GOING FISHING,
The President Sees No Reason Why
He Should Stay Here,

ne SuOuAO stay Here.
The President is quietly arranging his
AFFAIRS 80 that he may be able to return to
Buzzard's Bay in very short time. His
health Is not of the best, and the climate
or Washington does not appear to be fay-
orable for speedy cure Of his rheumatic
troubles. He Is not Ill enough to take to
his bed. but Is run down to an extent that
renders rest desirable, II not altogether
necessary. He Is able to attend to all
routine matters. but is not sufficiently
strong to stand a rush of visitors, espe-
ciaiiy those importunate seekers for office
He remained secluded at his country home

nothing Is known of his plans for the i'm

directed the members Of the cabinet to
bring me the nominations of all men APP

THE ALLEGED PROPOSITION.
Senators of Both Parties Generally
Opposed to 1t.


A new phase of the silver question was
presented to the attention Of members Of
Congress today in the shape of an appar-
emily authorized proposition from London
bankers, backed by the English govern
ment, to leading New York nnanciers, in
which 1t was asserted that II the United
States would maintain the present Sherman
law on tn statue books England would
renew the free coinage Of silver in India at
the increased ratio of "a to l.
produce a single Senator who ever heard
the idea suggested. and when the PROPOSE
ton was unfolded it was seen that most
of the silver and anti-silver advocates were
opposed to it. Coming. as it does. from
English source" said Senator Teller 1.-THE
p prsside1t might very naturally be ex.
prevail" However, he did not credit the
story. although he fully believed that the
situation in England and India was desper-
ate.
Senator Stewart. another friend Of sill
YER utterly repudiated such a compromise.
he characterized II as a very adroit scheme
Of the gold bugs With free coinage Of sill
yer at "a to he thought the English would
issue their India consul bills and hammer
the price OF silver down to that point all
over the world. This was equivalent to
- cents an ounce. and miners could not
handle the ore at that price. Mr.. Stewart
was opposed TO any such proposition and
said he would fight for the Sherman Jaw
until he got something better.
oSndtOT Mills 5dlU ne knew nothing or the
proposition. and II he did he would not dis
cuss It, inasmuch as he persistently de-
clined to talk about financial matters
Senator Voorhees, was equally non- commit
tai but believed that Congress could dis
pose OF the financial problem with which
1t was confronted without aid or sugges-
lions from abroad.
Senator Sherman said he knew nothing
Of the matter beyond what he had read in
the papers; they appeared to him to be
nothing tangible. No name of any reputa-
Bile bank was mentioned and there was
nothing definite to indicate that such a
proposition had or would be made. He
was rather inclined to scout at the idea
conveyed. but it was not the time to dis
cuss the merits Of a possible proposition
along these lines. The first duty of this
Congress was. he said. to repeal the pur-
chasing clause of the act OF July, 1890.
Senator Aldrieh did not believe that there
was any foundation for the story and in
the second place did not think II feasible
While the restoration of free coinage in
India might improve the condition OF sill
yer slightly throughout the world Mr..
Aldrich failed to see how there could be
any permanent good arising therefrom for
the United States

An experiment is being tried this summer
which will be watched with unusual inter-
est by those who are conversant with It
A year and a half ago q club was organ
side of New York city. The genesis of this
club was due to the fact borne with ire
mendous force into the mind of an observer,
of the heavy monotony of the lives Of the
1t was impossible for them to have any di-
version that cost money. Their rooms
were SO small and crowded that there was
opportunity for no social life, even in the
immediate family.
1t is no uncommon thing to find a woman
who for weeks at time does NOT go down
to the street level. her nights and days
being spent within the walls of the rooms
that she calls home. Others are found who
never own bonnets, because the extent of
their migrations is to the front door step.
Is it any wonder that some grow duh or
stupid or irritable under these conditions?
Women's clubs. 1t has been said over and
over again, have been means of education
and development to those who have every
social opportunity, and who have had edu-
cational opportunities as we'll 1t was
deemed wise to try the experiment OF a wo-
mans club for such as had neither, and
SO one was organized. The dues were placed
at 10 cents per week. This paid for the
cake and coffee. that were always part OF
the entertainment and left a margin be-
sides.
AT first no attempt was made beyond the
purely social end for which the club was es-
tablished. Quite frankly it was said: This
club is organized to try to set You out of
your home once a week, because we believe
that to break in on the monotony of Your
lives. to meet different people. to have this
little diversion, will make you better wives
and mothers" 1t is not necessary to 80
into the history of the last year and a hall.
but certain it is that the results have ,us-
titled the belief that a woman's club of a
social character, established among the
wives OF workingmen. would make happier

thousand voices. DR.. Woodman extended
an invitation to all who can sing and
are DESTROYS OF participating in the chorus, re-
siding east OF the Capitol and south of c street
northeast, to attend the rehearsal next Wednes-
DAY evening or to send the name and address

Tomorrow evening the northeast division,

good attendance is anticipated. Miss Mar
gurits Storm has been selected % secretary for
this division.
The Probable Program.
While the matter has not definitely been de-
termined upon by the Music committee, it has
been suggested that tbs numbers to be sung on
the occasion Of the Capitol corner stone
centennial by the grand chorus shall
be Dudley Bucks Festival, Te
Deum, in E fat: Home. Sweet Home,
the Star Spangled Banner. America, The
Heavens Are Telling. from the Creation; Cor
onatlon and Hail Columbia. There will prob
ably be but four selections for the chorus in
the program for the afternoon exercises, and
the remaining numbers will be sung at the en-
tertainment to be given at night
In addition to the chorus there will be the
Marine Band, augmented probably to one hum
dred performers and led by Prof. Fanciulli,
which will furnish the Accomplishments to the
vocal numbers. and will give several in
strumehtal selections. At night il is expected
the famous anvil chorus from III Trovatore
will be given with fremen in uniform at the
anvils, and with the artillery accompani-
ment, which will be decided novelty in this
CITY, but with which Prof. Fanciulli was
familiar when he WAS associated with the late
p. s. Gilmore.
Prof. Fancuilli has nearly completed a can
tsta which is an allegorical representation OF
the history and development OF the United
States from the close Of the revolution to the
present time.
We're there more time this composition would
probably be sung by the grand chorus. but as
that Is not possible now it is likely that the
cantata will be produced with q chorus Of two
hundred in Convention Hall
