The Treannry will deal with each bank separately, and every back imsuing emergency curremy will pay to the Trossury a high rate of interest on this carrongy so long as it remains in circulation, the

banke, of course, having the privilege of with draw ing the notes at any time, when the securities on which they are based will be returned ta them and the interest will wase.

Herr Gröober (Centro) made an attack on the Navy League. He did not believe that the bill contained a hidden increase of the fest. In view of the demands now made, they should not immediately raise ories for another new Navy Bill. The attitude of the State Secretary was estoulated to encourage the agitation of the Navy League.

With this the general discussion ended. Its result, as summed up in the report to be prosented to the Reichstag, was that the com- mission admitted justsfloation of the bill.

The Navy League itself has just entered on snother orisis, which will certainly impeds ibe fatara activity. It may be recalled that in mediately after the elections last winter certain letters written by Goueral Keim, who occupied s prominent position on the executive of the league, found their way into a Centre newspaper. They showed that although the League enjoyed ail privileges and immunities of a "non-political association, the General had during the election carried on an active propagands against the Clerical party.
