NOW READY FOR REPEAL
The Measure May Reach the House
This Evening.
TO BE QUICKLY RUSHED THROUGH

Now Believed That Congress VIII Adjourn
On Thursday Next, After the Disposal of
tho Amended Chinese bill and tho Con-
frination of Justice Hornbiower.
WASHINGTON, Oct. Soft Senator voor-
hees' calculations do not mlscary the re
peal bill will be disposed of by the senate
before the hour OF adjournment, which
may be late tonight. The bill will be
passed by a majority Of ten or possibly
eleven votes, and the long contest will be
ended and the purchasing clause of the
Sherman act expunged from the books &c
far as it lies in the power of the senate to
do that.
With the silver phase of the financial
question out of the way the senate will be
ready 10 either adjourn until the begin
ing of the regular congressional session IN
December, or to take recess until some
specified time previous to the 4th of De
cember. With the pressure removed 1t IL
probable that tho senate will this even
ing for tho first time for two weeks, ad
journ after the conclusion of the days
business until tomorrow noon, after which
the sessions will run along regularly, In
accordu nee with the custom of that body
until some other emergency arises to ere
ate n change.
1t is probable that the senate will dur
ing the week dispose of tho house bill OK
tending the time in which past Chines
laborers may be allowed to register. ThiI
bill will be reported to the senate by III
committee on foreign relations today, ant
the supposition is that it will be taken NJ
promptly after the passage Of the repea
bill, as the administration Is understood
to be DESTROYS of having the bill become I
law before adjournment
II the house loses any time in disposini
Of the repeal bill the senate has quite
large calendar upon which IL can draw TO
working material. The federal election
bill could be taken up if desired, but
will be allowed to go over until the regn
lar session. The probabilities are that
after the repeal and Chinese bills are gu
| of the way there should be time to devot
toprlvate bills and other measures Of mino
| Importance in the local calendar, Their
| will also be an effort to close up the execu
| tive business. If the committee in tn
judiciary succeeds in securing a quorur
the nomination of Judge Hornblower I
be justice of tho supreme conit will b
considered and probably reported favor

the senate later in the week.
Senators are counting upon an adjourn

shall be will depend upon the wishes {
the committee on ways and means. Prom

friends OF the former measure have give
up all hope of procuring vote on II 1

the unexpected does not happen. Mr.. Wi

turns up there will be very little of pub,
interest.
