AVE. 3.8 —S———————— THE SILVER QUESTION, Mr. Cleveland Said to Advise the Restoration of the Bland Bill. ‘Mr. Cleveland has, it is said, informed rev- eral of those democrats in Congress who come nearest representing bis views on financial questions and who are anxious to have the diver matter settled in some way as speedily ae possible, that he will be content to have the Bland act restored as a com- promise in consideration of the repeal | of the Sherman act. How far he is using his influence to bring this about is un- certain, but those men in Congress who are in- teresting themselves in the matter are now very hopeful of being able to bring about a/ compromise. The very radical anti-silver men | are insisting that the fight must be made for | the absolute suspension of silver purchases, while the radicals on the other side of the question state that will not agree to the repeal of the Sherman act unless they ean have free coinage of silver, or the coinage of at least four million a month. It | isknown to be the opinion of Mr. Cleveland | that nothing can be accomplished as long as the two extremes are pitted against each other, and it is claimed that he is not in sympathy with those anti-silver men who ad-| vocate the demonetization of silver and no| compromise. To those with whom he has talked on the subject he is reported to have said substantially that a “condition, not a theory,” confronted them, and that it was ‘evident that if they insisted upon having everything they desired the | result would be that nothing at all wonld be | done. He 1s alleged to have expressed the opinion that it would be mach better to restore Bland act justas it was, with a minimum | coinage of two millions of silver, than to let the | present law stand, and that the chances were that if the anti-silver men did not agree to this they would not accomplish anything. Acting on this suggestion some of the more conservative men in the House and Senate are trying to work out a compromise, NOW TO GET THE QUESTION UP. The only way to get the silver question be- fore the House is by a special order from the committee on rules, and then there would be no guard against filibustering unless an hour for a Vote were fixed by special order. Under the policy established in the House when the silver men were trying to bring a free coinage silver bill toa vote no order for ® time at which a vote must be taken will be reported from the committee on rules unless petitioned for by a majority of the democrats of the House. This poltey prevented the passage of a free coiny bill last session, and now tho silver men, hav- i the victims of it once, will demand its tion for their protection, It will, therefore, be practically impossible for anything to be done unless there ix a very gencral agreement on the subject among the democrats, To bring about such an agreement great offorts are being made, and some of the anti-silver men are much dissatisfied by the position taken by somo of the radicals on their own side of the question, whose intemperate utterances made it more dificult to treat with the silver men. Representatives Culberson and Bynum have each prepared a bill providing for the repeal of the Sherman act and the restoration of the Bland law. The Culberson bill pro- vides, in addition, that all the silver bullion purchased tndor the Sherman act shall be coined, and that the “coin” certificates outstanding shall be destroyed as soon as they fall into the hands of the government. Under the Bland aot the certificates issued were re- deemable in & PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATIONS.

