The outlook this Week for the Bcnato Is very uncertain. It xvlll prolmbly bo n week of surprises , and Ihnrliln n. niivnthllltv of rcnctltim ntl mont whereby the repeal bill will bo defi nitely and finally disposed of. This will not come except through compromise. Whllo there has been no cessation of the effort to eccurc an agreement , the Indications are that there will be none until It becomes evi dent to all that the bill cannot bo passed or defeated In Its present-shape. There may be , as there has been during the past week , nn occasional discussion during the morning hour for the consideration of some resolution of Inquiry , but nothing moro. Thcro has been only ono formal notice of a speech to bo tnado , from Senator Call for tomorrow. Messrs. Cockrell , Kyle , Martin , Power and Uubols have all privately expressed thci-r Intention to talk during the week , and Messrs. Teller and Morgan will probably fin ish the speeches begun by them last week. Senator Jones of Nevada has not spoken during the present debate and Is known to bo preparing a very exhaustive treatise upon the silver question. Ho will probably consume the larger part of two or three days. Senator Cockrcll's speech will also bo his first speech of thu session and will prob ably bo long. All these speeches will bo In opposition to repeal. None of the repeal ad vocates have so far glvon intimation of any tlcslro to talk , except Messrs. White of Louisiana and Palmer. AH to l.linltlnc IH'Imto. The specter pf night sessions has again been laid. The truce limiting the time fet debate to seven hours a day has expired by limitation tomorrow , but Mr. Voorhces said yesterday that ho would make no effort to terminate It. at that time , as a great many of the republican senators would bo absent during the week. The democratic senators who are not cs pcclnlly Identified wlfh the administration nro still unable to reach an understanding on n compromise measure and are not making aio1 progress. The republican senators who advocate repeal have dropped out of the ne gotiations for the present. There Is dis agreement upon the amount of silver to bo purchased and coined upon the bond proposi tion. It may bu stated almost definitely that there will be no compromise upon the basis suggested Friday last. lluimo run-cast for tlio VtYck. Dubato upon the Tucker bill to repeal the federal elections law will consume the entire tlnieofthuhou.su for the coining week ex cept such unimportant matters us may coinu up in tno niornluu hour. Yesterday Mr. Patterson's announcement that the Anglo-Saxon race would dominate in the south no matter wlmt laws might bo passed to repress It stirred up thu repub licans nnd will probably furnish the text for some lively speeches during the cominir week. Some of the hip men on both sides nro being reserved for the finish , Bourke Cockran , Amos Cummlngs , Colonel Oatcs , Springer , Wilson and others on the demo cratic side , and Heed , Dolliver. Henderson and Burrows on the republican side , will not bu hoard unlil Ihu battle rages fiercest. The voting will not begin under the order until October 10 , a week from Tuesda5' . The hearings of tlio banking and currency committee on the cniTctu'y question and other financial questions pending will bo continued tills week , and on Tuesday thu hearings before thu marine and fisheries committee on Mr. Fithlan's frcu ship hill begins. The elections commit tee will also commence the consideration of thu Cobb- \Vhalcn contested case from Alabama on Tuesday.

FOR RAISING THE REVENUE Framers of the Tariff Law May Increase the Tax on Whisky. LITTLE HOPE FOR EARLY ACTION Him ) Vtito on the Now Illll May Not He nt this Scnalou nf Conuresi Uoncrnl Vnn U'yok's I'cr- lunnl I'lnns. WASIHNOTON BUURAU OP TUB BBB , ) 513 FOUIITKUNTII STItCnT , > WASHINOTOX , Oct. 1.1 A great deal of pressure Is just now being brought upon members of the ways and means committee to Increase the tax upon whisky In the tariff bill which they are framing. The tax at present is UJ cents a gallon , and It Is argued by many that It can bo raised to $1.23 , an increase of 35 cer.ts a gallon , and the burden will never be noticed , whllo at the same time the revenues derived from the incrcnpo will bo more than sufficient to meet the sugar bounty or maty othe.r ex penses Intended to help worthy enterprises. The demand for nn Increase of the whisky tax comes from two classes. The ono Is composed of-vhlsky dealers who are loaded down with the goods nnd would make a neat profit to the extent of the Increase. The other class is of persons who would cither Increase the government's expenditures or continue some which it is proposed to cut off , or curtail in the new tariff bill. Just how much the proposed increase of tax would augment the government's revenues is not known , but It would approximate ' 0,000,000. This would cover a great many extraor dinary expenses. It would save a great 11111115 * enterprises b5 * enabling thu present protective duties lo bo maintained , or ( f in ternal improvements or education to keen up the expenditures. While members of the ways and means committee refuse to express opinions upon thu subject , it is easy to ascertain that the proposition to increase the tax upon whisky is not popular. It is argued by them that it would Increase the temptation to avoid the paying of any tax upon spirits , increase "ir.ojnshining , " and bring condemnation from the consumers. If there is an increase it will likely bo only slight , probably 10 cents a gallon. Chance lor the Turin' Illll I'usHlnsr. It Is now conceded by many loading demo crats that unless the tariff bill can be brough t bcforo the scnato for action ahead of the regular appropriation bills , which must bo In law prior to Juno 'HI , there is but the slightest prospect of the measure getting into law within the year , oven though the minority is-willing that there should be tariff legislation. If the tariff bill is adopted by the house in time for it to reach the senate finance committee by the middle of January , there Is no prospect that It will get out of that committee , even with the most diligent labor , before April. According to the custom of congress , appropriation bills begin to ttr- rive at the scnato from the house about March. There are fourteen regular appro priation bills and usually a half-dozen deficiency and special ones. The latter ones and probably throe or four of tlio reg ular bills will bo in the scnalo before the tariff bill is reported from the finance com mittee , even under tlio most favorable cir cumstances. Ai soon as appropriations be- cin to appear they invariably drive off the fioorall ether propositions , being paramount to all others , as the5' provide for the running of the government. The regular appropriation bills , ninotcci years out of twent5 * , hold the floors of thi two houses of congress to thooxclusion of al other important matter at the long session between the months of April nnd Juty. I would thus appear that the senate , cvci though things go favorably , will not discus , the tariff till after next June , nnd so it wil bo an easy matter for the minority , with ad journmcnt and the campaign , and thei another big lot of appropriations at the shor session , beginning in December , to dofea the adoption of any tariff measure. rainier , Iliirifsoii & Co.

