Carlisle Mach Amused at the Reports of
His Interview With Cleveland.
WASHINGTON, February Randall,
Chairman of the Appropriations COMMITTEES,
said to-day that the appropriation bills
would be ready as fast as the House could
could dApose Ct them, and he saw no reason
whatever for the statement that there was
danger Of an extra session. The committee
took up the Legislative bill to-day, and will
have it ready TO report to the House before
the Postoffice bill shall have been disposed OF.
This and the Sundry Civil are the most
important bills, as they appropriate over
forty millions OF dollars In speaking OF
the River and Harbor bill, some Of the
members OF the Appropriations Committee
remarked that the appropriation for the
Galveston harbor, Hennepin Canal and
other private schemes in the measure
would undoubtedly be eliminated
Speaker Carlisle returned from Albany
this morning and is so much indisposed that
he was unable to preside at the House to-
day. and designated Mr.. Blackburn as
Speaker pro tenn. This being suspension
day by individual members, and there being
some twenty or twenty-five names on Speak
er Carlisle's list for recognition, inquiry has
arisen whether the acting Speaker, Blackburn
would recognize these names in their order
Mr.. Blackburn indicated that he should be
governed By his own views. He has prom!
ised the friends Of the Bankruptcy bill and
the committee that are pressing Its cousid-
GRAFTON that he will give them an opportu-
nity to fix day for its consideration. Rep
resentative Collins, who had charge Of the
matter, has suggested that Representative
Morse should make a motion to bring it up.
CarlisIe1Euch Amused.
Speaker Carlisle is very much amused at
reports published in New York papers con-
cerning what occurred in the interview be
tween Cleveland and himself. While the
| Speaker is not disposed TO reveal any OF
the points in conversation, he does
not hesitate to say that what is
alleged to have taken place in refer
ence TO the Morrison bill, and the attitude
/ of the Democrats in the House to that
measure is wholly imaginary, and II can be
/ stated that the conversation was general 10
/ Its character and related to administrative
reform, aud the tariff question was only al
] luded to incidentally. 1t is understood that
! neither Mr.. Randall nor Mr.. Carlisle eX
pressed any extreme views on this question
and that Cleveland was entirely satisfied
With the position assumed BY these gen
tlemen on revenue reform. While there
1 was very full and free talk about the repre-
sentation Of Democrats throughout the
country, there was nothing said to lead
either Carlisle or Randall to infer WhC
wsuld likely be selected for the Treasury Of
any other Cabinet place. They believe
however, that in his seleCtion for the Treas
ury Department he viii endeayOr to chOos'
q conservative man who viii be satisfactory
TO the country.
