Special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, July S.-Because Of the
fact that President Mckinley failed to send
in his currency commission message to-day
the report was circulated that he had
abandoned the idea of a message at this
special session. The report is without
foundation although it is true that he has
decided to withhold it until it can be au-
thoritatvey ascertained what the radical
free-silver contingent intends to do in the
event of the receipt of the message by
Congress. 1t is in the power of Teller and
the eight nine Populists and free-silver
Republicans that he represents in this mat
ter to seize on the currency commission
proposition as a pretext to delay the tariff
bill, and threats to that effect have been
made in that quarter. Mr.. II. H. Hanna,
of Indianapolis, representing the constitu-
ency that was behind the Indianapolis
sound-money convention. will take it on
himself to see Mr.. Teller and possibly one
or two other free-silver leaders within a
day or two and ascertain from them what
their intentions are. Mr.. Hanna will not
represent the President or the adminlstra-
ton in this errand, but his intentions are
known at the White House and by Secre-
tary Gage. Whatever information he may
bring them will be gratefully acknowledged
There is excellent authority for the state
ment that the President has not aban-
doned his purpose of sending in a currency
commission message, and if he does not
change his mind it will go in surely before
the adjournment of Congress. There is no
expectation, as stated in these dispatches
last night, that the Senate will join the
House in passing a bill authorizing the
President to appoint commissioners, but
the administration and its friends in Con-
gress are unshaken in their belief that the
effort must be made, and made in good
faith. If Congress should fail to authorize
q commission then the committee dele
gated by the Indianapolis convention to
carry or the sound-money work will ap-
point a commission of its own. Such a
commission will work in harmony with the
administration, and it's efforts will not b
considered impertinent or the commission
an intrusion.

WASHINGTON, July S.-A story about
the late Senator Isham G. Harris, which
is omitted from the press sketch, illustrates
the answering personal honesty OF the
better than anything that can be said
about him. While Governor of Tennes-
see, which office he held during the early
part of the war of the rebellion, Senator
Harris seized and hid away about $500 COO
in gold belonging to the school fund. AT
the close of the war he went to Mexico
and then abroad, and two years later re-
turned to his State and restored the full
amount to the properly accredited author
mediately by the "carpet-bag officials,
who were then in charge, but Harris
hands were clean. He was very poor az
the time in worldly goods, having lost all
he had during the war, and 1t was with
difficulty that he could make a living in
the practice of his profession but 1T never
occurred to him to keep a penny OF the
public money, although in those days of
anarchy he could have taken the entire
amount with comparative safety.
Senator Harris was eighty-one years of
age instead of seventy-nine, as the reports
make him out a fact which is vouched
for by friend of his who knew him in his
boyhood days and served with him in the
General Bright, of the Fourth Tennessee
district. Next TO Senator Morrill,, of Yer
mont he was the oldest man in the Senate,
and the beginning of his congressional ca
reer dated further back than that of any
other man in Congress-
