The tenor of Washington dispatches suggests the probability of an early agreement in the Senate on the silver question. The inauguration of con tinuous session will it is thought, force a compromise. Silver Senators claim Senators classed with the repeal forces are dssirous of securing com promise, and if some measure can be devised upon which shsy can agree, the vote will be reversed. A Chicago Record special asserts that the terms ot a compromise agreed upon are: Con- tinued purchase of 4,5O0, 900 ounces of silver each month until, with the amount now uncoined in the Treasury, the amount shall reach $500, 900, 900, and provision giving the Secretary of the Treasury authority to issue S2O0, 900, 900 worth of three percent gold bonds, if necessary, to maintain the gold reserve. The dispatch makes no mention of coinage, but presume the friends of silver have not over, looked that important point ff ar agreement.

Ire convention of the Pan-American Bimetallic League at St. Louis, adopt ed resolutions declaring tifas the cause of the prevailing business depression is lack of sufficient actual money to meet the requirements of trade; that ,he gold and silver produced in the Slipts of fhe United States are neces- saty for the requirements of tho oodh- tty for coin, sbtrefofe 1t is essential that Congress take such action relative to the coinage of the two metals as will restore silver to the position it held in n1S73.
 A closer alliance between the inhsb- itants of the West and South is im- perisively demanded for tic purpose of mutual protection and advancement
 The free and unlimited coinage of silver at established ratio of rG to 1 is demanded. and the convention declare themselves unalterably opposed to the sepeal of the Sherman law, except by tAe passage of q law providing for the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the above ratio. The adoption of the gold standard bY siss United States, in view of the inadeqehte supply of that metal ih the world, would result in universal bankruptcy and ruin, and would be a fragrant violation of the constitution of the United States.
 The resolutions oppose the further issue of government bonds, and urge the improvement of the great water ways of the country.
 Representatives in Congress are asked to instruct the Chief Executive to issue q call for an early convention of all nations interested in and fayora- bis bo the frsO coinage of silver at the ratio of Is so,1,, for the purpose of es- tablishing close oomnerciel and fnan- cial relations with them.

FERDINAND WARDS DEFENSE.

Ferdinand Ward, partner of GenetGl Grant and lfis soiis U, $. Grant, Jr. and F. D. Grant, iH tho banking firm of Grant & Ward, for whose disastrous failure Ward Wac made the scapegoat and was tried and sentenced, together with J. D. Fish, president of the Murine bank, to term in Sing Sing has at last, after all these yearB of silence, made public Q partial statement of the causes leading to the failure and denying certain accusations made against him in connection herewith. While making no direct charges against his partners, he alleges that the entire capital furnished by the Grants was S50,000 which Gen. Grant borrowed from Commodore Garrison. A schedule which was published in 1884 and IS re- produced by ward, shows that the Grants, instead of being defrauded or deceived by Ward, drew out of the business enormous sums of money, as fellows. '. S. Grant, S24ti i07S.57 U. 5. Grant, Jr., $l95, ,044; F. D. Grant, Sl33, ,501. .1s-a total of S569, 624 05 paid to the Grants.
 Gen. Grant, he says, was drawn into all sorts of schemes by supposed friends who wanted his name to float their en- terprises on the promise of enormous dividends without risk or the expendi- lure of any considerable sums of moR- ey. These schemes almost invariably turned ont disastrously, and the firm was called upon to foot the bills. While it Is possible for those most deeply involved in any questiona- ble transaction to cry Stop thiefe' and point to the one member of a company which tlse public selects as the most guilty party as 'the hardened orimi- nal" and be loudest in the demand for his punishment, it i'll becomes people so deep in transaction as to be com Pletely submerged ih the whirlpool made by the sinking ship to use the first breath gained after coming to the surface in loud cries for the arrest and punishment of one of their fellows, witb whom they were associated in every detail of the business that was to make them all rich men.
 In order to make full statement and reproduce many of tho hundreds of letters, checks, vouchers and re- ceipts in his possession, Ward says, il will be necessary to issue book oi from 300 to 800 pages. This book is now being compiled and will be pub lished as soon as the work of prepara- ton can be done.

OBSTACLES TO THE ExrRADrrfoN 0t tR&Nk osRy's SUPPOSED mURBEwER.

It it by ib means certain that Mich clas Acebed6; she accused murderer of Frank oury, Nill ever be brought back to Arizona for trial. Mention of his arrest at Sarica after having made con fessiou of his part in the murder, his ttausfer to Altar and the requisition by the Territorial authorities upon Cover nor Ysabel of Sonora, has already been made in the columns of The RepObli- can. On the recent visit of Acting Governor Bruce to Tucson ho telS- graphed to the Governor of Sonora concerning the nidttet and the sanie night received Q reply that the tiatter would have to be acted upon through the government at sho City of Mexico.
 The treaty of 1861 between Mexico and the United States provides for the exercise of acquisition between the Territory and the State of Sonora on account of the remoteness of both from seats of goYerrment of theft respective countries. Instructions however have recently been received by the Governor of Sonora that in all cases involving the liberty of Mexican citizens, action shall be taken only after reference to the Secretary of the Interior of the govern ment of Mexico. The departure from the terms of the treaty introduces g complication into the present affair SC that the Territorial authorities are at a loss as to method of procedure. The government at Washington would prob ably decline to act in the matter foI obvious reasons. The only plan now left open is to make requisition upon the Secretary of the Interior of Mexico, directed to the Governor of Sonoraand by him to be referred to the Secretary who may in turn direct the Governor how to proceed. The complication hat created considerable excitement in the southern part of the Territory since by 1t sense of security enjoyed under the treaty of 1861 has been lost. -Repub' lican.
