Warmers Proposed silver Compromise.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE even
ing Star has the following: Repre-.
sentative Warner, of Ohio, is in the
city to-day, having come hsre to SEQ
Secretary Manning and Treasurer
Jordan about his proposed
silver compromise bill. Mir.
Warner has been consulting
with all the prominent silver mon hs
could reach, with tho view OF strength
ening his position. The most import
ant persons on both aides OF the ques-
tion are said, however, to stand in their
original position, aud the prospect for
compromise IL not thought 10 bo
good. Mr.. Bland and MIR. Reagan are
quoted as declaring their detsrmins-
,ion TO stand by the Bland dollar, un.
compromisingly, and the auti-silver
men say that President Cleveland
has not altered his views In
the least since writing his famous
aau-silyer letter shortly after elec.
lion. The prospect was to be for a
straight issue on both sides, and tho
outcome depends on whether or not
tho administration has received
enough converts, since last session
10 put them In control OF
the house on that question, which ia
thought to be the most important in
the organization of the house, and in
this respect Speaker Carlisle will bo
placed In an embarrassing position.
Ihere is no ideS he Will meet with any
opposition In his canvass for
.he speakership, and he will
nave TO decide as to the
organic alton of the coinage, weights
ana measures committee, which will
have the silver question before il, Ac-
c9raing to tho general custom, the old
chsirmen, who have served
pointed al the heads ''p Of
their committees. Thus Mr.. Morrow
will expect TO go at the head of the
wsys ana means committe.
Mr.. Randall's friends will
committee, and Mr.. Bland will expect
to DO placed at the head
of the coinage, weights and mesures
committee. He will expect also that
the committee will be organized no.
cordlng TO his idea, go that silver men
VIII be In control. Should his expsc-
tatlon be accomplished, the silver men
would have the reins In their own
hands, and tho administra-
ton would be defeated nt
tho outset. On tho other hand, II
Mr.. CARLISLE refused TO place MIR. Bland
IN his old place, and Hshould organize
the commltloo SO ss 10 take the power
out ofs his hands, u would have
Inc tsnoency TO commit the
house 10 the support OF tho
ADMINISTRATION before any vote
hsd been taken, and to plunge 1t into
9 long and exciting Contest at once.
~, the face OF this circumstance, it is
important to know what Mr. Carlisla's
views on the questions are. The sill
yer men naturally reckon on his being
with Them, as opposed TO the New
YORK bankers, but it Ia uuderHtosd
that no has studied tho question very
carefully, and inclined to think, with
tho president, that there IL danger In
tho unlimited coinage ofsilver dc lars,
This question is giving him more
uuoas'uess than tha ,nrif
or anything else that NAV
come before Congress this winter, end
for months past he has been talking
with mon on both sldss and making
careful study of the situation. Rep
resontative Warner expressed the
opiaion today, that Congress would
pass the compromise silver bill this
session.
