Washington, Oct. 2S.-The principa
topic of conversation here this morning
is Senator Teller's speech of yesterday
Knots of senators and representative
were seen in all parts of the capital talk
ing of it very earnestly. Prominent sen
ators say it was the- most touching an6
pathetic address ever delivered in the
senate and will have greater effect on the
vote on repeal than any argument vel
made. All refer to Teller as the grand
old man from Colorado.
/ SILVER ooINEax.>
Although no decision to resume thu
coinage of silver dollars from the bullion
purchased under the Sherman act has
been definitely reached, the officials of the
treasury have directed the mint officers at
Philadelphia and San Francisco to be in
readiness to start the work.
WHY IT IS POSTPONED.
Senator Pugh Of Alabama said yesterday
that the silverites do not intend to permit
the passage of the repeat bill till Novem.
Der l, SO that Secretary Carlisle cannot
evade the required amount of silver
purchases for the month.
Senator Blackburn figures that the vote
on the Wilson bill for the repeal of the
purchasing clause of the Sherman act
will not be reached before Tuesday.

had learned that the president immedi-
ately after action is taken by the senate
upon the Wilson bill, will send congress
a special message recommending that at
the regular session u law shall be passed
to recognize silver as a money metal.
1t is believed that there is some foun-
dation for this, as other senators have
given an inkling OF some such action for
political reason, on the part of the presi-
dent. 1t is generally believed.

DISCUSSING THE SHORTAGE.
The cabinet at its meeting yesterday
endeavored to devise some acceptable |
scheme for meeting the deficiency in the
treasury, which now amounts to over
$60,0O0,000. One plan proposed is the
coinage of the silver seignorage now
lying idle in the treasury-as embodied
in the Perkins amendment introduced
yesterday in the senate. Another plan
is the issuance of certificates against this
seinorage. Eastern Republicans and many
prominent eastern Democrats are against
This.
