NO APPLICATION FOR THE PEN.
The Steel Stub with Which the Repeal
hill Was signed.

Whenever the President signs an i'm
portant congressional enactment and there
by makes ii the law of the land there is
usually considerable competition among
the persons specially interested In the legis-
Ia tfon to secure as a precious relic the pen
with which the final and most essential
act was performed. The usual form of ap-
proving a bill is for the President to write
beneath the signatures of the President of
the Senate and the Speaker of the House
the word approved" followed by the date
of approval and his signature. There has
never been probably a bill that has eA-
cited more general Interest than the bill
which repealed the purchasing clause of
the Sherman silver bill and the effect of
which has been to take the government out
of the market purchaser of silver
bullion. The President signed this bill with
an ordinary steel stub pen. No one has
as yet shown the least desire for the
possession of this article which will un-
doubtedly be object of great historic
value i'll the dim future. The lock of interest
in the matter is a subject of general sur
prise, as it was expected there would be
at least a score of applicants for IT. Az
though 1t is not known as a fact, 1t is be-
leved that the President will present the
pen and holder to Senator Voorhees, as
slight token of appreciation of the promi-
nent part he took in accomplishing the re-
suit so much desired by the President and
the people generally.

EFFECT IN THE SOUTH
Of the Financial Action During the Special
Session.
Mr. Cooper Thinks the Democrats Will
Lose Some Votes, but Not Enough
to Change an Election Result.

The question uppermost in the minds of
the southern democrats now is what will
be the effect in their section of the country
of the action which this special session has
taken with relation to finance. A Star re-
porter was talking today with Representa-
tive Cooper of Florida, one of the southern
men who was most pronounced in his ad-
vocacy of the repeal of the Sherman law.
Mr.. Cooper said that he presumed that the
democrats would suffer some loss of votes
temporarily in the south on account of the
policy of the administration, but that he
did not think that there would be enough
change to affect the result in an election.
He said that whatever disaffection might
grow out of the present situation would be
overcome, he believed, by action, by legis-
lation which would follow.
Other Legislation Expected.
In his opinion, there was no question that
some general legisla ton on the question Of
finance would follow very soon after the
reassembling of Congress, and there would
be, also, other legislation which will be in
line with public sentiment in his section of
the country.
He said that he believed that the tariff
legislation would be popular, and that the
financial legislation to follow would be of a
character to put the country on a sound
basis, with sufficient money for the needs
of trade and commerce.
The Currency Question.
He said that he thought the questions be-
fore the next session of Congress would be
whether they should decrease the currency
through the medium of state banks or
should so enlarge the national bank system
by permitting them to issue loans on real
estate and the like as to meet the public
requirements. Which of these two things
will be done he could not say or predict,
since the public mind during this session
had been directed chiefly toward the one
question of clearing away the debris and
opening a clear field for action hereafter,
but he was satisfied that there would be
adopted a policy which would give a sound
and sufficient financial system.

THE PROCLAMATION.
Setting Aside the Thirtieth as Thanks
giving Day.

Although there may have been no con-
nection between the two acts 1t is remarked
as somewhat significant that the Presidents
proclamation Of Thanksgiving followed fast
upon the adjournment OF the extra session
OF Congress. The text Of the proclamation
is as follows:
while the American people every day
remember with praise and thanksgiving
the Divine goodness and mercy which have
followed them since their beginning as a
nation, 1t is fitting that one day in each
year should be especially devoted to the
contemplation of the blessings We have re-
ceived from the hand of God, and TO lne
grateful acknowledgment OF His loving
kindness.
Therefore /, Grover Cleveland. President
OF the United States, do hereby designate
and set apart Thursday, the 3Oth day OF the
present month of November, as a day OF
thanksgiving and praise to be kept and
observed by all the people of our land On
that day let US forego our ordinary work
and employments, and assemble in our
usual places of worship, where we may re-
call all that God has done for us, and where
from gra teful hearts our united tribute OF
praise and song may reach the throne Of
grace. Let the reunion of kindred and the
social meeting of friends lend cheer and en-
joyment to the day, and let generous gifts
of charity for the relief OF the poor and
needy prove the sincerity of our thanks
giving"

GONE SQUIRREL SHOOTING.
How the President and Secretary Gresham
Are Enjoying Themselves.
They Started Early This Morning.
Secretary Lamont Has Gone to the
Gettysburg battlefield.

The President and Secretary Gresham are
engaged today in cunning for the festive
squirrels that are said to gambol boldly in
great numbers in the woods few miles
to the north of 'Woodley." The fact that
they are enjoying themselves in this way
is a profound executive secret and the off,
cials of the White House say that if il is
so they do not know it. The fact became
known only by accident. Mr. Loeffier, the
Presidents doorkeeper, who is an authority
on squirrels, is with the party. Secretary
Gresham left the Arlington Hotel about 6
o'clock this morning and Joined the Prasi-
dent at Woodley. The President sent word
to Private Secretary Thurber that he would
not be in town today. Only that and moth
ing more.
Secretary Lamont went to Gettysburg
Pa, today to meet the national commission
engaged in marking the lines of battle and
to make a personal inspection of their plan
OF work. He was shown over the field by
Commissioners Nicholson, Forney and
Batcheller.
