WASHINGTON CRY, June LIN the Sem
ate the silver question came up unexpect-
edly this afternoon in connection with
the bill to regulate the manner in which
property shall be sold under the
orders of the United States courts.
Teller offered an amendment requiring
legal tender money to be received In pay
ment of judgments. Sherman held that
would involve violation Of specific con-
tracts requiring gold payments, and OBJ
jected to the consideration of the bill. The
yeas and nays were. called on considera-
ton. and resulted: Yeas 25. nays II.
There being no quorum a roll call was
ordered.
Hill and Hunton of Virginia. the new
senator, voted in the affirmative. The
call showed the impossibility of securing
a quorum without breaking pairs, 50 the
bill was passed over without prejudice and
the Senate resumed consideration of the
calendar.
On motion of Aldrich, and without a
single dissent from either side of the
chamber, it was decided that no vote
should be taken on the free coinage bill
until after June ii, and in all probability
there will not be one until after the Chicago
convention is finished. This agreement
was arrived at after Sherman had closed
his two-days' argument against the bill,
which in his last words he characterized
as "frightful demon to be resisted and
opposed" Stewart took the floor to reply
to Sherman, but yielded to motion to ad-

Iieved to have been caused by reckless
miner who took naked lamp into the
presence of noxious gases. Others at
tribute the fire to an incendiary. Large
crowds of excited persons, consisting
mainly of the families of the unfortunate
miners, are pressing around the entrance
of the shaft bewailing the calamity Af-
fecting scenes are witnessed on all sides.

Smallpox Not Epidemic at Vancouver.


VANCOUVER, B. c., June L-[Special. +
A lady reported down with small
pox has proved to have meas
les. The case came into prom
inence through man getting the
health inspector out of bed at IL o'clock
to tell him to quarantine the house. This
man also told others, and the story in that
way was freely circulated. No new cases
having been developed and full time for
developement having passed the city may
now be delivered free from disease. The
PosT-INTELLIGESCER is widely read here,
and the papers friends look to it
to assist in discrediting the malicious and
exaggerated stories that have been
given currency by INSCRIPTIONS corre-
spondents and mendacity mongers. In May
There were registered nineteen births,
fifteen marriages and eight deaths. As
only two of these died from smallpox no
further proof is needed TO show that the
disease is not epidemic.
