WASHINGTON, Oct. s1.-Seven or eight
Democratic senators visited Secretary Car
Isle as the representative of the admins
tration at the treasury department and
submitted to him a proposition to take the
place of the repeal measure now before the
senate, which they thought practically all
the Democratic senators would support.
Secretary Carlisle dissented from some
of the terms of the proposition, and showed
wherein they would in practical operation
be objectionable There is excellent reason
for saying, however, that before the mid
die of next week the repeal bill will pass,
to take effect not later than the LIST of Octo-
Der, 1894, probably with provision author
izing the secretary Of the treasury to issue
bonds not exceeding 500, boo, 900 and coin
the seignio-age nowin the treasury.
This, it is said, would not be considered
a surrender by the administration, and it
is stated on reliable authority that the bill
passed in this shape would not be objection
able to the president.
The correspondent of the New York Her
aid sent the following to his paper. THE
silver purchase clause of the Sherman act
is to he Internationally repealed, but the
repeal is not to take effect until some day
in the future.
SILVER senators, frightened by the grow
ing signs of the adoption of a closure rule
if their obstruction is continued, have
weakened. and the only thing remaining as
an obstacle in the way of the Democrats
getting together is the question of date
when the repeal shall take effect
'Silver men are striving for the latest
date possible, and sound money advocates
are seeking to have it fixed for the earliest
day possible
Van Allen Confirmed.
The senate devoted Il hours to executive
business and gave the seal of its approval
to the appointments of Mr.. Van Allen as
ambassador to Rome and Mr.. Kilbreth as
collector of customs at New York.
In the case of Mr. Van Allen most of the
time was consumed in debate on the ques-
tion of his confirmation. Lively speeches
both for and against confirmation were
made. A motion was made to send the
Van Allen nomination back to the commit
tee, but n motion to lay that motion on the
table was carried.
This left the nomination still before the
senate for debate. Van Allen was con-
firmed, 50 to -. The senate after the ex-
ecutive session removed the injunction of
secrecy from the vote by which j. J. Van
Allen, nominated to be ambassador to Italy,
