1t Meets with Support and Opposition
in All Localities.

WASHINGTON, December 17th.-A careful can
vass of the House of Representatives reveals
that one-half of the members have read what
the Secretary of the Treasury recommends as to
the issuing of silver certificates for the deposited
bullion. Very few Eastern men are in favor OF
the plan and the larger number of Western
men are for it, as they say it would assist their
people in the fight against the demonetization
of silver by the European monarchies.
There is much interest IN the position taken
by the New York and New England Congress
men, because throggh their efforts the issue of
silver has been kept down 10 the minimum
limit OF 50, 100000, while the maximum has been
$1,000 900.

not want to indorse Windom's policy, at least
not until more developments aud opinions are

to-day that nearly all the financial men OF the
State were opposed to the Window idea, and
did not hesitate to say that they have always
been opposed to any plan which would increase

Found to be on Fire.

Found to be on Fire.
PORT COSTA, December 17th.-At $50 o'clock
this morning smoke was discovered issuing from
the after hatch of the ship Durham lying at
McNears wharf, loading with wheat. Captain
Butler and Mate Stevens were aroused at once,
and found the fire in the hold, and after haIf
hours endeavor to extipguish it by hand pumps,
it was deemed advisable, as the fire was gain
ing, to cut loose from the wharf and go out into
the stream.
Meantime the tug companies in San Francisco
had been notified, and little after daylight the
tugs arrived and at once went alongside, but
they did not commence pumping into her until
about 9 o o'elock, when an agreement was made,
and the tugs, in connection with the steamer
Solano, at once ran the ship on the mud on the
Benicia side, where they now lay pumping q
dozen or more streams into the ship to fill hel
with water, this being deemed the only way to
save the vessel.
The vessel is a three masted British iron ship
owned by John Heron & Co., of Liverpool
Meyer, Wilson & Co., of San Francisco, being
their agents.
The Ship ad in about 2,300 tons of wheat
most of which will be bady injured by water
The Durham will be injured to considerable
extent, but the injury cannot be estimated a.
yet
The vessel is valued at between s65. 900 and
s75 600, and is insured for considerable sum IL

This is the second fire within few months
that has taken place at Port Costa the first one

GOVERNOR ToOLE.
He Says the Democratic Party els the
People,"


HEIEAN (Mont.) December 18th - Surprise
only second to the late proclamation OF the
Executive, in which he made himself Judge OF
the membership of the House. was the message
from Governor Toole to-day. 1t was read in The
House by Governor Toole as such, but the read
ing in the Senate was objected to, and finally it
was consigned to the table, the reason being
that the Senate was as yet unorganized, and not
prepared to receive communications from the
Executive.
While deploring the existence of the dual
houses and regretting the present complica-
tions the Governor calls upon the Legislators to
stand by their colors, and intimates that It were
better that the present deadlock should con-
tinue until the legislative session lapses than
that any priuciple OF free government should
be imperilled or any right of the American
electors sacrificed, which interpreted by com.
mon minds seems to mean that the Governor OF
the State of Montana prefers to have no Legis-
lature and no laws passed, rather than to have
hes Democratic legislative friends defeated IN
their aim to secure control OF the lower house.
In concluding he says it is time to lay aside
passion and allow reason to resume sway, which
poetical sentiment is leveled straight at the
heads of the Republican Representatives.
