SILVER MEN WON
The RepealerS Abandoned the
 Field to Them.
SENATORS WERE TIRED OUT.
Al I:3O n. m. MT. Voorhees, Moved For
 an Adjournment.

After VAinIy Attempting to Rally His Men and Collect His Scattered Quorum the Commander In Chief of the Repeal Forces Gave Up the BattIe-stswart Was All Ready to Continue His Speech Until sunday Morning, He said-silvcr Men Used HarRssInE Tactics.
 WAsHINGToN, Oct. lS-The deadlock has been broken The wearied senators on the repeal side of the silver issue gave up the fight and allowed an adjournment at 1885 this morning The motion WAS made by Senator Voorhees, himself when he found that his carefully guarded quorum had slipped away beyond recall.
 From parliamentary point of view there was no Thursdays session of the senate. The proceedings will appear as a contin- uance of Wednesday, session. Practically and from business point of view, how ever it was one of the most important and pregnant sessions that have been held since the 1th of August last.
 It began when the press dispatches closed at about 8 o'clock in the morning. The Populist senator from Nebraska, Mir Al len, was then about twothirds through his speech against tue repeal bill, and he fin ished it, with intermittent roll calls, at s a. m, having then occupied the floor for l4SI hours After he had retired from the scene an amusing little interlude took place, turning around the parliamentary puzzle of how to make a senator vote in spite of himself MT. Dubois played the principal part and although the senate voted not to excuse him for withholding his vote, he withheld it all the same, the only penalty imposed upon him being the nfhpiul of hiS 1rit ba journal of the senate.
 Soorhees Threatens to RetalIate.
 Two other little episodes were played. The one was the presentation by Mir Stew art of dynamite threatening letter sent to him from Baltimore, and the other was notice by Mir. Voorhees, that if half hourly roll calls were kept up for the purpose of forcing the continuous attendance of re- peal senators, he would resort to some means to compel the attendance of the notabilities" on the other side.
 The curtain fell about 10 a. m on the first act of the main drama. One of the two pending amendments to the repeal bill was laid on the table by a vote of 8S to r., and thus Mir Peffer's free coinage amend ment was eliminated from the question: at least temporarily. This left only one amendment pending to the house bill, be ing the substitute reported from the finance CbiuIllllSt, tllNl nlCn III aAlllllun to me repeal section, makes declaration that it is the policy of the United States to con tinuS the use of both gold and silver as standard money, and to coin both gold and silver into money of equal intrinsic and ex changeable value, such equality to be SC cured through international agreement ol by legislation.
 There are about dozen other impending amendments of which notice has been ,f . l., and pending at the same time, as it will bt an amendment in the second degree. All . of them, however, may be offered, each ir its turn, until final vote is reached on the bill. if it ever be reached. None of them was offered Thursday.
 The debate on the bill WAS continued by the Democratic senator from Kansas, Mir Martin. He began his speech against tht bill at 9:4O, and about o'clock he apolo gized for having allowed himself to be di verted from the main current of his argu ment and promised to devote himself to thu subject in an orderly manner for the neX 10 hours. The threat contained in tht promise turned out, however. to be ar empty one. for at 4 o'clock Mir Martin pleaded fatigue and yielded the floor, say ing that he would seek another oppor tunity of addressing the senate.
 Teller Jumps Into the Gap.
 After Mir. Martin the floor was taken b, Mir Teller, who continued speech agains the bill which he began last week.
 About S o'clock the situation in the sen ate took new aspect. and at that hour i appeared that the silver men. or some q them. had assumed the aggressive even L tho extent of compelling the presence q their enemies The visible signs of wear ness on the countenances of the senator were increasing with the passage of eac hour, and every time the sharp double rim of the electric bells called for quorum they rose from their lounges and snug eas chairs and came into the chamber wit greater reluctance
 The svmCtc-ns of discortant multiplied NIr sherman went home after dark, dt claring that he would not 5c Eo-e than ' hours ot such work continuously Tha : sentiment found an echo i- the breasts : other Republicans, but st!u they preserve their alignment beside ME. FoocLee! though in q pertunctory fashion that ca cited the apprehension oi tLa Cenocratj repeal managers.
 4 hasry consultation followed, and wit great difficulty tho leaders were induced t . sanction proposition for Q recess from ] o'clock until 10 o'clock Friday morning Probably they were brought to this pas by the fear of the final disappearance of quorum for the night, thus revealing fatal weakness
 But when it came to the execution , this plan there was an unexpected hitcl and the managers found that they ha calculated without their host in omittin MT. Stewart from their councils. That SCI ator had gotten the floor, and, "intoxicate with the exuberance of his own yerbosity and stimulated by the sight of the tr mendous audience in the galleries he cain ly replied, when appealed to to yield for motion to take a recess, that he proposed talk until Sunday morning without inte mission "a statement that gathere strength from the noted prowess of tI , senator in the line of discussion and h exceptional fresh and vigorous appearanc
 So MT. Stewart acclaimed with effect the galleries, resting only when the clerl at the instance of one of his silver co leagues, dropped the plummet and sounds the senate to ascertain if "a quorum sti held out Hope was still entertained some quarters, however, that MT. Stewa could be induced to desist before midnigh
 Stewart Would Not Yield
 The fact that an agreement had beS reached to take recess, although 1t VI - H0t carried out, was in itself significant n change of policy In the conduct of u bill. A recess for l2 hours, taken with u consent of the repeal managers, meant tn the continuous session or 'sitting-it-ou idea had failed of its purpose As far
 could be gathered, the Republican senate were largely responsible for its abando ment, and they counciled q return to som !, thing akin to the old order of long dai J but not continuous sessions. Another re son assigned for the recess programme. though this could not be confirmed, was desire to afford an opportunity to arran
