., consideration Of the silver
a,II-yeto Not Yet Determined
ou-Fiyhiing over Hayes
Nominations.

WASHINGTON, February 26.-The Sem
N executive session, rejected the
s.s, atom of William +. Wheeler, Of
gsIens Montana, for re-appointmert Us
lated States Msrshsl for that rerrl'oIy.
Sno Sansts discussed for two hours the
.r,i,s,ion of Lewis Z. Parsons TOR
Toi,sd States Attorney tor the Northern
~ Middle districts of Alabama. The
,nsin ground of opposition appears to be
tbat Parsons was connected with Ben.
J,cley in sn alleged fraudulent cotton
lam. In reply, it is ssid that ne only
s,rned the case after all the proc had
bsen presented. 1t is reported that
Conkling and Edmunds spoke against
h. confirmation, and Matthews and
vo-csn in its favor. 1t went over rs
unfinished business.
Cabinet Meeting.
To-dsy's Cabinet session was one OF
,,rest interess, as it was devoted to some
extent TO discussing the trials in New
Orleans, and also TO an interchange of
views on the subject of the silver bill.
Iron the topic of the sentence of Cen
er,l Anderson, il is understood that very
decided opinions were expressed TO the
effect that an lnterferference OF the Gov
erpor of Louisiana IN favor OF Andar-
son should not be- withheld. So far as
can be learned, 10 communications have
been sent from any representative OF the
general government TO the Executive OF
louisiana but 1t was remarked
today by an official holding
close relations with the administration in
tbs matter, that there was neither indlf-
ference nor inactivity on the part OF the
President. 1t seems probable that the
government awaits further proceedings
IN the New Orleans Court before enter
ing into the subject. From this point
the general impression is that Governor
Nichols ought to and will interfere.
The members of the Csbinet are un-
usually reticent regarding the tenor of
the DISCUSSION on the silver bill or as 10
tie probable results. There Is, however,
ground fer believing that the President
viii, iu day or two, address message
10 Congress in connection with the b'll
nlw awaiting his action. Whether
this will be veto message
or not is matter of conjecture.
There can be obtained no official author
i.y Tor any declaration in the premises.
II Is 10 secret that the views OF the
Cabinet were T. OF n unit on the subject OF
vbs, sction should be taken. There is
4 PROBABILITY that the discussion will be
renewed on Friday, unless in the mean
time q special meeting be called TO deter
nine the subject. 1t is said Ms certainly
thst the bill will either be signed or ve-
,oed, and tina. there is no probability
Whatever that it will become law by
the expiration Of ten days.
Ewing Financial Measure.
Tne House Banking and Currency
Committee this morning considered the
proposition offered by Mr.. Ewing, to
snend the bill providing for the substl-
tuition o! Treasury notes for National |
b,lk notes by inserting section
which would make Treasury notes
interchangeable with green backs, and |
providing also that greenbacks shall be |
re-!ssued TO iuil former amount OF SiOO, |
10000. After long discussion, this pro-
position was rejected, receiving only |
three votes.
