WAsuINa1oN, Sept. ll.-There
IS gouu utat vi speculation as W
how much longer the debate ON the
repeal bill now in progress will
last. 1t has been announced that
33 senators have arranged to speak,
and mat besides these 10 or IL 9th.
ers may decide to take hand be.
fore the conclusion of the debate.
Snould this prove true it is more
than probable snow will be flying
before the latter is settled. Even
if a compromise il ultimately agreed
upon, the tiual vote will not be
taken earlier than about the first
week in October. The silver sena
tors still insist that vote cannot
be reached at all without the co.
ture rule. Under the rules Of the
senate there is no provision what
ever for shutting off debate, and it
ls not probable such rules will be
adopted now.

issuad or0ers 10 the commanuan. OF
the Norfolk Navy Yard to prepare
the cruiser Detroit for sea at once.
Her destinstion is said TO be Gray,
town, Nicaragua, where the depart
ment smells trouble has again
broken out. The officials presume
o.her warships in addition to the
Alliance, on that coast, are deemed
necessary for the protection of our
interests. Both the state and navy
departments have IN .de efforts this
week TO reach our representative in
Nicaragua, and their inability TO do

revolution has begun which necessi-
tated the absolute control by one of
the paroles of the telegraph lines.

constant touch with congressional
legislation on ali branches of in
DUTY throughout the country.
THIS part of the programme has
not been definitely decided on, how
ever, and the principal business of
the convention will be to discuss
other matters which will mean, in,
cidentaiiy, greAtinany her ques-
