General expectation favors the passage ef thu democratic silver compromise. It tbo democrats will unltu on the amendment they can pass It. Whether It will receive any support from the repeal republicans is ex ceedingly doubtful. Several republicans have always believed compromise inevitable , but they have all Insisted that any com promise Continuing , silver purchases should bo accompanied with authority to accumu late gold by the sale of bonds. Senator Manderson has steadily main tained the position that the issue of bonds onipecillc authority so to do In case of emergency , Is essential to the restoration of public confidence and the maintenance of parity. The senators from the mining states will , of course , oppose the amendment , and they will have the support of Allen , Kyle and I'cffer. Senator Teller says ho will not , while opposing the measure , filibuster' ngalnst Its passage. ICIIort * of .Senator Sliorninn. The republicans , led by Mr. Sherman , will doubtless make an effort to amend the bill by adding an additional section authorizing the sale of a specified amount of bonds at the discretion of the secretary of the treas ury. If such an amendment bo not made the proposed compromise will bo almost as great a makeshift as the Sherman act. Under that act the silver bullion Is paid for by treasury notes redeemable in coin , the notes being Issued against the commercial value of the bullion. By the coinage of the Ecignlorag6 or the Issue of treasury notes ngainst It the measure of the security for these notes is reduced by about 40 percent and Its place is supplied by the act of the government , which consists of RO much wind. The seigniorage Is the difference between the prlco paid for tbo bullion and the coin age value. Dntnlls of the Proposed aionmiro. The bullion now held is worth its commer cial value , but if the seigniorage be utilized in the manner proposed by the compromise , its declared value In the form of sliver dollars lars would be increased by the difference be tween the mint value of the coin and the market value of the bullion. It is estimated that the mint value of the bullion now hold U over 50,000,1)00 ) in excess of the commercial valuo. The amendment proposes to Inflate the bullion now held and the purchases that will bo made until October 1 , 18U4 , with con gressional wind. Tlio treasury notes being redeemable with gold , sound business prin ciples and a proper regard for the public credit- require that the secretary of the treasury should have authority to provide for their redemption In gold , and this can only bo done by giving official discretion and authority to sell bonds.

