NOT JUST YET
And 1t May Perhaps Be
Not at All.
No Compromise Reach
ed BY the Senate.
Silver Men not so Sanguine as
They We're.
An Opinion Expressed That the
Proposed Measure Will not Be
Submitted to the Senate.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-[By Tele-
graph. 1.-The senate met at 10 O'Clock
today. no adjournment having taken
place since week ago today; the
legislative day OF October 18th con-
tinues.
Senator Stewart OF Nevada, gave
notice of an amendment he intended to
the repeal bill proposing a conference
to be held at Washington within nine
months between the delegates of the
United States, Mexico, Central Ameri-
ca, South America, Hayti and Santo
Domingo for the adoption of common
silver coin to be legal tender between
the citizens of the countries represent
ed. The consideration of the sllv er bill
was then resumed.
Senator Jones of Nevada, resumed his
argument IN opposition to the bill.
The senator made an elaborate argu-
ment he was advancing the argument
when the senate took a recess on Sat-
urday, that the standard money of the
country could be neither gold nor sill
YER, nor a material thing, but that
whatever the standard might be it was
a quantitive proposition and the value
of each unit depended upon the number
of units and that there could be but one
single standard in the country and that
one of quantity.
Senator Voorhees, stated this after
noon that he would close today's ses-
sion and end the legislative day of Tues
day by moving an adjournment till to-
morrow. 1t is surmised that this action
may be for the purpose of putting mat
ters in shape for bringing up cloture
question. When it became apparent to-
day that the compromise scheme had
| failed, the silver men renewed their old
tactics OF calling for quorum.
| The opinion is now general among the
senators who will discuss the question
at all, that the compromise bill over
| which they were 30 sanguine Saturday
will bever be introduced in the senate.
The reason for this is that the con-
trollers have been unable to get a suf-
ficient number of pledges to guarantee
the the passage of the bill and they
have said from the beginning, that un-
less they could secure majority they
would not introduce it.
The senate amendments to the Raw
lins bill for the relief of the Mormon
church has been agreed to. Mr.. Gil
gore objected to the bill authorizing the
payment Of the expenses of L. L. Will.
Jams. worlds fair commissioner from
Alaska, on the ground that it would
result in deluge of such claims. The
printing bill passed 167 to II. Con.
sideration of the bill for the construc-
tion OF steam revenue cutter on the
great lakes to replace the Andy John
son. was then resumed.
Mr.. Loud of California offered sub
stitute including provision for a cutter
for the harbor of San Francisco.
Chairman Savers, of the appropria.
tion committee, opposed the substitute
and served notice on his Democratic
colleagues that unless they joined with
him in economizing this will be a billion
dollar congress. Mr.. Loud withdrew
his substitute and the bill passed. The
house then proceeded to the considsra.
tion of the bankruptcy bill. Mr.. Oates
opened the debate in advocacy of it.
