GROVER CLEVELAND.
There seems every reason to believe all
speculation as to the time Of the meeting
Of congress indulged in prior to p. m. to-
day. was guessing pure and simple. Il.
has been almost conciusively established
that the calling of the August session was
not determined upon until after midday
today. and. consequently. could not have
been communicated to any person in con-
idence or otherwise days in advance. The
plain facts appear 70 Be that the disturb
ance Of values arising from the uncsrtain-
ties OF the financial situation became 90
alarming that Mr.. Cleveland was as last
compelled to acknowiedee that nm
expected contingencies, neceasftating IN
earlier meeting of congress than the one
he spoke Of in the celebrated interview OF
June s, had arrived The action Of the
British government ID India haa brought
matters to crisis. Previous to that
startling event Cleveland manifested .
firm determination to adhere 70 his plan
Of calling congress ii September. When
he found today tssegsanse on his tabis not
only from the Eastern and Middle states.
but also from the South ana even from
some silver states. urging that congress
be called together 1T the earliest
day possible to end the uncertainty.
he determined to delay no longer. Even
in taking action the president took steps,
- far as he could, to prevent its being
known before the stock exchange closed.
so rs to avoid any appearance of exercising
undue influence on the stock market. The
effect OF the announcement upon the sena-
tors and representatives in this city was
marked. The proclamation. its effects and
the probable result in the action Of the
coming congress were the leading
topics Of conversation in the hotel
lobbies tonight. The action of the
president, il is apparent, meets with the
commentator and approval Of most Of
the members and politicians now in tho
city. and the opinion is almost general
that the Sherman act will be repealed.
This proposition has not been refuted
probably for the reason that the free silver
men who will conduct the fight against re-
peal have few members now in the civ.
The free silver men. however. wilt oppose
any attempt to repeal the Sherman law
with all their strength. The fact that
mines in the West have been closed will be
utilized as q weapon with which to force
any wavcring member in their ranks back
TO the fo.d.
The determination to call an extra ses
sion during the first week in August in
stead Of the .rst week in September, il is
understood. was only definitely arrived at
during this mornings cabinet session.
after giving full weight to the numerous
kilograms received from all parts OF the
country urging this course. The con.id-
Grafton which caused the president to
change his mind. was foreshadowed in a
remark made by one OF his cabine, officers
two days ago:
II the president received reasonable assuranees
that there was likelihood o. the p.ouap, re.
peal OF the so-callsd Sherman purchase law. he
be might be disposed 10 cali congress together
earlier tsaa he announced.
1t is inferred from the fac. that the
president has done so that he considers ne
has obtained the assurance desired. Most
OF the cabinet officers followed the p.esi-
dents example and left the city, or are
preparing to leave for brief vacations.
Those who remain say the presidents
proclamation speaks for itself and decline
to discuss the situation further.
