WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE weary strug.
gle In the senate goes on and on, and to-
night little progress ssems to have been
made towards settlement. The silver
men stll have the upper hand and control
the situation. The first intimation Of the
weakening Of the repeal forces was the
decision OF voorhsss to move for recess
tonight from 10 p. m. until II tomorrow.
He reckoned, however. without the silver
men, who announced that they would not
yield the floor to Voorhees, to make his mo-
tion and thus he WAS obliged 10 abandon
his plan. Many stories of compromise
are In the air tonight, but tho
unqualified statement Of both sides
ts that the hght now In
progress must be decided before any com.
promise can be broached with success.

AL night long Senator Allen of Ne
braska held the floor, interrupted by an
occasional ili-tempered colloquy for q roll
call, which dragged the sleeping senators
from the adjoining cloak rooms. Gray
dawn at 8 q. m. found Allen still holding
the fort In the great struggle against un-
conditional repeal as he had been doing
since darkness fell last night. He had
broken all previous records. For 12 hours
and half he had held the floor continu-
ously. The longest time any senator had
previously occupied the floor was on tho
occasion Of the force bill fight in 1891,
when Faulkner remained on guard IL
hours, though the latter had breathing
spell during the absence Of o quorum.
Allen seemed almost ms fresh rs when he
began. HIS voice was still loud and
strong and tho great straiu seemed not
70 have affected bis physical or mental
vieoe.
An effort was made shortly after by the
anti-silver men to reach an agreement
with the silverites for q recess until 10
o'clock, but the latter declined the offer.
As the hours passed Senator Aliens
powers OF endurance amazed his auditors.
Shortly after Shoup made the point Of
NO quorum. A roll call developed the
