The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1893-10-07
NO SHOW FOR REPEAL
CAN HOPE ONLY FOR A CON-
PROMISE.
Unless the silver Question Ia Settled by
Mutual Concessions the Debate In the
senate Seems Likely to Go on for
Several Weeks.

\
| for the coming week in the senate is
very uncertain. 1t will probably be a
week of monotonous speech-making
But il may prove to be a week of sur
prises, and there is possibility of
reaching an agreement whereby the
ereal will be definitely and finally
disposed Of This will not come ex opt
through compromise. While there
has been no cessation Of the effort to
secure an agreement the indica-
| tions are that there will be
none until IL becomes evident
| to all that the bill cannot be
| passed or defeated in its present shape.
There may be, as there has been dur
ing the last week, an occasional dis
cussion during the morning hour of
some resolutions of inquiry, but moth
ing more. There has been only one
formal notice of a speech to be made,
from Senator Call for to-day. Mes rs.
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 be-
gun by them last week.
Senator Jones New has not spoken
during the present debate and is
known to be preparing very eS-
haustive treatise upon the silver cues
ton. He will probably consume the
larger part of two or three days. SEN
ator Cockrell's speech will also be his
first spec h of the session and will
probably be long. All these speeches
will be in opposition TO repeal. None
of the repeal advocates have so far
given intimation of any des.r to talk
except Mess,s. White La.) and Pal
mer.
The truce limiting time for debate
to seven hours day expires by lini-
tation to-day, but Mr. Voorhees, said
Saturday that he would make no eff
fort to terminate it, as great many
republican senators would be absent
during the week The democratic
senators who are not especial Y iden-
titled with the administered ton are
still engaged in an eff, TT to reach an
understanding upon compromise
measure, but are not making pro-
gress. The republican senators who
advocate repeal have dropped out of
the negotiations for the presen:.
There is disagreement upon the
amount of silver to be purchased and
upon the bond proposition. 1t may
be ated almost definitely that there
Will be no compromise VI on the basis
suggested Friday last.
Debate ON the Tucker bill to repeal
the general election laws will consume
the entire time of the house for the
coming week ex ept such unimport-
ant matters as may come up in the |
morning hour.
