bcrease in the ratio of sixteen to
be which now prevails, notwith-
|snding the declaration of Mr..
land and other prominent silver
zen including the entire populist
elegation that they intend to stand
the presen. ratio.
Some say that the increase will

Mbe as high as twenty four to
lie, and many believe that Presl-
INT Cleveland would gladly ap.
love bill for the free coinage of
pth metals at the last named ratio,

President Cleveland has new

tx Secretary Whitney, who had
: extended conference with him
st before he returned to Washing,
IN, to compel early action on a
pancial bill by congress. He has
minated, it is said, to several SEN
ors and representatives., that if
Pngress shows disposition to pro.
ing the debate over the repeal of
e Sherman law, he will order a

panclal stringency. One of those
whom he made that statement is
fported to have said to him: "Mr.
resident, if you believe you have
authority under existing laws to
DER an issue of bonds, and that an
sue OF bonds would relieve the
fsvalent financial distress, why did
Oa call an extra session of con-
Fess to legislate upon the situa-

Notwithstanding the efforts he is
ported to have made to reduce his
esn, President Cleveland is con.
'aerably stouter than he was when
sieft W ashington for his vacation.
dis has been noticed and com.
eented upon by all who have seen
