WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct 29.-If sena.
tor Voorhees, calculations do not mis-.
carry the repeal bill will be disposed OF
by the senate between . o'clock and the
hour Of adjournment tomorrow. There
will be few more speeches on the sub.
iect during the day and few moro
amendments offered and in all proha-
bility voted down, after which the vote
on the main question will be passed by
majority oil ten or possibly eleven
votes, and the long contest will be end
ed and the purchasing clause OF the
Sherman act expunged from the books,
SO far as it lies in the power OF the SEN
ate to do that.
With the silver phase II the fnan-
cial question out OF the way, the senate
will be ready to either adjourn until the
beginning OF the regular congressional
session in December or to take recess
until some specified time previous to
the 4th OF December With the pres
sure removed it is probable that the
senate will tomorrow, for the first time
for almost two weeks, adjourn alter the
conclusion OF the days business until
noon the next day, after which the ses-
sions will run along regularly.
In accordance with the custom oil
that body, until some other emergency
arises to create a change, 1t is probable
that the senate will, during the week.
dispose of tho house bill extending the
time in which Chinese laborers DC a.
lowed to register. The bill will be re-
ported to the senate. by its committee
on foreign relations, tomorrow, ana
the supposition is that it will be taken
up promptly after the passage OF the
repeal bill, as the administration is
understood to be dRsirous OF having the
bill become a law before adjournment.
Ii the house should lose any time IN
disposing Of the repeal bill, the senate
has quite large calendar upon which
it can draw for working material. The
federal election bill could be taken up
ii desired, but it will be allowed to go
over until the regular session. The
probabilities are that if, alter tho repeal
and Chinese bills are out OF the way,
there should be time for other work 1t
will be devoted to the private bills and
other measures OF minor Importance on
the calendar. There will also be an
effort to clear up the executive busl'
ness. If the committee on the judiciary
succeeds in securing quorum to.mor-
row the nomination OF Judge Horn
blower to be justice OF the supreme
court will he considered and probably
reported favorably, and the nomination
confirmed by the senate later III the
week.
Senators are counting upon an ad-
iournment or a recess by Thursday.
Which it shall be will depend wholly
upon the wishes OF the committee on
ways and means. Prominent members
of the house assure senators that the
house will dispose of the repeal bill In
one day after receiving it.
HOUSE FORECAST.
The house will lay aside the bank.
ruptcy bill this week as soon as tho re-
peal bill comes back from the senate.
The friends OF the former measure have
given up all hopes Of securing vote on
Il at this session. When the repeal bill
comes to the house tomorrow evening
or Tuesday, if the unexpected does not
happen, Mr.. Wilson will be recognized
to move concurrence IN tie senate
amendment. The silver men show no
disposition to tlibus'er, but il they
should try such tactics rule will be
brought in by the committee on rules
that will force an immediate vote. A
few hourl may be allowed before the
previous question, calling off oil debate
except forty minutes, is demanded. Al
together Mr.. Bland and the extreme sill
yer men, and indeed even some OF the
repeal men, would like the declaratory
clause OF the Voorhees, substitute
stricken out; they will be outvoted. The
repeal men have been telegraphed to be
here and they expect 260 members pres
ent when the bill comes to the house.
