Philip RoSinos took to the small boat with
Frederick Peterson, Amel Balenc, Hammond

Thus disabled, they were Mt the mercy of

trusting to the force Of the wind and tide to
set them ashore. They, too, were over
turned, and struggled in the tumnltuous
surf about the rocks, finally reaching the
shore.
The waves drove the vessel harder and
harder upon the ugly rocks and she began
going to pieces, the wreck drifting 10 Canoe

The first mate, James Collins, was COM

A COMPROMISE BILL PREPARED.
II Repeats the Sherman Law and Re-
enacts the Bland Act.

Mr.. Cox of Tennessee. a member of the
banking and currency committee, and an
advocate OF free coinage, has prepared bill
as compromise for he defeated promotion
TO repeal the Sherman silver law. The bill
repeas the Sherman law, and re-enacts the
Bland law of S7S. with the proviso that the
legal tender character OF the notes shall not
be impaired.
The secretary of the treasury Is directed to
have coined the bullion purchased under the
Sherman law into standard silver dollars
and cover them into the revenues OF The
treasury; but the silver dollars provided for
under the Bland act, which is re-enacted,
are to have priority in coinage so far as prac-
ticable.
The treasury notes issued in payment for
bullion are to continue redeemable as now
provided for by law, and when redeemed
are to be destroyed. The tax OF 10 per
cent. on the circulation OF state banks Is re-
pealed.
Mr.. Cox thinks this bill will meet with the
approval of all cor "ervatiye silver men in
the House. Propositions such as the repeal
Of the Sherman law and the coinage OF the
bullion purchased under 1t can never become
law. This bill he thinks, can be passed.
