AS TO SILVER.
Wall Street Puts on a Bold
Front.
The Gold Bugs Refuse to Show
Excitement.
Dire Predictions Made as to the
Result of Free Coinage.
The Republican Regime in the House Un
decided as to What Course
to Pursue.
Associated Press Dispatches 1
New York, June 18. —The news of the
passage by the senate of the bill pro
viding for the free coinage of silver had
no effect on the stock market and ex
cited no influence on Wall street, except
among the dealers in silver bullion, who
regard it with complaisance. The
opinions of bankers and brokers as to its
ultimate effect were very diverse, but the
general impression is that the measure
means a wild inflation of the currency
and an advance in every commodity
dealt in. Russell Sage and other people
as prominent say they look on the bill
With apprehension, and fear ill effects
will follow its passage. Some bankers
said the adoption of a free coinage meas
ure would be a disaster and work a great
injury. The effect of these unfavorable
opinions put a damper on the little boom
that started just after the opening, and
the believers in advance decided to re
frain from any active movement until
the passage of the bill through both
houses was an assured fact.
Russell Sage said: "I look with ap
prehension on the action of the senate
in passing a free-coinage bill. If the
law should ever become operative, it
would create Such an inflation that a
panic would be sure to follow. In fact,
I believe the ill effects of the law would
be felt immediately on it passage, be
cause European holders of our securi
ties would be almost certain to throw
their holdings on our market; at least
all securities not payable in gold."
John 11. Inman said: "It looks to me
like bad legislation. The effect can
only be injurious. Of course there
might be a temporary boom in business
if free coinage was ' adopted, but the
final windup will almost certainly be
disastrous."
D. F. Foshay, of Zimmerman & Fos
hay, bullion dealers, regard the passage
of a free coinage bill with great com
plaisance. "The trouble is," he said,
"the house may not follow in the sen
ate's footsteps. We want more money
in this country and free coinage is a
practicable and legitimate way of get
ting it."
UNDECIDED.
The Senate JMll an Elephant on the'
House '.eadcts' Hands.
Washington, June 18.—There is a
strong probability that the difficulty
arising over the position in which the
Republicans in the house find themselves
in consequence of the passage of a free
coinage silver bill by the senate, will be
overcome for the present by the refer
ence of the measure to the coinage,
weights and measures committee. In
deed, it was said the speaker
had, late this evening, or
dered the bill to be referred
to the committee. Representative Con
ger, chairman of the coinage committee,
liad several interviews with Mr. Reed
.during the day, and, supported by other
members of the house, urged that
undo* the rules the only proper thing
for the speaker to do was to make the
reference mentioned. Conger at 11
o'clock tonight said he did not believe
Reed had decided the question, though
he might have done so. Under the
rules this reference could be made at
any time; nothing more would
be necessary than the speaker's
order. It is believed by the
friends of the original house bill, that
this reference would result in securing
time within which to reach a compro
mise basis upon which both senate and
house can stand. Considerable of the
silver men are of the opinion that the
outcome of the proposed reference of the
bill back to the committee, would be the
passage of a liberal silver bill and the
defeat of the senate bill.
FOR FREE COINAGE.
Francis G. Newlands Addresses an Enthu
siastic Meeting at Oenver.
Denver, June 18. —The meeting of the
Colorado Silver Association was held
here today, and was addressed by Fran
cis (1. Newlands, of Nevada, a member

account of the pending legislation and of
the position of the parties and the
administration and prominent politi
cians with reference to it, the urged ex
tension of the work of the national sil
ver committee, and the organization of a

act in co-operation with the bi-metallic
leagues of France, England, Germany
and Italy, and is to extend in those
countries" the work of education and pre
paring pamphlets in the languages of the
various count ries adapted to their wants
with the view of uniting the producing
and agricultural classes, with the politi
cal economists, of those countries who
have declared themselves almost unani
mously in favor of the metallic system
in war upon the monometallic gold
standard. The meeting was one of
great earnestness, and resolutions were
adopted favoring free coinage and op
posed to bullion redemption, and ad
vocating the retirement of those senators
and congressmen who vote for such a
measure.

latter's recent communication in regard
to contests between professional pugil
ists, as given in the several athletic
clubs of San Francisco. The attorney
general joins the governor in character
izing these exhibitions as disgraceful.
He says they are contrary to the pro
visions of the penal code ; that the state
law has made such exhibitions a felony,
and that municipal licenses are no pro
tection. The attorney-general assures
the governor that he will notify the pros
ecuting officers under him that any
action on their part to suppress the
grievance will receive his sanction and
co-operation, to the end that the laws
may be maintained and enforced in the
spirit in which they were enacted.

Has a Narrow Escape.
Santa Cruz, Cal., June 18. —Dr. F. E.
Morgan and C. J. Eumsey, of this city,
while returning from a trip up the coast

struggled in the rough sea for four hours,
I drifting down the coast about three
miles, but managing to keep the boat
off the rocks until he was rescued. Five
minutes later it is believed he would
have been submerged and lost. Both'
Morgan and Ramsey were thoroughly
drenched in the rescue, and one person
alone would have been unable to save
the man. Dry clothing and blankets
were procured from a farmhouse in the
vicinity. The stage from Pescadero
passing soon, he was placed on board and
taken to that place.

A DEPRAVED YOUTH.
Burglar and .lail-Rrcaker at the Age of
Thirteen.
Sacramento, June 18. —About two
weeks ago the Elk Grove postoffice and
the store of John Andrews was robbed,
and a 13-year-old boy, who gave his
name as Willie Anderson, was arrested
for the crime. He was examined before
the Elk Grove justice of the peace, and
held to answer before the superior court.
The boy has been eontined to the county
jail here since awaiting sentence,
as he had resolved to plead guilty.
Today Sheriff McMullen discovered
from the description received, that the
youngster was one of five prisoners who
escaped several weeks ago from the jail
at Visalia. He was the leader, and the
one who planned the jail delivery. He
had been sentenced to five years in the
penitentiary for burglary at"Visalia, and
was to have been taken to state's prison
on the day he escaped. He confesses he
is an escape, and tells an interesting
story of how he accomplished it.

SHASTA'S SUMMITS.
The People of Kedding Sure That the
North Peak is Missing.
Redding, Cal., June 18.—Cloudy
weather has obscured Mount Shasta
since yesterday morning. Those who
viewed the mountain through spy
glasses Monday morning assert posi
tively that the top of the north peak has
disappeared, and there is a flat place on
top. Mount Shasta is eighty miles
from Redding. The people of
which is thirteen miles from Shasta, say
there is nothing wrong with the peaks",
but it may be that their view is not the
same as from Redding. The theory
sems to be that accumulations of snow
and glaciers loosened a large quantity of
rock on the apex, and that the crater
which is known to exist on the north
peak has swallowed it.
San Francisco, June 18.—Prof. David
son, of the geological and coast survey,
says : "My opinion is that a large mass
of ice and snow has fallen away from the
mountain top, thus changing the ap
pearance of things from below. In sum
mer time, when the ice and snow melt
away, masses of rock are continually
falling away from the steep sides of the
summit."
THE CENSUS J'AKCE.
San .Jose Registers a Kick Against the
Result of the Count.
San Jose, June 18. —The census-taking
in this city has been a farce, and if de
sired to ascertain anywhere near the
number of residents, a large extension of
time will have to be granted. Many
places in the center of the city have not
been visited, and in the outskirts whole
blocks have been omitted. At least one
third of the population will not be rep
resented in the census.
AN AWFUL ROW.
BIG- CENSUS RUMPUS IN THE TWIN
CITIES.
Minneapolis Enumerators Arrested and
Dragged Off to St. Paul-Their Returns
Sequestered—A Sensational Racket.
Chicago, June 18 —A dispatch from
St. Paul, Minn., says .-There is a terrible
row over census matters in the twin
cities. Last night, armed with warrants
Charging seven census enumerators in
Minneapolis with making fraudulent re
turns, United States Marshal Daggett
and some assistants swooped down
on the census bureau in Min
neapolis, arrested the men and took
them and all the returns they were can
vassing to St. Paul. This morning there
was a tempest in Minneapolis when this
] was learned. A search warrant was
sworn out in the municipal court of
I Minneapolis, and two officers came over
here to get the returns which had been
cbnifsenterl. The custodians of the
papers refused to surrender them,
and after an altercation the Min
neapolis men were forcibly ejected
from the building. St. Paul people
swore out' the warrants, which caused
the whole affair, before a United States
commissioner last evening, alleging
that gross frauds were being perpetrated
in Minneapolis in an endeavor to influ
ence the population returns. It was
stated late tonight that an inspector of
the census bureau has telegraphed the
particulars of the case to Superintendent
Porter at Washington, and awaits in
structions. It is passible that a recount
of both cities may be made. Fierce
rivalry existing between them is at the
bottom of the unfortunate affair.
A dispatch from Minneapolis, Minn.,
says the arrest of the enumerators is a
high-handed outrage which has stirred
the whole populace of Minneapolis up
to a high pitch of indignation, which is
intensified by the forcible abstraction
and detention of the returns. The
officers and citizens who went to St.
Paul this morning with a search war
rant, tell another story from that told
in tiie St. Paul dispatches, and say they
were grossly 'insulted end "forced
from the building at the muzzle of re
volvers. An enormous mass meeting of
citizens was held in Masonic temple to
night, presided over by Mayor Rabb, at
which resolutions denunciatory of the
action of St. Paul were adopted;
also one calling on the people to use all
means in their power to have the state
capital removed elsewhere from St. Paul.
There promises to be a great deal of
trouble over the matter.

death all the more certain if it had not
already occurred.

St. Louis, June 18.—Mrs. Woodworth,
tlie alleged prophetess, faith-healer,
who says she predicted the Pacific coast

made this city her home, establishing
her quarters in a so-called gos

Jefferson avenue and Gambie street.
Prophetess Woodworth recently struck a
seam of particularly hard luck. For the
last two nights her" tent has served as a
mark for bushels of bricks and cobble
stones, hurled by a mob, which indig
nantly repudiates Marie and her
pretended gifts. She declares
that she is being persecu

against her last Sunday at St. Bridget's
church. She believes the Roman
Catholics are persecuting her, and says
she will not discontinue her revivals.

o'clock George McCartney met L. A.
Milburn on Sixteenth street, between
Stout and Ohanepa streets, one of the
most crowded streets in the city, when
he pulled a revolver and fired five shots
at Milburn, two of which entered his
breast, producing wounds from which he
cannot recover. Milburn is a carriage
manufacturer, and McCartney had been
in his employ, but later on they entered
on some kind of a partnership. Trouble
arose between them, and Milburn had
McCartney arrested for embezzlement,
which' was the indirect cause of the
shooting this afternoon. Both men had
families, and stood well in business
circles.
