The Democrats Not Certain of a
Quorum.
REPUBLICANS SUPRENELT HAPPY.
THE DEMOCRATS DETERMINED
TO HAVE A MAJORITY.
the Coinage of Trade Dollars

pendent says /: The Democrats don't
feel certain of a quorum by themselves
to-day, and will adjourn from day TO
day till they git it. As to the Repub
licans, they are happier than they have
been since Congress met. They are
conscious hat they have helped the
Democrats into a blunder. They have
stopped quarreling with the President,
and are getting ready TO appeal to the
country against the revolutionary at
tempt of their opponents TO reopen the
Presidential question.
The Tribune'S correspondent says
the fact that although the Democrats
have a majority of the members of the
present House, the Republicans have
a majority of the State delegations, has,
it is known, caused a good lea OF con-
Germ to the Democratic leaders. If, as
a result of the one-sided Investigation
which they propose, they should uu-
dertake to declare that Hayes does not
r%igh,fully hold the Presidency, and
should therefore undertake to elect a
President in his place, the Republicans
i would have the advantage, and would
certainly choose Hayes or some other
Republican. The Democrats are de-
termiRed, therefore, not only to have a
majority in the next House, but also a
majority of the State delegations.

| resolution of the 10th instant, a state
ment of the circumstance under which

MINIS for coinage into trade dollars was

no general interest. 1t consists of a
letter from DR.. Linderman, Director OF
the Mint, who reports that the coinage
of trade dollars was suspended for the
reason that the coinage was liz excess
of the demand for export, and also for
the reason that owing to a decline in
the price of silver, and appreciation OF
United States notes, trade dollars were
being placed in domestic circulation
contrary to the intention of the law
authorizing their coinage.

There is No Mystery about n
Cimbria.
NEW YORK, May IA.
A Herald reporter has interviewed
a Russian officer in this city. He said
Where is no mystery about the Chm
bria. / came here with the authorize
ton to build or purchase any vessel
may deem suitable for our navy. i
am personally in favor of having much
of our work done in this country, be.
cause it is quite as good, if not better,
than we can get in Europe. And again,
we have the advantage of having it
executed by a friendly nation that has
always shown a kind disposition to-
ward US. We have chartered nc ves-
sells and do not want to charter any.
We are not going to fit out any priva.
| teers, and when III cruisers leave an
American port they will leave under
the Russian flag, and not under the
German.
