- ., the Shep man Law.
WASIINGTON, Oct. 24. -There was
an easy-going and conservative air
about the Senate this afternoon, which
has not been observed in that body
since the repeal bill was taken up for
discussion in August last. The an
nouncement of an agreement to let a
vote be taken had no more than been
made and come to be generally under
stood than the Senate resumed its
wonted manner of going on with busi
ness without regar: to the presence of
a quorum, and with due concern for
the bodily welfare of members, shown
by clnsing its labors at 4 o'clock. Dur
ing eafternoon Senators exchanged
ple: antries with one another, for
wb ;h many of them have had little
tin a and some of them less inclination
of late, owing to the strain imposed.
alike upon patience and physique. -
After Senator 'Faulkner moved-are
oess, two hours in advance of the usual
hour, most of the members remained
in the chanber chatting amoag them
selves and with those who chanced to
stroll in as if they had just returned
from a long journey and had not, yet
had an opportunity to talk it all over,
or as if they had become accustomed
to the long hours, and had become so
attached to the chamber that they felt,
loath to leave it earlier than usual.
When at last they got out and found
the sun still shinin'g, an iusual ex
perience with them of late. most of
tA.in drew a long breath of reliet.
,They realized apparently for the first
time that the end was really near and
began to make plans for the future.
They asked themselves whether they
were going to adjourn until the time
for beginning the regular session. Ap
parently they had riot thought, to dis
cuss the vital question among them
selves while in the chatuber, and where
there might have been an interchange
of views which would have been of
value. Left to himself and with only
his personal convenience and comifoi
to consider each Senator would proba
bly decide in favor of adjourueinit im

:aid that they expeetf d G;gress to ad
j.urn early next weelt until tht, itst,
Alondaybi I)ecember. Senator F-ailk
ner, who has aced as \roorh!-o,'s prii -
c'pal aid in te long tlt le which has
a most clsed, said, when spoken to
upon the sulj,-ct, that he believed aLI
journment would soon follow.

tlt committee finish its work. Most
o the Senators caine here expecting to
remain only two or three weeks, leav
ing their affairs at home in bad condi
tion. Naturally they wish to return
and put things in order before taking
up the work (if the regular session. It,
would be hard work to hold a quorum.
Consequently I think we shall aajourn
soon."
Some of the older leaders of the )em
ccratic party upon whom the decision
will rest were not quite so confident of
adjournment. Senator Ilairis said
there was a great deal for Congress to
do,'d.nd he did not see why it should
not proceed with the work without in
terruption. Senators Voorhiees and
Giorman refused to discuss the ques
tion at all, sa) ing it had niot been can
vassed. T1he conicerence of silver Dem
ocrats held to-day, to decide whether
filibustering should be re'sortedi to, wais
not large nor long continued, tbut upon
its decision hung t he Important posi
'Y tion of the possiume defeat o1' the bill
and certainly that of the (delay of its
pastage.
They simply canvassed the situation
and concluded that it was not wise pol
icy to attempt to make good the prom
ise they had made yesterday to tIhe sil
ver Republicans of making furt her op
position to the bill by the use of ob
structive tactics. TIhey made that
pledge while laboring tunder a lit of re
sentment over the defeat of their comn
* promise measure. Alter weIghing the
subject fuLlly they concluded that while
theiL constituents would jusiify them
in rfaking as strong a light b r silver
as they could make in a legitimate ndt
regular way the people would niot en
dor se them in resorting t.o libtustering
methods. They also recognized the
.fact that with a majority in the Senate
against them they would be compelled
to yield sooner or later, and that if they
should succeed in getting any conces
slon whatever, it would be of very
- smallconsequence. Furthermore,they
contended that if the settlement of th1e
que pn should be longer delayed the
busiidlss depression would be laid at
the doors of silver. Takincg all these
matters into consideration, as they
* also did t he physical condit ion of memn
bers of the senate on both s1ides whod
have been trute to the long siege, they
conclutded to re present their senitiment,
and yield immediat ely.
Senator Ilarris wits chosen to carry
the irne ssage to the l{epubbecans. lIni
mediately afterwards ai halt was called
upon an mncipient IIl)buste-r, andl thle

