CHICAGO, Oct. 11.-Ssys a Records
Washington special: A conference
was held last night by German and
other compromisers at which Voorhees,
present. 1t resulted in practical
settlement of terms of compromise as
follows:
Continued purchase of 4,5O0,OOO
ounces of silver each month until,
with the amount now uncoined in the
treasury, the amount shall reach
SSOO,OOO,OOO, and provision giving
the secretary of the treasury authority
to issue S2O0,OOO,OOO worth of three
percent gold bonds, if necessary, to
maintain the gold reserve.
The presidents representatives at
at the conference are said to agree to
these terms of compromise.
IN THE SENATE.
WASHINGTON, Oct. lin the senate
the repeal bill was taken up. Cockerell,
of Missouri, resumed his speech, begun
Monday.
Senators of all shades of opinion now
agree that the night session experiment
is necessary to bring the senate to an
agreement on the financial question.
Opinions differ much as to the probable
length of continuous session and as to
what result it will lead. Silver men are
counting upon its continuing for forty
eight hours, and are making plans ac-
cordingly. They will make an effort at
6 o'clock this afternoon to secure
an adjournment, but they do not expect
to succeed. After the motion for adj
lournment has been voted down some
of the silver advocates will take the
floor and speak until relieved by other
senators of like views. Leaders on the
silver side say so far as they can control
their forces they will insist that the
majority shall maintain a quorum.
1t is evident the repeal men will have
to be continuously present in quite
large numbers to prevent an adjourn
msnt. The majority of the senators
admit that a compromise is the most
probable result. But Senator Voorhees,
and his immediate followers say the
bill will go through as reported. A
careful canvass of the senate show that
il vote should be reached upon'the
bill as it stands, it would be carried by
a vote of forty-eight to thirty-seven, a
majority of eleven. Silver men claim
eight senators in the affirmative list are
deslrious of securing compromise, and
If some measure can be devised upon
which they can agree, the vote will be
reversed.
IN THE HOUSE.
In the house, Hunter, of Illinois,
presented resolution for recess from
Oct. IA to November, 1; referred, to
committee on rules. Hunter said he
wanted to give the members a chance
to attend the Worlds fair.
Buckne, of Wisconsin secured passage
of resolution authorizing the state of
Wisconsin to erect in statury hall a
statute to Pere Marquette.
DENVER, Oct. ia Times special
from Washington says: There is an
other compromise story in circulation
today to the effect that the democratic
senators held caucus
and practically agreed upon q basis of
compromise, which they believe will be
satisfactory to the president.
This alleged compromise provides
for the purchase of 100000 ounces of
silver bullion per month.
This caucus, it is said, included all
Democratic repeal and anti-repeal men,
1t is stated that there is only one
senator on the Democratic eide who
was against this action and he is q
southern silver Democrat.
