OPPOSED TO FREE COINAGE.
Senator Carlisle Freely Expresses His Views
on the Silver Question.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9-Senator Carlisle
has addressed letter to John A. Lyme OF
henderson. KY, in answer TO question
whether the Senator had heretofore beer
In favor Of the free coinage of silver and
whether his views on the subject had un-
dergone any change. Senator Carlisle says:
AN answer to your question depends
largely upon what you mean by the free
coinage OF silver. IL you mean the policy
urged by many. under which the United
States Government would be compelled by
law TO receive 60 cents worth OF silver
bullion when presented by an owner aud
coin 1t at the expense of the people of the
country and compel the people by law to
accept the coin as an equivalent to 100 cents,
my answer is am not now, ana never have
been in favor OF il. 1 now stand where my
lamented predecessor, Senator Beck. and
stood together In 1878, when the so-called
Bland-Alllson bill was passed by Congress.
1t is my opinion that the declarations made
upon the subject by the Democratic party
In its recent national party convention are
perfectly sound in principle and enunciate
the i. rly true public policy"
In conclusion the senator says he wnf-
support any measure that will fully re-
monetize silver and insure an equality %
the dollars coined from the Two metals.

THE SALMON PACK.
Columbia River Heads the List With an
Increase GVer Last Year.

ASTORIA. Aug. Gilmore, Sanborn & Co.,
who have compiled returns of the salmon
pack at the Columbia River canueries in
Astoria and along the river and on both tn
Oregon and Washington Shores reported as
follows:
The season which closed to-day has been
remarkable for the scarcity in the Columbia
OF Chinook salmon. 1t is found from a care
ful estimate that the % cannefSes on the
Columbia River have packed i4S, 600 cases-2fs
all grades. The proportion of Royal Chi
nook s 248,0 cases, the remaining 200, coo
cases being composed OF steelheads and
bluebacks.
Compared with last years pack there is a
decfease OF 100000 cases of Royal Chinook.
The total pack, however, exceeds that ef
last year by $4,000 cases. This increase is
largely due TO the larger production in the
canneries at Cascades and The Dalles,
where the larger percentage Of the pack was
steelheads and bluebacks.
The seasont.has been stormy. and there
has been freshet in the river all summer,
owing to the tsrdy melting of snow In the
mountain ranges. The canneries have sold
all their best salmon at an advance on last
years prices. Two ships are now loading
here with salmon for London and one for
New York.
Advices from Alaska Indicate that the
pack will be limited to half that of last
year, as 1t was agreed upon.
In Brltish h Columbia the pack on the
Fraser River is said to be comparative
failure. aud the total product of that coun-
try Will not exceed one-half Of last years
pack.
