WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-The wilson
voorhees, repeal bill, or substitute for
1t, will again this week command the
exclusive attention of the senate, but
the indications now are that this will
be the last week for the present given
to the subject in the senate. If the
compromise men do not encounter I'M
expected obstacles, their substitute will
be prepared for Introduction by the
middle of the week. Its a 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 under
stood that the end is in sight. There
will be some brief speeches in eXplana-
ton, if not in defense, of the measure,
and some louger speeches in OPP
position to it. Being compro-
mise measure, it will represent
no one mans views, and it
will not be satisfactory to any one. 1t
will be a composite picture of the Opin-
ions Of Senators Cockrell, Jones, of
Arkansas, Harris, Faulkner, German,
Gray, Hill and many other Democratic
senators with snap shot at the theories
or some of the Republican senators as
we'll AS a consequence no one of them
will see himself in 1t. No more will it
be familiar or to the liking of any
one section of the country, but it will
probably 20 through as introduced and
BECOME A LAW.
The senators from the SlVer-prOducing
states will be the most vigorous in their
expression of disapproval. Yet it is
barely possible that some of them will
vote for it. They will do so if necessary
to get the bill through, and III doing so
will not be inconsistent. They will
take the bill as choice of evils if it
should prove to be at all favorable to
silver.
As matter of fact, as the bill Is now
outlined, it is reallyEmOre favorable to
the white metal than the silver men
have hoped for at any time since Sen
atOr Voorhees, announced his adherence
to the repealers. 1t is probable, how
ever, that the senators Of the silver
producing states will not find it neces-
sary to vote for the bill. The com
promise workers are not yet hopeless
securing The assent of almost ali the re-
peal leaders on the Democratic side. If
they do not get the support of the ell
tire party in the senate they will prob
able be able to get a sufficient number
ri votes from among the repeal Re-
publicans to guarantee the success of
the bill. There are known to be sew
eral Republicans on the repeal side
whose unfriendlineSs to silver is of so
mild type that they will be more than
willing to see it retain fair degree of
recognition in this country. If, there
fore, the bill should come in with
limitation i'll point of time and amount
Oh the
SILVER PURCHASES,
with a provision for bonds for the
preservation of the parity of gold and
silver and without any reference to the
state bank tax, as is now promised, it
would SECURE support from the repeal
ers on that side of the chamber if neces-
sary for its passage. The Democratic
senators who are holding on the most
stlt1iy against the compromise are the
personal champions of the president,
like Voorhees,, Palmer, Mills, Smith
ana Villas.
The belief is general that the house
Will accept almost any substitute that
the senate will adopt, and majority in
cline 10 the opinion that the president
will sign the bill when it shall reach
him. There are great many members
OF the house who voted for repeal
who desire an opportunity to show
that they are not so antagonistic
TO silver as their former vote would in
dictate. They also want the question
settled. There is also a general belief
that when the bill is once signed there
will be speedy movement i'll congress
looking to recess until the beginning
OF the regular session on the first Mon
day in December. The outlook, there
fore, for the senate this week is that
Senators Jones, PETER and Martin will
conclude speeches already begun; that
Senators Voorhees,, Allen, German and
Stewart MAY also have some concluding
words to utter, and that the compromise
bill will be brought in, and, while it
will possibly be Immediately accepted.
there will lie some more oratory before
1t is put through.
The recess is not possible before the
week after next.
