Each Speak for Two Days on the RE-
peal Question, While Thirty Others
Are Booked for Speeches.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE repeal bill
will continue to be the absorbing topic of
interest before congress this week Today
in the senate Mr. Teller may conclude his
speech begun on Saturday last Notice Of
speeches to come have already been given
sufficient to fill in the greater part of the
week, and others are known to be in
course Of preparation, so that in the alb
sence Of an agreement of some kind there
is no reason to believe that vote on the
bill can be reached this week.
Although he has not fixed definitely
upon the date of delivery Of his speech,
Mr. Mills, of Texas, may follow Mr.. Teller
in the debate 1t is the current report
that he will advocate unconditional repeal,
and as the senator comes from a strong
silver state, and must thereby antaRonize
a number of his constituents, his utter
ances will doubtless be listened to with
great interest.
Senator Mitchell, of Oregon, is down for
speech tomorrow and may be expected
to deliver a strong argument from free
coinage standpoint. Senator Shoup, of
Idaho, will address the senate Wednesday
in the same line, and Mr.. Hausbrough, of
North Dakota, and Mr.. White, of Cali
forna, will follow on the same day, if time
permits, also with free silver speeches On
Thursday Senator Daniel, of Virginia, will
have the floor for the beginning of his
speech, presumably for conditional repeal,
and this is as far as the program In the
senate has been fixed
Speculation is rife as to the length of
the debate now progressing Thirty-three
senators are said to have arranged to
speak on the subject, beside which ten or
dozen more may address the senate be-
fore the close of the debate. Mr.. George,
of Mississippi, has stated that he expects
| to speak about two days. Mr.. Jones, of
/ Nevada, and Mr.. Daniel, of Virginia, will
each consume about two days, and Messrs.
! Morgan, of Alabama, and Stewart, of Ne
vada, will each speak one day. Even if a
compromise shall ultimately be agreed
upon, the final vote will not be taken
earlier than about the first week in Octo-
Der. Some senators are of opinion that
the debate will continue until the middle
of October.
In the present unsettled condition of af
fairs it is impossible to foretell what will
ne lut program VI llt uDAlot VI IGpItsGhltt
tives for a week ahead. The fact is nC
course of action has been laid out by the
leaders, and they are satisfied to let eact
session of the body take care of itself. Thi'
state of things is likely to continue unit
either the senate acts upon the repeal bill
pending before it or the time comes wher
the committees on appropriations anC
ways and means have some proposed legis
lation formulated for the consideration 0
the house. The bill introduced on SatuT
day by Mr.. Everett, of Massachusetts, 2,
modify the Geary law by extending tn
time for registration from May 8, 1893 T.
Sept. /, 1894 and in various other ways al
leviating the severity of the provisions o
6lat measure may come up this week
This bill is understood to be an admins
tration measure, and early action is SAT-
to be desired. The committee on foreigl
affairs, to which it has been referred, doe
not meet until Thursday, so that unless
special meeting is called a report upon
cannot he looked for until the latter en
of the week
