AN EARNEST TALK.
Cleveland COnsults With
Carlisle.
KENTUCKY IN THE CABINET.
The Senator Said to Have Been Of
fered a Place Which He Has
Not Yet Accepted.
Special to THE MORNING CALL

NEW YORK. Dec. 31.-Senator John G.
Carlisle. after an extended conference with
Mr. Cleveland at the latter's residence to-
day. returned to Washington. 1t is said
that among tae topics given prominence In
the discussion was Mr.. Carlisle's disposi-
ton as to place in Mr.. Cleveland's Cabi-
net. which. it is semi officially declared, has
been rendered him. After he left to-day
it was said that he had given Mr.. Cleveland
no definite answer on the question. The
Democratic tariff policy was another topic
of conversation, it is asserted.
Among all classes OF politicians here
Cleyeland's open opposition to Murphy's
Senatorial aspirations continues to be the
main topic of discussion.
The Posts Albany special says: Murphy
Is no longer serenely contemplating the SEN
atorial outlook. His election as Hiscock's
successor is now conceded by his closest
advisers to be hedged about with increasing
difficulties. Hugh McLaughlin's attitude as
indicated at the caucus of the Kings County
legislative delegation last night adds new
elements of uncertainty TO the situation.
The mention of Cochran's name has caused
further apprehension in the councils of the
Flower-Hill cabal, as serving to disclose
the inherent weakness of the attempt to
foist the Troy brewer into Office in open an
tagonism to the wishes of the party. A
careful estimate of the votes pledged to
Murphy for Senator indicates less than
sixty and probably they will not far ex-
ceed fifty. Hiscock Will receive the full
Republican vote of sfxty-nine. There are
between thirty and forty Democratic votes
the machine has not yet been able to appro-
priate.

BERLIN, Dec. 31.-The official pressman

nothing to the opponents of the measure,
and il the Reichstag refused to grant the
funds necessary TO augment the army to an
effective footing, the Government would re-
sort TO the rigorous practice of three years
service, the agitation throughout the
country has been aggravated. The excite
ment caused by the Chancellor's threat is
seen in the unwonted number CT public
meetings and political reunions held every
where in the country.
Underneath the mutual defances there is
a strong though unseen desire to effect
compromise. Neither the Centrsts nor the

-; SYSTEM OF FEDERATION.
Provisional Plan of Union Agreed Upon
by the Trainmen.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa. Dec. 31.-A system
of federation was agreed upon to-day by the
conference of organized railroad employees.
The term means that the members OF the
various orders on any one system will be
left to decide for themselves whether or not
they will unite. and such union will he
binding upon them alone. The conserva-
tive members of the conference feel they have:
gained point, and whenever the new plan
Is adopted it will serve as a check against
ill-advised strikes or hasty action of any
Sort The orders interested are the con-
ductors, switchmen. fremen, trainmen and
teegraphers. As the engineers voted at
the last convention for federation. with the
same fundamental principles. it is thought
that they may eventually cume in. Some
members of the conference were not au-
thorzed TO act for their respective orders,
and the details of the plan will not be made
public until they have secured ratification.
The members of the conference were given
a banquet by the grand officers of the con-
ductors tonight, aud left for their homes

Effect of the French Crisis Upon
Speculative Values.
Slowly a Realization Came to the
Small Holders That the Repub-

Special to THE MORNING CALL

PARIS, Dec. 31.-The financial public has
expressed its opinion Of the present situa-
tiOn by steadily selling and. TO some ex-
tent, sacrificing its securities. French three
year rentes closed last Saturday at 97.9
and opened on Monday a. 98 and closed
yesterday at 95.75. Other French securities
have shared. though generally to q less
extent. in this decline, while foreign securi-
ties remain for the most part unaffected
1t is in these circumstances that the In
vesting public has lost.
The spectators have both lost and won.
Rumors are the basis OF innumerable opera
tions in every stock exchange in the world,
and Of more in France than anywhere else.
In no country is there more timidity or
credulity among investors. and in none do
slight events create a greater panic. The
events of the three weeks just past have
not, it is true, been slight. and the fall in
French rentes does not yet amount to
panic, but there has been, and still is,
great uncertainty about the immediate poll
tical future and the apprehension of what
might happen has. as usual, discounted the
future.
The most that the Ministry could do at
the moment TO calm the public mind was to

there should be an adjournment over New

tranquility that the ne 9viest fall = -e,l.N

public itself was challenged made its way

traders and manufacturers of the provinces,

Mayor Fletcher instructed the City Physi-

Canada much more vital than the recent
order imposing tolls on Canadian vessels

The blow will come In the shape of a

terms. Culom has often expressed the
opinion that the Canadian roads are con-
stantly evadng the interstate commerce law
