EXTRA SESSION CALLED.
FIRST MONDAY IN AUGUST
, • IS.THE DATE.
JOYOOS NEWS FROM WASHINGTON.
The President Issues a Proclam
ation Convening Congress
And There is Great Rejoicing Conse
quent Up *n the Act.
| A "Washington special says: The
president late Friday afternoon issued
his proclamatiwn calling congress to
meet in extraordinary session on Mon
day, August 7tli.
This action was taken after a pro
longed session of the cabinet at which
there was warm discussion and wide
difference of opinion. The president
finally ended the matter by taking
practically his own course.
The pressure for an earlier session
has been growing stronger daily and
since the action in India, it has been
unprecedented. The pressure came
from all parts of the country and par
ticularly from the region east of the
Mississippi and north of the Ohio. It
included all classes of business, bank
ers, manufacturers, merchants, in fact,
every ono to whom credit is a neces
sity.
It was particularly insistent from
New York, both stato and city. From
New York city there came not only
letters and telegrams from individuals
and resolutions from commercial bod
ies, but leading business men who en
joyed the acquaintance of Mr. Cleve
land, came in person to urge the ab
solute business necessity of a session
earlier than September.
This action has been favorably re
ceived at Washington by men of all
shades of opinion, even those opposed
to the repeal of the Sherman law,
feeling that it is just as well that the
issue should be met. There are not
enough representatives and senators
now in Washington to indicate defi
nitely what the action of congress will
be. It is regarded as certain that the
repeal of the measure will pass the
house, and that the final battle will be
fought in the senate where the silver
men are projmrtionately much stronger
than they are in the other body,
i The determination to call an extra
session the first week in August in
stead of the first week in September,
it is understood, was only arrived at
the cabinet meeting Friday morning
giving full weight to the telegrams re
ceived from all parts of the country
urging this course.
Another consideration which caused
the president to change his mind was
foreshadowed in a remark made
by ono of his cabinet officers two
days ago, that if the president
received reasonable assurance that
there was a likelihood of a prompt re
peal of the so-called Sherman silver
purchase law he might be disposed to
call congress together earlier than he
had announced. It is inferred from
the fact that the president has done so
that he considers he has obtained the
assurance that he desired.
THE PROCLAMATION.
Executive Mansion, Washington, D.
C., June 30, 1893.—Whereas, The dis
trust and apprehension concerning the
financial situation which pervades all
business circles have already caused
great loss and damage to our mer
chants and threaten disaster, stop the
wheels of manufacture, bring distress
and privation to our farmers and
withhold from our working-men the
wage of labor, and,
Whereas, The present perilous con
dition is largely the result of a finan
cial policy which the executive branch
of the government finds embodied in
unwise laws which must be executed
until repealed by consent;
Now, therefore, I, Grover Cleveland,
president of the United States, in per
formance of a constitutional duty, do
by this proclamation declare that an
extraordinary occasion requires the
convening of both houses of the con
gress at the capitol, in the city of
Washington, on the
SEVENTH DAY OP AUGUST
next, at noon. that the
people may be relieved through
legislation of the present impending
danger and distress. All those entitled
to act as members of the fifty-third
congress are required to take notice of
this proclamation and attend at the
time and place above stated.
Given under my hand and the seal of
the United States in the city of
Washington, on the thirtieth day
of June, in the year of our Lord
eighteen hundred and ninety-three,
and of the independence one hundred
and seventeenth.
Grover Cleveland.

trouble 'will ensue.

December 24, 1845, elected king in
1863. He is the son of the present
king of Denmark, Christian IX., and
brother of the princess of Wales and

Prince Constantine, born 1868, mar
ried in 1889 the Princess Sophia, sis
ter of the present German emperor,
and has one son, Prince George, born
1890. The king’s eldest daughter, Al
exandria, married in 1889 the Grand
Duke Paul, brother of the present

