| Washil eton, Oct. 2o-The Dtmocrats
| of the senate are again dcvoting their
time almost exclusively to the effort to
reach an understanding among them
selves, and consider that they are in
falr way to agree Upon a bill to be
brought into the scratt ut the beginning
of next week. They have, indeed, been
dcvoting their attention so exclusively to
the compromise question that but very
few of tlt rcir aimed in he Senate dur
ing the session. There were, however,
no suggestions upon the part of the sill
Yer men for the want of II quorum, for
the reason that they understood the sit
untion, and were willing to permit the
compromise work To 20 on uninterrupted.
Some of the repeal Democratic senators
are still holding out for absolute repeal,
and il is with this class that the com
m'ltcc are now laboring. The opinion is
expressed that if the majority fail in
| bringing these objcc,"rs over, the vote
necessary to put the bill through will be
found among the silver men on the Re
publican side The bill which will be
brought in, as now contemplated, will
be n very simple measure. 1t will cN-
tend the provisions of the present silver
purchase law until the LIST of January,
1893, with reduction of the monthly
purchase to $2.jUn.OUO of silver per
month. 1t will also pro,idc for the coin
age Immediately Of the scignorage of the
silver at present il the treasury. 1t is
asserted thai it Will not include any
provision for bonds. Lut That point is not
yet determined definitely. The day in
the senate was drvo.rd again t" spccrl-
mai ing, and no radical molc WIS made
| by either side.
The house did nothing except to agree
