r House took a recess to-day OF
,f 4n hour I'm order that the commit
.8f eight appointed AT the silver eau
rs could confer with the leaders OF the
..l.lverltcs. This was done In order
t.a,Yid a precipitated action from either

...l.d that no cloture rule be adopted.
..l that unlimited debate should pre-

whatever.
In any event the discussion will be
animated indeed, and VIII be protracted
for weeks 90 come.
II was singular 10 note the various
reasons Given by many Of the Congress
ueD who are really silver advocates
f1 some extent. and yet who failed 10
attend the silver caucus. Some Of them
claim that they would attend no caucus
except q strictly party one, and others
...tlv avoid saying they feared that such
attendance would influence their prestige
with tie President in the matter OF APP
-..ntments. Some OF tho newspapers
~. rldiculed the gathering. and one
f.rued the caucus "a gathering Of cranhs,
U.uulists and negroes" The fact, how

... only negro I'm Congress, did not at
rrl the caucus, and Messrs. simpson
ana KEN were the only Populists, and
