When a reporter of the New York Sun
found himself in Cheyenne the other
day the first places he looked for were
the slddle-makers' shops. He was
surprised to find only one snowy, first

there being a crowd in front of it there
was no sign of more business than was
going at the druggists near by, OF the
S~tltiOner's over the way. In II way

Washington, Oct. 19.-In the senate
MIR. Hill asked Mr.. Butler to point
out how a vote could be reached on
the silver bin.
Mr., Butler replied that the majority
should make some concession in order
to get it through, and if that was not
done the bill ought not to pass.
\ lengthy discussion ensued between
Messrs. Hill, Palmer and Butler as to
the rights OF the majority. The gal
lcries a|pplauded indiscretely and the
vice president threatened to have them
cleared. Mr.. Butler asked Mr.. Hill
whether he would be bound by rules
in a proposition to amend.
Il insist that any restriction in the
rules whereby the majority is deprived
OF power. aul Of making amendments
80 the rules. is not binding upon the
senate said Mr.. Hill.
Mr.. Butter made an appeal for Il
compromise, and Mr.. Palmer was about
to address the senate when Mr.. Teller
withdrew his motion to amend the
journal, thus disposing of the question
pending before the senate.
The journal was approved, and the
repeal bin was then taken up Tor the
first time since Monday.
