CONGRESS CALLED To Assemble in Extra Session on Monday, August 7., Fr«MBt Financial Condition Impel! the President to Convene ConMontli Earlier than He Had Intended. Washington, July 1.—It lias been determined -to call the extra session of congress for Monday, August 7. At 6 o'clock last evening the following* proclamation was issued: PROCLAMATION. Executive Mansion, i Washington, D. C., June 30. f Whereas. The distrust and apprehension Donocrning the financial situation, which pervades all Easiness circles have already caused treat losses and damage to our people and threaten to cripple our merchants, stop the heels of manufacture; bring distress and deprivation to our farmers, withold from our orkingmen the wage of labor ; and Whereas, The present perilous condition is largely the result of a financial policy which the executive branch of the government finds Kiodin unwise laws which must be reby congress. efore I, Grover Cleveland, president of lited States, in performance of a constiil duty, by proclamation do declare that in extraordinary occasion requires the convening of bot h houses of congress-of the United States at the capitol, in the city of Washington, on the 7th day of August next, at 12 o'clock noon, to the end that the people may be relieved, through legislation, from present and impending danger and distress.

, President Cleveland. The president had left directions for :he issuance of the proclamation before his departure for Gray Gables, rhc determination to call the extra session the first week in August, instead of the first week in September, t is understood, was only definitely arrived at yesterday morning in cabilet session after giving full weight ■o the numerous telegrams reseived from all parts of the country urging this course. Another consideration which caused ,hd president to change his mind was 'oreshadowed in the remark made to me of his cabinet officers a few days ►go that if the president received reasonable assurances that, there was a ikelihood of a prompt repeal of the so-called Sherman law he might be dis►osed tocall congress together earlier han he had announced. The president left here at 4:20 yeserday afternoon over the Pennsylvania road for Buzzard's bay. He will »absent three weeks or more, his stay depending upon circumstances. Secretary Lamont accompanied the ►resident as far as New York. The ►resident’s determination to leave tljie ity was only reached yesterday mornug.and his departure so suddenly leaves , number of important appointments greed upon unsigned, and many seniors and congressmen, who have reently arrived, in the lurch. The facts appear to be that tjhe disurbances of values arising from the incertainties of the situation grew so .larming that Mr. Cleveland at last ras competed to acknowledge that the ‘unexpected” contingencies necessitatng "an earlier meeting of congress, rhich he spoke of in his celebrated inerview of June, had arrived. The ae

ion of the British government in India rought matters to a crisis. Previous a that startling event Mr. Cleveland ad manifested a firm determination »adhere to his plan of calling confess in September. After the suspenof silver coinage in India, the preslent resolutely declined to speak furlier about his intentions until he had een prepared to act, and each of his £binet officers maintained a similar Hence. It may be stated, however, ■ithout violation of Confidence, that ■om the day when the annoumceient of the action of India was lade, the president took steps to cep himself forewarned through se press dispatches of the lightest approach to panic in the oney market, and was prepared at ly moment to take the course which i has now adopted if it seemed to him tiat his so doing would in any way nd to allay alarm and restore public nlfidence. When to-day he found slegrams on ‘his table, not only from ne eastern and middle states, but also -om the south, and even from some the silver states of the northwest, rging that congress be called toether at the earliest day possible to ad the uncertainty, he determined to lay no longer; but even in takiDg is action the president took steps, as r as he could, to prevent its being before the . stock exchange losed. so as to Svoid any appearance exercising undue influence on the market. Xhe effect of the anouncement upon senators and repreitatives in the city was very marked, lator Voorhees, chairman of the committee, first knew of the resident's action when informed by a nited Press representative, lie was not surprised. ‘‘That being > case,” said the senator, “it will not long until we are again at work. iuch as congress has to deal with . subject of finance, it is well that get about it, and*the sooner the atter. I don’t know that congress or will bring relief to the country,

