'Washington, Jan 17 The house com mittee on banking and cunency gave heatings today to Oamnllel Biadfoid, of Boston, nnd B. B Ferris, vlcu piesi dent of the Bank of New York, all of whom had suggestions to make con cerning the solution of the currency problem, Mr. Ferls advocated the passage of a bill which, he explained, was chlelly diavvii by himself and had been intro duced by Mi. McClellnn, of New Yoik. Mr. Perils said his plan was not a iicvt system, but was amendatory ot tho present national banking act. Among other features, tho comptroller of the cunency should be authoilzcd to Issue notes to banks up to tho par value ot their bonds. To piovlde for the re demption of the notes Issued under this act the sccretaiy of the treasury should be authorized to create redemp tion districts, each bank in such a dis trict to select a bank In the central city of such ledemption district to act ns Its ledemption tiuent, and to be tc tiulred to keep with this redemption ii-rcnt a deposit equal to Ii per cent, of ItH, outstanding uitculntlon. Ml. Per ils also argued in favor of potmlttlng banks of hugo capital to establish blanches In their vailous ledemption districts, for which ptovlsion was made in the bill. Mr. Jbadford said that for thlity ycnis he had devoted himself to tlie study of various problems concerning the rational llnances. lie asked how tlie people of the United States could bo lilnmed for going astray on the finan cial question, when the United Stntes senate set the CMimplo In 'nslstlng upon the fteo coinage of silver and gov ernment bonds weio sold under con ditions leccntly existing. It would not do, ho snld, to letire tlie greenbacks without providing something to take their place, ele a panic might come and the people would demand that the retliement be stopped, as had been done befoie. Mr. llrndfoid criticised the Indianapolis convention foi taking no effective steps tow aid the solution of the cuiiency question. He wanted the secietaiy of the tieasury to come be foie congress and tell wlinl ho wanted in the Un" of cuiiency legislation. Ho thought this wus the only way to make an piogiess.

Opposition to the Hill Creating n .11 1 in n g Department. ITanisbuig, Jan. 17 The opposition to the bill intending to cieate a min ing depattment is duo to the expense involved. It pi ov Ides for one chief at $3,000 salaiy, a deputy or chief clerk at $2,500; tour cleiks at $l,f.00, and foity mine inspeetots at $3 000. Theie are at pie-sent twentj-nlne inspeetots, who get $.1,000 each, but thoj aie accountable tn nobody, and it is aigued that the leal object of a bill of this chaiactei Is to see that the woik is done well and not to cieate a number ot new ofllcos and take $73,500 mole from the tieasui eveiy jear.
