Washington, March 2.—There have
been various statements made during the
past few days relative to the probable
action of the President on the Funding
bill in tho event of the ooncurrenoe oi the
House in the Senate amendments thereto.
Several prominent officials have stated
that the Comptroller of the Currency lias
made the assertion that if the bill is
passed in its present shape the President
will veto it.
On the other hand, statements directly
opposite of this have been made by
equally as prominent Treasury officials.
A gentleman who occupies a position of
prominence in the department intimated
this morning that should the bill pass the
House in the shape it was received from
the .Senate there was at the preae
indication of its receiving the disap
proval of the President.
No reliableinformation can be obtained,
however, as to which course the President
will pursue. Wile
