REPEALERs IN TUE MAJORITY.

How Senators Would Cast Their Votes
on the Purchasing Clause.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-Senators of all
shades of opinion now agree that the
night session experiment is necessary to
bring the Senate TO an agreement on the
financial question. Opinions differ much
as to the probable length of continuous
session, as to what result 1t will lead.
The silver men are counting upon con-
tinuing for forty-eight hours, and are
making plans accordingly. They will
make an effort at O'Clock tomorrow
afternoon to secure an adjournment, but
do not expect to succeed. After the ad-
journment motion is voted down some
one of the silver advocates will take the
floor and speak until relieved by some
other Senator of like views. Leaders on
the silver side say as far as they can con-
troll their forces they shall insist that the
majority shall maintain quorum.
1t is evident the repeal men will have
to continuously be present in quite large
numbers to prevent an adjournment. A
majority of Senators admit that COM
promise is the most probable result of the
night session experiment, but Senator
Voorhees, and his immediate followers
say the bill will go through as reported.
A careful canvass of the Senate shows
that if a vote should be reached upon the
bill as it stands it would carry by a ma
jority of eleven, and the vote would be as
follows, supposing all the Senators to be
present:
Ayes-Aldrich, Allison, Price, Caffrey,
Camden, Carey, Chandler, Cullom, Davis,
Dixon, Dolph, Faulkner, Frye, Gallinger,

FRUITS FOR THE EAST.

Shipments This Month Keeping Up
With Those Of September.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 10.-William
Sproul, of the Southern Pacific Freight
Department, reports that the traffic in
green fruit to Chicago and New York is
keeping up equal to the shipments of last
month, and greater than that of the pre-
vious season. Dried fruits are beginning
to go East in greater quantities than ever
known before. The development of the
dried fruit interest is looked on with
great favor by the railroad companies, as
requirements for speed are not impera-
tive, and refrigerator cars not being
needed, the cost of transportion may be
reduced to a minimum. Thoughtful
fruit-growers have long asserted that SELL
ing dried fruit is the true solution of the
orchard problem of California. Green
fruit, on account of its perishable con-
dition, must naturally be limited to the
scope of its marketing, whereas the
desiccated product may be distributed
over much wider area, until there is de-
mand for its consumption. This year
Santa Clara Valley will ship 1.500 car
loads Of dried prunes and great many
carloads of other dried fruits.

the third race will be sailed tomorrow.

more severely.
The Valkyrie never turned ropeyarn

signer Watson, Captain Crantield and
Sailmaker Ralsy are all praying for a
