NOT ALARMED.
Silver Senators Can Hold the Fort Until
RcInforcements Come.

Silvor Senators Can Hold the Fort Until
Rcinforcemen ents Come.
WARRINGTON, Sept. 2.-Notwithstandin ing
that surface Indications In the senate all
point to an early effort on the part of the
advocates of the repeal bill to force an
early action upon that measure the silver
senators do not seem alarmed over the i'm
mediate situation. Whom spoken to upon
the question they say little, but seem to
have q look upon their faces which indi-
oates that they may know thing or two
that the world at large has not become
familiar with. While mono of them will
admit in terms that they have any iuten-
tion of filibusterinR they say. with singular
unanimity, that they expect and intend to
secure the full and free discussion OF the
question in all its phases before . vote can
be taken.
The effect of the action of Veorhees yes-
terday in calling for vote in the senate on
the repeal bill VIII be to keep the senators
regular in their attendance. and also TO
keep the silver mon constantly on the alert
and on the defensive, for if they know at
each pause in the debate that Voorhees, will
bs pressing for vote they will be COM
PEELED to keep one or more OF their men in
the chamber ready to take the floor at a
moments notice. The silver men will not
allow vote until they are unable to hold
the floor longer. That il the point to
which tho fight will finally be brought, for
the men 4, ON the silver states will never
consent to vote any other way.
1t is doubtful If the democratic majority
would ever consent TO the adoption Of clo-
ture, no matter how long the time might be
strung out. What the free coinage mon
seek to accomplish by delay was indicated
BY Vance. He urged that the advocates of
silver hold on q little while longer and
spoke of the impr ovement already going on
in business throughout the country. The
silver men hope, il they can delay vote
long enough. that the condition of the
country will be sufficiently improved to
weaken the demands of the people upon the
senate for action. and in this way finally
get the advocates of repeal to consent to
some sort of comp omisc.

tana, and the Two Senators
From Nevada.
Over the Matter of Asking Gov
Richards to Help the Silver
Senators.
Power Says He Did not Refuse to Sign til Q
Krquest-Jones and Stewart Say
Ho Did.

Special to the Independent.
BUTTE Sept. "A Washington special to
the Miner says: "Tom Power to-day
stated, In the Senate restaurant, that he
had not refused TO sign the message to Gov
Richards, asking him to call an extra ses-
sion. He also stated that hs had never
seen such a message and requested his de-
nial to be published in the Miner, a. 1t IL 80
stated.
"Senator Stewart says: J am sorry that
Senator Power denies fact. 1t is not
creditnble to him. 1t is less oreditabie
than his refusal TO sign the telegram
Senator Jones sRys: I had charge Of tho
telegram and procured the signatures.
Senator Power refused to sign. have no
comments to make on his refusal. This 10
a matter for himself and his state. but he
must not deny the fact Of his refusal to
sign the telegram. He did refuse, and that
is the reason it was not sent.'
1.-The readers will settle the questions of
ve1acity for themselves. II Power wants to
be tho only senator from Montana, and if
the governor can be controlled by him, the
people will have TO be satisfied. At any
rate the senators from Nevada will not
stoop to controversy with Power. They are
very dienifed gentlemen and indignant
with Power"
