Nearing O Close.

The great silver debate in the lower
house Of Congress Is nearing a close
and the probabilities are that vote
will be reached this week or the early
part Of next. The speeches thus far
have, in most instances, been delivered
by new members, the older ones eth
er preferring not to speak or are
waiting until the last, so as to get the
division of the house on the on the
pending measures pretty well fixed.
There has been but little interest dis.
played by the members in the speeches
so far, Notwithstanding the country 10
profoundly interested from ocean to
ocean. The attendance has been, with
q few exceptions, small, not more than
one-half of the house has been in at
tendance at any one time. There has
been but few illusions made to the
Presidents message, and he has been
shown a great deal Of consideration
regarding the attitude assumed with
reference to silver.
What the final outcome will be, no
one is safe in predicting. At present
there seems to be absolutely no hope
for defeating unconditional repeal in
the House, and the silver men all base
their strongest hope for the salvation
of silver coinage, in the Senate. In
that body Senator Voorhees, has, by
his detection from the cause, struck q
more or less serious blow TO the white
metal.

determination OF the club on no account
to divert any part of this fund from the
purposes for which from the beginning it
has been intended. There can be no
doubt that "A sound and permanent finan-
cial basis is essential To the success of
the club and i have great satisfaction in
feeling that in this matter the officers
have the cordial concurrence in opinion
OF every member.
"The regular exhibitions during the
year have been replaced by special exhibit
tions OF loan collections or of the work OF
individual artists. This seems TO be i'm rp-
sponse to the opinion of those interested,
aud so far the plan has proved a success.
The expense has been less In comparison
and the attendance greater. 1t will be
better, perhaps, as for the past two years
