1T BROKE UP ARRANGEMENTS.
Southern Senators Said to Have Become
Indignant Over the Letter.
The Washington correspondent of the
Daily America telegraphed his paper
the other day that he had INSIDE in.
formation" as to the condition of affairs
relating to the financial questions under
discussion, and in demonstration OF the
accuracy of his information he tells the
following story of a scene at the White
House, which occurred one night re-
comfy.
The Senators, principally at the insti-
CATION of Senator German, had promised
to refrain from flibustering. Even
Senator Teller had voluntarily said that
he would not flibuster, after full dis.
cussion OF the subject had taken place.
The situation was really deligh tful for
the friends of repeal, when it was found
that Senator Stewart and about ten
other Republican Senators were deter
mined TO flibuster any way.
The Southern Democrats then set
about to seek some little concession

vote unless this was given. AS they
were about ready to formulate the con
cession that they would present to the
President, Mr.. Clevelands letter to
Governor Northen made it's appearance
in the put lie prints and this completely
changed the situation. The Southern
men became highly indignant. Senator
Cockrell began preparation for speech;
Senator Daniel began to prepare second
one and Senator Pugh also started one,
and is now at work upon it. Senator
Morgan made uphis m ind that he would
speak.
ALL DECIDED TO FGLIBUSTER.
The intention to flibuster on the
Democratic side became as pronounced
as on the Republican side among the
silver men. Then it was that the
chances became so doubtful that COM
promise talk began. Senator German
has always held that it would not be
safe to enact any silver legislation until
the gold reserve in the Treasury could
be strengthened
Whatever concession was to be made
to the silver men it was not to 60 any
further than the Faulkner amendment,
which provides for the coinage of the
silver bullion and the purchase of other
silver so as to maintain silver circula-
ton not exceeding $500, 900 OOC.
This was the precise condition of
affairs on that night. The President
understood it, and he summoned Secre-
tarieS Carlisle and Lamont to the White
House in order to talk over with them
the situation in the Senate. AS soon as
| Colonel Lamont entered the President
asked if he had not talked to Senator
| German. 1t 80 happened that they had
met that night just previous to Secre-
tary Lamont making his call at the
White House, and he 80 stated to the
President. The various propositions
for compromise having been discussed,
Secretary Lamont told the President
that Senator German believed if any
action was taken outside of uncondi-
tional repeal that the gold reserve
should be strengthened and maintained.
| CLEVELAND coMpLIMENTED GoRMAN.
Senator German has always held that
| it was too great responsibility for any
one to undertake to legislate on the sill
yer question without having gold in the
Treasury to enable tho Government to
keep the metals to parity. The Presi-
dent rather agreed with his view OF the
! question, and spoke in rather compli-
mentary way OF Senator Germans opin-
ion on this subject.
Carlisle with much feeling attacked
the idea of any legislation that would
look toward the sale of bonds. He said
it was Wall street scheme, and attacke
IL even more so than he did in his now
celebrated interview with the New
York bankers. He showed great deal
of feeling toward Senator German in
the matter, and said that he would fight
any such proposition. The President
did not say much after this, and the
matter was dropped.
AS matter OF fact Senator German
does not care anything about compro-
mise. He has made no proposition to-
ward any compromise, and. while it is
but natural, when every one of his col
leagues are discussing such PROPOSE
ton, he would give the subject thought
as possible contingent.
