IN THE SENATE.
In the morning hour Stewart intro
ducod bill to provide for the free and
unlimited coinage OF silver, and it WAS
referred to the committee on finance.
Gray moved to proceed to the con
sideration Of the Chinese exclusion bill,
but was appealed to by Hoar to with
hold that motion in order to let the
Senate act on the bill for the relief of
the sufferers from the recent cyclone on
the Sea Islands and on the coast of
South Carolina and Georgia. Butler
joined in the appeal and Gray yielded.
The cyclone relief bill was then taken
up and Cockrell said that he would
object to Its third reading to. day. Hoar
expressed his regret that parliamentary
ingenuity should be resorted to prevent
the granting Of relief to those suffering
people. German thought that the bill
should 60 to the committee on appro-
priations and he made that motion, but
Hoar argued against the motion OF ref
erence.
The discussion was continued by Call,
MCPHERSON and Gallery against Cor
mans motion and by Allen and PETER in
favor of 1t. Stewart had also something
to say about it in connection with the
late silver cyclone, which he thought
would be much more disastrous in it's
effects than the natural cyclone on the
coast OF South Carolina. Finally at -.
m. the bill went over without action,
the pending motion being Gorman's to
refer the bill to the committee on ap.
preparations.
The House concurrent resolution for
final adjournment tomorrow at D. m.
was laid before tho Senate, and was, on
motion OF German, referred to the com.
mittee on appropriations.
AT 2 p. m. the House bill, to extend
the time for the extension of tho Chinese
expulsion act, was taken up, and the
Senate spent the remainder of the days
session in discussing it. All the amend
ments that were offered to it were either
Withdrawn or rejected, and the bill was
passed in the exact form in which it
came from the House.
After brief executive session the
Senate at $40 adjourned until noon to

HAVANA, Nov. 2.-The steamship
City of Alexandria, belonging to the
New York and Cuba Mail Steamship
Company, from Havana and Matsnzas
for New York, has been burned off CO.
jimar. The news was brought to the
city early this morning when small
boat, in which were the second officer
and eleven other persons from the City
of Alexandria, entered the harbor and
reported the loss of the steamer.
They say that an explosion occurred
yesterday afternoon on board the
steamer and that shortly after she was
burning hercely. The cause of the ex-
plosion is unknown. The fire gained
such Roadway that Captain Hoffman
saw it would be impossible to save the
vessel and orders were given to aoanc on
the ship.
The steamer had 400 hogsheads of
rum on board and this, when it caught
fire, caused immense masses OF flames
to ascend from the hatchways the
matches having been blown off There
was great excitement on board, but the
officers soon succeeded in restoring
order.
There was con parativelY little sea
running and but slight difficulty was ex-
perienced in lowering away the boats.
The scene Of the burning of the steamer
was only twenty-five miles from
Havana, and the officers in command
OF the boats had little fear OF not reach
ing that port or some other place along
the coast
In the first moment of terror several
mon are said to have jumped into the
sea. Those who arrived in the small
boat this morning said that sixty had
been drowned, many OF them through
the upsetting Of a boat. Later reports,
however, show that none of the small
boats upset, and that many OF those at
hrst repor ted as lost reached Bacuranao
in safety.
The number of persons drowned is
now believed to be thirty-four or thirty
i've, and among them were Herr Leib-
niger, cabin passenger, whose home is
In Germany. and several Cuban steve
dores. Nineteen of the survivors have
been brought here by tugs, and among
whom is Captain Hoffman.
Tho City OF Alexandria was one of
the fastest and largest OF the American
ships employed in West India trade.
She was an iron screw steamer of 2,4sO
tons burden, and was built by John
Roach ~ Sons, of Chester, Pa.
