STILL mo- COMPROMISE.
Mr.. Carlisle Yet Stands for Un-
conditional Repeal,
NEW PROPOSITIONS PRESENTED

IL Is believed the Administration May
Concede Repeal TO Take Place at
Future Time, but Opinions Difor AS to
the Period.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2O.-Senators Cor
man, Ransom, White, Cockrell, Villas,
Gray, Walthall and Blackburn, the com
mittee appointed to wait on Secretary
Carlisle and TO submit to him several
propositions looking TO a compromise, re
manned in executive session" with him
at the treasury from 3 o'clock until 430.
Mr.. Carlisle was seen after his senatorial
visitors had departed and stated that he
had nothing whatever to communicate as
TO the nature of their call or its result.
The visiting senatorial ambassadors re-
turned TO the Capitol in struggling order,
some Of them first calling at the White
House.
Senators Camden, Harris and Jones
(Arl) subsequently held a long cousulta-
tion with Mr. Cocl1rell So far as could
! be ascertained nothing definite had been
accomplished Mr. Carlisle, it is said, was
unyielding in the original stand taken by
| him in favor Of unconditional repeal. No
compromise was agreed upon, but it was
| intimabed that another conference would
| be held The belief exists in the minds of
| the caucus committee that the adminstra-
| tion viii concede a repeal TO take effect at
a future date, and that was one of the CON
| tentions discussed for some time. The re-
| peal men want the time fixed for January
or, at the latest July !, 1895, while the
more conservative silver men want it to
| extend to Jan. /, 1896, as fixed in Mr.
| Quay's proposed amendment. The eX-
| tremists insist that repeal shall not take
| effect until after the close Of this admins
! tration, the amount of silver purchases be-
! ing reduced in the meantime to 100000
worth each month.
! A representative southern silver senator
| said after the committee returned that if
| they could get nothing better they would
accept July 1, 1885, but pointed out that
! this was bad politics. The statement had
| been made, he said, that the administration
would favor silver Legislation after this
bill had been repealed and Democratic re-
pealers had expressed their intention to
assist in enacting such legislation With
| the acceptance of a compromise the agita-
| tion would not end. He thought within
| five days after the passage of this bill two
| score of financial measures would be in
| troduced, and oefore spring congress would
| be in the midst of a discussion on the sub
| iect that would be continued until the
next elections, all the time increasing the
| trouble attending its settlements, and
| bringing about condition hazardous to
the Democratic party. This was why, he
said, the southern men wanted the ques-
ton postponed by later day in the re-
| pealing bill so there would be no occasion
to agitate the subject until after the elec-
tions, the people in the meantime having
voiced their sentiments at the polls.
The silver Republicans, speaking through
one of their leaders, said they would in all
probability accept the compromise to the
| extent of permitting it to come to a vote,
even if they could not support it. The re-
peal Republicans adhered to their former
position Of being ready to vote for uncon-
ditional repeal, and declined to state their
views upon any compromise so long as il
was an intangible thing. If the Demo
Gratis came together and agreed among
themselves, said one of the eastern Repub-
licans, a senator known for his political
astuteness, they could pass the bill with
out the assistance of the Republicans.
