It is estimated that not less than six weeks will he re quired for the debate on the three tariff hills, and ns sev eral of the npproptiatioii bills will meanwhile he re ported nml disposed ot, it seems safe to say that it will be tariff hills. Mr. Bland speaking for the silver demo crats, says they will not ob ject to the tariff bills having: precedence, if the committee on Rules will set a d.iy for the consideration of the free coinage hill, but thnt Ihey will giveway nothingunless such a day is net. lie wiil not hear of the compromise proposition which has been suggested, that an early day in the next session of Con gress be set for the takingup of the free coinage bill. Some sort of a compromise, such as can be approved by all conservative democrats, will have to be reached before the House can proceed much fat thor. It is an absolute polit ical necessity. The Government printing office deficiency for the cur rent fiscal year is $38..00O. Notwithstanding the im mense appropriations made by the billion dollar Congress,' there will be a deficiency in nearly every one of the de partments of the Govern ment. Mr. 1). 0. Mills, who is the head of the syndicate which holds the Behrings Sea scal ing privilege, was the fellow guest of. Mr. Harrison and Secretary Blaine at a dinner given by his old business as sociate, Secretary Elkins, an evening or two ago, and gos sip says his coming here at this time is closely connected with the business before the Behrir.g's Sea commission. With two such friends as Sec retaries Blaine and Elkins in the cabinet, Mr. Mills h is a right to feel confident that his interests will be properly protected by the administra tion. Representative Ilarter, of Ohio, whose opposition to the free coinage of silver has given him considerable prom inence of late, has handed Mr. Holman, chairman of the democratic caucus, a request signed by forty odd demo rrsus, for the calling of a cau cus on the silver question, and Mr. Holman says he will i issue the call this week.

Mr. Harrison has caiied up on Mr. Blaine to checkmate the movement, and he 'ia promised to do so, but the maniiithe White House is afraid of the ex-Speaker all the same, as he knows that, he bears him neither love nor good-will.

DIFFERENCES RECONCILED. Nuw Oiilkans, La. T h e conference committee repre senting the two factions of the Louisiana Democrats came to an agreement by which the two tickets of State officers, nominated at Baton Rouge in December last , shall be submitted to a vote of the white democrats of theState to be cast; at a primary elec tion, the ticket receiving the largest number of votes to be declared the regular Dem ocratic ticket aad voted as such at the general election in April next and the other to be withdrawn. This prop osition originated with the Fos ter i a c t i o n . 1 1 h a s a h ead y been accepted and ratified by the McEnery faction, but the Foster faction will not de clare its position upon it un til this afternoon.

It is al so somewhat novel and quite unique in the annals of our time. I!" proposes to force himself on the Chicago '(!'.i vonlion na the nouiineeoi'the Democratic parly. He is ev dentiy h mest in the tielief that it can be don" and that lie can do it. He t hinks i; possible to persuade the con vention that they must ei lh;T choose him for th" first place or suffer inevitable de fejt. With the cry o.B "Hill and Tamany!'' he hopes to sweep the land. It isa scheme admirable for its very audac dacity, the boldest th.at has ever been recorded in our an nals. B n t y e s t e r d a y sc o n v e n t i o n emphasized the fact that New York Stateis vei y badly pplir. Hill has the machhie without j a doubt, but a vety largej number of Democrats are yet to be convinced thnt he has the people. All this show is well enough in its way, but the party of the State has a very bit ter feud on its hands, and the aggressive policy of Mr. Hill has excited a degree of opposition which rende-s the vote of November uncer tain for himself though it drives Cleveland out of the field. The National convention will not be unmindful of that state of affairs, for Mr. I i-i. ilil has furnished the si rongesi possible argiiment infavorof the position taken by the Herald months ago. Wo then said, and have since found no occasion to change our mind, that the nominee for the Presidency should not hail from New York. The great bulk of the peole believe t h a t Tammany methods should not be introduced in to tho White House a n .1 nothing could be more un fortunare for the Democrats than to nominate any one who would make the anti Tammany cry an important element of the campaign. A Western man who has also the respect of the South a man like Watterson, for instance with Hill for sec ond place, would be cf rtain to carry New York and the country.
