WASHINGTON GRIS4.
The Situation To-day at the National
Capital-Vote on Repeal Com
ing Shortly.
Numerous Amendments - Chagrined
Democrats-Sherman's Threat
Silverites Yet Talking.
SITUATION THIS FORENOON.

Washington, Oct. 25.-It is calm here
to-day after yesterdays storm but an air
of uncertainty still prevails. The re-
pealers will push to vote on the silver
question as soon as possible. II the bill
we're to pass the senate now there are not
enough members of the lower house here
to make quorum, but they would all be
called in and flock back to the capital at
once. As soon as the bill is passed a
melton for the immediate adjournment
of the extra session will be made.
SENATOR VOORHEES, SAYS
unconditional repeal is better than The
proposed compromise. He believes that
the fight is over and that a vote will be
had in few days. "The end is in sight,"
he said, "and unconditional repeal will
win. Of course, can not 90 into the
details and tell you why this is true. You
may quote me as saying that the fight is
practically over"
"Do you expect vote to-day?"
Hardly so early as that"
DEMOCRATS oHAaR1NED.
The Democratic senators, such as Cor.
man and Faulkner, who have been at
tempting to secure compromise, are
chagrined that the presidents counsel
should prevail. Senator Faulkner says:
II look for vote inside of five days, and
unconditional repeal will pass by safe
majority"
Senator Dubois, of Idaho, who took q
leading part yesterday in arranging for
the continuance of the fight against un-
conditional repeal, says vote would
probably come within week, as there
would be no opposition or attempt at
filibustering. "The speeches which have
been b. gun will be finished" said Senator
Dubois, ''and such other speeches as SEN
ators may desire to deliver" 1t is under
stood that Senator Teller has something
yet to say, and Senator Stewart and Jones
desire to conclude their words. Senator
Allen also desires to make some further
remarks.
THE AMENDMENTS.
There are twenty-seven amendments to
the repeal bill which have been intro
duced in the senate as "intended to be Of
fered." 1t is not generally believed that
very large percentage of them will be
offered. Upon this contingency will de-
pend the time of the disposal of the bill
after the voting is begun. The Voorhees,
bill will be substituted in the senate for
the house bill.
FEELING IN THE HOUSE.
There is disposition among the repeal
Democrats In the house to concur with
the amendments of the Wilson bill If it
comes ever in the shape that is now
known as the Voorhees, bill. The recog-
nized leaders of repeal say there is nothing
in the Voorhees, bill that differs from the
Wilson bill, except the declaration at the
end. If that is satisfactory to the senate,
they are willing to adopt it.
The repeal Republicans say they are
willing to support in the house any bill
which the repeal Republicans of the SEN
ate endorse. There lisa disposition in the
house not to delay the passage of the bill
by asking for conference or disagreeing
with the Voorhees, bill.
THE BIG CONTEST YET TO COME.
The outlook is good that the regular
session Of congress will be flooded with
financial bills, and no one need be sur
prised If the regular session should de-
velop record of financial discussion al
most as important as the one now closing.
