Bpecial to the Rsoobb-Uniov.
WASHncOTON, Nov. 14.—A call will be
issued soon for a meeting of the House
Committee on Appropriations for Mon
day, November 28th. 1 his will give the
committee about a week's time in which
to prepare some regular annual appro
priation bills for action of Congress when
it meets lor the second session. It is the
purpose to push rapidly all these meas
ures for the maintenance of the Govern
ment next year. The exceedingly heavy
payments by tho Treasury during the
first quarter of the present fiscal year
caused some dismay among members of
the Appropriations Committee. For the
first four mouths of tho year these pay
ments exceeded by (16,000,000 th<> ex
peuditures for a corresponding period the
proceeding fiscal year, .which means
a total increase for the present
year of $48,000,000, while the appro
priations lor the year were only
,ikm greater than the appropriations
lor last year. That means (if the esti
mates of the committee bold good a de
ficiency on account of pensions oi j.jti,OOO,
--(K) i, which w ill have to be met by Congress
at the next session, in addition to the ap
propriation for the next tiscal year oi cer
tainly not less that $150,000,000. o lno
total appropriations Congress must make
for pensions next ,-ession aggregate
not less than 1188,000,000. With this added
to other appropriations necessary to carry
on the Government and the decreased im
portations, and consequently receipts,ex
pected to result from the agitation of the
term question, it will bo seen that the
Appropriations Committee has good rea
son to feel dismayed at the outlook, and
doubt the ability to prevent a deficiency
iv the national accounts.
JOY AT BIiOOMINGTON.
Tho Pont-l'p Democratic Enthusiasm
Turned Loose.
Blooicington (111.), Nov. 14. — The
pent-up enthusiasm of the local Demo
crats was turned loose to-night in a rati
fication of the election of Cleveland and
Stevenson, especially the Later, as he is a
resideut of this city. Nightfall was tho
signal for lighting bonfires in different
parts of the cit3', and the liring of cannon
:i.:d anvils. The Democrats began toot
ing horns, and thousands of people con
ited aimut the business portion of
ihe city. About 7 o'clock they all formed
in line, and, with bands, inarched to tiie
n aidence of Vice-President-elect Steven
son. Ueneral .Stevenson, Hon. James
Mcivenzie of Kankakee. Hon. James
Ewing and Hon. Owen .Scott entered a
carriage and joined the line. After march
ing about franklin Park the line headed
f«.r the liurfee Theater, which was soon
tilled to its utmost capacity.
i ieneral Stevenson was introduced and
made a speech of considerable length,
principally of a felicitous nature, thank
ing the assemblage lor the reception and
his countrymen tor the honor bestowed
upon him. Alter commending the abil
ity and high personal character of the !
gentlemen on the opposing tickets, he !
referred to the good leeling during the
campaign and said: "May we not hope
that the great political struggle ot 1892
Will inaugurate a new era in American
politics, ami that a calm discussion anu
respectful consideration lor the opinions '
oi our opponents will characterize the
Presidential contests of the future."
He then reviewed the tenets of the
Democratic tuith and paid a high compli
ment to Grover Cleveland, closing with
an expression of his earnest endeavor to
discharge the duties of the high oilice to
■which he is called.
Several other] speakers followed with
short talks.
Among the stacks of letters which ac
cumulated for Stevenson since election
day, he to-day found one from lJresident
• ■ ■ ; i leveland, mailed several days ago.
It w:ts mainly of a private nature, and
Mr. Stevenson declined to make it pub- :
lie. Stevenson said to-night to an As
s iciated Press representative that he had
I yen out for publication any inter
regardrag a special session"of ( on
-. that he repeatedly declined to be
interviewed on the subject, and for the
reason that < leveland, as President-elect,
w as the proper person to speak upou this
matter.
THE NEW ADMIXI^XItATION.
Prominent Persons Mentioned In Con
nection ■\\ith the Cabinet.
Washington, Nov. 14.—The /w says:
The bulk of opinion hero points in the j
direction of an extra session of Congress, i
which it is believed will be called at an
early date following the inauguration of !
land. Undoubtedly great pressure
is preparing to be brought to bear upon
tho President-elect to effect this. North
western men who are in closest touch
With tho people at home are esj I
urgeotin the demand for an extra sea
sion.
There is a lot of vague Cabinet gossip
being indulged iv to-uay. it [s stated
that neither Whitney nor Dickinson will
accept places in Cleveland's Cahiuet, and
great doubt is expressed about Flower's I
desiring a Cabinet place. There is some
foundation for the guess that Pairchild !
may go into the Treasury Department
again. Seuator McPherson may be 5<
rotary of the Treasury. (lolonel Dan La
niout may be the New \or > member of!
the Cabinet. Lamont would be accept
able to all the New York Democrats. It
ieved that Colonel Morrison of Illi
nois w id go at the head of one or the de
partments. K. C W all. Democratic Na
tional Coiumitteeman from Wisconsin, is
said to-day to stand an excellent chance
of being seleeuxl for some Cabinet posi
tion.
W ILt. NO!' IAI.I. AN i:\TKA SESSION.
New Y.OBK, Nov. 14.—A democratic
paper says it is permitted to announce au
thoritatively that it ;s the present deter
mination of ex-President Cleveland not
to call an extra session of Congress after
the inauguration mi March 4th next, it
further announces in the estimation at
present of Mr. Cleveland and his closest ,
lrieuds an extra session would turn out
to be a profitless proceeding. His friends
■ay Mr. Cleveland must have time after I
the inaugurati.tn to look overtheground.
'I be natural objections to the reassem- ;
bling ol Congress immediately alter the;
inauguration are that it would have more
or less of an unsettling influence on the
business of the country.

