Satolli is to ht. | be recognized in an official capacity as the American representative of the pope: “You an quote me as saying this: Several weeks ago Baron Fava presented his credentials to the President as Italian ambassador to the United States and they were accepted. The State Department has not recelved, either before or since that time, any in- formation whatever that another person than Baron Fava desires to be ized as a representative of Haly.” None of the officials of the State Department place any credence in the report that the pope or Mgr. Satolli for him intends to ask dip! matic recognition from the United States. i —— Capt. Tassin’s Retirement. By direction of the President an army retiring board has been appointed to meet at the Washington barracks, District of Columbia, for the examination of Capt. Augustus G. Tassin, twelfth infantry, aud such other officers as may be ordered be- fore it. The detail for the board is as fol- lows: Col. Henry W. Closson, fourth artil- lery; Major John 8. Billings, surgeon; r Jacob B. Rawles, fourth artillery: jor Joseph K. Corson, surgeon; Capt. William Ennis, ‘fourth artillery; "| First Lieut. Albert S. Cummins, adjutant fourth artillery, recorder.

After considerable delay the cruiser Charleston left Hampton Roads Saturday afternoon for a three years’ cruise on the Pacific station. She will stop at Rio de Janeiro for coal and instructions as to her future movements. Unless It shall be found more convenient to send elther the Alliance or the Philadelphia the Charles- ton will continue her cruise to the Ha- waitan Islands to relleve the Boston, which it is desired to send to San Francisco as soon as possible. It is possible, however, that the gunboat Yorktown, now on her Deeg the Pacific, may be selected for this service. —_ ‘The President Sunday. President Cleveland spent yesterday at his country home in company with Secre- tary Lamont. In the course of the after- noon Secretary Gresham drove out and had @ short talk with the President. The gen- tlemen found the breezes that blew over the heights much more agreeable than the most stifling heat that prevailed in the city. rawford's Application. Maj. R. C. Crawford of Alabama has applied at the Treasury Department for appointment as chief of the revenue ma- rine division of the treasury. The office is now filled by Capt. Shepard of the revenue marine service, and a new appointment | ould necessitate his transfer to some other | duty. Vice President Stevenson. Vice President Stevenson arrived here yesterday morning from his home in Bloom- ington, IN, and sought the quarters at the Ebbitt House occupied by him when he came to Washington last March to be inau- gurated. He spent the day quietly at the hotel and last evening went out for a short time. The Vice President had nothing to add to the statement made by him to inter- Viewers while enroute to this city, that he suld not tell what Congress would do, and that he hoped the special session would be a short one. Mr. Stevenson spoke enthusl- astically of his experiences and observa- tions while on his recent trip to the Pacific coast and appears to be in excellent health. The Senate Remains in Session But a Short Time. OTHER HOUSE OFFICERS. . ‘The opening day of the Fifty-third Con- gress brought with it a most welcome and refreshing change in the weather. The cool breezes replaced the torrid heat of the pre- vious week and supplemented the improved ventilating fans, making the temperature of the House and Senate chambers quite endurable, notwithstanding the crowds of Spectators who, as usual, packed the gal- leries and thronged the corridors. Among the latter there were many who were thor- oughly un-American. At this season of the year there appears to have been a sudden impetus In the foreign travel to the world’s fair, and the European tourist is a familiar figure on the streets of Washington. Many of these were about the Capitol at an early hour anxious to see what one typical En- glishman called our “Hamerican ‘Ouse of Commons.” Field glasses were plentiful, and even the kodak fiend was present en- deavoring to get a shot at some of the lead- ing political figures in the coming lexisla- tive drama. In the galleries the presence of @ large number of Jadies, attired in the light and fleecy garments of summer, lent a bril- Maney to the picture. The members’ galler- jes were filled with the families of the leg- islators, and it was noticeable that those of the new members occupied the more promt- nent seats. A Brief Senate Session. The Senate had but a brief session. The usual routine business incident to the as- semblage of a new Congress was transacted and then amid the silence with which mor- tal honors the dead Senator White of Call- fornia arose in his seat and announced the demise of his colleague, the late Senator Leland Stanford, at the same time asking the Senate to adjourn out of respect to his aio fa ‘The session lasted but half an yur. The chamber with its dressing of matting instead of the heavy carpet looked particu- Jarly cool and inviting, and its pleasant ap- pearance was remarked upon by the Sena- tors as they obtained the first glimpse of it. As the arrival of the Senators was delayed until the last moment, but few of them had met until they reached