but it is our duty to make the effort and there is no wisdom in delay. The condition of the country certainly, to my mind, demands very prompt and decisive action, especially in view of the fact that everybody seems to be depending upon congress for a solution of our financial trouble. I think the president has acted wisely, and I have no doubt that as $oon as congress gets to work it will repeal the Sherman act. I voted against the bill when it came up on a nay and yea vote when it passed, and told the silver men who supported it that it was not the legislation they needed for silver, and that they would live to regret the day they supported it. That day has come, and I for one shall vote for its repeal. It must be understood, however, that I do not abate a single jot or tittle of my adherence to the coinage and the use of silver as money and proper regulations for its parity with gold." Senator Harris, president pro tern, of the senate, could not be seen personally, but from one to whom he had spoken regarding the call of an extra session, it is learned that he expressed the belief that the sooner it was done the sooner would be the relief to the whole country. “I voted against the Sherman act before and will vote for its repeal now,” said Mr. Brown, of Indiana. “The Sherman asct. it is claimed, was passed to prevent the enactment of a freecoinage bill. It would be nearer the truth to Say that it was passed to keep Jilr. Harrison from vetoing a free-coin-age bill and Appearing before the country as an opponent of silver.” , Cabinet officers who are in the city, when asked last night for an expression of opinion regarding the president's proclamation, were unconmuni

cative. Secretary Carlisle would not be seen. Attorney-General Olney said he did not -think he was the right man to come to tor an expression of views on the matter, and declined to talk. Secretary Herbert said the matter would involve a long discussion of a great many points, into which he did not care to enter. Senator Cockrell, of Missouri, was at'his residence in earnest conversation with Representative Dockery. He anticipated the object of the reporter’s call, and said he had no interview to give; that he had heard of the issuance of the proclamation only a short time before, but he had nq$ read it nor would he do so before to-day. TTie president, Mr. CQckrell said, had a right to issue a proclamation, as a matter of course, but for himself he had nothing whatever to say. Representative Enloe, of Tennessee, said it was perfectly proper for the president to convene congress in extraordinary session under the circumstances. “It may restore public confidence,” Mr. Enloe said, “still it is a question in my mind whether or not congress can furnish any relief.” Mr. Enloe believed it hardly probable that the Sherman law would be repealed without a substitute. Senator Ransom, of NortK Carolina, thought the action of the president good and wise, but would advance no opinion as to the matter in conversation. Representative Harlow, of Virginia, said that he favored the repeal of the Sherman law, but not unconditionally. He does not think the United States can abandon the use of white metal entirely. As to the advisability of the early call of congress he would not speak, nor would he advance an opinion as to what action that body would take. Ia New York. New York, Julyl.—President Cleveland, accompanied by Secretary of War Lamont. Mrs. Lamont and Miss Lamont arrived here at 10:30 o’clock last night over the Pennsylvania road. “I have nothing to say at all, now,” said the president to a reporter. “I have issued a proclamation caUing congress together on August 7. In that I have given my reasons for doing so and that is all there is to it.” Col. Lamont <jot out of the coach and talked with the reporter. He said: “The president is going directly on board of Mr. Benedict’s yacht, which il waiting in East river at the foot of Twenty-seventh street. Mr. Benedict

