AT WASHINGTON.

Washington. Aug. 15.-In the Senate
Senator Voorhees, dem. lnd.) introduced
q bill authorizing the issue of national
notes to the full value of the bonds
deposited. 1t was accompanied by a let
:er from Secretary Carlisle recommending
ITS passage as a measure of immediate
relief, and saying it will add $19.OOO,OW
to the circulation. Senator Hill intro
duced a resolution which lies on the
table, declaring it the sense of the senate
that nothing but financial legislation
shall be undertaken during the present
special session. Mr.. Vest Dem. Mo-
called up the resolution offered by him
last Tuesday in favor of. bimctallism,
and the free and unlimited coinage of
both gold and silver, and addressed the
senate on the subject. The silver dis
cussion in the house was continued in n
rather dcsultory manner, and the at
tcntion accorded to it is decidedly ~listless.
Mr.. Boatner Dem. La made the initi-
alive speech in favor of free coinage.
Mr.. Boatner was followed by Mr.. Layton
Dem. ohio for unconditional repeal, and
by Mr.. Patterson Dem. Tenn.) in the
same line.

Charged to Tramps.

Jamestown, n. D., Aug. II. After
three hours stubborn fighting with fierce
fumes, carried along ty high wind, TINS
city was saved from q repetition OF Far
go's disaster yesterday. The fire started
in the old rink on the west side of Fifth
avenue, corner of Second street, and soon
ignited the large three-story brick Capital
hotel. The walls of this building had not
yet fallen in when Mrs. Nelson's residence
caught fire. and q minute later the Met
ropolitan block, q three-story brick, was
blazing to the roof. The Daily Capital
office, in the basement, is a total loss.
The ormory of Company II was in this
building, but all arms and uniforms were
saved. The fire swept on to Banker
Lloyd's residence, levelins it to the
ground. Lloyd's big barn Jared the
same fate, being followed by James Her
bert's house and barn. Sam Wilder's
new cottage and Aid. Blood's residence
escaped, but four barns in the same To-
cality were destroyed. They belonged to
Hodge, Mitchell, Kurth and Fuld. This
completed the fires pathway to the river
on the west side of Fifth avenue. Up
town every effort was being made to
corfine the blaze to the west side, and
while the task looked hopeless for a
time, the fire boys won the victory. The
fire is supposed to have been started by
trnnps sleeping in the loft of the. old
rink. One man has been arrested on sus-
picion, and the city authorities are on
the lookout for the guilty parties. The
total loss is about $4,000, with insurance
nearly half that amount. The Alliance

buried. There was no loss of life, but

French

. During the recent meeting Of the
French and English ships at New York,
the following story, illustrative Of old
time marine manners, was related,
strangely enough, by a French officer:
An English admiral who was once Wis.
iting a French flagship, laid :lown his
quid on a convenient bulklIcad before
entering the officers quarters. When
he came out again, he was astonished
to find the quld in the place where he
had left 1t.
"Pooh!!' said he, in the hearing OF
some of the sailors, you Frenchmen
will never be true sea-dogs. No English
blue-jacket.. now. would ever have let
an admiral's q'dd alone"
Whercupon one of the French sailors
stepped up. touched his cap, and said:
"lscg pardon. admiral; / was chewing
your quid while you We're in there, but
l put it back, you know, when l heard
you coming out"

the Kansas and Texas Coal company OF

charged to the agitation of four or five
strikers who have been here for the past
ten days. Supt. Ramsey wants to keep

Of the mining mems troubles in Kansas,
