 WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-With the new baby at Woodley, the presidents country home, the senate still at debate on the sill yer question, Carlisle at the capitol, and | the Keeley cure a success at the soldiers homes of the country, 1t looks as If the | people of the nation were still active, If | nothing more.
 THE SILVER BILL.
 After another week of fruitless debate on the silver bill, Senator Voorhees has, as you know, given notice in the hearing of the senate that on Wednesday of this week he proposes to commence the continuous session of the latter body in the hopes of forcing a vote on the unconditional repeal bill, and that he should expect all of the senators to be in their seats, and to do their duty as men.
 NOT SANGUINE OF REPEAL.
 It Is not probable, however, that this will accomplish any good result, as 1t Is authoritatively stated that the republicans will desert and leave the democrats power less to act as soon as they have demon strated that the test of physical endurance cannot accomplish anything. If these tao tics fail to force 8 vote, 1t Is rumored here that
 AN ISSUE OF BONDS
 will be voted fol, in the issuance of which, I am led to understand, the administration is in sympathy. Secretary Carlisle has been at the capitol in close consultation with several of the senators, and rumors of acompromise sug- gssted by MT. Carlisle were flying thick and fast, but the exact purport of his mis- sion could not be sscertained. It is un- derstood, however, that Senator Voorhees, and his followers will never consent to compromiss, even if they fiddle while Rome burns.
 IN THE HOUSE.
 The past week in the house has been es- pecially devoid of interest. An effort Is being made on the part of the democratic managers of the house to get back the dem ocratic members now out of town in time to vote on the repeal of the federal election laws on Tuesday (ss was done yesterday. as it is feared that otherwise they may bs 1 left without 8 quorum.
 l TO FAVOR DEMOCRATS. Hon, Josiah Quincy of Boston, ex-assist- ant secretary of state, has returned home to stay, it is understood. MT. Quincy has been with the president since Wednesday iu consultation concerning the making of l pertain appointments in the diplomatic and consular service. It Is stated as a re- suit of his visit that all appointments to be made will be thoroughly democratic, and that several appointments and resig- nations may soon be looked for in the | service.
 OUR CONNECTICUT DELEGATION. But to leave for the present our silver bill and appointments and take peep al our Connecticut people here. Patent Com

 A NOTABLE TRADE MARK CASE.
 MT. Seymour has obtained considerabl, notoriety in the Palmetto trade mark case
 in which he refused to register trade
 mark which would allow the governor and other state officers of South Carolina t,
 sell rum under the trademark ''Palmet
 to-"
 Upon the commissioners refusal to reg , ister the trademark as requested, a man , damus was issued at the request of Cover
 nor Tillman to compel the registration o
 the trademark. This was contested b. the commissioner and decided by the oour
 in favor of the governor, and it now look as if an appeal would be taken and the GAS contested through the higher courts. UNITED STATES TREAsuR RAR MORGAN. : United States Treasurer Morgan, 0

 years old. hale and hearty, and Is said { D more closely resemble Washington tha ], any other person claiming relationship , and several times have his pictures, take . when he was dressed in uniform, bee mistaken for those of Washington hin J. self. Not long since the Sons of the Ame y ican Revolution investigated his elaine J. relationship, and their verdict goes to SUI port them.
