WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-Secretary Car
Isle il to be invited before the house
committee on banking and currency
next Monday morning to present his
views concerning the financial plan
briefly summarized in his annual re-
port, and endorsed In the Presidents
message.
1t is said, however, he is not as yet
seeking TO urge his plan. A meeting OF
the bankers aud currency committee
has been called for tomorrow to begin
consideration OF the Carlisle plan. It lie
expected that after the hearing OF the
secretary Monday, bill will be drawn
in accordance with his views. 1t is
thought probable that Mr.. Carlisle will
himself draw the bill on the lines OF MS
report.
Many of the house leaders declare
that the financial measure is likely to
pass the house, Notwithstanding the
brieiness OF the session. Mr.. Springer,
chairman OF the committee. takes this
view. lie says the subject has been
thoroughly discussed in committee, so
that there should be no delay. He
hardly hopes that the measure will pass
the senate and become law, but he
sees no reason why the house cannot
act.
To.day's Democratic caucus directed
the "steering committee" to prepare an
order OF business which would present
for the consideration OF the senate the
following subjects OF legislation:
A bankruptcy bill; bill for tho con-
struction OF the Nicaragua canal; acur-
rency bill.
Bills for the admission OF Arizona and
New Mexico. -,
A bill involving the interests Of the
Indian Territory.
For the consideration OF the joint res
olution Of the house Of representatives
on the election OF United States sena-
tors by the people, and such other
measures, including the appropriation
bills as the .'steering committee" thinks
may be important.
That in their report to caucus the
steering committee" shall provide the
order in which the above subjects ot
legislation shall be considered.
The caucus was in session from 2
o'clock until 1880 p. M, and almost the
entire time was devoted to the discus
sion Of the first proposition OF Senator
Daniels instructing the committee on
rules to bring in an amendment ior
cloture aud the speeches were at the
time very spirited.
Senators Vest, Villas, Berry and George
made speeches favoring the proposition,
while Senators German, Morgan. Pal
mer, Harris and Pugh and othsrs OPP
posed it with much warmth.
The speeches were in the same vein
as those which have been made in the
senate, except that the speakers dis
cussed party questions with more tree'
dom. pointiug out the TACT on the one
stde that the Democrats would soon be
in the minority in the senate and prob
ably in need Of protection. which the
present rules would afford, while on the
other side the advocates OF cloture urged
the importance OF the supplementary
tariff bills and admitted very frankly
that there was no possibility OF such
action without rule for the Limitation
OF debate. The opponents OF change
evidently had the best OF the argument
from the beginning.
The order for the preparation OF
currency bill by the finance committee
carries with it instructions to take rec
concentrations Of the President and Sec
retary OF the treasury into considera-
ton. Tho order is also broad enough
10 ;ncludo any other suggestions ot
financial character which may be pre-
sented. .,.,..
No meeting Of the steering committee
has vet been called, and there has con-
seoucntly becn no agreement as to tho
order in which the bills agreed upon
shnll be taken tlp..
