WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-The results of
the elections throughout the country to-
morrow are awaited with great interest
by public men in this city. who see in them
an indication Of the result of the Presi-
Dental elections of 1896. Politicians are
looking upon the election. not as being an
Endorsement OF the Democratic party or a
rebuke. but as an indication OF public feel
ing. Viewed from the Washington stand
point the elections are interesting, as
presenting the thoughts of the people on
multifarious questions. without involving
any fresh political significance. Secretary
Lamont left this evening for New York,
where he will vote tomorrow. Assistant
Secretary Hamlin of the Treasury Depart
ment left this evening for Massachusetts
to vote tomorrow, and Supervising Archi-
tect O'Rourke, Solicitor General Maxwell,
Fourth Assistant Postmaster Maxwell and
First Comptroller Bowler have also gone
to their respective homes for the same pur-
pose. The Congressional contingent in the

NEW YORK, Nov. General j. S.
Clarkson Of Iowa was seen to-day at the
Plaza Hotel by an Associated Press repre-
sentative. In speaking of the financial
aspect of the country he said: This silver
Panic was alto ogether created by bankers
for their own interests and politics had
nothing to do with it. If it was oniaccount
of the silver question that trade was de-
pressed its revival should be general and
immediate. The real reason for the de-
preston was the unsettled state of the
country consequent on the change of ad-
ministration and the proba bility of a
change in the financial policy OF the coun-
try. The Democratic party has abandoned
its intention of adopting free trade. II
will give as much free trade as possible,
but it must have money TO carry on the
Government. The revenues have already
been seriously deere ased, and il the tariff
is abolished an income tax must be levied,
which would be most obnoxious meas
ure. | believe that Mckinley will carry
Ohio by large majority, and Iowa is
against free trade. and Massachusetts also.
"In my opinion we should have an
international financial policy; but l am
afraid it ia only a dream, as the difference
in governments-despoti monarchic and
republcan-would seem to preclude the
possibility of arriving at such an agree
ment. Trade is rapidly reviying and will
continue to revive, and now that it has
been decided to made no material ch hanges
in the tariff manufacturers will commence
reproduction.
1.-THE fight between Mckinley and Neal
is fair and square one between the
apostle of protection and the apostle of
free trade. Ohio is one of the greatest
manufacturing States, and its voice may
be taken as rejecting the industrial CEN
ters Of population in the country"

PRESBYTERIANS ALARMED.
Gail for a Great Church Council to
Adjust Matters.

CLEVELAND. Ohio. Nov. 6.-About fifty
of the most prominent liberal ministers of
the PRESBYTERIAN church in the large cities
will meet in Cleveland on Wednesday to
decide upon policy for the future. The
circular which calls the meeting says:
1.-THE present condition OF the Presby-
terian church occasions deep soictude and
calls for Immediate and serious consider
alton. Many ministers and elders view
with apprehension the tendency to the
assumption and Capitalization of power.
and the disposition both to impose practi-
cally new dogma without due constitutional
process, aud to treat formal action and
oveItures of presbyteries with small re-
spect. They fear lest the reasonable tOler-
ance and liberty of opinion hitherto en-
joyed under the standards shall be
abridged. and not a few devoted office
bearers crowded out of good ecclesiastical
standing or even out of the church. In
this state of affairs il will not answer for
loyal Presbyterians to be inactive or in
different. We cannot afford to be silent
under implied suggestions Of heterOdOXy,
nor seem to acQuiesce passively in arbitrary
assumptions. rigid exclusiveness and un-
constitutional procedure. We must not
suffer worthy brethren to be forced need
lessly to leave the church. The frank
conference of wise representative men.
who shall consider what action is needed
at this present iuncture to maintain our
constitutional safeguards,t to encourage our
disturbed brethren and to give frank ex-
preston to our views and positions seems
to have become an imperative necessity"

the New York Synod. which was appointed

They arrived yesterday at Amapala, the
port Of entry of Honduras on the Pacific
coast.
In the afternoon Commander of the Port
Villa made demand that Captain Dow
should surrender Bonilla. When the re-
Quest was refused a threat was made to
sink the ship, and it was asserted that
President VasQuez had given orders to
that effect. Villa. incensed at the refusal
to surrender Bonilla, gave orders to fire on
: the ship after nightfal, when it was too
dark to leave in safety.
a Government officer came on board at
$50 o'clock this morning saying that new
orders had been received from the Presi-
dent insisting on the delivery Of BOntlla
with the alternative of firing on the ship.
Captain Dow replied that the comman-
der of the port would receive his answer
in. half an hour. but before the time ex-
pired he sailed away.
: Several shots were fred after the Costa

steamship Gala of the same line. which is
lyiag in port, may have been injured. for

vessel was out of range.
The Congress of Honduras has con-
ferred upon General Vasquez power to
make war on Nicaragua if an invasion by
the revolutionists in that republic occurs.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-There are ru-
mors that Voorhees, will introduce a free
coinage silver bill at the opening of tha
regular session. Voorhees, declines to talk
about the matter. but ii is poin ted out that
he has always been a silver man, and de-
clared during the debate ON the repeal bill
that he was no less the friend of silver
now than always. At any rate it is thor
oughly understood the silver question is
not shelved by the passage of the repeal
bill. On the contrary, the silver men say
the fight has only begun. When Congress

issue between the parties, from the tariff
to the repeal of the Federal election laws.
Every stage of the tariff discussion will be-
punctuated by pertinent queries bg silver
men tending to prove it was the demone-

tariff which caused the financial depres-
sion. Indeed it is intended that the silver

BOTH SIDES CONFIDENT.
New York Democrats Are Sure That
Maynard Will Win.

NEW YORK. Nov. Elm New York State
both the Democrats and Republicans have
confidence in the success of their respective
parties. Despite the severe criticism to which
Judge Maynard. the Democratic candidate,
has been subjected, the Democratic leaders
express the belief that he will carry the
State by from 10000 to 10000. The Repub-
licans say they have an excellent chance
10 win.
No recent campaign ever ended so quiet
ly in New York as the present one. The
Republican and Democratic centers were
almost deserted tonight, and the bets
made on the result were not worth record
ing. The Democrats talk bravely, but it is
apparent late tonight that they have little
hope of clecting Maynard as Judge of the
Court of Appeals. Tammany hopes to
pull him through, but the chances are
largely against him.

NEW YORK. Nov. 6.-Carlisle, Secretary

He declined to say anything in relation to

express any opinion as to the outlook. In
reply to a question from reporter for the
Evening Post the Secretary said he had
not issued any order directing the mints
to coin the silver bullion in the treasury,
or any part of it.
What | have done is just this" said
Carlisle I'VE could use few more silver
dollars now, and l therefore directed the
minis to get ready to coin bullion when it
was deemed advisable to do so. 1t would
take more than five years to coin all the
silver bullion now in the treasury, and if
we should begin TO coin 1t the seiginorage
would not, in round figures, amount to
more than S1,000.000 a month. With the
certainty that purchases of silver bullion
are stopped, we can proba bly, use this silver
to advantage. should be sorry, therefore
to see any law passed, as recently sug-
gested, that we set aside that portion of
the bullion that would become segniorage.
and coin 1t alone and at once, and thus add
to the treasury available cash. If we did
that | think the coin would come back to
us in way we should not desire to see.
Something should be left to the discretion
of the Secretary. The law at present in
vests him with authority to coin such of
the silver bullion as may be necessary for
the redemption of treasury notes. If I
should proceed to coin some of the silver
bullion now on hand it would give US
about 81, 100000 a month in seigniorage,

condition of the treasury l could use this
with advantage. | do not want to have
