from the sacramento Record-union. June 80.
The reports from tho east of many deaths
from heat and suastroke are surprising to Cali
fornians Who have never been east Of the Rocky
mountains The surprise is due to the fact
that all the reports agree that the average TEN

place. reached 1867; vet in this state with
the thermometer AZ ll6o and over, no deaths

ventence- The distinction between the con-
dtions Is this, that at the east the atmosphere
Il humid and the nights sultry. Here the at
uosphers is dry and the nights cool moist
atmosphere is like blanket to the body-it
prevents radiation of the heat of the BODY and
represses perspiration. A dry atmosphere con-
serves rapid radiation and induces perspira-

SOOTHING THE ALBANIANs.
A Special Ambassador From the Census
ONCE and His Mission.

Mr.. James Il. Wardle Of the Census once
has just returned from New York and Albany.
He states that the returns from the former
city are now all in this city and that the work
Of the New York census is complete. Mr.. War
die visited Albany with the view Of pouring oil
on the difficulty which has sprung up over the
announcement Of the census returns. The
supervisor gave out on the 4th Of July an esti-
mate Of the population, which was based on
the daily report cards of the enumerators.
OF course these reports were not complete and
the result did not do justice to the work of the
census. According to the estimate reached
by this method the population OF
Albany has only increased about
l55 yearly during the past ten years.
The citizens fairly howled when this was an
nounced and Superintendent Porter was be.
seged for another count. He sent Mr.. Wardle
there and 1t is expected that when the returns
are counted and the missing ones gathered
in that there will be no necessity for new
count

Stanley Attacks Emln.

Cable Dspatch 70 the New York Times.
At dinner given him by the Savage Club,
attended by nearly four hundred picked pro-
fessionai men Of London. Stanley. for the first
time, approached frsnkness in describing his
relations with Emin. His speech resolved it.
self into a sustained attack upon the character
and moral OF the German scientist, and he told
u number of stories throwing a most odious
light upon Emin's disinelination to leave the
equatorial province. In substance his story
was of an Egyptian officer. whose wife Emin
had taken away. The officer wanted to kill
Emin and his reefeaht wife, but WAS prevented
by Stanley. The Savage Club is by no means
a prudish body. but Its impression was dis
tineuy that Stanley should have kept that
phase of his intercourse with Emin to himself

THE SILVER COMPROMISE.
Neither Gold nor silver Men Satisfied
Mr.. Sherman's Saving Clause.

Like all compromise measures, the silver bill
agreed upon in conference does not give any
great amount Of sstisfaction 10 anybody.
The anti-silver men are - well satisfed With
this bill, however, - they could be with any
they can get out Of this Congress This bill is
not so entirely silver measure 40 il looks to
some very clean diplomatic work attaching 70
the bill
SAVING cLAusE.
The snti-silver men have from the first con-
tended for the bullion redemption clause which
was inserted in the House bill Being obliged
to yield this in conference, under a
threat that legislation would be blocked
until the silver matter vas settled, Mr. Sherman
proposed the insertion Of the declaration that
upon demand of holder OF aay OF the Treas
ury notes herein provided for the Secretary OF
the Treasury shall, under such regulations ss
he may prescribe, redeem such notes in gold
or silver coin. at his discretion Ii being the es-
tahlished policy OF the United States to main
tain the two metals on a parity with each other
npon the present legal ratio, or such ratio as
may be provided by law"
This declaration OF . policy to maintain the
parity Of the two metals, 1t Is held. viii give
the Secretary of the Treasury the right TO
maintain that parity by such means as may be
necessary at any time, and this saving clause
will DO as effective as the bullion redemption
clause.
POWERS GRANTED THE srcRrrAKr.
Another objection which b raised by the
ultra-silves men ID that the provision that the
Secretary shall buy 400, 600 ounces OF silver
cor so much thereof as may be offered" gives
the Secretary She power to prevent any pur'
ehases, when he desires. by running down the
market to such price that no silver will be
offered.
BOTH SIDES OUT ~ SORTS.
The nltra-gold men are, Of course, great,
out OF sorts at having to yield - much Is they
have 10 the silver men; but the utrs-siiver mer
are as mad as they are
silver DEMOCRATS AGAINST rT.
Mr.. Bland, one Of the democratic conferees
said to q srAn reporter today that the bill was
vicious; that il put silver in a worse position
than it now is and that the silver men ought &c
defeat it He, for one, would never vote for
such measure.
The silver democrats will probably vote
against the conference report, but it Is eX-
pectsd to be adopted BY republican votes.
