WASHINGTON, D. c.. Sent. 20. '95.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. 20, '95.
Secretary Carlisle did not 90 to the
dedication of the Chickamauga battle
field, although four of his fellow mem
bers of the cabinet did. He still main
tains an oyster-like silence concerning
government finances, and declined
positively to say word when bluntly
asked to say yes or no as to whether
there had been any preparations for
another bond ISSUE The same policy
OF silence prevails among those of his
subordinates who would be likely to
know anything about an issue of bonds,
the iutimation having been made pret.
ty strong to them that talking would
be considered sufficient cause for re.
moval. A Democrat, not connected
with the treasury department, but who
somehow manages-probably through
his intimacy with Logan Carlisle-to
know in advance many of Secretary
Carlisle's intentions, said to persons al
friend: Both Cleveland and Carlisle
believe that another issue of bonds is
inevitable. and all necessary prepara.
tions therefor have been made, but the
bonds will not be issued until they
consider 1t absolutely necessary, and
nothing short Of an actual panic will
cause their issue until after the fall
elections, On account of the bad effect
it would be certain to have in the few
States in which the Democrats have
any prospect of winning. 1t is the de-
sire of Mr.. Cleveland to postpone the
bond issue until after Congress meets,

Congress for not coming to the relief
OF the treasury In some other way in
answer to the appeal he proposes to
make in his annual message"

Ex-senator Sanders, of Montana,
says the only politics in his State is
the free coinage of silver, to which
both parties are committed. But" "
added Mr.. Sanders, there is greater
cohesive force among the Republicans,
and though they would much prefer
the nomination of national ticket
that would be favorable to silver, they
will fall in line and support the nomi-

Secretary Olney is said to be giving
considerable attention to the Waller
case, and to have become ashamed oi
the indifference with which the State
department treated the case at first
One of the things that convinced Mr.
Olney that Waller had a good right tc

Woodford, an American citizen, who
was in Madagascar at the time of the
Waller court martial, and who is con

Woodford is now in London, but he
will sail for the United States in few
days, and will come to Washington tc
examine the record of the court m ar

department by France, in order to SEE

The silver Democrats accuse thu

Missouri, was made to change front or
