WASIM.NC ION, Poc. 10.—In the Senate Tuesday .Senator I'liimb (Kan.) introduced a Wll to reduce the amount of United States bonds to bo required of National banks and to replace their sur rendered notes, and to provide for the freo coinage of silver. It was referred to the committee on finance. Ho also offered an amendment (in tho same terms) to a bill now on tho calendar so that the matter can bo brought before tho Senate independently of any report from tho finance committee. In doing so he gavo notice that if tlio elections bill were not disposed of at an early day ho should move to lay it aside for tho time being in order that tho bill just introduced by him and all othor measures relating to the financial condition of tho country should bo considered.

Something, he said, should bo dona Congress had on it a responsibility which, in his juugmont, it could not avoid for any great poriod of time without lotting goby a very great opportunity for holping tho country, and ono which, in his judgment, would not occur again in very many years. If somothing was not dono within tho noxt two or threo weeks it might as woll be postponed indefinitely.

Two bills imposing a tax upon com pound lard wero reported without recommendation by Senator Paddock (Nob.) from tho committee on agricult uro. One of thorn is tho bill that passed the House last session and tho other is tho bill introduced in the Senato last January by Senator Dawes (Mass.), which has never boon reported by tho commit too.. lioCh bills aro similar in purpose arid provide for tho imposition of a tax upon and regulation of the manufacture of compound lard. Senator Paddock also introduced a proposed amendment to the agricultural appropriation bill, making an appropriation of SliO.OOO for tho purpose of distribution of seed to persons in Kansas who suffered loss bv drought during tho last year.

Sonator Higgins (Del.), 'rom the committee on agriculturo and forostry reported favorably tho bill subjecting oloomargarine to the provisions of the laws of tho several States. Tho bill promises that no State shall bo hold limited in its power to piohibit tho sale or tax of oleomargarine to bo delivered within its own limits for tho reason that it has been imported from some othor State.

Sonator Quay (I'a.) offered a resolution (which was referred to tho committee on finance) for the amendment of tho tariff bill on tbesuujec.t of cables, cordago and twine.

A change in the constitution was asked for limiting the election of presi dent of tho Federation to twj consecutive terms Tho Federation was asked to indorse woman suffrage. Tho report of tho special committee on tho admission of Daniel, representing the Now York Central Labor Federation, was called for. Secretary Foster arose and roportod as follows: "We have concluded that we can not admit any political f-a-ly without admitting others." In short, tlio committee reported unfavorably to tho adiniS' sion of Saniol on the general ground that he came up from an organization without a charter from tho Foderatlon.

Tho previous C|uestioti was called for and a poll vote asked for.

The report was thus declared adopted, and tho American Federation of Labor thus took its stand upon the socialistic element's cntranco into tho organization.

The country dis!ricts claim that under the present system their share of funds is not large enough lo give us as good schools as in the cities. On tho other hand the cilios assert that an average attendance basis will ruin tho city schools, as il II shut, out the Catholic, children from onnnieration. Tho fight threatens to array tin* country against the city population, and if not carefully managed may result jn serious damage lo the ludi:uia school system. There is some indieniion that it will load up lo compulsory attendance al schools.