the Capitol, and the short time before Vice President Stevenson Tapped the body to order was devoted to the usual friendly greetings. Crowd in the Galleries. The galleries contained their customary crowd, each being filled until the curious mass swarmed over into the corridors be- yond. In the crowd the light summer gar- ments were in decided contrast to the som- ber array h o1 ily 1a seen on such an occasit it has been many years since Congress was called together in the middle of summer, when such clothing was possible. Though there were some flowers on the Senators’ desks, the floral display Was not as conspicuous as is ordinarily the case, being due no doubt to the fact that most of the new Senators were sworn in at the extra session in March, when their friends expressed their good will by send- ing flowers to the desks of the Senators. There was no doubt that a quorum was present, for though on Saturday aight the number of members of the upper body who were in the city was quite small the ar- rivals since then were very numerous, and when the Senate was called together it was noticeable that but few seats were vacant. THE SENATE. The Fifty-third Congress of the United States was opened at noon today In extra- ordinary session. The occasion attracted crowds to the Capitol. ‘The Senate chamber was in its midsummer attire, the floors being laid with matting. Half a dozen of the desks of Senators on the democratic side were provided with handsome flowers. The galleries were filled with ladies in ight summer costume, and the floor was open to visitors up to within a quarter of 12 o'clock. One of the first Senators to put in an appearance was Mr. Stewart of Nevada, and his desk was the central point of attraction for Sena- tors of both parties as they arrived. Mr. Gorman was one of those and he and Mr. Stewart had a most friendly greeting and a long chat. Mr. Mills of Texas was in his seat about the same time that Mr. Stewart came in, but there was no greeting between the two. Mr. Teller of Colorado arived at about five minutes before 12 and, at the same moment, @ magnificent basket of flowers was laid on his desk. He was most cordially welcomed by many Senators. Just before the stroke of noon Mr. Colquitt was wheeled into the chamber, but before he could be gotten to his chair the Vice President's gavel fell, @ hush came suddenly on the talk and con- fusion and the chapiain of the Senate, Rev. Mr. Butler, opened the session with prayer. The prayer was (partly) as follows: Re- member Thy servant, the President, and the members of his cabinet and bless the two houses of Congress now assembling. And so guide their counsels that the best interests of the people may be advanced in this time of doubt and adversity and hes- ‘The Vice President then directed the sec- retary to read the proclamation of the President convening Congress in extra- ordinary session and the document was read by Mr. McCook, the outgoing secre- tary. New Senators Sworn In. Senator Quay (Penn.), who had been ab- sent during the last session of the Senate, and had, therefore, not taken the oath qualifying him for his new term, had the oath now administered to him, as also had Senator Pasco of Florida, re-elected by the legislature of the state Since the close of last session. The Vice President latd before the Senate a communication from Mr. Beckwith of Wyoming, stating that, owing to a com- bination of circumstances over which he had no control, he had been obliged to hand in his resignation to Gov. Osborne of Wyoming, of his appointment as United States mator. The communication was placed on file. On the suggestion of Mr. Gorman, the oath of office wi administered to the new secretary of the Senate, Mr. Cox, who was escorted to the desk by the retiring sec- retary, Mr. MeCook. Resolutions were then offered and agreed to, to inform the House of Representatives that a quorum of the Senate had assem- bled and was ready to proceed to business, to notify the House and the President of the election of Mr. Cox as secretary of the Senate, fixing the daily hour of meeting at noon, and for the appointment of a com- mittee of two Senators to join a like com mittee on the part of the House to wait upon the President and inform him that both houses are in session and ready to receive any communication he may be eased to make. Senators Harris and Sherman were appointed as such committee on the part of the Senate. Senator Stanford's Death Announced. Mr. White of California rose and said that it was his painful duty to announce the death of his late colleague, Mr. Stan- ford. He should, at a date to be fixed here- after, request the Senate to set apart a day ‘for such remarks in regard to Mr. Stanford's memory as might be deemed proper, and should content himself now with moving, as a mark of respect, that the Senate do now adjourn. ‘The motion was agreed to, and the Sen- ate, at 12:30, adjourned. (Continued on Sixth page.) How Mr. Cleveland Will Deal With the Silver Question. Repeal of the Sher- man Law—Attitude of Leaders. It 1s exceedingly unlikely that the Presi- dent's message will be sent to Congress today, but unless some unforeseen hitch should occur in the organization of elther House or Senate, it will probably ga in at noon tomorrow. Statements as to its