TELEGRApHIc.

senate reconvened the repeal bill was
taken up and the vice president stated
the question to be one offered by PETER
reviving the coinage law OF 1887.
Teller resumed his speech against
the bill.
Teller, without finishing yielded the
floor to Squire, who spoke in favor of
his amendment to the repeal bill, of
which he gave notice October 10.
The prospect at the close of the ses-
sion OF the senate this evening was
favorable to voting on the amendments
to the repeal bill by Friday.
Senator Jones will conclude tomorrow
and Senators Teller, Martin, Allen and
Stewart each desire to talk. So far as
learned there will be no other speeches
and when the last of these is concluded
voting will be the next thing in order.
Later inquiry confirms the prediction
heretofore made that some of the amend
ments will receive sufficient vote to in
sure their adoption, but it is possible
that none OF them will receive as many
votes as will be recorded in opposition
to the bill. The reason for this 10 to be
found in the fact that the silver men do
not expect any of them to carry and
therefore consider it unnecessary 10 at
tempt to have any of them adopted.
The majority of the free coinage men
are of the opinion that noting can be
agreed upon that would be advanta-
geous to silver and many of them an
nounce their intention of voting only
for the free coinage amendment and OF
giving no cOuntenance to any of the
other amendments.
The republicans have abandoned all
idea of introducing the amendment as a
party measure. Sherman thinks that
authority should be given for bonds but
he has seen the difficulty of getting such
| provision through all this time and
will in all probability not attempt it.
1t is believed that if voting on the
| amendments can be begun early Friday
the final vote can be reached by Satur-
| day and the bill sent to the house fol
| action. When the house shall have
| acted upon the bill there is very little
doubt now that an adjournment will be
| taken. So general is the desire on the
part of members to get away, it would
be next to impossible to hold quorum
| of either of the houses in Washington
even should it be attempted.
At one time it was believed there
would be an effort to pass the bill fol
| the extension of the Chinese exclusion
act. but the probability has been
| Rverted.
Senator Perkins asked the members
| of the committee on foreign relations
| to postpone their report upon the bill
until White is able to take part in the
| discussion, and he is led to believe the
request will be granted.
