Bet-liu, cVt. St—The semi-official dai
lies continued until Friday morning to
deny the reports of dissensions be
tween Chaucellor Von Capri vi and
Count Eulenberg. the Prussian prime min
ister. All references to a quarrel
between the premiere were pronounced as
pure inventions. Ot Friday and Satur

the trouble. He told the emperor ho

Nevertheless the Agrarians openlv
accuse him of assisting candidates who
favor tariff reform policy. These charges
hare produced such a state of auareh.v in
: the corps of the Prussian officials as has
never been known before in the kingdom.
; This splitting of the bureaucracy

organs reiterate jubilantly, “We told you

! must adhere to Chancellor Von Caprivi,
who retains the entire confidence of his
j sovereign.
A HARD FKIHT FOR TUB CHANCELLOR.
It is admitted generally that the fight
is a hard cue for the chancellor. He has
few strong friends and a host of power
ful enemies. The agrarian members of
tho Russian treaty committee, finding tha
chancellor unyielding, have abandoned
the attitude of uncompromising opposi
tion to the treaty and have offered to as
sent to a reduction of the import duties on
Russian groin on condition that it shall
not be less than 5 marks per centimeter;
also that the duty sha’l bo raised as the
value of the rouble falls, and lowered as
the rouble rises. Obviously, such an ar
rangement would open the way to wild
speculation in rouble notes. That the
agrarians will concede even that small
amount indicates a sign of weakness in
their position.
Ki SSLA AN"V. ■ INCH.
Gen. Vet f Werdor, the German embas
sador to Russia, who is returning from a
: three-weeks' sojourn in Wiesbaden to his
\ official post, had an audience with tho
; emperor in Potsdam yesterday. Tho
! meeting could hardly have been agreeable
!to the general, as he informed the
emperor and Caprivi concerning the
char's instructions to Baron Horeuheim
and Admiral Aveian, before the French
fetes. Nothing could have been more ex
plicit than the etnr's assurance that he
did not desire to encourage French dem
onstration. It was expected in Berlin
that jx'ssibly the French fervar would in
fect the Russians, perhaps even the war,
I but matters have gone further. It is
i sicnifieaut that since the ciar’s visit
to tho French cruiser Isly, of
I Copenhagen, the Russian press has been
allowed to run riot in the matter of
Russo-French relations. On Friday, for
instance, the Moscow Garotte pro
claimed tha, henceforth France and Rus
sia would eo hand in hand aud shoulder
to shoulder through evil fortuue. and
would remain allies forever, defying the
triple alliance on laud and menacing
England's supremacy ou the sea.

FATE OF THE COMPROMISE.
The Measure’s Passage Not Certain
But Probable.

Support tho Agreement Not Seoured
Vet.
Washington, Oct. 22.—Tho silver ques
tion will probably again this vrivk occupy
the attention of tho Senate to tho exclu
sion of every other subject, unless it is
some minor matter, like the confirmation
of presidential appointments. Even
though the compromise bill be brought in
to morrow, there is little prospect of con
cluding the consideration of tin- question
before the latter part of the week. Sen
ator Jones, of Nevada, who has spoken
already on three different days, announced
last night that ho would require parts of
two or three days more for tlio conclusion
of his remarks. Senator Toller also has
ou hand a speech which ho began two or
three weeks since, which ho would like to
have an opportunity to conclude. There
are probably others of the silver advo
cates who are similarly situated.
All. TO BE UtVEN A SHOW.
They will be given an opportunity to
present the matter prepared, even though
tho adjustment of the question shall be
definitely settled. There will also in alt
probability be many speeches in explana
tion of the votes upon the compromise,
but these will be comparatively brief.
There is a possibility that the compro
mise may fail, though all tho probabilities
tiro in favor of Its success. If It should
fail, tho throttle will bo thrown wide
open again, and no one ean foretell what
the week might bring forth. Such a state
cf affairs would almost certainly force
the Senate into a fierce fight over the
rules. It is probable that Senator Voor
hce? will make a summing up speech dur
ing the week of tho compromise amend
ment as it is introduced.
NO NEW SIGNATURES OBTAINED YET.
There has been nothing done to-day in
the way of getting additional supporters
to the proposed compromise bill. It is
the intention of the leaders of the move
ment to push tho matter at once and se
cure sufficient signers to secure favorable
action. It is their hope to obtain consent
by telegraph to have tho names of some
absent senators attached to the bill.

ministration. said to-night: "The
President adheres to the position that tho
purchasing clause of tho Sherman law
should be unconditionally repealed. The
lower House of congress voted for the re
peal by an overwhoming majority: a
majority m the Senate is iu favor
of unconditional repeal and the sentiment
of the country demands the passage of
the pending bill. It is not true that Sec
retary Carlisle has been or is in
favor of the compromise which was sub
scribed to bv a number of senators on
Saturday, fie and the other members of
the cabinet are opposed to it.”
FINANCIAL LEGISLATION.
The Tariff Bill and Income Tax Mat
ters to he Pushed.
Washington, Oct. 23. —All tho demo
cratic members of the ways and means
committee engaged in the preparation of
the tariff bill agree that it is desirable to
have the bill reported to tho House at the
earliest day possible. Most of them
think it can bo reported within a month.
The income tax sentiment is growing
among the democrats of the House. It
is admitted that sonseother taxation thau
that in force will be necessary, as the
members of the majority say
tho bill means a decrease
in revenues derived from imports
of at least #25,(XX),000. without taking
into consideration tho present desfieirn
eies. It is now intended to make up tho
present deficit by the coinage of the
seignorage of silver in the treasury, but
tho deficiency under the new tariff bill
can not he disposed of in any other way
thau by some other mode of taxation.
NO NEW BUILDING BILLS.
It Is understood that there will be no
public building! bills pass 'd at this con
gress. Tho showing by the treasury de
partment that many buildings are far
from being completed. and that
more than twenty-five ordered
in the Fifty-first congress have
not yet been begun, seems to have con
vinced the members of the committee on
public buildings and grounds that it
would be useless to try to get through
any buildings bill at this congress.
The committee on public lands will
wrestle this week against tho Hudson
resolution asking for an investigation of
the opening of the Cherokee strip. The
probabilities are against any investiga
tion beiug made, as the matter has as
sumed a partisau phase.