Happenings from Day to Day in tie
National Capital
Appointments in the Various Depart
ments—Other Notes of Interest.
Hon. Robert P. Porter, superin
tendent of the census, has resigned, to
take effect immediately. Mr. Porter
has been desirous of severing luh con
nection with the office for over a
month, aud recently completely cer
tain business arragement with a New
York enterprise which demands his
early attention.
Assistant Secretary Hamlin, in view
of the repeated violation of the law in
the sale of goods on exhibition at the
world’s fair, without the payment of
tho customs duty, attaching, has in
structed Collector Clark to hereafter
strictly enforce the law, which provides
a penalty for its violation, of a fine of
not more than $5,000 or imprisonment
at not more than ten years.
The celebration of tho Fourth of
July at the national capital opened
with religious services at Ephimany
church, conducted by Kev. Dr. Mc-
Kim, in the presence of the Sons of
the Revolution and others. The soci
eties proceeded to the ground of the
Washington monument, where, after
the reading of the Declaration of In
dependence, two speeches were made.
Other societies observed the day in a
formal manner. Business was sus
pended and all the government de
partments closed.
Assistant Secretary Reynolds, of the
interior department has made a pen
sion decision which will be welcome
news to a large number of women who
ministered to wounded soldiers in hos
pitals during the late war. They are
to be placed on the pension rolls. The
question arose upon a communication
from the commissioner of pensions as
to whether those women who superin
tended the diet of the sick and wound
ed soldiers were entitled to pensions
under the provisions of the act com
monly known as the nurses act.
The secretary of state is informed
by Minister Gray that the Mexican
congress has authorized the executive
to negotiate during the five years suc
ceeding May 30, 1893, any contracts
granting franchises and concessions to
companies investing capital to estab
lish new industries, which do not in
terfere with others, the duration
thereof not to exceed ten years, and
the minimum of capital invested to be
not less than $250,000. The decree
relieves such capital from importa
tion, under bond, of the necessary
treasury apparatus free.
The collector of customs at El Faso,
Tex., has been instructed by Assistant
Secretary Spalding to discontinue at
once the practice of admitting sul
phides of silver from Mexico without
a consular invoice and in the fut
ure not to admit silver bullion from
Mexico exceeding SIOO in value alleged
to be imported as money unless ac
companied by a consular invoice or a
bond for tho production of such in
voice unless the bullion is shown by a
shipper’s declaration made before a
consular officer at the port of ship
ment to be forwarded as money or
medium of exchange at a fixed volume
per ounce, and not as merchandise.
The effect of the announcement of
an extra session of congress upon sen
ators and representatives in Washing
ton was very marked. Senator Voor
hees, chairman of the finance commit
tee, first knew of the president’s action
when informed by an Associated Press
representative. He was not surprised.
“That being the case,” said the sena
tor, “it will not be long before we are
again at work. Inasmuch as congress
has to deal with the subject of finance,
it is well that we get about it, and the
sooner the better. Ido not know that
congress can or will bring relief to the
country, but it is our duty to make
the effort and there is no wisdom in
delay. ”
Circulation Figures.
The monthly circulation statement
issued by treasury department Tues
day shows a net decrease on circulation
since June Ist, of $2,245,490, and since
July 1, 1892, of $9,346,977, making
the amount of all kinds of money in
circulation on July 1, 1893, $1,593,-
726,411. The class of money in cir
culation is as follows: Gold coin,
$403,633,700; standard silver dollars,
$57,029,743; subsidiary silver, $65,-
400,268; gold certificates,s92,97o,019 ;

1872, $11,935,000; national bank notes,
$174,731,139. The amount of circula
tion per capita is placed at $23.86.
(jQSHip us to Reorganization.
The calling of congress in extra
session is already evoking gossip as to
the reorganization on both the bodies.
Such changes as are to be made in the
official force of the senate, including
anew secretary and sergeant-at-arms,
have already been determined upon,
and the new officers will enter upon
their duties and salaries when the
senate meets. The only new
face on the floor of the senate
will be Stanford’s successor, appoint
ed by the governor of California. The
other senators were sworn in on the
sth of March last. A complete reor
ganization of the house is involved,
with many members to take their
seats. Anew speaker, clerk, sergeant
at-arms, doorkeeper and postmaster
are to be elected, and brand new com
mittees are to be appointed. This does
not necessarily mean a change in the
personnel of all these officials, but it
is quite in the bounds of probability
that some of them may be supplanted
by new men.

A Valley of Death in Bolivia.
‘ ‘There is a valley in Bolivia, South
America, which might well be called
the Valley of the Shadow of Death,”
said Edgar Stapleton, “It has been
inhabited for an indefinite period of
years by the Kanaa Indians, who are
kindred to the various South Ameri
can tribes and number now only a few
hundred souls. That they were once
a powerful tribe is indicated by the
condition of the land which they as a
tribe still inhabit. One cannot travel
any distance through their land with
out coming upon the old and forsaken
burial grounds of the Ivanaa dead.
These places cannot be called grave
yards, for the bodies are not buried,
but rather placed upon elevated plat
forms, wrapped in the garments of
death and bound to the crossbeams
that they may not be displaced.
. In one of these burial grounds there
will be probably 50 high skeleton plat
forms, and on each will lie from three
to five of the Kanaa dead. The air in
that part of Bolivia is very pure and
preservative, for it is one of the high
est plateaus of the continent, although
Kanaa valley is just a little below the
plateau’s height. A traveler passing
through that land at night and by
moonlight would be awestricken at the
gloomy vision those graveyards pre
sent.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Comment on 1 lie Greek Costume.
On one occasion when Harriet Hos
mer, the sculptor, was addressing an
audience of clubwomen on Greek art
she alluded especially to the flowing
lines in the dress worn by women in
the age of Pericles. But she impressed
upon her hearers the important fact
that it was a dress suited to that period
when women remained much within
and _>ors and when no public duty was de
manded of them. “Beautiful as it
was, ” she said with her delightful
laugh, “we could not imagine a nine
teenth century woman running to
catch a train in such a garment.”

The paper wedding, which may be
observed on the second anniversary of
one’s marriage, can now be made a
very charming fete. At one not long
ago the bride and guests wore dresses
and flowers of paper, the house was
decorated with marvelous paper flow

paper. The guests were requested to
come without gifts, but if one wills it
otherwise so many beautiful things can
be fashioned out of little crepe paper
that it is no grevious task on one’s

Spoiling n Child’s Curiosity.
A child whose questions are not an
swered by its parents will either turn
to others who are willing to gratify its
desire for knowledge, but who perhaps
are unable to distinguish between
what is good for a child to know and
what is not, or else it will lose its fine
natured susceptibility and learn to
look upon life in a dull, spiritless way
without interest or curiosity. "Worse,
however, than not answering a child’s
questions is to ridicule them. Noth

ing its inexperience abused and its
earnestly meant questions made the
subject of mockery.— Popular Science
