COMPROMISE.
It Certainly Will be Made
Soon.
FLORENCE HOTEL BURNED
The Ieish Question Believed to be
ShelVed-Bankers'
Congress.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S.-DemocratiC
senators have again put the steering
committee to work upon the silver
problem with the understanding that
the committee is also to make recon-
mendations as to whether democratic
conference shall be called up on tie
subject. The committee is making an
effort to agree upon compromise
measure which the repeal democrats
will accept for the proposed conference
IN case it is called.
Opinions offer as to whether there
will be formal conference, or whether
the compromise will be submitted to
individual democratic members of the
senate for their endorsement.
The preponderance of opinion is
favorable to the conference plan. The
committee has been sitting the greater
part of the day.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 18.-Voorhees said
today ne would make an effort to
continue for the present recess the
system inaugurated last evening. This
plan is to have the senate to sit each
day from 10 to 6. He is of the opinion
this will prove the best plan for turning
out work and getting rid of long
speeches. He expresses the opinion
that the end of long debate is near, and
intimates the present week may close it.
DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS.
Vest is circulating a call for a caucus
of all democratic senator's, to pledge
them to abide by the result, if any. The
silver men sign il readily
but the repeal men are holding off. 1t
is doubtful whether German will issue
a call unless the desire for it seems
pretty general, as it is likely to do more
harm than good.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 49, There will
probably be no more night sessions of
the senate while the repeal bill is
pending. The silver senators clogged
the wheels effectually for about two
hours tonight and would probably
have continued to do so but for an un-
which was brought about
by the entanglement which was in
augurated to check filibustering, on a
promise from some of the leaders of the
repeal side to attempt to arrange mat
ters so as not to make another effort to
secure night sessions.
This agreement while it was not per-
,ected, had the effect of causing the
silver men to cease their calls for a
quorum and of permitting Mr.. PETER to
his remarks without Interrupt
ion from the call bell. If this arrange
nent is completed, as now seems prob
lble, there will be no more night ses-
'ions.

IN THE CHEROKEE COUNTRY.
Tucsonites See the Promised Land
Progressive Cherokees.

Wiley Box and wife have returned
from trip in the Indian Territory anG
the Cherokee country.
The Cherokees, they say, are ambi
tious, and welcome the whites. They
know that is the method of bringing
factories and progress to the country
Another allotment of land, better than
the famous strip, so eagerly seized by
home seekers, and larger, will be made
shortly and with their full sanction
Rather than have surplus land they
would have its value in money.
The Cherokees are progressive and
civlizing rapidly. On the streets they
speak English altogether. The Indian
tongue is not spoken except in private.
On the strip, says Mrs. Box "they
have killing now and then" The
work of building and settling is getting
we'll under way. One boomer out of
every five got quarter section.
The land and property on the strip
is being appraised and the money there
from will be handed over to the
Cherokees. This will amount to about
$3.50 each. Another claim, from the
state of Mississippi, of S14,O00,000 will
be paid in the next several years, it is
SAID.

The Best Telephone Language.

The French language, it appears, is
better adapted to the purpose of the
telephone than the English. 1t is
stated that the large number of sibi-
liant or hiss syllables in English rem
ders it less easy and accurate means
of communication. Some English
words are especially difficult of trans
mission by telephone. The word
soldier" is cited as one of these.
Proper names frequently occur in the

house Of people to see "Ben Bolt"
At 8 o'clock the curtain rose on the
FIRST scene, and thereafter, without
the usual delay attending amateur
performances for the shifting of see,
merry etc, and in a thorough and
pleasing manner was presented the
ensuing parts.
The play was better staged, per
haps, than any yet presented in Alb
bevillc. The scenery was tasty and
beautiful, and as effective as the
dimentions Of the stage permitted.
Each player knew his part well,
and the whole moved on without the
slightest noticeable hitch.
The singing was especially well
executed and was a feature Of the
drama.
We consider however that the
play itself lacked force. With its
personae and the thoronghness of
their interest, we think it should
have been more absorbing Or attac-
