when the mule got away and ran home,
distance of forty miles. Villa tried to
follow, but when he had gone about
half way, he wandered off into the sand
hills, where he threw away his shoes,
and where his tracks were obliterated
by the wind.
The tracks OF two other men were
also found in the same sand hills. They
are supposed to those OF Roos and
Williams.
These add three mora names to the

in sight of the spot where the Breedloves

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9. - Secretary
Carlisle made avisit to the senate wing
of the capitol this afternoon. Coming
at this iuncture when every one,
senators included, is expecting the
unusual to happen, the visit created
mild sensation. He had just come
from close conference with the pres
ident and it was naturally supposed be
had some important message for indi-
yidual senator's or the benefit OF the
body st large. If such was the case he
did not take pains to furnish the pub
lie with the same information. He
spent about two hours time in confer
ence with various of the democratic
senators 10 the marble room and in the
room Of the finance committee, but
did not enter the senate chamber.
Among others with whom he conversed
were Senators Voorhees, and Harris.
A report was soon set in circulation
that he had been sent as the pres
ident's personal and official representa-
tive to arrenge the terms OF an agree
ment with the opposing forces of the
democratic ranks in the senate, and
there were senators ready to name the
terms which he had offered. Inquiry,
however, developed the fact that they
were merely dealing in sumises.
The purposes of the secretary's visit
seems to have been just the opposite to
that attributed to him by the majority.
Senator Venice told representative
of tie Associated Press that Mr.. Car
Isle had gone to the capitol for the
purpose of preventing a compromise
and Senator Voorhees, virtually con-
frmed this statement. After this con-
ference with Mr.. Carlisle he said to the
Associated Press reporter that the ad
minIstration forces had no compromise
to suggest or ask. That they were still
determined to fight on the old lines.
That the contest would continue the
first of next week as it had up to
date and would be devoted to speech
making. That on Wednesday the
night sessions would be begun. That
he had assurance that there would be a
quorum of repeal senators on hand.
That the secretary would remain until
the bill had been disposed of and that
there would be no adjournment until
it had passed.
1t would seem, therefore, that if
there is to be compromise, it cannot
come until after the night session has
expired. 1t is but fair to say that there
are a few of the repeal senators as
sGnguine of the night session or of its
success as is Mr.. Voorhees,. A large
majority of the senators assert that the
bill cannot be passed except in a
modified form and others agree with
Senator Henderson on the assertion
that if no compromise is reached recess
of the senate will be taken until
December ifs necessary, which would
virtually mean the abandonment of the
bill.
A senator who has not SC far identi-
fed himself with either side said the
inevitable result of the night session
would be an agreement upon the COM
promise bill.
REPEAL BILL OUTLOOK.
The silver senators are beginning to
discuss among themselves the ad-
visibility of making an effort to dis
place the repeal bill with the federal
election bill when the latter measure
shall come to the senate from the house,
but they seem to be somewhat divided
upon the question. Some of the sena-
tors ara decidedly opposed to any at
tempt to get the bill up when it first
comes over, for the reason that such a
course might be interpreted as an evil
dence that the resources in direct
to the repeal are exhausted.
When the decision was first read to
report the bill in the house it was sup
posed it would cut big figure In the
senate silver discussion, but many of the
silver senators have from the first been
uncertain as to the wisdom OF trying TO
get the bill up, and it is thought
majority now think it would he unwise
to move a move in that direction.
1t is extremely doubtful whether, if
the effort should be made, motion
for that purpose would secure a larger
vote than would a melton to table the
repeal bill. There are undoubtedly
some southern senators who favor re-
peal who would be placed in some
what embarrassed position by such a
motion, but the best information is to
the effect that they would stand by the
ting the election bill up after the finan-
ci6l bill is disposed of. Ii motion
should be made to take up the election
bill, it Will probably be made by one of
the southern senators who opposes the
financial measure.
Senator Henderson authorizes the
statement that it is his opinion that
the test of physical endurance to be
applied in the shape of night sessions
in the senate will result in
either compromise or the adjourn
ment Of congress.
Although some of the most brilliant
speakers of the house OF both parties
participated in the debate today but
little interest was aroused. Perhaps
the speech which created the deepest
was that delivered by DR..
Everett the Massachutts mugwump.
DR.. Everett came here with high rep
utation as a college professor and a
political reformer and some curiosity
was excited as to the position he would
take on this question. He admitted
tie corruption existing in the south |
and in the great centers Of population,
but maintained that these laws only
and kept open wounds so
deep seated that they were taking the |
best energies of all social and political |
refOrmers.
