MUST PILE UP MORE SILVER.
Little Doubt But The Senate Fight
Will End in a Compromise.

The Members to Be Canvassed so
Thoroughly in Advance That It's
Passage Will Be Assured When it is
i Introduced-The New Bill Not to Be
Sectional Measure But the Silver
Men viii Be Given More Than They
Expected.
Washington, e Oct Is. - The Wilson
| VOORHEES, repeal bill, or substitute for it,
will again this week command the exclu-
sive attention of the Senate, but the indi-
cations now are that this Will be the
last week for the presentg given to the SUBJ
Ject in the senate. If the compromise
men do not encounter unexpected obsta-
cles their substitute win be prepared for
introduction by the middle of the week.
1t is part Of the programme not to intro
duce the bill until assurance of sufficient
support to secure its passage is
received. Consequently when the
| bill is once presented in the
Senate, it will be generally understood
that the end is in sight. There will be
some brief speeches in explanation if not
in defense of the measure, and some
longer speeches in opposition to it.
Being compromise measure. it will rep
resent no one mans views, and it will be
satisfactory to every one. 1t will be
composite picture of the opinions of Sena-
/ tors Cockrell, Jones of Arkansas, Faulk-
ner, German, Gray. Hill, and many other
| democratic senator's with snap shot at
the theories of some of the republican
senators as well. AS a consequence no
one of them will see himself in it.
NOT SECTIONAL MEASURE.
No more will it be familiar or to the
| liking Of any one section of the country.
! But il will probably go through, if intro.
| duced, and become law. The senator's
from the silver-producing states will be-
| the most vigorous in their expression of
disapproval Yet 1t is barely possible
that some of them will vote for it. They
will do 80 If necessary to get the bill
through, and in doing so will
not be inconsistent. They viii
| take the bill as choice
of evils, if it should prove to be at all ia
vorable to silver. AS a matter Of fact, as
the bill is now outlined, it is really more
favorable to the white metal than the
silver men have hoped for at any time
since Senator Voorhees, announced his ad-
herence to the repeal bill. The compro-

curing the assent Of almost all Of the re-
peal leaders in the democratic side and Of
making the substitute a party measure,
just as under the advice Of Senator Cor
man, they attempted at the beginning of
the session to make the original bill.
APT TO GET SOME REPUBLICAN VOTES.
If they do not get the support of the
entire democratic party in the Senate,
they will be able TO get a sufficient NUM-
Der of votes from among the repeal re-
publicans TO guarantee the success of the
bill. There are known to be several re-
publicans on the repeal side whose un-
friendliness to silver is of so mild type
that they will be more than willing to see
it retain fair degree Of recognition in
this country. If therefore the bill should
come in, with limitation in point Of
time and amount Of the sill
yer purchases, with a provision for
bonds for the preservation Of the parity
of gold and silver and without any refer
ence TO the removal Of the state bank tax,
as is now promised, it will secure the
support from the repealers on that side
of the chamber, if necessary, for its pas
sage The democratic senator's who are
holding out most stifiiy against COM
promise are the personal champions Of
the President, like Senators Voorhees,,
Palmer, Mills, Smith and Villas.
TO BE ACCEPTED BY THE HOUSE.
The belief is general that the House will
accept any substitute that the Senate will
offer and that the President will sign the
bill, when it shall reach him. There are
great many members of the House. who
voted for repeal who desire an opportu-
nifty 10 show that they are not so antago-
nistic TO silver as their former vote would
indicate. They also want the question
settled. There is also a general belief
that when the bill is once signed there
will be movement in congress, looking to
a recess until the beginning of the
regular session on the first Monday in
December. The outlook is therefore,
that in the Senate this week Senators
Jones, Teller, PETER and Martin will
conclude the speeches already begun by
them, that Senators Voorhees,, Allen,
Morgan and Stewart, may also have some
concluding words to utter, that the
compromise bill will be brought in, and
that IL will probably he finally accepted,
though there will be some more oratory
before it is put through. A recess is not
proba BILE before week after next
