McLaurin attacks the bill as a trap while Carnegie visits to press naval test concerns. Congress to reconvene with caucus moves and possible plan to bind votes.

Gold Treasuries Melt as Uncle Sam Hesitates
The piece critiques gold as a volatile asset for the U S Treasury, likening it to a spoiled child and noting pressures of currency value. It weaves in political satire about Populists and references to Senator Tillman and Irby, plus domestic anecdotes about farming, church questions, and a dealer’s view on silver and cotton prices.
