THE PRESIDENT
May Send . Special Message to the Com
grsss Recommending the Creation of .

Commission to lust tho Currencr.
WA snINGroN, July 3-The question
whether the president will send
special message to congress recon-.
mending the creation of n currency
commission will be definitely decided
next week.
this time to send special currency
message to congress, regarding him
self as in "a considerable measure
pledged Ia this course. In fact is was
semi-uilicially announced at the white
house late Friday afternoon that such
n message would be sent To coli grcss
next wcra but some the preSi.
dents most influential advisers
on financial questions are
opposed To n message a. impolitic at
this time owing To hostility to a com
mission ON tae part of congress and
the final determination rs stated will
not he reached until Mr.. McKinlcy's re-
turn from Canton. The executive COM
mittec q the indianapolis sound money
convention have been actively advo-
rating the commission scheme ever
since the advent of the present admin
istration. 1t had also the SYM
patny of the president, who com
mite himself to il in his
inaugural. President Mckinley. how
ever, did not care to recommend it To
congress while the tariff bill was pend
ing lest it might complicate and delay
action upon the measure. Hut all
along the chief difficulty which pre-
scented itself to those who favored
a commission for the investigation
of the currency system has been
the opposition it would encounter
in congress. While bill for
the creation of commission could
easily be passed in the house
where factious opposition would Toe
unavailing against the operation of a
cloture order that wouli bring il to a
vote, such opposition in the senate
might b almost intermediate Several
of the silver senators have openly
avowci their unaltcrable hostility &c
the creation of a commission, and sen.
ator Teller, % Colorado. has declared
that he would remain here
until ID 'cembcr Ia defeat it. This
being the situation il is understood
that some o the members of the exec.
u;ive committee of the indianapolis
convention are now inclined to be-
lieve that il woIli perhaps be a mis-
take to press their request for the ere.
alton of commission by congress
the better and wiser thing to do.
some OF them now think. would be 70
Withdraw their requests for com.
mission and to use the provisional
power vested in the committee by the
indianapolis convention and them
selves se,ect a commission to investi-
gate the currency question. and presen,
their conclusions through the public
press If those conclusions were such
as the administration could subscribe
to they could he made the basis of an
administration measure, so modified
as Secretary Gage, conducting an in
dependent investigation, might aug
gest.
