WAsniNGroN, August The
house has been called to order. The
presidents proclamation has been
read, and call of names of mem.
bers-elect is now in progress.
1t is unlikely that the presidents
message will be sent to congress to-
day, but unless some unforeseen
hitch should occur in the organiza-
ton of either the house or senate it
will probably go in at noon tomor-
row.
1t is learned that the message
will not be more than column and
a half in length, and that it recon.
mends the unconditional repeal of
the Sherman act. Pro-silver Dem.
ocrats express themselves az agree
ably surprised at what they under
stand to be a moderation of the
presidents recommendations. They
are informed that he recommends
the unconditional repeal of
the Sherman act. He, how.
ever, recognizes that silver
is one of the money metals of this
country which must be maintained,
but points out that with the present
attitude of European countries, the
proper ratio between gold and sil.
yer cannot be maintained by this
country alone. Therefore he does
not favor the coinage of silver under
present conditions except for sub
sidiary purposes. He inksEuropean
natious who are now depressing the
price of silver can, by suspension
of it's coinage in this country except
for subsidiary purposes, be coerced
into an international agreement
more favorable than we have here
tofore had. He is in favor @ f silver
on a parity with gold, and stands by
the platform of 1892, but says, that
the platform cannot be carried out
for the reason that a fixed parity
cannot DE attained
Prominent leaders of both wings
of the Democratic party have had
conveyed to them the impression
that these are substantially the
views the president will express.
Mr.. Bourke Cochran, of New
York, and Mr.. Bynum, of Indiana,
are to be leaders of the antisilver
forces of the Democratic side Of
the floor of the house.
1t is stated that the distinguished
Tammany orator, at the suggestion
of MIR. Cleveland himself, has de-
voted his spare time during the
summer to the study of the question
in all its phases. Day before yes
terday Mr.. Cochran went to MIR.
Culbersop, of Texas, and Mr..
Bland, of Missouri, and stated tina,
the anti silver men were willing tc
start in with the discussion of the
silver question on the second day Of
the session without referring it OF
waiting for a consideration or report
from any committee. The underly
ing motive of this suggestion is said
to be the fear on Mr.. Cochran
part that Speaker Crisp will give
the silver men a majority on thu
coinage committee. He urgec
upon the silver leaders til at to wal
for committee report woult
delay action; that it would be a
least twa weeks, and probably three
before any committees would be an
{ nounced. Mr.. Culberson told Mr.
Cochran that he would not agree t.
his proposition; that he believed thu
f silver men could get their views be
/. fore the country in a very mucl
t better shape if they were embodied
e in report from a majority of tn
? committee on coinage.
Mr.. Cochran said that he wa
i willing to jump into the middle o
q the discussion at once, that h
d would agree there should be nj
i closure and that every man shoul'
i say everything he hal to say on tn
f subject of silver without interrur
lt;or and that at the end of the dii
