Its Friends Will Have Their Bill
Ready the Middle Of the
Week.
When Introduced 1t Will Be With
Assurance OF Its
Passage
Tho House Will Accept Almost Any Sub.
stituts and the President Will
Likely Sign 1t.

WARRINGTON. Oct. lb.-The wilson
Voorhees, repeal bill or substitute for it
will again this week command the oxcln-
sivs attention Of ths senate. but tho indi-
cations now are this will be the last week
for the rresent given 70 the subject in the
senate. II tbs com promise men do not en-
counter unexpected obstacles their substi-
tuss will be prepared for introduction By
the middle Of the week. Il IL part of the
programme not to introduce the bill until
assurance Of suilicions support to secure its
passage Is received. Consequently. whom
the bill IL once presented in the ssnats
there will be generally understood end in
sight. Being q compTomiss measure. 1t
will represent no one mans views and Il
will not be satisfactory TO any ono. No
more will II be familiar 70 or to the
liking Of any one section Of the
country, but II will probably
20 through a. introduced and become
Law. Senators from the silver producing
states will be the most vigorous IN their
expressions Of disspproval. yss it is barely
poss bile some OF them will voto for 1t. 1t
is pro bable. however. tho senators from the
silver producing states will not hnd it
necessary to vote for the bill. The oorp.
promise workers are not yet hopeless of
securing their assent. Most Of tho repeal
leaders are on the demoor atie side, and the
making Of . substitute may bs party
msasuts just ,as under the advice OF Sena-
tor TO man they attempted at the begin
ming of the session to make an original
bill.
II the administration leaders do not get
1 L. 4
| ats, they will probobly be- able to get sui
icient number o votes from among the re-
peal republicans to guarantee the success of
She bill. The democratic senators who are
holding on moss stittiy against compromlse
are psrsonal champions of the president.
like Voorhees,. Paine Mills. Smith and
Villas. The belief il gene al that the house
will accept almost any substitute tho senate
will adopt. and the majority incline 10 the
opinion that the president will sign the bill
whom 1t shall reach him. The general be-
lief 10 that whom the bill IL onos signed
there will be a d eeiy movement in congress
looking TO recess until the beginning OF
tho ,eualar session on the Arst MONDAY in
Several important matters figure In the
house horoscope Tor ths coming week. The
AcCrsary bill to sxtend tho provisions OF
4 the Geory act for SIX mouths will &C
to q vote tomorrow afternoon and
despite tho opposition of the Pacific coast
members. Il is hardly probable that either
OF the three amen ln,ents offered by Geary
will cary. although there 10 a possibility
the ono requiring photographs OF identih-
cation and possibly the one defining a Chi
usss merchant may secure tho support OF
the minority. Tho McCreary bill will b.
followed BY the Cox bill TO prevent banl
directors or officials from drawing none,
from institutions with which they are con.
nected. II. too. seems to have the senti-
msnt Of the house behind it. As soon at
this bill IL disposed of q speoial order will
be ought in for consideration OF the
bankruptcy bill. While the big majority
are favorable to the general bankruptcy
bill, If the sentiment OF tho last house II
any indication 1t has some very bitter op-
ponents. II they fail in defeating tht
measure they expsct at least to be able tt
eliminate tho clause forcing involuntary
bankruptcy.
