WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE repeal bill
will continue to be the absorbing topic of
interest before congress this week. Today
in The senate Mr.. Teller may conclude his
speech begun on Saturday last. Notice of
speeches to come have already been given
sufficient to fill in the greater part Of the
week, and others are known to be in
course of preparation, so that in the alb
senee of an agreement of some kind there
is no reason to believe that n vote on the
bill can be reached this week.
Although he has not fixed definitely
upon the date of delivery Of his speech,
Mr.. Mills, of Texas, may follow Mr.. Teller
in the debRte. 1t is the current report
that he will advocate unconditional repeal,
and as the senator comes from a strong
silver state, and must thereby antagonize
number of his constituents, his utter
ances will doubtless be listened to with
great interest.
Senator MITCHELL Of Oregon, is down for
speech tomorrow and may be expected
to deliver a strong argument from free
coinage standpoint. Senator Shoup, of
Idaho, will address the senate Wednesday
In the same line and Mr. Hansbrough, of
North Dakota, and Mr.. White, of Cali
fornia, will follow on the same day, if time
permits, also with free silver speeches. On
Thursday Senator Daniel, of Virginia, will
have the floor for the beginning of his
speech, presumably for conditional repeal,
and this is as far as the program in the
senate has been fixed.
Snner,latipp IL ri tfn 70 ba of
the debate now progressing Thrty-t hree
senators are snid to have arranged to
speak on the subject, beside which ten or
q dozen more may address the senate be-
fore the close of the debate Mr. George,
of Mississippi, has stated that he expect
to speak about two days. Mr.. Jones, of
Nevada, and Mr. Daniel, of Virginia, will
each consume about two days, and Messrs.
Morgan, of Alabama, and Stewart, of Ne
vada, will each speak one day. Even if a
compromise shall ultimately be agreed
upon the final vote will not be taken
earlier than about the first week in Octo-
Der, Some senators are of opinion that
| the debate will continue until the middle
| of October.
IN the present unsettled condition of af-
| fairs it is impossible to foretel what will
be the program of the house of representa-
course Of action has been laid out 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 il or the time comes when
| the committees on appropriations and
ways and means have some proposed legis
| lation formulated for the consideration of
| the house. The bill introduced on Satur-
| day by Mr. Everett, of Massachusetts,, to
modify the Geary law by extending the
time for registration from May 6, 1898, to
Sept. | 1894, and in various other ways al
leviating the severity of the provisions of
that measure may come up this week.
| This bill is understood to be an admins
tration measure and early action is said
to be desired. The committee on foreign
affairs, to which it has been referred, does
not meet until Thursday, so that unless II
special meeting is called report upon it
cannot be looked for until the latter end
| OF tho week
