WHEELING w. VA WEDNESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 95 1893

must be allowed. 1t is one Of the lniu-
ences that is at work to hurry up an ad-
journment.
Mr.. Oates, in charge Of the Bank
ruptcy bill, says that he is willing Oon-
grsss should adjourn, as the bill Will
come up the first thing at the regular
session. Chairman Wilson, OF the Ways
and Means Committee, says adjourn
ment ought TO follow and that the COM
mittee would be glad II such action Is
taken, as they could work to better ad-
vantage. There seems to be general
desire among the members Of the House
to get away, and the news that the Sen-
ate would vote seemed 10 be rellet
even to those who are pronounced silver
men.
VIEWS UF THOSE INTERESTED.
Several members Of the Cabinet were
seen tonight in regard to the silver
situation but refused to discuss the
matter, saying that they preferred not
to be quoted.
Several Senators on both sides OF the
question were also interviewed and
expressed themselves as follows:
Senator Palmer Dem, III said:
"a vote will probably be reached on
the repeal bill this week; at any rate,
no later than next week. a vote will
be taken as soon as the speeches which
are now in progress are concluded.
Senators Teller, Stewart and Jones
have speeches on hand which were
commenced some weeks ago, and un-
derstand that when these Senators
have finished no further attempt will
be made on the part Of the opponents
OF repeal to fIibuster. l think vote
will be taken no later than next week. !"
Senator Brice (Dem., Ohio) said: "a
vote will be had on Thursday or Friday
of this week. The repeal bill is practl-
cally passed now. We are only awaiting
the convenience Of Senators. The bill
will be passed no later than Friday"
Senator Hill Dem, New York; said
81 think the contest is at an end. The
indications are that the final vote will
will be taken in few days That seems
to be the general understanding now. 1"
Senator Cockrell said: ut is impossi-
BILE to tell. There are many amend
mentS which will be proposed, the dis
cussion on which will consume
considerable time. There is no doubt
in my mind that vote will be reached
next week"
Mr.. Harris, Dem, Tenn.) the lead
ing silver Democrat on the Finance
Committee said: 81 am all a. sea, but
believe that the end OF the fight is near.
l will not be party to obstructive tao
tics. am anxious for vote Oh the
amendments and would like it to-day II
possible. Then when they are out OF
the way want to see the vote taken on
the:bil itself as soon as possible"
Mr. Dubois, (Rep. Idaho), one Of the
leaders against repeal, said: THE
silver Democrats having seen fit to
abandon the fight l hardly think the
silver Republicans will feel justified in
resortinR TO obstructive methods. They
will probably insist that debate shall
be continued until all have spoken who
desire, also that there shall be full de-
bate on the various amendments.
The silver men all say very frankly
that they prefer unconditional repeal TO
any such compromise as was agreed on
among the Democrats last Saturday.
They have all along claimed that a
compromise that did not continue the
use OF silver until 1896 was worse than
nothing. They feared that the pro-
posed compromise would, il passed,
work in the interest Of their opponents,
no matter what changes would occur.
