THINK THE BATTLE OF WORDS OVER
Senate Leaders Say "a Vote win Soon Be
Reached.

Washington. October "a. - Senators
Voorhees,, Harris, Aldrich and Dubois,
representing the two factions in each
party, have authorized the statement
that they believe the fight is ended, and
that the vote will be taken on uncondi-
tional repeal at the earliest possible mo-
ment. This is understood to mean as
soon as the silver Republican Senators
have concluded their speeches, a matter
of a few hours on perhaps day or two.
One of the most active of the Western
men, as soon as the Southern Senators
arrived this morning, made q canvass of
the situation, and when he had complet-
ed his task admitted that the outlook
from his pointof view was not very en-
couraging. He reported that there ap-
peared to have been weakening Of knees
over night, and that many of those who
last evening had declared their intention
OF keeping up the struggle this morning
tion of the fight But one man of the
Southern delegation maintained the OBJ
stinate front he assumed yesterday when
the Presidents position was made public,
and it is said that even he will be drawn
off.
The Western Senator who made this
canvass is convinced that the Democrats
will get together, and in corroboration
of that belief it was noticed that the
repealers appear to be quietly confident
and are permitting things to drift The
SENATOR referred to. stated it as his
candid opinion that The vote would be
taken on unconditional repeal before this
week was over, although he declined to
permit his name to be used in connection
with that prophecy. The repealers on the
Democratic side of the chamber indicate
by their actions that they believe the
fight all but won, a nd say that the vote
will be over and unconditional repeal
passed. before Saturday. The Republicans
are taking no active part, but remain
patiently awaiting developments.
