The Tangle Unraveled.

AS a result of Attorney General Olney's
official opinion, the Treasury Department
has decided to permanently withhold the
$50, $50 of Worlds Fair souvenir half-dol
lars still retained at the Philadelphia
mint, because the Exposition Company
has violated the contract under which
the souvenir coins were obtained,
as set forth In the act of Aug.
5. 1892, viz: to close the fair on Sum
day. but an equal amount in ordinary cur
rency or coin will be paid direct TO the Ma
tional Commission for the benefit of the
jurors and the Committee of Awards as the
bills for these expenditures fall due, in
spite of the violation Of the Sunday agree
ment That violation is attributed to the
local corporation and not to the Ma.
tional Commission. AS the case now
stands the local corporation loses
merely the profit which it might
have made on the $50, $50 worth of SOU
venir coins The coins which are in the
mint, it is said, will be issued in the regu-
lar way. aud Of course get into general
circulation. he government will pay the
judges Of awards according to the act of
congress, but it will not permit the local
corporation the first use of that amount in
souvenir coins.

Object of the Move.
The Congress of the United States will
meet in extra session the eth day of Au-
gust This fact is settled by proclama-
tion issued by President Cleveland at
O'Clock Friday afternoon. 1t reads as fol-
lows:
EXECUTIVE MANSION WASHINGTON, D. C.
WHEREAS, The distrust and apprehension
concerning the financial situation which per-
wade all business circles, have already caused
great loss and damage to our people, and
threaten to cripple our merchants, stop the
wheels of manufacture, bring distress and pri-
walton to our farmers, and withhold from our
workingmen the wage of labor; and,
WHEREAS, The present perilous condition is
largely the result of a financial policy which
the executive branch of the government finds
embodied in unwise laws which must be exc
cuted until repealed by Congress:
Now, therefore, l, Grover Cleveland, President
of the United States, in performance of
constitutional duty do by this proclamation,
declare that an extraordinary occasion requires
the United States at the Capitol in the city of
Washington the 18th day of August next, at II
o'clock noon, to the end that the people may
be relieved through legislation from present
and impending danger and distress.
All those entitled to act as members OF the
Fifty-third Congress are required to take no
tice OF this proclamation and attend at the
time and place above stated.
Given under my hand and the seal OF the
United States at the city of Washington, on
the 30th day of June. in the year of our Lord
1893 and of the independence OF the United
States the one hundred and seventeenth.
