The Debate Win Be Carried on For Weeks
 Yet Unless It Is Stopped by a Vote-The
 House Has a Long Schedule of Work AL
 ready Mapped Out.
 WAsHINGToN. Sept 1.-The repeal bill will continue to be the absorbing topic of interest before congress this week Notices of speeches to come have already been given by senators sufficient to i'll in the greater part of the week, and others are known {" he in course of preparation, so that in the ahseuce of an agreement ot some kind therr k no reason to believe that d vote on the bill can bc reached this week
 Although he has not fixed definitely upon the date of delivery of his speech Mir. Mills of Texas may follow Mir Teller in debate l. k the current report that he will advo cate unconditional repeal. and as the sena tor comes from a strong silver state and must thereby antaEonize number of his constituents, his utterances will doubtless hc listened to with great interest.
 Thirty-Three Speeches to Come.
 Speculation is rife as to the length of the debate now progressing Thirty-three sen. ators are said to have arranged to speak on the subject, besides which 10 or l2 more may address the senate before the close ot tn" debate. Mir George of Mississippi has stated that he expects to speak about two days. Mir. Jones of Nevada and Mir. Daniel of Virginia will each consume two days, and Mt~~r~. Morgan of Alabama and Stew art of Nevada will each speak one day. Even if a compromise shall ultimately b, agreed upon. thr final vote will not bt taken earlier than the first week in OCto- hrr some senators are of the opinion that the debate will continue until the middle of October.
 In the present unsettled condition of af fairs it is impossible to forrtcll what will be the programme of the hou>e of repre- seutHtiNes fer a week ahead The fact i> no course of action has been laid ont by the leaders, and they are satisfied to let each session of the body take care of itself
 This state of things is likely to continue until either the senate acts upon the repeal bill pending before it or the time comes when the committees on appropriations and ways and means have some proposed legislation formulated for the considera tion of the house
 It k expected that today the report oi the committee on accounts will be called up for discussion. There k in this the ma terial for debate that shall last several days, for the minority recommend con siderable reduction in the number of com mitttes tu which clerks shall be allowed.
 More Business For the House.
 Later ill the week, if il k possible fol the committee on elections to report the measure To the house. one of the bills pro viding for the repeal of the federal election laws may come up for consideration, but the probabilities are against il. So, too the bill introduced on Saturday by Mir Everett of Massachusetts to modify tn, GcIry law hy extending the time for regis traitor from May ; to Sept. l. lS+. and il various other ways allvviating the severitl "i tue provisions of that measure.
 This hill k understood to h, an admins traitor measure, and early action k sait to be desired The committee on forcigl atlair~. [" which it wa> referred, does no meet until Thursday. ~o that unless a spc cial mr"tiu- k 'HIlvd report upon it can moi he l""kel fer until the latter end of tht week
 l. is likely that after di~po>inG of the re port of thr committee on accounts tho r.~r will take | three days recess whil, ..... ing for some matter to be put in shapt Tor actIvH.
