MYSTERY OF THE FUTURE
WUliN WILL THK HIiJtAT K
VOTE ON REPEAL?
It Seenis to be InirOHHl Ijlti to Ap
proximate a Date The Frieudt
of Repeal Mot Gaining Cjrouuu
In The Senate.
Washington, Sept. 25. The situation
iu the Senate as day after day passes,
fails to show any encouragement for
those who are making the battle for
unconditional repeal. It is only a dis
passionate statement of the truth to
say that the repeal forces arc appar
ently no nearer victory than they
w re 10 days ago; that it docs not .-tp-
pear that they have made a converted
United States Senator for 14 days and
that the prospect for unconditional re
peal is not so bright as it was when the
repeal bill passed the House with the
unexpectedly large majority a month
ago.
That startling result and that phcuoni
cual majority gave the cause of repeal an
impetus wlncli seemed likely to prove
such public sentiment 1 hat would rush
the measure through the Senate linnic
diutely by deterring those Senators who
had been preparing to invoke the wiles
of the parliamentary lilibusterer. Hut
since the bill passed the House and there
has been no concerted attempt to force
the issue in the benate, and since every
advance movement of Senator Voorhees
and every demand ot the chairman of
the tinancc committee for a day definite
on which the vote should be taken has
been successively met by the vigorous
opposition oi the silver Senator:
wild me piain intimation that every
resource offered by the rules would be
inyoked by the opposition, the rcneal
Senators have apparently lost much of
tueir confluence and the anti-reoeal Sen
atorg uave regained all that courage
wlncli tliey temporarily lost after the
passing of the measure by the House.

Sheriff rushed forward and other friends
of both parties interfcrrcd, and soon the
sacred edifice was turned into a pugilis

were screaming as they rus'ied frantically
to the doors. The scene was tr.osi dis
