senator DJipn, Oregon, the only
Pacific slope senator IN the city said
thiH morning: al am opposed 10 my
colleagues you know, on tne subject OF
fires coinage and Am in favor OF main
tanning all the currency on par with
gold, but n seems TO me
that this action Of tho In
dian government will diminish In.
stead Of Increase the prospect Of pass-
Ing the repeal Of the sherman law by
the Senate. thiuk the effect Will be 10
make the thoughtful membcts Of Con-
gresa hesitate before they depreciate
all silver by suddenly throwing upon
the market OF the world 100000
ounces OF silver, equivalent
to nearly the whole American
product now purchased and stocked
10y tho government. i do not know
that anything better than the repeal o {
the Sherman act can be done to rs-
lieye the situation; but am fearful
that the repeal OF that act would be
disastrous 10 the finances Of the gov.

The senator further desired 10
correct published statement,
that he had Geid In substance
that Cleveland would not be able
90 command the presence Of Con.
gress ut a September session and that
Tor himself he should not come to
Washington until September 8Jlh. He
might have said that Congress should
not ON account OF the hot weather
be convened earlier than tins 80th Of
September, or that he did not expect
to tie In Washington TIL tho Goth, but
he said nothing indicating any Oppos-
ton 10 Cleveland or that he w0ul I
not be on hand whenever Congress
was called. He probably woull be a
better supporter OF Cleveland's hnan-
cial measures than n majority Of the
Democratic senators.
DISCUSSED IN tAliNkh
Although the discussion took
wide range, II was necessarily
brought back TO one important un.
manageable point that the Executive
had no power In the premises, Cou'
gtess alone being able 10 deal with
measures for relief. 10 was
plain 10 the cabinet that the monthly
purchase Of silver must be continued,
| OF Congress must be- convened In u
special session Immediately. As the
President has decided TO call Congress
together In the carly part Of September
TO deal with tho financial situation
and manifested no intention Of
changing his stated purpose, the
| project OF an earlier session OF
Congress, II In understood, was
dropped. AZ far ss the continuance OF
the purchase OF silver bullion and the
Sherman law are concerned II was
pointed out that little more than two
months remained before Congress
would convene In extra session and
that during the intervening time the
silver lots purchased would be
only 1900, 900 ounces, a comparatively
small amount In view OF the previous
purchases aud that the best way 10
deal with the question was to await
the course Of events two months
longer. This was generally agreed to
ami Il WAS with this view dominant
that tho meeting adjourned.