is on board, ana they will cruise slowly along the sound, reaching Buzzard’s Bay on Sunday evening or Monday morning. He will remain there about three weeks. Dr. Bryant will accompany him. 1 expect to remain in New York until Monday, perhaps later.” Col. Lamont said that' he knew nothing of any midnight conference on the Oneida between the president and New York bankers. EX'Ppesldent Harrison's Views. New York. July 1.—Ex-President Harrison last night, when asked his opinion of President Cleveland’s call for an August session of congress, said that, presuming that the latest dispatches contained correct information, it was about the only thing Mr. Cleveland could consistently do. “If he thinks,” said the ex-president, “that the country is in a state of strangulation and that he has a remedy, why the sooner he applies it the wiser he will show himself. If he thinks that he can give the necessary relief he would better lose no time. The cry is that there is not enough money., I think that there is plenty of money, but that people are holding en to what they have got and hoarding it. I am not prepared to say whether I think an August session of congress will restore confidence, which is said to be demoralized. There may be serious obstructions. I cannot tell what; may be the extent of Mr. Cleveland’s "knowledge on the subject, but I know that they would not have repealed the Sherman law for me. “I think that perhaps altogether too much of the much-corn plained-of stringency has been loaded upon the Sherman law”. , 1, The suit of Dr. Charles F. Simmons against the executors of the estate of the late Samuel J.

ARliOtx A:\CE VS. HUMILITY The Noted Brooklyn Divine Discourses on the Pharisee and Publican. The Prayers of the Two in the Temple Contrasted - A Goodly Sorrow for Sin Is Kepentauce—Dr. Tu Image's Sermon. Itev. Dr. Talmage selected as his ' subject last Sunday a picture of con- ; trust, “Arrogance and Humility,” the text bei'ig Luke xviii, 13: “God be merciful to me, a sinner!" No n ountain ever had a more brilliant coronet than Mount Moriah. The glories of the ancient temple blazed there. The mountain top was not originally large enough to hold the temple, and so a wall 600 feet high was erected, and the mountain was built out into that wall. It was at that point that Satan met Christ and tried to persuade him to cast himself down the 600 feet. The nine gates of . the temple flashed the light of silver and gold and Corinthian brass, which Corinthian brass was mere precious stones melted and mixed and crystallized. The temple itself was not so very large a structiu e, but the courts and the adjuncts of the architecture made it half a mile in circumference. We stand and look off upon that wondrous structure. What's the matter? What strange appearance in the temple? Is it fire? Why, it seems as if it were a mansion all kindled into flame. What’s the matter? Why, it’s the hour of morning sacrifice, and the smoke on the altar rises and bursts out of the crevices and out of the door and wreathes the mountain top with folds of smoke, through which glitter precious stones gathered and burnished by royal munificence.

I see two men mounting the steps of the building. They go side by side; they are very unlike; no sympathy between them—the one the pharisee, proud, arrogant, pompous, he goes up the steps of the building. He seems by his manner to say; “Clear the track! Never before came up these steps such goodness and consecration.” Beside him was the publican, bowed down 1 seemingly with a load on his heart. They reach the inclosure for worship in the midst of the temple. The pharisee goes close up to the gate of the holy of the holies. He feels he is worthy to stand there. He says practically: “I am so holy I want to go into the holy of holies. 0 Lord, I am a very good man. I’m a remarkably good man. Why, two days in the week I eat absolutely nothing. I’m so good. I’m very generous in my conduct toward the poor. I have no sympathy with the common rabble; especially have I none with this poor, miserable, commonplace, wretched publican who happened to come up the stairs beside me.” The publican went clear to the other side of the inclosure, as far away from the gate of the holy of holies as he could get, for he felt unworthy to stand near the sacred place. And the Bible says he stood afar off. Standing on the opposite side of this inclosure he bows 'his head, and as orientals when they have any trouble beat their breasts, so ■he begins to pound his breast as he cries, “God be merciful to me, a sinner!” Oh, was there ever a greater contrast? The incense that wafted that morning from the priests censer was not so sweet as the publican’s prayer floating into the opening Heavens, while the prayer of the pharisee died on his contemptuous lips and, rolled down into his arrogant heart. Worshiping there they join each other and go side by side down the steps, the pharisee cross, wretched, acrid, saturnine; the publican with his face shining with the very joys of Heaven, for “I fell you that this man went down, to his house justified

