Ylio Presidriit l.lnli-ns to the Demand for an Early Xe>tAinii of Uoiiereti*. and Fixes the Date of Ita Assetiihlioic at AiiKiiMt 7 Instead of In September—Full Text of 11 la reoelamatlon He Feela Certain of the Hepeal of the Sherman Law. Washington, July 1. — After carefully going over all the details at the cabinet meeting tile president issued a proclumatiiSi Friday afternoon calling an extra session of congress, beginning August 7, 1893, ns follows: "Executive Mansion, Washington, D. C., June 31, 1893.— Whereas, The distrust and apprehension concerning the financial situation which pervade all business circles have already caused trreat loss and danint’e to our people and threaten to cripple our merchants, stop the Wheels of nmnufai turc, brltiK distress and i>rivation to our farmers and withhold from our worUlnxmen the wage of labor: and "Whereas, The present perilous condition Is largely the result of a financial policy which tho executive branch of the government finds embodied in unw ise laws which must be executed until repealed by congress; A “Now, therefore, I, Grover Cleveland, presl ™ dent of the United States, in performance of a constitutional duty, do, by this proclamation, declare that an extraordinary occasion requires the convening of both houses of the congress of the United States at the capital in the city of Washington on the 7th day of August next, at 12 o'clock noon, to the end that the i>eople may be relieved through legislation from present and impending danger and distress. "AH lho.se entitled to act as members of the Fifty-third congress are required to take notice i of ihls proclamation and atleud at the time and

place alHive stated.

“Given under my hand and the seal of the United States at the city of Washington on the Both day of June, in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-three, and of the independence of the United Statoe the one hundred and seventeenth.

"Grover Cleveland."

The determination to call an extra Session hail hardly been announced ere tlitve was a hasty departure from the white house; and shortly after 4 o'clock the president was en route to Buzzard’s Bay to join Mrs. Cleveland. Beyond fixing up certain western appointments no other business was transacted, it being the desire of the chief magistrate to give as much time as poosible to the preparation of his message to congress, besides recuperating from his work since the inauguration. It is understood that the president will transact only the most urgent public business while at Buzzard's Bay, and what official announcements are to he made will be given out at the executive man-

sion in Washington.

The determination to call the extra session the first week in August, instead of the first week in September, it is understood was only definitely arrived at at Friday morning's cabinet session after giving full weight to the numerous telegrams received from all parts of tt« country urging this course. And the consideration which caused the president to change his mind was foreshadowed in a remark made by one of his cabinet officers two days ago that if the president received reasonable assurances that there was a likelihood of a prompt j repeal of the so-called Sherman purchase law he might be disposed to call j congress together earlier than he had [ announced. It is inferred from the J fact that the president has done so that he considers he lias obtained the assur- j

ranees which he desired.

Developments make it appear that the disturbances of values arising from the uncertainties of the situation grew so alarming that Mr. Cleveland at last ; was compelled to acknowledge that 5 “the unexpected contingencies necessitating tin earlier meeting of congress," which he spoke of in his celebrated interview of June 5, had arrived. The action of the British government in India brought matters to a crisis. Previous ! to that startling event Mr. Cleveland had manifested a firm determination to \ adhere to his plan of calling congress | in September. After the suspension of silver coinage in India the president resolutely declined to speak further about his intentions until he should be prepared to act, and each of his caliinet officers maintained i a similar silence. It may be stated, however, without violating confidence, that from the day when the announcement of the action of India was made tlie president took steps to keep himself forewarned through the press dispatches of tlie slightest approach to panic in the money market, and was prepared at any moment to take the course which he hits now adopted if it seemed to him that his so doing would in any way tend to allay alarm and re-

store public confidence.

When n*i Friday lie found telegrams on itis table not only from the eastern and middle states, but also from the south, and even from some of the silver states, urging that congress be called together at the earliest day possible, to end the uncertainty, lie determined to delay no longer; but even in taking this action the president took steps, as far as he could, to prevent its being known before the stock exchanges closed so as to avoid any appearance of exercising undue influence on the (

stock market.

