Senator Kairia So Informs the Free Coin age Republicans on Behalf of His Pjity Colleagues Washington News. Washington, Oct 25. At 13:30 d'cloek to-day Senator Harris, acting for the ailver Democrats, informed the silver Republicans that the Demo crats had concluded that, after taking all the circumstances into considera tion, their best course was to drop the fight against the repeal bill and allow it to come to a vote. If this decision is not reconsidered, and it does not seem at all probable that it will be, the end of the present fight will soon be reached, and the re sult will be in aecordance with the wishes of the president and the repeal forces in the senate, for it is under stood that the silver Eepublicans will not undertake to prolong the fight be yond the time necessary to complete their speeches, and will after that per mit the voting to begin upon amend ments to the bilL It is generally be lieved that this will take place before the end of the present week. Senators Cockrell, Vest, Harris and Walthall were among those present at the conference which resulted In the Harris announcemen t. Senator Dubois of Idaho, who took a leading part in arranging for the con tinuation of the fight against uncon ditional repeal, said this afternoon that a vote would come probably within a week, as there would be no opposition or attempt at filibustering. "The speeches which have begun will be finished," said he, "and such other speeches as senators may desire to deliver. It is understood that Mr. Teller has something yet to say, and Senators Stewart and Jones desire to conclude their speech es. Senator , Allen also desires to make some further remarks. Yesterday leaders of the Democratic party said they would stand by us if we could continue the fight Senator Harris and others declared that it was their determination to prevent a vote from being taken, even if methods not yet invoked should yet be used. With this understanding we de clared our intention of keeping up the fight. This morning Senator Harris gave the same assurance, but an hour later he came to me and said he felt it his duty, after the as surances he had given, that he should inform me that he would not continue the fight as suggested, but would yield to the pressure of associates on the Democratic side. He said he spoke for the silver men on that side. I told him if we could no longer depend upon the friends of silver on the Democratic side that we could no longer keep up the contest and that a vote might be taken after the debate had closed, but that there would be no more obstruction. The silver men will offer amendments and debate them and will probably rote for all the amendments which promise anything for silver. It is impossible to say when a vote will be taken, but ' should think within a week." It in believed now that it maybe possible to begin voting upon the amendments to the bill by Thursday, as it (coins probable that speech mak ing will be concluded by to-morrow evening. There are twenty-seven of those amendments and it is possible there will be rore or less debate on tier the fire minute rulo. It is gener ally agreed, however, that the vote on the bill itself ran be reached by the close of the week. text or tuk RKraAL n:u.

SESATOKS EXCUAXOB VIEWS. Though the senate was called to or der half an hour later than usual this morning there was the usual want of af uorutn when the vice president's guel felL The time spent in obtain ing the necessary forty-three aenators was devoted to the exchange of views. There were many little groups of two and three each scattered about the chamber. While these exchanges were taking place in the senate chamber the cloak rooms were also the scene of like conferences. The talk all had reference to the situation in the senate. Some of it was devoted to the developments of yerterday with reference to the main question. A portion of it had refer ence to the advisability of bringing up the closure resolution. Mr. Pal mer said that be thought that no effort would be made to secure a vote until after Teller, Jones and Stewart should have concluded their speeches. Mr. Voorhees also said that he thought he would for the present ask the senate to continue its recess program, which would seem to mean that he did not think the time yet ripe for further discussion of the rules. Some of the silver senators did not, early this morning, appear so confi dent of being able to keep up their fight as they were when the senate took a recess last night The Repub licans said their course in this matter would depend entirely open the Democratic silver senator They had said from the beginning that when ever the Democrats should refuse to aid them in obstructive measures they would allow the voting to begin. Senator Kyle made a canvass of the Democratic anti-repealers before the day's session was very old and an nounced to his Republican and Popu list co-workers that the Democrats were determined as ever. He said that ten Democrats could be counted upon to stay with them to the last Half an hour after the conversation he had moved to adjourn until a stated time to-morrow and it looked as if filibustering had begun in ear nest. TRB PRESIDENT'S REAL POSITION. For a time agreements went flying to the winds but these were all upset by the emphasized announcement of the president's position, made, it has been learned, sby First Assistant Post master General Jones. So convincing apparently, was the representation of the compromisers, that the president was prepared to give the silver men the few months of delay proposed that such staunch administration men as Palmer, Gray of Delaware and White of Louisiana attached their signatures to the com promise measure and only seven on the Democratic side Hill, Caftrey, Vilas, McPherson, Mills, Mitchell and Voorhees stood out. The repeal senators who had signed were very much surprised to find that the administration had never given any sort of an approval to the scheme, would not do so under any circum stances and was as unalterably op posed to compromise of all kinds as on the first day congress met They declared that they had been made the victims of ' misrepresentation and several of them withdrew their names from the petition, claiming that they had put them there with the express understanding that the administration would be satisfied with the proposition measure if it did not in fact desire It The proposed change of the rules now assumes the importance it tem porarily lost pending the preparation of a compromise measure. Mr. iiill, who delivered a speech last night in Brooklyn, said before his departure: "I have never wavered for an instant in my conviction that my closure res olution could be put through if the so-called repealers had sufficient back bone to give it their solid support The compromise plan which I nave not signed and will not sign has blocked the way for the consideration of closure because many senators who, in my opinion, would have favored closure are inclined to await the pos sible settlement of the question rather than pledge themselves to a radical step." Kenator Caffery Is equally out spoken. "This fight," he said to-day, "has assumed an Importance far freater than the quektlon of coinage. I has been turned into a MoclalUtle attack on the constitution, as the right of the majority to rule has been denied; and I, for one, do not propone to agree to anr surrender. This con gress is opposed to silver purcha.es and the fight should be fought out un til the right of the majority shall be vindicate!. I would be in favor of keeping up the fight on this line far two years." iurai lb Domi. NriiBikkA t'lfT, tVt.

