More silver Speeches.

HALF A SCORE. ofA SENATOR'S WHO ARE
YET TO AIR THEIR OPINIONS.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1O.-Mr.' Allison,
who has charge of the Silver BILL showed
his anxiety on Friday TO force vote on
this measure at as early a date as possi-
Bile, but the number of Senators who
have signified their intention of speaking
makes IL improbable that the vote will be
had under ten days. Passage through
the lower House will he delayed four or
five days longer, and IL is not probable
the bill will reach Hayes under "a fort
night if it does then.
The debate tomorrow is to be opened
by Mr. Davis, who will take up most of
the day. Mr.. Mcdonald is TO deliver n
speech something over an hour long. In
addition, Messrs. Burnside, Jones OF Ne
vada, Mcpherson and Mcmillan, Coke
and Conkling are TO deliver set speeches,
Mr.. Allison closes the debate. W essrs
Cockerel and Voorhees, propose TO reply
to speeches already made, and Cameron
of Wisconsin and Booth of California
have amendments TO speak to. AS bust
ness is usually conducted in the Senate,
it is difficult TO see how all this can be
disposed of before the middle of next
week.
