AFFAIRS AT WASHINGTON.

President Cleveland has told an inter-
We've: that he intended to call an
extra session of congress not earlier
than the lst nor later than the
fifteenth of September, unless uneXpect-
ed contingencies should necessitate an
earlier meeting. The President further
said: "While there has beeh no mystery
nor secrecy in regard to my intention in
this matter, | think it not amiss that our
people should be Informed authoritative
ly that the time is at hand when their
representatives In congress will be called
upon to deal with a financial condition
which is the only menace to the coun-
try's welfare and prosperity. 1t is well
for the people to take up the subject for
themselves and arrive at their own con-
illusions as to the merits of a financial
policy which obllges us to purchase idle
silver bullion with gold taken from our
reserve. One does not need the eye of
a financier to see that this gold thus
subtracted from the governments stock
is eagerly seized upon by other nations
for the purpose of strengthening theiI
credit at our expense"
