WASHINGTON, April I2.-It is now cer-
tain that several members of the Admin
lstration will take prominent part in
the political campaign over the money
question that will be carried on in differ
ent States. The invitation of the Chicago
business men to President Cleveland
asking him to make an address in that
city on the subject of the currency has
been followed by intimations from other
places that the members of the Cabinet
were wanted to make similar addresses
IN order that the position of the Admin
lstration may be placed before the country
IN forcible way. The President has
not yet answered the Chicago invitation,
but If he finds it impossible to 90, it ia
expected that he will decline in a letter
expressing clearly his views on the SUBJ
ject of money.
1he campaign within the Democratic
party against the free coinage movement
Will, no doubt, take its keynote from the
1resldents letter and the speeches which
may De made by mem bers of the Cabi-
net. The campaign Will be directed
against the free coinage OF silver at l6 TO
l, ana the assertion will be made that
such coinage would mean silver mono
meta!Ilsmr and would be disastrous to
the business interests of the country,
great and small, and extend to every
class and condition, no matter in what

The City Controller Denies That There
is a Shortage.
CHICAGO, April 12.-City Controller
Wetherell denies a sensational statement
credited to him that the city finances are
about $6,O0O,000 short. The Controller
says the floating debt of the city is about
$4,000,000, an amount no larger than usual
for some time past at this season of the
year. The tax in process of collection is
ample to much more than meet it. For
several administrations the city has run
behind and perhaps no more the past
year than any previous ones. AS result
of the improved method under the new
administration of Mayor Swift, now be-
ginning, it is expected this will be recti-
ted, and the floating debt will be nearly
if not altogether wiped out.

FRESNO, April 12.-Several Jurors in
the Sanders forgery case complained of
feeling ill, and asked that the attorneys
bring the trial to a conclusion as soon

not to talk about the case or read the
