TELEGRApHIC.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-The senate
met this morning at 10 o'clock, no ad-
journment having taken place since
week ago today. The legislative day of
October II continues.
NO COMPROMISE.
Tho opinion is now general among
the senators who will discuss the ques-
tion at all, that the compromise bill
over which they were SO sangulne
Saturday Will never be introduced in
the senate.
The reason for this is the compro-
misers have been unable to get suf-
ficient number of pledges to guarantee
the passage of the bill and they have
said from the beginning that unless
they could secure a majority they
would not introduce it. The most su-
theotic statement OF the number of
pledges make it thirty-nine or four
short Of majority. The pledges were
all by democrats. In this strait the
repu blicans have been appealed to
help out but they have all, repeal and
silver men alike, refused to join the
movements.
Stewart, OF Nevada, gave notice of an
amendment he intended to offer to
the repeal oil proposing a conference
to be held at Washington within nine
months between delegates of the United
States, Mexico, Central America, South
America, Hayti and San Domingo, for
adoption of common silver coin, to be
| legal tender between the citizens of the
| countries represented.
JONES' ELABORATE THEORY.
Consideration of the silver repeal bill
was then resumed. Jones, of Nevada,
resumed his argument in opposition to
| the bill. Jones made an elabocate
argument he was advocating when the
senate took a recess Saturday evening,
| that the standard of the country could
| be neither gold, silver nor a material
thing, but that whatever standard it
might be, it was quantitative and value
of each unit depended upon the number
of units and that there could be but a
single standard in a country and that
one of quantity.
OLD TACTICS RESUMED.
Voorhees, stated this afternoon he
would close today's session and legis-
lative day of Tuesday by moving adj
| journment till tomorrow.
1t is surmised this action may be for
the purpose of putting matters IN shape
Il To- .l0A.
When it became apparent today the
| compromise scheme had failed the
silver men renewed their old tactics of
calling for quarum.

ter on the great lakes to replace the
| Andy johnson was then resumed.
Loud, of California, offered substitute
| including provision for a revenue cutter
for the harbor of San Francisco. Chair
ma0 Sayers, of the appropriation COM
| Oittee opposing the substitute, served
| notice on his democratic colleagues that
unless they joined with him in
| economizlng this billion dollar congress.
| Loud withdrew his substitute and the
bill passed.
The house then proceeded to con-
sideration of the bankruptcy bill. Oates
| opened debate in advocacy of it.
