WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-Carlisle has con-
suited again with President Cleveland on
compromise terms, but with no satls-
factory result, says morning paper. IL
is understood the reply he has authorized
Carlisle to give the. advocates of compro-
mise is that he will listen to no compro-
mise involving the further purchase OF
silver until supreme effort has been
made by the friends of unconditional re-
peal to avail themselves of their conceded
strength as majority of the Senate to
force vote. If the effort fails then he
may listen to compromise terms as the
less of two evils. The silver Senators
assert they are certain of support at the
critical moment.
The Senators who have been most act
i've trying to effect compromise on the
repeal bill, do not express themselves as
discouraged by the outlook this morning
They say nothing is likely to transpire in
that direction during the present week,
but express the opinion that the begin
ming of next week will see change in
the situation, by which time the Senate
viii be more thoroughly impressed with
the futility of the effort to pass the pend
further delay will have the general effect
OF convincing the Senators OF the impos-
sibiIity Of any mans getting just what he
may want.
Extreme men on both sides are still
holding out stitfly, however, and If there
is any improvement of the situation 1t
does not appear on the surface.
MExICAN's IDEA.
Ell PAso (Tex.), Oct. 2.-Don Luis Ter
raszas. Ex-Governor of the State of Chi
huahua, Mex, declares the silver COM
promise as proposed by the manufact-
urers of Pennsylvania very narrow and a
poor proposition. He strongly favors the
Tree and unlimited coinage of silver as OF
the greatest Importance to this nation.
he says: "Were silver worth 81 20 per
ounce or coined at the rate of 154 to /.
Mexico, Central and South America, and
in TACT every silver-producing country III
the world, would become at once con-
sumer of your product, and we in turn
would sell you our raw material. 1t
would be impossible to get an ounce Of
foreign silver into this country except in
exchange for products. which we now
purchase in England, and the immense
trade the Western Continent now does
with Europe would be transacted at
home. thereby forcing Europe into bi-
metallism." ~-s4-e
RAY OF LIGHT.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-Some of the sill
yer advocates, who have been studying
the repeal bill proposed in the Senate by
VOORHEES, and in the House by Wilson,
have reached the conclusion from silver
standpoint that the passage of either of
these bills, instead of proving an un-
mixed evil, may be a real benefit They
claim the enactment of either of these
bills into a law will have the effect of re-
storing the free coinage of silver. Their
reasoning is to the following effect:
Both the Voorhees, and Wilson bills re-
peal only so much of the Sherman Act
as directs the Secretary OF the Treasury
TO purchase from time to time silver
bullion to the aggregate amount of 5000
ounces of silver, or so much thereof as
may be offered, each month. but leaves
untouched the fifth section of the Sher-
man Act, which repeals the purchasing
clause Of the Bland-Allison Act. This,
they argue, leaves the Bland-Allison Act
in full effect, except where it requires the
ounces of silver month. The part of this
Act which is unrepealed provides for the
free coinage of silver dollars in accord
ance with the provisions OF the Act of
January, 1887. This Act established that
the Government Mint should provide for
the coinage of both gold and silver in
sums greater than 500 at the request of
the depositor.
The silver Senators do not show any
great disposition to discuss the probabili-
ties. They admit the matter has been
canvassed among them, but say while the
reasoning is clear and the law of 1897
would unquestionably be left in force by
the passage OF either the Senate or House
bill, the enforcement of it would depend
upon the Administration, and with the
Administration unfriendly, as it now is,
they could not hope for favorable inter-
probation of the law.
