TIE SILVER QUESTION.
General Tracey Thinks the sherman Law
wan BE Repealed without Any Oonces-

General Tracey Thinks the sherman Law
wiz BE Repealed without Any COnces-
sion 20 silver.
WASHINGTON, June S.-An evening
paper has the following:
General Tracey, Of Albany, who Is
one Of the most conspicuous OF the anti
silver leaders in Congress, and who is
regarded as one OF the strongest friends
Of the administration on the floor Of the
House, saw the President to-day.
He did not stay long, but he
will have 3 lengthy conference with
Mr.. Cleveland before leaving Washing
ton. Gen. Tracsy says that the Sher-
man law will be repealed at the coming
session without the passage OF any sub
stitute measure or the adoption OF any
compromises with the free silver men.
The simple proposition to repeal this
law viii have a large major
ity, he says, in the House, and
there are forty-fve votes for 1t In the
Senate. He believed that there would
be strength enough TO vote down any
attempt on the part Of the silver men
to secure the substitution OF the old
Bland act or any other measure re-
ducing the amount Of monthly pur-
chases of silver, aud he also gave 1t as
his opinion that the proposed repeal OF
the ten per cent tax on the circulation
OF State banks would fail Of passage.
COMING FROM GEN. TRACEY,
these views are OF more than ordinary
value, He has carefully studied the
situation, knows every move that has
been made, and evidently speaks by the
card. His statement develops the fact
that thorough canvass Of the House
has been made by administration lead
erS and that radical change OF senti-
ment has been found. Gen. Tracey's
presence in town Is thought to be main
ly for the purpose Of reporting to the
President.
Senator Jones, OF Arkansas, took an
entirely different view from that enter
tained by Gen. Tracey.
THE Sherman law can Oever be re-
pealed In the Senate unless some other
measure looking to the coinage Of silver
IS substituted. ! am opposed 10 the
sherman law. and spoke and voted
against II, but would not vote for its
repeal unless some other legislation was
enacted favorable 70 silver. | would be
willing to have the old Bland act re-
enacted, or some measure like it, and
would support the repeal of the present
law with that compromise attached"
Congressman James H. Reilly, OF
POttsville. Pa, who is staying at the
Randall, called on the President to-day.
Mr.. Reilly is a thorough administration
Democrat. he said that be felt sure
the Sherman law would be repealed,
and added: 'ln my opinion, that is the
chief reason for calling an extra ses-
sion"
The Star says: president Cleveland
told q member Of Congress to-day that
under no circumstances would there be
an issue Of bonds, unless specially au-
thorized by Congress. The administra-
tion, he said, was not responsible for
the present financial situation, and it
lay with a Congress and not with the
administration 10 find remedy for it,"

The "worid" Asks How They VIII Vote
on CertaiR Important Questions.
New YORK. June s.-The World pre-
sents the answers Of majority OF the
members OF the next Congress to these
three questions:
l. Do you, with present information,
favor repeal Of the Sherman silver
law?
.. Do you favor an income tax?
3. Do 20 favor the repeal Of the State
bank tax?
Those questions were asked every
Congressman by telegraph on Tuesday.
To The first question there are SO repre-
sentatives who say practically Yes"
while only Is say No" OF the rest
many who qualify their answers SO
strongly that they cannot fairly be
placed in the affirmative column, show
plainly that their inclinations are in
favor Of repeal.
On the income tax, 45 say squarely
that they favor it and 42 that they do
not. Southern aud Western Congress
men are the most numerous advocates
OF such q tax.
On the State bank tax question opin-
ion is almost as one-sided as in regard
to the Sherman bill. Many dodge IL en-
tirely, but sixty say positively that they
are against repeating the tax while only
thirty favor the repeal.

THE RATE AT WHICH HEADS DROPPED
The official records Of the Postoftice
Department show that during the first
three months OF the present admins
tration, ended June 30, the total mum
Der of fourth class Dostmasters appoint
ed was 6, 537, OF which 4,672 were to I'll
vacancies caused by designations and
deaths, and 1,s65 by removals. Dur
ing the corresponding period
in Mr.. Harrison'S administration
the total number appointed was
s,226, or l,6s6 more than were appoint
ed during the last three months. OF
these, 1853 were TO fill vacancies caused
by designations and deaths, and 5,567 by
removals. The number Of appointment
made on designations was, therefore,
2,Ol3 greater during the first quarter OF
the present administration than during
the last, and the number made on re-
movals was 3, ZOE less during the past
quarter than during the corresponding
quarter under Mr.. Harrison'S admins
tratlOn.
In response to a telegram from the
President, Cardinal Gibbons called at
the White House to-day and had an in
torview with Mr.. Cleveland. The occa-
sion for the summons could not be
definitely learned, but It is understood
that the President wished TO consult

