WARMERS SILVER BILL.
No Probability of "a Compromise,
but Straight issue Expected.

WASHINGTON, September II. - The
Evening Star has the following: Repre-
sentative Warner, OF Ohio, is in the city
to-day, having come here to see Secre-
tary Manning and Treasurer Jordan abont
his proposed silver compromise bill. Mr..
Warner has been consulting with all the
prominent silver men he could reach,
with view OF strengthening his PROPOSE
ton The most important persons on
both sides OF the question are said, how
ever, to stand in their original position,
and the prospects for compromise are
not thought to be good. Both Mr.. Bland
and Mr.. Reagan are quoted as declaring
their determination to stand by the Bland
dollar uncompromisingly and the anti
silver men say that President Cleveland
has not altered his views in the least
since writing his famous anti-silver letter
shortly after his election. The prospect
seems to be Tor
\ STRAIGHT ISSUE on BOTH SIDES,
And the outcome depends upon whether
or not the Administration has received
enough converts since the last session to
put them in control of the House on that
question, which, it is thought, will be
most important in the organization of the
House, and in this respect Speaker Car
Isle will be placed in an embarrassing
position. There is no idea that he will
meet with any opposition in his canvass
for the Speakership, and he will have to
decide as to the organization of the Coin
age, Weights and Measures Committee,
which will have the silver question be-
fore it. According to general custom the
old chairmen who have served satisfac-
torily will be appointed at the heads of
their respective committees. Thus, Mr.
Morrison will be expected to 90 at the
head of the Ways and Means; Mr.. Ran
dall's friends will claim for him the APP
preparation Committee, and Mr. Bland
will expect to be placed at the head of
the Coinage, Weights and Measures Com
mittee, organized according to his
ideas, SO that the silver men will be in
control. Should his expectations be
accomplished,
THE SILVER MEN WOULD HAVE THE REINs
In their own hands, and the Administra-
ton would be defeated at the outset. On
the other hand, if Mr.. Carlisle should re-
fuse to replace Mr.. Bland in his old posi-
ton, or should organize the committe so
as to take the power out of his hands, it
would have the tendency to commit the
House to the support of the administra-
ton before any vote had been taken, and
to plunge itinto a long and exciting con-
test at once. In the face OF those circunl-
stances, it is important to know what
Carlisle's views OF the question are. The
silver men naturally reckon on his being
with them as opposed to the New York |
bankers, but it is understood that he has
studied the question very carefully and is
inclined to think, with the President, that |
there is
DANGER IN THE UNLIMITED COINAGE
OF silver dollars. This question is giving |
him more uneasiness than the tariff or |
else that may come before Con- |
gress this winter, and for months past he |
has been talking with men on both sides
and making careful study of the uues-
ton. Representative Warner expressed |