rather than the other. Now, I put this publican’s prayer under analysis, and 1 discover in the first place that he was persuaded of his sinfulness. He was an honest man, he was a taxgatherer, he was an officer of the government The publicans were taxffatherers, and Cicero says they were the adornment of the state. Of course they were somewhat unpopular, because people then did not like to pay their taxes any better than people now like to pay their taxes, and there were many who disliked them. Still, I suppose this publican, this taxgatherer, was an honerable man. He had an office of trust. There were many hard things said about him, and yet, standing there in that inclosure of the temple amid the demonstrations of God’s holiness and power, he cries out from the very depths of his stricken soul, “God be merciful to me, a sinner!” lly what process shall I prove that I am a sinner? By what process shall I prove that you are a sinner? Shall 1 ask ybu to weigh your motives, to scan your actions, to estimate your behavior? I will do nothing of the kind. I will draw my judgment rather from the plan of the work that God has achieved for your salvation. You go down in a storm to the beach, and you see wreckers put on their rough jackets and launch the lifeboat and then shoot the rockets to show that& help is coming out into the breakers, and you immediately cry: ““A shipwreck!” And when I see the Lord Jesus Christ putting aside robe and crown and launch out on the tossing sea of. human suffering and satanic hate, going out into the thundering surge of death, I cry: “‘A shipwreck!” I know that onr souls are dreadfully lost by the work that God has done to save them. Are you a sinner? Suppose you had a commercial agent in Charleston or San Francisco or Chicago, and you were paying. him promptly his salary, and you found out, after awhile, that notwithstanding he had drawn the salary he had given nine-tenths of all the time to some other commercial establishment. Why, your indignation would know no bounds. And yet that is just the way we have treated the Lord. He sent us out into this world to serve Him. He has taken good care of us— j He has clothed us, He has sheltered us, ! and He has surrounded us with 10,000 | benefactions, and yet many of us have j given nine-tenths of our lives to the !

ttrvico oc the world, the liesh and the devil, flliy, jny friend, the Bible is full of confession, and I do not find anybody is pardoned until he has confessed. What did David say? “I will confess my transgressions unto the Lord.” What did Isaiah say? “Woe is me, because I am a man of unclean lips.” What did Ezra- say? “Our iniquities are increased over our head, and our trespass is grown up into heaven.” And among the millions before the throne of God to-night not one got there until he confessed. The coast of eternal sorrow is strewn with the wreck of those who, not taking the warning, drove with the cargo of immortal hope into the white tangled foam of the breakers. . Repent.' the voice celestial cries. Nor longer dare delay; The wretch that scorns the mandate dies And meets the fiery day. But I analyze the publican's prayer a step further, and I find that he expected no relief except through God’s mercy.' Why did he not say, I am an honorable man. When I get 810 taxes, I pay them over to the government. I give full permission to anybody to audit my accounts. I appeal to thy justice, O God! He made no such plea. He threw himself flat on God’s mercy. Have you *any idea that a man by

breaking- off the scales of the leprosycan change the disease? Have you any idea that you can by changing your life change your heart, that you can purchase your way to Heaven? Come, try it. Come, bring all the bread you ever gave to the hungry, all the medicineyou ever gave to the sick, all the kind words you have ever uttered, all the kind deeds that have ever distinguished you. Add them all up into the tremendous aggregate of good words and works, and then you wiU see Paul sharpen his knife as he cuts that spirit of self satisfaction, as he cries, “By the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified.” Well, say a thousand men in this audience, if I am not to get anything in the way of peace from God in good works, how am I to be saved? By mercy. Here I stand to teU the story— mercy, merej-, long suffering mercy, sovereign mercy, infinite mercy, omnipotent mercy, everlasting mercy. Why, it seems in the Bible as if aU language were exhausted, as if it were stretched until broke, as if all expression were struck dead at the feet of prophet and apostle and evangelist when it tries to describe God’s mercy. Oh, says some one, that is only adding to my crime if I come and confess before God and seek his mercy. No, no! The murderer has come, and while he was washing the blood of his victim from his hands looked into the face of God and cried for mercy, and his soul has been white in God’s pardoning love! And the soul that has wandered off in the streets and down to the very gates of hell has come back to her father's house, throwing her arms around his neck, and been saved by the mercy that saved Mary Magdalen. But, says some one, you are throwing open that door of mercy too wide. No, I will throw it open wider. I will take the responsibility of saying that if all this audience, instead of being gathered in a semi-circle, were placed side by side in one long line they could aU march right through that wide open gate of mercy. “Whosoever,” “whosoever.” Oh, this mercy of God. There is no line long enough to fathom it; there is no ladder long enough to scale it; there is no arithmetic facile enough to Calculate it; no angel’s wing can fly

