MANY OFFICIALS FAVOR IT The Objections to Consul-General J odd Supposed to Have Keen Withdrawn Gold Resere. Increslon. Associated Press. Washington, May 13. The Star has the following: The democratic leaders In congress and tho administration are trying to come to an understanding as to the policy of the next congress by which they can avoid the danger of a split In the party on the money question and secure united action on several Import ant questions which will present them selves. It is the present understanding that a compromise proposition to dis pose of the silver question by acconv panylng the repeal of the Sherman law with a repeal of the 10 per cent, on state bank currency which will receive the sanction of the administration, and the men who are fighting against any contraction of the currency will be satisfied to let go of silver It, they can get state currency. It is designed, also, to levy an Income tax and It is believed that Cleveland will favor this. Briefly, there are four things which It is the desire of the parties leaders that the coming con gress should dispose of as speedily as possible, and it Is believed that Cleve land will dwell upon all of them in his first message. They are the repeal of the federal election laws, the levy of an Income tax, repeal of the Sher man law and tax of state bank curren cy and a complete revision of the ta Iff by making a very decided reduction In duties all long the line. Washington, May 13, Assistant Sec retary Curtis of the treasury depart' ment, who has charge of the World's Fair matters, said today that until the decision of the World's Fair directors to open on Sunday came to him1 in an official manner, he must decline to ex press any opinion as to what action, If any, the treusury officials might feel called upon to take In regard to the undelivered balance of the souvenir coin. Inquiry at the department of Justice as to the decision of the board of dl lectors to open tha World's Fair grounds on Sundays developes a feel ing favorable to it. It Is pointed out that the Jaw provides that the govern ment exhibits at the exposition shall be closed on Sunday. Now here It is not made compulsory to close the grounds on which the World's Fair or exposition Is being held. Attorney General Olney will not express an opin ion. Prominent officials In the depart ment do not hesitate to approve of the action already taken as being within the law, but express hopes that means may be found to open the whole expo sition on Sundays. Washington, May 13. It is cal culated that under the new administra tion a check Is going to be given to the rapid growth of the pension list, even without any legislation. When the pen sion appropriation bill passed at the last session of congress, It waa expect ed that the amount appropriated would be about fifteen millions short of the expenditures for this fiscal year. It was anticipated that the deficiency in the amountwould have to be pro vided for at the coming session. The average number of original pensions cases passed on each month it Is ex pected, however, will be but about one third what It was under the former administration of the office, and that instead of a deficiency, there will be a surplus of about $6,000,000.
