The Repuldlean Senators were in eaucrtH for three hours last night considering the financial tiuesUou awl the questkm of passing the Federal Elections bill. The reMilt of the canons is the adoption of the HnaneHtl scheme reported from the caucus committee Monday night in sulstance, with tlie clause providing for the issue of two ir eent. bonds eliminated. This proposition will be brought before the Senate before tlie vote is taken on the Federal Klectiona bill, and after

wards a rule will be reported to provide for establishing the previous question, tlie objeet of this rule being tlie imssage of the Klectiona bill. It was also determined practkmlly that there will be no holidays at Chemtmaa time. The bond proposMnn of Senator Sherman was not given up without a struggle by the Senator from Ohio. He had the caucus committee in session all afternoon trying to agree to sosne compromise which might Ins accepted by the caucus in place of his original proposition, ami he urged upon the caucus the necessity of adopting either hia proposition or that of Secretary Windom for tlie issue of interconvertible bonds. Neither of the propositions was acceptable to the caucus, however, and the bond clause was stricken from the bill. Another important change made in it

related to tlie amount of bonds deposited to be required of the National

banks. The proposition of the caucus committee was to reduce thj amount for all banks of 160,660 capital, but to leave the law unchanged affecting other banks. The other features of the caucus bill were: 1. The purchase of $12,000,000 silver during the calendar year 1801, not more than W.006,000 in auy one month and the issue of Treasury notes on it according to the provisions of the law of duly 12, 1SW. 2. The issue of Treasury notes based on silver to take the place of National bank notes retired whenever the amount of the National bank notes in circulation shall fall below ?ISO,000,000, and the issue of United States notes when silver can not be had. 8. The rccoinageof the subskliary qoia and the trade dollars in the Treasury. 4. The Issue of National bank notes to par amount of IkmhIs deposited to seuure them instead of to ninety per

cent., as now. a. A provision that when silver

have remained at nar for a year, any

one holding silver bullion shall bo entitled to bring it to the mint ami have it coined into dollars at the expense of the Government. When this measure will be reported to the Senate is not determined. It is not expeeted that it will be brought up this week, although the finance com

mittee, which meets to-day to eonemer the "Hinder twine" mistake ha the Tariff law, may discuss the proposed new financial measure at the same meeting. The general expression of opinion was against tlie adjournment of the Senate for the holiday season, and although no vote was taken on this it is likely the Senate will remain in session through next week. The debate on the Fcnleral Elections bill will continue through tJiis week, and next week the financial measure will be brought up while the Elections bill is laid asklc. The motion which was made at the caucus of last week to authorize tlui rules committee to report n general rule for establishing the previous question was agreed to, but with

the understanding that the rule will not

Keen, the banker, whose fall are has lweu announced, made an assignment this morning. The deposit are sakl to reach half a million dollars, nearly all due to wnall depositors largely of the MethodUt perMtwdon, aa the head of the Ihhum- wa prominent in that denomination. Tlie liabilities are estimated at &Vn),. 666. It la sakl the assets will not amount to over one-fourth of the liabilities. W. 1. Fennell, attorney for Mr. Keen, said this morning that there had been a steady drain not a run-on the bank since the first day of the present month, when suspicions reports of the bank's condition first began to be eireulated among

the depositors. Two hundred thousand dollars in cash, Mr. Feunell said, had been withdrawn from the bunk in fourteen days, and that amount ia these timea ot tight money, he snhl, is no insignificant sum. In making the assignment Mr. Kean turned over every bit of tangilde property he owned, in. eluding hia home and all property here and elsewhere. In the language of lik attorney: "He eame down town this morning with 910 in his pocket-all he has in the world." Henjamin F. Jacobs, the assignee, took possession of the bank this morning. He declines to see the lunik" creditors for the present. He hopes to put the bank on its feet again. No other local bank is affected by the failure, ami the presidents of all the National banks agree that monetary matters in this city are in an excelunt condition. It is reported on good authority that

a special correspondent of the Wall Street News, who waa allowed to in spect the books and securities of tls bank, telegraphed his paper that th creditors would not realise more thai twenty-five cents on the dollar.
