WASHINGTON CRY, Oct. Tn the SEN
ate. after the transaction of routine busi-
ness and several resolutions were referred
to the proper committees, the repeal bill
was taken up. Voorhees, was recognized,
and said:
"Mr. President, / desire to state this
morning, in the hearing of the senate and
of the country, that on Wednesday next,
after the meeting of the senate, shall ask
that il continue in session until vote is
taken upon the pending measure. and
shall ask and expect the senators TO main-
tain q quorum for the transaction of busi-
ness until the end of this protracted
struggle is reached"
Roach Dem. of North Dakota then ad-
dressed the senate in favor of repeal, but
said he should ask in connection with il
some legislation recognizing silver as
legal tender money and for its continued
coinage.
Allen (Pop.) of Nebraska then obtained
the floor, hardly half dozen senators
being present. Allen made long argu-
ment in favor of the free coinage of silver.
taking the position that the Iemonetiza-
ton of silver would result in increment of
value and restore value which had been
deprecated by legislation.
White asked how, if universal legislation
had deprecated the value OF silver, its
value could be restored by the legislation
of this country alone.
Allen did not admit that there had been
depreciation of silver in comprehensive
and broad sense. Instead there was merely
a disparity between coined gold and silver
bullion. At O'Clock, without concluding
his speech. Alien yielded and the senate

Carlisle made VISIT 70 the senate wing of
the capitol this afternoon. The visit cre-
ated q mild sensation, as the secretary had
just come from . conference With the
president, and it was supposed he had
some important message He spent two
hours time in conference with various
Democratic senators. among others Voor-
hees and Harris A report was soon in
circulation that he was sent as the presi-
dents representative to arrange terms of
agreement with the opposing forces OF the
Democratic ranks in the senate, and there
were senators ready TO name the terms
which he offered. Inquiry, however. de-
veloped the fact that they were merely
dealing in surmises. The purpose OF the
secretary's visit seems to have been just
the opposite of that attributed to him.
Senator Vance told representative of
the Associated Press that Carlisle had
gone 10 the capitol for the purpose of pre-
venting a compromise and Senator Voor-
hees virtually confirmed the statement
After the conference with Carlisle. yoor-
hees said to an Associated Press represen-
tative that the administration forces had
no compromise to suggest or ask, aud that
they were still determined 10 make the
tight on the old lines. On Wednesday
night sessions would be begun, and he
had assurances that there would be q
quorum OF repeal senator's on hand, and
that they would remain until the bill
could be disposed of and there would be
no adjournment until il should be passed.
II would seem. therefore. that if there il to
be compromise it cannot come until
after the night session test Is tried.
Ii is but fair TO say there are very few
repeal senators as sanguine of the success
of night sessions or OF success OF the bill in
its present shape as is Voorhees,. A large
majority of the senator's assert that the
bill cannot be passed except In modified
form, and others agree with Senator Man.
derson in the assertion that il no compro-
mise is reached recess OF the senate until
December will be necessary, which would
virtually mean abandonment of the bill.
Senator Carey, who has not so far identi-
fled himself with either side, said tonight
that the inevitable result of the night ses-

WASHINGTON CTrY, Oct. T.-Chairman
Oufhwaite, of the committee on military
affairs, presented TO the house tins morn-
Ing the report of the board of managers of
the national homes for disabled volunteer
soldiers, Gen. W. B. Franklin president.
The board presents the following statis-
tics: The average cost per member for
the year ending June 80. ls9o. was sf43 Is.
aud for 1898 si4095. The increase in the
average number present during the year
lsJ2 was 265. and in 1898 a65. Thirty less
deaths occurred in 1893 than during the
previous year. The average age of those
cared for In is92 Was 5S.62 years. and 1898
% Os years. The average number of men,
bers present in 1895 was l466t: whole
number cared for, ., 100; number in state
homes, 5,50i; an increase of i7I. The
national government paid 10 state homes
Sss2. S6l-55. The amount expended for
homes was s., 2,0S69i, aside from
construction and repair. The gold
cure for drunkenness was tried in
.he homes and all branches with success,
about ], 400 being reformed. Ii is pointed
out that the depression in business ma
terisiiy increases the number of inmates
IN the homes. The amount appropriated
for the year ending June 80. 1891, is s., 37s,-
50. The board submits new estimates
for the year 1895, but says the abnormal
increase during the first three months of
the current year warns the board that ap-
preparations for the present year viii be
insufficient for next year. The amount
estimated for state and territorial homes
is $4,000 the same as last year. The re-
port says:
Every year the losses in membership
by discharges and death is greater than
the year previous. but each year new ad-
missions more than make up these losses.
No one can tell how long this state of
things will continue, but there are at this
time 100000 persons living who if they
become unable to support themselves will
be entitled to admission. Ii is predicted
that the membership will increase for
some years TO come.
