/ WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-The pro-
gramme of the managers of the repeal
bill in the senate is to get to voting
some time during the day tomorrow on
the amendments to the bill, finish the
work on the amendments Saturday and
vote upon the bill itself Monday. This
schedule, is, of course, subject to
change. When it was arranged it was
supposed that Senator Stewart would
conclude his speech tonight. That he
did not do, and if he should wish to pro-
ceed tomorrow it is possible that 1t will
become necessary to change the plans
so as tc defer the vote upon the amend
ments until Saturday. Senator jones
will require only short time to con-
clude, and Senator Allen will not speak
at great length.
Senator Wolcott will make a fifteen
minute speech and Senator German
may also make brief statement.
There may possibly also be few other
short speeches before the close of the
debate. Senator Faulkner, after again
canvassing the senate this evening.
thought it would be possible if Mr..
Stewart did not extend his remarks for
too great length of time to begin the
voting by or o'clock tomorrow. The
opinion prevails in the senate that the
house will pass the bill when it is sent
over with very little delay, and the
senators are hopeful of concluding the
business of the extraordinary session by
the middle Of next week. Whether
there shall then be a recess or an ad-
Journment will depend upon the COM
mittee on ways and means. If the
Democratic members of that committee
are of opinion that the tariff bill will be
In shape for presentation before the
time for beginning the regular session,
a recess is more probable than an ad-
Journment. Otherwise an adjournment
will take place.
There was a we'll defined report in
circulation about the capitol today that
there had been an effort made to have
the Democratic managers in the senate
postpone voting upon the bill until after
the Virginia election, upon the theory
that the passage of the bill at this
time would have the effect of iniuring
the chances of the Democratic party in

PopulistS have made their fight in this
campaign almost entirely upon the sill
yer issue, and have made such headway
as To render the Democratic managers
somewhat anxious. The suggestion ap-
pears to have received some considera-
ton, but when it was represented upon
the other hand that the immediate pas
sage of the bill would have good effect
in Massachusetts and New York, it was
thought best to let the bill take its
course. Indeed, under the circum-
stances, with the bill IN its present
shape, il would be almost impossible to
check progress, and especially would it
be difficult for the repeal managers to
accomplish that result if so disposed.
Senator Power has spent a considera-
bic portion of the dayin gathering facts
concerning the silver bullion in the
treasury, with the view to getting sup
port for an amendment to the repeal
bill providing for the coinage of this
bullion, which Will be offered by him-
self or some other silver senator. He
finds that there is sufficient of the bull
ion stored to make S134, 900, 600 if coined,
and he thinks there should be but little
objections to its being coined, especially
In view of the fact that the Seignorage
of this silver, about So, 4,000,00O, would
furnish the money necessary to supply
the threatened deficit in the treasury.
He has been canvassing the proposition
somewhat among senators and finds
that it meets with favor generally
among silver men. There Is feeling,
however, among the silver Democrats
that the bill should not be amended in
any way at their instance, so that the
administration may have ali the praise
and all the blame for it when 1t shall
become law.
