THE MEETING OF CONGR ass.

Owing to the non.arrival of the mail
nothing is known here at present as to
what they are doing in Congress. 1t is
supposed the President has submitted his
message and that Crisp has been elected
Speaker. Our citizens being anxious to
learn what was going on in Washington,
telegraphed for information and the
following was received:
WASHINGTON, Aug. 8, 1893.
There were introduced in the Senate
yesterday eight measures bearing upon
coinage and repeal, and one to restore
coinage of silver, by Mr.. Stewart, and
another by the same Senator to supply de.
ficiency in the currency. 1t will thus be
seen that members of the Senate have at
very early day begun consideration of
the financial question.
The most significant bill introduced in
tho Senate, perhaps, was one by Senator
Hill of New York. The measure he pre-.
sented leaves no doubt of his position on
the financial issue. While in favor of
repeating the purchasing clauses of the
Sherman Act, he unqualifedly pledged
himself to the country to favor bimetal
ism. Western people are congratulating
themselves on the position assumed by
Senator Hill. They are pleased that he
should have SO unquali6edly pledged
himself to bimetalism as to indicate a
willingness to favor subsequent legisla.
ton for the restoration of silver az q
money metal.
Free coinage men hold a conference to.
day in the Hall Of the House to agree
upon the time for taking final vote,
Rapid progress can be made. Otherwise
nothing can be done until the Speaker
appoints the committees on rules and
coinage.

The Redlands Citrograph says that

A. c. Yoacham, resident OF Meadow
Valley Wash, about ten miles south OIL
Panaca, was in town Monday, and re-
ports that on Friday at 10 a. m. shock
of an earthquake was distinctly felt by
himself and family, and a second shock
was experienced at midnight, These
tremors were not as violent, however, a,
one experienced by Mr.. Yoacham three
years ago in the same locality, when
crockery and other articles were displaced
and broken by the oscillations Of the
earth.

because they do not comprehend the

or by house falling upon them they
can't comprehend. SO they accept the
theory OF the gold lunatics and lay the
blame on the Sherman law.

The Wage Question ON the Comstoc

The Wage Question ON the Comstock
The Virginia City Miners Union held
a meeting July 28th, to consider the
proposition for reduction of wages from
the present standard Of 81 to So per day,
submitted by the management Of the
various Comstock mining companies. A
motion to return the document without
action, as the miners wages was less than
one.sixtieth per cent of the present cost
of operating the mines, was rejected and
the matter was referred to committee
to report at future meeting. That the
proposition to reduce wages will not be
accepted is foregone conclusion.
The proposition to the Comstock Me.
chanics' Union to accept cut Of rs per
cent below the present rate will undoubt.

the miners.

Determined to Die.

Susan Trainer, young woman in
New York, has made no less than
fifteen attempts at suicide within the
asst four years. Each time she tried
strangulation, and with very few ex-
captions nearly succeeded in her
efforts at self-destruction, life being
all but extinct when found. In
addition to her narrow escapes from
death at her own hands during the
last four years she has had three
others in the same period which were
accidental. Once she was struck by a
locomotive, once upset from boat
and once had her clothing caught fire.
In the first two of these accident cases
physicians said she could never re-
cover A curious feature about her
case is that nearly the whole period
named has been spent by the young
woman in Jail, and none of the at
tempts at self-dcstruction were made
within prison walls
