| WASHINGTON, Oct. 25-Senators PETER Of
| Kansas and Allen OF Nebraska. the two out
and-out Populists Of the Senate, now seem to
be the only really threatening obstacles in the
way OF an early vote on the Repeal bill. To.
day self-appointed committees Of Senators,
representing all sides Of the silver question.
have been hard at work endeavoring to nego-
tate an agreement under which voting can
| begin on the amendments to the Repeal bill 40
soon as the speeches OF Stewart and Teller
are finished. There was a general dispo-
| sition in the Senate to allow Mr.. Jones
! to complete his interesting and profound
essay upon the silver question. to the prepara-
ton OF which he has devoted many days and
nights OF labor. and which contains much
| valuable and interesting information. MIR.
Jones held the floor portion Of five days. and
when he reached the end OF his speech to-day
| he was warmly congratulated by all the
| Senators. He has. Of course. depressed re-
peatedly. and will omit from the printed report
many OF the statements he has made In re-
| ply to the questions and suggestions OF Sena-
| tors while he was on his feet Mr. Teller. too,
has SOM thinG that he really wishes to say boz
| fore the long debate closes. but as for Senator
| Stewart. he is still rambling along aimlessly
| in harangue which could cheerfuly be dis
pensed with. All OF these silver Senators.
however. are amenable to discipline now that
| unconditional repeal Is on its feet again. and
will no doubt be willing to stop talking when
| the proper time comes.
But Messrs PETER and Allen are not open to
| argument, and 1t is very much feared that they
| will make a systematic attem pt to keep up the
| fight either by demanding time in which to
| add to the long dreary speeches they have
already delivered. or by insisting upon an.
other debate on the silver question when the
various amendments como to be disposed
OF. There are other Popuists In the Senate
than Messrs. PETER and Allen. They are Mr..
Kyle and Mr. Irby. The former. however. 10
quito content with having done his duty 90 .
silver man and an obstructionist. and is now
| ready to face the issue. The South Carolina
Senator. too. while always opposed to repeal
| was equally opposed to compromise. and 10 so
fully satisfied with his own course in refusing
to sign the compromise agreement that he 10
now ready to have the contest fought out with.
| out resort to filibustering tactics.
There is only one Democratic Senator who.
| 1t is feared by those who are now arranging
| for an early vote. ia ant to caug6 trOifblA.
! although several. notably Mr.. Jones OF Arkan-
| sas. are still clamoring for free coinage. This
| Is MIR. Morgan OF Alabama. who Ia all the more
| q bugaboo because he has not been In the
Senate to answer for himself since the
! compromise was knocked out. Mr.. Morgan
is confined to his house by severe cold.
and until he returns to the Senate he will re-
| main an unknown quantity in the latest phase
OF the fight for repeal 1t will be necessary.
moreover, Tor MIR. Morgan TO state In open
session what his attitude Is. because he Is one
