WASHINGTON, Oct Q. Secretary
Carlisle made visit to tine senate
wing of the capitol Saturday after
noon, Coming at this juncture, when
avery one OF the senators was expect
ing the unusual to happen the visit
created Il sensation, He had just
come from close conference with the
president, and it was naturally sup
posed that he had some important
message for individual senators or for
the body at large. If such was the
ease he did not take the pains to fur
nish the public with the same iufor-
nation. He spent about two hours in
conference with various Democratic
senators in the marble room and tho
room of The finance committee. but
did not enter the chamber Among
others with whom he couversod We're
Mr.. Voorhees, and Mir Harris. Tho
report was soon set in circulation that
he had been sent as the president 5
personal Official representative to ar
range the terms of an agreement with
the opposing forces of the Democratic
ranks in the senate. Inquiry, how
ever, developed the fact that the visit
was just the opposite, hence 10 COM
promise.

WAsHINGToN, Oct. 5.-In the senate
yesterday the first open suggestion of
a compromise ON the repeal bill was
made and attracted the closet atten-
ton on both sides of the chamber.
Senator Butler of South Carolina, in
an imprisoned speech against the
passage OF the bill, made a compro-
mise the salient feature. In reply to
a question which he said had been
asked over and over again as to when
a vote would be had on the bill, Sem
ator Butler said compromise, compro-
mise, is the solution to the struggle
here. When the senate met yester-
day there were six Republicans and
one Democrat present. After some

The monkeys of Gibraltar rock are
said to enjoy the rare distinction Of
being the only monkeys in Europe not
kept in captivity. 1t is agreed that
they found footing in Europe long,
long before Spain as Spain was ever
heard Of Before the sea wore away
the land and made what is called the
strait of Gibraltar Europe and Africa,
were joined together and animals
roamed from one spot to another as
they pleased, When the time came,
however, that the strip OF land was at
last swallowed up by the greedy
ocean, the, strong current prevented
creatures that were not at home in
the water from crossing to and fro as
they were wont to do, Among the
unfortunates whose wanderings were
thus unexpectedly cut short were
many African monkeys, and the rock
monkeys of the present, whose num-
bers, it may be added, are growing
less and less, are undoubtedly de-
scendants of those prehistoric fellows.
OF course it follows that the Rarbary
apes--the monkeys living ON the AZ
rican side of the strait-are the first
cousins of the occupants of "Gib.

FURTHER DEPRESSION OF SILVER.
Secretary Carlisle today received num-
erous callers, among whom were many
members of congress. With all these
the silver question formed the principal
topic of conversation, and the continued
decline of the price OF silver was natur-
ally adverted to. The secretary had re-
ceived cablegram stating the price Of
silver today in London was 68%
cents per ounce, at which rate
a silver dollar as bullion ia worth 53
cents. 1t is nevertheless apparent that
the purchasing power of silver dollar,
with silver bullion at 6S1s cents per
ounce, is as great today as when silver
was worth $l.22 per ounce and the bull
lion value of dollar SO cents. 1t should
be equally obvious that this is 30 be-
cause it is known that the credit OF the
United States is behind its silver money,
as it is behind all it's other forms OF
money, and without which none Of
them, except gold coin and gold certi6-
Gates, would be worth par in the money
markets of the world. This fact was
several times emphasized at the last
session of congress, when ex-Secretary
Sherman and others repeatedly de-
clared during the senate debates, that
there was in the treasury bullion gold
to the value of every silver certificate
issued by the government.
SECRETARY HERBERT's OPINIONS.
Secretary OF the Navy Herbert, who
10 thoroughly familiar with the Populist
movement in the south, said today he
thought the Populists were not now
making any progress in the country, and
that the teachings of those engaged in
agitation would not have any influence
in shaping the policy of the Democratic
party.
Speaking OF silver, the secretary said:
''I think the stoppsge OF the free COIN
age of silver in India the greatest blow
given the Sherman law and free coinage
of silver. Free coinage of silver in
India has been pointed to as an object
Lesson by the advocates of free coinage
in this country. Now that the coinage of
silver is thus voluntarily stopped. with
the consent of India, it tumbles both
arguments that silver currency was

exchange was on a system for the bene-
fit of England

Good News for Women Who Ministered
to Siok Soldiers.
WASHINGTON, June 29.-Assistant Sec
retary Reynolds of the interior depart
ment has made a pension decision
which will be welcome news to large
number of women who ministered to
wounded soldiers during the late war.
They, are to be placed on the pension
rolls. The question arose upon COM
munication from the commissioner OF
pensions as to whether those women
who superintended the diet of sick and
wounded soldiers were entitled to PEN
sions under the provisions of the nurses
act. Assistant Secretary Reynolds holds
that these persons are entitled to PEN
eions.