length and contents are necessarily more or less conjectural. From sources belleved to be well Informed it is learned that the message will be not more than two columns in length and that {t recommends the un- conditional repeal of the Sherman act, Pro- silver democrats express themselves as agreeably surprised at what they under- stand to be the moderation of the Presi- dent's recommendations. They are in- formed that he recommends the uncon- ditional repeal of the Sherman act. He, however, recognizes that silver Is one of the money metals of this country which must be maintained, but points out that with the present attitude of European countries the proper ratio between gold and silver cannot be maintained by this country alone. ‘Therefore, he does not favor the coinage of silver under present conditions except for subsidiary purposes. He thinks the European nations who are now depressing the price of silver can by the suspension of its coinage in this country except for subsidiary purposes be coerced into an International agreement more favorable than we have heretofore had. He fs in favor of silver on a parity with gold. and stands by the platform of 1s2, but says that platform cannot be car- ried out for the reason that a fixed parity cannot be maintained. Mr. Cockran Ready to Discuss. _ Prominent leaders of both wings of the democratic party have had conveyed to them the impression that these are sub- stantially the views the President will ex- press. Mr, Rourke Cockran of New York, and Mr. Bynum of Indiana, it ts suid are to be the leaders of the antt-silves forces on the democratic side of the floor of the House. It is stated that the distinguished ‘Tammany orator at the suggestion of Mr. Cleveland himself, has devoted his spare time during the summer to the study of the question in all its phases. Day before yesterday Mr. Cockran went to Mr. Cul- berson of Texas, and Mr. Bland, and stat- ed that: the anti-silver men were willing to start in with the discussion of the silver question on the second day of the session, without referring it or waiting for con- sideration or report from any committee. The underlying motive of this suggestion fs sald to be a fear on Mr. Cockran's part that Speaker Crisp will give the stlver men a majority on the coinage committee. He wi d upon the silver leaders that to wait for a committee report would delay action, that it would be at least two weeks and probably three before any committees would be announced. Mr. Culberson Prefers a Report. Mr. Culberson told Mr. Cockran that he would not agree to his proposition; that he belleved the sliver men could get their views before the country in very much bet- ter shape if they were em died in a re- port from a majority of the committee on coinage. Mr. Cockran said he was willing to jump into the middle of the discussion at once; that he would agree there should be no closure and that every man should say everything he had to say on the sub- Ject of silver without interruption, and that at the end of the discussion there should be a vote taken on every proposition. Mr. Bland also was not favorable to this propo- sition at the outset, and at two subsequent consultations Mr. Cockran has had with Mr. Culberson Mr. Bland was unable to be ‘present because of ndisposition, They are to meet again today if possible. Two Bills Proposed. ‘The intention is that Mr. Cockran shall at the first opportunity introduce a bill to repeal the Sherman act outright without any conditions or substitutes. Mr. Culber- son will also introduce a bill, or some one wil In his behalf, which will provide for the repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman act, and will also provide for the coinage of silver without mintage at the ratio of 16 to L. The bill, it is understgod, in its wording will follow as closely as may be section 7 of the democratic platform of 1892, which favors “the coinage of both gold and silver without discriminating against either metal or charge for mintage, but the dollar unit of coinage of both metals must be of equal Intrinsic and exchangeable value, or be adjusted through international agreement or by such safeguards of legis- lation as shall insure the maintenance of the parity of the two metals and the equal power of every dollar at all times in the markets and in the payment of debts." By this means it fs thought that the demo- eratic opponents of a bill thus framed will be put in the attitude before the country of opposing their own platform. pS A WYOMING DEAL, Senator Beckwith Resigns—Gosaip as to Hin Successor. Vice President Stevenson today rend to the Senate the resignation of A. C. Keck- with as Senator from the state of Wyom- ing. The announcement came as a consid- erable surprise to the Senate, though ru- mors to this effect have been rife in Wy- oming for some days. A gentleman who stands very high in the political ranks of that state and who has just arrived in the city is authority for the Statement that it is generally believed that a deal has been arranged, which, if earried to fulfillment, will see Mr. A. L. New, the recently appointed collector of internal rev- enue for Wyomin; hand in 1 resignation as collector, and at the same time he will be named by the governor as the successor of Mi Beckwith. Mr. New