re- Gov. Tillinan Gives Vits Views to a le
ore porter on the SunjecL
er COLUMBIA, S. C., Oct. 25.-The views
)US of Governor Tillman on a metropolitan
police system for the cities of the
State, is of generat interest. A Regis
use ter reporter interviewed him on the
acy subject yesterday and publishes the
r of following:
I to The Governor did not expresq him
)os- self as being in favor of metropolitan
>tes police as a principle, but he said it ap
Iod peared to him to be a necessity, for
which the authorities of certain cities
lod and towns are themselves to blame. -
lad The eituation is simply this: In
tes, CharleEton the people are apparently
the in rebellion against State authority, es
.,1- pecially in connection with the dispon
een sary law. The city authori ties there in
b of their spite aqainst the dispensaries
was even ignore their own ordinance
ten against selling whiskey without a li
ies. cense and are aiding and abetting the
ur- blind tigers. The Governor asked
eet Mayor Ficken to have Chief of Police
ced Martin enforce the law, which he
the could have done far more eliciently
ad than any force of State constables and
without cost to the State. This re
l if quest Mayor Ficken declined to com
i ply with.
ner In Sumter the city authorities not
the only took no steps to enforce the law
not but stood by and s 1w a crowd of men
tax and boys assault the State's ollicials,
and keep this up for several hours
;ht without making a single arrest even
ved for disorderly cond uct.
ild The Governor's position is that
where the local authorities not only
aid decline to enforce the law, but permit
the and even encourage its violation. then
did it becomes necessary to have oflicials
ake who will enforce the law, and over
the whom the State will have control. lie
een would prefer the cities and towns en
forcing the law and maintaining peace
hand and order if they would, without State
ur- interfei ence.

WANTS MORE BONDS.
Wily Old John Sherman Shows I
Hand.
WASH INGTON, Oct. 25.-It is report
that towards the close ot the inforn
meeting of the Senate Vinance Comm
tee this morning, Sherman called the
tention of his Democratic colleagues
the, as be termed it, alarming conditi
of the Treasury. Ie referred to I
fact that the gold reserve had be
trenched upon to the extent of $19,00
000, the money being used for curre
expenses and not redemption purposc
as was required by law, and asked t
Democratic Senators what they pt
posed to do to remedy this condition
aftairs. Sherman asserted that the on
thing that could be done was to iss
bonds, for therein was the only mea
presented to the government to reple
ish the exhausted gold reserve. He er
phasized the necessity for this cours
but when he pressed his associates I
an answer, he learned that there was
disposition on their part to permit ti
hill to pass as it was reported to iL
Senate.
Sherman is said to have then told ti
Democrats there must be bonds, at
sooner of later, the members must con
tO it. lie sugested that there be issu(
a total of $200,000,000, redeemable i
the option of the government after fi
years and to draw not more than 3 p
cent.; $50,000.000 of this issue lie wou
lint Out in denominations of $50 (
multiples and stipulate that it should I
available for Treasury purposes I
once.
'The Democratic members and son
of the RepublIcans Im tintiined that th
autLhority was already given tbe S2cr
tary of the Treasury to issue bonds ui
der the Act of 1873, but Sherman tot

ing Senators Sherman and Teller
gether, but they soon found that ti
could not unite upon a measure t
would stand any likelihood of receiv
the necessary majority to insure
passage. The repeal Republicans
pressed themselves as willing to s
port a bill providing for the purci
and coinage of two million ounces
silver per month until January, 11
and also providing for the issuance
$200.O0.000 wort h of bonds. The sil
Republicans did not consider that t
proposition offered tnem much in
in the interest of silver than the D(
ocral ic compromise measure whichv
knocked over yesterday. They a
said it would be impossible on accou
of the bond proposition to get the s
port necessaty to pass the bill from
Democrats or the Populists.
Upon being asked this eveni
whether he did not think it would hi
been better in the interest of silver
the silver Republicans to accept 1
Democratic compr:mise than to refi
that and take in its stead unconditi
al repeal, Senator Teller said: "Po

would have been no chance of gett

its disapproval of the bill. It was
only imp9ssible then to get the a,
