The Indiana State sentinel., 1893-07-05

WASHINGTON, June 30.-The presi-
dent left at 4:30 this afternoon over the
Pennsylvania railroad for Buzzard's
Bay. He will be absent from the capi-
tai three weeks or more, his stay de-
pending upon circumstances. Secretary
Lamont accompanied the president as
far as New York. The presidents de-
termination to leave the city was only
reached this morning, and his departure
so suddenly leaves a number of inn
pOrtant appointments agreed upon
unsigned and many senators and
representatives. who have recent
ly arrived in the lurch. 1t is un-
derstood that the president will transact
only the most urgent public business
while at BuzZard's Bay, and that if Of
fetal announcements are to be made
they will be given out at the executive
mansion in Washington.
At o'clock this evening the following
proclamation was issued:
Executive Mansion,
Washington. d. c., June 80 1898.
Whereas, The distrust and apprehen-
sion concerning the financial situation
which pervades all business circles have
already caused great loss and damage 10
our people and threaten To cripple our
merchants, stop the wheels of manu-
facture, bring distress and privatiOn to
our farmers, and withhold from our
worl1ingmen the wage of labor;
And whereas, The perilOuS condition
is largely the result of a financial policy
which the executive branch of the gov
ernment finds embodied in unwise laws
which must be executed until repealed
by congress:
Now, therefore, I, Grover Cleveland
Of ha
formance of a constitutional duty do
by this proclamation, declare that an ex-
traordinary occasion requires the con-
vening OF both houses Of the congress
Of the United States a. the capitol in the
city of Washington on the 7th day of
August next at II o'clock, noon, 10 the
end that people may be relieved through
legislation from present and impending
danger and distress. All those entitled
TO act as members of the Fifty-third con-
gress are required TO take notice of this
proclamation and attend at the time and
place above stated
Given under my hand and the seal of
the United States, at the city of Wash
tngton, on the 30th day of June in the
year Of our Lord one thousand eight
hundred and ninety-three. and of the
independence of the United States the
one hundred and seventeenth.
GROVER CLEVELAND"
Issuance of the proclamation before his
departure for Gray Gables The de-
termination to call the extra session the
first week in August instead of the first
week In September il is understood
was only definitely arrived at at this
mornings cabinet session after giving
full weight TO the numerous telegrams
received from all parts of the country
urging this course. Another consider
alton which caused the president to
change his mind was fOreshadowed in
the remark made by one of his cabinet
officers two days ago that if the presi-
dent received reasonable assurance that
there was a likelihood of a prompt re-
peal of the so-called Sherman silver pur-
chase law he might be disposed to call
congress together earlier than he had
announced. 1t is inferred from the fact
that the president has done so that he
considers he has obtained the assurances
he desires. Most Of the cabinet have fol-
lowed the presidents example and left
the city or are leaving the city for va
cations. Those who remain say the
presidents proclamation speaks for it
self and decline to discuss the situation
further