Members and Committees Who Are Anxious About Their Pet Measures, Speaker Crisp has his hands full compromis- ing the claims of committeemen anxious to se- cure favors from the rules committee in behalf of measures in which they are interested. There are at present a dozen measures in behalf of which a speciai order is being asked to set apart a day next week for consideration. Chairman Stump of the immigration com- mittee has seen the Speaker, who assured him that the committee would be given a day for its immigration restriction bill. ‘Mr. Stump asked for Tuesday, but no spe- cial day was decided on by Mr. Criep. The Torrey bankruptcy bill is being pressed for a special order. The bill, however, is not ex- pected to become a law at this Congress. Mr. Brickner and other members from the great lakes region are after anothor oppor- tunity to pass the omnibus light house bill, which secured @ special order just before th holidays, but received scant consideratigp ow- ing to the slim attendance in the House. ‘Tho commerce committee, which reported the bill, also want a day for the revenue cutter bill and bills making important amendments in the interstate commerce law to meet recent decisions by the courts. Special orders have been asked and promised for the Raum investi- Hi gation report and the bill for the election of the President and Vice President and of Sen- ators by direct vote of the people. ‘The judiciary committee wants a day for mis- cellaneous business, as do several other com- mittees. Mr. Bland has not yet preferred a request. but it is his intention to see , and ask another opportunity to pass a bill providing for the free coinage of silver. ‘Mr. Harter and other uncompromising anti- silver men say they are anxious for a ata repeal of the present Sherman silver bullion urchase law, and as a renewal of the silver Bght 1s about the only thing on which the radi- cnlson either side of the currency question oem agreed it looks asif there would be enother bout in this Congress over silver legis- ano ae ee ee Reasonable Rates on Melons, The interstate commerce commission today, WILL TAKE 4 REST. ‘The President Wants to Go Duck Shooting for a Few Daya. Itis more than probable that the President will steal away from the capital for a few days during the present month in order to indulge in his favorite pastime of duck shooting. He basa number of tempting invitations to visit neighboring presorves, with promise of a plen- tiful supply of game gn which to exercise his marksmanship,and has aboutconcluded to visit one a short distance down the Potomac within a week or two, provided his'public duties will permit it, A member of the club in question called on him yesterday and painted such a beautiful picture of the possibilities of sport under existing conditions that the President said be was sorely tempted to start for the lace at once. Gen. Sewell of New Jerse: ho his usual companion on euch ex; ns, ‘little sport” at the present time, It was the President's purpose to have en- joyed ashort recreation of this kind during Christman week, but the dangerons illness of his grandchild prevented his leaving the city at that time. Now, however, that the child is out of danger and ison the sure road to recovery he is once more under the spell of the sports- manlike fever and will take the earliest oppor- tunity to give it full indulgence. Rc «TOR THE MICHIGAN 5) ATORSHIP, Assistant Secretary Spaulding May Be Brought Up as a Compromise Candidate. Private information has reached here to the effect that Assistant Secretary O. L. Spaulding has been brought forward as a compromise candidate in the Michigan senatorial contest. A few days ago a conference was held, the pro- ceedings of which have not yet been made pub- shades of opinion were represented. names of all those prominently mentioned for Sentaor to succeed Senator Stockbridge were canvassed, and the consensus of opinion was that Gen. Spaulding possessed more elements of strength than any one whose name was men- tioned. This action, it out any | consent, understood, was taken with- authority from him and without his THE FIGHT ON STOCKRRIDGE. A well-known Michigan man in business here has received a letter from a prominent Detroit lawyer, to which is attached the following post script “As to the senatorship, it is reasonably cer- tain that Stockbridge will be his own successor. ‘The fight that Palmer and Hubbell are maki og against him is 80 purely personal that there has been a reaction in the Senator's favor. Palmer's quarrel commenced with the con- test over the Brule and Ontenagon railroad grant, in which Stockbridge was victorious, It soon became a bitter feud through the rivalry of their respective private secret minated in the exclusion of Palmer trom Presi | dent Harrison’s cabinet as Se: culture, having j sin delegation in presenting the name of “Uncle Jerry’ Rusk. “Luce cannot possibly win and ought not to for he is a narrow-minded and. illibera! “bigot, and is making his race on the ‘granger issue.” It is the field against — Stock- bridge, and the only way he can be beaten ix to draw off enough complimentary votes so as to prevent a nomination on the first ballot and then bring onta ‘dark horse.’ If that is done the quiet business drift ix in favor of Gen. Spaulding,it being thought best to keep Burrows in the House.” o-— WILLIAM HENRY SMITH’S CHARGES. His Efforts to Secure Access to Historical Papers in the State Department. | _ The introduction in the House yesterday by Mr, Outhwaite of Ohio of a resolution for the investigation of the alleged ring which for years, it is claimed, had control and exclusive use of the valuable historical books in the State Department again renewed the talk regarding this affair. A gentleman who isa close and in- timate friend of Mr. William Henry Smith, and who is well acquainted with the details of the trouble he found in obtaining access to papers he desired, made the following statement to a ‘Sran reporter yesterday: “The published articies are trae. Mr. Curtis isin part correct only. Mr. Smith did write | to him, as he says, arking him (as he had eon- nection with the State Department) to see what he could do. ‘This was really to test the wit tion and was not followed up by Mr. Smith then, because Dwight was removed—the end desired, “But Mr. Curtis has forgotten, if he ever | sition occurred ars before he was brought into the case and after he had secured to Henry Adams the exclusive use of material Mr. Smath had applied for five or six years before. “Tho reason other than the removal of Dwight why Mr. Smith did not come to Wash- ington and designate the letters at that !a was that Dwight’s excuse was a subterf in the very first application, mad Mr. Smith had described the papers | Dwight had not then said it was’ nece | desirable to have Mr. ars before, want or Smith select the letters personally, On the contrary, he said that the | rules of the department bited such per- |sonal examination, and that he would jneed to do the’ work himself, which |he would be glad to do. The years went by, during which Dwight practiced the tactics of obstruction, but never once set up the reason given by Curtis Adams was | about ready to go to press, This to cover up his sinuous courre. “Then it did not matter to Mr, Smith, as he had got from the British archives much that he wanted from the State Department. Since Dwight's day Mr. Smith has had no difficulty and the department «up- lies a calendar to the applicant’ in which the letters are described.

The Senate Will Probably Not Do Mach Business. There appears to be a disposition in the Sen- ate on the part of the republical members to do 8 little as possible pending the change in the administration and the possible change in the organization of the Senate itself. A leading republican Senator said today that outside the appropriation bills there would be little done. “We are not disposed to ignore sanitary legislation and that matter will be at tended toas soon as possible,” he continued. “It would be folly for us to pass any partisan measures, for they would not go through the ‘House and the calendar would simply be lum- dered up with a mass of bills that could never become laws. Looking at the situation from every point of, view I'am inclined to think that we will do as little as we possibly can.” Yesterday an order was issued setting apart tomorrow for the consideration of immigration and quarantine bills.

TRANSFER OF TROOPS. But It Will Net Affect the Inauguration Display. Gen. Schofield told a Stan reporter today that orders bad already been given for an exchange of stations by the third and fourth regiments of | Artillery and that the movement would begin | before the close of the present mosth. The | third artillery is stationed at Washington | barracks and at Fort McHenry near Baltimore | and the fourth artillery is stationed at Atlanta, | Ga.,and Barrancas, Fla. They will be moved | by battalions, and the entire transfer will take | atleast a month. There will be no difference in the number of troops at either station, for the reason that when one battalion is started [south another will be started north and the | second transfer will not begin until the first is finished. It is merely the customary transfer of troops and has no bearing whatever on the | coming inauguration ceremonies. Gen. Scho- | ficld said he was at loss to account for the im- | pression that there would be no regular troops available for the inauguration parade, when | the fact is there will be a better display ‘of the [army on that occasion than haa been the case for man; AMNESTY TO MOKMONS, The Effect of the President's Proclamation on the Subject.
