WASHINGTON BUDGET.
Opinions Respecting the Berlin Sil
yer COnference-SenatO HOar
Discussing the GOggle Sched-
ule-Rest Prescribed for
the President.

Washington, D. c., June 12.-The ad
iournment of the Berlin silver commits
sion without making any definite recon-
mendations has been the subject of more
or less comment among senators and
members who take an interest in the sill
YER question. The result is somewhat of
a disappointment to those who have
been hopeful that the commission would
pave the way for an international confer
ence, which would proceed with the CO.
operation of Great Britain, but the advo-
Gates of an independent financial policy
in this country do not share in this dis
appointment.
TELLER's VIEWS ON THE SUBJECT.
Referring to the announcement from
Berlin, Senator Teller said that he
regretted the fact that no recommends
tion favorable to silver had been made.
"The commission was," he eaid, 'the out
growth of discomfort among the agra
rian classes and was appointed by the
government in response to strong pro-
silver sentiment in the agricultural Sec
tions of Germany. Inever understood it
was expected to more than collect in
Ill IOkdIu W bl1C blbudblOu, VI
if it was the original purpose that the
commission should make recommenda-
tions think that was abandoned some
time since. The proceedings of the COM
mission are public, understand, and of
course will be of benefit to the silver
cause to the extent that they educate the
masses of the German people,"
VIRGINIA REPUBLICANS HAVE NO HOPE.
The Virginia Republican committee,
representing the different congressional
districts of the state, to-day adopted a
resolution stating that the committee
deems it unwise to call congressional con-
ventions for the purpose of making Re-
publican congressional nominations in
Virginia for the autumn elections. E1-
Senator Malone says this attitude of the
Republicans of the state is the natural
outcome of existing affairs and for his
part he will not cast another ballot under
the present circumstances.
To-DAY's SENATE.
At the opening of the senate to-day
several bills of minor Importance were
taken from the calendar and passed. The
consideration of schedule "K," wool and
manufactures of wool, of the tariff bill,
which was reached when the senate ad-
journed last night, was taken up. SEN
ator PETER offered an amendment trans
ferring the wool hair Of the camel goat,
alpaca goat and other like animals, on
the free list in the bill, to the dutiable
list, restoring the Mckinley bill classifi-
cation but scaling down the ratios prac-
tically one-half.
GOOGLE SCHEDULE.
Under an agreement made yesterday,
the senate went back to paragraph ninety
eight, imposing duty of 40 per cent on
spectacles, goggles, opera glasses and
other optical instruments, which was
passed over at the request of Senator
Hoar. Senator Hoar then moved to in
crease the rate to 60 per cent (the present
rate) and took the floor in advocacy ofhis
amendment.
MUST REMAIN QUIET.
President Cleveland's ailment has not
yet yielded to treatment as rapidly as
was expected. To-day DR.. O'Rielly
recommended that he keep as quiet as
possible and avoid all physical effort
This precaution is all the more prudent
in view of the very warm weather. The
doctor expressed the opinion that his
patient would be about in day or 30 il
he remains quiet.
