BUzzARD's BAY, Mass, July 6.-Pres-
ident Cleveland is confined to his room
with an attack of rheumatism in his foot
and knee, complaint from which he

statement regarding the presidents con
dition."

"He's suffering from rheumatism,
just as reported this afternoon; those
reports are correct"

suffering from malignant or cancerous
growth ON the mouth and that an op-
GRAFTON was necessary and has been per-
formed to relieve him. is not correct"
''He is suffering from his teeth, that's
all" answered the doctor.

A Silver Rally in Spokane.

SPOKANE, Wash., July 6,-The friends
OF silver rallied in Music hall tonight
and chesred the speakers aud senti-
ments in favor of free coinage. Five
hundred men crowded into the hall and
as many more went away because they
could not gain admission. The senti-
ment was unanimously in favor of sus-
tanning silver and upholding the mining
industry of this section. A resolution
was adopted calling upon the
members of congress to reflect
the sentiments of their constituents
demanding free and unlimited coinage
of silver and opposing the unconditional
repeal OF the Sherman act. Hon. w. III.
Claggett made the speech of the even
ing. He spoke for more than an hour
and his remarks were conceded to be the
finest plea for free silver that has ever
been made upon the platform of this
city. Old residents say tonight's mass
meeting was the most enthusiastic ever

BY the Associated Press
New YORK, July 6.-The business
men of the metropolis met today and
considered the financial and commercial
situation by which they are surrounded.
The occasion was the gathering of the
chamber of commerce, in response to a
cali issued by the leading members, who
therein declared that the present dis
turbed condition Of the finances of the
country called for public expression of
opinion by business men as to the rem
edy to be applied for the restoration OF
confidence. Vice-President Orr pre-
sided.
John Claflin arose and said they did
not need to be told that the strain busi-
ness men were suffering from was Sc
we're one. He did not believe
that they were on the verge of
commercial panic; they were
passing through one. There have been
many causes, he said, which contributed
to tbe present troubles. Most of them
would right themselves in the natural
course of business, but there was one
chief cause which was not included in
the category, and that was She silver
purchasing clause Of the Sherman law.
[Applause.] 1t caused distrust abroad
and weakened us while il strengthened
Europe. He did not see how any eensi-
ble man could oppose the repeal of the
law; any law that might take its place
should only be enacted after wise and
lengthy deliberation.
Claflin concluded by offering for adop-
ton resolutions which recited that the
country had often suffered from hasty
and ill-advised legislation, and was now
suffering from the effects of the silver
purchasing clause of the Sherman act.
In consequence OF the alarm money was
withdrawn from circulation, business
was depressed, mills and manufactures
were preparing to close, and thousands
of laboring men were about to be thrown
out of employment; that business en-
terprises would not be resumed Cr labor
steadily employed until money could be
obtained at moderate rates, and ordi-
nary interest rates could not be ex-
pected until confidence in the sta
biity of all the money Of the coun-
try was thoroughly re-established ;
that the repeal of the silver purchase
clause Of the Sherman act was essential
to prompt restoration of national pros
perity, and urging the speedy and un-
conditional repeal of the clause.
Further, that in the Judgment OF the
chamber, representative commission
should be appointed by congress at a
special session to diligently study the
coinage and currency laws of the
United States and other countries and
report at the regular session Of conVraas
to the end that a comprehensive plan
for a safe and elastic currency may be
carefully matured in the light of the
worlds experience.
An amendment providing for COM
mittee of seven, to go to Washington and
work for the repeal of the Sherman law,
was offered by Louis Windmiller and q
lengthy discussion followed. after which
the resolutions and amendment were
adopted. there being but three nays.

upon Secretary Gresham and presented
his letters of recall. He communicated
to the department the tact that the Mic

unlikely, however, that this course will
be pursued with Nicaragua, as American

preventative of each of the parties interested
were very much concerned over the means by
which the HERALD got its information. All
protested that there was no trouble and each
blamed the other for giving the papers the
particulars and when the HERALD people
informed each that the information was not
received from either of the others they
seemed to be greatly puzzled, but still insisted
that the report was not correct.
After lapse Of three months it developed
to-day that the HERALD's report of the
matter hit exceedingly close to tine bulls eye
if it did not actually penetrate it. Deputy
Sheriff O'Donnell came to town from Potts
vile to-day to levy on the bar fixtures in
r. d. Schoener's saloon on North Main street
The levy was instituted at the instance of a
western firm which makes bar fixtures
through NJ. NJ. Burke, Esq
The firm suing claims that Mr. Schooner
selected bar fixtures at their New York house
valued at $500 and signed lease for them,
the understanding being that the title to the
goods was not to pass until they had been
fully paid for Mr.. Schooner at the same time
paid deposit of $50 and, tits alleged, another
condition of the sale was that before taking
the goods from the depot Mr., Schooner was
to call at one of the banks in Shenandoah
and sign no es for the amount agreed upon,
whereupon the bank officials would deliver to
him a bill of lading which would entitIe him
to a delivery of the fixtures upon presentation
at the p. S r. freight depot.
The firm also alleges that Mr.. Schooner,
instead Of going to the bank, as agreed upon,
went direct to the freight depot upon learn
ing of the arrival of the fixtures and had
them transferred to his saloon. Then the
war commenced and for several weeks there
was much wrangling between the manufac-
turing company and the railroad officials, the
former claiming that Schooner should not
have been allowed to take the fixtures with
out first producing a bin of lading, How.
ever, the fight now seems to have settled
down to a suit between the bar company and
Mr. Schooner, hence the levy. 1t is claimed
that no law will uphold Mr.. Schooner in
retaining possession Of fixtures worth $500
and for which he has paid but $50.
On Mr.. Schoeners side it is claimed that
the fixtures did not prove as represented
before the sale and that Mr.. Schooner is also
entitled to commission from the sales of
fixtures made for it.
To these claims the company says that if
not as represented Mr.. Schooner should not
have retained the fixtures and it is denied
that he has acted as agent for the company.
A bond of $1,000 has been furnished to
indemnify Mr.. Schooner in case the company
loses its suit. If Mr.. Schooner puts up a
similar bond the fixtures will be allowed TO
remain in the saloon, and if he does not the
company will call upon the Sheriff to remove
the fixtures to. morrow.
