AuMINISTBATION IS VIOrORIOUS
It la Believed that the Repeal Advocates
Will Soon accomplish their
. Desires. .
Associated Press.
Washington, Oct. 23. The senate met
at 10 o'clock this morning. The legis
lative day of October 17th continues.
The consideration of the silver repeal
bill was resumed. Jones, of Nevada,
lesumed his argument in opposition to
the bill.
The opinion Is now general that the
compromise bill will never be intro
duced in the senate. The reason for
this is that the compromisers have been
iinable to get a sufficient number, of
pledges to guarantee the passage of the
bill. The most authentic statement of
the number of pledges makes It thirty
nine, or four Bhort of a majority.' The
pledges are all from democrats. The
republicans have been appealed to to
help them out, but have all, repeal and
silver men alike, refused to Join the
movement. Th repeal republicans re
fuse because of the failure to provide
for the bond issue and because of the
provision for the coinage of seignorage.
and the silver men refuse because of
the short time the Sherman law is to
be continued. . There is a belief that
the two republican factions might unite
upon the bill, and with the aid of the
populists and possibly a few democrats.
pass it. However, they are still at
work among the members, and even
hope to bring the president to their
way of thinking. In cases of absolute
failure, the senate may either adjourn
to December 1st, press the bill on the
present plan, or attempt to secure the
cloture. Doubtless Hill will press the
cloture resolution If he is sure of suffi
cient assistance. .
Voorhees Jtated thla afternoon that
he would close today's session and end
the legislative day of Tuesday by
moving an adjournment till tomorrow.
It is surmised that this action may be
for the purpose of putting matters In
to shape for bringing up the cloture
question. When It became apparent
today that the compromise scheme had
failed, the silver men renewed their
old tactlce of calling for a quorum.
The prevailing opinion In the senate
late this afternoon was that the eitorts
to secure a compromise on the demo
cratic side will not be renewed. There
are Indications that there will not be
many more speeches, and when these
are concluded the voting must neces
sarily begin. The republican senators
will make an effort to- agree upon the
measure, which hardly seems probable,
and will try to get the democratic sen
ators' assistance or sufficient of it to
put the bill through. It now develops
thit there are eight democrats who
have not signed the agreement to sup
port a compromise. They are Mills,
Hill, Mitchell (Wisconsin), McPherson,
Vilas, Voorhees, and Irby. About the
only definite announcement made after
the compromise was declared on, was
that there would be no effort tomorrow
at the cloture, and the silver men have
reorganized their forces and are pre
pared to continue the fight indefinitely.
Whether this is given out in earnest or
for a purpose, some silver senators
have announced that when they heard
that the compromise bill would not be
presented, they would make no more
factious opposition, but would give way
as soon aa the prepared speeches were
concluded and let the repeal bill pass.
There can be little doubt that Senator
Voorhees had this in his mind early
in the day when he said that he would
ask" for an adjournment instead of a
ecess tonight, bringing the cloture
resolution up tomorrow. When he af
terwards allowed a recess instead of
n adjournment, he cut off all possi
bility of taking up that question to
morrow, senators maimer ana Mc
Pherson and other repeal senators had
long conference with the president
today. When he returned to the sen
ate chamber, Palmer said he thought
that the cloture -would be undertaken
soon. "It has come," said he, "to be a
question whether the minority shall
riile. It Is more important even than
the financial question. We snail nave
to have that fight ou." It Is believed
that Senator Palmer expressed the Ben
Ument of the executive. - - '
There is no mistaking the fact that
iany silver democratic senators feel
ereatly relieved that the compromise
amendment will not be offered. They
say that they surrendered all their
convictions contrary to their best Judg
ment, and that they are more than
willing to have the administration take
the responsibility of not- accepting a
settlement. Some repeal senators who
have heretofore stood staunchly by the
administration, are also criticising the
course which has been pursued in the
compromise matter by the administra
tion. The senators opposed to uncon
ditional repeal are still laboring to se
cure a n.ajority of the democratic sen
ators in favor of a compromise. One
of them said tonight that they had se-
sured, including Senator Daniel, Who
signed today, 33 names.

H
Krug's Defalcation Will Not Cost Se
attle Very Much.
Seattle, Oct. 23. The bondsmen of
Adolph Krug, the defaulting city treas
urer, together with the banks of the
city, have made arrangements to re
turn to tho city treasury the amount
of his shortage. Tho actual amount In
which Krug defaulted was$200,273. The
y took, possession of warrants, notes.
checks and other securities found In
his vaults amounting to $82,706, leaving
a net deficit of J122.G67. The bondsmen
have also made arrangements with the
banks by which some of the heaviest
borrowers of the city funds will be
able to reduce this amount by $40,000,
leaving about $86,000 for Krug and his
bondsmen to put up. Owing to the
financial depression but few of the
bondsmen were able to meet their
share. To save the credit of the city
the clearing house banks furnished the
$86,000, taking security for the loan.
The proposition was submitted to the
council tonight and will probably be
accepted tomorrow.

HILL MAKES A BIG SPEECH
A Brooklyn Theater Faciei with
EntliDsiastic Hearers,
APPLAUDED FOR HIS ' THEORIES
Re Bays that the Senate Must be Ruled
Uy the Majority or It . .
Must Die.
Associated Press.
Brooklyn, N. Y., Oct. 23. - Democrats
in thousands gathered in the big Acad
emy of Music this evening to .hear
Senator David B. Hill speak. It was
rnnounced as a grand democratic rati
fication meeting, and its promoters took
cccaalon to have a long series of reso
lutions printed and distributed. The
resolutions contained a pledge to sup
port Cleveland and the national dem
ocratic administration and demanded
a prompt and absolute repeal of the
sliver purchase clause of the Sherman
act When Senator Hill came to the
front the great crowd cheered and
half the audience rose to Its feet.
Speaking of the Sherman law, he said:
"Tne law is illogical In Its construc
tion, vicious In its tendencies," and in
jurious in its operation. The president
of the United States, Grover Cleve
land, has performed a patriotic act in
promptly convening congress an re
commending the repeal oi the Sher
man law. In a desperate attempt to
prevent or delay the passage of this
bill, the freedom of debate has been
abused. No matter what may be the
outcome of the present struggle," the
necessity for a change in the senate
rules haa been abundantly demonstra
ted. I promise you that the effort for
a change will be continued irrespective
of the fate of the present bill. The ma
jority rr.ust be permitted to dominate,
and control Its proceedings, or else all
legislation will become impossible."
