A SURPRISE HERE
SGYden Passage by the Senate
Of Stewards Substitute Free
" Coinage Bill,
Twenty-Five Votes Cast for the
Bill and Twenty-Five
Against It.

WASHINGTON, July 2.-The friends of the
free coinage Of silver won great victory in
the senate to-day. When the bill came be-
fore that body at 2 o'clock it was weighted
down with the refusal made yesterday by
Mr.. Mcpherson to be bound by the agree
ment to have vote taken to-day and it
looked as if the end was in the dim dis
lance. But the senator from New Jersey
announced that he was. prepared to with
draw his objection and that he would in
terpose no obstacle or delay to the action of
the senate. Even after that it looked for
an hour or more as if there was to be post
ponement of the subject for at least another
week; but finally, after a good deal of dis
cussion, all preliminary obstacles were
swept away. and the vote was taken on Mr..
Uolph's motion to recomnlit the bill to the
senate committee on finance.
Friends and enemies Of tho measure were
willing to make that vote a test of their
relative strength; and the decision was in
favor of the friends of silver. On oil the
other votes that came after, victory was
still on the same side and finally the bill
was used by a majority of four votes.
Mr.. Mcpherson withdrew his request for
the privilege of addressing the senate on
the bill, and he also withdrew ''any and
all objections expr' ssed or i'm, lied, to the
order OF the senate" He should offer nc
objection and no dilatory motion anc
should do nothing to interfere with the
carrying into effect Of the order OF tho
Sc ate.
Mr. Stewart said he did not desire tt
place any senator at disadvantage, anc
he therefore proposed to fix Wednesday
next at clock for the time for taking thu
vote without further debate on the bill anc
amendments.
Mr.. German said that under the circurl
| stances those in charge OF the bill could no
| properly insist on going on with the bill
| without giving the gentleman an oppor
tunity to be heard
| Mr.. Pugh remarked that his colleague
Mr.. Morgan, was not in the chamber, ant
hoped that no agreement would be made il
his absence. Mr.. Stewart said, Then
withdraw my request until he comes.
Later Mr.. Morgan entered. and at 2 y. m.
during discussion as to parliamentary re
strictions imposed by the senate agreemen
on the bill, the president laid the bill be
fore the senate. Alter considerable discus
sion as 10 the agreement made for a vote
Mr.. Butler called for vote on the motion
of Mr. Dolph to recommit the bill to tn

LONDON, July 2..-The Inman line steamer
City of Chicago, which left New York June
% for Liverpool. is ashore on the Irish
coast.
The steamer went ashore in q dense fog
about half mile inside the west head Of
kinsale. The steamer ran her stem into
the cliff within half an hour of high water.
The sea was smooth and the wind mod
crate from the southwest and light. Alter
passing Browhead at $50 this morning the
steamer encountered dense fog. The
steamship felt her way along with the
usual precautions until near the cid head
of kinsale and within short dis.
lance of Queenstown harbor, when
suddenly harsh, grating sound
and jar of the ship from stem to stern
told that the bottom had been touched. 1t
was within an hour of high tide, when
many rock along the bold south
western shore of Ireland is covered
from view. and the ships officers
at once realized that they had got caught
on one of these dangerous places. The en-
gines worked were brought to full stop.

Chicago was fastened on the rocks so thai
she could not proceed the chief officer wer

FIRE LOSSES.

The tremendous fire losses which occur in this country, and which are increasing every year, are making it harder and harder for the fire insurance companies to do business. In the report of the insur- ance commissioner of Massachusetts which has just been presented to the legislature there are some significant statements. It appears that twenty-three fire insurance companies have ceased to do business in the State during the year, due in great measure to the unsatisfactory na- ture of the business. Notwithstanding the fact that there were no great con- fsgrations in Massachusetts during the year the losses for the year exceeded by nearly million and half the average losses for the past fourteen years, while the number of fires increased over the number for the preceding year by exactly eight hundred. Coming to the matter of causes, it is strikingly shown that a large proportion are preventable fires. Nearly ten per cent. each were caused by the Criminal carelessness of the builder in putting up defective chimneys," !" and in careless handling of lamps, and in the use of low grade of oil. It is certainly a most unsatisfactory showing that in total of 2,S92 fires for the year there appear but 31 that could not have been prevented by due caution.
 A similar condition of things exists all over the country. The yearly loss by fire is startling. So serious has the situation become that the national board of under writers has called the attention of congress to it. It is difficult to see what congress can do to better matters. What is needed is general conviction that there is no economy in building finder boxes and then playing with fire in them. Losses by fire are real losses, and they have reached such a magnitude in this country that all should be able to see that 8 continuance of the present arrangement will not pay.
