In the House.

The Noyes vs.. Rockwell election contest,
from New York, and appropriation bills
will be the principal subjects of interest in
the House during the coming week.
Tomorrow is suspension day and the
speaker will give Chairman McRae of the
public lands committee an opportunity to
pass by two-tnirds vote the modified
swamp lands bill. One or more other
measures may also be given opportunity for
passage under suspension of the rules though
it is deslred to pass the naval appropriation
bill as speedily as possible and a consider
able part of Mondays session may be de-
voted to it.

THE ELECTION CASE.

Mr.. O'Ferrall, chairman of the House
elections committee, has given notice that
he will call up the Noyes-R election
contest on Tuesday. The leaders in this
contest desire that five hours shall be allowed
each side for debate, but as this would mean
the consumption of three days in considera-
tion and action, the speaker and his
associates on the rules committee prefer
that an arrangement should be reached
limiting the debate to four hours on
q side, thus making it possible to dispose Of
the contest in two legislative days. The
debate will be spirited, and as public atten-
tion has been attracted to the case TO an un-
usual extent, it is not unlikely that it will
be found impracticable to reach vote in
less than three days.
The appropriation bills will then he taken
up again and the programme is for the
sundry civil bill to follow the naval bill

A CONVERSION THAT Is CAUSING
OTHERS

WIN. p. St. John, President of the
Mercantile National Bank of New
York City, was formerly "gold bug"
that is to say, a man who entertained
the opinion that the act Of 1878 which
provided for moderate coinage of
the standard silver dollar, was an act
dishonest in inception and vicious in
its tendencies As he said himself
at dinner of the Chicago Bankers
Club, February 9Th, 1892, "as re-
GENTLY as 1888, the proposal to afford
equal access to the United States
minis for gold and silver on our pres
ent money standard would have been
Stunned by me as henously offensive.
And yet, against all pride of preoon>
ceived opinion, the painstaking re
search of eight wears has impelled me
finally to the Numerically opposite
conclusion
$50 that without interest in silver
or silver mines, with genuine abhor-
renee of dishonest dollars and with
every care to earn reputo for a1vocat-
ing what shall be demonstrated
strictly sound finance l earnestly
commend the enactment of the meas
ure now awaiting action in the House
Of Representatives and recently mis-.
termed free silver"
"lt seems conservative" added Mr..
St. John, "to call halt upon senses
less ins,igations to public alarm and
panic at the approach of legislation
that ought not to be delayed.
IA United States Senator, among
the weal.hiest of Americans, is reputed
eager to solicit the popular vote for
President on a platform demanding
liberal issues of legal tender paper
without adequate provision for coin
redemptions. That proposal is the
one alternative likely Of enactment, if
antagonism to the measure pending
aud commented shall disintegrate
the forces now combinedly demanding
equal access to our coinage minis for
gold and silver"
Mr.. St. John may therefore be con-
sidered comparatively recent con-
vert to the silver cause. His high
standing as leading 6nancier gives
much weigh. to his opinions; and un.
der his leadership many of the hith.
erto incorporating enemies of silver
are rapidly coming to our way of
thinking.

THE BALL.

Such crowded ballroom was never
seen here as last nights. There were
16 sets on the floor at one time, and
there seemed to be quito as many
"wall fowers' as before the sets were
formed. Nor was any time los. be-
tween dances, either, one following
rapidly after the other.
The affair was therefore 4 most
thorough success, and Miss French,
who worked SO arduously and at
tended to tho details Of manag g ment,
certainly deserves q great deal OF
credit. Yet she claims mono. In
fact, she gives all the credit to the
ladies and gentlemen who assisted
her, and at her request and in behalf
of the beneficiary, the TIMES returns
her heartfelt thanks to the public
and participants for all they did
which was enough. "They could have
done no more," says Miss French.
