Democratic Senators Ftehtini. Hard
For tlie Viclory.
TWENTY-SEVEN VOTES CAUGHT
The Proponed Amendment Does Not
Commend Itself to Either of the
Republican Factions.
Associated Press.
Washington, Oct 21. The democratic
rteerlng committee virtually completed
its labors on the compromise silver re
peal bill today. There Is no refer
ence whatever In the bill to the bond
question. Opinions differ as to the time
when the bill will be. presented Irthe
senate. It may be handed In Tuesday
f.r even earlier If It, shall prove ac
ceptable to the majority. The bill
nlso provides for the' coinage of silver
to be purchased in the future. Repub
lican silver men are displeased with
the short time limit for the Sherman
law to continue In force, and will prob
ably oppose the bill solidly. The popu
lists are also displeased with the bill
for the same reason. The bill will be
an amendment to the present law.
It 13 understood that up to 2:30
p. m. thirty-six . democratic sen
ators had signed the document. It
will be necessary to obtain the signa
tures of 44 members to Insure Its
passage, and even then filibustering
might prevent a vote unless some sort
of cloture Is presented.
The committee on judiciary has re.
ported favorably the house Joint reso
lution for the disposition of certain
property and frnoney amounting to
tnree nunuraa tnousand dollars, now
In the hands of the receiver for the
church, of Latter Day Saints authoriz
ing its application to charitable pur
poses of the church. The Joint reso.
lution' baa passed. Peffer . then .. re
sumed! and finished his speech, when
Jones of Nevada, resumed his argu
ment against the repeal bill. '
The terms proposed for the com
promise In the senate were the subject
of a great deal of discussion In the
hous this afternoon. The fact that the
authorization for bonds is not a feature
brought relief to many of the republi
cans and western democrats. The dem
ocratic leaders are in favor of the bill.
and when It comes to the house there
will be a suspension of the rules In
order to give the compromise the right
of way. The democratic leaders feel
certain that It will find favor with both
wings of the party in the lower house.
The prevailing feeling Is that the ul
tra silver democrats, In view of the
necessity for the show of party har
mony, will content themselves with
voting, against the measure. A goodly
portion of the silver democrats will
probably, however, vote fo ra com
promise If votes are needed to secure
Its passage. The republicans will be
governed largely by what their polit
ical brethren In the senate do. When
the bill reaches the house it will go
to the committee on coinage, weights,
and measures, unless there is an In
dication that an attempt will be made
to hold it In that committee for too
long a period, In which case the mo
tion to concur In the senate amend
ments will be made without Its refer
ence at all. The consensus of opinion,
however. Is that it will be referred un
der the rules and returned to the house
within two days at the most Four
days after the bill reaches the houso
It Is expected It will have passed, anil
congress will have taken a recess for
two or three! weeks.
When the committee of the senate
completed Its sittings today thirty
seven senators had pledged themselves
to support the measure, and the man
agers felt assured of a sufficient num
ber more to bring the number up to
41, leaving only three more votes ne
cessary to Insure the passnge of the
bill by democratic votes. The senators
who are holding out against the mil
are said to be Mills and Vilas of the
repeal side and Klrby, of tne silver side.
Some of the repeal men have not yet
actually attached their ryimes to the
pledge, but the committee expect to
secure the names of all the democratic
senators and will rush the bill through
an a party measure, and without call
ing on the republicans for help. Most
of the republicans hope the democrats
will succeed In this, for the bill Is one
that does not commend Itself to either
the repeal or the silver factions of the
republican ranks. The repeal men are
pleased only with the clause limiting
the silver purchase to a year, while the
silver men find In this a reason to hope
for a .further extension of the sliver
purchases, and think It. better tha nun-
conditional repeal. The committee's
recommendation will be put In the
shape of an amendment of the Voor-
hees bill, and will probably receive the
support of most of the sliver republi
cans, while. the bill will, as amended,
be opposed by them. This Is a prob
ability against the passing of the bill.
It seems more than probable If the
democrats get the concurrence of their
entire party, In the senate, that the
republicans will make no effort at
united action.
The silver men. If all parties are
pleased, will accept the bill, as at
present the arranged bill will expire
In the midst of the next congressional
election, and probably there will be an
effort to amend the amendment ex
tending the purchasing time a year.
The .silver men think it possible they
may get republican support to put
this through, but all circumstances
considered. It Is hardly probable. One
of the advantn-e whih the silver
men find In committee Is the amend
ment, of the original bill, as it gives
them ground to stand on while the
silver tight shall be waged in future.
They soy the entire silver fight has In
reality only begun; that the present bill
la only a stipulation for a brief time,
and that it will be presented vigor
ously In the regular session.
ALL. CUTTING RATES.
It Will Soon Be Cheaper to Ride than
to Walk. '
Chicago, Oct. 21. The "Soo" line has
agreed not to make a $50 rate from St.
Paul to Portland and a $65 rate to Snn
Francisco until there is an opportu
nity to harmonize matters. It has
also agreed to withdraw all reduced
rates , from St. Paul to the -Pacific
Coast is the same concession Is made
by the Missouri river roads.
St. Paul, Oct. 21. Commencing' with
Oct. SO ithe Northern. Pacific will sell
round trip tickets from Its eastern
terminals to Portland and return at a
rate of $65. These tickets will bear a
final limit of April 30, 1894, the transit
limit being ten days in each direction.
Stogovers will be allowed west of Pas
co Stinctlon, regardless of transit limit.
On the same date this road will com
mence the sale of similar tickets to
San Francisco and return at $85. amino-
via Portland, and returning via direct
lines to the Missouri river. To Los
Angeles and return via Portland, re
turning via Ogden to the Missouri riv
er, the rate will be $90. This Is a cut
of $16 on the round trip tickets to the
Pacific coast, and a cut of $20 on the
other trips mentioned.
SOME STARTLING EVIDENCE.
A Witness In. a Case Opens the Eyes
,? . of the) Grand Jury.
Portland, Or., Oct. 21. In Judge Mun.
ly's court today a man named Bruce,
in the course of his testimony In a
larceny case, testified that gambling
was carried on openly In Portland, and
that minors were allowed around the
tables. This statement created a flut
ter in the court, as the grand Jury
about two weeks ago made an Investi
gation and reported to the court that
the chief of police and his force were
enforcing the law and that the charges
of bribery agalns tthe chief were false.
Judge Munly called the grand Jury to
gether and Instructed them to Investi
gate the statement made by Bruce,
adding that It was the duty of peace
officers to lend their assistance and
that It was the duty of the grand jury
to Investigate the peace officers.

ably be the last as the result of the

Associated Press.
Portland, Or., Oct. 21. In the beau
tiful football weather today nnd In the
presence of a large crowd of people on
the Multnomah field, the home team
won a decisive victory from the Astoria
football club, scoring four goals one
after the other, while their opponents
failed to pot the bnll between the
sticks once. During the first half of
the game the visitors played snlendlil
ly, running all around their opponents
and astonishing them somewhat with
their neat exhibition of priming piny.
They foiled to score, however, though
repeated attempts were made, and Just
before the call of half time the Port
lands' claimed a foul. This claim was
disputed by Astoria, but was allowed
by the umpire, and the free kick that
followed resulted In first blued for the
home men. On resuming for tlie" sec
ond half, a great- change was noticea
ble In the play of the seaport boys.
They seemed listless and discouraged,
over the manner In which the first
goal was scored, and their work had
none of the dash that was noticeable
In the early part of the game. The
result was that Portland scored three
more goals In quick succession, des
pite the fine work of the visitors' back
line who put up a stubborn defense
throughout. The spectators were de
lighted with the contest, and while
generous in their applause for the A.
F.. C. representatives, did not foriret
to henrtlly cheer the local club for Its
splendid victory. Portland put up a
fine, hard, scientific game thruoghout
and though at times matters were very
close, the best men won. The Astoria
team will leave for home with the rest
of the excursion party tomorrow night.
