The Cabinet session.

WAsHSaros, February 26.-Today's
Cabinet session was one Of great interest,
as it was devoted, to some extent, TO dis
cussing the trials In New Orleans, and,
also, In the interchange OF views on the
subject Of the Silver Bill. Upon the
topic OF the sentence Of General Ander-
son II il understood that very decided
opinions were expressed to the effect that
the interference OF the Governor OF
Louisiana in favor OF Anderson
should not be withheld. So. far as
can be learned, no communications
haze been sent from any representative
Of the General Government to the Ex.
ecutive OF Louisiana; but it was remark
ed to-day by an official holding olose
relations with the administration In this
matter, that there was neither inditier-
ence nor inactivity on the part Of the
the President. It seems probable that
the Government awaits further proceed.
ings in the New Orleans Court before
entering into the subject from this point.
The general impression Is that Governor
Nichols ought to and will interfere.
The members OF the Cabinet are unu.
sualIy reticent regarding the tenor OF the
discussion on the silver bill or Us TO the
probable results. There Is, however,
ground for believing that the President
will, in a day or two, address message
to Congress in connection with the bill
now awaiting his action. Whether this
will be veto Of the message or not is a
matter OF conjecture. There can be OBJ.
tained no official authority for any dec
laration In the premises. II Is no secret
that the views Of the Cabinet were not q
unit on the sub jsct Of wha, actionahould be
taken. THERE'S probability that the
discussion will be renewed Friday, .un-
Iess in the meantime . special meeting
should be called to determine the subject.
It is said as a certainty that the bill will
either be signed or vetoed, aud that
there Is no probability whatever that II
will become q law by the expiration Of
ten days.
