Washington, N. July 24. Since the passage by the Senate of the bill to re-imburse the deposit6rs ot reed- man Savings and Trust the Comotroller of Currency, as ex-officio commissioner of said trust, has issued the folio wng circular un reply to remon strances received from white depositors against that provision in the bill which limits the relief to depositors of African i i "This bill does not in way impair or effect the rights of any depositors in the Freedman Savings and Trust Co. to his I full share of the proceeds of the assets! of tnat institution. The corporation is in liquidation, and that liauidation will proceed and what ever is ultimately realized will be divided among all the depositors who have proved their claims in accordance with the existing laws.

The effect of the bill passed by I the Senate will be, if it becomes a law, simply to make good to those for whose benefit exclusively the institution was originally designed, the difference het ween their share of the assets ofsthe corporation and the amount of their de posits. This is a pure gratuity irom Congress to these people, and the distinction in their favor rests upon the unquestionable fact that no one but persons of Airican descent had any right to make use of the Freedman's Saving BankTnany manner, or to! acquire by any means any interest whatever in its assets. Neither you nor any white depositor Shave any WkA-lWA claim th bounty of Con- wrrt bound to know tne limitations of the charter of Corpora-inn'with which you dealt, and therefore to know that its officers could hot law- MWtnke vour deposits. It is not now wrled in anv way to inflict upon white depositors any loss, and up to this time they have been treated precisely like those depositors who could alone lawfully make! use of the institution and I know of no reason why they should not nnntinue to be treated in the same way, assets of the corporation OV tire, concerned.

I The House Quiet Since tlie Pas saxe of Mills Oiy. By Telesraph to the Sun. SENATE. A resolution to print 5,000 additional copies of the report of the Senate com mittee pn pensions, on the subject of vetoed pension bills, was taken up, the question beiing on CockrelPs amendment to print 1,000,000 copies of Presi dential vetoes in the last and present Congress. After the debate, in which the somewhat! famous Mrs.

'Doherty case was the chief topic, the matter was allowed to pass over without action, and Sherman, from the committee on finance, reported an amendment to the sundry- civil bill to incorporate in it a provision to refund direct tax. Referred to committee I on appropriations. The Senate then proceeded to the consideration of the naval appropriation bill. Among the amendments reported from the committee on appropriations, and agreed to by the Senate, were the following Striking out an itemVof $50,000 for expenses of the commission; to locate a naval yard near the coast of the Gulf of Mexico; inserting an item of $5,000 for continuing the improvement of the Naval Hospital Park, at Portsmouth, Va. The most important amendment reported jwas to add to the item the construction of three steam cruisers, two of them of about 3,000 tons at a cost not exceeding $1,100,000 each, exclusive of armament; 'one of about 5,000 tons, at a cost of not 'more than $1,800,000.

The following 'also: Three gunboats or cruisers, neither of which shall exceed 1,700 tons in displacement, nor $500,000 in cost, including any premium tliat may be paid tor increased speed and including cost of armament; said vessels to be built either wholly ot steel or with steel frames. To strike out of the item the words, "and one armored cruiser of about tons displacement, to cost not more than $3,500,000," and also to! strike out the provision that at least one of these vessels be built in the United States Navy yard, and that others may built at the Navy yards if the Secretary cannot make reasonable contracts for their construction. Mr. Gray moved to amend the amendment by striking out the words, "1,700 tons," and inserting the "2,000 tons," and increase the cost from to $700,000 each. Mr.

Morgan approved the committees-amendment, except as to the striking out of a provision for a 7,500 ton armored cruiser. That he! did not favor, as he regarded these large vessels as more efficient than forts in the protection of harbors, Other speeches in favor of the building of large war ships and a strong jiavy were made by Senators Hawley, Teller, Butler Reagan and Gibson. While it all advocated the amendment proposed by the committee on appropria tions. Mr. Morgan, speakingottbemorai power which a strong fighting navy would give to the United States, said that Germany would not be sweeping the Pacific if the United States had a good navy.

Not that Germany was afraid of the United States, but she knew that the United Stales was not going to arm in order to protect the Pacific ocean) Thphuildimr of a good fighting navy would do more for the commerce of the country than1 thc.any other measure. Mr. Stewart n.oved to amend tne House clauseUproposed to be struck out) by making the tonage of the armored cruiser 15,000 tons, instead of 7.50O. and the limiof cost $10,000,000, instead of $3,500,000. Gibson suggested to Stewart to modify his amendment so as to provide for two vessels if war of about 15,000 tons each at a costjf $10,000,000.

Stewart accepted thejsuggestion and modified his amendment accordingly, and spoke in favor of the Duilding up of fighting A general vote was taken on Stewart's and it was rejected, yeas S) navs 41. affirmative votes being those of Butler, Cameron, Evarts, Gibson, Hamp ton.
