measure of currency reform is sure to
pass even the house of representatives.
but the proba biIity is that one Will be
passed at the coming session. The
chief danger is in an inability of the
leaders to agree upon the terms of the
measure.
Whether or not a reform measure
can be pushed through the senate, in
case one passes the house, is q. disputed
question. Until just now the chances
have been considered very much
against it. In that body there is a pro-
lection majority, but also a silver ma
jOrfty. Unless some of the more con
servatives Republicans, like Carter,
WolcOtt and HansbrOugh, are willing
to join hands with the straight RepUb-
Iicans and the gold Democrats it will
reform.
Without doubt the earnest demand
of the business men of the country, as
expressed through the sound money
league movement Which held a cOnven-
tion at indianapolis, and in many other
ways, is having its effect upon con
gress.
The drift of events is certainly fav-
oring action in both houses of congress
at this session. The failure of the in
ternational bimetallic effort serves in
some measure to clear the atmosphere

CUBA AND FINANCES.
These Two Questions Discussed at
The Cabinet Meeting.

Washington, Nov. 2O.-The cabinet
was in session for two hours yesterday
devoted largely to a discussion OF the
annual reports of the different mem
bers. The more important reports
from the treasury, war and navy de-
partments have not yet been made
public, and these were given considera-
tiOn at the session The president
also discussed various features of his
message.
J. ]. McCook, of New York, called
during the cabinet meeting and saw
Secretary Porter.
The two subjects which engaged the
special attention of the ca binet were
those relating to the manner in which
the Cuban problem and the question
of the finances should be handled in
the presidents message. The opinion
was generally expressed that the Gu
ban situation as it effects the United
States was even more favorable than
could be expected and there was es-
pecial gOOd feeling over the release of
the crew of the Competitor. This and
OIher concessions were accepted as in
dfcating a genuine desire on the part
of the Sagasta administration to meet
the wishes of the authorities of this
termination
If there was any doubt expressed as

policy, 1t was not made public, but
there was no dissent from the opinion
that as long as the country should con-
tinue in her course of conCiliatiOn there
was nothing left for the administration,
but to encourage it
a wide variety of opinion was deveI-
oped among the mem bers of the ca BIZ
net as to the policy to be recommended
on the financial question. There were
4hueeu almost as many views ex-
pressed on the details involved in the
discussion of this question as there
