me young woman whom he proposed to

wife of Fred l.. Anderson, OF Boston, from
whom she had been divorced, is member
OF variety troupe which performed in a
variety theatre here last week.
Last night she went over to
New York with the troupe, which
is to perform there this week, and Sulh-
van, Grady, and Miner went with her.
Sullivan announced that he proposed TO
marry her in New York to-day. Annie
Livingston is described as a large and
stylish-looking woman Of some beauty.
WARMERS SILVER SCHEME.
Congressman Andrew jackson Warner,
OF Ohio, arrived to-day. He has kept up
his correspondence respecting silver with
members on both sides of the next House,
and claims to know just what can be
done. He said to-day: "An effort VIII
first be made to repeal absolutely the
Bland act. This will fail. There will be
no repeal without some substitute. The
matter finally will narrow down TO a
question between coinage on the present
ratio, or the issue of bullion certificates
on the market ratio of silver to gold"
A prominent officer Of the Treasury De-
partment, who has exceptional oppOrtu-
mites for ascertalning what Congressman
think about financial questions, said to-
day that Mr.. Warner and the other silver
ties would probably be astonished at the
strength of the movement to repeal the
Bland act when it came to a vote.

the committees of the next House. He
! will not do so until the House has passed

witten to friends here that they favor the
reelection of Mr. Carlisle as Speaker.
without opposition on the part Of the Re-
publicans. but this course viii probably
not be followed. The Republican men,
bers-elect will probably hold a caucus on
Saturday, at which a nomination will be
made. Mr.. Hiscock is regarded as the
probable nominee OF the Republican eau
Gus, but it is entirely possible that Mr..
Reeds friends may nominate John ID.
Long to defeat Mr.. Hiscock.

SENATE.
Senator Logan went to Chicago tonight
~ dAltnO a Nbtttduo ltUBlUus Ilt ibib Ills
canvass for the presidency pro TEN. in the
hands Of active friends. They are claim
ing everything for him. They provoked
to-day the sarcastic remark that Gen.
Logan would seem to have a statutory
right to the Office under the law giving eX-
soldiers preference over civilians in aD-
pointments to Office. At any rate, Gen.
Logans friends insist that he will be
elected. With one breath they say that
Mr.. Edmunds does not want the place,
and with the next tbev say that If the
Bsyard precedent OF 1881 is insisted upon
Gen. Logan viii kindly allow poor old
Mr.. Edmunds to have the place for few
days on account OF the opposition to his
reelection in Vermont. The Logan men
are rather overriding it.
THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT.
The proposed amendment to the House
rules, dividing the powers Of the ApprO-
priatiOns Committee, will not be discussed
IN a Democratic caucus. II will not be
put forward as Democratic caucus
measure at all. If it was, it would be
treated as party measure by the Repub-
llcans, many Of whom would favor II as an
independent proposition. and II it did not
happen to suit Mr.. Randall he would not
hesitate to unite with the Republicans to
beat it.
