SILVER COINAGE.
Comments on the Effect of the Passage
Of the House Bill.

NEW YORK, June 10.-The Evening Tele-
gram says, speaking of the course of specu-
latlon: gentleman very close to Jay
Gould remarked that it is plain that both
the London and New York markets were
worked in order to create an impression
that silver legislation had been fully dis
counted. Events will prove otherwise, and
when the Silver Bill passes the Senate, as
1t will in few days, the bears will find out
what very serious mistake they have been
guilty OF. This appeared to be the general
opinion. Even the most conservative bank
ers Endorsed the foregoing sentiments.
The Commercial Bulletin says editOrially:
wall street does not respond so freely to
the House Silver Bill as was expected. The
fatness yesterday of the market was a
general disappointment. The reason most
generally assigned is that the bill has to
pass muster in the Senate, where its fate is
doubtful. Perhaps the more actual reason
Is there are so many large holders of securi-
ties waiting to seize the first chance of re-
alzing that it is impossible to get boom"
under way.
The Evening Posts Washington special
says: A wide difference of opinion prevails
among observers in the Senate wing of the
Capitol on the fate of the House Silver bill
when it reaches that quarter, but this is
mostly In respect to the details on certain
points. There seems to be practically
unanimous judgment that whatever bill the
Senate passes will lack the bullion feature
that Is, 1t viii call for the redemption of
100000 ounces of silver per month instead
OF 81, 600 worth. A good many say also
there will be inserted provision for the
coinage of all silver brought to the Treas
ury by bulion-owners, which of course is
equivalent for public purposes to free coin
age.
The official report of the New York Stock
Exchange of silver bullion on hand gives
5,366,j90 ounces; certificates outstanding,

Closer investigation was made by her bear
ship, and an entrance to the chicken coop
was made. Several of the fowl were soon

adapted to catch and kill chickens. She
then ate two or three, and her hunger being
satisfied, she bethought herself of her mate,
Jenny, the cinnamon bear, who was still fast
In the pit. Determining that her mate
should enjoy a meal of fresh poultry, Rats
gathered up few of the dead chicks and
started back for the pit. The chicks were

This morning the stray bear was captured
and fastened again in the pit and the
chickens are now safe.-Victoria (B. c.
