WASHINGTON.

Washington dispatch: “Representative Warner, of Ohio, is in the city talking silver to the President and Cabinet. He expresses the opinion that Congress will pass a compromise bill during the coming session, but admits that the lines are drawn as finely as ever, both by the silver advocates and their enemies. ” Land Commissioner Sparks has addressed a letter to Secretary Lamar, recommending that the proclamation of President Hayes of March 16, 1877, defining the boundaries of the Zuni reservation, and also a proclamation of President Arthur to the same effect, be affirmed, the object being to remove all color of claim made by certain parties to the Nutria Springs.