The faux pas of Altgeld in pardoning the nihilists has settled his senatorial ambitions , which have been causing him much trouble for years and induced him to inai < o so many sacrifices to become governor.

Almost every correspondent h.ts his own theory us to the cause of Bismarck's present illness and as to the exact condition of his health. The facts remain that the great statesman , on the whole , Is in very poor health , and whllo ho lms frequent rallies which give encouragement to his family and physicians , there is no real gain in strength and each attack of the neuralgia and Inflam matory symptoms are said to bu more severe than thu previous attacks.

The Gernun authorities are .said to be all the more determined to take this step , nb the military attaches of the French embassy hero are said to have been keeping up a ropu- lar spy system on the basis whicu Franco hail always accused Germany of adopting previous to the war of lsrO-71. There are people , however , who claim that the "spy1' agitation is the work of the mili tary party In Germany , which anticipates opposition in Parliament to the de mands which will bo made for an increase in the army and navy ex penditures , as previously outlined in the dispatches. In any case tlio military authorities are making the most of the alleged insults to German military attaches in France , and of the alleged spying of French military attaches in Europe , all of which goes still moreto confirm the state ment to the oA'ect that the feeling of irrita- tioiuigaiiiBt'Fntnoo and tholaitcr's spirit of pugnacity are increasing , and that unless matters change decidedly before long things will focus to a point which may cause that long-looked-for spark to fly which will set lire to Europe's powder magazines.

It fact there ure pcoplo hero who hint that tnero may bo serious riots in Paris and elsewhere in France upon the occasion of the visit of the Hussian Hoot to Toulon , for it is claimed that the "firecracker party" in France is al most certain to make the Russian visit the occasion for a demonstration against the Germans and Italians , not to mention the English , against which country the oxtra- cmonstratlve class of Frenchmen claim to lave well founded cause for resentment.

It had been frequently suggested to the pollco that It would not bo a bad Ideate to break up this assembling of very advanced Kngllbh radicals. To thosu suggestions the pollco replied that It was Impossible for tVpm to Interfere with the meetings of the anarchists groups of Manchester unless some formal complaint was madu to them ; the authorities holding Jint the pollco had no authority to take action unless the an archists acted In a disorder - manner. ' For a long time the anarchists kept within the bounds of the law and order , In so far that they claimed lo bo simply honest worklngmon nieetini * ; to discuss politics from their own standpoint. The discovery of the anarchists' plot to blow up the House of Parliament in Vienna and the attempt of ho Spanish anarchist Pallas , to kill the 'oimnamlor-in-chlol ' of the Spanish forces , seems to have aroused the English anarch- sts to n pitch of unusual excitement , for they commenced drinking immoderately , shoutinir and cheering at their meetings and making things very disagreeable for the loacoful residents of the neighborhood of their meeting place. . \MMn-liuiH * Ucnpurato ItrsUlanco.

The supreme council of war meets tomor row In this city and It will endorse the sen tence of the court martial , which condemned Pnllas to bo shot In the back. It Is thought probable that the date of the execution of the anarchist will bu determined upon to morrow and that It will bo decided to have it take place in private or at some early hour which will prevent the gathering of u crowd of pcoplo among whom might bo found some sympathisers with Pallas which might loud to more dynamite bomb outrage * .