is now in this city companied by Mr. C, D. Kelly of Cheyenne, and the presence of Mr. Kelly in the city fills the remainder of the story in that he is the person selected to have the position of collector made vacant by the resignation. of Mr. New. This ts believed to be the ar- rangement made by the local politicians of Cheyenne. — Cherokee Strip Trexpasnern. Commissioner Lamoreux of the general land office has received nformation to the effect that private parties have been de- tected in destroying corner stone markings of surveys in the Cherokee strip, and are offering to locate parties on choice lands along the Rock Island railroad and also in Pawnee. The commissioner upon receipt of this information telegraphed the special agent in charge to lay the matter before the United States district attorney and to procure the prompt arrest of all parties guilty of obliterating corner-stone mark- ings, and all others found trespassing on the ‘strip. —— ‘The Arrest of Capt. Barret! Acquaintances here of Capt. C. C. Bar- rect, a well-known lawyer of Columbia, S. C., express much surprise at the ar- rest of the captain upon a charge of whole- sale swindling as reported by telegraph yesterday morning. He was in Washing- ton not long ago pressing his claims to 2n appointment as chief clerk in the office of assistant attorney general. He was also a candidate for the rallroad commissioner- ship of his state and it is said his chances for getting it were good. ‘The accounts of his operations state that he induced a number of fourth class post- masters to order, on letter heads bearing their names and official titles, from north ern dealers large quantitles of merchandise nufactured articles, Credit’ was and Garrett given as reference. goods arrived Barrett togk pos- session and sold them for whatever he could get. When the bills became due, the manu- facturers and dealers discovered the swindle, In connection with this, Barrett disposed, through his _postoffice accom- plices, of quantities of stamps which had once been used and the cancellation stamp removed. Upon the discovery of this the government took a hand and an investi- gation followed, resulting in the captain's arrest. In default of $10,000 bail he was remanded to jail. arrests are expected. Additional Gossip as to the Composition of the District Committee, WHO 18 LUKELY 70 BE CHAIRMAN. The Trolley Question Discussed by Some of the Members. THE SENATE COMMITTEE. If the House Committee on the District of Columbia, when organized for this ses- sion of Congress, should include all those who were members of the committee dur- ing the last session who have been re- elected there would be three vacancies to fill. These vacancies are occasioned by the non-return of members to this Congress. ‘The most important vacancy of course Is in the chairmanship. Mr. John J. Hemphill of South Carolina, who sat at the head of the District committee during the last Con- gress is not a member of the Fifty-third Congress, owing to an uprising of the Farmers’ Alliance in his district. The man next in order to him upon the committee is Mr. John T. Heard of Missouri, long time a member of the District committee and re-elected to the Fifty-third Congress. ‘The other two vacancies are occasioned by the retirement of Mr. Edwin Hallowell of Pennsylvania, and Mr. Samuel T. Busey of Illinois. The former members ‘of the committee wha were returned to this Con: gress are as follow: if Missouri, James D. John T. Heard Richardson of ‘Tennessee, Rusk of Maryland, Jame: bama, Jo Abbott of Texas, Tom L. John- son of Ohio, Elisha E. Meredith of Vir- ginia, Cornelius A. Cadmus of New Jer- sey, “Alfred C, Harmer of Pennsylvania, Philip 3. Post of Illinols, William ogg: well of Massachusetts, and James J. den of New York. ‘There Is one man in this group who 1 pronounced advocate of the trolley, flavors its adoption in this city, Mr. Tom L. Johnson of Ohio. He will be recalled as the man who urged the single-tax Idea for application in the District, and he was out- spoken In his advocacy of the trolley in the last Congress. Gonsip as to the Chairmanship. The most reliable gossip about the chair- manship of the District committee Indicates that there Is a contest for the place be- tween Mr. Richardson of Tennessee and Mr. Heard of Missourl. Both of these men have had long service on the committee and take a Ifvely interest in District af- fairs. Mr. Richardson was chairman of the printing committee in the last Congress and also in the fiftieth Congress. He is said to be making a good fight for the Dis- trict chairmanship with favorable pros- pee There are said to be a great many appli- cations for place on the District committee from the older members who have come value the importance of the committee’ work and who are interested in Washing- ton’s progress, It is understood that Representative Cooper of Indiana would like to be a mem- ber of the District committee. During the two terms which he has served in Con- gress he has become deeply interested in District affairs and the progress of the city. Oppoxed to the Trolley. in “I am unalterably opposed to the trofley system for this city,” said Mr. Cooper to a Star reporter this morning, “and I would not favor giving the trolley _ the, slightest foothold here.

