THE STATUS OF SILVER.
THE CONGRESSIONAL CONFEREES
EVOLVING A NEW BILL.
No Definite Proposition Yet Advanced By
Either Side-Gold For Customs
Duties.

WASHINGTON, July 3.-Another una
vailing conference over the silver bib
was held this morning. One of the
members says that the time was spent
in general discussion of the financial
situation; that no proposition was pre-
sented and pressed with any particular
force. An adjournment was taken at
noon until Saturday morning. 1t is said
that previous to that time, probably
this afternoon or evening, the Republi-
can members of the conference will hold
a meeting with view to agreeing upon
some basis of action. One OF
the questions upon which the con-
ferees is divided is said to be
whether only the certificates to be is
sued in accordance with this bill shall
be made legal tender, or all certificates
outstanding previous to the approval OF
the bill as WELL
Walker, one of the house conferees,
is credited with having suggested that
the bill requires customs duties to be
paid in gold alone, but that was ruled
out on the ground that it's consideration
would open discussion upon matter
not properly included within the scope
of the bill before the conference.
BIZ md, of the house conferees, is
quoted as saying that the only serious
difference between the house and senate
conferees relates to the bullion redemp-
ton clause.

SAN Francisco, July 3.-The schooner
Ester Cabos arrived in port this morn
ing from Bowen's landing, with cargo
of posts for r. M. Clifford. The schooner
brought Robert Tomaritta, mate, and
Oscar, a seaman, who were rescued from
watery grave by picking them up off
the bottom of the schooner Napa City,
which was wrecked last night, seven
miles to the northwest of Point Reyes.
Captain Thurman and the cook OF the
vessel were drowned.
The mate says: "The Napa City left
Point Arena yesterday morning for this
city, with cargo of posts and bark COLI
signed to G. L. Dingley. Last evening,
when about seven miles to the northwest
of Point Reyes, l suddenly observed
that she was sinking fast, and almost in
flash she careened and turned COM
pletely over. There were four men on
the vessel-Captain Thurman, Mate
Robert Tomaritta, William Newman,
cook, and seaman named Oscar. The
captain and cook were thrown into the
sea, but the mate and the other sailor
managed to cling to the vessel. The
cook got on to piece of floating
bark. Captain Thurman had on big
rubber boots and heavy clothing. He
made an attempt to reach the capsized
vessel but sank before our eyes. We
were powerless to assist him. AT day
light we made out the Ester Cabos head
ing toward us, and finally we were
picked up. We made an attempt to
reach poor Newman, the cook, but he
could hold on no longer and drowned be-
fore the boat could reach him."
Captain Thurman was well-known on
the coast as a good seaman. He had
been on the Napa City for four years,
and this was to have been his last trip,
as he had been assigned to the COM
mand of new schooner. He leaves a
wife and four children. The Napa City
was owned by Howard Jarvis and the
cargo by G. L. Dingley. Neither vessel
nor cargo was insured.

The commander of troops which cross
the frontier in pursuit OF Indians shall
at the time of crossing, or before ii pos
sible, give notice of his march to the
nearest military commander or civil
authority of the country whose territory
he enters. The pursuing force shall

it's own territory, said govern
ment being further under obliga-
ton to withdraw the guilty parties
from the frontier. In case OF offences
which may be committed by the inhab-
itants of one country against the foreign
forces which may be within its limits,
the government OF said country shall
only be responsible to the government OF
the other for the denial of justice in the
punishment of the guilty.
