SILVER BULLION.
Brooklyn Broker Interviewed on the Pend
ing Bill.

A Brooklyn Broker Interviewed on the Pend
ing Bill.
WASHINGTON, July 1-EX-Congres sman
White, the well-kuown wealthy Brooklyn
broker, passed through here to-day en- route
home from business trip to the far West.
He said of his trip: Il was engaged in look
ing after mining interests, aud was thus
brought in contact with the leading silver
bullion producers of the States and Terri
tories. While, perhaps, the more general
sentiment among the people favored free
coinage, and while all recognize the smart
ness of the Senate in order to get the bullion
redemption feature removed from the VIM
dom bill, yet in point OF fact the leading
bullion producers are and were all the time
entirely satisfied with the 81, 800, 600 pur-
chase of bullion, provided the bullion was
payable in Treasury notes, which are re-
deemable in lawful money and are full
legal tender for all debts, public and pri-
vate. Since the matter has been in confer
ence l have discussed it freely with the
people out there, and all are entirely salts
fed with the belief, which has gained cred
ence throughout the slver-producing
States, that the result of the conference
will be bill such as | have spoken of. l
was at Denver, Leadville, Salt Lake, Phoebe
and Osceola, New, and in the Wood River
mining district, Idaho, and being among
the silver producers made 1t part OF my
business to get the sentiment of the people
about the silver question. These people
feel that the effect of taking care of the
silver production of this country, which is
about S50,000000 year, will cause silver
gradually aud certainly to approximate
the standard which is now recognized
by the coinage values Put upon gold and
silver by this country. They expect 10 see
silver constantly advance in price"

Bill has been called for tomorrow morning

THE HOT SPELL.
Suffering at Chicago Caused by the Ex-
tTGmely Warm Weather.

CHICAGO, July Notwithstanding the
rain of last night the weather here remains
oppressively warm. The lowest tempera-
ture reached during the present week was
last night. Immediately after the rainfall
when the Government Signal Service ther-
mometer marked $50. At o'clock this
morning it registered 72o, and at 10 o'clock
77o. This by no means indicates the OPP
pressive character Of the heat in the streets,
for thd Government observations are taken
at the top Of the lofty Auditorium tower,
where the thermometer is not subject to
radiated heat from the payemeDtS and
buildings, the walls of which have been
baking under the blistering sun and ac-
eumulating heat for the past ten days.
There is scarcely the sign of breeze.
The heated term Is by no means over. 1t
is cooler to-day than it has been for several
days. But it will be hotter tomorrow, and
still hotter Thursday, and equally as hot
Friday and Saturday. The only circumstan
ces that can change this forecast are local
winds and thunder showers. If these pre-
vail, the suffering will be greatly minimlZed.
II not, it will become still more alarming.
The boundaries of the vast parched area is
changing slowly toward the East, but the
indications are that even n warmer wave
may follow the present recediuG one.
The present heated term has produced a
murderous harvest. Last week the deaths
in Chicago, produced directly by excessive
heat, over and above the death average, ex-
ceeded ninety. The most of those resulted
from heat stroke, either directly by pros
tration or by attaching to some disease or
weakness Of the victim. Monday the appli-
cations for burial permits reached 1S3 and
to-day sixty-fye applications came to the
Office before ? o'clock. Should this rate be
sustained for the present week, which is
not improbable, Chicago will have recorded
the greatest seven days death rate Of its
history. The number of deaths last week
was $40. for the week previous 297, but at
the rate the record is piling up this week it
will reach about 800. 1t is scarcely posi-
bic, however. the present rate will continue
throughout the week and Il record of less
than 500 can be hoped for. Nevertheless
this is fearful jump, to have the number
of deaths in Chicago doubled in less than
two weeks.
The temperature in several cities this
morning is reported as follows: New York
72', New Orleans 77o, st. Louis 74o, Cincin-
pafi 7gO Hbiaarc lNiOpipao 800

HOPE ABANDONED.
No Trace Of the Farm Hill Min
erS Discovered.
The ReseuinS Party Satisfied They Are All
Dead
The Pit Completely Filled With Black Damp.
SearGherS Nearly Overcome
by Gases.


