ed, and President Cannon was tseort-

of congratulation and thanks to the
retiring officer, Mr. Vhltemore, the
congress adjourned for dinner.
Tho flovelopmeiHB of the second
day's hcsnIou of the trans-MlsslsslppI
congrw have not been without Inter-
st to the advocate of free coinage of
sliver, who have lieen anxious to se
cure definite expressions from the con
gress tn favor of Uie white metal. The
irgiintsAtlon of the committee on reso
lutions, with Congressman W. J. Bry
an of Nebraska as chairman, and E.
A Marshal! of Texas as secretary, has
been highly delighting. Nevertheless,
there la as yet no certainty that the
matter will go beyond this. In the con
vention there Is a strong element In
favor of International free coinage
only, and opposed to any expression
whatever upon the subject by congress.
Whether the bl-metalllsta will be strong
onough to overcome both these ele
meiit cannot be told. Yet there Is a
certainty that the main struggle will
be on this portion of tho resolutions
committee report and the battle will
not bo a brief one.
