LDd for Speedy Repeal.
. HINGroN, D. c., September To-
snate, during the coming week,
vote itself almost entirely to the
sion of the repeal bill. Possibly
Ornay be an occasional break In the
oony, caused by taking up some
subject during the morning hour,
he calendar affords very little
for diversion in this respect. The
"A lar is indeed one OF the brlefest Of
government publications these days,
owing TO the fact that general commit
zee action has been discouraged in
the interest OF the legisla-
tioI on the Sherman act. 1t
contains two or three bills providing
for the settlement Of government
claims, three resolui ,Ons for thu pay
ment of the expenses Of recent Aaim-
ants to seats in the Senate, Senator
Morgan's resolution for fnan5 COM
promise. A half dozen measures Of mi
nor Importance reported from the Com
mittee on Public Lands, Senator HIPS
bill for the repeal OF the federal election
law Senator Voorhees, repeal bill and
his bill for the removal Of the tax on
State banks.
THE VOORHEES, BILL.
Mr.. VOORHEES, decided more than a
week since that it would be ineXpedient
TO push his bill in the interest OF the
National banks until the more i'm
portant repeal bill should be disposed
OF, and his repeal bill has been laid
aside 70 allow the House more time to
discuss, when, II the question Of un-
conditional repeal Is reached, the Voor-
hees bill will probably be substituted
for the bill which comes from the other
end OF the Capitol.
Recognizing, as he does, the supreme
Importance OF financial legislation,
Senator Hill will not attempt TO secure
,rsideration for his anti-federal cleo
aw bill until the question OF re-
Is concluded.
icy are only subjects OF national
jrtance before the Senate, except
tor PETERS resolution concerning
reserves OF the New York, Phila-
ola and Boston banks. The PETER
luton has already been made TO do
siderable duty as time-kiIler, and
occupies a place where il can still be
,ized for that purpose. This meas
rel is not on the calendar, but lies on
ne, table, and can be taken up for dis
,uss ion at any time during the morning,
and as long as there is any one who de-
aires to talk upon IL il will not be re-
ferred. II, therefore, the oppOnentS or
repeal prefer TO vary the discussion,
they can talk every day, up TO o'clock,
upon this resolution.
THE OPPOSITION SCHEME.
II Is quite evident that IL Is the pur-
nose OF the repeal advocates TO hold
that measure before the present as the
one object Of the session 10 the eXcluS-
ion of every other subject as far as that
can be done This DILL has right Of way
after . o'clock, IL is even possible that
the bill will be pressed more persistently
during the present week than IL was last
week, now that there is cessation or
the compromise talk.
II does not appear, however, that e1-
traordinarily long hours are to be in
sisted upon. Mr.. Voorhees, has found
that all efforts 10 crowd the Senate in
This respect are stubbornly resisted, and
he has concluded that time will be
gained by letting the debate take its
legitimate course until IL becomes sp-
parent that discussion has degenerated
into flibnstering. The outlook for the
week is therefore one Of solid talk on
the financial situation with the bill re-
pealing the purchasing clause Of the
Sherman law as basis.
IN TEE HOUSE
the coming week the Ways and Means
hank and currency and appropriations
committee which are proceeding under
a resolution passes when the committee
we're announced, none OF the other
Uouse committees have had meeting.
Not a bill has been reported. This
leaves ,thel House without calendar
ard therefore unable TO go ahead with
the Consideration of the legislative mat
tsrs except by unanimous consent. As
soon as the report OF the committee on
accounts assigning clerks 10 commit
taes is disposed Of tomorrow, the COM
noittees will get down 10 work. 1t Is
10 iptsntiOn OF the Democratic
leaders who control the House destinies
to occupy the attention OF that body,
nanding action on the silver bill in the
Senate with the bills for the admission
NJ the territories, the bill repeating the
present election law and perhaps the
bankruptcy bill. These measures will
be kept to the fore to the exclusion Of
All banking aud kindred financial meas
ures which might serve 10 complicate
matters In the Senate. 1t is hardly
nrobable. however. that any Of them
will Qet before the House during the
coming week. 50 that the chances are,
nnIess something now unforeseen should
come 20 the surface, that the House,
sfter me dispOsal Of the report OF the
Committee On Accounts tomorrow, will
sdiourn two or three days at time for
remainder OF the week.
