NEW sEIGNIORAGE BILL.
It's Author Says Carlisle Approves Ii
md the President MnN.

WASHINGTON, April 1S-Mr Blands
coinage committee met to-day for the first
time since the silver seignorage struggle
and was treated to a genuine surprise. Rep
preventative Meyer, of Louisiana, was pres
ent TO urge his bill for coming the seignior-
age and for low interest bonds, and in
doing so he stated authoritatively that the
measure had the approval and was in
part suggested by Secretarv Carlisle, and,
In the judgment of the Secretary. would be
signed by the President. To this extent
the bill was regarded as an administration
one and as satisfactorily overcoming the
objections of Mr.. Cleveland's veto OF the
Bland bill. The bill, Mr.. Meyer explained
provided for coming the seigniorage and
so amended the resumption act that per
cent. bonds would in future be issued in lieu
OF the Az and per cent. bonds.
After discussing the measure. Mr.. Harter
asked: us it to be understood that this
bill IS satisfactory 10 the Secretary Of the
treasury and, IN his Judgment VIII be APP
proved by the PRESIDENT
that the bill was submitted TO the Secretary
and 1t meets his approval. and, in his

Mr.. Dingley expressed some surprise
this, as he said the objections OF the Pres
idents veto would not be met by the lew
Mr.. Meyer added: II did not wish to re-
vive the silver question if 1t was likely to
result in a fruitless discussion ana an
other veto The bill was. therefore, sub
mitted to Secretary Carlisle, with the sug-
gestion that l did not wish to introduce IL
unless here some assurance of it's ap-
proval. Mr.. Carlisle considered il several
days and suggested several changes. From
these the present bill was framed. which.
in the opinion of Mr.. Carlisle, broad
enough 10 meet all contingencies. | can,
therefore state authoTitatively that IL
meets the approval of the Secretary of the
Treasury, and in his judgment will be ap-
proved by the President"
The measure was discussed by the COM
mittee, but no conclusion was reached upon
IL Secretary Carlisle was shown the above
statements. but he declined 10 discuss the
merits of the Meyer bill. 1t is learned,
however, that the bill, originally pre-
pared was presented To Mr.. Carlisle who,
at Mr.. Meyers request, dictated n revision
OF IL, the presumption being that re-
vised IL met with his approval. 1t is not
believed. however, that the matter has been
brought 10 the attention OF the President,
and whether he would approve 1t if pre-
sented TO him is problematical. The argu-
rnent is made that the Presidents utter
ances in his message vetolng the Bland
seigniorage bill warrant the belief that
the Meyer bill would meet with his ap-
prOyal.
