Money Bill Advances in Senate Amid Banking Debate
The Senate debated Aldrich's banking bill with amendments on reserve requirements, deposit guarantees, and retirement of emergency notes. Key figures like Mr Culberson, Mr Johnston, Mr Nelson, and Mr Owen spoke as divisions over bank deposits, state insurance, and use of funds defined. The verdict on Nelson's federal guaranty failed 64 to 4, and the chamber adjourned after a short executive session. The measure may move to the House Banking and Currency Committee, with party caucus plans shaping its fate.

Senate and House Pass Aldrich Banking Plan Amid Debate
The Congress is described as condensing the Aldrich financial bill with a Senate pass and House adjournment until Monday. The measure would allow certain national banking associations to issue additional circulating notes backed by bonds other than U S. bonds, with Treasury and Comptroller oversight and complex distribution rules to balance regional allocations. A tax regime on circulating notes and reserve requirements follows, detailing securities, deposits, and penalties for noncompliance.
