Mr.. Carlisle wa, seen after his sena-

and ambassadors returned to the capi-
tol in struggling order. some OF them
first calling at the White Ilonse. SEN
ators Camden, Harris and Jones. OF
Arkansas. subsequently, held long
consultation with Mr.. Cockrell.
So far as could be ascertained nothing
definite had been accomplished. Mr..
Carlisle. /, IS said, was unyielding
in the original stand taken by him in
favor of unconditional repeal Nocom-
promise wa, agreed upon last night,
but il was minated that another con-
ference wouln he held this morning.
The belief exi SIS in the minds OF the
caucus committee that the administra-
ton will conccde n repeal, to take ef-
feet at futuf-. date. and that was one
of the content ons discussed for some
time.
The repeal men want the time fixed
for January. or at the latest July l.,
1875. while the more conservative sill
yer men want ii to extend To January
1, 1896 as fixed in Mr.. Quay's proposed
amendment.
The extremists insist that repeal
shall not take effect until after the
close of this administrations the amount
of silver purchases being reduced in
the meantime to 81 900, 900 worth each
month.
representative southern silver sena-
tor said last evening. after the COM
mittee returned that il they could get
nothing better they would accept July
/, 1896. but PORTED out that this was
bad politics Tie statement had been
made. he said. II at the administration
would favor sill ,cr legislation if this
bill had been repealed and democratic
repealers had expressed their in
tention To assist in enacting such
legislation. with the acceptance
of compromise the agitation
would not end. He thought that
within FIVE days after the passage OF
this bill two score of financial meas
ures would be introduces. and before
spring congress would be i'm the midst
of a discussion of the subject that
would be continued till the next cleo
tons, all the time increasing the trou
BILE attending its settlement
and bringing about condition
hazardous to the democratic
party. This was why, he said. the
southern men wanted the question
postponed to later date in the repeal
ing bill, so there would be no occasion
to agitate the subject until after thu
elections, the people in the meatim
having voiced their sentiments at tn
polls The southern silver men. tn
senator said. would fight, accepting tn
compromise as temporary lull in tn
storm, expecting democratic senator's Z
put themselves on record to carry GU
their sentiments when the prope
time came.
The silver republicans speaking
through one of their leaders said the
would in all probability accept tn
compromise to the extent of permit
ting it to come to "A vote, even il the
could not support it.
The repeal republicans adhered I
their former position of being ready I
vote for unconditional repeal, and do
clined to state their views upon an
compromise so long as it was an intar
gible thing IF the democrats cam
together and agreed among then
: selves" said one of the eastern repul
leans, a senator known for his polit
cal astuteness. "they could pass tn
bill without the assistance of the r.
: publicans."
