present situation, but 1t is certain any
such measure will give proper recognition
10 silver"
The views of Bland and his associates
led many members 10 believe that the re-
verse of the day might be turned into vic
tory by making concessions to the silver
men. Their uotes would be much more
than sufficient to carry the rule and the
bill. 1t would be such radical step. how
ever, in bringing silver into the question
that the conservative men did not regard
the plan as feasible. 1t was. however, the
main topic of prospective action.
On the Republican side the opinion was
general that the defeat of the rule ended
all chance Of currency legislation in Con-
gress. Reed would not enter into de-
tailed discussion on the turn of affairs.
The Republican leaders in the House
assert that thew had agreed to offer no
parliamentary obstruction to vote il they
had been permitted TO vote first on the
ninth and tent sections of the bill. Reed
was on his feet for recognition with
draft of a rule in his hand providing for
vote on the bill according to this plan, that
is, voting for the ninth and tenth sections
first. The Republicans would have all
voted for this rule. Walker Of Massa-
chusetts. who had led the Republican OPP
position, had determined to withdraw his
bill which he had previously notified the
House he would offer as substitute and
which was tha only plan proposed by a
Republican. He says also that no amend
ments would have been Offered to the Car
Isle bill by the Republicans, although ali
of them would have voted against the BILL
'.The collapse is complete" said Walker,
speaking OF the days events. There will
be no financial legislation by this Con-
gress unless the Senate sends bill to the
House, which seems improbable. Twenty
OF twenty-five members voted for the pre-
vious question who would not have voted
for the BILL"
When the possibility of the Republican
Congress being called in extra session was
spoken of Walker said: III Congress
gives ample authority, and gives it wisely,
to the Secretary of the Treasury to issue
bonds, both TO make gold payments ami
supply the treasury deficiency, an extra
session may be avoided, but at great ex-
pense to the Government. II the treasury
is given no additional authority for the
issuance of bonds, with the prevailing
want of confidence in the man agement of
the national finances by the administra-
ton, 1t will njure the business interests
of the country ana fear an extra session
will have to be called. As 10 the effect on
business of an extra session, if one is
called, it will give confidence to the coun-
try rather than be an injury. II it is de-
layed, as the extra session of this Con-
gress was delayed, the ad minlstration will
probably have financial panic Oh its
hanis"

and Edwin F. FreIhwen the bondsmen of j.

The money was paid out two years ago, just
before the Mechanics Fair opened and Firth
says he was given a receipt for it. When his
books were exported they were declared cor

for the 5000 had been written. AS all moneys
expended by the institute are supposed to have
vouchers on file, signed by the finance com.
mttee, TO offset the amounts. dispute arose
over this 5000.
The money was needed 10 pay off workmen
in the Pavilion, but no provision was made for
paying wages. Treasurer Smith got 5000