The silver question will probably again this week occupy the attention of tlio scniito to the exclusion of every other subject , unless it bo some minor matter like the continuation of presidential appointments. Even though the compro mise bill be brought in tomorrow there- little prospect of concluding the considera tion of the question before the latter part of the week. E Senator Jones of Nevada , who has spoken already ou throe different days , announced last night that he would require parts or two or threu days moro for the conclusion of his remarks. Senator Teller also has on hand a speech which ho began two or three. weeks ago , which ho would llko to | y have nn opportunity to conclude. Tnero are probably others of the silver advocates who are similarly situated , They will bo given an opportunity to present the. matter prepared - pared , oven thouu'h the argument of the question shall bo definitely suttlc I. There will In all probability bo many ipcothcs In explanation of votes upon the compromise , but thcso will bo comparatively brief. Theru is a possibility that the com promise may wait , though all the proba bilities arc in favor of its success. If it should fall the throttle will bo thrown wide open again and no ono can foretell what the week will bring forth. Such a state of affairs would bo almost certain to force the senate Into a fierce fight over the rules , It is probable that Senator Voorhoes will make a summing up speech during the week if the compromise amendment Is Introduced. ConttroinUcr * Working llnril. There has been nothing done today In the vray of getting additional supporters to the compromise , but it is the intention of the leaders of the movement to push the matter at once and secure Hufllcient signers to se cure favorable action , U is their hope to obtain the coiibcnt by telegram to have the names of some of the absentees attached to the bill. Practically the banking and currency coin- inlttrn consists of seven democrats and six republicans. On the question of the repeal of the state bank tax the republicans , Messrs. Walker , Broslus , Kussell and Johnson , hide- pendent , are all counted against the proposi- tion. Counted with them are Springer and Spcrry. The democrats who are counted In favor of repeal Are Messrs , Cox , Cobb of Missouri , Culborson , Cobb of Alabama , \Vnr- nor , Black of Georgia , and Hull of Missouri. This leaves the committee eight and eight , with Johnson of Ohio doubtful. The men against repeal say that ho la surely with them and tlio repealers claim him ulso In i-ase they repeal certain clauses' which ho desires repealedx House rbreratt , The horoscope of events 111 the house this weak will hinge upon the result of the effort to nut through thu compromise at the other end of the capital. If the compromise should reach the house before the consldora- lion of the bankruptcy will , which is made n continuing order beginning tomorrow , is dis. posed of , that order will bo vacated to the end that prompt action may bo had on the linanclal measure , It is not expected , however - ever , that thu compromise bill will reach the house under the most favorable circiun- utanres until the latter end of the week. Unless it becomes apparent that there might bo unreasonable delay in committee , the bill will bo referred under the rules to tbo coinage , weights and measures committee. If there is a disposition to hold it there , a , motion will bo made to concur In the senate amendments when the bill is taken from the * peuker'n table. ThouUiludo of the republicans toward tbo 1)111 will bo governed by the cotirso of the republican senators , The silver democrats , too , except perhaps a few extremists , will follow the lead of their political brethren of the senate. In fact , no sort of doubt scorns to exist about tbo houso. It will pass , and pass with expedition , on any compromise that goes through the senate. A * to Other Measures. The bankruptcy bill , unless the financial measure dislodges It , will probably occupy the entire wcolr. Much opposition to this measure In Its present form has been devel oped. Messrs. Culborson and Bailey , demo crats , and William A. Stone , republican , nf the committed which reported the bill , are among Its opponents. Mr. Stone will open the light against the bill tomorrow. .Mr. Culbcrson says It must be amended in many particulars , , while others sar it can never pass unless radical changes are made. Ono of thcso changes is the involuntary clause bv which a man may be put through the bankruptcy court , oven when .It is not to his advantage or a majority of his creditors to tnko such action. Mr. Stone points out' many defects In the bill which ho says to the casual observer has not occurred. Ho Is opposed to tnu mil on general principles. There have been tnrco bankruptcy laws passed and all have been repealed. The longest maintained on the statute book was eleven years , the rest less than two years. ntvxK iritucK ricrmi.

