Seoretary Carlisle ïvmainail in the speuker's prívate oftice for an hour, conferrlng with house leaders on the effect of tha reverse guffered bjr the bill. Be8lde Ie and Crisp there v;;s present: Uatchlngs and Outwaitjkof the rules rumin '!,,■; Springer, who luii been in charge ofiiliabill; liull of Missouri, of the eurreiv?y committee, and Tuckerof Virginia. The talk partook somewhat of the nature of a i onferon e as to what coufse 01 action shoulcl bc pursuttd in fiew of tlie nnezpected .arn of offairs. Carlisle gave no Indication of chagrín, thougb he ahared the vit w of th ■ othera present that the defeat oli ■■ ! ;ii, pro9poct tor the bil] iu its present form. The wült was a surprise to him, for the seoretary liad not shnred the doubts of house leaders up to the time of the voto. Carlisle aprroed with the house leaders that it was desirable to let the bül rest for a time. He did not suggest aTiy new measure or aiiy material changos in the present one. It appeared to be the idea, liowever, that eftorts should be ilirected toward learnlng the objeetiona of those Demócrata who had voted aaainst the rule in order that these objections might be ovorcome if possible. After the conference Springer said that while sonie concessions niiglit be made in the interest of harmony, yet no concesslon could be made on the basis of giving the silver men evorvthin;; they wanted. "If Mr. Bland and liis friends will not frive us their assistance except on oondition of silver at a ratio of i 18 to 1, then they must shoulder the responsibility of the defeatof all leglslution, as no such oompromise is possible." Bland, who alded in the defeat of the bilí, said: "The vote undoubtedly meana the abandonnient of all hope to pass tlm Carlisle bill in its present form. But it is too soon to say that it ends the possibility of any legislation by this congress. As long as the effort is made to givo a monopoly to irational banks and peludo silver the plan will be fought. Thcre muy I yet be time to frame a measure adequate I for tho present situation, but it is eertain thut any sueli measure will give proper reeognition to silver."
