There were two speeches delivered on
the repeal BILL the first by Senator Nc
Pherson, Of New Jersey, and the second by
Senator Cockrell, of Missouri. Mr.. Nc
Pherson's speech was In support of the
bill He declared II to be his belief (Which
was shared, he thought, by two-thrds of
I the people of the United States who had
any opinion on the subjecO that the Sher-
man law was the main cause, the true
cause, the only visible cause, of the bust
hess troubles OF the country.
Mr. Cockrell's speech was in continue
ti0n of the one which he began Monday,
and was directed against the pending bill
He ridiculed the idea Of the Sherman law
having any influence in bringing about
The financial panic, and attributed it
rather to the legislation to establish gold
monometalism in European countries and
In the United States. But ms interna-
honal bimetallism, in his opinion, was an
impossibilty, mere dream. as impracti-
Fable as universal language. He spoke
for five hours, and had not then come to
an end Of his speech, The house bill to re-
pal the election laws was received during
Ins day.

As the eve of the test of physical endur-

administration senator's, and this feeling
was evinced yesterday afternoon In nuiner-
Gus conferences between administration
and antiadministration Democrats, a num-
ber of these conferences taking place in
Mr.. VS. rhees' rooms. The attitude of the
Republicans is causing the Democrats
some alarm. Whether they will go to the
sHtent Of remaining and assisting through
the weary watches of the night in main
thining quorum is q question that can
not be definitely answered.
n According to the program of the silver
ACeA they will make motion to adjourn
Yafternoon when the usual hour of q
ives, which motion will of course be
u voted down by the repealers Then Mr.
Dubois. speaking for the silver men, will
state their position, after which the debate
will proceed, Mr.. Martin, OF Kansas open
ing. lie VIII probably be followed by Mr.
Stewart. Mr. Dubois will remain on guard
and insist upon the presence Of a quorum.
The silver men will remain and aid in
keeping up the quorum until about IL
o'clock, when, as one Of them put 1t, the
screws" will be applied. This means
that the silver men will withdraw and
force the repealers to have their own
quorum present. Should any attempt be
made to adjourn or take recess the silver
men will antagonize it, and insist upon =
continuous session until some agreement
has been reached.