His Efforts For PeAcs-Police and Sol

MANAGUA, NICARAGUA. June S.-Intense
excitement prevails in this city over a
clash yesterday between the police and the
revolutionary army, which marched into
the Capitol
No trouble was expected. and none took
place until the army was marching in
front Of the police station. Without warn
ing a shot waa fired into the ranks Of the
army from the police station. The soldiers
were surprised, but amazement gave way
70 indignation. Without waiting for a
command the soldiers nearest the police
station fred into the police. Five police
men fell dead in the street.
There was cross-fre between the sol
diers and police and several soldiers were
killed. Many Of the spectators who were
watching the parade OF the army and cheer
ing IL n its way were killed anu wounded.
The police were suppressed and the army
resumed its march. When the head Of the
column was passing the United States Le-
CATION and the American Minister was
seen in front OF il. General Zavalo shouted,
Long live Minister Baker. the worthy
representative OF the American nation"
This sentiment was wildly cheered BY
the crowd, which filed the street and by
the men in the ranks.n

TIE rEEAsURY SITUATION.
More Gold Coming in-The Latest Daily
" Statement by Treasurer Morgan.

" Statement by Treasurer Morgan.
WASHINGTON, d. c., June S.-The
Treasury situation remains practically
unchanged, the receipts being undi-
minished and expenditures not increas-
ed. From Treasurer Morgan's daily
statement the net geld in the Treasury
to-day is stated at $50, $50, 1868, and the
net balance exclusive Of the goldat $50,
213,007. This balance has been reduced
since the first month by the large pay
ments which usually fall due on the
first of each month. In addition 10
regular stated charges OF salaries, ETC.,
nearly So, 900, 900 In lump was ordered
to be paid on account OF Choctaw and
ChickaSaw Indian claims.
Another item OF large expenditure Is
pensions, SO, roo, 900 having been paid
out on this account during the past
week. The totaN, expenditures so far
this month foot up 50, ,767, 600, and the
total receipts IS, 100000
While the gold balance is actually as
stated at $50, $50, 363-there is gold In
transit which when it reaches the
treasury will increase the total to near
ly $50, 900, 900. Orders for exports Of
gold filed in New York earlier in the
week, have it is understood been
cancelled on account OF the
tightness and OF money there.
better rates for money can be obtained
at home than abroad This indicates
that no gold shipments will be made
this week, although the rate of ex-
change is 400, sufficiently high TO JUS
tiiy gold exports. With no gold ship
ments the treasury naturally In the
course of business accumuates gold.
The fact, too, that much grain is now
being exported adds encouragement to
the situation, and II it continues, as it

rhaIniunotion Granted.

CHICAGO, June 6.-The judges OF the
Chicago court failed TO agree on the
proper policy to be pursued in the Sun
day closing question this morning:
When Judges Woods, jenkins and
Grosscup took their seats on the bench
the former announced that the court
would pass upon the motion for an In
junction made by the United States
against the Worlds Columbian EXPOSE
tion.
Judge Woods, in lengthy opinion,
gave his views of the case and decided
that the prayer for al injunction was
we'll grounded, and that the Columbian
Exposition should be enjoined from
opening its gates on SUNDAY.
Judge Jenkines agreed In the main
with Juege Woods, differing with the
latter only on minor points OF the law.
He decides that the Injunction must ls-
sue aud the Fair close Oh Sunday. This
decides the situation, as Judge Gross
cup, should he hold otherwise, would be
in a minority, and the court declares
with the government fer the latter's
right to insist on the contract made oy
the acceptance OF the souvenir coins,
and that the gates OF the Fair remain
closed on Sunday.
Judge Grosscup disagreed with his
associates. There was no contract OF
binding nature, and the souvenir coins
were issued under a proviso only to de-
fend the national honor. In his opinion
the directors and commissioners had a
right to open the Worlds Fair on Sun
days.
The court instructed counsel to pre-
pare an order providing for the injunc-
tion as prayed. Attorney Walker, for
Exposition, gave notice OF an applica-
tlon for an appeal and it is probable
that after all the Fair will not close on
Sunday, as an appeal will surely be
granted, In all probability a supersedeas
will be obtained pending the final de-