The action of the president apparently meets with the commendation and approval of most of the members and | politicians now in the city, and tlie opinion is almost general that the ! Sherman act will lie repealed. The proposition is not refuted, probably for tlie reason that thefree silver moil, who will conduct tlie fight against repeal, have few members now in the city. Thp free silver men, however, will oppose any attempt to repeal the Sherman law » with all their strength. The fact that! the mines in the west have been closed will lie used as a weapon with which to ! force any wavering member iu their i

ranks buck into the fold. N«*jCro YiurdM-iT hot.

New York, July 1. — Anthony J. Drexel, the great American banker, died on Friday at Carlsbad, Germany. A private dispatch received at the banking hone of Drexel, Morgan it Co. in Wall street at 1 o’clock announced the sail event, and a similar dispatch was received by Drexel & Co., of Philadelphia. When the information contained in them was made public it created a sensation. Both cablegrams were signed by Daniel B. Hoskins, son-in-law of minister’ to Germany Runyon. Mr. Hoskins is staying at Carlsbad, where Mr. Drexel was taking the waters for a kidney complaint. An soon as the startling announcement of the millionaire banker's death was received telegrams asking for further information were sent to Mr. Hoskins, Minister Runyon and Mr. Drexel’s nephew, who is traveling with

ANTHONY J. DREXEL. him. A confirmatory dispatch was received at 2:15 p. m. The message stated : that Mr. Drexel had a slight attaek of pleurisy, but recovered and was then seized with apoplexy, from which he

died.

The announcement of Mr. Drexel’* death occasioned tlie greatest sorrow among both bankers and the general public here and in Philadelphia. Tlie members of the Philadelphia banking house, presuming on the authenticity of the report of Mr. Drexel's death, said that the death of Mr. Drexel will not affect the business of that firm. Mr. Drexel, it is said, made provisions for the inevitable some years ago, and his money, or the greater portion of it, will remain in the firm. His interest in the firm of Drexel A Co. is estimated to be more than $10,000,000. Mr. Drexel is said to have arranged his affair:* more than two years ago. Mr. Wright, one of the managing directors of Drexel, Morgan & Co., cabled J. Pierrepont Morgan, who is now in London, the news of Mr. Drexel's death, and says that Mr. Morgan will go at once to Carlsbad and with Mr. Harris, who accompanied Mr. Drexel abroad, will make preparations to have the body brought to this country. Tlie body of the dead financier will lie placed in the Drexel mausoleum in Philadelphia, where other members of the family rest. This mausoleum is one of the finest in the country and was built about twelve years ago. Mr. Drexel's fortune, estimated at from $20,000,000 to $35,000,000, will remain in the family, but it is said that he frequently expressed the intention of leaving substantial donations to the Drexel college in Philadelphia, which he endowed with $2,000,000, and tlie home for printers at Colorado Springs, which he and George W. Childs jointly

endowed.

Mr. Drexel was one of the most prominent bankers of this country. He was at the head of the firm of Drexel & Co., in Philadelphia, and was a partner in the New York house of Drexel, Morgan & Co. and the Paris bank of Drexel, Harjes & Co. The banks in which he was interested also maintained close business relations with J. S. Morgan & Co., the London bankers. Tlie various Drexel banking hoftses have always been money-furnishing establishments. They have condueted a careful and conservative business in supplying the capital for private and corporate undertakings, and have in the course of their history engineered successfully many financial operations of far-reaching interest. Anthony J. Drexel always took a deep interest in the affairs of these establishments, and much of the success which they enjoyed lias been due to his sagacity and keen business instinct. Mr. Drexel had a quick perception, and his ability to at once comprehend the chief bearing of the proposition at hand enabled him to prompt-

ly exercise his judgment.

Mr. Drexel was the son of Francis Martin Drexel, a native of the Austrian Tyrol, who to avoid one of Napoleon Bonaparte’s conscriptions came to this 1 country and settled in Philadelphia. The elder Drexel founded tlie great banking house of Drexel & Co., in Philadelphia, in 1837. The Paris branch was founded in 1868, and the New York house—Drexel, Morgan & Co.—in 1871. Anthony J. Drexel was born iu Philadelphia in 1826. and during tlie greater part of itis life was at the head of the bank in that city founded by his father, having been identified with that institution ever since he was 13 years of age. His brother, Joseph W. Drexel, who was the leading spirit in the New York house, died in that city in isss. Beth brotlters were illustrious examples of wealth combined with whole-hearted,

practical philanthropy.
