HARRIS FAvoRs FREE COINAGE.
The silver bill was again taken up and
Mr.. Harris addressed the Senate. After a
review aud condemnation of the act of 1878,
demonetizing silver, he compared the vari-
Gus pending propositions. and said that he
should vote for free coinage of silver; aud if
he failed in securing that, he should support
the nearest approximation to it that he
might be able to secure. IL he was forced
TO decide between the Dill as reported by
the finance committee and the legislation of
1878 flor the coinage of at least two million
silver dollars month) he should vote for
the committees bill, believing that many of
the criticisms made upon it were never
just nor true. He hoped that he would
secure free coinage.
CHOICE OF EVILS
Failing in that, he. preferred to take the
bill authorizing the purchase of 81, 800, 900
of silver month. rather than take the
present law with its monthly $4,000, 600 of
coined silver, because it would increase the
volume of circulation by $2.500,000 a
month. The only practical difference in
the two propositions was that, under one,
S2,000,Q00 in silver were coined every
month, and certificates issued for them and
under the other, there would be an issue of
81, 500. 900 of treasury notes each month TO
pay for that amount of silver bullion, which
the secretary was required to coin when
necessary to provide for the redemption of
treasury notes.
THE FARMERS ALLIANCE BILLS.
Mr.. Harris went on to speak of the two
propositions to furnish relief to the farm
hxrs. Tail fsuhs for
the deposit of certain crops, and the issuing
of treasury notes for so per cent. of their
market value, and by lending money to
farmers on their real estate at the rate Of 2
per cent a year interest. Even if such
measures were constitutional land be was
convinced they were mott, he believed that
they would not benefit the farmer, but
would prove @ serious injury and loss to
him.
AT the close of Mr.. Harris speech the
silver bill went over, and after brief exec
utive session the Senate adjourned.

The Augusta and 6ummerville Street
Railway Scooped In.
AUGUSTA. June 2.-The Augusta and
Summerville railroad, which has done a
street car business in Augusta for the past
twenty odd years, also has the privilege Of
the streets and receives a royalty from all
the railroads for cars passing through the
city. This royalty pays about $4,000 an
nually to the street car company.
whose charter has six years longer to run.
All the railroads catering Augusta but ona
are under the Richmond and Danville sys-
tenn, so that while the royalty is paid by
eight roads, practically it is all paid by the
Richmond and Danyille system, hence there
are good grounds for believing that the sale
of the road, which was made to-day was to
the Richmond and Danville company. For
a controlling interest in the company the
purchasers paid $76, 900. which will be saved
in few years in freight privileges. The
Richmond and Danville will probably diss
pose Of the street railway privileges.

BRITAIN's PARLIAMENT.
The Fisheries Dispute Alluded to in
the Debate.

LONDON, June 2.-Parliament reassem-

In the House of Commons Sir James Fer
guson, parliamentary secretary for the
foreign Office, declined to lay on the table
papers relative to negotiations with the
United States concerning the Behrlng sea
trouble until the question is settled.
Sir James also stated that neither the
French nor English government had
received any information of the landing
from a French ship of men on the
coast of Newfoundland who ordered the
Newfoundland fishermen to remove their
nets and upon their refusal to do so removed
them themselves. He was sure. he declared,
that the officers in both the English and
French services could be depended upon to
preserve conciliatory attitude pending an
arrangement of the Newfoundland fisheries
trouble. The government had every reason
to believe that the alarmist reports con-
corning the situation of affairs in New
foundland we're incorrect.
