It's the Best offered.
WASHINGTON, D. G., Oct. 10.-In the
senate to-day the debate on the bill to
repeal the purchasing clauses OF the
Sherman act developed no striking fea-
lures. An unusually small attendance
during the entire day was noticeable,
senators apparently husbanding their
strength for the continuous session
which Senator Voorhees, on Saturday
last gave notice he would ask for to.
morrow until vote was reached on the
bill.
Senator Squire, of Washington, pro-
posed another amendment to the silver
bill. Like his other proposition it
strikes out all after the enactiag clause
and proposes an entirely new scheme.
The new proposition is intended to take
the place OF the former proposed by
him. aad Is compromise which em'
braces nearly everything demanded, by
the different sides of the silver ques-
ton. 1t does, however, meet with more
approval from leading senators than
anything that has vet been suggested.
It is understood that Senators Teller,
Allison, Sherman and others have said
that it is the best compromise that has
heeo suggested. Senator Squire intenda
to ask that each senator's proposition be
voted on separately.
The following is the text OF tho new
compromise:
II provides that hereafter any owner

or rehneries located in the United
states, may deposit it at any mint OF

Tho South Wipes tho Federal Election
Laws on tho Statute Books.
WASHINGTON, D. O., Oct. lO.-The
Tucker bill to repeal all existing federal
election laws was passed by the house
this afternoon by vote OF 200 to lQl,
party lines being strictly drawn for
and against. Senator Hill, OF New York,
who is the author OF similar bill in
the senate, was on the floor while the
vote was being taken. Quite jubi-
liant demonstration was made by the
Democrats when the result was an
nounced. The Republicans finding that
the, Democrats had their own quorum
present we're stopped from tilibustering
by the iron.clad order under which the
house was operatingnbeyond demanding
an aye and nay vote on the Burrows
and Lacey amendments.
The Democrats admitted that the bill
was defective in that it failed to repeal
statute 5,52S, which inferenticlly per-
mits troops at the polls, but the modifi-
cation could not be made under the or
der, and the correction will have to be
| made in the senate. Some OF the Re-
publiCans claimed that in defeating the
Lacey amendments the Democrats re-
pealed all laws to prevent bribery and
ballot box stuffing at elections for dele
gates in the territories, but the Demo-
Gratis claimed that the legislatures OF
tho territories had all enacted laws for
the punishment OF offenders against the
purity Of the ballot in the territories,
and Mr.. Tucker called attention to the
fact that section 1878 OF the revised
statutes, providing in terms that after
the first election each territory should
make laws to govern its elections.
Delegate Smith also called attention
to the fact that some OF the territories
like Arizona, operated like most OF the
progressive states 'under the Auatral.

voting on tho Tucker bill was to begin
attracted n full house. The benches on
both sides were filed and tho galleries
were crowded, Some routine business
occupied the morning hour.

At l o'clock the speaker took the
chair The special order being the
Tucker bill, aud the pending amend

Burrows was read. Mr.. Burrows ex-
planned that he would not demand Il
division on his amendment ii the house
would permit the five statutes. His
amendment was read at the clerks desk
that they might get into tho record.

BALTIMORE, MD, Oct. 1O-After TAX
ing 5,Sl2 ballots the first judicial Demo-
cratic convention to-day ended the
deadlock by nominating as chief justice
Henry Page, OF Somerset, and as asso-
clate Henry Lloyd, OF Dorchester. The
convention started to work two months
ago. 1t was made up OF sixteen dele
gates representing four counties. Each
county had a candidate. The counties
paired of, made combinations and every
vote stood to s.
The convention began at Ocean City,
summer resort, and lasted until it be-
came too cold for bathing. They then
moved to Salisbury and from thence to
this place. The political leaders, head
ed by Senator German, are credited
with being instrumental in breaking
the deadlock. Tho number OF ballots
taken breaks all records.

by the resolution shows that from Sep
tember !, 1892, until May, 1898. there
we're no suspensions under the act OF
July 2, 1890, but that they rapidly in
creased from that time until Septem'

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.-Thirty-three
senators have arranged to speak in
the future on the silver purchase repeal
bill and others may decide to take a
hand before the conclusion of the de-
bate. Should this prove true it is
more than probable snow will be flying
before the matter is settled.
Mr.. George of Mississippi has stated
that he expects to speak about two
days. Mr.. Jones of Nevada and Mr..
Daniel of Virginia will each consume
two days, and Messrs. Morgan of
Alabama and Stewart of Nevada
will each speak one day.
Even if a compromise should ulti-
mately be agreed upon the final vote
will not be taken earlier than about
the first week in October.
The silver senators still insist thata
vote cannot be reached at all without
a cloture rule, but under the rules of
the senate there is no provision what
ever for shutting off debate, and it is
not probable such a rule can be
adopted now.
