Repeal Bill to Be Voted on in
the House Today.
in SPITE OF F'l,susTER.ne.
The Free Coinage Men win Resist
Bitterly to the Very End.


wAsHrxsros CrrY. Oct. si--The most
intense silver men in the house will. il is
said, insist that the repeal bill shall be put
through by force and without any agree
meat on their part as 10 the time W hen
debate shall end or anything else. They
say they mean to be forced into submis-
sion The mode of procedure in the house
tomorrow will probably be-: As soon as the
speaker lays the bill before the house VIII
son OF West Virginia will move that the
house concur in the senate amendments.
and upon that he will demand the pre-
vious question. Then some one will suggest
that time be given for debate Wilson will
insist upon the previous question. Then
filibustering will begin. It Is uncertain
how LAUGH strength thes silver men will
have, but there is little doubt that these
men will have sufficient strength 10 cali
the yeas and nays. and that will force the
committee on rules to report cloture
resolution. This will be done If filibuster-
ing begins. The repealers have peen wor-
ried about q quorum, and today could
count but 165 members who voted against
all the amendments when the bin was pend
ing in the house before. and Ii all the other
members. about 80, who supported silver
in some FORM should refuse 10 vote on the
various motions, it would leave the house
without quorum, but il Is understood
they will not do this. Bland will be given
an opportunity 10 move TO commit the bill
TO his committee on coinage. weights and
measures. as such motion is privileged
under the rules. 1t will. of course, be
voted down.
1t is probable the rules committee will
fix the time for voting on the bill at some
time tomorrow evening. perhaps about S
o'clock.
Senator Blackburn says II is his purpose.
as chairman OF the COMMITTEES on rules. to
take mp the subject of amendment and re-
vision of the rules of the senate, as
authorized by the resolution introduced
by him and passed by the senate today,
as soon after convsning of the regular ses-
sion as may be practicable. He declined
to indicate what changes he would ad-
vocate or whether he expected to secure
the cooperation of majority Of his CON-
mittee.
The senate will in all probability be oc-
cupied tomorrow with the bill extending
the time for six months in which Chinese
laborers can register undef the Geary law.
Senator White of California arrived this
morning. He and SenatoksP Perkins expect
to speak upon the question. as do also
Senator'S Hoar and Davis, but ii is not
probable there will be any fsc,ious opposi-
ton TO the bill. There are some features
of the measure which White and Perkins
do not entirely approve. but as it recog-
nizes the principle that Chinese can be
excluded from the country by legislative
enactment they viii probably content
themselves by explaining California's at
titude upon the question. Hoar and
Davis viii probably make objection to
the doctrine. The general understanding
Is that there would be no objection to tax
ing up the bill tomorrow morning.

A RATE WAR LIKELY.
The Union Pacific Preparing 90 Fight
the Great Northern

CHICAGO, Oct. 3L-The committee of the
Western Passenger Association appointed
to confer with the receivers and General
Passenger Agent Lomax of the Union
Pacific on immigrant business, today no
titled Lomax that they could not confer
with him alone. The receivers must be
present or there will be no conference.
The Union Pacific has served notice on
the Western Passenger Association that
on November 8 it will withdraw from all
local associations in which the association
lines are members.
The members of the association think
this means trouble, aud believe the Union
Pacific is preparing for struggle with the
Great Northern. If the Union Pacific goes
into q fight on transcontinental rates il
will stand an excellent show of winning as
its mileage is shorter to the Coast, and it
Is now, under receivership, compelled 10
earn more than operating expenses.

motion was created among passenger
agents in this city today by the announce
ment that the Union Pacific Railway
Company hal given notice of Withdrawal

c!ation, to take effect on the 9th OF the
present month. lnls action was unex-
pected, and immediately there was a re-
port that the Atlantic e. Pacific, including
the Santa Fe system, would follow the
example of its competitor, and a
rate war was thought to be threat
ened. ID. w. Hitchcock. general
agent of the Union Pacific In this

reported near Waterville. The crime was
discovered yesterday. John Dougherty, q
farmer, aged 60. hacked his vile to death
with butcherknife. The deed was one OF
