INTERVIEWS WITH OTHERS.

| ST. LOUIS, MO, June 2S.-COngreSS
man Bland, the great advocate of silver
is here reviewing the silver question al
to its effect by the act of the Indiar
government.
"Heroic measures will be required or
the part of this government for the
RECOMMENDATION of silver. Most emDha
tically l do not think it is knockout
for silver in this country. On the con-
trary | think if congress does not adopt
some measure looking to bi-metallic
standard it will make the battle OF
standards the coming issue in this
country. This battle will disrupt the
political parties and cause the contest
between the commercial centers and
agricultural districts of the country.
Free coinage of silver is demanded
by laboring classes and this is what free
silver men will now demand of con-
gress."
WASHINGTON, June 2S.-One effect OF
the action of the government of India
has been to renew the demand for An
early session of congress. THIS view
was presented to Secretary Carli-le this
morning by many of his congressional
callers and numerous kilograms from all
sections of the country. Before going
into the cabinet CARTS e received tel
egram from London announcing the
further decline in the price of silver to
30 pence. At this price a silver dollar
is worth 5S2l cents.
Senator Do,ph. of Oregon, the only
Pacific slope senator in the city, said
this morning: II am opposed to my
colleagues, you krow, On the subject of
free coinage and am In favor of main
tanning all currency on par with gold,
but it seems to NE this action of the
Indian government will diminish In
stead of Increase the prospect IF pass
ing the repeal of the Sherman law by
the senate. / think tne effect will be to
make thoughtful members of congress
hesitate before they further depreclate
tie value of silver by throwing upon
the markets of the world four million
i've hundred Thousand ounces or silver,
equivalent TO bearly the whole Amer
lean product now purchased and stored
by the government. L do not know
Of anything better than to repeal the
Sh-rman act. IL can be done To relieve
he situation, but | am fearful tie re-
peal of that act would be disastrous TO
the finances Of the government ard sill
YER"
The senator desired a corrt city pub
lished statement. He said in substance
& eveland would not be able TO COM
maid the presence of congress at spe
cial session, ard that for himself he
-hOuld not come 10 Washing ton priar t.
