WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.-There Is talk

recess while the silver question is still
before the senate, says morning
paper. The compromisers on both

porters by leaving them with less than
q majority for the bill in its present
form. They have not yet succeeded in
getting anything like majority to sup

vocated, but they still hope that II the
senate gets into protracted deadlock
with the silver senator's filibustering
they may be able to have compromise
adopted on the plea that 1t is the only
possible solution of the difficulty.

COMPROMISES PRoJECTs
Are Becoming Fainter and Fainter
Every Day.

Every Day.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.--The difficulties
in the way of securing compromise on
the repeal bill become more and more
apparent every day because OF the diff
ferences which exist in the Democratic
chamber. These have made them
selves from the beginning most manifest
on the question of issuing bonds.
Some Of the especial champions OF the
administration insist that II silver Iis
to be coined to the extent of 500, O00, QUO
or $500, ,0oo, 900. as is proposed, in order
to preserve the parity ofgold and silver,
it will be absolutely necessary to pro-
cure greater supply of gold. This posi-
tion 10 combated by o majority OF the
silver Democrats, and many OF them
announce their unalterable opposition.
The discussion has also developed the
fact that there are some Democrats
senators who favor repeal who will not
vote for bond issue because of the bad
effect which they think the adoption 81
such a policy would have upon the
party. Unless the bond question can
be in some way eliminated from the
measure, il, therefore, seems impossi-
BILE for the Democrats to agree upon q
bill as party measure. A RepublicaN
senator expressed the opinion that when
compromise came, If it should come, Il
would originate on his side Of, the
chamber.

voorhees, Says the Silver Repeal Bill
Will Pass.

VIII Pass.
WASHINGTON, Oct. s. Senator Voor-
hees maintains the utmost confidence
in the ultimate passage of unconditional
repeal, but declines to fix a date. To
Secretary Gresham, who solicited the
senator's views, Mr.. Voorhees, said he
had full confidence in the passage Of
the bill. Next Friday the senator will
try to enforce continuous sessions.
This will be done by voting down mo-
tions for ad journment. Senator'S Pal
mer and Cullom say also that uncondi.
tional repeal will pass.
There seems to be very little change
in the silver situation. The repealers
insist that their programme will be
carried out. The silver men drew con-
siderable consolation from the story
given out by The World that German
was playing false to the administration,
and that there had been split between
Carlisle and himself.
Senator Washhurn had talk with
German, and the latter evidenced no
disposition to go back on his original
position, though he was vexed at the
newspaper report. Democratic senators
favoring repeal say there is nothing
new.
