Aliens amendment is free coinage proposition
There were numerous conferences this morning
bearing upon two subjects-the length OF the daily
sessions and the probable compromise In the dis
cussion OF the former the Republicans were con-
suited: in the latter they were ignored. The
expectation of many that the Senate would
adjourn near 6 o'clock The silver men said that
,r the session was prolonged beyond that hour
they would begin flibustering.
PROPOSED LINES OF COMPROMISE.
There are four different lines which COM
promise has been suggested omanaLng from Sen
ators Vest. Pugh. Harris and Jones, OF Arkansas
The amendments offered by Senators Vest and
Harris appear to be most favored While it is
understood that there shall be caucus to con-
slider these propositions the date for that caucus
has not been fixed. The silver men say tnat 'hev
know they never get unlimited free com
age and are willing to take mean
between that and the unconditional repeal
which they have held since the fight began. If the
compromise agreed upon by the factions Of the
Democrats is reasonable even if they cannot sup
port it, the silver men from the Republican States
say they will not flibuster against II. Dut mat
after they have placed themselves on record they
will permit 1t to to a vote. Republican lead
ers state to-day that they hardly conceive OF Il
compromise satisfactory TO Democrats that could
meet with the approval Of the Republicans. For
this reason it is likely that they VIII content them
selves with voting against it. thus maintaining
consistent record for the unconditional repeal OF
the, law.
The Democrats have a majority Of the Senate
even IL the Republicans and Populists vote solidly
against their measure; and IL the Democratic
caucus indorses a compromise bill II will be put
through party measure Republicans are
merely waiting for developments. and Democrats
are endeavoring TO clear the way for the settle
ment of the question. The indications are that this
will be accomplished early next week.
Mr.. VOORHEES, STILL FOR FIGHT.
Mr. VOORHEES, said to-day that he knew OF no
surrender: he intended to call up the Repeal bill
again to-day and PROCEED with IFS consideration
And how long will that LAST" he was asked
Just as long as the majority will stand by me-"
Then Mr. VOORHEES, spoke of the singular spectacle
presented by the Senate drifting like Il battered
and rudderlcss hulk" practically without rules for
the transaction of business. with such rules a.
were worse than useless. shown by the fact
that one could obstruct business indefinitely
This referred the rule. so literally used yrster-
day by which man had the roll called almost
continuously in the quest for quorum which may
be always present. Mr. Voorhees, said that he in
tended to devote his energies hereafter to an
effort TO reform these abuses.
Touching his conduct OF the campaign last night.
he said that il would never have done to sanction
IA recess long as quorum was in attendance.
That would have subjected him TO severe ana
proper criticism.
Messrs Teller, Wocott. Dubois. Stewart and
other silver Senators held whispered consultations
as :he journal was being read in the Senate THIS
morning They were arranging their plans ana
subdivding their forces for a resumption OF 'he

thread of his argument interrupted by the adj
iournmcnt last night. His material made a pile of
books and manuscript Il loot IN depth' ana MS

bv parallels heretofore, but can now venture OUT
into the open with the certainty OF a safe re-
treat behind them in the shape OF another dreary
desert of talk TO intervene before any vote can be
taken without their consent upon any notioh which
does not meet their approval.
SILVER FORCES IN RESERVE.
