DISCUSSING SILVER.
Senator Stewart Pleased With the Jones
Bill.

III.
WASHINGTON, May 6th.-An effort was
made by the Senate Republican Silver
Committee to-day to agree upon a silver
bill to be reported to the caucus. Three of
the thirteen members were absent. The
ten present, together with Senator Stewart,
who was invited 70 take part in the pro-
ceedings, after discussion lasting nearly
three hours, decided to report to the caucus
to be held some day this week the bill re-
ported by Senator Jones from the Finance
Committee some weeks ago, with amend
ments.
One of the amendments strikes out the
provision reported in the bill that notes
issued for the purchase of bullion when re-
turned shall be cancelled, and lnstructs the
Secretary of the Treasury to reissue them,
with proviso that the amount outstand-
ing shall not at any time be in excess of
the amount paid out for bullion deposited.
Another amendment is an addition to
the sixth section of the bill adopted by the
House caucus. which provides for covering
into the Treasury about seventy millions
OF lawful money now held for the redemp-
ton of national notes.
Jones' bill directs the Secretary of the
Treasury to purchase monthly silver bull.
ion to the value of 81 100000. The notes
in payment thereof to be redeemable in
lawful money.
Senator Mitchell stated that while per-
sonally he was in favor of the free coinage
of silver, he believed the measure (the
bullion redemption clause having been
omitted) to be free from any vicious prin-
ciple, and one that. if adopted, would ulti-
mately end in free coinage In this Sena-
tor Teller agreed.

A Russian Officer is Consigned to a Xiv
ing Tomb.
ST. PETERSBURG, May 6th.- Captain
Schmidt OF the Russian navy has been
taken to the Schlusselberg prison, near
Lake Lagoda, and it is doubtful whether he
will ever be seen again alive. The crime
for which ne has been removed to this liv-
ing tomb was that he was discovered pre-
pairing plan If the fortress at Cronstadt
for the Gerrpan Government. The latest
news concerning the discovery is that the
military attache of the German Lega-
ton is implicated, and the fact that Ger
many is the intending purchaser of the
key to Russia has made the feeling against
the administration very bitter and very
strong.
Cronstadt is fortress to which no
stranger is admitted, no matter how distin-
guished he may be, nor can Russian. un-
less he is one of the garrison specially told
off for the fortress, enter the gates and re-
tain his freedom. Its plan is changed every
year, and the utmost secrecy is observed in
regard to the details of its garrison and ar
rangements. Without Cronstadt the mag
niticent city of st. Petersburg could in one
hour be laid iii ruins by any first-class war
ship that floats. Cronstadt is the key to
Russia, and that it has been in danger, and
may be yet, thrills the administration with
horror and fear. The plan will be changed
at once.
ST. PETERSBURG, May 9th. - Captain
Schmidt, of the Russian navy, who was
charged with preparing plans of the Cron-
stadt fortress for the German Government,
has been liberated in absence of sufficient
evidence to convict him. He has been
dismissed from the service.

Large Number of Chinese Expected on
Saturday.
SAN Francisco, May 6th.-The steamer
China is scheduled to arrive from China on
Saturday next, but it is believed at the Gus
tom House that the ocean flyer will reach
here on Friday. The exact number of Chi
nese passengers that she may have on
board, classed as in transit, cannot be given.
Collector Phelps as yet has received no no.
tice OF any change in Secretary Windom's
order refusing the in-transit passengers of
the China the right to proceed to Mexican
ports, and until instructions come to hand
the passengers will remain on board the
vessel. 1t is admitted that on the refusal
of Collector Phelps to accede to the request
the entire number of in-transit passengers
will be released on writs of habeas corpus
that test may be made.
Attorneys Riordan, Stranahan and Now
bry will represent the Chinese when the
matter is brought forward for argument
In conversation with Attorney Stranahan,
that gentleman was certain that the order
was null and void, and would not stand
the test, and he had no hesitancy in claim
ing that the Court would decide that the
ruling was not well founded, and that in
transit persons have the right to pass
through the United States.
The Gaelic will leave for the Orient on
Thursday, and beside carrying back quite a
number of Chinese, she will have some re-
manded Chinese men and women as pas
sengers.

GREAT DISASTER.
Many Lives Lost in the Burning of Lu-
natic Asylum.

MONTREAL, May 9Th Tongue Pointe
Lunatic Asylum is burning. The asylum
contained about 1,500 patients. Tongue
Pointe is about six miles by rail east of
Montreal.
The asylum caught fire about l1:30
o'clock this morning. At o'clock the
building was mass of flames. There are
believed to be from 100 to $50 insane in
mates in the building with no chance of
escape. The fire apparatus at the asylum
is utterly inadequate and several steamers
have been forwarded from here on spe-
cial train. Hundreds of lunaiics, male
and female, are grouped together in the
asylum grounds. Nuns are making every
effort to control them and allay their
fears, and as rapidly as possible the poor
creatures are being removed to places of
shelter in the neighborhood.
LATER.-The asylum is burning to the
ground, and in an hour nothing will be
left but the ruins of the walls. The fire
originated, it is said, in cupboard in the
middle wing Of the structure. The partic.
! ulars of the calamity reach here slowly

cial Commission to inquire into completing
the Panama canal has been given to the

WASHINGTON NOTES.
Secretary Tracy's Residence Sold at a
LOSS

SecFetdry Aracy's hes1uence SOLD at 3
WASHINGTON, May th.-.Secretary Tracy's
residence, the one in which the catastro-
phe occurred, was sold to-day for $50, $50.
1t cost him $4,000 one year ago. The
residence of the late Justice Matthews was
also sold to-day for $S1, 500.
Secretary Window to-day made an award
of $4,000 to S. L. Moorehead of San Fran
cisco, for his services in apprehending
smugglers there about year ago. This is
the maximum amount that can be awarded
under the law, and the Secretary stated
that he willingly made it in this case, as he
believed Moorehead's action to have been
most meritorious. This is the case where
the two Customs Inspectors had allowed
opium to pass, and Moorehead, although
but private citizen, had made the seizure.
He was offered larger amount than this
award to allow the smueglers to go, but de-
clined. The smugglers are now in Jail
awaiting trial, and two Inspectors swere
dismissed from the service. The depart
mentproposes to break up opium smuggling,
and to that end will make the maximum
instead of the minimum awards to those
who give necessary information leading to
the arrest of smugglers.
