BANDS SILVER DOLLAR.
oovGKESS TO HAVE A HARD
EIGHT ON THE QUESTION.

,- Carlisle,s Choice of Commit
f.,a,,cr one of the Most Important Ad-
meta OF the COnflict-Both Sides
yg,roYe and a Compromise Bill the
probabIe Outcome.
WARRINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE -EUeni1g
r.r has the following: Representative
warner. of Ohio, is in the city to-day,
..,fre come here TO see Secretary Man
md Treasurer Jordan about his pro-
.so1 silver compromise bill. MIR. War
has been consulting with all the
eminent silver men he could reach with
view of strengthening his proposition.
rta most important persons on both sides
~ the question are said, however, to stand
,, their original position, and the pros
,'a,t. NJ a compromise are not thought to
be good.
TO STAND BY THEIR CoLoRs.
Roth Nessrs. Bland and Reagan are
o,,tad as declaring their determination
y, stand by the Bland dollar uucompro-
nf.ipyIv. and the anti-silver men say that
1,-ss,dant Cleveland has not altered his
risys in the least since writing his IA
moDs anti-silyer letter shortly after his
slection. The prospect seems to bo tor
strsigbt issue on both sides, and the out
eome depends upon whether or not the
o5ministration has received enough con-
yerts since the last session to put them in
control OF the House on that question,
which. it ls thought, will be the most i'm
n,rtant in the organization of the House,
H and I'm this respect Speaker Carlisle Will
he placed in an embarrassing position.
MR.. CARLIsLE's DELICATE DUTIES.
There is no idea that he will meet with
.ny oppOsition in his canvass for the
H spaakership. and he will have to decide
os 10 the organization of the Coinage,
4 Weights and Measures Committee, which
Il will have the silver question before it.
According to the general custom the old
cbairmen, who have served satisfactorily,
4 vil be reappointed at the heads of their
& respective committees. Thus, Mr.. Nor
E nson will expect to go at the head Of the
8 Ways and Means, and Mr.. Randall's
8 friends will claim for him the Appropri~
8 atoms Committee, and Mr.. Bland will ex-
& pect to be placed at the head OF the Coin
s. age, Weights and Measures Committee.
COUNTING ON CLEAN SWEEP.
He will expect also that the committee
will De organized according to his ideas,
q SO that the silver men will be in control.
81 Should his expectations be accomplished
8 the silver men would have the reins in
81 tgelr own hands, and the administration
Il would be defeated at the outset. On the
4. other hand, if Mr.. Carlisle should refuse
s to place Mr. Bland in his old position, or
should organize the committee so as to
take the power out of his hands, 1t would
s. have tendency to commit the House to
81 the support OF the administration before
any vote had been taken, and to plunge
81 it into a long and exciting contest at
once.
MIR. CARLIsLE's VIEWS.
IN the face Of these circumstances IL is
Important to know what Mr.. Carlisle's
views on the question are. The silver
# men naturally reckon on his being with
item AS opposed to the New York bank
trs, but it is understood that he has
studied the question very carefully, and
n is inclined to think with the President,
that there is danger in unlimited coinage
Of silver dollars. This question is giving
him more uneasiness than the tariff, or
anything else that may come before Con-
gress this winter, and for months past he
has been talking with men on both sides
and making a careful study of the situa-
ton. Representative Warner expressed
the opinion to-day that Congress would
pass a compromise silver bill this session.
DOUBLE MISSION.
Special Dispatch 10 the Nei0s.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.-COngressnan
Andrew jackson Warner, Of Ohio, ar
tyed this morning. He has two errands.
be wants the administration to adopt his
silver compromise bill, and he wants the
SFll service Commissioners removed.
Tue administration disapproves Mr.. War
uers silver scheme, and mas no idea OF
ADOPTING 1t or any other compromise.
Nothing makes the Civil Service Commits
h'ners more secure in their places
man Mr.. Warmers desire 20 get
I1em out. Nevertheless, nothing
can prevent Mr.. Warner from
carrying out his aYerred intention of call
lg on the President and the Cabinet and
Nlalng TO them by the hour on these sub
E eg,S. He will probably find it easier 10
Alk with Treasurer Jordan. He is the
u|quoied Treasury official7 who is dis
posed 10 accept Mr.. Warmers silver COM
s E''mise with some modification, but
i.e'suIer Jordan speaks for nobody but