THIS WEEK IN THE HOUSE.
The Bankruptcy Bill to Hold the
Floor Unless the Repeal Bill is Sent
Over.
Washington, Oct. 22.—-The course of
events in the House during the coming I
week will hinge upon tho result of the ;
effort to put through the compromise at
the other end of tho capltol. If the com
promise should reach the House before
the consideration of the bankruptcy bill,
which Is made a continuing order begin
ning to-morrow, is disposed of, that order
will be vacated to tho end that prompt
action may bo had on the financial
measure. It is not expected that the
compromise bill will reach tho House, un
der tho most favorable circumstances,
until the latter end of tho week. Unless
it become apparent that there might be
unreasonable delay in committee, the
bill will be referred, undor tho rule, to
the committee ou coinage, weights and
measures
WILL RUN NO RISK.
If there is a disposition to hold it there
a motion will be made to coucur In the
Senate amendments when tho bill Is
taken from tlio speaker's table. The at
titude of the republicans toward the bill
will he governed by the course of the re
publican senators. The silver democrats,
too, except perhaps a few extremists, will
follow tho lead of their political brethren
of the Senate. In fact no sort of doubt
seems to exist about the House that it
will pass and pass with expedition, any
compromise Unit goes through tho Senate.
The bankruptcy bill, unless tho finan
cial measure dislodges it, will probably
occupy the entire week. Much opposi
tion to this measure hi Its present form
has developed, HepreaentatlvestCulber-
S'at and Bailey, denis., ami William A.
IStone. rep., of tho committee which re
ported the bill, are among its opponents.
STONE TO OPUS THK FIGHT.
Mr. Slone will open the fight against
the I.ill to morrow. Mr Culberson says
that it must bo amended in mauy particu
lars. while others say that it eau never
puss unless radical changes are niado.
One of those changes Is tint involuntary
clause by which a man may be put
through the bankrupt court, even whan
it is not to his advantage or tliatof a ma
jority of his creditors to have such
action taken. Mr. Stone iwints out
mauy defects in the hill, which,
lie says, to a casual observer aro
harmless. Ho Is opposed to tho bill on
general principles. There have hern throe
bankrupt luxvs passed and all have been
repealed. The longest that any romainod
on the statute books was cloven years,
tho others less than two years.
THE TIME NOT OPPORTUNE.
Mr. Stone says that to jmss a law now,
during the depression, would causes great
deal of hardship, as It is a time wlion
there should bo [otiiency Instead of strict
ness in the collection of debts. Under the
present stringency lie thinks there would
lie an immense quantity of goods sold un
der the hammer, which would seriously
interfere with men engaged In legitimate
business. Another serious obstacle which
he finds in the bill is tho fact that it Is so
ir. trieato that very few lawyers would be
able to master it in all its details, and
that they would have a monopoly of tho
business; also that all the
trials of bankruptcy would be
in the United States courts,
and those courts are often remote from
the people, and would put people who are
involuntarily pushed into bankruptcy to
a great deal of inconvenience; and in
these courts would bo u small number of
attorneys who would make a practice of
the practice, and they would not have tho
business of tho involuntary, but the vol
untary bankrupt. If the opponents of the
bill are not able to amend the Hill they
will try and defeat It. They will, at least,
make it necessary to bring in a closure
rule to put it through.
Minor matters will occupy the atten
tion of the House during the morning
hour.
Tlio McCarrahan claim, which will
come up again to morrow, will consume
two days.
The passage of tho printing bill, on
which tlio House was divided when it ad
journed yesterday, will bo delayed until a
quorum is produced, and its opponents,
who are too weak to defeat it, say they
will insist upon.the presence of a quorum,
if the bill is to be carried.
TUB BANKING AND CURRENCY COMMITTEE.
Practically the banking and currerfcy
committee consists of seven democrats
and six republicans. On the question of
the repeal of the state bank tax, the re
publicans, Representatives Walker, Bro
sius, Russell, and Johnson,of Indiana, aro
all counted against the proposition.
Counted with them are Representatives
Springer and Sperry. The democrats,
who are counted iu favor of repeal, are
Representatives Cobb, of Missouri,
Culberson, Cobb, of Alabama, Warner,
Black, of Georgia, and Hall, of Missouri.
This leaves the committee 8 and 8, with
Representative Johnson, of Ohio, doubt
ful. The men against repeal say that bo
is surely w ith them, and the repealers
say that ho will support them if they
repeal certain propositions which he de
sires.
