wAsrrxGroN. Oct. 31.-Tresdent Cleveland
did not have the satisfaction to. day Of signing
tho Repeal bill much to tho surprise Of some
OF the enthusiastic friends OF that measure.
/ They ielt conn lent that in some way the rules
OF the House would be crcumvented ami tho
bill he put to a vote at once. They were disap-
pointed. and the bill remained upon the
| Speakers table under the rule which requires
unanimous consent to get measure before
the House on the same day 1t Ia received. To-
morrow the bill will be taken up. undoubtedly
for i'm mediate action. Mr. Bland will attempt
to have 1t referred to the Committee on Coin
age. of which he is Chairman. and he will also
offer free coinage amendment. There ia no
doubt. however. that both efforts will fail and
that the bill will lie disposed of after brief
debate.
The President will be naturally very much
relieved when he signs the bill and gets Con-
gress of his hands. M both have caused him
great anxiety. Special preparations were
made by the White House employees to notify
Mr. Cleveland Of the result OF the vote in the
Senate last evening. and tho information that
tho bill had passed was conveyed to him per-
sonally ny Mr. Thurber who drove into the
country especially to carry tho good news.
This morning the President received n great
many kilograms and letters. but it is rather
surprising that none OF the repeal leaders In
Congress called to offer their personal con-
CALCULATIONS. This oversight may possibly be
due to the fact that II was Cabinet day, and. as
the President does not reach town until 10
o'clock. he has no time to receive visitors
on Cabinet days when they do call.
Now that the Repeal bill ls out Of the Senate
and about to DO disposed OF in the House. the
question OF adjournment for few weeks
comes to the front. and the leaders In both
Houses find themselves at logEerheads Some
want adjournment until the time Of the reGu-
uar meeting OF Congress. on the first Monday
in December Others wish to take recess
until about Nov. %. and still others think that
it is the duty Of tho Democratic party to re-
main IN session and beg in work upon The nu-
merous import ant questions which Will come

Spencer Crisp thinks that tho work OF the
extra session is done. and that there should be
