echo in the breasts OF other Republi-

apprehension OF the Democratic repeal
managers hasty consultation follow
ed. and with great difficulty. the leaders
were induced 10 sanction proposition
for a recess from 10 o'clock tonight un-

When it came to the execution OF this
plan, there was an unexpected hltch,
and the managers found that they had
calculated without their host I'm omit
ting Mr.. Stewart from their councils.
That senator had gotten the floor and
calmly replied when appealed to to yield
for a motion 10 take recess, that ne
proposed TO talk until Sunday morning
without intermissi0n--a statement that
gathered strength from the noted prowess
Of the senator I'm the line of discussion
and his exceptionally fresh and vigorous
appearance.

reached 10 take a recess although not
carried ouO was IN itself significant or

with the consent Of the repeal managers,
meant that the continuous session, or
"sitting-it-out" idea. had failed OF its
purpose. As far as could be gathered,
the Republican senators were largely re-

serted positively that Carlisles VISIT was
inspired solely by desire 10 learn the
situation al first hand and from his own
obearvation. Nv 10 O'Clock the talk OF a
RECESS was renewed, and this time IL was
said that some of the Southern senators

rest. This led some Of the repeal senators
to urge the leaders of their facuoh 10
take the initiative In making a motion Ior
a recess so as TO retain the aspect OF
controlling the business Of the Senate
Following this effort came conferences
between Messrs Teller. Dubois and Stew
art and between Messrs. Washburn and
voorhees,, probably leaning in the same
direction.
