THE CABINET MEETING.
Its Action on tho silver Question Known
Only by Rumor.

WASHINGTON Oct. 20.-Evcry variety OF rumor
Is heard as TO the action OF the Cabinet to-day
on the silver question. Tho meeting lasted
two hours. all the mombers being in attend
ance. Two directly opposing views said to
have been derived from Cabinet officers. were
afterward put In circulation.
The first was that the President had become
convinced that 1t would not do to approve any
plan OF compromise which delayed the repeal
OF the purchasing clause OF tho Sherman act
longer than July ]. 1891, and that he was
willing to approve this plan.
Tho second story ran to the effect that the
President reiterated his intention to disap-
prove any bill which did not provide for the
immediate and unconditional repeal OF the
Sherman law. Between these two extremes
the gossips INDUCED in a wide diversity OF
statement to suit their individual tastes and
Wishes None Of the Cabinet members. when
directly approached would say anything for
publication as to what had occurred.
1t Is rumored that there Is now n scheme on
foot to formulate n silver bill which shall So
cure Democratic and Republican votes sufi-
cient to pass 1t over the Presidents veto. This
grows out Of tho belief that the President will
not approve OF any compromise whatever.
