WARRINGTON. July 30.-AmonR congress-
mon who have arrived here so far the
opinion seems TO be unanimous that the
Sherman law must be repealed. but what
shall follow is an unknown quantity.
Representative Genry, of California, said
to-day he had always been opposed to the
Sherman act. ut is vicious" he said,
'and time does not improve II. OF course
some subsequent legislation will be naces-
sa'y. but am not prepared now to say
ever. the Sherman law will 90 and
in its stead We will have something of bene-
fit instead of ham," Gsary added that In
place of tho present tariff law the chances
are there will be one new from top to bot
tom, with very radical changes in the
schedule. The country, he said. expects
this. Senator Quay. of Pennsylvania. also
thouRht the silver pu, chase clause Of the
sherman act should be repealed.
Ex-Speaker Crisp arrived in the city this
evening. Speaking generally Of the condi-
tion Of Affairs in the south. the ex-speake,
says there is q feeling of distrust and the
Same hard times that characterize tho
bs speedily found by the bankers Of the
cotton to market When asked whether
the distruss was due to the
existence of the Sherman law,
Crisp replied II was certainly
due TO want of public confidence, but sx-
actly what caused this condition he was not
prepared TO say. Crisp was not inclined TO
talk freely on the probability OF tho repeal
of the Sherman law. and does not say
whether he believes it will be repealed or
not. Crisp would not saw how he stood
upon the proposition 10 repeal the law and
enact a substitute providing for the free
coinage OF American silver al an in
creased ratio. II was only after full
consideration of the different propositions
that might be made. that Crisp thought .
final result would be reached. but what the
result would be he would not venture TO
predict. While the ex-speake1 has given
the composition of tho committee more or
less attention he said he would
probably not announce them for two
weeks after congress began. In the mean
time he desired to confer with meMbers as
to their wishes. Crisp expects the prtsi
dent to bring the tariff prominently before
congress. either coupled with tho question
OF finance or In q subssquent messngs
bearing directly uron the subject. He
looks forward to q long and arduous ses-
sion Of congress.
