CARLISLE IN THE RACE
' Candidate For President on
 Sound Money Basis.
BACKED BY THE ADMINISTRATION

His Name Will Be Placed Before the
 People Just as Soon as Cleveland De-
 elares He Will Not Accept Third
 Term Nomination-secretary olney Does
 Not Want It.
 WASHINGTON, March 18.-Secretary Carlisle Is candidate for the presi. dentlal nomination at Chicago and 8 public announcement to that effect will soon be made by ono of the secretary's close friends in the senate. This an- nouncement, however. will not be made until President Cleveland has formally stated his purpose not to permit his name to be used in connection with third term. It Is learned on excellent authority that the president has fully decided upon this course, and it is ex- peosed that he will make known his de- termination within short time.
 Although Secretary Olney's name has been considered with favor by Demo- cratic leaders, it is known that he does not desire tho nomination. It is un- doubtedly true that MT. Carlisle's can didaoy will have the support of Mir. Cleveland and the members of his cab met. He will go before the convention as the representative of the "sound money" views of the administration. His friends, in conducting the canvass for Mr. Carlisle's nomination, will urge that it be made upon a sound money platform. and if he is successful at Chi dago will then make this issue prom inent in the campaign leading to the November election.

FREE SILVER AGITATION.
Denver Chamber of Commerce Defines
 Itself on the Sub jeot.

DENVER, March 18.-The Denver chamber of commerce. has mailed re- ply, of which the following are the con- eluding paragraphs, to 6 oommunioa- ton recently received from the New York chamber of commerce.:
 We take issue with the assertion that continuance of the agitation in favor of the free coinage of silver has not resulted in an enormous or any cost to the government, or that 1t stands in the way of revival of the confidence and national prospects.
 Public obligations are payable in coin of standard value of July II, 1873. Congress and attorney generals have officially declared them to be so paya- ble. The observance of the law by ad- ministrative officers in public interest would have made gold raids upon the treasury impossible, bond issues unnec- essary and bond syndicates unknown. \ Eastern investors hoarding greenbaoks to buy gold and holding gold to buy bonds, have left southern and western producers nothing to borrow and to cir eulate among their exchanges but bank notes and silver coin. Nothing stands in the way of confidence and prosperity, but the dealer in public securities, who. deploring their issue. demands more of them, those who believe tho nation can expand only by lettering it's limbs with gold, those who would deprive the gov ernment of it's paper issues and those who denounce agitation because they fear it."

 WASHINGTON. March 18.-The senate had an hour of spirited Cuban debate late Monday after the early part of the day had been given to speeches by MT. Lodge on immigration and MT. Pugh on silver.

 MT. Morgan read 3 letter from Secre- tary Olney saying the Spanish minister gave his permission for the public use of the statement. It claimed to detail tho insurgent methods of guerilla war. fare, the burning of oanefields and the disorganized character of the insurgent bands.
 MT. Morgan commented severely upon the minister's statement.
 Ihe senator had sharp controversies with MT. Hale over various phases of the Cuban question.
 During the day MT. Elkins offered B resolution directing the committee on foreign affairs to report as to the status of war in Cuba before vote was taken Ill the senate.
