EVERYBODY WILL BE HAPPY.
A Day Expected to Bring Forth Great
Financial Relief.

A Day Expected to Bring Forth Great
Financial Relief.
New York, Dec. 14.-The Herald says
The man who is not happy after tomor-
row is hopeless case. This phrase is a
fair sample of the sentiment of the solid
men who frequented the corridors of the
Windsor hotel last night. Some
of them were railroad magnates who
are here to attend the great meeting at
the house of j. Pierpont Morgan today,
but goodly number were men whose
feelings are not apt to get the better of
them. Whether this note of hopeful
ness was due more to the proximity of
London gold than to the visit of Secre-
tary Window would be difficult to de-
eide, but it is pretty safe to assume that
both these favoring auspices had much
to do with the changed aspect of the
future.
1t was said on the very best authority
that when Secretary Window left for
Washington yesterday, it was under
stood that immediate steps would be
taken by the government to carry out
suggestions for the purchase of
100000 ounces of bullion now
af1oat in the country, in addition to the
regular monthly purchase of 4,500, 900
ounces. 1t was also intended to procure
for the secretary power to buy more silver,
and to issue notes for these purchases
to the amount of 81 5000 month,
the amount of the monthly retirement
of national bank notes. OF course, it is
pretty generally agreed that the surplus
of silver bullion afioat is much in excess
of 100000 ounces, but the purchase
of this amount by the government will,
it is believed, very materially assist to
relieve the stringency.
The meeting today at the residence of
of Mr.. Morgan will be devoted princi-
pally to an informal talk over the pre-
liminary agreement. 1t is asserted that
no decisive steps to ratify this, will be
taken until after the holidays. There
is likely, however, to be hitch in the
proceedings, owing to the dislike of the
Chicago and Northwestern directors to
the arbitration clause in the prelimin-
ary agreement.

SUGAR FROM SORGHUM.
Successful Experiments Made by the
Department Of Agriculture.


Department Of Agriculture.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-The annual
report of the chief of the chemical divi-
sion of the agricultural department
contains an account of process recently
perfected at the department, as the re-
suit of experiments in the chemical
laboratory with reference to the manu-
facture of sorghum sugar. The report
of the chemist recites some of the vari-
GUS difficulties hitherto found in the
sorghum, and indicates that the solution
Of the question will be found in some
process which would separate as nearly
as possible the gummy amorphous
bodies from the Juice without precipi-
tating the sugar.
The known property of alcohol to pro-
duce precipitation in juice was made
use OF in the further study of this prob
lem. Not only has the removal
OF the gums been effected by the process
evolved during these experiments, but
it has been shown that this can be
effected at cost comparatively trifing
by comparison with the results obtained.
The article used in precipitation can be
almost wholly recovered by subsequent
distillation. Another feature is that the
gummy substance separated by the pro-
cess is itself fermentable, yielding
almost half its weight in alcohol. In
order that the new method may become
possible, the report suggests the neces-
sity for the modification of the revenue
laws so as to allow the preparation OF
alcohol used in the process, to be car
ried on without tax, to be made under
bond by the manufacturer that it be
used only for this purpose.
The chemist claims substantially an
increase in the yield of sugar per thou
sand gallons of juice of from an average
OF 10000 pounds to an average of over
2l,997, at increase of cost of production OF
$S4 for the alcohol which enters into the
new process.

A Free Coinage Bill Will Possibly Be

Associated Press Dispatches.
CHICAGO, Dec. 14.-A special dispatch
from Washington to the Times says
An official holding a high position in
the treasury department, who does not
care to be quoted, is authority
for the statement that President
Harrison will tomorrow send to
congress special message on the silver
question. In this message it is said he
will advise the passage of bill provid-
ing for the issue of additional currency,
having for its basis the increased pur-
chase of silver.
1t is stated on unquestioned authority,
that the president has actually drafted a
message, and in fact submitted it to his
advisors at the last meeting of the cabi-
net, but the silver senators are of the
opinion that the message will not 60
to congress until after another cabinet
meeting.
Since the opening of congress, the
senators interested in the purchase by
the government OF the silver output OF
the west, have labored with the presi-
dent to induce him to take the action
here outlined. The friends of the force
Dill have been particularly interested tor
the reason, that as long as the silver
question remains open. just so long the
danger will confront them that the
Democrats in the senate may unite with
the silver men in trade" or "deal'
by which the passage of the liberal
silver measure, and the death of the force
bill would be accomplished at one and
the same time.
There is general understanding that
when the proper time arrives the DEM
ocratic senators will offer what will be
equivalent to silver amendment, or
substitute. for the force bill, which will
in effect provide for the free
coinage of silver. Senator Hoar,
who is recognized as the pilot
of the force bill, has already been at
some pains to state that President Har-
rison will under no circumstances sign
a free coinage bill. Senator Stan
ford, Senator Teller and one
or two more have replied, how
ever, that the issue may be left
with the president, after the senate has
passed the bill All their constituents
ask is that they shall vote for free
silver, and the responsibility of the veto
will rest solely with the chief executive.
