TIME FOR CONVENING THE CONGRESS Strong Sentiment Exists in Favor of Getting It Together Sooner Than o Year anda Month After Its Election, 513 Founreryrim STrRenr, Wasaixaros, D. C., Dac. 8 The agitation of an extra sessfon has re called attention to the many propositions in troduced into congress for clianging the date of the op:ing of congross to soms earlier period. Al the joint resolutions now before congress, however, have the disad vantage of coupling with the chaage of date for the ovening of congress a ch ange of the date of inauguration, whila thoreisa gen oral fooling that ths Amogican paople after electiog a man to ba the président ought not tosubjact him to tho danger of death by holding inauguration ceremonies 1n the month of March, it will be very dificult ever to chango that date. There soems to bo aquite a stroug senti- ment iu both the senate and house in favor of opening a new congress earlier than on the first Monday of the socond Docember after its olection iator Miller, who is chairman of th committee on olections and privileges, to which sach bill would be referred, said that he heartily favored a change, but that he be- lieved it would bs better to have cougress convone in October or Novembor. ator Gorman is also understona to favor an earlier date. Speakor Crisp favors a changs, but suzgests that a careful examinauon of the coustitution bs made before any change is made, lest an oariier date should couflict with some of tha constitutional duties of congreas, such as tho counting of the clec- toral vote in January. Chairman Sprioger of the ways and moans committeo also heart- ily favors the change. He recalls that it was 0 snort sossion of congress in sos. sion after its successor had bean cleciod that passed the famous back pay bill, No congressman who i3 defeate should be given an opvortunity to affect legislation. Judge Holman, chairman of the appropria- tlous committoo, is of similar mind. Trae 10 his hobby he favors it because he bolieves that congress would *'save money.” Con- gress might mest, appoint 1ts committee, bold a short sessiou uud then adjourn, mak- ing the second session the long session in- stead of tne first as at proseat, The com- mittecs could sit duriug the recess, hold in- vestigations 1f necassary, and have other bills and reports formulated roady foraction when the secona session met.

C., Dae, 8.—Raprosonta- tive Bland of Missouri, chairmun of the coin- age committee and the champion of free coinage of silver, was asked by an Asso- ciated press reporter what he thought would be the effect of the failurc of the interna- tional monetary conferencs to agree on any- thing, He replied: “T don't see that it would have any effact one way or the other. [ have not rogarded it as amounting to any- thing moro than a makashife to tide over election and perhaps help a movement to de. monetize siver. 1 always rogarded 1t as having those objects in view moro than any real expectation of doing wood to siiver, 1 dou’t think the.publis generally expect much of it 1o you expoct anything from the confor- encot” 1 do not, and [decisively| I nover have," *Suppose thut the conference should fail and that a proposition should then bo made to repeal the Sterman luw, what then ¢+ “That will s oroposed anyway, 1 sume. lam in favor of repealing it 1 caunot get something vetter for silver, do not like the Sherman law. At the time it was proposed I stated on the floor of the house, aud in my report, that it wouia uot increase the value of silver, or tend to Dromoto its restoration as money; that it would bo a failure in that respect; vet you may say it Is a counecting link between wtal demouetization and something botter. Henee I think it would be bad policy to re- peal it unless we can do something else at the samo time, Our bill and the Stewart bill repealed the Sherman law, but substituted froe coinago.’ “Do you think there is any prospoct of sil- vor lozislation "’ *1 would not iks to express any opinion on that, because I do not know how the members feel. From the way they votsd last session, there is not much prospoct of it.” de from freo coinawe, what plan caa you suggest that would improve the financial situation “1 would &o to work and coin all the bullion whicn has been purcnased. That would be u ereat reliel, because it would #how we wers dotermined to make money of silver the samo as of gold at any fixed ratio, It added Mr. Bland with a’ significance that appeals to-the economist of tho house, *‘could be the means by which a deficiency in the troasury could be mar. All the bullion we have 1n the treasury under the present volicy migtt as well bo” dumped 1uto tho Polomac s0 far @s making money of it is concerned. It is treatea as a commodity, and as treated by the treasury now, 1t 1s so much_doad capital. We havo purchased sincos the Sherman law wont into effect nearly 126,000,000 ounces of silver, which would coin about, $162,000,000. Rating the purchascs at an average price of 90 ceats an ounce, we would ygain approxi- mately §),000,000 on coining the bullion, which would bridge over any difticulty aris ing from tho deficiency in the treasury the coming fiscal year, that wo not issue bonds nor take other steps thau coining that bullion to provige ourselves with needful fungs.” Jon’t you think the proposition to make silver a logal tonder up to £3, shows a moro liberal disposition toward silver of the part of Great Britain " “That would make it a subsiaiary cur- rency, a mere token, Auv proposition that does not make iv a full logal tender is not making monev of it, What Gireat Britain wants the United States to do with silver is t> make 1t simply a subsigiary curreucy. What we should ao is to drive Great Britain to the uso of silver as money, doit. Wae would only have to make money of silverand Groat Ughtain would have to act with us, for it has too many interests not to do it“PRothschild says that (ireat Britain vould not afford to do angthing that would hurt us Austria, Russia and others nations aro buging gold, Suppese we should go into the market after gold. Yes, it has be talked about: it has bsen said wo should seil moro bonds or stould issue more legal tendor notes and provido a basis for thom by buyving gold. If wo went into the mnarket wo would beat them.
