The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1893-10-25

uHe House. Bub no taculOn DY Jne con-
ference was considered advisable at this
time, and it adjourned to meet at the call
of the chairman.
There is disposition among the repeal
ers in the House to concur with the
amendment to the Wilson bill if it comes
over in the shape that Is now known as
the Voorhees, bill. Recognized leaders of
repeal say there is nothing in the Voor-
hees bill that differs from the Wilson bill
except the declaration at the end, and If
that is satisfactory to the Senate they
are willing to adopt it.
ATTITUDE OF THE REPUBLICANS.
The repeal republicans say that they
are willing to support in the House any
bill which the repeal republicans of the
Senate iudOrse. There is a disposition in
the House to not delay the passage of the
bill by asking for a conference or disagree
ing with the Voorhees, bill. Further than
this, the desire of so many to get away as
soon as possible will have a tendency TO
encourage concurrence in the bill. The
Voorhees, bill can be taken up from the
speakers table and acted upon at once.
Mr.. Wilson would naturally be recog-
nized to move concurrence in it. He
could move the previous question and
then some arrangement might be made
for debate, but not very much time would
be allowed in the House, for members on
both sides of the question realize that
there has been ample debate The silver
men also realize that any fight by them
would mean defeat in the end and proOa-
bly, will content themselves with voting
against the bill after short debate.
ADJOURNMENT THE NEXT ISSUE.
After the silver bill is out of the way,
then comes up the matter Of ofadjOurnment,
or as some prefer a recess. Adjourn
ment promises to be more popular. The
members of the ways and means com
mittee have control largely of this mat
ter and the majority seem to prefer an
adjournment to a recess. 1t is not be-
lieved that quorum can be retained af-
ter the repeal bill passes and some re-
pealers even now are anxious about a
quorum when the bill comes over from
the Senate. The difference of
opinion over recess or an
adjournment involves the question of
mileage. The members have already re-
ceived theirmileage for the extra session,
and they think if an adjournment should
be taken they would be again entitled to
mileage for the regular session, while
recess and a meeting of this session few
days before the regular session would
prevent mileage being allowed. Others
think it would make no difference, and
the mileage for both sessions must be al
lowed. 1t is one of the influences that is
at work to hurry up an adjournment.
Mr.. Oates, who is in charge of the
bankruptcy bill, says that he is willing
that congress should adjourn, as the bill
will come up the first thing at the regular
session.
Chairman Wilson, of the ways and
means committee, said adjournmentou ought
to follow, and that the committee would
be glad if such action is taken, as they
could work to a better advantage. There
seems to be q general desire among the
members of the House to get away, and
the news that the Senate would vote
seemed to be a relief, even to those who
are pronounced silver men.
SENATORS TALK ON THE OUTCOME.
Several members of the cabinet were
seen tonight by reporter of the Asso-
ciated Press in regard to the silver stu
alton, but refused to discuss the matter
saying that they preferred not to be
quoted. Several senators on both sides
were also interviewed and expressed
themselves as follows:
Senator Palmer, dem, of Illinois-A
vote will probably be reached on the re-
peal bill this week, at any rate not later
than next week. A vote will be taken as
soon as the speeches which are now in
progress are concluded. Senators Teller,
Stewart and Jones have speeches on hand
WHICH were COilultutGu SUulS Weeks dgO,
aud think that when the sena tors have
finished, no further attempt will be made
on the part of the opponents of repeal to
tilibuster. l think vote will be had not
later than next week.
Senator Platt, of Connecticut.-A vote
will probably be reached this week or
next. am not thoroughly posted on the
present situation in the Senate, as it has
been necessary for me to absent myself
4 III
count of The serious illness OF Mrs. Plat6.
Senator Cockrell, dem. of Missouri
1t is impossible to tell. There are amend
ments which will be proposed, the dis
cussion of which will consume consider
able time. There is no doubt in my mind
however, that vote Will be reached next
week.
THE END NEAR.
Mr.. Harris, dem, of Tennessee, the
leading silver democrat on the finance
committee am all at sea, but believe
the end is near. ] will not be party to
obstructive tactics. L am anxious for
vote on the amendments, and would take
it to-day if possible. Then when they are
out of the way, want to see a vote
taken on the bill itself as soon as possible.
Mr.. Aldrich, rep. of Rhode Island.-It
looks as if the Senate would come TO
vote within a very short time. The re-
publiCans will be found where they stood
at the outset, ready and willing to vote
for the bill as reported to the Senate by
Mr.. voorhees,.
Mr.. Dubois, rep. of Iowa. one of
the leaders against repeal.-The silver
democrats having seen ut to abandon the
fight, I hardly think the silver republi-
cars will feel Justified in resortlng TO OBJ
structive methods. They will probably
insist that the debate shall be continued
until all have spoken who 50 DESIRE and
also that there shall be a full debate on
the various amendments.
NO HOPE FOR SILVER.
x-Congressman Bartine, of Nevada,
has been in Washington the entire fight.
He has, 10 an extent, represented the in
terest of the west and has made
the best fight he could in his
position against the unconditional
repeal. Speaking of the silver situation
tonight he said there was now no hope
for silver While there was a thread
which we could hold to, we had hopes
that there might at some time be a con-
gress or a President and a congress that
would do something for silver I do not
see how that is possible, il will be a long
time before We have congress that
is as favorable as when the Bland law
was passed. expect TO see silver 20 10
40 cents an ounce. There is only one thing
TO prevent il, and that is the shutting
down Of all the big silver mines. That
result will follow iu my state At the
same time ] think unconditional repeal
fs much better than the com
