Silver Champions Will Take Up
the Fight on Now Grounds
Mr.. Hill Doesn't Expect the Main
Vote Until Monday.
Psfttr's Amendment ID the First
to Be Disposed OF.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 25.-The calm
that followed the break Of yesterday
was apparent in the Senate to-day, for
that body began its work in a ~listless
fashion. and there was no effort to as
certain whether a quorum was present
or not.
The silver men have settled down to the
inevitable that confronts them. repeating
the assertions made by them yesterday
that they will throw no obstacle I'm the
way Of n vote.
They say. though. that this vote,
which will resul. in the unconditional
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 en-
phasis that before this Congress has ad-
tourned there will be under considera-
ton various measures looking to n re-
vision of the financial system of the
United States and the restoration of sill
yer to they term It's proper place
as a money Of the country.
The programme OF the repealers from
this time on vii be to walt for the sill
YER men who have speeches under way
to end them. and ample time will be
given for that purpose. Senator Jones
has already said that he expects to
fnish HIS with one more instalment, and
Senator Teller is ready at any time to
conclude his remarks.
Mr.. Stewart; who Is repor' ID to have q
h~alf-dozen speeches In reserve, has one
that he particularly desires to deliver
and II may be hat he will have the Cd.
~portunity before the final vote Is taken
Senator Hill said this morning that h.
thought 1t likely a vote would be hat
on one or more OF the amendments to
morrow, but he did not think the mali
proposition would receive the attention
Of tbs Senate before Monday.
MI tAePherson was inclined to thinl
the vcts on the Voorhees, bill woul,
come this week. and this view of tn.
situation Is shared by Mr.. Voorhees,
who ID inclined to think that the amend
ments win be before the Senate by Fri.
day.
When the pending. questions finalI,
come UP for action. the irst amendmen,
to be voted on is Mr.. PETERS. This
was ohered Oct. II. and Ia az follows
That any owner of gold bullion or silver bullion
In condition ct for coinage. and OF tho coir
value OF $50 or more. may deliver that same al
any mint to the proper officers thereof. and II
shall be formed into coins for the benefit OF tn,
d~epcsitor In the manner provided by the &C,
Of Congress- approved Jan. Is. 1887, and In al
respects according to the provisions Of sale
act. all Of which provisions, so far as the sam,
are or may be applicable hereto. are hereby re-
vived and re-enacted. except that the Inscription,
and devices Of coins Of like denominations nov
current shall be placed on the coins authorized
by this act. and double eagles may be coinet
A provided by the act Of Feb. u. 1873.
This amendment is proposed as az
addition to the Voorhees, bill, to follow
after the provision repeating the pur
chasing clause of the Sherman act. I
Is supposed that 1t will call out the full
voting strength Of the fre~e-coinage ad
vocates.
When this amendment has been dis
posed of. there are several more to fol
low. Of which notice has been given II
addition to the fourteen amendment,
specified and described In these de
spatcheS some days ago.
