THEY claim extraordinary long lives
for natives of Monterey County, Cali
fornia. Recently the Salinas h1der
gave an account of the life of old
Gabriel, who was reputed to be ISL
years old when he died on the 18th OF
March, 1890. "Old Gabriel's son
Zachariah, by his third wife, lived ia
years. Then there was Casiano, who
died few years ago, aged 1876. An,
other Indian named Lauriana died at
the county hospital some four years
ago at the age of ITO. These are all
well-authenticated cases. Now comes
an old native, known as Mrs. Olaria,
who claims that she was IL years OF
age at the time of the building of the
Carmel Mission in 1772, which would
make her 100 years old at the present
time"

 WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-The Senate vote on the Silver bill astonished even the advocates of free coinage. They claimed and expected a majority of eight; they got twelve. The vote stood Az to 30, with every Senator present or paired.
 The only Democrats who voted against the free coinage amendment were Messrs. Gray of Delaware and McPherson of New Jersey. The Republicans who voted in favor of Mir. Stewards amendment were: Messrs. Allen of Washington, Cameron of Pennsylvania, Ingalls, and Plumb of Kansas, Jones and Stewart of Nevada, Mcconnell and Shoup of Idaho, Manderson and Paddock of Nebraska, Mitchell of Oregon, Power and Sanderson of Montana, Stanford of California and Teller and Wolcott of Colorado.
 Pennsylvania and Oregon divided, Messrs. Quay and Dolph voting "No," and the South Dakota Senators paired Messrs. Pettigrew, yea, and Moody nay.
 After the result of the vote was an- nounced, Senator sherman declared that the rest of the bill might as well be stricken out, for the incontrovertible bond amendment and the other provis- ions were entirely inconsistent with the action taken.
 MT. McPherson suggested the retention of the section providing for an inter- national monetary conference, but MT. Sherman said that provision was now useless, and he desired the Stewart amendment to stand alone. Yielding to MT. Allison, he consented to allow sec tions 8 and 9, regulating some details of management at the New York Assay Of flee to stand in the bill.
 The Senate was in session 15 hours and the debates on the amendment were very exciting. Senator Ingalls, speech favor ing the amendment received much ap- plause from the galleries.
