TALK OF COMPROMISE Harmless Gossip About Possi ble Silver Legislation. FIGURING WITHOUT CLEVELAND Concraalona That Might t Mart on Doth SltUi What Nlgl.t aalona of the Senate and Conarqiient I'hjmleal Kxliauatlon . May Ilrlna; Forth. ( Washinotom, Sop. 20. There is ft marked increase la thenurabor nnJ variety of the rumors iuilicatln a compromise on the ;lver question. According to one of these stories the Secretary ot the Treasury is to appear In'fore the Committee on Fl ounce this vrvik (or consultation on the subjoct, but various memlwrs of that com mittee deny the truth of the statement, while others assort that they have never heard it mentioned either on the floor of the Senate or in committee. Senator Stc Fherson permits the use of his name In denying that such a proposition hn been advanced. Still, the fuct remains, that a great deal if being said lookiag in that di rection. The compromise, if there Is to he one, upon which it is thought the offer would be made would consist of concessions not only by the eastern, but by the silver men. The latest proposition discussed Is one that directs the coinage of the selgn orage now in the treasury and the pur chase and coinage of a further amount of silver to about the aggregate provided for in the Faulkner amendment, the silver to be coined to its full coluuge value, thereby preventint: the storage of any morn seign orage. This would appeal to two classes, those who wai.t the the purchases contin ued and these who believe that what the country needs Is an enlarged currency, and advocate the coinage of the selgnorage rather than the purchase of more metal. This would be a concession ot the east ern men, but it such a concession is made by them they will iusist that it be coupled with a concession on the part of the west ern men that will Incorporate in the law the authority given to the secretary of the treasury to issue bonds and buy gold when ever in bis judgment it becomes necessary to do so in order to maintain the parity be tween the two metals. Unless the silver men agree to this It Is said there cm be no compromise. It was upon such a' propo sition as this, or one akin to it, that it was said the secretary of the trcasuay was to lie invited to come before the commit tee. Secretary Carlisle whs la the marble room during the afternoon, but whether his visit had r.nythmg to do with the financial question is not known. Those who favor the compromise out lined state that it is known that Prcldeut Cleveland would veto it, but that would be provided for, and after Mr. Cleveland had stated his exception to the bill it would, by the sme combination that put it through before, be puahed to a passage over the veto. It is very certain that nothing hus been suid in committee indi cating any thought of compromise on the part of the friends of the administration, and )uiy steps that inny be taken in thr.t direction will be tukeu by members of the committee as suuators only. The fact is that there Appears to b an unusual Aiuount of lethargy about the Finance comni'ttee. There seems to We no way for it to force a vote on tte jj.-mlin j bill and until tuat is out ot the way it, sessions are held as a perfunctory perform ance of a specific duty. The discussion yesterday was of the most desultory sort and very llttlo interest was manifested, it being taken for granted that there was little need for talk until the Repeal bill had been voted upon, or, at least, nutil the dawn of the breaking of the debate could be seen in the distance. The bill of Mr. Morgan for the establishment of a joint commission of the two houses is looked upon by the Finance committee as a meas ure, intended to usurp their own functions, and very naturally, the members ot that committee will hardly report favorably a 'bill to legislate themselves out ot pr'Stige and power. The Faulkner amendment was talked about, but with no purpose ia view, because it Is looked upon as a com promise pure and simple and until the point is reached where compromises are In order it will receive but the most casual discussion. The whole situation may be summed up by saying Uv committee is playing a watch ing game, aid the action ot Mr. Voorhees on the floor later in the day waa but a move intended to force their opponents to take the nuxt step and indicate their pro. gramme.. The appearauee. of things . now indicate thi night sessions will bit the usual thibs rrjfore the committee is willing to take up the Tmulknm or amy other amendment and discuss it in a aerie as way as a possible solution of the pending diffi culty, SUU, there Are Senators Who pro fess to believe that a compromise .proposi tion will be crystallized before next week ta0T. .: t, , , , .1 j.

HALLIDAT MUOHTKWEP. Thomas McQuillan Visits the "layer of Hfj Wife and Daughter. Moxtickllo, X. Y., Sep. 19. The vil lage Is crowded with people from the vi einlty ot the Hallday murder and else where who are here to witness tho trial of Mrs. Halllday. The feeling Is very bitter against the woman and the people say it she Is crasy anw she was not so when she committed the muri'.ers. The woman baa shown every evidence ot fear and Is proba bly conscious of her approaching trial. To all appearanoe she Is still the muttering lunatic. Mrs. llallidty was visited in her cell yesterdjy by Thomas McQuillan, whose wife and daughter were two ot the victims of the murderess. The old man gased fiercely at the woman and could hardly re strain himself from harming her as he ex claimed: "That is the woman who came and took away my wife and daughter." The words were spoken with torrlbie earn ostuess and as the prisoner heard them she crouched down on her cot as though In fear mul then began muttering. Robert Halllday, son of the murdered man, identilled the watch which Slinritl Beecher found on the woman as his father's. SIovrirKMA X. Y., Sep. 14. "I see three angels above me," exclaimed Mrs. Halllday when she was visited in hor cell in the jail and then she said: "The two) women are nearest." Later she spoke again ot tbejtwo saying, "the women who visited the house and whom the old man wanted was the wife ot the Irishman." She was visited by Mr. Kiuney, clerk at the Hotel Hock well, to whom she talked in a rambling way of religious matters, endeavoring to tell him something about the Episcopal church, and claiming that she followed the teachings of that faith. These asser.ious she repeated several times and it may yet develop that the prisoner Is a religious fanatic A report has been re ceived here that a baud of gypsies are trav eling toward Stont (cello, but nothing has yet been seen ot them. Several times within the past week Mrs. Halllday has been detected gasing from her cell window in a perfectly sane way. It was discovered that she bad stuffed her pillow in front of the bars of her window insuring her from sudden detection. The prisoner ate heartily yesterday. Wheu she had fiulshed her supper she aid: "Oh, Nancy; I want to tell yon when I cMtne from Ireland to this country. Bar ney stole me away and took me a long ways where there were lota ot terrible people." She will probably soon tell who Barney is. She appears to bo cheerful. IIMT ROIIHKK COCH KAN.
