WASHINGTON, June 1S.-The astonishing
and overwhelming majority by which the
bill for the free coinage of silver was carried
in the Senate today, is the topic of conversa-
tiOn among Congressman of all shades of
opinion. The free silver men are jubilant
tonight. sit rips the whole thing up; it is a
clean sweep;" said Senator Stewart of Ne
vada, and leading Democrat who stood
near, added, "And we will carry free coinage
in the House when your bill comes over, un-
Jess the Speaker outgenerals u.s." And this
boast is by no means extravagant. The out
look is regarded as very doubtful in tn
House. The Senators have very craftil
passed their free coinage measure as an
amendment to the House bill. 1t is thought
that this will force a vote on concurrence
to the House. Enough Republicans are for
free coinage to force the hard money men to
rely on Democratic help. This help was
given on the other vote. But now when ev-
cry Democrat sees how much mischief he
can make for the Republican party, it is
feared that the Democrats may throw their
hard money principles to the wind and go in
to see the fun with free silver. No one
doubts that President Harrison will veto a
free coinage bill and the Democrats would
ike TO force MIN TO 90 IL, Tor the unpopulari-
ty it would give him in the West The
Democrats in the Senate went in mass for
free silver for this very purpose undoubted-
ly. If the House Democrats decide to do
the same thing it is doubtful whether all the
influence of the Speaker and the other con-
servative Republican leaders can prevent
concurrence
There is some talk tonight, though it lacks
confirmation, that the Democratic senators
gave their solid vote for free silver in consid-
Grafton that the silver Republicans should
go against the federal election bill. There
Is we'll founded statement that the Demo-
Gratis approached the hard money Republican
senators with the offer to defeat free coinage
and allow the tariff bill speedy passage If
the federal election bill could be pat aside.
But this, while it shows that the Democrats
were ready to trade, is very far from prov
ing that the silver Republicans really did
trade.

A Peak Has Disappeared-voIcanIc
Disturbances Feared.

REDDING. Col, June 17.-That one of the
peaks of Mount Shasta had disappeared was
noticeable from Redding this morning. Its
absence from view created considerable
comment and some anxiety. The top ap-
pears TO have been cut short off, and to have
fallen into the crater below, the depths of
which have never been penetrated by the
eye of man. 1t is thought that the absence
Of this old landmark may indicate further
demonstrations of volcanic nature. Fire
has long been known to exist in the crater,
and the lava formation of the valleys and
ridges below it give rise to the question, may
not the convulsion of ages past be repeated? +?
An attempt will be made as soon as possible
to explore the mountain; but, as it is COW
cred with snow, the work will be dangerous.
