Dses Not Think Much OF the Faulkner
Compr0miss Amendment-It Was
introduced Thursday.

| WARRINGTON, Sept. 14.--Voorhses said "a
o representative Of tho Associated press to-
day that hs WAS still dster mined to press
the repsal bill to as early . conclusion
as possible. 'If however, II is necessary u
he said. 10 observe the courtssiss required
by the tradition and rules Of the senate
and really believe by showing due regard
10 these points ws shall be Abla to make
greater progress than II We violated them.
Ssnstors who oppose the bill must soon
come 70 see that We have been acting with
exceptional liberAlity. and I am sure that
sort of conduct will hnvs its effect upon
them. There 10 undoubtedly SCOPE yet loft

there 10 no means. II there wsro . disposi-
tton, Of pressing the question TO Q vote be-
fore every senator hus had an oppo tunity
to say what he may wish to say. We have
not really consumed ~ much time In the
discussion OF this question ~ the country
seems TO think. and have every reason to
believe We shall be able to reach a vote In Q
comparatively shot time"
Pressed to say how long that time would
be, he named two weeks ~ tho limit of
debate. After that. IL speech king were

filibuster, and he did not believe tactics
for simple delay could long be pursued; nor
did he think there would be any disposition
among opponents of repeal. aside possibly
from senators Of the silver produoing
| states. to UNNECESSARILY consumc the time
| of the senate. and those senators could not
| expect TO continue the contest long without
the assistance Of senators from other sss-
| tions of the country.
Replying to question a. to how he ex-
pected to bring the matter TO . close, Voor-
hees said with legitimate speech akinR
| out Of the way, the question would soon
| resolve Itself into one of physical endur-
nnce. and he expected soon to ask the SEN
ate TO hold lonRs daily sessions, and indt ei
to oontinue them into the night He
thouaht this course would be justified after
this week. and would move in this diYeo-
tion and with this specific end In view
within the next three or four days.
Asked what he thought woald be the dis
position Of the senate TO npromiss on the
line of the Faulkner amendment. Voorhees,
replied that he did not believe thero would
be any amendment OF the bill, and ho was
of the OF inion that the silver men would
show greater at. ength in the vote in oppo-
sition to the st aight repeal bill than upon
any other proposition which could be
brought before the senate in connection
with present legislation.

ELECTRIC SUB-VAYS.
THEY WILL HAVE A CAPACITY FOR i,44(
SETS OF WIRES
Work to B. Commenced To-Day 81 NAH ard
Twelfth Streets, and 70 Be Pushed
THEORETICALLY.

Genera! Manager Metzgar, OF the
Telephone company, came down from
Pittsburg yesterday, and had confer
ence with Manager Wolff relative to
the underground conduits to be put
down In this city for the telephone
wires. Asa result II was determined
10 put In enough ducts 10 accommodate
all the wires needed In this city for
half century to come, and this avoids
again tearing up the streets
Nine car loads OF the ducts,
which are OF Ere clay. and In
sections about two and one-half feet
long, have arrived, and in Q few days
they will be unloaded and distributed
along Main street, from Twelfth north,
where work will first be commenced
Work will be commenced this morning.
and will be energeticslly prosecuted
until all the duets are down on Main
and Market streets, between Sixteenth
street and Tenth. The result will be
the removal OF the overhead wires from
these streets, something which VIII
partake OF the characteristics OF de-
cided improvement.
The bitches will be dug deep enough
TO get under all sewers, water pipes, etc,
aud in them will be laid "a lines OF
ducts, enclosed in brick and cement,
with nan-hole every foui hundred or
five hundred feet. Each duet will hold
sixty pairs of wires, arranged on the
metallic circuit principle, or one hun
dred aud twenty single wires. and there
will thus be capacity for l,44O
pairs in the subways on
Main and Market streets. This will
accommodate about double the number
OF telephones now In existence. 1t Is
uncertain which side OF Main street the
excavation will be on, 1t depending on
how the sewers, etc, run. The
workmen will work north from Twelfth
street, however. to meet the subway
put down last fall from the end OF the
steel bridge to the west end OF Market
alley, through which the lines from the
Island and the Ohio side now pass.
