CONPROMISE BlLL.

Congressman Cox's Idea is to Repeal
 tho Bland Law of Thirteen Years
 Ago
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-Mr. Cox of Tennessee, member of the banking and currency committee, and an advocate of free coinage, has prepared bill as con- promise for the defeated proposition to re- peal the Sherman silver law. The bill re- peals the Sherman law, re-enaots the Bland law of 1878 with the proviso that the legal tender character of the notes shall not be impaired. The secretary of the treasury Is directed to have coined the bullion pur- chased under the Sherman law into stand ard silver dollars and cover them into the revenues of the treasury, but the silver dollars provided for under the Bland act, which is re enacted, are to have priority in coinage, so far ss practicable. The treasury notes issued in payment for bullion are to continue re- deemable, as now provided for by law, snd when redeemed are to bs destroyed. The tax of 10 per cent. on the circulation of state banks is repealed.
 MT. Cox thinks this bill will meet with the approval of all conservative silver men in the house. Propositions such as the repeal of the Sherman law and the coin age of the bullion purchased under 1t, he thinks, can never become law; this bill, he thinks, can be passed.

 LONDON, Feb. 17.-In the house of commons to-day MT. Joseph Chamberlain resumed the debate on the home rule bill, the house being full, but not crowded.

 He hesitated to think of what the coun- try's position would in time of war. Sup posing, MT.

THEY WERE ENTHUSIASTIC,

THEY WE'RE ENTHUSIASTIC. l The Kansas Republicans Adopted an Agreement Which Was Signed by the Governor, Amid Great Enthusi. asm-The Governor Claims that the Populists Have Carried Their Point Feeling of Relief Among the Citf- zens-Troops Ordered to Their Homes.
 TOPEKA, Kan, Feb. 1.-The republican house to-day adopted, amid the widest enthusiasm. the following agreement, which was signed by the governor: "It being the understanding that the house presided over by MT. DInsmore has secured a hall in which to meet, the house
 presided over by MT. Douglass shall remain in possession of representative hall undis- turbed. The body presided over by MT. Dinsmore shall in like manner be undisturbed and unmolested in the possession of the hall which it has secured and If So desired it may select 8 room in the state room for its meetings other than representative hall. No arrests are to be made by either house of members or officers of the other. The militia is to be relieved including, the new recruits sworn in, and the sheriff's posse is to be entirely disbanded. Militia companies now en route for Topeka are to be immediately telegraphed to by the governor to return to their homes"
 A note was added, signed by the gover- nor and the committeeman, stating that the above Is not be construed as recognition by either house of the legal organization of the other or by the governor or senate as a recognition of either of such houses, and shall not be used in court or any legislative body as evidence for any person, party or body.
 Immediately after the agreement had been adopted dispatches were sent out by the adjutant general ordering all troops now en route to the capitol to return to their homes. The populists also loaded down the wires with messages to their SUD- porters stating that all occasion for their presence here had passed. Some hot headed populists from out of town are in clined to be ugly over the turn affairs have taken, oontending that the governor should have held his own until the republicans were either starved out or driven out. Among the citizens there is @ feeling of profouL1 relief. The exodus commenced at once and by morning the place will have assumed its usual aspect.
 The governor claims the populists have carried their point, which was the pre- vention of the arrest by the republican house of Chief Clerk Rich, who started the trouble last Tuesday.
