The london Times ON the Sennte Debate,
LONDON, Oct. 16.-The Times says in a
leader concerning the senate debate on the
repeal bill: I'VE fear that no result will be
reached speedily, and that no more dimi-
mutton of the amount of silver erpurchase, as
suggested by advocates of compromise,
will remove the existing financial uncer-
tainty or replace credit on secure basis.
At the same time the prolonging of the
purchases under the Sherman act, which
obviously will result If the compromise be
vetoed, will perpetuate all tha causes Of
the recentSisturbances."

put In, but present indications are that
two 5-foot tracks will be laid. It Is the
intention OF the company to make cut

Providence, Warren aud Bristol railroad
about 100 yards below the Pomham sta.
tion of the Providence, Warren and Bris-

The Warren road is to be widened four
feet all the way from Armington corner

From the west end Of the bridge to the

be laid out to join the present Railroad
from the bridge to Washington avenue,
In Riverside. The west boundary Is TO
be moved thirty feet farther from the
Piovidence, Warren and Bristol tracks 5,
thus making the avenue sixty feet wide
instead OF thirty feet as at present.
1t will then probably run down Rail-
road avenue and through Railroad
square to Bullock's Point avenue.
