weighing Silver Dollars.
Scientific American.

In the mint at San Francisco there
are fifty women employed at salary
of 1915 per day. The hours are
from nine O'Clock in the morning
until four in the afternoon, with the
exception of Saturday, when work
ends at two. Their business is to
weigh the gold and silver after it has
been rolled, annealed, cut, and
washed, and they are known as ad-
iusters. Each piece should weigh
1921 grains for d silver dollar to be
up to the standard, a slight Sdiscrep-
ancy being allowed on either side.
If "a coin is found to be outside the
limit, it is returned by the adjuster
IF too light, it is condemned, ane

GrandilOQuence.

Philips, and Irish lawyer and or
ator, was noted for his flowery
STYLE
ssHe could not open
His mouth but out there flew trope."
He once spoke of Napoleon as
"wrapped in the solitude of his or
iginality."
But even this grandiloquence was
excelled by a Congressman from
Tennessee, who pronounced an
eulogy upon fellow-member killed
in a political row. The passage
most admired in the funeral Grafton
was this:
"Heh has gone down to the grave
wrapped in the peaceful soliloquy of
his own blood"
No one ever understood what the
orator meant, but it sounded well.

The Corvallis gazette. [volume] (Corvallis, Or.) 1862-1899, 1884-05-09
The Lost Steamer Florida

LONDON, May At is no longer doubted
that the ship which signaled the City of
Rome saved some if not all on board the
State of Florida. 1t is calculated that the
disaster occurred the 18th ult., at which
period the wind was blowing from the east,
and the boat would drift until rescued.
They must have been launched, because
they were fixed and would not otherwise
have foated. The fact that the boats were
without gear or oars IS regarded as favorable,
as indicating that the rescuing ship secured
the ears and gear, and allowed the boats to
drift away. One is life boat No. l; the
other is small, new boat, not numbered.
Officers are of the opinion that the State
of Florida struck an iceberg, as the captain
of the State of Pennsylvania reports ice in
the region in which the State of Florida is
supposed to have been at the time of the
disaster. The dynamite theory is not re-
! ceived with aay favor whatever.
The inventory shows that the cargo was
shipped by two well known firms, and all
the small packages on board are accounted
for. The detective reported awaiting the
arrival of the State of Florida was seeking
the arrest of embezzlers supposed to be on
| the vessel.
| The next news concerning the fate of the
missing vessel is awaited from America,
where it IS supposed those rescued will be
landed. The captain of the City of Rome
explains that when the ship displayed sig.
mails there was little or no wind, and the
flags showed bad, and were difficult to
read. The City of Rome passed the ship
rapidly, without replying to the signals.

oppostt,ou to Free Trade.

WASHINGTON, April Sit is probable
that the senate will agree to the free ship
amendment to the house bill to remove
certain burdens on the American merchant
marine and for other purposes. This
amendment allows American citizens to
purch sse ships of not less than four thous-
and tons burden, abroad, which ships shall
not be used in the American coastwise
trade. 1t was expected that senators
Mcpherson and Bayard would oppose this
amendment, but it is reported on the au-
thority of Beck that they will vote for it.
The champions of free ships also expect to
receive the assistance of Van Wyck of Ne
braska, both the Kansas senators and pos
si5ly one or two other republican votes
Representatives of the ship building in
dustry of the United States, are here to do
whatever they can to prevent the passage OF
the house bill. They claim that the free
ship.clause will ruin their business. Amer
lean ship builders are just beginning to
compete with British ship builders in the
construction of vessels and of heavy tonnage
ships that this bill i'll make free and they
say it will be impossible for them to con-
tinue in business if their corporations are
restricted to construction of coastwise
vessels simply.
Opposition of Wool Growers.
DENVER, May 5.-A strong protest was
to-day forwarded to Senator Hill against
that portion of theS new Converse bill ad-
mitting carpet woods free of duty. It rep.
| resents that all woods of that character
grown in the United States are raised in the
| section of which Colorado is the center.
The result of the free admission of this class
of woods would be the impoverishment OF g
thousand Mexican sheep owners and the
determination of their fiocks. The action
Of Representative Converse is regarded as
selfshly in the interest of home growers
and cannot but i turn from his support 8
a powerful interest in this section.

ior in capacity to the 'sYaquina" will ar
rive at Yaquina bay this season with full
cargoes of railroad material, and they will
be placed on the line between San Francisco
and Yaquina bay.
On the eleventh of last month trains
commenced running on the Oregon Pacific
railroad, the first trip being an excursion to
Oneatta from Yaquina City.
Before the end of the present season that
road will be completed to Corvallis, when
the commerce at the port of Yaquina will
experience an unprecedented increase; and
when that line shall have crossed the Cas-
cades and tapped the mighty resources of
Eastern Oregon and Idaho, Yaquina will
rival, if not excel any other port on the Pa
cific Coast of San Francisco, Portland,
alone excepted.
In view of the magnitude of the opera
tions briefly outlined above, it hardly
seems possible that movement can have
been made, looking toward the consolida.
tion of the port of Yaquina with any other
district. Yet such is the news that the
telegraph brings us, and it is no wonder that
the people are indignant. Much is expect
ed of our national representatives in this
matter. In them is our principle depend
ence, and the people hope and believe that
they will present this matter to Congress in
its proper light, should the matter be
brought up for consideration.
