the number of school days greater,
but each day is at least an hour
longer.

Washington, July 8.—Reports re-
ceived At the treasury department to-
day arc that the president's extra ses-
sion proclamation was hailed with
profound gratification in financial cir-
cles everywhere and men of all
branches of business were loud in
their praises of Mr. Cleveland's action.
As is usual, of course, in Wall street
the fact was to a certain extent dis-
counted yesterday in the rumor that
such a step had been decided upon
that the effect on prices this morning
o* the stock exchange there was not
marked whpn compared with the el
yesterday, but when compared with
the lowest and opening prices of yes-
terday or the prices of the day before,
the improvement in prices was at onct
seen to be very great, the difference
in some cases being as much as eight
points.
In London the price of silver went
up three pence and in Chicago wheat
opened higher. Similar good reports
caine from other cities and there was
a distinctly lighter feeliug at tho
treasury in consequence.
At New York the silver market
firmer to-day, 165,000 ounceschauging
hands at from 71X to 72 asked. The
closing quotation was 73 fc bid and 70
asked.
Tho senators from Nevada. Color-
ado, Wyoming and Idaho may be set
down as opposing the repeal of the
Sherman silver purchase act, their
constituents generally favoring free
coinage. Out of forty-three republi-
can senators not less than twenty-six
and most probably thirty will favor
the repeal of tho Sherman law, pro-
vided it is not accompanied or made a
part of what they may deem vicious
and dangerous legislation.

Indianapolis, IncL, July 8.—Secre-
tary of State Oresham was at tho
Bates house to-day on his return from
a visit to his mother in Harrison coun-
ty. It was tho first time he had been
in Indianapolis since he became a
member of Mr. Cleveland's cabinet,
and his old associates gave him a cor-
dial welcome.
"I haven't seen the newspapers for
a couple of days until this morning."
said Mr. Oresham, "and don't know
just what haa been going on."
"Have you seen that President
Cleveland has called congress to meet
in extra session on August 7?"
"Yes, I have just noticed that in the
morning papers, and I am very glad,
indeed that he has done so. I believe
there was a general demand for a
meeting of congress,earlier than Sep-
tember and the call, I think, will do
much toward allaying the doubts that
exist as to the outcome of the finan-
cial conditions."
"l).o you think congress will repeal
the Sherman act?"
"I certainly believe it will f will
say, too, that two weeks ago congress
would not have repealed the act. I
know whereof 1 speak when I say
that"

Railroads ltadly Affected bv the Closing
of the .kliver miiiph.
Dknveii, Col., July 3.—The Union
Pacitic lines in Colorado will be di-
rectly affected by the closing of the
mines and its officers estimate the loss
at seventy-five por cent of the whole
traffic, or about 3200,000 a month.
They say that should suffering be-
come apparent in the mountain towns
they will carry supplies at nominal
figures.
A conservative estimate of the loss
to the Rio Grande is 30 per cent of
the gross earnings, or about 8150,000 a
month, and this will increase if tho
mines remain closed for any length
of time.
The Colorado Midland will lose
about the same proportion of its earn-
ings. The roads have all commenced
to lay off train crews aud have re-
ceived orders from the smelters and
sampling works to accept no ore ship-
ments. Even gold ore is not taken,
as it cannot be handled in most cases
without silver and lead flux.

Toledo. Ohio, July 3.—Ex-Secretary

ize the national bank issue; third, at

Washington, June 30.—'The presi-
dent announced this afternoon that-
he had decided to cull the extra session.
of congress on Monday, August 7, and
at once prepared his proclamation^,
which will be issued this evening.
The president left the city at 4:30'
this afternoon for liuzzard's Bay to be.
absent about four weeks.
Thin action of the president was
taken in response to urgent demands
from business men in all parts of the
country. The silver question will be
the subject of the message.
The president did not reach the ex-
ecutive mansion until a few minutes
before li o'clock, the hour at which'
tho cabinet Convenes. At the cabinet-
meeting Mr. Carlisle presented
an array of official figures bear-
ing on tho ailver question and
a general iuterohange of views,
followed.
lie gave the president the daily
cablegram from London showing the.
price of silver tliere to-day to be 30#
pence per ounce, equivalent to . 083 per
ounce American money, making the
bullion value of the silver dollar 67.3!
cents. All the members of the cabinet
were present except Secretary Gres-
ham. Tho cabinet adjourned at 1-
o'clock.
Representative O'Neil of Mas-
sachusetts was one of the presi~
dent's callers last evening. Asked-
by Mr. Cleveland if he thought
the Sherman law could be repealed in-
case congress was convened at once,
he rejpiied: "The Isw can be ropoalod,
Mr. President, if you will use your
position for that purpose. By that I
mean for you to send for such men as
Mr. Bland, Mr. Culberson and others
who think as they do, who are Demo-
crats first aud silver men afterward,
and to them explain the urgent neces-
sity of an immediate and uncondition-
al repeal"
The president interrupted Mr. O'Neill
to say that he had already talked
with some of the silver men whose
names ho had mentioned. Ilia ut-
most efforts were being used to bring
about tho repeal of the law by
the coming congress. He added:
"It is not any more a question of
what Wall street in New York or State
street in - Chicago wants, but what
affeets the masses of the people. They
are suffering from the law. Business
men, small and large, throughout the
country are unable to sell their goods
or realize sufficient money to properly
conduct their business."
The pressure for a session of con-
gress earlier than September was
beyond all precedent In Washington
all forces were centered to that
end, and this ndded to the local de-
sire for the benefits naturally accruing
to Washington from an increased
population during a session of con-
gress, made the demand almost
deafening. Heretofore in the far
West tho silver constituencies
have regarded with indifference
the clamor of the East. Since the de-
monetization of silver in India the
silver miners, smelters and all tho In-
terests represented in the silver pro-
ducing states havo kept the wires
laden with telegrams directing repre-
sentatives and correspondents in
Washington to urge the necessity for
immediate action by the administra-
tion to stay the fall of silver.
Much significance is attached to the
statement by Senator Voorhees that
he would from this time favor the un-
conditional repeal of the Sherman
act Voorhees is chairman of the.
finance committee of the senate and
he has heretofore been an uncom-
promising silver man.

Nkw York, June 30.—Senator Jones
of Nevada, lust evening predicted the.
formation of a now party in which
present lines would bo abolished, but
said that it was too early to make pre
dictions regarding the probable effect
on the silver question of this country
of the recent action of the Indian gov-
ernment.
"The repeal of the Sherman act
would be cutting off the feed pipe
that Supplies one stream of money to
the people. I do not look forward for
the repeal of this act because the sil-
ver advocates want it kept upon the
statute books. The advocates of gold
insist that it must be repealed. If
they secure its repeal the silver men
will demand a substitute which will
guarantee to supply an equal amount
of silver money tc the people."
"What substitute would be agreea-
ble to the sjlvtfr men?"
"They want free coinage. They
will make a stand for that The only
substitute which I would agree to
would be the coinage of silver ou a
readjusted ratio. I would not advo-
cate this readjustment of ratio, say at
-0, because I favor the coinage of
silver at the present ratio; but if it be-
came inevitable that there should be
no other sulistitute adopted, I would
accept the coinage of silver at a 20 to
one ratio. The silver men will revolt
if the gold men give no substitute. It
will bring about a revolution and
break up the parties."
