Whereas, distrust and apprphcn
ion concerning the financial situa
tion which prevade.all business cir
cles have already caused great hs3
and damage to our people, and
threaten to cripple our merchants and
stop the wheels of'" manufacture,
bringing distress arid yrivaion to
our farmers, and withhold from our
working men the wrj of labo. , and
Whereas. the pre?eftt perilioti 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until repealed by Congress; now,
therefore I, G rover Cleveland. Presi
dent of the United States, in perform
ance of a constitutional duty, do by
this proclamation declare that an ex
traordinary occasion requires the
-convening of both houses of the Uni
ted States at the Capitol in the city
of Washington on the 7th day of Au
gust next, at 12 o'clock noon, to the
end that the people may be relieved
through legislation from the present
and impending danger and distress.
All those entitled to act as members
of the fifty-third Congress are requir
ed to take notice of this proclamation
and attend at the time and place
above stated.
Given under my hand, and seal of
the United .States, at the city of
Washington, on the thirtieth day of
June, in the jear of our Lord, one
thousand eight hundred and ninety
three, and of the independence of the
the United States, the one hundred
and seventeenth.
Signed, Grover Cleveland,
The proclamation was issued at 6
o'clock this evening. The President
bad left directions for the issuance of
the proclamation before his departure
for Gray Gables. The determination
to call the extra session in the first
week" in August, instead of the first
week in September, it is understood
was only definitely arrived at this
morning's Cabinet session, after oiv
ing weight to njmerous telegrams
ceived from all, parts of the country
urging this course. Another consid-
eration which caused the President to
change his mind was forshadowed in
a remark made by one of hU Cabinet
officers two days ago. that if the
Presideut received reasonable as-

man silver purchase law, he might be
disposed to call Congress together
earlier thau he had announced. It is
inferred from the fact that the Presi-
dent has dono so, that he considers
be has obtained the assurace he de
sired. Most of the Cabinet has fol
lowed tne 'President' 8 example and
have left the city, or are leaving for
a brief vacation. Those who remain
say that the President's proclama
tion speaks-for itself and decline to
discuss the situation further. News-
Observer-Chronicle.
The' President after realizing the

and seeing that the cause could be
remedied by Congress, has issued Lis

lion recently extended him by. I he

highly recommended for the position
by friends in NorMi Carolina without
his knowledge, and' when it wa ten
dered him a few weeks ago it was a
surprise, and he requested a short
time to con-itier the poi'.io.. Yes

accepting their oHVr.
The new professor is a graduate in
medicine of the University of Virgin

the State, associate editor of the

the last meeting of the North Caro
lina Medical Society in Ralegh, he
was the o ator of the occasion, and
delivered a very handsome address
on '-Preventive Medicine."
While a young man Dr. Hodges
has come to the front in North Caro

of anatomy with credit ta himself
and honor to the school. He will
not come to Richmond until the lat

WHAT NORTH CAROLINIANS
SAY-
Senator Ramsom, of North Caro-
Una, said : -The President is ri2ht.
-
I think that his nction was wise. It
will be indorsed by the country.
The financial situation demanded an
extra session of Congress, and the
Executive has met the situation
squarely and plain. Much good may
result from it. 1 do not see that any
harm can come."
"I think the proclamation prema
ture," declared Capt. Alexander, ot
the Sixth North Carolina district,
and the pressure which brought It
about was all one sided. We could
have repealed the Sherman law last
session if some compromise . measure
could have been agreed upon. The
situation is a grave one, but the
present agitation would have settled
itself in a little while, and with time
to think the matter over Congress
men would have come together much
easier. I am neither friend or foe to
sjlver, but what I want is some meas
ure to relieve the agricultural dis
tricts from the stress and deprecia
tion in land values, and I think thai
a repeal of the tax on State banks
would go far toward helping us in
the South."
Congressman Grady, of the Third
North Carolina district, was in aa
argumentative imod. He agreed
withCapt. Alexander that the call
ror an extra session was a little pre
viou, am! thought that there was no
occasion or hurry or alarm. Fur
tbcrnioie, although no friend of the
Sherman law. which he characterize
as a sham, he did not beliere that it
.was entlrrlj responsible for the pan
c. "What we ne d in North Caroli
