There is still scine talk 10 the effect
that some OF the more conservative re-
peaiefs would be willing to aid in prevent
ing unconditional rereal by voting for
some Of the amendments, but a majority
of the free coinage men are Of the opinion
that nothing ca1 b. agreed upon that
would be advantageous to silver, and
many Of them now announce their inten-
ton OF voting only for the free coinage
amendment and of giving no countenance
10 any of the amendments This program
is, Of course, subject TO change, as SO many
other senate programs have changed in the
past few weeks.
sherman Changes His Mind.
The Republicans have abandoned all
idea Of Introducing an amendment as
a party measure Mr.. Sherman b d at one
time thought il would be wise policy on
the part OF the Republicans TO Offer
measure for the settlement OF the question
but he says now that he doubts the ex-
pediency Of interfering in any way with
the pa sing Of the repeal bill as it stands.
He thinks that authority should be given
for issuing bonds, but sees the difficulty OF
getting such u provision through al this
time, and will in all probability not at
tempt it.
II is believed that If the voting on the
amendments can be begun early tomorrow
the final vote can be reached by Saturday
at the latest aud the bill sent to the house
Of Representatives for its action. When
the house shall have acted on the bill, ad-
jcurnmeut until the begin ming of the
regular session on the first Monday in
December will be 10 order. There Is very
little doubt now that this adjournment
will be taken. although the Democratic
managers of the senate have not yet given
the subject sufficient consideration to feel
justified in making an announcement.
They have, however, been Ia conference
with Speaker Crisp of the house, who adj
yises adjournment when the repeal BID
sbal! be disposed o. so general is the de-
sire on the part II senators aud members
20 get away that it would be n+xs to i'm
possible TO hold a quorum of either house
III Washington, even should it be at
tempted. L, was at one time believed that
there would he al effort to pass the bill
for the exten-iou of the Chinese exclusion
act, but that probability has been ayerted
