ing to compromise have been made during
tho day to certain Democratic Senators.
+, No direct confirmation OF this report Is OBJ
tanaple. SO far as President Cleveland's atti-
tude is concerned. but from n creditable source
tbe inform alton is received that Secretary Car
lisle has informally communicated to re or
two of tho pnrty leaders his ideas as to the
croper basis OF compromise in case 1t becomes
nseessary to throw the Wilson-Voorheus bill

Sherman law for three years with reduction

eral Senators that tho Administration would
be willing 10 accept compromise OF this ma
tlre In case 1t should DO dem onstrated that the
unconditional repeal is impossible.
This reported suggestion OF compromise
from the Administration created deep interest
in tho Senate this afternoon. where 1t was
whispered about among few Democratic
Senators and one or two silver Republicans
after the Cabinet meeting. The subject be-
came doub!y important moreover. be-

cal with that said to have been proposed by
Secretary Carlisle. In tho interview. which

created almost sensation among the silver
Senator'S as Mr.. Sherman has been supposed to
bs one OF the most determined advocates Of
repeal In view OF the demand OF tho people
for such action. Some.of the silver mon and
also some OF the repeal Senators discredited
the interview. but to THE Sun reporter Mr..
Sherman said this evening that his remarks rs
quoted were substantially correct.
1t Is regarded as peculiarly significant and
important that the distinguished ex-Secretary
Of the Treasury and the present Secretary
should be agreed as to the most wise and
practical basis Of compromise.
One OF the leaders In the anti-repeal move
ment said to The SUN CORES pondent that the
compromise suggested. while not perhaps OBJ

cepted II proposed unless it was so amended
that the life OF the Sherman law should be OK
