WAsHINeroN, D. c., October Is
Yesterday al she talk here pointed to
the speedy adoption Of a compromise
measure in the Senate, an end Of the
long struggle and probably a recess.
To-day the prevailing belief is that ei-
forts for a compromise have utterly
broken down, unconditional repeal is
the only thing that can unite enough
,es TO carry, and that the fight TO get
5ote may occupy the time Of the Sen
ate for a month vet. Up TO late yester-
dav afternoon Senators who have been
active in trying TO arrange compro-
mise were frm in the belief that they
would be successful, so favorable was
the outlook. They felt more confident
than ever before, and assured their
friends that the matter would be settled
on Monday or Tuesday when the compro-
mise scheme would come up In the Sen
ate and be adopted, but It seems these
predictions had been based on q belief
that the Republicans could be relied on
70 accept moderate aud safe compro-
mise which, while providing for further
purchases Of silver at the same time
guarded the treasury against danger by
allowing the issue Of short term low in
tersst bearing bonds with which tOIn-
crease the gold reserve. When the Re-
pubIicans were sounded as to their at
titude, however, they declined positive
IL to bind themselves 70 anything fur
ther than TO vote for unconditional re-
peal Any compromise, they said the
Democrats must arrange among them
selves and be entirely responsible for.
This discovery Of the
ATTITUDE OF THE REPUBLICANS
seems 20 have had the effect Of cOnvinC-
ing most Of the advocates Of cOmpro-
mise that their case was hopeless.
It was already known that several
Southern Democratic silver Senators
aud the four Democratic-POpGlist Sena-
tors would not accept aHy compromise
which 10 would be reasonable so ask the
administration 20 approve, 10 was, there
fore seen that the task Of forcing
through the Wilson Voorhees, bill for
unconditional reDeal was a more hope
full one than that OF uniting enough
Senators on any compromise which
would mOlify the ObStructionists and
get enough votes to carry. In this situ-
alton OF affairs most OF the friends Of
compromise were forced 90 admit that
the only course left was % continue the
fight for unconditional repeal without
further thought OF compromise, this
now appears 70 be what will be done, al
though a few cOmpromiSers will cen
tlnue their Efforts ts5s week.
While the Republican Senators say
they are for unc0nditiOnal repeal and
will be obliged 20 vote for iJ when a
vote can be had, what they would Ike
70 see would be a failure to accomplish
any financial legislation at all; then
they would 60 before the country az the
next election charging that the Demo-
Gratis. although they had q majority 10
both houses OF CONGRESS, were incapa-
Die OF controlling that majority or Civ
ing the country the legislation 10
demanded; they would accuse the Dem
ocrats Of incapability 70 administer the
government, and appeal 70 the great
business interests OF the country 20 re-
turn them 20 power.
IL is believed that it was with the
hope of 50 influencing matters as 20
maze aGy action on the Sherman law
impossible that Senators Sherman aud
QUAY and other Republican leaders have
declared in the last week that uucOndi-
tloual repeal was dead, but the Demo-
cratic repeaiers, backed up by the Ad-
ministration, are now more determined
than ever and will make q straight and
steady dght for unconditional repeal
fo- the next month, if necessary.
The outlook therefore for the Senate
this week is that Senators Jones,
Teller, PETER aud Martir will conclude
speeches already begun, that Senators
voorhees,, Allen. Morgan and Stewart
NAV also have soma concluding words
10 utter, that the compromise bill viii
be brought In and thEt, while it will
probably be faslly accepted, there will
be some more OratOry before 10 Is put
through.
The recess is not probable before
week aft. next.
IN TIE HOUSE.
Several important matters figure in
tbe House horoscope for the coming
week. The McCrearY bill 70 extend the
provisions Of she Gcary act for six
months will go to q vote tomorrow
afternoon az 3 o'clock aud will undOubt-
edly pass by q large majority despite
tbe Opposition o. the Pacific coast mem
hers. IL Is hardly probably that either
of the three amendments offered by
Mr.. Geary will carry, although there is
a possibility that the one, requiring
pbotographiC Identification, and posi-
bly the one defining a Chinese mer-
chant may secure the support Of
majority. The McCreary bin will be
followed by the Cox bin 20 prevent bank
directors or officials from borrowing of
tbe institution with which they are
connected. This till. too, seems 60
/, have the sentiment OF the House be-
bs7d it, but several notifications may
be suggested 70 the measure In
its present form. As soon
As this oill is disposed OF a special order
bin will be brought 10 for the consider
alton Of the bankruptcy bill. The
committee on rules has not yet decided
how much time viii be allotted 20 the
consideration OF this biz.

Ate this week and come to tho House
