The FAITH of the President in the

for though, under that bill, the deficit in
revenue is increasing at the rate of nine
or ten million month, he says he il

great, and Mr.. Mckinley is its prophet.

as places can be made for.

IN THE SENATE.
Lively Scenes Before and After the Vote
Was Taken.

W az 1dhths
Washington, July 24.-The close of the
long and exciting struggle was near at
hand when the Senate met at 10 o'clock
this morning under the unanimous agree
ment of last night that the final vote be
1-sken at p. NJ. today. Only II Sena-
rs were on hand when the session
opened and several of these busted them
selves with clearing out their desks and
preparing for departure. There was no
prayer, as this was a recess session from
yesterday. Immediately after the Vice
President had called the Senate to order,
Mr.. Chandler moved an executive SEES
sion. He yielded, however, to Mr.. Bate
of Tennessee who desired to have q day
fixed for eulogies on his late colleague,
Mr.. Harris of Tennessee. January ID,
next, Was agreed upon and then at 10. 05
the Senate went into executive session.
The doors were opened at 1920 a. IN.
and Mr.. Allen of Nebraska resumed his
speech in opposition to the tariff confer
ence report and the bill in general.
BY this time the attendance of Senators
had increased to thirty and the galleries
were filling in anticipation of the final
scene in the tariff contest.
Mr.. Allen criticized the effects of the
bill on the farmers. He instanced barbed
wire, required by them for fences, on
which they were placed by the bill at
the cold-hearted mercy of the barbed-wire
trust. How different it was in the case
of the moneyed aristocracy. 1t was all
right, the Senator said, ironically, for
the "sharks and money gamblers of
Wall street. to make S32, 100000 out of
the sugar schedule since the Dingley bill
was first reported. 1t was all right for
Pierpont Morgan to make S27, 0OO,O00 out
of government bonds illegally issued I'M
der the administration of Grover Cleve-
land. The farmers ought to understand.
Mr.. Allen declared, that the legislation
of Russia is as beneficial to them as the
legislation of the United States.

President NICK inley's Message to Con

President NICK inley's Message to Congress.
has sent the following message to Con-
gress:
To tho Congress of the United States
In my message converting the Congress in
extraordinary session called attention to
a single subject. that of providing revenue
adequate to meet the reasonable and prop
er expenses of the government believed
that to be the most pressing subject for
settlement then. A bill to provide the
necessary revenues for the government;
has already passed the House of Represen-
tativcs and the Senate and awaits execu-
tive action.
Another question of very great import
ance is that of the establishment of our
currency and banking system on a better
basis which l commented upon in my in
augural address in the following words: |.
sFOur financial system needs some re-.
vision; our money is all good now, but it's
value must not further be threatened. It
should all be put upon an enduring basis,
not subject to easy attack, nor It's sta
bility to doubt or dispute. The several
forms of our paper money offer, In nv
Judgement, a constant embarrassment to
the government and imperil safe bal
ance in the treasury"
Nothing was settled more clearly at the
late national election that the determine
ton upon the part of the people to keep
their currency stable in value and equal
to that of the most advanced nations of
the world. The soundness of our curren-
cy is nowhere questioned. No loss can
occur to its holders. It Is the system
which should be simplifled and strength
ened, keeping our money just as good as
it is now with less expense to the govern
ment and tho people.
The sentiment Of the country is strong
" in favor of early action by Congress In
this direction, to revise our currency
laws and remove them from partisan
contention. A notable assembly Of bust
ness men with delegates from 30 states
and territories was held at Indianapolis in
January of this year. The financial situa-
ton commanded their earnest attention
and after two days session the convention
recommended to Congress the appoint
ment of n monetary commission.
/ commend this report to the considera-
ton of Congress. The authors of the re-
port recommend a commission "to make
thorough investigation of the monetary
affairs and needs Of this country in all
relations and aspects and to make proper
suggestions as to any evils found to exist
and the remedies therefor -
This subject should receive the atten-
ton of Congress at it's special session. 1t
ought not to be postponed until tho reg
ular session.
I therefore urgently recommend that
special commission be created, non-par-
tisan in its character, to be composed of
well informed citizens of different parties
who will command the confidence of
Congress and the country because of their
special fitness for the work, whose duty
Ii shall be to make recommendations of

and currency laws may be found neces-

thanks to the Vice President and a happy
response by him, recess was taken I'M
til s. As O'Clock with the understanding
that no business beyond that incident to
adjournment should be transacted at the
deferred session.
At & O'Clock the Senate took the recess

At s. 45 the Senate re-assembled. Only
10 Senators were present and the waning
interest was shown by untitled galleries.
Messrs. Allison and Turpie were APP
pointed to wait upon the President. They
speedily reported, MIR. Allison stating
that the President extended his congratu-
lations to the Senate and had no further
communication to make.
Resolutions of thanks to President pro

The Presidents message commencing
a currency commission was received, and
was, on motion of Mr.. Cullum, referred
to the finance committee.
The House bill for an international
monetary commission was referred to the
finance committee.
This closed the work. There was a
momentary lun and then the Vice Presi-
dent announced: Senators, it only re-
mains for me, under the resolution of the
Senate, to announce that the extra ses-
sion of the 18th Congress is at an end and
that the Senate stands adjourned without
day.
Immediately there was stir on the
floor and in the galleries a jingling Of
Senate bills announcing the close and a
final exchange of good byes. Soon the
chamber was deserted and the extra SEES.
