CARLISLE IN A TIGHT PLACE. Concern Than Any Matter To Come Before The Next Congress.
 WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.-Representative l Warren of Ohio is in Washington to-day
 He says it is his belief that Congress will
 pass compromise silver bill at the next ses- sion Referring to the silver question as likely to be & prominent issue at the coming session of Congress the Star publishes an ar ticle purporting to give the attitude of the administration and of congressional leaders on the subject. It says:
 ssBoth Mr. Bland and MT. 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 anti-silver letter short
 ly after his election. The prospect seems to be for straight issue on both sides and the outcome depends on whether or not the administration has received ton to put it in control of
 the House on that question, which it is
 thought will be the most important in the organization of the body. In this respect Speaker Carlisle will be placed in a very awkward position. There is no idea that he WILL meeL WILL any OppoSlGlOu III HIS aAfas9 for the speakership and he will have to de- eide as to the organization of the Coinage,
 Weights and Measures committee which will have the silver question before 1t. Accord ing to custom the old chairman, who served acceptably, will be reappointed at the head of the committee. Thus MT. Morrison
 will expect to go at the head of the Ways and Means MT. Randall's friends will claim for him the Appropriations committee and MT.
 Bland will be expected at the head of the Coinage, Weights and Measures committee. He will expect also that the committee will be 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 rsins in their own hands and the administration would be de- feated at the outset. On the other hand, if MT. Carlisle should refuse to place MT. Bland in his old position should organize the committee so as to take the power out of his hands, it would have the tendency to commit the House to the support of the administration before any vote had been taken and would precipitate long and warm contest at once. In the face of these circumstances it is inn portant to know what MT. Carlisle's views on the question are. The silver men natur- ally reckon on his being with them op posed to the New York bankers, but it is understood that he has studied the question carefully and is inclined to think, with the President, that there is danger in the unlim- ited coinage. This question is giving him more uneasiness than the tariff or anything else that may come before Congress this winter and for months past he has been talk ing with men on both sides and making careful study of the situation
