WASHINGTON, D. c., October 99.-If
Senator Voorhees, calculations do not
miscsrry the repeal bill will be disposed
of bv the Senate between ? o'clock and
the hour OF adjournment tomorrow.
There will be a few speeches on the
subject during the day and few more
amendments offered and in all prooa-
billty voted down, after which the vote
on the main question will be taken
The bill will be passed by a majority OF
ten or possibly eleven votes and the
long contest will be ended and the pur-
chasing clause Of the Sherman act ex-
punred from the books, so far as IL lies
in the power OF the Senate TO 90 that.
With the silver phase OF the financial
question out of the way, the Senate
will be ready to either adjourn until
the beginning OF the regular congress
sional session in November or TO take
recess until some specified time previ-
GUS TO the 4th Of December. with the
pressure removed, it is probable that
the Senate will tomorrow for the first
time for almost two weeks adjourn after
the conclusion of the days business un-
iii noon the next day, after which the
sessions will run along regularly.
In accordance with the custom OF
that body, until some other emergency
arises to create change, it Is probable
that the Senate will, during the week,
dispose of the House bill extending the
time In which Chinese laoorers be al
lowed TO register. This bill will be re-
ported to the Senate by its Committee
on Foreiga Relations tomorrow ana the
supposition is that 1t will be taken up
promptly after the passage OF the re-
neal bill, as the administration is under
stood TO be desirous Of having the bill
become a law before adjournment.
II the House should lose any time IN
dIsposiug OF the repeal bill, the Senate
has quite a large calender upon which
IL can draw for working material. The
Federal election bill could be taken up
if desired, but il will be allowed to 60
over until the regular session. The
pEahsbilittes are that if after the repeal
there should be time for other work, il
will be devoted to the private bills and
other measures Of minor importance on
the calendar. There will also be an ef.
fort to clear up the executive business.
II the Committee on the Judiciary sue
ceeds in securing quorum tomorrow.
the nomination Of Judge Ho.nblower TO
be Justice of the Supreme Court will be
considered and probably reported favor
ably, and the nomination confirmed by
| the Senate later in the week
Senators are counting upon an ad-
! journment or a recess by Thursday.
Which 1t shall be will depend wholly
upon the wishes OF the Committee on
Ways and Means. Prominent members
Of the House assure Senators that the
House will dispose OF the repeal bill In
one day after receiving 1t.
The House will lay aside the bank
ruptcy bill this week as soon as the re-
peal bill comes back from the Senate.
The friends Of the former measure have
given up all hopes Of securing a vote
on 1t at this session. When the repeal
bill comes to the House tomorrow even
ing or Tuesday, II the unexpected does
not happen, Mr.. Wilson will be recog-
uized TO move concurrence In the Senate

disposition to flibuster, but II they
should try such tactics a rule will be
brought in by the committee on rules
that will force an immediate vote. A
few hours may be allowed before the
previous question calling off all debate
except forty minutes is demanded. Al
though Mr.. Bland and the extreme sill
yer men. and indeed even some OF the
repeal men, would like the declaratOry
clause of the Voorhees, substitute
stricken out, they will be outvoted.
The repeal men have been telegraphed
to be here, and they will expect 260
members present when the bill comes
10 the House.
