"AsHISGToN, OgI So-n Senator Voor-
hsss' calculations do not miscarry, the -
peal bill Will be disposed Of by the senate
between O'Clock and the hour of adjourn
ment today. There will Be- q few more
speeches on the subject during thedAy and
few more amendments offered, and in all
probability they will be voted down, after
which the vote on the main question viii
be taken, the bill viii be passed BY a ma
jority Of 10 or possibly II rotes, and the
long contest will be ended and the pur-
chasing clause Of the Sherman act ex-
plunged from the books so far as il lies in
the power of the senate to do il.
With the silver phase Of the financial
question out OF the way, the senate will be
ready TO either adjourn until the begin
ming OF the regular congressional session
IN December or to take n recess until some
specified time previous to Dec. T.
With the pressure removed, IL is proba-
ble that the senate will today for the first
time for almost two weeks adjourn after
the conclusion Of the days business until
noon the next day, after which the sessions
will run along regularly, in accordance
with the custom of that body, until some
other emergency arises to create q change.
1t is probable that the senate will during
the week dispose of the house bill extend
ing the time in which Chinese laborers
may be allowed to register. The bill will
be reported to the senate by the committee
on foreign relations today, and the suppo-
sltion is that il will be taken up promptly
after the passage Of the repeal bill. as the
administration is understood to be DESTROYS
! Of having the bill become law before ad-
tournament.
Expects the House o Act Promptly.
II the house should lose any time in dis
posing OF the repeal bill the senate has
quite u large calendar upon which it can
draw for working material. The federal
elections bill could be taken up IL desired,
but it will be allowed to go over until the
regular session.
The probabilities are that if after the re-
peal and Chinese bills are out of the way
there should be time for other work, it
would be devoted to the private bills and
other measures Of minor Importance on the
calendar. There will also be an effort to
clear up the executive business. II the
committee on the judiciary succeeds In Sc
curing a quorum today, the nomination OF
Judge HornblOwer to be justice of the su-
preme court will be considered and proba-
bly, reported favorably and the nomination

Senators are counting upon an adjourn
ment or a recess by Thursday. Which IL
shall be will depend wholly upon the wishes
of the committee on ways and means
Prominent members Of the Louise assure
senators that the house will dispose of the
repeal bill in one day after receiving il.
The house will lay aside the bankruptcy
bill this week as soon as the repeal bill
comes back from the senate. The friends
of the former measure have given up all
hope of procuring a vote on il at this ses-
sion. When the repeal bill comes to the
house this evening or Tuesday. if the IN
expected does not happen, Mr.. Wilson viii
be recognized to move concurrence in the
senate amendment The silver men show
no disposition to tilibuster, but il they
should try such tactics rule will be
brought in by the committee on rules that
/ will force An immediate vote.
A few hours may be allowed before the
previous question, calling of all debate
except 20 minutes. Altogether Mr. Bland
and the extreme silver men, and even
some Of the repeal men, would like the
declaratory clause of the VOORHEES, substi
tute stricken out, but they will be outvot-

to be here, and they expect $50 member.
