice as much money in the vaults as they formerly carried. The big banks even discount our bills and we have to protect ourselves. ‘Then a tdeal of money has been taken out of by people who have become alarmed at the course of oes ‘and have locked their money in safe its. A great deal of mone: has been sent abroad to bay console. ‘Only a Secretary Proctor’s Suggestions.
