CLEvELAND's HEALTH.
Grover Is Gaining Strength and
VigOP.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-"There is nc
truth whatever in the report that the
president is suffering from some organic
disease" said Private Secretary Thur
ber this evening.
''When he left Washington it was un-
der the advice of those VINO take great
personal interest in his welfare, simply
because he wanted the recuperatiOn
which his arduouS duties of the past
SIX months had made necessary, and to
fit him to again assume the eXacting
cares of his official position"
Mr.. Thurber added that the rest the
president needs is simply what any
man, however vigorous, most require
when overtaxed. Mr.. Thurber received
a letter yesterday from the president in
which he stated that he was rapidly
gaining strength and vigor.
Assistant Secretary Hamlin, who has
just returned from visit to the presi-
dent at Buzzard's Bay, told reporter
that he looked well, very well indeed,
and gave no indication of being ILL.,"
The presidents return to Washington
about Sept. will effectually dispose OF
all rumor as to his health.
Secretary Lamont, who was also quite
recently in the presidents society, said:
"These stories are absolutely baseless.
The president is as sound as any one,
but like everybody else, he needs rest
occasionally. His physicians have said
that he has no organic trouble of any
kind

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-This after
noon at the meeting of the exeeu-
tive committee of the anti-silver
men IN the house the final
figures were presented of the poll of
the members on the questions contained
IN the bills now pending. One of the
members stated that if the friends of
free coinage could concentrate their
whole strength upon any one of the
ratios, the majority against it would be
thirty-eight. But as this was conceded
to be impracticable. there being some
who will vote in favor of retaining the
present ratio of IL to who will not sup
port change to 20 to l, and some who
will vote for 90 to who will oppose l6
to 1, the majority against either one
will be upward of fifty. When 1t comes
to the naked question of repeal or no
repeal, as presented in the Wilson bill,
the member stated that the majority in
favor of its passage will be at least
seVenty-live.

HAGER'S POSITION.
Iowa Member ofthe Coinage Com
mittee interviewed


WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-rhe coinage
committee is pretty closely divided be-
tween the hard money men and the ad-
vocates of free coinage. MIR. Hager, OF
Iowa, and Judge Kilgore, of Texas, will
hold the balance of power, and their
two votes would give majority Of one
against free coinage There was a goOd
deal OF curiosity this morning at the
attitude Of MIR. Hager, as he is a new
member from a state where opinion on
the coinage question is divided. The
opinions OF the old members of the COM
mittee are pretty well known from their
action i'll the last congress. or the local
tiles which they represent.
Mr.. Hager was perfectly frank in ex-
pressing his views. He said: 81 shall
not vote for either Ut the substitute
propositions which are now before the
house, and shall aot vote for uncon-
ditional repeal Of the Sherman law I
am in favor of the wide use of silver by
all nations. but think the ratio should
be higher than i'll any Of the substitutes
proposed, and l recognize that il would
be difficult just at present to fix steady
ratio. | do not think, however, that the
United States should abandon one of the
two metals which it so largely produces.
| am in favor of the use of both metals.''
But do you not think" was asked,
''that we should bring about interna-
tional bimetalliSm sooner by putting
ourselves on gold basis?"
NO" was the reply, Il never could
understand thar argument [ do not
see how we could help silver by de-
grading and abandoning it. and then
expecting other nations to restore its
use as money metal. l am in favor of
an international agreement, but | do
not think that is the way to obtain it,"

HALL Is SOUND.
The Third District Member Talks
on Silver.


Special to the Globe
WASHINGTON, Aug. 23. Congress
man Hall, of the Third district, deliy-
cred an able speech i'll behalf of uncon-
ditional repeal this evening. The fact
that he was TO speak became known
during the day, and he had the encour-
agement of packed galleries and a
larger attendance than usual. After
paying his regards to Grosvenor, of
Ohio, and Hepburn, of Iowa, who have
endeayored to throw the blame for the
present condition of the country upon
fear of tariff revision, Mr.. Hall took up
the question and in mastery manner
described the workings of the Sherman
act. He declared that the question is
not whether we shall have free coinage
of silver, for that is impossible, but
whether we shall issue bonds and pur-
chase gold with which to maintain the
parity of the two metals, He declared
his faith in bimetallism, that he be-
lieyed in the use of both gold and silver
as money, but that it is impossible TO
have TWO standards of value. The low
rates at which money can be had in
Europe ne showed to be due to the fact
that the leaders had confidence of
securing the payment of as good
money as they loaned. Furnish
proof that we will do the same thing in
this country, and there will be all
abundance of cheap money at once of
good, not debased, money at low rates
of interest. In the present conflict, Mr..
Hall declared, the country is brought
face to face with the problem whether
we shall continue as we have since 1879
upon a gold basis, or whether we shall
Mexicanize our currency and sink to a
silver basis. On gold basis bmetallism
can be maintained; silver can be pro-
duced as part of our money. On sill
yer basis we drive gold out of the coun-
try. The Third district member had the
attention of the house and the large
! audience, and was literally applauded
when he concluded.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-A genuine
Minnesota blizzard swooped down upon
Commissioner Lochren today in the
person of the crratlc and somewhat cele-
brated Mrs. NJ. ]. Blaisdell, of Pelican
Rapids. She has for some years been
getting $50 month pension for her
husband, on account of disability
claimed to have been incurred in the
service. Recently the pension was Sus-
pended and further evidence demanded.
This, Mrs. Blaisdell claims, she can
furnish. She went to Congressman
Boen for aid and has donned war pant
and feathers for fight. In the case of
her husband there seems to be some
difficulty in establishing a case, as it
took the combined influence of VIM
dom, DunnelI and Strait to get him
on the rolls in the first place. He1s
clearly entitled to S12 month under
the act OF 1879, ana will probably be re
dueed to that,

LOOK OUT FOR A FLOOD.
A Note Of Warning to People Along the
Truokaa.

The Truckee Republican says it does
not like to predict disasters, but the
chances are that the Trnckee river will
be flooded, in the near future, so as to
do great damage. Tahoe ia now within
four inches OF tho high water mark OF
last July. The gates are wide open but the
lake continues to raise steadily and the
waters will get higher and higher for
ten weeks to come. There is an en-
ormous body Of snow on the surround
ling mountains, ranging frem four to six
feet deep in most places. The mount
aims surrounding the entire Truckee
basin are similarly covered, and nothing
can prevent unusually high water, when
the snow melts. If it goes off with a
rush every dam on the river will be
imperiled, and many of the bridges. will
be in danger. Bonner Creek bridge is
almost sure to 60. Its approaches are
low, and the bridge is old and weak.
Milln,en and ice companies would do
we'll 10 strengthen their dams and take
ali possible p%recaution. The floods are
almost certain for the ground is
thoroughly saturated and a rain storm
or warm weather will bring an immense
body Of water down every hillside, ravipe
and stream.