Amos "Juryflxcr. " Van Alstlne nnd hl select coterie of political pals were filled with grief yesterday morning , when they awoke to n realization that tliw secret con vention of "cHlz 'is" ' had attracted outside attention through the columns of TUB BEE and that their doings of the preceding even ing were known to the world. Whllo the juryfixlug Amos had been pr- ambulatlng about town during the business hours of Saturday , peddling the personal in vitations that were rolled uuon to cot the disgruntled ones together , ho hnd been very careful to Impress upon the Invitees the ne cessity of keeping the program "dark , " and when he finally had the satisfaction of gaz ing upon his chosen associates collectively , ho was more than satisfied that the "com mendatory "well done , " of his commanding general , Boss Twcnty-olglrtcr Broatch , would soon come ills.way. I'ornonnel of thn I'lottern. And It cannot bo denied that It was an ag gregation to awaken emotions of some kind In almost nnv human breast. Occtiping a , very prominent position was Jim Kynoy fully togged out In his campaien costume , for bo it understood that Jim during tbo campaign , nnd ,11m "after the ball is over , " are two very different appearing Individuals. On ordinary occasions Kynor woaw a wooden leg , and manages to navigate with a scarcely ulsccrnablo limp , but when there are votes to bo procured , and when the franchlsed corporations of the city will bo satisfied with nothing else , Jim deftly un hitches his artiliclal underpinning and slides It under the bed , at the same tlmo pulling out a well-worn crutch , and thus equipped he starts forth to hold n series of post-mortems on the battle of Shlloh. That was how it was Saturday night , and Jim caused his fcllow-cousplr.itors to suffer from tlvo separate and distinct attacks of fever and ague , as he forcibly dragged them to the historic spot and compelled them to gaze on the fearful curnairo. Then ho hauled them over to the hospital and forced them to stand helplessly by while the surgeons were wielding their moat axes with superhuman strength in an endeavor to complete the work left undone by a cannon ball that had struck ono of his legs just after ho hud pulled the other out of the way. Five times did ICyner force his auditors to undergo this fearful experience before ho was satisfied that they could bo trusted to do their duty as mapped out by him. 'Anytiimc to llent Itomls. " Then there was thn father of Wallace J. Broatch , jr. Everyoody knows where ho stands , and how he got therp. Ho is a re publican , for ho said so himself ; and he Is going to defeat Mayor Bcmls if he has to bo a candidate himself in order to do it , and ho said that , too. He has just returned from the big fair , where ho had perfected several plans for secretly jabbing the harpoon into the republican nominee , and as he claspcO Dr. Mercer'sjvoluptuous fist in his two little ones , ho laughed gleefully with that three- aud-a-half-ounce-to-the-pound laugh of Ins In anticipation of the sweet , revenge that ho was going to have by standing up the corpulent doctor In the middle o : the road , and forcing some of the republican voters to go around the block , trusting that they wouldn't get bael to the polling place In tlmo to yote. Ho re llectively remarked that ho taught some folks a lesaon something llko a auartet of years ago , and he wanted it aistlnclly uuder stood that ho could stick his butcher knife into a man's back dud turn it round with just as much grace and as little compunctlot now as be over could. The portly doctor had turned to speak to some ouo else , but when ho heard this ho hurriedly faced again toward the speakei and did not again take his eves oft him uutl he had backed entirely acrois the room. "Oh , I don't mean you , doctor. I don't mean you , " soothingly remarked the slro > of the sad young man who couldn't help it. "N-no , ir-n-no , I know you don't , Wally , I know yon don't. Te-ho. Of course you don't. That's all ricrht. " But the doctor hastily continued his retiogrado movement until he collided with a pillar with a force that auzurcd lllv for the long life of the building. Wlntrr ol Discontent. There was Phil E. Winter , an Individual who was lawfully born Into this world and therefore has u right to bo on earth. Ho has afrend ! , who has been heard to assort that Winter has also another valid excuse for living , but no proof was advanced in support of that nbscrtion. Philip was chair man of the county convention , at which time ho presidca with such manifest un fairness and utter disregard of decency tbat ho was severely criticised by members of his own faction. But what brought him Into this meeting was the fact that ho had made a sorry spectacle of himself as a delegate to the city convention , when after the chair had declared Mayor Bcmls nominated unnniinousl.i ho arose and protested against it , claiming that ho had not votdd for UcmU , and he was unwilling to give the nomlnoo such advantage as might arise from a unani mous nomination. The convention sat down on him with considerable vehemence , and he has been suffering In mind over since , which made it a very easy matter for Broatch to induce him to enlist In the "Second Edition. " Kutltlcil to CroilnntliiU. Another delegate was Jim Birnaclowhoso right to a scat yns never questioned after ho had announced his name. Still another was Sandy Knight , who achieved a full measure of fame during a recent caucus by stealing Charley Coon's nose and carrying it around and pinning it on the back of the owner's head , simply because Coon had punched Joe Redman In the cyo. This defense - fonso of Redman , together with a record as a Twenty-elghtcr that couldn't bo printed on n perfecting press , made him eligi ble to prominent place on the floor , and ho noisily nyalled. himself of all his priv ileges. Joe Redman was there , nnd ho made no bones of defondlng the right of a populist nominee for the city council to participate In the nomination of a "citizens' " candidate for mayor. A Study In Phrenology. Ernest Stuht was there , and the two sec tions of his head the small part that prompts him to be honest , and the capacious portion that has prevented him from turning over to the city central committee the money that was placed in his custody as treasurer were tied together with n carefully braided hair rope , as usual.

The motion was put , but before It could be announced the Intruder had flea. Mr. Bishop was then noticed in the room and wa atked to declare whether bo was or Hernia or ngalnst hinu. Ho said ho was or the present maj-oirnWfl. was accordingly counted out of the pawfwow.

