Daily News Special
Jackson, March Snow that all
four of the members Of the silver
service commission are in the city,
or will be during the major portion
of the present week, it is expected
that some action will be taken looking
to a settlement Of the deadlock,
which existed for several week, dur
ing which Gov. Noel and DR.. Rowland
have stood steadfastly by their reso-
luton not to do anything toward a
purchase until more money Is raised
to take the place Of that in the custody
of Gov. Vardeman, or until that is
placed with the remainder of the
fund.
All eyes are naturally turned toward
Gov. Vardeman, and it has been in
timated by some Of his close friends
that he would soon be heard from
with a new proposition which ought
to settle the matter. While the for
mer governor has maintained silence
so far as the press Is concerned, on
this particular point, it has leaked
out from apparently authentic sources
that he has at least been considering
a proposal to turn over the money

committee such as he suggested some

That he will deviate from his deter
