DEADLOCK OF THE SENATE.
Repeal Said TO Be Impossible, and
Cleveland Won't Compromise.

The President Reported as Desiring
Congress to Adjourn IF the Senate
Refuses to Agree to Unconditional
Repeal of the shepman Law-The
Presidents Supporters Not Numer-
Gus Enough to Tire Out the Silver
Men by the Continuous Session
Scheme.
Washington, Oct "A congressman
who saw Secretary Carlisle this afternoon
is authority for the statement that all
hope Of unconditional repeal has been
given up by the department and that it is
very doubtful whether President Cleve-
land would sign a compromise bill If 10
were sent to him. If the Senate will not
repeal the Sherman law unconditionally
President Cleveland wants congress to
adjourn or take a recess.
1t is reported at the capitol that Presi-
dent Cleveland said TO certain parties
that II the Voorhees, bill was not passed
he would adjourn congress. Just what
such statement means is doubtful, as
there is no authority in the President to
| adjourn congress until there is dis
agreement between the two Houses as to
the date of adjournment, one House
fixing one date and the other another
CAN'T TIRE OUT TUE SILVER MEN.
The President has been notified by the
repealers that it will be impossible for
them to tire out their opponents, since
only few of the latter would have TO re-
main in the chamber and could be re-
lieved, while at least forty-one repealers
would have to be present all the time to
keep up the proceedings Therefore 1t
would be impossible TO reach a vote by
this method. He was also told that nei-
ther the silver men nor the republicans
would offer compromise, and the repeal
ers would not without authority from
him, and the only way to get a compromise
would be by his suggestion. Their object
was to get the President to relieve the
situation by suggestion of his own, but
IL failed utterly, and both sides are now
pledged TO nothing but fight The re-
pealers who were trying TO get a favor
able compromise have made the President
suspicious that they are unfaithful or in
sincere in their efforts to secure uncondi-
tional repeal. If this feeling Of stubborn
ness continues, the only termination Of
the session in sight is the breaking Of the
quorum.
NO suB-TREAsURY FOR ATLANTA.
Acting Secretary Of Treasury Curtis has
reported TO the ways and means commit
tee adversely to establishinga sub-treas-
nry in Atlanta. He gives as his reason
| that Atlanta does an annual business Of
| less than $5,000,0O0. He seems TO think
| sub-treasury would be for the benefit Of
Atlanta alone, and does not understand
that it is needed for several states. The
entire Georgia delegation will go before
the ways and means committee next
Tuesday and show the importance of
having a sub-treasury In the cotton sec
tion. They will also argue the matter
before Secretary Carlisle.
Several Georgia congressman have
called on Secretary Herbert and recon-
memended Robert Lee Russell Of Athens
for an assistant paymaster in the navy.
Randolph Ridgely Of Waynesboro is also
an applicant. No paymaster or assistant
has been appointed from Georgia in forty
eight years
Lorick Pierce Of Columbus, who has
been appointed chief clerk Of the
bereau Of education, is expected here this
week
Speaker Crisp has secured the pro-
motion Of Nat Stewart Of Taylor coun-
ty to 81 400 position in the treasury.
Miss Eva Virgins has been appointed
postmaster Buena at Vista and G. p. Glow
er at Graniteville, vice Seawell, removed.