Ho needn't have taken it so seriously , for .ho patriots were simply wondering "how nuch ho had with him. " Jim Ky > 'or fulled Iiown. Then It was that .tvyner botran unfolding its military program , and there was no : hango tn the program for some time. When i did come it was to tell how ho was beaten in the city convention byRosewator's machinations and vlllMnous abuse. " Ho had started his stcreoptyptd roast of Rosowatcr , when some ono asked if Rosewater was run ning for mayor , or Ittho meeting was called to consider the question of nn independent candidate. Then It was suggested that Mercer was the man. Clialloo declared that It would be throwIng - Ing away votes to put Mercer In the field , as ho would pull from Hascall and Bedford nnd elect Bcmls , which was the very thing they did not want to do. And' then Langron denounced Chaffee , whom ho charged with attempting to "pull n huutcrd dollar out of Mercer's coat tails , and he tried it more as sir times. " Ho Insisted that Mercer was the man , for ho hnd known him "sic car. " Chiming Itntnbuw * . Then Abraham Ruhttln Sauer made his "God and morality" plea , getting Ike Has call and Sodom and. Gomorrah fearfully tan- pled up with each other. Sam Macleod , who , by the way , Is an Individual who dares to make promises the very thought of which would throw the original "Maoleod of Dare1' Into a trance , then took thn floor , and said that ho had carefully/canvassed the situa- tlop , and ho could promise l,700church mem bers' votes for Mercer. Ed Taylor said thn Union Pacific shops Would bo a solid "danks" for Mercer. Sandy Knight seemed to think that ho was losing prestige , Jo he promised the solid support of the Fif th.ird for Mercer , which constrained Colonel iCyner to remark that ho would take care of the Fifth ward and the cast bottoms without any Interference or as sistance. Jack Haskcll promised the united support of the whole street sprinkling gang. This crowd numbers eight voles. Henry Ehrenpfort , whom the people of Omaha know to their grief as the nonasscssor of the First want , divided his time with him self. He made eight speeches , all of which vcrnnllko. Ho uromtscd the solid support ot the First ward to Mercer. Any man who could not promise the solid support of at least ono ward had no business on that floor. .Tncolison'a Open Ilonit. Editor .Tacobson was burdened with the responsibility resting upon him , and ho hastened to divulge the secret that the entire Swedish voting nbpulatlonot the city , numberiiiE 8,012 , wasi wailing just without the door , anxiously watching for his appear ance to tell them "the rusult of the meeting and incidentally howitd vote. Ho declared that they would all vote-as , ho said , but ho wanted It undorstopj ! that in order to suc cessfully curry It oucit would bo necessary to start n daily Swedish paper , ono1 ho would need a little llfianoiul encouragement. He said thnt ho hvodiin Brooklyn once upon a time and his ofllcb waB'tho headquarters of 'all the republicans in that city.

Joe Redman appeared at tlio door , but a vlnk from the loft headlight of Van Alstlne vurned him that it was not time for him to appear , and ho quietly slid out again. And then Dr. Mercer stood up and for mally accepted the .nomination for mayor. Mind you , it had not been tendered him , but 10 was afraid that it had como about as lear as it was coming , and , ho hastened to cap across the intervening space with an agility that for a man of his years and avoirdupois was something wonderful. The nomination saw him'coming and started to run , but the doctor-was a little too swift for it. Ho cauzht it by , tho.hind leg and throw it fiat on Its back , and before it really know what was the matter he was sitting astride It with a pressure of several pounds to the squaw inch. d tlio Purity qf tlio llallot. He spoke of the purity of the ballot and the resources of Omaha , and discussed the advisability of placing n citizens' candidate for mayor in the field. Ho did object to it in the least , now that it had been settled that.ho was to bo that candidate. He said he had $ ' 200,000 , of his own money which ho would put into public buildings , and ho knew that with him in the mayor's chair the city would experience no difficulty whatever in obtaining all the money it needed ( o phsh public work in nil its branches. And the'n came tears , They wore the genuine article , real , wet , briny tears , and the doctor" sobbed and cried as if his heart would bronk in case lie wasn't elected , Kyncr rnshbd up and shook his hand , nnd told him that he was doing it in tiptop shape. TlniB' ncountfred , the doctor said that while ho had'Statcd in tbo repub lican city convention that ho wTTuldbon republican after thoj { convention as well as before It , no matter what the result might bo , ho didn't want ahyboJy to understand that ho hud promise * to support Bcmls , or that ho would nqw sup xnt Bcmls.

