The CABINET MEETING TO-pAY.-Secretary
thompson was absent from the Cabiue1 meet
ing this afternoon. The Cabinet was in session
ABOUT an hour and half. A good portion OF
lhe tine was consumed in discussion of re-
sumption and the financial condition Ot the
country. The universal opinion on these sub
jects was one OF satisfaction. II was thought
mat there would be nothing to seriously Oppo5e
The success Of resumption, and that il MIGHT be
considered an assured fact.
THE GREFNBACKERS Will open a bureau in
this city. Mr.. f. p. Devices of Pottsville. Pa.
mas been elected permanent chairman OF the
national executive committee OF the Oarty and
Is going TO take up his residence in this city and
establish the headquarters here.
THE FOLLOWING ADDITIONAL RESOLUTION was
adopted by the conference OF the national or
gfeenback party at last nights session:

tlat IN all states where the national party is
not now organized or represented on the nation
al commlttee; convention be held at the

ZatiOn and appointing some proper person ia
represent such state on said committee
NO OBSTACLE TO BE THROWN IN THE WAY OF
REsUMrTIoN.-The House committee on bank
ing and currency held a meeting to-day and
decided that when the Senate bill amending
I he House bill for the repeal of the RESUMPTION
law IS reached on the House calendar. to
move itS reference to the banking and currency
committee. There was quite a running discuS-
sion on the financial question which deyeIOned
that the committee has no intention to recon-
mend any legislation to impede resumption. Gen.
Ewing said il would not avail anvthinu and
would look malicious. He said that if Secretary
sherman could bring about reSumptiOn and
good times he didn't want to stand in the Way
although he firmly believed he could not brine
about either.
The ONLY REFERENCE TO THE CHINESE CUES
TIoN inthe Presidents message is the following:
"After an interval Of several years. the Chinese
Government has again sent ENJOYS to the Uni

permanent legation Is now established here by
