Bitter Remarks.

! WASHINGTON, Oct. l9-The session of
! the senate yesterday lasted from 10 a m.
until 5:l5 p. m, when another recess was
taken until 10 O'Clock this morning. The
main object If these recesses, instead of
Regular adjournment, is to cut of the time
for morning business, which may be eX-
tended to two hours.
/ The debate yesterday did not touch the
repeal hill at all, except incidentally. 1t
progressed first on Mr.. Dolph's motion to
amend the Journal of Monday, which, after
a couple of hours, was laid on the table by
vote of 45 to 30, and then on like mo-
ton by Mr.. Teller, because his name did
not appear on the journal, he having been
present at rolcall and not having an

The four principal speeches of the day
were made by Senators Morgan DEEM,
Ala) Teller rep, Colo.) Daniel Dem,
Va) and Mills dem, Tex.). But there
were many interesting and exciting inter
locutury statements made during the de
livery OF these speeches. Mr.. Morgan was
more than usually bitter in his attacks
upon Mr. Hill dem, n. ", whom he
spoke of as an astute politician who would
lily bdCk anu IOIJil line "a weaver = SutltLlti
and again as one of those who rose to the
surface like bubbles on stagnant pool
and exploded, leaving behind only
me phitic odors.
Mr.. Hill took no notice of these attacks
upon him, but afterward got into a col
louuv with Senator Daniel in which he
directed, with much emphasis Che remark
being received with great APPLAUSE, that
if the presiding officer agreed with him,
the bill would pass in spite Of all obstruc-
tons
Prospect of a Settlement.
For the first time since the extra session
of congress began there appears to exist a
prospect that some solution of the repeal
question may be reached, but whether by
compromise or amendment of the rules or
some other method, remains to be seen.
There will be full conference of Demo
cratic senators. although the admiuistra-
tons followers are not disposed to sign
the call for "a caucus. The latter are no.
willing to be coerced into action by iron
clad contracts The administration forces
are aware that the Democrats have a ma
jority of their own party in the senate
against repeal, and are therefore appre-
hensive that they may attempt to force