The most striking ot thcso wore flvo German officers of hign rank , whose martial bearing and superb uniforms astounded the crowd of spectators. „ No Hostility Shown. Not a hostile shout was heard as they passed through the Immense crowd. Three Italian officers were received In the same Way and the English officers passed without attracting any notice. All the Russian officers walked In a compact body headed by Admiral Avelan , anS they were saluted by the crowd , who , whllo remaining silent , un covered as they crossed. The lir.nicnbo wreath of palms sent by the kaiser , the great wreath of flowers tied by ribbons of the Italian colors sent by King Humbert and the wreaths sent by Queen Victoria and .tho prince of Wales attracted much attention. / < There was much fear that the gift of the * German emperor and the presence of Italian officers might draw cxpresslo'us of antipathy from the Parisian populace , but they re mained perfectly calm and showed political tact which deserves all praise.

The Church La Madeline , or the Church of St. Mary Magdalene , commenced In 17T7 and finished In 18. > 3 , was draped in mourning bands , presenting u peculiarly sad appear ance amidst so much fcto decoration In its Immediate neighborhood. It is true that along the route followed by the funeral pro cession them were many emblems of mourn ing displayed , especially In the draping of trl-color flags , which were displayed from windows on the streets loading from La Madeline to the Hotel dcs Invalidcs. The Church La Madeline , it may bo added , Is built entirely of stone , is sur rounded by a largo number of Corinthian columns and has no windows , It Is leu up to by some of the best streets In Paris , includ ing the famous Boulevard dcs la Madeline. Preparation * for tlio Ceremony , The coffin , covered with its black pall , decorated with silver stars and having on it the marshal's chancuu and sword , us well us the two black velvet cushions studded with the various decorations the dead soldier had received during llfo , including the Russian Order of St. Andrews , the Golden Fleece of Spain , the Legion of Honor , etc. , was borne at 'JH : ! ) a. m. from the front of the main altar where it had rested all night and was placed upon u catafalque beneath thu prand portico of the La Madeline. The front of the church where the remains of the oxpresldcnt'were placed in state , faces the Rue Royale , which leads from the church to the Place do la Concorde and by the Ponce do Concorde across the Seine to the Hotel dcs Invalldes. In front of La Madeline tlio coffin of the famous soldier and ox-prcsldent was viewed oy vast crowds. Tapers were nlacod around the blcr and the whole was surrounded by a military guard of honor , which drew up before - fore La Madeline shortly before the coffin was removed from the front of the altar to the portico. I'lncetl Amid IMIIowi of I'loworn , When the guard of honor had cleared the necessary space in front of the blor , count less wreaths and pillars of flowers were placed upon and around the casket contain ing the body. Among the floral offerings was ono beautiful disulay of lilacs and roses sent by Queen Victoria and Inscribed with the words "Regrets and Profound Sym pathy. " The prince of Wales sent a handsome pil low of tea roses and chrysanthemums in scribed "A Tribute of Admiration for un II- luslrlous Soldier , " The Moral offering which attracted the most attention was sent by Emperor Wil liam of Germany and was competed of violets anil lilacs with a largo palm leaf , la tut center of which was worked the letter "W" and the Imperial crown.

Soon after the French generals and German ofllccrs hnd reached La Madeline the Russian visiting officers , headed by Ad miral Avcllan , also arrived at the church In full dress uniform. The arrival of the Russians caused a com motion among the people assembled , and It was easy to be seen that It needed but a starting signal to have raised ono of these outbursts of cheering which are now so familiar to thu czar's sailors when they make their appearance In the streets of Paris. The Russl.tns Wore saluted by ttio ' representatives of the French army a'ud by the German attaches. The nnxt party to arrive was that of the marquis of Dufferm , thu British ambassa dor , who was followed by all the other mem bers of tlio diplomatic corps who joined the brilliant group of officers around the dead soldier's casket , forming a sccno which was singularly Imposing , * Covered ttio Housetops.

Admiral Melfo ordered the cruiser , Ropubllca , to sail from Santos for Montevideo and she arrived today. The cruiser and all on board were quarantined ana will bo kept there for two days. It Is believed hero that her object is to attack the Tiradentcs as soon as the latter leaves the dock.
