For an Farly Hesslon or Con
gresk. Cincinnati. O., June 27. At t confi-r.
encv nt hankers and mcmocrs ot the
board of trade last evening, resolutions
were adopted favoring an early session
of Congress, the immediate repeul of the
Sherman bill and the puttint; of lOO
cent of silver in the silver dollar.
Washington, June 27. One effect of the
action of the government of India sus
pending the free coinage of silver lias been
to renew the demand for aa.rly session
of congress. This view of the situation
was presented to Secretary Carlisle this
morning by many of his congressional
callers and by numerous telegrams from
all sections of the country. Rcfore go
ing to the cabinet Secretary ("nrlisle re
ceived a cablegram from London an
nouncing a further decline in the price of
silver to 35 oencc. At this price the sil
ver dollnr is worth 5Hx,i cents.
The action of the India government in
closing India mints to the free coinage of
silver is regarded here as doing; away
with the necessity for reconvening the
international conference, which was to
meet ajjain in Brussels this fall. It is
not believed that this nction wos taken
without express orders from tbe En
glish government, which has a general
suixTvision and control over Indian
affairs.
London, tunc 27. In the House of
Lords yesterday the Earl of K.inilcrly
slated that the Indian council held passed
an act for the immediate closing of the
Indian mints to the frcecoinagc of silver.
He added that arrangements are licing
made to issue rupees from mints in ex
change for gold at the rate of sixteen
lencc er rupee, and lor receiving sover
eigns and half sovereigns ut the treas
uries in payment ol dues at the same
rate. The Earl ot Kimbcrly furt her said
that it is intended to introduce the gold
standard in India, but that the old gold
in the mint will not be made the sole
It'linl tender.
In the House ot Commons Ol-idstouc
gave information similar to that given
in the Houscof L'-nlsby llicKnrl nf Kim-
Itcrlv and lie added that gold would not
lie made legal tender at present .

Ihe Defence.
Atlanta. Ga., June 27. The fulia
Korce murder case began yesterday and
was resumed this morning before Judge
Richard Clark. The statement of Miss
force was introduced by Solicitor Hill
for the prosecution. This statement was
written by Miss lulia, and she claimed
that it embodied a true statement of her
entire life up to the time of the killing of
her two sisters. It was remarkable in
that it pretended to extend back to six
months before she was born. Messrs.
Oeorge and Allen Force were put upon
the stand by the defence and denied the
truth ot her statement. Miss Sarah
Colly testified that Miss Force told her
that the statement was written on Tues
day liefore the killing. It is an unusual
thing to see the family of the murdered
person seated by the murderer or mur
deress, but such was the case this morn
ing when the opening argument was
beard by the solicitor.
Solicitor Hill and counsel for the de
fense announced that they had closed.
The solicitor made a few remarks out
lining tbe State's case. He was followed
hv Mr. Burton Smith lor the defence.
Mr Smith made a strong appeal to the
I tiry, and the eliect of it was plainly
visible upon the faces of several. Col.
larncman, of Macon, followed also tor
the defence. He is akinsmanof Miss Force
and he made an exceptionally fine argu
ment. When Hardeman relerred to the
fact lhat Miss Julia Force had wished her
mother damned, the defendant was
affected and sobbed.
