The outcome of the conference be
tween the Olcott Committee and the
State Debt Commission in Richmond,
hi; week, does not yet appear, as
tne strictest secrecy so far has been
al served in their deliberations, but
very patriot in Virginia, who has
thought of the matter, is hoping
through them for the solution of the
vexed question. Tie Olcott Com
mittee will have, however, to modify
their demands very much, if the an
nual interest charge according to
their plan would be 100000, as it is
believed, it would be. That amount
being about 100000 more than the
State is able or willing to pay, moth
ing of course is to be expected from
the conference, if such settlement
is insisted upon.

The Virginia Debt Commission and
the Olcott Committee met in con-
ference in the Governors Office in
the Capitol this morning. All the
members of the commission were
present as follows: Governor Nc
Kinney, chairman; Lieutenant Gov
ernor Tyler; Senators Berry, of Am
herst, and Wickham, OF Hanover;
Speaker Cardweil and delegates Dab

A sub committee, consisting of
Messrs. Olcott and Garden from the
Olcott committee, and Berry and
Dabnev, from the commission, was
appointed to consider some features
of the plan offered to-day and re-
port in the morning.
Before adjournment it was agreed
that strict secrecy should be observ-
cd and consequently none OF the
gentlemen will talk about what tram
spired to-day 1t is believed though,
and so stated by gentlemen not con-
nected with either the committee or
commission, but who stand pretty
close to. many of the members, that
the basis of the debt settlement &C
cording to the new plan is $4,000, 900,
exclusive of the s6,000,000 of coupons
outlawed under the Wickham amend
ment.
1t is said by the same authorities
that the basis of the plan offered in
June was $4,000. CCN, exclusive of the
same amount of coupons. The dis
agreement is believed to be over
these outlawed coupons. 1t is i'm
possible to predict tonight what the
outcome of the conference will be-

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION.
By the President of the United States.

~
1t is a very glad incident of the
marvellous prosperity which has
crowned the year now drawing to a
close that it's helpful and reassliring
touch has been felt by all our people.
Tt has been as wide as our country,
and so special that every home las
felt it's comforting influence. 1t is
too great to be the work of mans
power, and too particular to lie the
device of his mind. To God, the
Beneficent, and the All Wise. who
makes the labors of men to be fruit
full, redeems their losses by his Grace
and the measure of whose giving is
as much beyond the thoughts of man
as it is beyond his deserts, the praise
and gratitude of the people of this
favored nation arc Justly due.
Now thff11eefRers6l the enhjamin li Har
Of America, do hereby appoint Thurs
day, the Goth day of November pres
ent. to be IA day of joyful thanksgiv-
ing to God for the bounties of His
Providence, for the peace in which
we are permitted to enjoy them, and
for the preservation of those institu-
tions Of civil and religious liberty
which H. gave our fathers and ii e
wisdom to devise and establish, ami
us the courage to preserve. Among
the appropriate observances of the
day are rest from toll, worship in the
public congregation, the renewal of
family tics about our American fire
sides. and thoughtful helpfuluess to-
ward those who suffer lack of the
body or of the spirit.
In testimony whereof, have here
unto set my hand and caused the
seal of the United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington,
this 18th day of November in the
year of our Lord 1891, and of the in
dependence of the United States the
18th.

The four Republican members of
the Senate and House are being
urged to resign by their party lead
ers. They are reminded that If all
opposition to the Democrats is re-
moved that party will fight among
themselves and probably Il split might
occur ON some of the measures the
Alliance will demand. The Senator
and three delegates, however, do not
seem disposed to give up their seats.

exhibit at the Worlds Fair ut Chica-

appropriation to enable Virginia to

reasonable appropriation for this pur-

sources of Virginia. 1T is believed

forthcoming message to the General
Assembly.
