Gen- eral Weaver declares he will not yield, and whichever way they turn for a com- promiee they are threatened with a new entanglement. In the firab instance, sev• (toil days ago the majority were endea- voring to adopt 0 resolution that would give the Oklahoma bill a chance to be veted on.

Now, 10 10 under- stood, Mr. Carlisle would be willing to compromise with general Weaver by fix- ing a time to vote upon his bill. This, however, while relieving them from Mr. Weaver is likely to provoke antagonism in another quartet: that would talc() the same form.
