The Oakland was at the pier. The 6:15
trip is one that usually carries a thousand
or more passengers-people who have
been spending a day in the Alameda
County resorts-but tie crowd that came
over on that trip last night did not exceed
200. AS the Oakland swung out the Ro-

There goes the Rosalie." vent up from
the little crowd on the Oakland. Look
at the load! Must be 1000 people aboard
her."
The Rosale was loaded down to the
water line. Her cabin was crowded with
lovers of genuine opposition and honest
treatment. The forward and after decks
above and below were black with delighted
patrons, and every available inch of deck
room was taken by an appreciative Gus
toner of the Davies Ferry aud Transpor-
tation Company.
The Oakland tried to keep up with the
pace the Rosalie kept, and her paddles
churned and splashed as they were urged
onward. The gliding little Rosaie's screw
sent her spinning across the stream and
she docked few minutes before the al
most empty boat of the octopus entered
her slip. There were five to one more peo-
pie on the Rosalie than on the Oakland.
and such was the smallest ratio of COM
pariSon throughout the day.

A GREAT KNOCKOUT.

Never since the opposition ferries have
been esta blished has there been such day
for the liberation of Oakland as was yes
terday.
J. NJ. Bassett was interviewed by CALL
reporter and stated that yesterday was the
worst knockout the Southern Pacific ever
got. He said the Rosale carried s570 pas
sengers, the Whitney boat about 800 and
the railroads Alameda only about 400.
Even then the great bulk of their pas
sengers were overflows from the Rosalie

That Is the Prospect in
Congress.
CRISP'S LIST OF DEBATERS.
Nearly Hundred Have Announced
Their Intention of EnIightening
the House on Silver.
Special to The MORNING CALL.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 13,-Congress ha.
settled down to work with degree of ex
petition almost unknown in its history
and with an apparent determination to da
something that promises we'll for the out
come.
Fortunately for the majority ip the Sem

action. Tho Democratic caucus committee

Gus committee, and so the silver question
is not likely 10 figure in formal way in
the proceedings of the Senale this week.
Il is entirely possible, and even probable.
that speeches will be delivered upon the
subject, but if so they will be based upon
some such resolution as that introduced by
Senator Lodge calling for vote upon the
repeal of the silver-purchase section of
the Sherman act a1d not upon bill regu-
larry reported from the Finance Commit
tee and ready for imm ediate action.
The programme of the House has been
definitely fixed by the adoption OF the or
der introduced Friday last by Bland. The
Houses time will be devoted exclusively
70 the consideration Of the silver question
under the rules of the last House govern
ing general debate. Notwithstanding the
apparent lack of interest in the discussion
by the members Saturday, the mum ber of
applications for recognition already on the
Speakers list demonstrates that the pc
riod allotted to debate-eleven days under
the general rules and three days under the
fve-Ininute rue-wil be all occupied.
There are now between ninety and 100
names enrolled by the Speaker, the great
majority of whom probably expect to talk
the full hour allowed by the rules. If ir
appears that the time for debate will be
too short to accommodate all who wish to
speak, night sessions will be held to
lengthen the period, but this expedient, it
is believed. will not become necessary be-
fore next week. with the expiration of
which the debate will close.

the Senate. My understanding, however,
is that the debate on the silver question,

the Sherman law OH August 22-will begin
at once. possibly Tomorrow"

the Davie Company had to leave about
that number of persons behind at Oakl and

The Rosalie brought over tremendous

to one mans count $50. and that is be-
ieved TO be about $50 short OF the actual

before her decks were fully cleared. She
