SALT LAKE, Oct ga special from
Washington last evening says that with
in "a hours the apparent certainty Of 4
compromise ~ changed into the danger
OF the passage Of the unconditional repeal
bill, when within six votes of securing
the necessary majority Of Democrats for
the passage of the measure and when
everyone was anticipating its introduc-
ton by Senator Voorhees, either TODAY
or tomorrow. Last night Cleveland sent
out his ultimstum and this morning fol.
lowed it by vigorous expressions Of con.
domination, which were promptly carried
to the Senate chamber, consequence of
which was the assurance of the admins.
tration Democrats to fight to a finish.
and that the attempt to wear out the
friends of silver would be carried on from
day to day.
The opinion is now general among Sem
ators who will discuss the question at all,
that the compromise bill over which they
were so sanguine Saturday will never be
introduced in the Senate. The reason
for this is that the compromises have
been unable to get sufficient number of
pledges to guarantee the passage of the
bill, aud they have said from the begin.
ming that unless they could secure ma.
lority they would not introduce it.
WASHINGTON. Oct. "a. Yesterday
Senator Jones resumed his speech in op.
position to the unconditional repeal bill.
Senator Stewart gave notice of an
amendment to the repeal bill providing
for Pan.American monetary conference
for the purpose of adopting q common
silver coin to be legal tender between the
countries represented. 1t is thought this
arrangement will force Europe to adopt
free coinage.
President Cleveland killed the Senate
compromise measure and the fight for
unconditional repeal is still on. There
~srs i"dis-siSae- oe -----.--1n the uart Of
the Silver Senators yesterday. but tbsr
quietly rallied and announced their de.
termination to keep up the fight.
1t is proposed by cooperation of the
Mexican and United States governments
to make the Colorado river navigable for
300 miles from its mouth which would
bring navigation within reach of the min.
ing camps along the northern boundary of
Arizona.
NEW YORK, Oct 25.--Although q.
$50, 600 ounces of silver bullion were
offered to the Treasury Department
yesterday, no purchases were made, az IL
was held at above market price.
1t is stated positively that tho Corbett-
Mitchell fight will come off about the
date originally named. If it cannot be
held at Coney Island the sluggers will
probably go to some southern city.
SALT LAKE, Oct. 25.--Word from
Washington last evening brought the
news that the Western Senators had
been deserted by those of the South and
the last ditchers are stampeded. The
Southern Senators announced that thew
would no longer oppose vote on the re.
peal bill and the Republican silver Sena.
tors gave up the fight. 1t is expected
that the repeal bill will DO passed before
the end of the week.
Additional information is contained in
Especial dispatch received at an early
hour this morning. 1t seems that the
indications are that vote will soon be
reached in the Senate. There is still
remote hope that the opponents of repeal
will be able to get in an amendment, but
generally speaking, their fight is practi.
cally at an end. How tho Southern
Senators betrayed the silver cause was in
this manner; 4At 1890 Senator Harris,
acting for the silver Democrats, informed
the silver Republicans that the Demo.
orats had concluded, after taking all the
circumstances into consideration, that
their best course was to desert the eight
against repeal and allow it to come to y
vote. This will end the past fight, said
be, and the result will be in accordance
with the Presidents wishes and those Of
the repealers in the Senate.
The silver Senators will not undertake
to prolong the fight beyond the time
necessary to complete their arguments.
