Only an Appropriation for the Army
and a few ConfrmatiOns TO be

Only an Appropriation for the Army
and a few Combinations to be
Asked for.
The President will give to Con
gress no excuse for extending the
extra session beyond a week or ten
days. The only subject that will be
brought to its attention, in the spec
ial message, will be the necessity of
making an appropriation for the
army. The consideration of all
other subjects of legislation will be
postponed until the Decepber seS-
sion. If, therefore, it is the desire
of members of Congress, from States
in which elections are TO take place
next month. to return home and
n.rt;cipate in the political cam
naign. they can do so by simply
passing an army appropriation BILL
or by agreeing to resolution allow
ing the army to be paid on the ba-
Sis of last years appropriation
until a regular bill is passed
The Senate, in addition to the ap-
preparation bill, will be called
upon to consider some important
nominations which the President
will send to it soon after its assem-
bling. This, however, can easily be
considered while the House is af-
fecting its organization and passing
an army appropriation bill, which
must originate in the lower branch.
An Executive communication,
prepared by the Secretary of State,
will be transmitted to Congress,
recommending the creation of a
commission to represent the United
States at the Paris Exposition.
The plan proposed is the appoint
ment of commissioner-general and. a
suitable number of assistants. An
appropriation to secure the proper
representation of the United States
will be asked for, and it Is estima-
ted that 100000 will be the
amount required. Recent letters
frog Europe bring the information
that Great Britain will be the Prlln-
cipal exhibitor. Russia and Turkey
owing to the war, will not partiei
pate, Germany and Austria, for 9th
er reasons, will also fail to be repre-
sented. Congress will be urged to
take immediate action, in order that
the, question may be settledI def
nitely, and if settled favorably,s that
as much time as possible may be
given for American manufacturers
to prepare their exhibits. ssaaa l

The labor strikes of England are
prolific of a rather sad experience in
that land. 1t seems that nearly all
branches OF industry there are suf-
fering from extreme dullness and a
reduction of wages was accordingly
made in several cases. First the
stone masens of London struck; they
had been receiving pence per hour
and wanted 10 pence; they are still
out, the advance having been made
in a few cases only. The coal miners
in the several districts, to the num-
Der of $4,000, are still out fighting
against a reduction of 5 per cent.
The strike also of carpenters ship
builders, and cott6n-spinners make a
sad picture, and shows a depression
in business that this country from all
It's dullness of'trade has not yet seen.

The great hall of Cooper Institute
was filed, on the evening of the 10th,
by the substantial business men of
the city, for the purpose of endors-
ing the course of President Hayes,
and rather, to rebuke the course of
Mr.. ConkliDg and the Rochester
Convention. How Geo. W. Curtis
was Introduced, and the applause
that followed lasted a long time and
was very enthusiastic. He spoke
eloquently in support of the admin
istration and declared that the late
State Convention of New York mis-
represented the courage, patriotism
and principles of the Republican par
ty. He concluded as follows:
President Hayes stands on a plat
form of justice, Union, national fra
ternity, gold currency, and civil
service reform, and we stand by him.
1t is a platform of one plank, wide
as a continent, deep as the beating
of the American heart, and it bears
the legend, "He serves his party best
who serves his country WE'LL"

A desperate fight took place on
Sept. 3Oth, between United States
troops under General Miles and Nez
Perces Indians under Joseph. The
Federal troops lost % killed and A
wounded. They met and surprised
the Indian camp, capturing part of
their herd of about 600 horses,
mules and ponies. The fight took
place on Snake Greek, in the Vel
lowstone country. General Miles's
despatch of Oct. 8, says that the In
dians are closely invested in some
deep ravines and kept under con
slant fire. He says to attempt to
take them by assault would cost
MANY lives. He hopes to wear
them out and compel them to snr-
render. The Indians fight with
more than common desperation.

Zoo Much silver I'M the East.

q
The banks in this city, says the Philadel-
phia Ledger, are already feeling much in
convenience from the abundance of silver
currency. There have already heen aceu-
mulated in one of our banks of this un-
handy silver coin some $4,000, and the
amount coming in is steadily ON the in
crease, so that all have, or soon will have,
more of it thar. they can conveniently pay
out over their counters. 1t is believed
that parties at the far West interested in
silver production are engaged in forcing
this coin into circulation here. There is
profit IN it. The silver trade dollar, the
only one of that dissemination in circula
ton, is worth in gold 95@96 cents, while
the Government and bank note paper dol
lar is worth about 81 cents in gold 1t
viii be,seen from this that the silver dealer,
by exchanging his silver dollars even for
paper, by buying gold with his paper,
makes very handsome percentage Of pro-
fits-say to IL per cent. If this goes
on it will not be many months nor many
weeks ere this silver dollar coinage will, in
its rate of discount, be felt quite a burden
to carry. ia.-' ' -
