Surprise Among the Senators
The Situation Today.

WASHINGTON, Oct. "a, 1Sg3.-Senator
Hills speech to Brooklyn last night gave
ruder shock to Senate traditions than
older Senators have not been accustomed
to hear their methods of doing business
so freely criticized by one of their own
body and TO an outside assemblage which
makes the matter worse. The New York
Senator's remarks have produced upon
the extreme sticklers for Senatorial
decorum the effect of douche of cold
water on q frosty day. Mr.. HIPS an
nounced intsn lion of continuing on the
the floor of the Senate the fight he hps
begun for d change Of rules opens no
prospect Of very lively times. and eff5c-
tuallY lisposes of anY idea of recess or
adjournment of the extra session il any
such anticipation was ever seriously en-
tertRiaed.
WILL THEY MEETf
Another feature of Mr.. Hills speech
much commented upon around the SEN
ate Chamber this morning is his hearty,
almost enthusiastic, endorsement OF the
admin ;tratton. This lends an mir Of
versiuliitude to rumor5 which have
been hearI for several days past of a
probable rapprochement between Mr..
Cleveland and Mr.. Hill. These states
mehts have been received with some In
creduiity, although close friends of the
President have binted that a personal
and friendly meeting bstween the Two
aud thai the Initiative IN the mat
ter had been taken by Mr..
Cleytl mi himself. The gossip
is peasanilg passed from mouth to
mouth with an amused reference to SEN
alor Buffers recently depicted imaginary
meeting as not SO much outside the
limits of possibility as it seemed when
uttered
STEERING COMMITTEE TOGETHER AGAIN
THE Steering Committees" who were
Dadly stampeded yesterday by the semi
official announcement that the German
conIpi omise was not az Administration
measure have rallied a little aud are
attempting this morning To outline an
other Dltn OF settlement. One OF them is
quoted as sayiug. ''If we don't do some-
fhinQ, fear the other side will" Mr..
Qaay's sudden cnange of base from au
uucompromisiug repeater to an opponent
OF immediate repeal aud an advocate of
almost indetiuite delay was not adopted
without some deep purpose fn view. II
sHsnect a tariff dicker behind It." The
Sc. timeu1 thus bluusly expressed is
heard from other well Informed quarters.
In fact the word seems TO have been pass
ed around among the friends of the Adj
mIu uistration, watch tue Republicans"
and they are doing it.
sHERMAN's WARNING.
Mr.. Sherman's Significant warning that
1t was necessary to get down to business.
That he condition OF the finances aud
other matters required immediate at>
teniion and that If the Democrats could
not di pose of the silver question the Re-
publicans would. has had its effect.
determined efforts will be made during
the ,lance of the week 10 reach some
end. either by cloture rule or in some
other way.
THE SITUATION TODAY.
I he situation in the Senate this morn
ing d. es not appear To have changed
over night but The Southern silver men
we're SO late in reaching the Capitol tnat
There had been no opportunity ut
e!ev O'clock for consultation.
The Eastern men are as earnest
as yesterday. and will continue the
fight If they have the assistance of the
Senators who last evening declared their
intention of opposing the administration.
The silver rei ublicans will insist, how
ever. that their Southern friends assume
their share of the SO called fiiibustering,
and give help OF a more material charac-
ter than mere speaking and voting
against the bill. They must not help
make quorum. The Western men say
this morning that they see no reason to
believe there has been any change in the
situation.
PROCEEDINGS THIS MORNING.
The Senate WAS supposed TO reasssmble
at half past ten this morning to GO on
with the legislative day of tuesday Of
last week. bat 1t was not not till a
qusrter of en- hour afterward that
forty-three Senator's "a qnorum)
had made their appearance In the cham
Der. The consideration of the silver pur-
chr sc repeal bill was resumed; and Mr.
Stewart (Rep., Nev.} continued his
speech begun several weeks ago, ana
taken up at various times sinca then
