NEW YORK, June 28.-While, accord

Of character calculated to inspire con-

justified the belief that the outlook was
brighter than it was Monday. One Of
the rlamors was that the president was
going to call an extra session of con-

silver law, the reason for the change
from September to July being the &C
ton Of the Indian government in clos
ing the India minis to private coinage
Of silver. The question was being dis

Drexel, Morgan & Co. were going to

exchange amply warranted imports Of
gold if there we're enough exchange OBJ
tainable at the figures quoted. Brown
Bros. & Co. sold demand bills at g. IS,

CHICAGO, June 28.-The silver cues
ton, brought to such q commanding
place in finance by tho action of India
in stopping the free coinage Of silver,
continues to agitate the business men in
Chicago. Clinton B. Evans, editor of
The Economist, said:
I'm regard to the action taken by the

portant financial event of recent years.
It forces the issue at once, and will
compel immediate action BY congress
as an imperative measure of self-de-
fense."
]. D. Mitchell, president Of the u
linois Trust and Savings bank, saw no
occasion for alarm. He thought that
the position taken by India would force
this government to retire from its false
position as compulsory purchaser Of

PROVIDENCE, r. l., June 2S.-Presi-
dent Andrews of Brown university, and
who was one of the American delegates
to the Brussels conference, in an inter-
view in regard to the action of the In
dian government stopping the free
coinage of silver, said:
1T is impossible that this scheme
should bring any relief to the silver
situation in England. It will make the
condition of foreign exchange little
more stable as between the traders of
England and the big merchants and
exchanges of Bombay and Calcutta.
That is to say, it will arrest the fall in
the intrinsic value of coin silver in In
dia, and give a stability between the
present money of India, which is sill
yer. and the gold money of England.
As for America, believe this action
will be fortunate. Silver will drop in
gold prices, and it may be necessary to
repeal the Sherman law. It will then
drop still more, and Great Britain will
then be forced to take concerted action
with other nations"

New YORK. June 28.-The Tribune
prints the following interviews on the
silver question::
Henry w. Cannon, president of Chase
National bank, and one of the American
delegates to the international monetary
conference recently held in Brussels,
said: The closing of the minis of India
against the free coinage of silver cannot
fail to depress the price of that metal,
and the action of the Indian govern
ment should conclusively settle the
question of the repeal of our silver
purchase act India has for many years
absorbed enormous quantities of silver.
The course of the United States is
clear. We must Immediately stop the
further purchase of silver and the issue
of silver purchase money. The govern
ment is pledged to maintain all our
money on gold basis, and some action
should be taken at once to remove any
feeling of distress or discomfort.
Edward o. Leech, cashier of the Union
National bank, and for several years
director of the mint at Washington,
and who is regarded as an authority on
coinage, after reviewing the situation
in India, said: It is a warning to the
United States that we cannot safely 20
farther in the absorption of depre-
ciated and depreciating metal into our
currency without seriously embarrass-
ing our financial system.