across it. Heavenly harpers, aided by choirs with feet like the sun, can not compass that harmony of mercy, mercy. It sounds in the rumbling of the celestial gate. I hear it in the chiming of the celestial towers. I see it dashing in the uplifted and downcast coronets of the saved. I hear it in the thundering tread of the bannered host round about the throne, and then it comes from the harps and crowns and thrones and processions to sit down, unexpressed, on a throne overtopping all Heaven—the throne of mercy. How I was affected when some one told me in regard to that accident on Long Island sound, when one poor woman came and got her hand on a raft as she tried to save herself, but those who were on the raft thought there was no room for her, and one man came and most cruelly beat ahd bruised her hands until she fell off. Oh, I bless God that this lifeboat of the gospel has room enough for the sixteen hundred millions of the race—room for one, room for all, and yet there is room. I push this analysis of the publican’s prayer a step further and find that he did not expect any money except by pleading for it. He did not fold his hands together.as some do, saying: “If I’m to be saved, I’U be saved; I I’m to be lost, Ml be lost, and there is nothing for me to do.” He knew what was worth having- was worth asking for; hence this earnest cry of the text: “God, be merciful to me, a sinner!” It was an earnest prayer, and it is characteristic of all Bible prayers that they were answered. The blind man, “Lord, that I may receive my sight;” the leper, “Lord, if thou wilt thou canst make me clean;” sinking Peter, “Lord, save me;” the publican, “God, be merciful to me, a sinner!” But if you come up with the tip of your finger and tap at the gate of mercy it will not open. You have got to have the earnestness of the warrior, who, defeated and pursued, dismounts from his lathered steed and with gauntleted fists pounds at the palace gate. You have got to have the earnestness of the man who at midnight in the fourth story has a sense of suffocation with the house in flames, goes to the window and shouts to the fireman, “Help!” Oh, unforgiving soul, if you were in full earnest I might have to command silence in the auditory, for your prayers would drown the voice of the speaker and we have to pause in ■ the great service! It is because you do not realize your sin before God that | you are not this moment crying mercy, I mercy, mercy. This prayer of the publican was also j an humble prayer. The pharisee looked j uu. the publican looked down. You '

can not behaved as a metaphysician, you can not be saved as a scholar; you can not be saved as an artist; yon cai. not be saved as an official. If you are ever saved at all, it will be as a sinner. Another characteristic of the prayer of the publican was, it had a ring of confidence. It was not a cry of*despair. He knew he was going to get what he asked for. He wanted mercy. He asked for it, expecting it. And do you tell me, O man, that God has provided this salvation and is not• going to let you have it? If a man builds a bridge across a river, will he not let people go over it? If a physician gives , a prescription to a sick man, will he not let him take it? If an architect puts up a building, will he not let people in it? If God provides salvation, will he not let you have it? Oh, if there be a pharisee here, a

