Matters Before the Cabinet

Washington, July 20.-The president
today received the resolution adopted
ing him to use his good offices in the
settlement Of the coal strike, but has not
yet sent a reply. He has also received
many communications and suggestions
on the subject. but it is improbable
that he will tai any action in the mat
ter in the absence Of some definite plan
for the settlement of the strike. The
cabinet today discussed this matter in
formally. The only absentees from the
meeting were Secretary Sherman, who
is not yet well enough to go out, and
Secretary Alger. who is in .he west.
No questions of general interest were
discussed. 1t has been decided to send
in the currency message to congress
as o as the party leaders in the SEN
ate consider h time opportuac.
The semi-weekly messenger. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1897-1908, 1897-07-23

Washington, July 2O-The indications
when the senate adjourned today were
that a vote would be reached upon the
conference report on the tariff bill
some time during Thursday or at the
latest before the close of the week.
There may be a change in the condi-
ton which will postpone a vote, but
it is difficult to see what could cause
it. The opponents to the bill realize
that there is no possibility Of prevent
ing the adoption of the report and their
present purpose is only to secure what
advantage they can by exhibiting what
they claim are the inconsistencies Of
the measure. It is true that at one
time they had some hope of being able
to secure the recommittal of the bill,
but a thorough canvass reveals no
foundation for this hope. 1t develops
the fact that the republicans will vote
solidly for the report and that they
will be supported by Senators Jones, of
Nevada, silver republican, and Nc
Emery, of Louisiana, democrat, and also
probably Senators Mantle and Stewart,
silver republicans. They have also dis
covered that Senator Kyle, populist,
who is absent, has left strict i%nstruc-
lions thai he should not be paired.
With h adoption Of the report thus
assured, the democrats probably will
not attempt to long prolong the de-
bate beyond the arrival of Mr.. Tur-
ley, the new senator from Tennessee.
They will continue to ask for an ex-
PLANTATION Of changes made by the con-
ferees, but these will not occupy a
great deal Of time.
The general opinion is that the quo
RIM of tho sonata will Iico -1--x
soon after h disposal of the tariff
bill, but the determination of the sup
pOrters of the Harris Pacific railroad
resolution to secure a vote upon it be-
fore fina adjournment may delay that
contamination for some days.
