Tuesdays Cabinet Meeting.
THE NEW PHASE OF THE SILVER CUES
TIoN DISCUSSED AT LENGTH.

WASHINGTON, June 28.-Two hours
were consumed by the cabinet to-day
discussing the new phase of the silver
question and other matters demand
ing attention. The two conferences
yesterday afternoon and evening be-
tween the President and Secretary
Carlisle simpli6ed matters to some
extent. Although the discussion, it is
said, took wide range, it was neces-
sarily brought back to one important
and unmanageable point-that the
executive had no power in the prem
ises, congress alone being able to deal
with the measure for relief It was
plain to the cabinet that the monthly
purchase Of silver must be continued
or else congress must be convened in
special session Immediately. As the
President had decided to call con-
gress together in the early part of Sep
tember, to deal with the financial sit
uation, and manifested no intention
of changing his stated purpose, the
project of an earlier session of con-
gress, it was understood, was dropped.
So far as the continuance of the pur-
chase of silver bullion under the Sher-
man law was concerned, it was point
ed out that little more than two
months remained before congress
would convene in extra session and
that during the intervening time the
silver to be purchased would be only
nine million ounces, a comparatively
small amount in view of the previous
purchases. The best way to deal
with the question was to wait the
course of events for two months long
er. This view was generally agreed
to and the meeting adjourned

guns and 40 extra cartridges to wrestle
with the invader. He had had half an hour
