mittee appointed by the house Tor the
silver caucus met this morning for
the purpose Of preparing a measure
favorable to silver. The anti-silver
representatives in the house met and
later joined the free silver people in
their room and submitted their
measure to the opposing forces, and
discussion followed. No agreement
was reached and the conference ad-
journed shortly alter II O'Clock for an
hour.
The proposition in regard to the
ratio OF coinage advanced by the free
silver men was opposed by the anti
silver men, and when the conference
took u recess the anti-silver repre-
sentatives met to further discuss the
matter. They were also unable to
reach an agreement respecting the
conduct of the discussion of the bill to
be prepared by the committee OF the
free silver caucus.
The anti-silver men say the advo-
Gates of silver did not make suffi-
GENTLY definite their proposals on
which to act. One element of this
indefiniteness is said to be included
in the suggestion that the beginning of
Of the discussion be postponed until
the rules OF the house are adopted.
1t was argued that it would not re-
quire more than five minutes for the
house to adopt the rules of the sod
congress, and then the debate could
proceed in an orderly manner with
some assurance OF ability to enforce
the terms of agreement that should
be entered into.
The situation at l o'clock was un-
changed. The anti-siIver men had
not reported 20 the silverites any
conclusion upon the proposition
made by the latter, although it is un-
derstood that another meeting of the
conference will be held this afternoon.
When the committee met this morn
ing the anti-silver men, it is said,
proposed that the House proceed at
once to the consideration OF meas
ure for the immediate and uncondi-
tional repeal of the silver purchasing
clause of the Sherman act and that a
vote be taken on that measure only.
As a counter proposition the silver
men offered to introduce q bill to re-
peal, coupled with a provision for
free coinage, the ratio to be fixed by
the house. For this measure the OPP
ponents of silver might offer substi-
tute if they desired, but the silver
men want chance to vote on free
coinage in some way The latter fur
ther agreed that the debate on the
Sherman act should continue for
three weeks, and il at the end of that
time there were remarks undelivered
they might be printed in the record.
This proposition the anti. silver men
withdrew TO consider before giving
an answer.
The reason for the refusal of the
anti-silyer men TO accept the PROPOSE
tion of the silver men is the fact that
the administration desires to have the
Sherman law repealed uncondition-
ally,and the matter OF new legislation
to be discussed and decided upon its
merits, without reference to the re-
lief believed to be contained in the
repeal Of the purchase clause.
Carlisle was visitor to the capitol
this morning and after esta blishing
himself in the library, sent for Coch-
ran. Tracey and Raynor, who left the
conference to attend his summons.
Soon after the house adjourned the
silver and anti-silver advocates held
| separate conferences. The anti-silver
