SHERMAN SILVER ACT.

Representative Tracy of New York
says 1t VIII be Repealed.
WASHINGTON, June San evening
paper has the following: General Tracy
OF Albany, n. Y, who is one of the most
conspicuous anti-silver leaders in Con-
gress, and who is regarded as one of the
strongest friends of the Administration
on the floor of the House, is in the city,
and saw the President to-day. General
Tracy says that the Sherman law will be
repealed at the coming session of Con-
gress without the passage of any sub
stltute measure or the adoption Of any
compromises with the free silver men.
The proposition to repeal this law will
have large majority, he says, in the
House, and there are forty-five votes for
1t in the Senate.
he also gave it as his opinion that the
proposed repeal Of the 10 per cent. tax on
the circulation of State banks would fail
of passage.
Coming from General Tracy, these
views are of more than ordinary value
He has carefully studied the situation,
knows every move that has been made,
and evidently speaks by the card.
Senator Jones Of Arkansas took an en-
tirely different view from that enter
tanned by General Tracy. THE Sherman
law can never be repealed in the Senate"
said he, 'unless some other measure
looking to the coinage of silver is substi-
tuted. 1 am opposed to the Sherman law
and spoke and voted against it, but L
would not vote for it's repeal unless some
other legislation was enacted favorable to
silver. 1 would be willing to have the
old Bland Act re-enacted, or some meas
ure like it, and would support the repeal
of the present law with that compromise

TO GO TO CONGRESS-
The Foreign Affairs Committee An.
ticipates Having to Deal With
Hawaiian Matters.
After Hearing From Willis Again the
President Will Likely Refer 1t to
Congress.
The Bill to Repeal the State Bank
Tax to Be Reported FavOrably In
the House.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-Prominent
members of the house committee on
foreign affairs evidently expect that con-
gress will be called upon 500 to take up
and decide the Hawaiian question.
Chairman McCreary has had an ex-
tended interview with the president,
and it is supposed that matters relating
to Hawaii were under discussion. Mr..
McCreary would say nothing about the
conference, but from suggestions he
made it is evident that he expected that
congress would deal with the matter.
a member of the committee said that
the president would not think of using
force while congress was in session, as
that would be an act of war. There has
been a theory advanced that after hear
ing again from Minister Willis and
learning positively that the queen can
not be restored except by the use of
United States troops, the precedent
will present to congress the case of the
queen as a wronged monarch whose
government had been overthrown by
this government, and assert that it is
now the duty of the United States to re-
store the former condition.
Even by Using Force.
This is one idea that has been advanced
by the friends of the administration.
There will be great opposition in the
house committee on foreign affairs to
the resolution of Representative Hit of
Illinois, Oh the ground thai it would not
be right, in view of further promised
communication from the executive on
the subject, for the house to give express
sion to the sentiments contained in the
Hit resolutions. Mr.. Hit will make
every effort to secure Il favorable report
from the committee on his resolution,
but as il will take at least three Demo-
cratic votes to bring about such a result,
il is doubtful if he will be successful.

Canada to the United has been discov-
cred by Congressman Baldwin. 1t was
introduced during the excitement of the
silver debate Of the extra session, and
was never noticed by the newspaper
men. The author of the bill is Amos
Cummings, a New York newspaper

asked about the bill, surprising that it
might lie a joke. Cummings said he
meant it, and he proposes to go
before the committee on foreign
affairs as soon as he can be heard.
and says he will present some strong
arguments for its passage. The bill III
templates that the Canadian provinces
shall apply for admission the same as
the territories of the United States, and
that they shall have representation i'll
the house and senate the same as other
states. The consent Of Great Britain is
to be obtained, and $4,000 is appro-
priated to defray the expenses of nego-
tiations. The bill also provides for com
mercial union with Canada until the
annexation feature can be completed.
