THE OUTLOOK.
Another Week of Talk on Silver 10
the Senate.
DEFINITE ACTION IS UNCERTAIN.
Jones, of Nevada, Prepared with an Ex'
haustive Blast-Th Tucker Bill
Will Excite tho
House.

WASHINGTON, Oct 2.-The outlook
for the present week in the senate is
very uncertain. 1t will probably be a
week of surprises and there is possi-
bility of reaching an agreement where
by the repeal bill will be definitely and
finally disposed of. This will not come
except through compromise. While
there has been no cessation of the eff
fort to secure an agreement, the in
dications are that there will be
none until it becomes evident to all
that the bill will not be passed
or defeated in its present shape. There
may be, as there has been during the
past week, an occasional discussion
during the morning hour of some reso-
luton of inquiry, but nothing more.
There has been only one formal notice
of n speech to be made, from Senator
Call for tomorrow. Messrs. Cockrell,
Kyle, Martin, Power and Dubois have
all privately expressed their intention
to talk during the week, and Messrs-
Teller and Morgan will probably finish
the speeches begun by them last week.
Senator Jones, of Nevada, has not
spoken during the present debate and
is known to be preparing very ex-
haustive treatise upon the silver ques-
tion. He will probably consume the
larger part of two or three days. SEN
ator Cockrell's speech will also be his
first speech of the session and will
probably be long. None of the repeal
advocates have so far given intimation
of any desire to talk, except Messrs.
White, of Louisiana, and Palmer.
The specter of night sessions has
again been laid. The truce limiting
time for debates to seven hours per day
expires by limitation tomorrow, but
Mr. Voorhees, said that he would make
no effort to terminate it at that time
as a great many of the republican SEN
ators would be absent during the week.
The democratic senators who are not
especially identified with the admins
tration are still engaged in trying to
reach an understanding upon a COM
promise, but are not making progress.
The republican senators who advocate
repeal have dropped out of the negotia-
tions for the present. There is disagree
ment upon the amount OF silver to be
purchased and coined and upon the
bond proposition. 1t may be stated al
most definitely that there will be no
compromise upon the basis suggested
Friday last.
Debate on the Tucker bill to repeal
the federal elections laws will consume
the entire time of the house for the
week, except some uniInportant mat
tiers that may come up in the morning
hour.
Saturday Mr.. Patterson's announce
ment that the Anglo-Saxon race would
dominate in the south, no matter what
laws might be passed to repress them.
stirred up the republicans, and will
probably furnish the text for some
speeches. Some of the big men on both
sides are being reserved for the
finish. Bourke Cochran, Amos Cum
mings, Col. Oates, Springer, Wilson
and others on the democratic side;
Reed, Dolliver, Henderson and Bur-
rows'on the republican side, will not
be heard until the battle RACES fiercest.
The voting will not begin under the
order until October 10, week from
Tuesday.
