COMPROMISE ALL OFF.
The Silver Men Win Big Victory
and Refuse to Take the Demo-
cratic Bait.
Washington News Of To-day-A Con
ference and Split-The West
Holds the Floor
YET UNCERTAIN.


Washington, Oct 23.-The senate con-
ference committee was again in session
this morning. Rumor has it that the
president is against any silver compro-
mise. The committee, however, insistthat
they have done tha best possible under
the circumstances and declare that Mr..
Cleveland dare not veto the measure if it
passes congress by almost a solid vote of
his party. They say Voorhees, will also
be forced to accept what the committee,
after mature deliberation, proposes in
order to settle this long disputed ques-
ton.
The conference committee was in ses-
sion three hours and there was feeling
of uncertainty during this time all over
the senate chamber.
CoMPRoMIsE NO GO.
Later-3 p. m.-The compromise pro-
position is declared off Indefinitely.
To-DAY's SENATE.
The senate met at 10 a. m. and resumed
consideration of the silver repeal bill.
Senator Stewart gave notice that he
would offer an amendment providing for
a Pan-American monetary conference to
be held in Washington city within two
months. Also an amendment to adopt
silver coin as legal tender in all countries
to be represented in said conference.
Senator Jones, of Nevada, then resumed
his speech opposing the passage of the
repeal bill.
Senator Jones occupied the floor three
nd fhop IN fofinua uio11o1
to Senator Teller, who spoke against
repeal.
To-DAY's HOUSE.
In the house to-day the public printing
bill passed by a majority vote of $50.
The bill passed providing for the con-
struction of revenue cutter on the lakes
to cost $4,000.
The resolution providing for the dis
posal of Mormon church property at
Salt Lake was returned from the senate
with an amendment requiring distribu-
tion of the money for charitable pur-
poses.
The bankruptcy bill was then taken
up.
WHY COMPROMISE IS OFF.
The Republicans say that they are OPP
posed to the Democratic plan of COM
promise and will vote against it.
The silver Republicans, speaking
through such men as Wolcott and Teller,
say they will not filibuster against any
measure upon which the Democrats agree,
for that would be futile.
They will not, however, vote for the bill.
The Populists- Allen, Kyle and PETER
are unalterably opposed to the agreement
that has been arranged and declare they
will not support it.
There are two features of the COM
promise to which they object; the failure
to provide for bond issue and the coin
age of the seignorage in the treasury.
The coinage of the seignorage would
replenish the treasury to the extent of
$5O,OOO,OOO and tide the administration
over for the next year If the deficit should
not be larger than at present expected.
Mr.. Daniels said there could be no
seignorage. The object of the coinage
Of alleged signorage was, he said, to
make up the deficit. Should the Repub
leans, free silver Dem ocrats and the Pop
nlists unite their opposition to the terms
If the compromise, they could defeat it,
md this is the probable cause of the fail
Ire of compromise negotiations.
THE REAL FIGHT YET COMING.
Senator Jones of Arkansas says that
within four days after any repeal measure
Is passed there will be half hundred
measures introduced. Senators
Who were with the administration for re-
peal had pledged themselves to support
legislation favorable to silver,
md the administration has pledged itself
n the same way. These senators would
20 called upon to redeem these pledges.
Then would ensue debate on the flnan-
,ial question that might continue until
he next election.
