on Mr.. Hill. Mr.. Morgan spoke for two hours.

which had been agreed to by Mr.. Geary, had
been torn off. A hot discussion followed be-

dages, and, after brief practice in the privacy
of their own households, sally forth new-made
men, as it were. OF course the Senate of the
United States at all times holds on its rolls the
names of distinguished men who, for one reason
or another. usually wounds received in line of
action during the civil war. have now but one
leg. There are three there at present. and two
of them are adopts in managing their artificial
assisters in locomotion. Comrade Henderson,
the Dubuque veteran manages so well that
people form his acquaintance and see him
around fer weeks before they know that he is
not all flesh and bones. Butler, of South
Carolina, carries cane, and moves with some
deliberation, but there is little or no stiffness
in his gait. Notwithstanding the success of
his associates similarly affected, Senator Berry,
of Arkansas, cannot be persuaded to try
patent leg. He still clings to his crutches, not
withstandng that they have failed him more
than once and sent him headlong down the
Capitol stairs.

NO COMPROMISE,
The Administration Stands Firm for Uncon-
ditionaI Repeal.

The Administration Stands Firm for Uncon-
ditionaI Repeal.
After all the trouble taken by the steering
committee on the Democratic side of the Sem
ate to prepare and submit for signature their
compromise measure, and after a success in
securing signatures that significant
enough TO have warranted the prediction of q
speedy settlement of the silver question, the
President and the Secretary of the Treasury
stated emphatcally that they would have
nothing 10 do with it, that unconditional re-
peal was the word, and unconditional repeal it
must be, Democratic differences to the contrary
notwithstanding.
Senators Lindsay. Palmer, Smith, of New
Jersey; Gordon. Gray, White, and Camden,
known as warm friends of the Administration,
refused 10 be party to the compromise when
they were informed that it did not meet with
the wishes of the President. 1t seems that
these gentlemen signed the compromise paper
under a misapprehension. They say that they
were led to believe when they attached their
signatures to the document that the plan met
with the full approval of the President and the
Secretary of the Treasury
The Administration stands day where it
has stood all along, the line of the Presidents
mcssarc calling Congress together, in favor of
the unconditional repeal of the Sherman act.
The Senate stampeded Monday by
the authoritative statement coming from an
official. not member of the Cabinet to the
effect above stated. 1t threw the whole DEM
ocratc side in futter and those who were
sure on Saturday that they were on the verge
of the adoption of a conservative financial
measure found themselves on uncertain ground.
1t was learned later in the day that the Secre-
tary himself penned the statement and sent it
by the First Assistant Postmaster-General to
the offices of the press associations So the Demo-
Gratis abandoned their scheme of compromise
party measure. and the silver Senators reor-
ganized their lines, this time with the assist
ance of number of Democrats. The fight is
on more bitter than ever, but the repealers de-
clare that it is very near the end that less than
a fortnight at the most will see them triumph
ant.

SATURDAY, OCT. 81.

In the Senate, as soon as quorum of Sem
ators was obtained, which was at 1920 a. NJ,
the silver purchase repeal bill was taken up,
and Mr.. PETER continued the speech in Oppo-
sition to it which he began last week. and of
which to-day's installment was the fifth. The
closure rule was not taken up. because (this
being still the legislative day of Tuesday Iast)
there was no morning hour. II there had
been a morning hour the resolution would
have been lin the regular order of business)
laid before the Senate. It might have been
taken up, also. on motion; but no such motion
was made.
Mr.. PETER having yielded the floor tempo
rarily, the House joint resolution for the
restoration of the personal property of the
Mormon Church in Utah (now in the hands OF
a receiver-about $500, 000 in bonds) to the
church for charitable uses was reported back
from the Judiciary Committee by Mr.. Teller
with an amendment.
Mr.. PETER resumed the floor and went on
with his speech. He closed his speech at LOO.
Mr.. Jones (Ney, b. proceeded to address the
Senate in continuation of the speech begun by
him last week, this being the third INSTALL
ment of it.

Mr. Sherman's was the speech of the day.
Mr.. Sherman spoke, as he himself said neither
in repoach nor anger. 1t was the appealing
tones that gave his speech its power-its con-
vincng earnestness, its lack of rancor, its sober
truth that gave it weight. He predicted that
the rules would have to be changed, since they
had been made the instrument of revolution

obstruction in the Senate, never before the force
Dill had he known OF measure which failed,
after due deliberaton, to come to q vote. Tho
Republicans had remained steadfast TO the
President, although under no obligation to
him. and now the time had come when the
Democrats must take the responsibility.
They say that they cannot agree. They
must agree" thundered Mr.. Sherman, drawing
himself to his full hight and pointing his quiv
ering finger to the Democratic side, cor else
surrender their political poweri"
Then Mr. Sherman pointed out other needed
legislation, waiting on the disposal of the silver
bill, and concluded:
We must decide this silver question one way
or the other. If you, looking the Democrats in
the face, cannot do it, then retire from the
Senate Chamber and we will fix it on this side,
and do the best we can with our silver friends

duty, and therefore. beg of You. not in re-
proach or anger, to perform it. You have the
supreme honor of being able to settle this ques-
ton now, and you ought to do it,"
Without disposiug of the question under dis
cussion, the Senate took a recess until 10 O'Clock
tomorrow.
