WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-No one would
have been surprised if the great silver fight
had killed Il number of senator's. The
strain. both physical and mental, was ire
mendous and long continued. Not only
the night sessions coming after the day SEES
sions, but the whole progress of the fight
for two or three weeks has been full of pres.
sure and Of demands upon the strength OF
those most actively concerned. Then came
OH the long. tedious sittings and the effort
Of certain senators; friendly to the silver
side to consume time by speeches of unex-
ampled length.
There was Mr.. Allen of Nebraska, who
accomplished the remarkable feat of talk
ing for II hours. During l2 of these hours
he was upon his feet addressing the senate.
The remaining two hours were consumed
by the remarks of other senators or by roll
calls in the effort to secure q quorum. Dur
ing the whole IA hours Mr.. Allen never left
his seat or retired from the senate chamber
even for II moment. How he was able to
do this passed the comprehension of even
the most experienced senators and observ-
erS.
Terrible Ordeal.
Mr.. Allen is nm athletic built man, tall,
straight and sinewy. He has II clean shaven
and clean cut face, the jaw of courage and
persistency, and physical endurance high
above the average. The remarkable thing
about his speech was that his voice appear
ed to improve in clearness and quality the
longer he talked. During the ordeal he
drank nothing but coffee and not much of
that, only pausing occasionally to take Il
sip. Mr.. Allen closed his remarkable speech
apparently stronger than when he started.
But it was only in appearance. Theexcite-
ment of the occasion, the frequent inter-
ruptions of senator's, the consciousness that
he was making a remarkable record, his
earnestness in the cause in which be was
engaged, all tended to buoy up his spirits
and to remove his thoughts from his physic-
al or mental fatigue.
Then came the reaction. For "a hours
MI. Allen did not make his appearance in
the senate chamber, and l hear his friends
and family were ut first exceedingly anx-
ious over his condition. When he left the
senate, he found it impossible for a long
time to get to sleep, and finally opiates had
to be administered to him in order to in
duce restful slumber. The mans magnif-
cent physique and great vitality gave him
numerous recuperative powers, and in "a
hours he was back in his seat, pale and
nervous, but still ready for battle.
Many senator's Overcstimated their
strength in this memorable struggle. They
believed they could endure more than was
found possible when the test came. a
number of senator's who staid up two
nights in succession in the oppressive at
