The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1893-10-12

was soon set in circulation that he had
been sent as the presidents personal
official representative to arrange
terms Of agreement with the opposing
forces in the Democratic ranks in the
-seuate. Inquiry, however, developed
tn Q TACT that the visit was just the op-
posite. Vance told a repres ntative
of the Associated Press that Carlisle
had gone to the Capitol for the purpose
of preventing a compromise, and
Voorhees, virtually confirmed the
statement. 1t would seem, therefore,
that il there is to be compromise it
cannot come until after the night ses.
sion test is tried.
1t is but fair to say that there are
very few repeal senators as sanguine
of the success of the night sessions, or
of the success of the bill in its present
shape as Is Voorhees,. A large major
ity of the senators assert that the bill
cannot be passed except in a modified
form and others agree with Mander-
con in the assertion that il no c0mpro-
mise ID reached recess of the senate
until December will be necessary,
which would virtually mean the
abandonment of the bill.
TREASURY RESERVE.
There is still further reduction in
net gold reserve in the treasury
today, the figures being 1886, ,15a 256,
about half a million lower than June
last, when it touched the lowest point
in history to that time. The currency
| balance, however, showed an increase
today, being $l6,2al ,447.
REPRESENTATIVE BRYAN.
Representative Bryan returned to
day, and asked regarding the report
that he intended to become Populist,
ne said, "Whenever I am satisfied
that the Democratic party is In favor
of single gold standard, will leave
my country under another name."

The proclamation of Admiral De
Mello, leader of the Brazilian revolu-
tion, has reached here. 1t bears date
Sept. 6. The admiral reviews al
length the cause which led up the
revolution, and says the president