man who says: I am %U right. My past life has been right. I don’t want the pardon of the Gospel, for I have no sin to pardon, let me say that while that man is in that mood there is no peace for him, there is no pardon, no salvation, and the probability is that he will go down and spend eternity withe the lost pharisees of the text. Hut if there be here one who says, I want to be better; I want to quit my sins; my life has been a very imperfect life; how many things h*ve I said that I should not have said; how many things I have done I should not have done; I want to change my life; I want to begin now; let me say to such a soul, God is waiting, God is ready, and .you are near the kingdom, or rather you have entered it, for no man says, I am determined to serve God and surrender the sins of my life; here, now, I consecrate myself to the Lord Jesus Christ who died to redeem me—no man from the depth of his soul says that he is already a Christian. My uncle, Rev. Samuel K. Talmage, of Augusta, Ga., was passing along the streets of Augusta one day, and he saw a man, a black man, step from the sidewalk out into the street, take his hat off and bow very lowly. My uncle was not a man who demanded obsequiousness, and he said, “What do you do that for?” “Oh,” says the man, “massa, the other night I was going along the street, and I had a burden on my shoulder, and I was sick, and I was hungry, and I came to’the door of your church, and you were preaching about ‘God be merciful to me, a sinner!’ and I stood there at the door long enough to hear you say that if a man could utter that prayer from the depths of his soul God would pardon him and finally take him to Heaven. Then I put my burden on my shoulder, and I started home. I got to my home, an'd I sat down, and said, ‘God be merciful to mg, a sinner?” but it got darker and darker, and then, massa. I got down on my knees, and I said, ‘God be merciful to me, a sinner!’ and the burden got heavier, and it got darker and darker. I knew not what to da Then I got down on my face, and I cried, ‘God be merciful to me, a sinner!’ and away off I saw a; light coming, and it came nearer and nearer and nearer until all was bright in my heart, and f arose. I am happy now— the burden is all gone—and 1 said to myself if ever I met you in the street I would get clear off the sidewalk, and I would bow down and take my hat off before you. I feel that I owe more to you than to any other man. That is the reason I bow before you.” Oh, are there not many now who can utter this prayer, the prayer of the black man, the prayer of the publican,

“uod be mercnui to me, a sinner. While I halt in the sermon, will you not all utter it? I do not say audibly, but utter it down in the depths of your souls’ consciousness. Yes, the sigh goes all through the galleries, it goes all through the pews, it goes all through these aisles, sigh after sigh—God be merciful to me, a sinner! Have you all uttered it? No, there is one soul that has not uttered it—too proud to utter it, to hard to utter it. O Holy Spirit, descend upon that one heart! Yes, he begins to breathe it now. No bowing of the head yet, but the prayer is beginning—it is born. God be me merciful to me, a sinner. Have all uttered it? Then I utter it myself, for no one in all the house needs it more than my own soul—God be merciful to me, a sinner! If Two Worlds Should Meet. Our world is spinning through space at a speed of over one thousand miles per minute. Should it come in collision with a globe of equal size going at the same rate of speed, what would be the result? The very best thinkers of the'age tell us that heat enough would be generated by the shock to transform both of the colliding bodies into gigantic balls of vapor many times their present circumferences. Some have thought that in casp the center of the earth is composed of solid and colder matter than is the generally accepted belief this might not be the case, but after searching all the leading authorities 1 must admit that I can not find a more appropriate “finis” than the following, which is from an eminent scientist: “Should such an unheard of event occur the heat generated would be sufficient to melt, boil and completely. vaporize a mass of ice fully seven hundred times the bulk of both the colliding worlds—in other words, an ice plant one hundred and fifty thousand miles in diameter!”—St. Louis Republic. __ —The conversation turned on the number thirteen, the spilling of salt, knives and forks placed crosswise, and other kinds of superstitions. “You need not laugh at similar beliefs,” gravely remarked Tranquilletti. “An uncle of mine at the age of seventyseven committed the imprudence of going to a dinner at which the guests numbered thirteen.” “And he died that very evening?” “No, but exactly thirteen years afterwards.”.—Gazetta Piedmontese. —Treetop—In the big stores I was in, they seemed to expect me to stand on my head.
