Belief That tho President Will
Sign it-Thc House VIII Accept
Anything.
WAsnrvGToX, D. G., Oct. 1.-THE
wilson.Voorhe repeal bill, or a sub
sutute for it, will again this week com.
mand the exclusive attention Of the
senate. but the indications now are that
this will be the last week for tho present
given to the subject in the senate. If
the compromise men do not encounter
unexpected obstacles their substitute
will be prepared for introduction by the
middle OF the week. 1t ls part OF the
programme not to introduce the bill
until assurance of sufficient support to
secure its passage is received. Conse'
quently. when the bill is once presented
in the senate, it will be generally un-
derstood that the end Is in sight.
There will be some briet speeches in
exclamation, II not in defense OF the
measure and some longer speeches in
opposition to it. Being q compromise
measure it will represent no one mans
views, and it will not be satisfactory to
any one. 1t will be composite picture
OF the opinions OF Senators CockreIl,
Jones, OF Arkansas, Harris, Faulkner,
German, Gray, Hill and many other
Democratic senators, with snap shot Mt
the theories OF some OF the Republican
senators as well. As consequence no
one of them will see himself in it. No
more will it be familiar to or to the lik-
ing of any one section OF the country.
But it will probably go through il intro
duced and become law.
sILvGRITEs MAY NOT LIKE IT.
The senators from tho silver produc.
ing states will be the most vigorous in
their expressions OF disapproval. Yet
it is barely possible that some of them
will vote for it. They will do so II
necessary 10 got the bill through and in
doing SO will not be inconsistent. They
will take the bill as a choice OF evils, ii
it should prove to be at all favorable
to silver As matter OF fact,
as the bill is now outlined it is really
more favorable to the white metal than
silver men have hoped for at any time
since Senator Voorhees, announced
his adherence to the repeal
cause. 1t is probable, however that the
senator's from the silver producing states
will not find it necessary to vote for the
bill. The compromise workers are not
vet hopeless OF securing the assent oil
almost all the repeal leaders D the
Democratic side and OF making SUBJ
stitute as party measure, Just as, un-
der the advice OF Senator German, they
attempted at the beginning OF the ses-
sion to make the original bill, II they
do not get the support OF the entire
Democratic party in the senate they
will probably be able to get a sufficient
number of votes from among the repeal
Republicans to guarantee the success OF
the bill.
MAY VOTE FOR IT.
There are known to be several Repub.
licans on the repeal side whose un-
iriendness to silver is OF SO mild typo
that they will be more than willing to
see it retain fair degree OF recognition
III this country. II, therefore, the bill!
should come in with a limitation in
point OF time and amount on the silver
purchase, with provision for bonds
Tor the preservation oithe parity Of gold
and silver, and without any reference to
the removal Of the state bank tax, as is
now promised, it will secure support
81, gI. Of hn
chamber ii necessary for its passage.
The Democratic senators who are hold
ing out the most stiflly against COM
promise are the personal champions of
the President like Voorhees,, Palmer,
Mills, Smith and Villas.
The belief is general that the house
will accept almost any substitute that
the senate will adopt, and majority
incline to tho opinion that the Presl-
dent will sign the bill when it reaches
him. There are a great many members
OF tine house who voted for repeal, who
desire an opportunity to show that they
are not 70 antagonistic to silver as their
former vote would indicate. They also
want the question settled.
There is also a general belief that
when the bill is once signed there Will
be the speedy movement in Congress
looking to n recess Until the beginning
OF the regular session, the first Monday
IN December.
The outlook therefore for the senate
this week is that Senators Jones, Teller,
Peller and Martin will conclude
speeches already begun, that Senators
voorhees,, Allen, Morgan and Stewart
may also have some concluding words
TO utter that the compromise bill will
be brought in and that, while it will
probably be finally accepted, there will
be some more oratory before it is put
through.
Tho recess Is not probable before
week after next.
THE HOUSE
Several important matters will fgme
in the house horoscope for the coming
week. The McCreary bill to extend
the provisions OF the Geary act for six
months will go to n vote tomorrow
afternoon at 8 o'clock, and will un-
donbtedly pass by large majority de.
spite the opposition OF the Pacific coast
members, 1t is hardly probable that
either OF the three amendments offered
by Mr.. Geary will carry, although
there is possibility that the one re-
quring Photographic Identification,
und possibly the one defining Chinese
merchant may secure the support OF a
majority. The AlcGrearv bill will be
followed By tho Cox bill to nrevnut
