contingency OF such session has been

Two reasons chiefly control the president
In this matter. He wishes the policy of the

lief to his advisors that peace will be

This subject coming u him SO soon, he

thing that Will lessen the present abun-
dant prospects OF success for his party in

For this reason ne wants the whole coun-

Another powerful controlling motive that
is actuating the president is his strong
desire TO have early and positive action
taken with regard 10 the currency question.
He is said 10 be not thoroughly satisfied
with the results OF the deliberations OF the
republican house caucus committee, which
recently formulated bill for Introduction

though the members Of that committee are
unusually reticent u is understood that
the committee has not in all respects fol-

Four strong points were brought out by
the president and the committee was thor
oughly acquainted with his position. These
