ANrr-oPT1oN BILL.
Effect of Silver Coinage on the
Wheat Product.

Wheat Product.
WASHINGTON, Feb. Js.--The sill
yer question wss broacbed again
yesterday and this time IL was In
bearing before the house committee
on agriculture on the antl-option
bill, which has been under discus
sion by the committee for the past
two weeks. Charles A. Pillsbury,
Minneapolis miller, was on the
stand. He stated in the course Of
his remarks the worlds surplus sup
ply of wheat was steadily dwindliDR
and It Is being drawn on each year
to meet the increasing consumption
of wheat. He said If one man
owned the wheat crop raised In the
United States this year it would
have been possible 10 get S1.50 per
bushel for 1t from Europe just as
easy as 80 cents, because Europe had
to have it. Russia had none to ex-
port and India had shipped its sur
plus the previous year.
Lewis-Then the statistical posi-
tion of wheat has been growing
better for five years past, and the
price, except for the spur Of this
year, has been growing weaker?
Pillsbury-That,s so.
Lewis-Does not the value OF
money have a great deal to do with
IL? Isn't money worth more than
ever?
Pittsburgh think SIS a whole
dollar will buy more goods now than
ever.
Lewis-If we had 81 500, 900, 900
instead of $3.50, 100000 in circulation
would not the farmers get more for
their wheat?
Pillsbury-More nominal dollars
but perhaps they should not buy 30
much. In reply to further cues
tion from Lewis, Pillsbury admitted
that short selling alone would not
account for the decline In wheat,
which was too great to be charge
able to one cause alone.
In his address TO the committee
advocated the passage of
an anti-option bill. Pillsbury said
there should have been high prices
for wheat this year, but, partly in
consequence of short selling, millers
and others are living from hand to
mouth. The world was drawing on
the surplus supply Of wheat each
year, for the consumption was
increasing.

Reciprocity With Mexico.

CITY OF MEXICO, Feb. 1S.-One
of the most prominent personages
in Mexico said recently that recipro-
city with the United States was an
improbability. When asked his
reason for the belief, he replied:
"The United States made attempts
to secure exemption from duties, or
at least considerable reduction, on
American wheat, corn and flour.
The Mckinley law, however, offers
Mexico no important concessions,
and he thought Mexico will not in.

ALBANY, Or, Feb. I8.-A special
from Yaquina says: since the three
men belonging to the sealing
schooner Oscar and Hattie, of Vic
tOria, deserted last Sunday with the
ships boat, the Oscar and Hattie
has been lying off the coast in the
hope Of finding some trace of the
men and the boat. Tuesday about
2:30 y. No., while two or three miles
of shore, Captain Gault with four
men, LONE, Witlingham, McDon-
aid and Ralph Starlett, took one
of the remaining hoats and started
for the shore. Nothing was heard
Of them after this, although a good
lookout was Kept hv those on the
schooner until 10 O'Clock that night,
when voice was heard by some
one aboard the vessel, but no one
could be seen. The voice was heard
again several times, aud and as soon
as boat could be lowered search
was begun, and in a short time a
man was discovered lying on top of
boat. 1t proved to be Ralph Star
lett, who had been clingiug to the
boat for four or five hours, and
when found he was in AN exhausted
condition. From him it was learned
that in going through the surf at
the mouth Of the Siletz river the
boat upset, and he was the only one
saved. The remainder of the party
were helped on the boat by Starlett,
who is good swimmer, at different
times, swimming out when neces-
sary, but they failed TO keep their
hold, and were washed off and
drowned. The boat was washed
gradually out toward the schooner,
but as the evening was foggy he
could not be seen. He discovered
an oar some distance from him and
swan from the upturned boat and
secured it and used it with one of
his garments to attract the attention
of those on the schooner, but to no
purpose. There is hope of finding
the bodies. The mate, Peters, took
the vessel to the mouth of the va
quina bay, where he secured the ser.
vice ofthe tug Rustler, which towed
the schooner into this port. She
lies in the harbor between Yaquina
and Newport until instructions
from her owner in Victoria can be
received.