He would con- sult their feelings in the matter. Won't Talk Trotley. Representative Richardson of Tennessee declined to talk trolley at this time. He said there seems to be an impression abroad that the trolley question will come before the District committee for action and he did not care to express an opinion before- hand. Representative Coggswell of Massa- chusetts also declined to talk trolley. One of the best friends the District has in Congress Is Gen. Henderson of Iowa, who Is @ prominent member of the appropriation committee. He said today that he thought there would be District legislation at this session. Gen. Henderson sald he had not given the trolley subject much thought and would prefer not to express an opinion. Itwas rumored at the Capitol today that the liquor dealers of this clty will make an effort during the extra session to have last session's Hquor law repealed.

This fs the Plan Proposed Today—A Finan- celal Messure to Be Introduced and Voted on at Once. ‘The leaders of the House representing both sides of the silver question have got to work in earnest, with the determina- tion of reaching a settlement of the silver question at once if possible. A number of conferences have been held, and a plan has been reached by the members who have been in conference. It has been agreed to go ahead at once with the con- sideration of the question without waiting for rules or committees. The silver men will introduce a bill providing for the re- peat of the Sherman law, retaining the legal tender in redeemable quality and the silver and coin certificates already out, and providing for the free coinage of silver at a ratio which is left blank, to be filled in by the House. Cockran from the anti- silver men will “introduce a bill for the unconditional repeal of the Sherman law. They will then proceed at once with the general discussion and fight it out to a finish so that the will of the majority of the House can find expression in -some sort of measure as quickly as possible. Cockran, Cull . Bankhead, and a large number / of others representing both the silver and the anti-silver men have been talking over the mat- ter for the past twenty-four hours, and the plan has also been laid before the speaker and members who were on the old commit- tee on rules. The proposition is to throw the silver re- peal bill into the arena atyonce. They pro- Pose tomorrow before the*rules have been adopted and consequently before there has been even an authorization for com- mittees, to which bills can be referred, to introduce @ bill for the unconditional’ re- 1 of the Sherman law and to ask for Immediate action on it. propose to do this under an agreement that the House shail vote on that proposition and amend- ments offered after proper debate without filibustering. First the antl-silver men and conserva- | tive men are willing that a vote should be taken on an amendment providing for the free colnage of silver at the present ratio. | ‘Then, if this amendment ts not carriel, the yote on an amendment providing for the free coinage of silver at a ratio of 2) to 1. If this fails the proposition is to take a i- rect vote then on the original bill for the unconditional repeal of the Sherman law. ‘This plan contemplates a postponement of the rules and of, the committees, which would leave the House under the direction of the speaker with the guidance of general parliamentary law, which would undoubt- edly be const~ued fo mean the rules of the House as previously applied with the excep- tion, of course, of that part which provides for the reference of bills to committees. ee.

The gold in the treasury is daily increas- ing. It stands today $102,291,3% or $2,291,395 above the reserve. The net balance of the treasury, however, from the treasurer's statement issued to- day shows a decrease, attributed largely to a falling off in customs receipts. This bal- | ance 1s $15,989,722. The subsidiary sliver in the treasury, made up of halves, quarters and dimes, amounts to $12,598,090. So far this month the receipts in round figures amount to $5,000,000, an1 the expendi- tures to $7,750,000, of which $3.290,09 have been paid on the pension account large expenditures have been eating into the net balance and reduced it. ‘The fact that custom receipts are falling from that source, has an opposite bearing upon the general prosperity of the country, as it shows that less money is being ex: pended abroad for Imported merchandise.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. COLUMBUS, Ohio, Aug. 7%—Ex-Gov. Campbell could secure the democratic nomn- ination for governor by merely saying the | word, but it is now evident, if any one doubted it before, that he does not intend to perm the use of his name in the Cin- cinnati convention. Quite a strong boom | for him started here last week, based upon | the report that there was a bad split in tue | Boss county democracy, resulting in the se- lection of two delegations to the state con- vention. It was the result of opposition to L. T. Neal, and this was generally attribut- ed to the Campbell men, who still remem- | ber the part taken by Neal in the oppout- | ton to Gov. Campbell when he was a | didate for nomination for a second | two years ago. Whether this was not, the ex-governor nipped the the bud by once more, and in | positive terms, declaring that under no cir cumstances would he permit his name | the matter. The trouble in Ross county | in a bad way, It seems to be the fact, however, that | neither Mr. Neal nor any of the other gen- | Uemen who have been mentioned for the homination are working hard to secure it. It is a moét peculiar condition, and the most probable explanation of it fs that the democrats do not believe there is much hope of a victory for their party this year, notwithstanding the surprising ot last year’s election. ‘The peremptory withdrawal of Walter 1.
