AN EMPTY HONOR FOR REED.
The Republican Caucus NOminateS Him
For Speaker.

Editor Mcpherson Nominated for
Clerk of the House, A. j. Holmes for
Sergeant-At-Arms and ]. L. Hatcha-
way for Doorkeeper-Reed Makes
One of His Characteristic Speeches
in Accepting.
Washington, Aug. 5.-The room of the
committee on judiciary was none too large
to hold the republican members of con-
gress who gathered there tonight to nom
mate their candidates for officers of the
Fifty-third congress. Representative
Henderson of Illinois presided, land Repre-
sentative Hooker of New York acted as
secretary, and each was subsequently re-
elected to the same position in the caucus
for the ensuing congress. When it came
to nominating the ticket that is to be de-
feated Monday, Representative Hender-
son nominated ex-Speaker Reed, saying
that he would name a man whose record
and whose hold on the popular heart
would make more eloquent appeal than
anything he might be able to say
REEDS SPEECH.
The nomination was made by acclama-
tion and after prolonged applause Mr..
Reed responded in one of his characteris-
tic speeches, his sarcastic drawl having
lost none of its pungency during the sum
mer recess. Four months ago, he said,
they had left congress and returned to
their homes, with the country in a pros
porous condition. IAN the mills were
running, the spindles playing, furnaces
roaring, labor employed everywhere and
the people happy" Now, he continued,
1--WE are called back to find an extraordi
nary business depression, distrust in all
circles and a general generalization
of the finances of the country, a condition,
of course,n he said, "precipitated by
democratic failure to legislate. In this
emergency the democrats call on the re
publicans to lay aside all partisanship,
forget anything that has been done in the
past, and join with the democrats to get
them out of their present trouble" There
was no attempt on the part of Mr.. Reed
to outline party policy, and he con-
cluded by saying that the republican
party would be found discharging its duty
in way to fit in with the broad measure
Of its past record, when it was in the ma
iority and if it did this it could be asked
to do no more.
THE REMAINDER OF THE TICKET.
The remainder of the ticket nominated
is as follows: For clerk, Ed Mcpherson !;
for sergeant-at-arms, A. j. Holmes, of
Iowa; for doorkeeper, J. L. Hathaway, of
Montana; for chaplain, Rev. Horace
Green, of New York These are, with
the exception of the chaplain, the officers
of theFifty y-frst congress, \ recommended
tionwasalso madeto the democratic caucus
to retain upon the rolls Capt Currier Of
Iowa, GeorgeJ. Enuison of New York, and
S. H. Decker of Ohio, republican Inessen-
gers, Albert Kennedy of Michigan, chief
of pages, and John Chancey of the Dis
trict of Columbia, the republican whip
all of whom served in the last congress.

ing of the cabinet called for 4 o'clock this
afternoon convened promptly at that

journed, discussing matters pertaining to
the department of state. All of the mem

proved by their summer vacations.

understood that the President read to his
advisers a rough draft of his forthcoming

cial and tariff questions.

sible an official exposure Of the failure Of
the India currency policy

DRAFTS ON INDIA CAN'T BE SOLD.
feature Of the position is,the contin-
ued non-success of the India council to sell
their drafts on India. On Wednesday
last, bills to the amount of forty laks OF
rupees We're offered without an allotment
being made. The only tender made was
for ten laks at s. 394 d. per rupee. The
tender was refused. For i've consecutive
weeks the India council has
failed to obtain tenders for its bill, being
unwilling to make allotments except Is.
Id. or the smallest fraction under that
price. Currency experts differ in opinion
as to whether the council can hold out in
maintaining the price of its drafts at a
fixed minimum and as to what the result
OF such an attempt will be upon the cur
rency struggle generally.
VIM. II. Greenfield, who has heretofore
supported Mr.. Gladstones political and
financial policies, has withdrawn from
the Liberal party, solely, il is said, be-
cause of the governments action In re-
gard to the India carrency question.
This fact, together with the speech made
at the Mansion House meeting on Thurs
day by Mr.. Balfour, when the principal
bankers of London and other bust
ness men assembled to con-
slider the situation, has again
aroused the cOuntry's interest in the
financial situation. Though Mr.. Balfour
in his speech declined to commit the Con
servative party to bimetallism, it is an
accepted fact that that party is tending
to the adoption of a double standard as a
plank In the conservative platform.
