the ,en ' ye.te lay las I'd from 10 "A. IN.
unti. 5:l5 p ~, when suother recess was
taken uud. 10 o'clock this morning. The
min object Il es.erecesses, instead of
REGULAR adj urnment,cs To cut off the time
for morning business. which may be ex-
tended 20 two hours
The debate yesterday did not touch the
repeal i'll at all, except incidentally. 1t
progressed, first on Mr.. Dolph's motion to
amend the journal OF Monday, which, after
a couple Of hours, WAS laid on the table by
a vote Of 45 TO 80, and then on like mo-
tion by Mr.. Teller, because his nnme did
not appear OH the journal, he having been
present ar "a rolcall and not having an
swered
The four principal speeches Of the day
were made by Senators Morgan Dem,
Ala.) Teller (Rep., Colo) Daniel (Dem.,
Va) and Mills Dem. Tex.). But there
were many Interesting and exciting inter
locutury sta'emonts made during the de-
livery OF these peeches. Mr. Morgan was
more than Usually bitter in his attacks
upon Mr.. Hill Dem., N. W, whom he
spoke of AS ali astute politician who would
fly back and forth like weaver's shuttle,
aud again as one of those who rose to the
aud exploded, leaving behind only
m, ,phitic odors.
Mr.. Hill took no notice OF these attacks
upon him, but afterward got into col
lcquy with Senator Daniel, in which he
directed, with much emphasis (the remark
being received with great applause), that
II the presiding officer agreed with him,
the bill would pass Ia spite Of all obstruc-
tions.
Prospect OF a settlement
For the first time since the extra session
of congress began there appears to exist a
prospect that some solution Of the repeal
question may be reached, but whether by
compromise or amendment of the rules or
some other method, remains to be seen.
There will be a full conference of Demo-
cratic senator's although the administra-
tion's followers are not disposed to sign
the call for ciuCus. The latter are noS
willing To be coerced into action by IRON
clad contracts Tue administration forces
are aware that the Democrats have ma
jOrty of their own party in the senate
against repeal, and are therefore appre-
hensive that they may attempt TO force
them TO adopt course OF action which the
president and themselves could not sane
tion.
This administration minority on these
conditions in the party are willing to hear
what the oppO ents oi repeal have To offer.
and will not place any factious obstruc-
tions in the way Of mutually satisfac-
tory adjustment, II practicable.
The Republicans in the senate in the
meantime propose to await developments
Senator Allison left for Iowa yesterday.
IL conversation, before he started, he
said;
From all l can gather from various
sources in the senate, the debate will con-
tinue for at least two weeks longer. Dur
ing that time the efforts TO reach an ad-
ju~tment among the Democrats will be
pre- sed. / think there will he some solu-
tion Of the silver question, as the Demo
Gratis on both sides now realize that they
are responsible for the unsettled condition
Of the country, growing out of this silver
agitation" The senator said further: IL
have paired with Senator Cockrell Of Mis-
souri,, but have notified the senate that
shall he prepared to return whenever my
presence is needed"
Nom Com IN u NEGATIVE.
The Democrats In the senate are In a
good deal Of trouble over question Of a
caucus on the silver question and great
secrecy il observed on the subject. II is
learned, however, that the requisite num-
Der OF names have been secured to the
call for a caucus aud that one will be held.
The question seems to be as TO the time Of
holding the meeting, and also on the
proposition raised by the repealers to
make n joint caucus of it. inviting the
Democrats of the house to join those of
the senate in an effort to declare the party
policy.
This latter proposition the silver men
will never agree to, a. the Democrats of
the house have already passed on the ques-
tion in a very decided way, and the silver
senators insist that it has passed out of
their province The repeal men of the
senate are not willing To be bound by a
caucus and are disposed to have it de-
fefred for some days yet, until. IA they
hope, public sentiment will have affected
the senate
There is strong flavor OF closure in
nearly all Of the senatorial gossip heard
Senator Hawisy OF Connecticut, one of
the ablest of the New England colony, re-
marked to n reporter that the proceedings
in the senate during the past 10 days
must have convinced every reasonable
man in Na,hingion that uncouditioha al
repeal can only be accomplished by n re-
sort TO closure. He contends that recent
experience would justify, more than ever
before, ruling by the vice presd mt in
the senate enabling the majority to exert
its right to control the actions OF that
body.
Quiet Day In the House.
The only incident OF note in the hou Sc
was personal controversy between
