Craftsmen Have Not Forgotten
the Athens of the Pacific.

The cracksmen. who have been operating
on safes in various places in California, paid
a visit to Oakland on Friday night and
cracked two. One of these was in the gro
Gerry Of William P. Wheeler in the Playter
block, running through from San Pablo
avenue to Broadway. The outer door was
drilled with half-inch drill and the COM
bination broken with hammer and punch,
which broke the lock, so that it was easy to
open the door. They found a chilled-steel
burglar-proOf vault within and gave up
further attempts. They also visited the
grocery of TOrrey, Whitman & Co. on
Eleventh street, but as there was no inside
burglar box they secured a small sum Ell
money. No powder was used, but the work
was scientifically performed and was not
discovered until the stores were opened for
business yesterday morning. The doors
were all locked and barred inside as when
left on the night before, except at T0rrey,
Whitman & Co.'s, where thumbscrews were
used on the doors inside, so as to prevent
any one coming in and disturbing them at
their work. No eeW has been obtained as
to the perpetrators.
About o'clock yesterday afternoon Cor
oner Eyers received a telephone message
from the stone quarrles, near Temescal, that
man had been drowned in an excavation
at the quarry. On going out it was ascer-
tanned that the body had not been recovered,
but it was also learned that a young Italian
employee of the company intended to go into
a portion of the excavation with his horse
and cart to wash them off. The horse SHE'D
and they all went into a hole twenty-five
feet deem full of water. Man and horse
were bot drowned. At late hour last
night the body had not been recovered nor
was the name of the deceased learned.
The Republican primaries passed off quiz

THE MINoRITY's VIEWS.
Report in Favor of the Free Coinage Bill
Presented to the HOUSE


Presented to the House.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 49, - Representative
Bartine of Nevada, in behalf of the minority
members of the House Coinage Committee.
to-day submitted report in favor of the
passage of the Silver Free Coinage Bill
The report begins with an expression of
regret that the majority delayed its report
so long as to render it practically impossible
Tor the House to consider the bill during the
present Congress The minority, the report
says, have no doubt of the ability of the
United States to establish and maintain A
double standard, even without European
cooperation, and predict if the United
States adopted free coinage it would re-
ceiye support from the principal nations of
the old world.
In conclusion the report admits the
difficulty OF forecasting the actual result of
financial legislation, but says: I'VE firmly
believe the complete restoration of silver
Will lnure to the best interests of the coun-
try. We do not pretend TO entertain the be-
hel that the question of frse coinage in
wolves any such alternatives as national
prosperity or national ruin. We believe that
under any system of finance at all likely to
be adopted, the American Republic will
move steadily forward, and our people will
continue the happiest and most prosperous
upon the face of the earth. 1t is only
question of what is the best course to pur-
sue, and we feel assured that the double
standard promises more prosperity than the
maintenance of the single standard"

that he will refuse to solemnize the remar-

gives as his reason for such stand, and be-
lieves the ministry is generally. in accord
with him, that marriage is divine institu-
ton, and tho sacred obligation cannot be as
sumed by any human being but once The
Bible expressly epjoins that no man shall
put asunder what God has Joined together !;
hence if the civil authorities assume the
power to sever the bonds of wedlock let