DUNBAR Pal July 1.-Rescuers dug
through into the Farm Hill Mine at $3.50
o'clock this morning, but before they had
gone far fire and black damp were en-
cOuntered, and the men quickly made their
way out of the dangerous pit. The fans
were then started, and at 9 o'clock this
morning nine selected men, including three
mine-inspectors, District Master Workman
Watchern and Superintendent Sill, started
on the search for the thirty-one en-.
tombei men. Fifteen and a half days
have elapsed since the flash of gas set fire
to the mine. Hope and work were
abandoned this evening at 6 o'clock, and
the dust or ashes of the thirty-one impris-
oned men may rest beneath Dunbar Hill
till the last day shall come. This is because
the men could work no more.
After being driven from the mine by
smoke and black damp this morning
twenty-one brave men resolved to make
one more attempt to rescue their comrades,
and at . o'clock they again entered the
burning pit Three of the party returned
to within few hundred yards of the burn
ing subterranean fire and satisfied them
selves that the men were dead and further
search was useless.
The stencil of burning human flesh sick
ened them, but they visited nine places
where the men were known to have been
at work. Two dinner pals were found
with the dinners untouched and two coats.
The picks and shOvels were all lying just
as man would leave them when he started
on a run for his life. Otherwise no trace Of
the men could be found.
While prosecuting the search further, res
cuers ran into dense cloud Of black damp,
which put out their lights. A struggle for
life then followed, but they succeeded in
getting back to the rest of the party. Alter
sad consultation it was decided to aban-
don the search, and the company will now
make an effort to eXtinguish the fires and
save some of their property.

AMERICAN WINES.
Rapidly Increasing Demand for California
Products in European Markets.

CHICAGO, July IA. C. Furney, re-
tired wine merchant of London, who speaks
highly of American Wines says California
products are well received in England.
Five years ago. he added, Il ordered a
few barrels of California wine as an expert
ment. 1t could hardly be distinguished
from the French article. except by the
labels. Then began TO import it regularly
in small quantities. Each year the trade in
California wines has increased, until now
the imports are extensive. | am on my way
to the Pacific Coast now to look at the vine
yards. l am not looking for investments,
but am on a pleasure trip, from which |
shall derive some information. The white
wines Of California are excellent. They are
in every sense equal TO those produced in
France. California champagne is better
than French champagnes, and it is often
called for in some of the best clubs in Lon
don. / believe that In a few years Cali
fornia will be the producing country
of the world. The French have been hand
ling vineyards so long that they can get
better quality of grapes than the Califor-
mans, but the Americans are improving,
and it is only matter of time before they
will be at the top. California has one ad-
vantage-it can raise crop of grapes every
year, while the climate of France allows
only one good vintage every seven years.
Five years from now California vineyards
will be more valuable than those of France"

try. 1t was especially the intention
Of Republicans to discriminate against the
Southern States in order to injure their
vote. Discussing the tariff question, the
speaker said the Democrats are not free
traders. They simply favored an equitable
revision of the present oppressive
tariff on the necessaries of life. The
Democratic party's stand on the tariff
could not but recommend itself to the peo-
pie. The Republicans bloody shirt cam
paigns were referred to as contemplate.
The distinguished visitor closed with the
declaration that Democratic success was
assured throughout the country if the ad-
herents to that party would keep Indiana
in the column where she belonged.

liberal provision for the new fleet, exclu-
sive of about SIS, 600 900 for the routine ex-
penses OF the navy and for miscellaneous
purposes. This bill appropriates $500, 600
for new ships. The main portion of this
sum is to be used as installments for begin
ming the construction of three sea going,
line of battle ships" as the peculiar
wording of the act has it, designed to
carry the heaviest armor and most power
full ordnance, upon the displacement of
about $500 tons, with coal endurance of
about 5000 knots on total coal capacity of
the most economical rate of speed, and to
have the highest practicable speed for ves-
sells of their class" They may cost, ex-
Guiding the armament and speed premiums,
as much as S4,000,000 each. or $4,000, 900 in

structing the new vessels will be pushed.
1t is said bids will be called for early in
September. If so the others will probably
be disposed of within three months follow

cember, it will find all its present work
fully taken care of, and the Navy Depart
ment waiting for more.
