SUBSTANCE OF THE MESSAGE.
There is No Hint of Compromise in
Favor of Silver.

New YORK, August THE Woyld' S
Washington special says: The follow
! ing is an authoritative statement re-
garding President Cleveland's mes
sage:
He dwells most particularly upon
the deplorable condition of the country
as it effects the masses Bankers and
brokers and capitalists, he reasons, can
take care of themselves, but the work
ingmen are particularly helpless when
such condition of affairs as now pre-
walls exists.
To substantiate this statement he
shows in concise language the actual
effect of the law known as the Sherman
act now in force. He calls attention
to the dearth of confidence arising
therefrom.
He deals not in theories, but in facts,
to demonstrate the truth of his asser-
ton that the burden inflicted upon the
country by this unwise law falls most
heavily upon the workingmen. 1t is
for this reason he believes that the de-
mand of the country for repeal is so
strong and universal.
1t is the plain duty Of all patriotic
citizens entrusted with the responsible
| ity of government to heed such de-
mand; therefore he recommends un-
conditional repeal, without a hint Of
compromise or substitute of any kind.
There he stops Whatever may be
his views regarding the future of silver
as national currency, to be fixed pos
sibly by well considered legislation,
after a suitable time has elapsed, and
he makes no suggestions and outlines
no plan which might meet with his
approval.
He confines his recommendation
and directs the attention of Congress
solely to the pressing need of the hour
for prompt repeal. He notes the fact
that the people in the last elections
made an emphatic demand fer revision
and reform in tariff legislation.
The pledges then made must be
kept, but since that time an unforeseen
exigency has arisen, and it must be met
and mastered.
1t is the plain duty of Congress,
therefore, to afford relief to the coun-
try by placing the repeal of the fnan
cial statute ahead of all other contem-
plated legislation relating to the tariff
or any other subject. That is the
substance Of the message.

OUT OF THE WAY.
English Tories Were Given a Seriou:
Scare.

LONDON, August There was
considerable excitement among the
Conservative members at the opening
of to-day's session of the House OF
Commons. The report Of the stage OF
the home rule bill was reached at an
earlier hour than had been expected,
and Balfour, who had an important
amendment to offer to the bill, was not
present to submit it, The Conserva-
tives were exceedingly DESTROYS of hav-
ing the amendment submitted, and
George Battley, Conservative, requested
to be permitted to act as Bafour's sub
stitute in offering the amendment.
Speaker Peel ruled that at this stage
substitutes could not be allowed, and a
number of new clauses were then pro-
posed by members of the opposition,
but the speaker ruled them out on the
ground that due notice had not been
given of their submission. The
Unionists stood aghast as they saw the
report sweeping through with lightning
speed.
Their fright was allayed, however,
when James Park Smith Liberal
Unionist), after having eight new claus
es proposed by him ruled out, moved
that the boundary commission under
the bill be instructed to inquire as to
the better division of Irish electoral dis
tricts. Debate on the motion was
taken up, and this gave the opposition

MISSING FOR DAYS.
Strange Disappearance Of a Connecticut
Girl.

BRIDGEPORT Comm, August l.
Half of Bridgeport is hunting pretty
slxteen-year-old Anna Orr who dis.
appeared from her home on Holland
Heights on the night OF July 2oth
Bloodhounds have been turned loose
to scent her out, but even they were
not successful in tracing her. The
manner of the girls disappearance was
as dramatic as novelist ever dreamed
of. From happy frame of mind she
changed on the day of her disappear
anCe into terror stiCken creature.
Until week before she had been as
healthy and contended a lass as ever
breathed the pure air of the country.
On the night of her disappearance
she was sitting in the bedroom with her
sister Lizzie. Anna had removed her
skirts, when suddenly she seemed to be
in paroXysm of terror
"Lock the door," she pleaded
Don't you hear men coming? They
want to cut off my hair" passing her
hands through the long brown tresses
that fell over her shoulders.
Lizzie locked the door, gave the key
to Anna, and tried to soothe her.
Then the frightened girl asked Lizzie
to open the door again, saying: "The
men have gone now" Lizzie opened
the door and Anna sprang from the
bed and darted past her into the hall.
Out of the doors she sped, with her
sister in pursuit. The girls father saw
the flight and, together with Lizzie,
pursued the mad girl, but they saw her
disappear in the woods and all trace of
her was lost
All the neighbors took up the search
the next day, and it has been kept up
ever since. A woman who lives down
the road told Mr.. Orr the next day
that about II o'clock Saturday night
she heard woman moaning near her
house, and looking out she saw figure
in white walking slowly past
Cries were heard on Wednesday
night in swamp near Mr.. Osborne's
farm, which is three miles from Mr..
VII mouse. n party went tneIe ana
with lanterns made a search. AS they
penetrated the swamp the cries moved
away from them.
For three days the men beat around
the swamp, but found no trace of any
one. Then four bloodhounds, which
were muzzled so that they could not
bite, were released in the swamp, They
at first seemed to have picked up a
trail, but lost it shortly.
The swamp is full of thick brush,
and it would be hard to find any one
in it. Anna was strong, and having
been accustomed to country life her
physician says she could live in the
woods for three weeks on berries and
water.

his own prestige In the eyes of his ad-
mting Democratic and Mugwump
countrymen by pointing out the path
which Congress should follow, only to
find in the end that the deliberative
body has followed another course en-
tirely, and thereby administered to him
severe slap in the face. A general
message flied with financial wisdom Of
rather an indefinite nature would an
swer every purpose and save the chief
executive from making political
bunder Even the closest friends of
MIR. Cleveland in Congress do not look
for more, though, of course, they would
rather see him outline a policy to be
pursued, as it would save the necessity
Of originating plan of their own, and,
above all, the position of the admins.
tration would be made clear.
Mr.. Cleveland, however, has been
known to speak out boldly for this, and
in this case he may deceive even his
closest friends with a clear intimation
as to jus! what he expects Congress to
do and how to do it. In that case
many Democratic Congressman who
are not over friendly to him now would
take it as a piece of arrogance and
resent it as an insult to their superior
intelligence.
As many congressman view the case,
however, the Presidents message will
cut little figure anyway. They say that
Congress will make its own laws in its
own way regardless of what the Pres
ident may want, and at any rate the
message, no matter what it contains
will not have the effect of cutting the
special session short, as so many mem.
bers of both houses hoped
There is no doubt that Mr.. Ceve.
, land will advocate the repeal of the
silver purchasing clause Of the Sherman
act but he may omit the very impor
tant suggestion as to whether this should
be done Internationally or by the sub
stitution of some other measure in the
nature of a compromise,
He will also probably say that bi.
metallism is a good thing, but if he
does he will qualify that statement with
the observation that it is impracticabe
at this time on account of the stand
taken by other nations in monetary
matters, and that we cannot undertake
to adopt the dual standard until We
have coerced Europe into adopting oul
views, and he will probably close with
the recommendation that while it is in
session Congress should pay some
attention to the tariff All these things
he can say without endangering his
reputation as a prophet and seer.
There seems to be no hope of bring
ing about an adjournment of Congress
before the expiration of six weeks OF
two months, and the great majority o
Congressman think that they will 81
without intermission until next sum
mer, which means that the silve
question cannot be settled until Decen
Der. The events of to-day seem tC
bear this out.

Liberal Unonist whips were at Uhce
dispatched in search of absentees to
summon them to immediate attendance
at the House, and Balfour and other
members of the opposition appeared in
time to take part in the debate on
Smiths motion. Eventually the mo-
ton was defeated by a vote of 1876 to
1872. Smith moved two further clauses
dealing with elections in Ireland, and
after debate each clause was rejected.

The Lady Managers Have Another

CHICAGO, August For four hours
this afternoon the lady managers had
another hot wrangle over the troubles
which grew out of Mrs. Balls remarks
about Mrs. Meredith, Saturday. There
were tears, Kisses, stamping of feet, and
great confusion generally. Mrs Mer-
edith precipitated the row by reading
the report of the committee, of which
she is chairman and Mrs. Ball the
secretary, stating that every member OF
the committee had signed the letter TO
Mrs. Palmer asking that Mrs. Ball be
excused from further service on the
committee.
Then followed the trouble One
parliamentary question after another
was flung at the chair until even the
man who sits as parliamentary expert
and advises Mrs. Palmer, was Devil
dered. AS the debate grew heated, a
large number of outsiders crowded
into the room. None of the many
propositions made succeeded in run.

presence of a crowd of anxious speCta.
tors. In the House Crisp was elected

of the late Senator Stanford.
In an interview John Sherman said
"The Democratic party has now ar
opportunity to accomplish results ano
thus expiate its mistakes of the past,
AS Republicans we ought to do our
part We have been driven to ex-
pedients which we did not wholly APP
prove to prevent measures destructive
to our credit and currency. We then
found our Democratic friends almost
solidly united for free coinage and free
trade If now, with the responsibility
resting upon them, they will give us
good money of uniform value, and
reasonable protection to American in
dustries, Republican Senators and
Members will aid them. / confess
that my hope is stronger than my faith,
but in obedience to the popular voice
at the last election l will await with
patience the fulfllment Of their
promises.
WASHINGTON, %. c., August T.
All reports of the contents of the Presl-
dents message which will probably be
read to Congress tomorrow morning,
are mere guesses, as the utmost secrecy
has been preserved by the members Of
the Cabinet, and Banker Benedict, who
are the only people who know with any
degree of certainty what Mr.. Cleveland
will say 1t is vaguely urged, however,
that the President will belch forth with
no uncertain sound on the stringency
of the times, and the necessity of doing
something drastic to restore confidence
at once, but that he will talk very
guardedly when treating the money
question itself, and that he will not out
line any specific plan by which the ills
of the Nation are to be cured.
II the men who talk this way are
correct in their assumptions, to-mor
rows message will be very general in
its character, and its terms will be made
TO cover a multitude of things, without
making one pointed, definite suggestion
as to a plan to be adopted There
will then be no sensational promulga-
ton of a new financial system, and
Congress will be left to devise its own
means to extricate the country from the
sad condition in which it finds itself to-
day.
These premises may be wrong and
ill-founded, but it is explained that Mr.
Cleveland does not care to jeopardize
