To Be Made Before a Vote Is Taken
on the Repeal Bill.
THERE is FEAR OF A REACTION.
The Next Turn Of the Senate Kaleidoscope
10 Watched for With Exceeding In
terest-siiver Men Say They Have Not
Used All Their Ammunition.


Of the senate Kaleidoscope is watched for
with exceeding interest. The changes in
the situation have been so rapid and sur
prisis9 that any and every kind Of develop
ment Is among the unexpected things
which may happen. The suddenness of
yesterdays collapse, II is thought this
morning, may be followed by some kind
of reaction, though what shape this back
movement will take seems to be undeter-
mined. In all calculations to be made
the fact that there il still q certain
amount of speechmaking to be undergone
Is not overlooked. Unless Senator Jones,
of Nevada, and the other silver men who
have uncompleted speeches, ready pre-
pared to deliver, voluntarily shorten
sheir efforts or ask leave to print, which
lhey are not likely to do, vote upon the
pending bill and amendments is still some
distance ahead.
Iistlcssness in the Senate.
The calm that followed the break q
yesterday was apparent in the senate to-
day, for that body began its work in
listless fashion, and there was no effort to
ascertain whether quorum was present
or not. The silver men have settled down
TO the inevitable that confronts them, re-
peating the assertions made yester-
day that they will throw no obstacle in
the way of vote. Silver men say, though.
that this vote which will result in the un-
conditional repeal Of the purchasing clause
of the Sherman act, will not be the final
gun In the long fight that has been made
for silver They assert with more or less
Of emphasis that before this congress has
adjourned there will be under consideration
various measures looking to a revision of
the financial system of the United States
term its proper place as q money OF the
country.
Silver Speeches Yet to Come.
The programme of the repealers from
this time on will be to wait for the silver
men who have speeches under way to end
them, and ample time will be given for
thst purpose. Senator Jones has already
said that he expects to finish his with one
more installment, and Senator Teller is
ready at any time to conclude his remarks
Mr.. Stewart, who is reported to have n
half dozen speeches in reserve, has one
that he particularly desires to deliver, and
It may be that he will have the opportun-
ity before the final vote Is taken. Senator
Hill said this morning that he thought it
likely vote may be had on one or more OF
the amendments tomorrow, but he didn't
think the main proposition would receive
the attention of the senate before Monday.
Mr.. Mcpherson was inclined to think the
vote ON the Voorhees, bill would come this
week, and this view OF the situation is also
shared by Mr.. voorhees,, who is inclined to
think that the amendments will be before
the senate by Friday.
Thanks to Foreigners.
The house joint resolution rendering ac-
acknowledgement to foreign governments
for cooperation in the Chicago exposition
was taken up and passed-amended in ac-
cordance with Mr.. Hoar's suggestion, so
that the president is requested to COM
municate to leach" OF the foreign govern
ments the Acknowledgements of congress.
NJ Interference by sherman.
The Republicans have abandoned all
idea of introducing an amendment rs
n party measure. Mr.. Sherman hid at one
time thought it would be wise policy on
the part OF the Republicans TO offer a
measure for the settlement of the question
but he says now that he doubts the ex
pediency Of interfering in any way with
the pa sing Of the repeal bill as IL stands.
He thinks that authority should be given
for issuing bonds, but sees the difficulty OF
getting such provision through at this
time, and will in all probability not at
tempt IL.
1t is believed that IL the voting on the
amendments can lie begun early tomorrow
the fnal vote can be reached by Saturday
at the latest and the bill sent to the house
of representatives for its action. When
the house shall have acted on the bill, adj
jcurnmeut until the beginning OF the
regular session on the first Monday I'm
December will be In order. There Is very
little doubt now that this adjournment
will be- akea,-although the Democratic
managers OF the senate have not yet given
the subject sufficient consideration 10 feel
Justified in making an announcement
They have, however, been In conference
with Speaker Crisp Of the house, who adj
yIses adjournment when the repesl bill
shall be disposed Of SO general is the de.
sire on the part Of senators and members
to get away that IL would be next to inn
possible TO hold q quorum Of either house
