DEMOCRATIC COMPROMISE AGREEMENT.
WASHINGTON, Oct 21.-The democra-
tic steering committee virtually COM
pleted their compromise silver repea
bill today. 1t extends the provisions
OF the present silver purchase act until
Oct. l, 1894, provides for the coinage
or silver now IN the treasury, and
retirement of all paper currency ex-
cept the repeal silver certificates below
ten dollars.
No reference is made whatever in the
bill to the bond question. Opinions
differ as to the time when the bill
will be presented IN the senate.
1t may be handed in Tuesday or
even earlier if it shall prove acceptable
to the majority.
The bill also provides for the coinage
of silver to be purchased in the future.
Republicans are displeased with the
shortage of limit for the Sherman law
TO continue in force and will probably
oppose the bill solldly. The populist
are also displessed with the bill for the
same reason. The bill will be taken
for an amendment to the present law.
1t is understood that up to 2:3O D. m.
thirty-six democratic senators had
signed the document 1t will be neces-
sary to obtain the signatures of forty
four members to insure it's passage.
Even then flibustering might prevent
a vote unless some mesure of closure is
presented.
MORMON FUNDS.
The committee on the judiciary reported
favorably on the house joint resolution
for disposition of certain property and
money amounting to S30p,0O0, now in
the hands the receiver of the Church
of Latter Day Saints, authorizing its
application to charitable purposes of
the church. After the adoption of an
amendment specifying more particu-
larly the uses to which it should be
applied, the joint resolution passed.
At $40 the senate went into execu-
tive session, upon motion of Voorhees,.
Jones did not conclude his argument.
Five minutes later the senate doors
reOpened and @ recess was taken till
Monday.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.-It locked at
A o'clock today as if the terms of
the democratic compromise on the re-
peal bill had been settled. At ) o'clock
however, 1t became apparent that there
Was an obstacle In the way of bringing
the matter to climax. There was q |
disagreement over the bond feature and
also over the time at which the repeal |
of the Sherman act should take effect.
1t appears that the administration |
members of the democratic steering |
committee discovered, when these points |
We're reached. they could not accept |
them as provided in the document.
1t IS considered probable that |
they viii make an effort to have
the tins for the expiration of the |
Sherman law fixed at July l, 1894, |
instead Of January l, 1895.
The conference came to an end with /
out reaching any agreement, but with |
the understanding that another effort |
will be made tomorrow.
Some OF the silver democrats aaid |
that If the steering committee did not |
reach conclusion by Monday they
would join with the republicans and |
pass Senator Quay's amendment, which
extends the Sherman law until January
L, 1896, or year longer than the best |
that is offered to silver men by the
democratic bill.
On the other hand, Senator Hill says
he has already received the assurance of
a large vote for his proposed cloture
resolution, on the democratic side, as
soon as IL becomes apparent that the
steering committee agree.
