amendments In already and nearly every man
who has not put one in has ono in his pocket
which he thinks is the ono that will solve tho
problem. Some of these will DO ridiculous.
some Will DO sensible. and all will BIO In the
direction OF q compromise None that are now
before tho Senate have the strength that un-
conditional repeal appears to possess.
Tho majority OF those who have been fill
clustering against repeal will do so no longer.
They are the silver Republicans. They are
disguised with the silver Democrats because
they signed the Voorhees, compromise. They
say that they see thatthe cannot trust the
Democrats and that they cannot furnish the
wind power any longer. Some OF these silver
Republicans also predict that there will be
voting on the main Issue before this week
closes. They want to shift the responsibility
for fllibusterinR upon the Democrats. who. they
say can hereafter lead in the opposition or drop
It. just as they like. The free silver Demo-
Gratis have not flibustered up to this time.
and to-day Senator Harris Is about the only
one who now asserts that he means to do so In
the future. AS has been remarked. he may
take this back tomorrow. The free silver
Democrats during the nlibusterlng used to
vote to make u quorum. much to tho disgust OF
the silver Republicans.
Some Of the Democrats may try to flibuster.
II they do they can call on some triplo-expan-
sion orators who have not yet famed the
Quxotic windmills OF free silver. Senator
Morgan OF Alabama can speak for several
weeks on his participation In tho Behring Sea
arbitration and his adventures in Paris. Sen
utor Coke OF Texas has pair OF copper

Young Mr.. Dubois OF Idaho says he is pre-
pared to talk till doom's day, and that he can
be quoted as saying that repeal will never
pass.
Cloture remains impossible. Is ls out OF the
question during any fight in the Senate. Sem
ator Faulkner voiced the sentiments Of the
majority and OF all the old Senators when he
said that cloture is not necessary to force a
vote in the Senate. for the reason that a vote
can always be had after subject has been
fully and freely discussed. He said. had
there been coture rule 1t would have
been impossible 10 fully rouse public senti-
ment. either FOR or against this financial
measure now before the Senate. This long
and tedious debate has afforded q good Oppor-
tunity for tho country to be heard FROM Sen
ator German takes the same ground. He says
that with cloture legislators can never fairly
Judge public sentiment. Fair and wise legis-
lation would be i'm possible with cloture
Senators Gray OF Delaware and Lindsay OF
Kentucky were seen together in the Hotel
Cochran in Senator Lindsay's apartments.
Asked how they had come to misinterpret the
position OF the President and Of Mr.. Carlisle.
they said they wished to combat the idea that
they miscunstrued the position OF either
official. They repudiated the theory that
they had acted upon the advice or dictation
OF the President or any member OF the
Cabinet. As Senators they realize their re-
sponsibility and brooked no suggestion or
dictatiou.- Fhey said they had no apologize
make for the part they played in attempting
to bring about what they considered a fair and
reasonable adjustment Of the financial prob
lem. Senator Lindsay quoted the Presidents
message to show that the com promise me asure
was clearly within the lines OF the Presidents
recommendations.