| war times to-day when three hundred
i mounted men, followed by as many more

oppose tho sale. Brown was forced to

STEWART OF NEVADA.
THE SENATOR STEADFAST TO TIIE
(AlsE OF SILVEB.
I He Considers tho Tariff a Matter of
Small < onoeqneace as Compared
■\Vith the Money QnwtlllU.
Special to thp &KCORD-ONION.
San Fbancibco, Nov. ii. —Senator
Stewart of Nevada, who is in this city, ■
was asked by a reporter to-day how he
would stand on the subject of tariff re
ft;! m in tho United States Senate.
"The tariff," said the senator, "is a
matter of small consequence compared
with the financial question. I'm for free
silver, and as to the tariff, 1 stand where
Lincoln stood —as to slavery, when he
wrote that if the Union could be pre
served without destroying slavery he was
for preserving the Union that way, but if
the Union could not be saved without the
abolition of slavery then he was an aboli
| tionist."
"I>ut suppose the tarift reform proposi
tion comes up independently altogether
of silver, how will you vote?"
"On tho merits of tho proposition," re
plied the Senator.
"Hut for or against protection ?"
"Are you aware," inquired the Sena
tor, impressively, "that we have only
I half as much coin in reserve to-day as
we had eighteen years a^o. Then we
possessed $7,500,000,000. Now- we have
but >3.700,000,Q(X». All gold banks ha\ c
discarded silver as a basis, and silver is
reduced to the position of credit money.
i \ ervbody ought to know that tho busi
ness of thy world must bear some rela
tion to tho credit and reserve, and here
we see it standing like a pyramid up
ended, the apex resting on thai little
pedestal of gold. What is tho conse
quence? Things keep going from bad to
worse; prices have fallen 10 percent, in
eighteen years, and are still on the down
grade. Everyman who is not a lender
wakes up each day Doorer than when he
went to bed."
"But what is your attitude on the
tarill?"
"Tariff legislation, even if wholesome
in itself," replied Senator Stewart,
promptly, "is not adequate to relieve the
state of things I havo described. Tntil
this silver question is settled, and it never
will be until it is settled right, no party
can remain in power more than four
years. Each will give the people some
wrong explanation of what ails them,
and when it is afforded the opportunity
to try its cure it will be found to be use
less. Until the country shall have a
plentiful supply of money things cannot
mend."
"Will you vote to remove tho Mclvin
ley duties?"
"Sir," said the Senator, "I shall be
a high tariff man or a low tariff man, I
or a free trade man, according
as my position may affect silver. All
other questions sink into insigniticance
beside the money question. 1 shall use
my vote under ali circumstances toward
securing free coinage."
"That is to say. you are, as to tho tarifl',
strictly on the fence."
"Well," answered Mr. Steward, "I'd
! hardly like to put it that wav; but," he
added, "on the fence is good American
; language, after all, and expresses my po
! sition exactly. I'm for silver, first, last
and all the timp, you understand, and I
mean to log roll for it. Log roll is an of
fensive phrase, but it fills the situation.
Now I'll tell you all you or the public '
want to know about the necessity for free
coinage of silver, but as to all other ques
tions I preler to remain uncommitted. I
should deprive myself of the advantage
as a friend of silver of being—cr—"
"(in the fence."

MUST HOT READ THE PAPERS.
French Catholic Circles Interested;
Over aii Important Circular.
Montreal, Nov. 14.—a good deal of
interest is felt in French Catholic circles!
over an important circular letter from
Archbishop Fabre, which was read in ail
the churches of the diocese yesterday.
About the time of the Guyote scandal,
two weekly publications, the Canada He
' !<<• and Hock dtt Deux Afonfaones, be
came quite violent over alleged abuses
amongst clergymen, and for some time it
has been expected the church authorities
would take action. His grace states that
he hoped previous warnings would have
prevented a repetition of these attacks,
but such was not the case, and he con
tinues as follows:
"The holy name of God being invoked,
we therefore condemn of our authority
I the two publications printed in our dio
cese, viz: La Can i a Bet m and the Echo
dcs l>nu- Montagnes, and forbid, until
further orders, all faithful, under pain of
refusai of sacrament, to print, or place or
to put on sale, distribute, read or receive,
two dangerous sheets, or to write

near Schuylkill Haven, early this morn
ing, killing live men, tearing up the

MAY BE A DECIDED CHANGE.
Pn ism-hh, Nov. ii.— lt i~ probable
that within b short time a decided change
may take place in the strike situation at
Homestead and other points. A meeting ;
of tbe advisor; boards ot the Amalga
mate i Association of different points were
in session to-night, and to-morrow will
determine whether or not the strikers
will continue, a partial resumption of
work, together with the expense of sup
porting the strikers, aud capped by yes
terday's trouble, has rendered it neces
sary that some action be taken. A far as
ian be learned it is thought the leaders
will likely issue another manifesto and
urge the men to continue the battle.
Later. —At 11 o'clock to-night a quar
rel occurred between a number of col
ored non-unionists and Homestead col
ored men just outside the Ninth avenue
M. E. Church. The non-unionists drew
revolvers, and a number of shots were
lired, but no one was hit. During the
light two white men came along, aud one
of them cut a negro with a knife. Sev
eral arrests were made, and all is now
quiet.

THE HOLMES COMET.
Probably Identical With Blola's Period
Comet.
ALBANY (N. Y.I, Nov. 14.—Professor ,
Louis Doss of Dudley Observatory finds !
the comet discovered by Holmes is very
probably identical with Biela'a period
comet, which has not certainly been reo
ognized since ISO 2. This confirms the I
suspicion telegraphed from Berlin by i
I i .1. ssor Erberbish some days ago. Pro
fessor Boss thinks it likely there is to be!
a very close approach betweeu the comet !
and the earth on the morning of Novem- j
ber iv case the supposed identity ;
between the comets of Holmes aud liieia
proves to be a fact. The observations at '
present are insulliceut to demonstrate
this identity beyond doubt.
INDIAN QUKSTIOX.
Commissioner Morgan on the CUeyouue
and Arapaboe Trouble.
WabhihOTON, Nov. 14. —Indian Com
missioner Morgan, speaking to-day of
the reports about apprehended trouble
with the Cheyenne and Arapahoo ludiaus
in Oklahoma, because of a reduction of I
the food supply furnished by the Govern- |
ment, spoke at length on what had been '
done for these tribes in the past. In 1890 !
they agreed to surrender a large part of
their reservation, $joo,ia>u being paid in
cash ami |1, ,000 placed in the treasury :
to their credit, with interest at S per cent.
Allotments were then made to each man,
woman and child of the tribe of Itiu acres
of the Choicest land.
"It can hardly be expected," said the
Commissioner, "that the Government
will coutiuuo to suosist out of the public ,
treasury Indians who have had their land
allotted and who are receiving largo cash
payments. They not only have no
ground lor complaint, but the white peo
ple who Bottled among them are com
plaining that the i Government treut.s tho
Indians with a degree of liberality it ile
mi -to whites. This unrest among the
Indians was undoubtedly created by
those who hoped to be benefite I in some
way during ihe last campaign. Somo
unprincipled men stirred up these Indi
ans for political purposes, and If trouble
occurs they will bo largely responsible."

ner. The knot slipped under his chin as
the drop fell, and the man was slowly
