FINANCIAL LEGISLATION.
Congressman Bingham Favors Letting II &C
Over Till the 55th Congress.

Washington, Nov. IS. = Henry H.
Bingham, representing the first con-
gressional district in Pennsylvania, re-
spending to an interview on the mat
tiers likely to engage the attention of
the next and forthcoming sessions Of
Congress. expressed the opinion that
financial legislation must run over un-
til the 55th Congress.
THE attitude of members elect" said
Mr.. Bingham, lis not known. They are
for sound money. but the details COW
ering the change and revision of laws
are without limit. The Republicans
coming into control in the House in the
54th Congress were compelled TO recog
nize the deficiency in the condition of
treasury and legislate at once for
revenue that would cover the economi-
cal expenditures of the government.
The Dingley emergency bill. as a tenn
porary expedient, was passed. 1t is
now in the Senate, but is mere guess
work there to proclaim its disposition.
The personnel of the Senate continues
the same for the approaching session
There are many features and dis
ordinations in the Dingley bill that
will not be incorporated in a distinctive
Republican measure, and many para
graphs that might embarrass legisla-
ton in the 55th Congress, when legisla-
ton must be considered alb initio. 1t is
an open question if the President would
sign or let the bill become a law with
out his signature, for it strikes severely
many ofhis well-known and pronounced
low tariff views.
Il am in favor of an immediate ex-
ira session after March 4, 1897, and the
taking up of a new traiff bill The
business interests of the country have
been neither stagnated or disturbed
in the past, when the Republicans have
been concentrating tariff legislation.

the first payment, which was to have
been 500, 900, was such a dismal
failure that the whole scheme was
abandoned. Subsequently my cores
pondents gave me the details of the
whole business, which, as events
proved, were exactly true.
THE stories about the priests giving
the church plate, women sending their
jewels, and the like. are only echoes of
what has often happened In Spain
when there was high pressure for
money. 1t is popularity of the
sspaniards that under such circum-
stances a man will subscribe for, say.
$1,000, and when the time comes for
paying he will be unable to give 10 per
cent of his subscription. This is so
common there that no one is thought
any the worse of because of his failure
to keep his word. 1t has always been
so, and it will be the same now"
What is the condition in Havana,
according to the latest advices?"

mains ITO be seen, but it proves that
Weyler has lost confidence in their
allegiance to the Madrid government
DO you believe Maceo is in danger
of being surrounded by Weyler?"
Certainly not. Maceo can retreat
at any time, and he may be depended
upon to do so when he believes it
wisest not to fight. Maceo is in no
danger from Weyler. We may hear
interesting news from Pinar del Rio
any day now. Meantime the patriots
are doing splenddly."

KNIGHTS OF LABOR.
Tho Proposition Of Endorsing Free siIv Ct In
the Preamble Discussed.

Rochester, N. Y, Nov. 1S.-The gen.
sral assembly of the Knights of La
Dor gave up the morning session to a
discussion of the recommendations
embodied in the reports of the general
officers and the committee on the state
of the order. No action was taken.
The question of inserting in the pre-
.amble a free silver plank, as recon-
mended in the report of General Mas
ter Workman Sovereign, Is the most
serious question the assembly has yet
to settle. Since 1889 the general as
semblies have simply endorsed free
silver and it has never been made
part of the preamble. The questloh
was discussed at great length, TO-DAY,
each delegate taking part IN the oe-
bate. No action was taken.
The question of establishing de-
gree in the order to be known as
Minute Men was also discussed.
The silver question was again taken
up by the Knights. this afternoon, but
no decision was reached. The COM
mittee on state order presented the
following resolution which will be
acted on, tomorrow:
",rhat in the opinion of this general
assembly that while monetary reform
is fully provided for in the 18th and
18th plank of the preamble, the free
coinage of gold and silver at the rate
of IS to /, regardless of the action of
any other nation is important, looking
toward the ultimate success of the
system we desire. and We therefore en-
dorse the agitation for. and the sup
port of free coinage as a means to the
end we seek" This called out a long
debate.
A resolution is pending preventing
dual organizations from entering the
knights of Labor. No organization
will be permitted to hold a charter in
the Knights of Labor that holds
charter in any open trade union.
In his report rendered a few days
ago, Secretary treasurer Hays recon-
mended that the general executive
board be. instructed, as a Legislative
committee, to urge that instead of a
prohibitory tariff on glass. the tariff
be transferred to the immigrant glass
worker. so the industry might be re-
tanned in control of the native work
man and the foreign ones be kept out.
A resolution to this effect was passed,
today.
