THE LEAD QUESTION.
VIII the Secretary Decide or Must
We wait ON Congress?

In their circular bearing date July 10,
the firm of w. J. Chamberlain IL Co.,
gives the following in reference to the
lead question:
Lead has been remarkably steady all
through the week at S3S0m3.s5 at Chi
Cago, and Si@i0j ut New York. There
has been slight lull in the demand,
and sales ut the three points will not
foot up more than 1900 tons at the
prices above named, and chiefly for July
delivery. Adviccs came from Washing
ton To the effect that Solicitor Hepburn
has been asked To give an opinion in the
matter of ores, and he will take some
days for consideration and IL is not
likely that any decision will be given un-
Ill Assistant Secretary Tichenor returns
to Washington, which will be at least
two or three weeks, so that the trade is
to he kept hanging by the cyelids on
this most important question, probably
until the end OF July. Extensive irreg-
ularitics have been discovered ut the
frontier. In some cases lead in the ore
was valued ut / cent per pound, and all
the expenses and deductions were made
from the lead contents, but, as the ore Is
imported under the class OF silver ores,
it would seem at least just that the sill
yer should be charged with the deduc-
tioa. At all events, an entirely new
system is to be started, and the law, as
il stands, at least, will be vigorously en-
forced, There are strong intimations
that the department will push the mat
ter over for congress to decide, which is
more than likely it President Harrison
is to call an extra session. Well i'm
formed dealers believe that the enforce
ment of the law will keep out enough
ore To carry prices materially higher
even although the ruling of weight iu-
stead of value should be adopted.

AFTERNOON SESSION.
Mr.. Minor Apologies and Harmony
&. Restored.

The convention met at = o'clock.
Mr.. Power asked unanimous consent
to extend the privilege of the floor to DIR.
Calhoun of Skagit county.
Mr. Minor rose to question of privi-
lege IL had come to him that some
members conceived that in the debate
this morning he had imputed unworthy
motives To the members. In regard to
the chairman OF the committee on conn
ties (Stiles) hc had the highest regard
for his intellectual capacity and for his
general worth and honesty of purpose.
He wished To extend the same express
sions of opinion to his genial lieutenant
(Grittitts). If any reflections contrary
to such an opinion had ensued in his re.
marks of this morning he wished to
withdraw them. He had also made AN
error I'm stating that no other state con-
stitution had such u provision. Mary
land had such IL one, and Arkansas has
something about the formation of new
counties.
Mr.. Griffitts moyad to amend section
10 by inserting all that portion. which
was stricken out relative to allowing
cities to make their own charter. That
portion as reported by the committee
allowed such privilege to cities of 25,OOO
and upwards.
Various amendments were offered,
debated and lost until finally the figure
was reduced to 5000, and then the whole
was struck out. Now Mr.. Griiiitts
moved to reinstate the whole with the
figure fixed at 10000. Adopted without
debate--ayes 3S, noes "a.
Mr.. Mires moved that the rules be sus.
pended and the article considered as en-
crossed and put on its final passage.
Agreed to.
Mr.. Weir moved to go into committee
of the whole to consider the report of the
committee on executive department.
Messrs. Dunbar, Grifiitts and Sullivan of
Whitman, opposed this as a waste of
time after the experience of the convcn-
tion on the last article under considera-
ton.
Mr.. Dunbar said IL was time wasted,
and Mr. Grifiitts called IL foolishness and
boys play.
The convention declined to go into
committee of the whole.

WORDS FROM WASHINGTON.
The Pension Ofice-Arms For AlaskH
Chinese Servants.

WAsIlINGroS, July 4.-Civil Service
Commissioner Roosevelt said to-day that
charges have been brought against both
the pension office and the sixth auditor ;
office that men have been discharged
because they were democrats. He was
not prc pared to say that this was vio-
lation of the law, but individually lac
was iirn,ly of the opinion that II was in
violation of the spirit of the law. He
thought no one, unless he happened to
be AN active partisan, should be dis
missed from the public service. He said
the commission was going to- look the
matter up, not only ms relating to the
present bur to the past.
Tho governor of Alaska has requested
the officials of the war department to
furnish the territory with $50 stand of
arms with which to equip the territorial
militia. There Is no record of the ex-
istencc of any militia organization in
Alaska, but inasmuCh as the war de-
partment will be secured against the
loss of the arms they will probably be
ISSUED in accordance with the request.
solicitor Hepburn, to whom the ques-
ton WAS propoundcd, Is of the opinion
that there is nothing in the Chinese cx-
clusion act tn prohibit the landing in the
United States of Chinese who enlisted
rs servants ON the United States naval
vessels recently at Samoa, and whose
service will terminate on the arrival of
the vessels ut San Francisco. The solic-
itor considers that these men are Il part
of the working outfit of the vessels, and
are exempted from the operations of the
exclusion act.
