He was exceedingly anx ious that 'the' funding-bill reported by Senator Sherman should be passed as speedily as possible. He said there was an shun i diu4=rioney now In Europe waltingi 'and - that If the bill was pawed an early day he bad no doubt 1500.000.000 or 1600.000,000 could be fended within the prewar, year. When that was accomplished a reduction of 130,000,000 of internal taxes would be advisable.
