WASHINGTON, Oct. S.-The moment
Gus event in the senate this week, So
far as can be foreseen, will be the at
tempt to secure continuous session of
that body. That this attempt will pro
duce important results can hardly be
doubted by ary one familiar with the
situation. There is a general desire, as
well as belief, in the chamber that the
present week will bring n solution of
the problem. The opinion is expressed
that there will be compromise of some
character agreed to and put through.
The proposition to simply extend the
Sherman law for definite period. with
reduced monthly purchases, seems to
be taking shape as the most likely of
the various propositions to receive ap
proval. Most of the suggestions so far
made for compromise are very much
alike in that they fix a time when the
purchase and coinage of silver shall
cease altogether, and that they decrease
the amount to be purchased per month
by from 50, 10000 to 100000 worth.
The proposition to include
\ BOND PURCHASE
is also still receiving attention, and the
present indications are that while a
great many Democrats may not agree to
such a proposition, 1t may be put through
with the assistance of Republicans. The
senators from the esilver-producingS states
are constantly consulted and advised
with as to the terms of agreement, but
they will not be allowed to dictate in
the matter of compromise. There is not
sufficient number of them to continue
the fight great while, if there should
be an argument against them. Their
allies will not desert them outright, but
If opportunity offers tor a settlement of
the question, the silver state senators
will be expected to acquiesce in any
reasonable arrangement looking to the
continued recognition of silver. 1t may
be stated, however, that the silver party
III NV oNlihAlS 40 - AlOAOs pUIll
Democrats and Republicans, is not so
anxious to secure a compromise as is
supposed. The silver men appreciate
that they are IN the minority and can
not dictate terms of capitulation. but
they feel that the majority is almost as
ANXIOUS FOR ADJOURNMENT
as they are, and that if they can make
1t clear that they Will be able to go on
with the debate Indefinitely. they will
be able to secure very liberal conces-
sions. One point on which they still
seem determined to hold out is against
fixing the limitation of time when silver
purchases snail cease within Mr..
Cleveland's administration. and the
chances are that they will win in this
matter. What the silver men would
like most of all next to free coinage
would be to have the administration
forces abandon the fight altogether and
leave the present bill in force. That
would be triumph and not compromise.
Senator Henderson intimated yesterday
that he considered this result DOS
sible, and, having canvassed
the chamber very thoroughly to
secure compromise, Mr.. Manderson is
quite competent TO pass upon this point.
Such 4 result could be brought about by
taking a recess until the regular meet
ing day in December, or by taking up
some other bill. There is a general de-
sire among senators to get away. Sam
moned here hurriedly last August to do
q work which they were assured could
be accomplished III two weeks, many of
them left their business affairs in bad
shape, and desire TO return home to put
Il EN- IN order. Many wish to 90 away
to bring their furniture here. Others
are pledged to take part in the cam
paigns in their various states. Almost
all of them are anxious to visit the
worlds fair before it closes. Ii, there
fore, the
NIGHT SESSION EXPERIMENT
should not bring the passage of the bill
in some shape, amended or unamended.
there is a possibility that a recess reso-
luton would secure a majority in its
support. The elections bill will pos
sibly reach the senate early in the
week, but there will likely be no imme-
diaie effort to take it up. The silver
men are prepared to keep up bold
ant until after the night session ex-
pertinent shall have passed. Senator
Allen. of Nebraska, had only fairly be-
gun speech yesterday when the senate
adjourned, a but he will tomorrow give
way to Mcpherson, who desires to speak
on the repeal side. and MIR. CockrelI
VINO will oppose repeal. Senator VOL
colt will probably make a short speech
during the morning hour tomorrow.
Mr.. Allen will come in later dur
ing the week to finish his speech.
as will also Senator Teller to
complete the speech begun bv
him over week since. Senators Nor

advocates are understood 10 be nre.

is presented for their delivery. Senator
White, Of Louisiana, may also sneak

Senator Jones, OF Nevada, is indis-
posed. Lat, if his health should I'M
prove. he will begin the delivery of a
speech. The silver men say they will
agree to do the talking if the repealers
will keep the quorum intact.
