Republicans are Waiting for the Demo.
crats to Como to Some Agreement.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 6-seVeral
senators have been discussing plans for
starting the latter part of next week on
visit to the Worlds Fair.
Senator Sherman said in an intervieW
that the Republicans were simply wait
ing for the Democrats to come to an
agreement on the silver question among
themselves, which they would in the
end have to do. There has boon "a GEM
eral increase OF sentiment in this direc-
ton during the day. The attempt to
secure night sessions have been post
poned until next Wednesday.
The hest opinion is that Mr.. Voor-
hees will carry into effect his intention
Of asking for the prolongation of the
senate into the night, and ii be fails in
this effort, or fails in retaining a
quorum. the senate will be in better
mood for coming to an understanding.
1t is understood that some OF the Re-
publican advocates of repeal will de.
cline to assist the Democrats to the ex-
tent OF sitting up nights with them.
The greater part Of the talk OF COM
promise is still on the line OF Mr..
Faulkrer's amendment with a bond
provision added. There is, however, no
looking to the continuation
OF the Sherman act Tor definite time,
two or three years, but the suggestion
has not met with general favor on
either aide.

In tho House-only Three More Days Left
For Debate.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.-The house was
occupied to-day by speeches on the
election bill. But three days remain
for the debate. Night sessions will
also be ordered so that all who desire
to speak shall have an opportunity.
Only twenty-tbree members by actual
count were present when Speaker Crisp
dropped the gavel. All morning busi-
ness was dispensed with, and Mr..
Hainer, Of Nebraska, resumed the floor
to complete his speech in opposition to
the Tucker bill. Mr.. Hicks, OF Penn
sylvania, opposed the bill. Mr.. Brook.
shire, OF Indiana, spoke in support OF
the measure.
Mr.. Ray, OF New York, who also op.
posed the bill, claimed that the issue
was not a sectional one. The federal
election laws were not necessary to pro.
tect the ballot.
Mr.. English, OF New Jersey, spoke in
support OF the bill.
Mr.. Amos Cummings, OF New York,
followed with vigorous speech. "These
laws" he said, "were the result Of party
necessity, not national needs. They
were the substratum Of the force bill,
which the Democrats in their platform
had pledged themselves to repeal in
their entirety. [Applause.l
Mr. Cummings went on to detail the
operatiou of the election laws in New

Balance is Increasing.
WASHINGTON, D. G., Oct. 6.-severai
days ago the treasury department
mailed interest checks aggregating in
value about s5,OOO,OOO to pay interest
on the public debt due October i. The
effect of their payment is already being
felt in the reduction Of the gold reserve,
which to-day stands at $50, 1893, as
compared with reserve of $03,5s2, 172

The reserve has nearly reached the
lowest point in its history, which oc-
Cured about the middle of last Juno

rency balance. however, has turned the
other way from that OF the gold reserve
and shows an increase of S2,647, 200,
since the second OF the month.
