CONGRESSMAN INTERVIEWED.
Its Hard to Get Positive Answers to
Direct Questions.

New York, June 0.--The World has
interviewed nearly all members Of
congress by telegraph on the follow
ing questions
|. Do you, with present information,
favor the repeal OF the sherman silver
law?
2. Do you faror an income tax
8. Do you favor the repeal Of the
state bank tax?
The World in reporting their ans
wers says, Many Of the answers
devi ate so far from the plain plain siyeso es ccr
"no" and involve so many qualifica.
tions that no tabular tatement would
fairly represent the opinions they ex-
press. The important facts shown are
that to the first question; "Do you
with your present information, favor
the repeal OF the Sherman silver law"
There are sc representatives who say
practically "yes." While only IS say
mo" OF the rest, many who qualify
their answer so strongly that they can
not fairly be placed in the affirmative
column, show plainly that their iDcli-
nations are in favor Of repeal. The
sentiment OF the Lower House on that
question seems to be overwhelming,
The World has already polled the
Senate on the silver bill and March
the sixth last printed a table showing
that body stood for repeal 80
against repeal 28, non-committal, 26.
It will be noticed that several who
were non.committal then are now in
favor Of repeal. There seems be no
doubt that nearly two thirds Of the
Senate will vote that way.
The newer question of income tax
develops an interesting situation.
| Many who speak freely as to the Sher-
man law, evade or ignore this question
} but forty-iye say squarly that they
: favor it, and forty-two that they dc
: not.
. The Southern and Western Con
: gressmen are the most numerous
! advocates ofsuch tax.
1 On the State bank tax question tht
!. opinion is almost as cne-sided, as il
+ regard to the Sherman BILL Many
! dodge it entirely but sixty say posi-
lively against repeating the tax, white
only thirty favor the repeal

HE WILL CALL THE EXTRA SES.
SION BETWEEN SEPTEM.
BER l AND Is.
The People Should Consider the Fi-
nancial Question Conservatism
and Faith All that is
Necessary.

Washington, June THE President
said this afternoon, in reply to ques.
ton by reporter Of the United Press,
that he intended to call an extra ses-
sion OF Congress not earlier than the
lst nor later than the 10Th OF Septem-
Der, unless unexpected contingencies
should necessitate an earlier meeting.
The President further said while
there has been neither mystery nor
secrecy in regard to my intention in
this matter, think it not amiss that
our people should be informed author
itatively that the time is at hand when
their representatives in Congress will
be called upon to deal with financial
condition which is a menace to the
country's welfare and prosperity. 1t
is well for the people to take up the
subject for themselves and arrive at
their own conclusions as to the merits
of financial policy which obliges US
to purchase idle silver bullion with
gold taken from our reserve. One
does not need the eye of a financier
to see that this gold thus subtracted
from the Governments stock is eager
ly seized by other nations for the pur-
pose of gthening their credit at
our expense.
1T does not need the art of states
manship to detect tne danger that
awaits upon the continuance of these
operations. Already the timidity Of
capital is painfully apparent, and none
of us can fail to see that fear and ap.
prehenslonin in monetary circles will ul
timately bring suffering to every hum.
BILE home in our land. / think that
between now and the meeting of Can
gress much depends upon the action
of those engaged in financial opera
tions and business enterprises. ON
vast national resources and credit are
abundantly sufficient to justify then
in the utmost faith and confidence
If instead of being frightened they are
conservative, and if instead of gloom
lily anticipating immediate disaster
they contribute their share of hope
and steadiness they will perform ,
patriotic duty q Id at the same timt
J protect their own interest. The thing
|, just now needed are GOODNESS anC
calmness in financial circles and study
and reflection among our people"

Topeka, Kan, June 6.-The publica,

ing Morton, Secretary OF Agriculture,
toJ T. Lee, prominent Kansasan,
who was active in his denunciation of
the Pople's party and fusion last fall,
has created a sensation among politi-
Grams in the Peoples party. Regard,
ing coalition with the PopuIists and
the money question Secretary Motion
says
Il am opposed to all coalitions
which requires the surrender Of any
principal enconomic or political. am
against the Sherman act, which com.
pels the purchase Of silver to tho
amount of4,500,000 ounces per month,
and also opposed TO the free coinage Of
The same silver at the rate of 81, ,29
an ounce, when is sells on the worlds
market at 81 cents an ounce. The