The case was continued till November SO, in recognizance of 73 each. They were charged with unlawful incendi ary talk and riot Those under arrest are W. Gierhart Mrs. Heald, two Mra O'Hornes, Mrs. Everett Allen Osborne and three boys named M borne and Brown. The ladies t some time subpected the two yot. rls of moral looseness and set a trat, catch them. Saturday evening they sent three boys to tell the girls that two traveling men were waiting for them, in an alley. ' The girls hurried out to meet the supposedly anxious traveling men, but instead they fell into an ambuscade which had been formed by the ladies and the two men and three boys now under arrest Tho girls were quickly stripped of their clothes ad pulled into a shed, where it was the inten tion to tar and feather them. One of the girls, however, fainted during the scrimmage, and the other managed to make her escape. Mra Heald, one of the prisoners, is the wife of the president of the bank of Polk county, a leader in an Osceola church and of several societies, and the other ladies are wives of promi nent business men. All are members of the Women's Christian Temperance union. COMMON KENE NEEDED. Temperance Unions Do Not Appiove Method of Nebraska Women. Chic a oo, Oct 23. The local Woman's Christian Temperance union women do not exactly approve of the alleged methods employed by their sisters of Osceola, Neb , who, in order to dissuade a number of young girls from the worldly practice of meeting young men, are said to have lured the girls by means of fictitious notes to a secluded place and beaten them un mercifully. "It is decidedly not a thing which the Woman's Christian Temperance union approves of," said Mra Wood bridge, national secretary of the Woman's Christian Temperance union. "There may have been some Woman's Christian Temperance union women who were so foolish as to act in the manner stated, bnt that is not the fanlt of the organization.

Iosvon, Oct 33. A dkpatch from Cracow says that a local paper there reports the death of General Oourko, governor of Warsaw. General Joseph Gourko waa the foremost of the czar's generals, with out any possible competitor, and had he lived and Russia become involved in a struggle with any other nation the mighty armed force of the czar would have been in his hands, though the czar or one of his numerous grand dnkes would probably have assumed nominal , command. He succeeded Dragomtroff, the "Russian Moltke," at Warsaw, ills first and last campaign was the Turkish war, and thus his reputation aa a soldier was made in leu than sli: months of active service.

A terrifU prairie fire has been raging in tha southwestern part of Holt county alnoa last Saturday and burned a strip ol country probably forty miles in length and several miles wide, consuming thousands of tons of hay, and in som places cremating horses, cattle and hogs. Among those who are learned tohavt lost by its ravages are Zenas Dicker-son, probably 200 tons of hay; E. M. Ogle. 100 tons and a part of his household goods, whioh were placed in the gar den under the impression that th house was to be consumed. Mr. Dick erson's house was saved only by extra exertion. Fred Schnedikln, Nelt Tnl lerl the haymakers, and several then have lost every spear of hay put up, which will work great hardships on these people. William Wbitler loai three horses, several hogs and many other things. It is thought thnt the fire now under subjection, but it has now al ready burned from the extre. e south line of Holt county to or near Stuart and it is presumed that one-half of the losses as yet have not been reported.

While the re cess of the senate expired at 10:30 this morning, it was fifteen minutes later before any business was tran sacted, as the last senator necessary to make a quorum did not appear un til 10:45. After some routine business Mr. Stewart of Nevada, resumed his speech against the repeal bllL He said that he had found that where the slavery agitation was most violent the human intellect was most active, and that in Kansas and Missouri there was a much higher average of intelli gence and a broader grasp of public questions than in any , other part of the country. With this preface, he read a letter from a gentleman in Missouri sustaining his side of the silver question. The absence of a quorum was sug gested by Mr. Power. A roll call de veloped a quorum and Mr. Kyle of South Dakota then moved that when the senate adjourn it be to meet at 12 o'clock to-morrow. This waa defeated 4 to 41.

That there la little probability of a strike on the Santa Fe system la the opinion both of the general officers and of the com pany'a employes at Topeka, The chairmen of the grievance com mitteesof the locomotive engineers and firemen employed on the system were in conference with General Maa ager Frey until 1 o'clock to-day and the) situation and prospects of m speedy return to regular pay days were full canvassed. Mr. Frey stated the case about ae he had act it forth in hi let. ter yesterday and showed that while the company would be able to meet its September and October obligations In November, it could not do so now A strike, he said, would not hasten payments a day or en hour. The visitors were satisfied with the statement and departed with the un derstandlng that the employee ia their departments would wait with patience until the company could pay. Mr. Frey is looking for the griev ance committee from Emporia. He -also expeota a committee from Argen tine, although he has not been offi cially advised of ite coming.
