OF the people, as shown by their suffrages,
desire and expect, and to the accomplish
ment Of which every effort of the present
administration is tledged. But while
tariff reform has lost nothing of its imme-
diate and permanent Importance, and
must in the near future engage the atten-
ton of Congress, it has seemed to me that
the financial condition of the country
should at once ana before all other sub
jects be considered by your honora BILE

provisions of the act passed on July IA,

Executive Mansion, Aug. Z 1898.
The reading was listened to with .ntens SO
interest and in dead silence. There were
a number of broad smiles on the Republ-
reform as a secondary issue just at this
time. and at the conclusion of the reading
the message was loudly applauded by the
Democrats.
The Michigan election case was then
taken up and Messrs. Weadock, Springer.
Brown, Heard and O'Ferral argued in
favor of Richardson, Weadock stating
that the action Of the Supreme Court OF
Michigan had clearly been outside of its

Oates of Alabama said the case was a
difficult one to decide. Two members
came from one district, each properly cer-
tilted. The matter should not be disposed
of In haste. and he suggested that the ques-
ton be referred to the Committee of Elec-
tlons when appointed.
Dlngley moved that the matter be re-
ferred to a special committee of five men,
bers. with instructions to report Within t. q
days, but his motion WAS lost-139 to 1874.
Then came the vote on the Republican
resolution declaring Belknap entitled to
his seat on p.Ima facie case and it was
defeated-ayes ia. noes 198-and OFFER

TOM REEDS VIEWS.
The Silver Law Is Not to Blame for
Present Conditions.

Present Conditions.
NEW YORK, Aug. S.-A Washington
correspondent telegraphs the following,
with the statement that it was written spe-
cially by Hon. Thomas B. Reed of Maine {:
Zone can hardly fail to be impressed
by the resemblance between the message
of the President to-day and that of the
last Democratic President who addressed
Congress of his party in 1867. While the
disaster is not now the same, the express
sion Of sorrow is very similar. While this
message Is impressive it is far from being
adequate to the occasion. While my votes
in the past show plainly that
agreed with much that he be says, l
should not he doing justice to my own
sense of truth if I did not record my en-
tire disbelief in the idea that the message
states the underlying cause of our dis
aster. The cause Of our misfortunes is
plainly the utter uncertainty that
reigns in the financial world concern
ing the tariff upon everything on
which all business can be based.
If you remove one element of uncertainty
there remain all the others. You cannot
readjust the economic principles which
govern this country without disaster, es-
pecially II that .readjustment be violent
and involve the wages and salary of every
citizen.

INDIA WAS WRONGED.
Silver Is Gaining Friends Among
the Tories.
r1embers of Parliament Bitterly De-
ment for Closing the Mints.
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

LONDON. Aug. S.-Gladstone announced
in the House of Commons to-day that the
Government intended to hold an autumn
session. The announcement was received
with loud cheering by the supporters of
the Government. The Premier added that
no adjournment would be had until the
remaining stages of the home-rule bill had
been passed and supply was voted.
Henry Chaplin asked leave to move an
adjournment of the House in order tina.
the change in the Indian currency system
might be discussed. He blamed the Gov
ernment for persistently Obstructng dis
cussiOn of the question, and charged 1t
with virtually mulcting the natives OF
India by tampering with their currency.
The closing of the Indian mints to the
free coinage of silver had necessarily led
to such fall in the value Of that metal
within the month as the world had never
before known.
There had been a tremendous wrong
done to the people of India, who held
enormous quantities of uncoined metal.
for by single stroke the~GoveFHment sfad
deprecated by 15 per cent the value of the
silver held by the population of India. A
more fragrant act Of public plunder had
never been perpetrated by a civilized Gov
ernment.
Ii the repeal by the American Congress
of the Sherman act should become inevita-
bic it would be partly due to the error
that had been committed in India. A
further fall in the prcs of silver must fol-
low the repeal of the Sherman act.
Frequently during his remarks Chaplin
was in terrupted by cries of Hear. hear!'
Chaplin demanded to know whether the
Government. before taking action in
India. had any communication with the
United States Government.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt, Chancel-
lor of the EXchequer, declined to enter into
a general argument. The course taken by
the Government. he said. was indicated by
the Royal Commission Of 1888. which
had pointed out the dangerous and mis-
chevous effect which bimetallism would
have upon India. The Government stood
by those views.
leader, said that it was something ap-
preaching lunacy for the Chancellor to get
up and tell the country he regarded with
absolute indifference what happened 10
silver.
Dadabhai Naoroji. the Parsee member
who sits as Liberal for the Central Fins
bury division, protested that the nativ,s of
India already felt the pinch of the change,
and tha: they would soon awake through
suffering to the wrong done them.
Sir William Harcourt moved closure OF
the debate, and the motion was carried
without division.

PLAN OF CAMPAIGN.
Cleveland Will Direct the Fight
Against the White Metal.
Action to Be Taken by the Gold Lead
ers Upon Hints Direct
From Him.
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 8.-The indications
are that the financial fight in Congress
will begin at once and that it will be
fought to finish. Investigations already
show that nearly two-thirds of the men,
bers of the House favor the question being
settled in committee Of the whole, without
reference to standing committee. Under
the rules the question would have first to
60 to the Committee on Coinage: but
there is a disposition to suspend the rules.
and it is believed assurances will be given
the silver advocates that they will be given
fair chance to debate the question in all
its phases, and that. with this understand
ing, they will consent to its immediate
consideration without reference to a COM
mittee.
The intention of the advocates of the
repeal of the Sherman act is to suggest
reasonable time for debate on all ques-
tions. with the understanding that vote
will be taken at the conclusion. This
course, it is understood, is with the con-
sent, if not the advice. of the President.
The plan is to have the free silver men
open the ball with bill embodying their
demands, then the ant-silver men will
present substitute bills embodying their
ideas, whereupon the battle will be Joined
and the struggle begun. Both sides are OF
the opinion that vote can be reached in
two weeks after the debate has begun.
Cochran of New York. representing the
anti.silver men. says they will not make
more than three speeches, leaving the rest
of the time to the silverites. 1t is hoped
by this means to prevent filibustering and
all parliamentary sharp practice.
Bland has given assurance that no at
tempt will be made by the silver nen to
filibuster.
Senator Carey of Wyoming has surprised
his silver friends by coming out fat-footed
in favor of the repeal of the silver clause
of the Sherman act Immediately and un-
conditionally. II Is intimated that Man.
derson of Nebraska and some others may
be driven to vote for it rather than delay
action.
1t is believed Springer will be retained
at the head of the Committee on Ways
and Means and Bland at the head OF the
Coinage Committee, in spite Of rumors to
the contrary.

COMMENT IN CONGRESS.
Mr.. Cleveland's Party Is Hardly Pre-.
pared to Follow Him.

WASHINGTON. Aug. S.-The message
of the President was received by CongfAss
with degree Of atten tion and earnestness
that has seldom been accorded to a state
paper. A notable fact was the general
absence of adverse criticism from party
point of view. and among those who have
reserved the expression of their Judgment
Democrats are quite as numerous "a Re-
pubicans. For Instance Voorhees,. chair
man Of the Finance Committee, declined
positively to be interviewed on the mes
sage. and Hill did the same thing.
German said: 1.-The message is a clear
cut statement of the Presidents views
All the comment that l have heard in the
Senate is that it is as terse and clear
statement as could have been made"
Senator Allison, one Of the leading finan.
cial lights of the country. was very con.
servative. He remarked: 1T is a very fair
message. He states truly that the Sher.
man act was a compromise between the
free-silver men and those of opposite
views" Senator Allison thought the tariff
references of the President were calcu-
lated to disturb business further at a verv
critical time.
Senator Jones Of Nevada said: 81 think
the message is illogical. and that it does
not analyze the situation at ALL The Sher.
man law has nothing to do with the pres-
ent situation of affairs. The message is
what was expected, aud will do little to
help the cause which the President cham.
pions."
Senator Teller said: "The simple asser-
ton OF the President that the present
financial condition is due to the Sherman
law does not make it so. His premise is
wrong and his conclusions naturally fall
to the ground"
Said PETER: 1.-THE bankers will regard
it as perfection and the farmers and work
men will see in it further reduction of
the products of their farms and their la.

ON WALL STREET.
Bears Try to Break the Market OF
the Message,

the message.
New YORK. Aug. S.-Immediately after
the Presidents message reached the street
and considerably before the average ope-
rator had the opportunity to read, not to
speak OF digesting it. drive was made
against the whole stock market. It was
the old device with the bears to sell on a
piece off bullish information to kill the
effect 1t proved successful once more and
some long stock was sold by holders who
had not the time to read the message and
concluded from the drop in prices the
document was disappointing. AS matter
Of fact. however. it fully met the expecta-
tions of leading bankers and conservative
Wall-street houses who have been most
desirous that silver legislation should take
precedence of everything else and that
Congress should adjourn as speedily as
possible after repeating the Sherman sill
yer law. Industrials bore the brunt Of the
attack and fell TO AZ. Railway and
other stocks declined u to IA.

CALIFORNIA; DELEGATION.
Geary Is the Only One Who Likes
the Message.

WASHINGTON. Aug. S.-The Presidents
message was. Of course. variOusly regarded
by different members of the California
delegation. Geary seems to be the only
member from California. however, who
expresses genuine admiration for the doc
ument. He favors the unconditional re-
peal of the Sherman purchasing act. Ma
guire does not like the message, as he is a
silver man. II the Sherman act is repealed
he wants good silver substitute. CANT
netti likewise and Marion Cannon thought
that if Cleveand's views were adopted the
country would go to the bow-wows. Mr.
Loud is opposed to repeal and also op-
posed to free coinage under present condi-
tions. while Bowers will oppose uncondi-
tional repeal and Hilborn is likewise so
inclined. Senator White will oppose un-
conditional repeal, and Senator Perkins Is
nOn-cOmmittal.

Bourke Cochran said: Admirable, ad-
mirable. Even the silver men must admit
that it is the most perfect prese entation Of
the question that could he made"
Bland remarked: las nearly as l could
make it out it was plea for single gold
standard because England maintains 1t.
If England would coin silver probably
this country would do so. We seem TO
have lost the spirit Of 1776."

REPUBLICAN CAUCUS.
Democrats Must Take the Initiative
at All Points

WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-The Republican
Senators held caucus to-day and dis
cussed the situation from various points
OF view. No fixed policy was determined
upon. 1t was agreed that the Dem ocra IS
must assume the responsibility for all that
was done. but at the same time the Repub-
licans viii! be guided by patriotic impulses
and will do what they think proper to help
the country in remedying the evils that are
believed to exist. 1t is probable that an
other caucus W iii be held soon.
