ve0r0tary CurlIeloe MAIL Loadod DOWo
with Letters From Bankers, CommsR.
cial Men and Many Others.
WASHINGTON, June o8.--Secretary
Carlisles mail Wednesday morning was
loaded down with letters from bank
ers, commercial men and others, calling
on the president to convene congress- at
once in extra session to consider finan-
cinl legislation. The pressure is great,
but there is semi-official authority for
the statement that congress will not
be convened before September.
A cabinet officer, speaking of the
financial situation said Wednesday
morning that the country had been
brought to its present financial condi-
tion by the very men who were now
clamoring for an extra session. They
had reached the end of their rope and
could no longer profit and thrive by
speculation and wanted the govern-
ment to come to their relief that they
might again enter upon an era of
| speculation. There was no doubt
in his mind, he said, that the re-
peal of the Sherman law would bring
about much needed relief, whether
temporary or permanent, time alone
could demonstrate. Still there was no
certainty, even now, that congress
would repeal the Sherman law. The
house was more favorable to its repeal
than ths senate. He intimated that if
| the president were convinced that con-
gress would repeal the Sherman
law that body might be convened
in extra session before September,
but, he concluded, tho "Leaven is
working" Tho talk of the radical
silver men since they they have got
over the first shock of the news from
India is rather defiant. Most of them
declare that they are more than ever
determined to maintain the white
metal as money standard While adj
mitting that the demonetization in
India is a hard blow, at bimetallism at
the present ratio, they speak of 1t as a
conspiracy and insist that it is more
than ever important that this country
should stand by silver. They claim to
be firmer than ever in their position
and say that they intend to fight with
all their might to prevent the degrade
tion of silver being any greater.
The more conservative men, however,
regard this rs whistling against the
| Wluu. 1Ae pes1 jug ueut Is uuoO
many of these men who are known as
moderate silver men, whose votes for
silver in congress have given to silver
the strength which it has had against
the repeal of the Sherman law will be
induced to look upon the question diff
ferently under existing conditions, and
that, while the radicals will fight as
hard as ever against the repeal, they
will lose many of their followers in the
house and some of them in the senate.
Those men who are not actually we'd
ded to silver, but vote for free coinage
because their constituents think there
should be more money in circulation,
it is believed, find in the present situa-
ton; an excuse and q reason for voting
the Sherman law off the statute books,
perhaps even without any sort of a SUBJ
stitute rs compromise. Meanwhile
the market price of silver is sinking to
a very low point

A Balance of Two Millions on Hand.
WASHINGTON, July 1.-Treasury Of
ficials were deep in tho mysteries Of
figures Friday, closing up the vast
money accounts of the government for
the fiscal year 1S92-93. The figures,
which will be officially proclaimed Sat-
urday, will show in round numbers
that the receipts for the year have ag-
created 1886, 1000, ZOO, while the expendi-
lures will foot up 1888, 600, 600, leaving
q susplus of receipts above expendi-
lures of 50 100000.
This was the estimate submitted by
Secretary Foster to congress as the
probable surplus for the fiscal year
closed Friday, and results prove it to
have been prophetically accurate. In
this estimate, however, Mr.. Foster did
not take into account the payment Of
the Cherokee Indian claim of %, ,0O0, 900.

Right to Remove n Public OHlcial Before

WASHINGTON, June 30.-The question
of the right of the president to remove
n public official before the expiration
of his term Of four years, without as
signing cause, comes up in a new phase,
differing from the points raised in Ala.
bama recently. Certain old officials in
that state set up the claim that the
president had no power to remove them
before the end of their terms. One cd
them was the old United States attor
ney, who refused to give way.
While the court did not render any
decision, it cut the Gordian law by
simply recognizing the new appointee
and refusing to listen to the old United
States attorney.

BY A. G. Warner, President of tho Bimetal-

WASHINGTON June 3O.-Mr. A. G.
Warner, president of the Bimetallic
league, is in Washington, and in an in
terview Thursday night said: "Mr.
Cleveland is attempting to influence
the members of congress to desert their
principles and to become recreant to
their avowed advocacy to the silver in
terests of the country by withholding
patronage from them until they have
been whipped into line and have yielded
promises to aid in the future degradation
of silver. Mr.. Cleveland, however, is
making the mistake of his life and
strong efforts will shortly be made
to counteract the results of these
methods.
cat the meeting Of the Bimetallic
league here to be held soon, resolutions
will be adopted calling attention to
these attempts of the president to Sc
cure assistance in his fight against sill

pointing powers and censuring him for

dent in this way that will react to the
advantage of thewhite metal"
Mr.. Warner is still sanguine of tho
future of silver and Thursday evening
says that the darkest pages of its his
tory are now being written and that if
it can be saved from ultimate demone-
tization it's future will be brighter
than it's past. He states that the BIZ
metallic league at it's meeting will
urge the country to stand by silver
standard, even if it has to establish a
money standard of it's own that shall
be recognized in none of the other
countries if they reject the bimetallic
standard. He believes this country is
large enough to stand alone in this
matter and that it can manage to get
