MIR. Blair, who has a majority OF the coin
age committee at his back, may bring for

that II will become q law, but with the in

All sensible men in the silver ranks recog-
nize the fact that the free coinage measure
cannot become a law as long as Mr.. Cieve-
land is president, unless it can command a
two-thirds majority IN each house, and this
Is admitted to be out OF the question.

THRILLING VESSELS HI IN.
Estimate of tho Seasons Catch Furnished
from San Francisco.

from san Francisco.
SAN Francisco, Dec. 81. n. Knowles,
manager of the Pacific Steam Whaling COM
pany, makes the following statement to the
Associated press in regard to the catch of
the whaling feet during the season of 1898:
Exaggerated reports have been circulated
regarding the stock of whalebone that would
be put on the markets. / would state that
all the vessels have arrived hat will come
down this season and we know the exact
quantity of bone that will be available for
sale. The reports from the boats were ma
terlally modified by recent arrivals at this
port and the figures first given for the catch
were considerably reduced by later reports.
The total catch for the season of 1893
amount to 3l5 whales. OF this amount
there are now in the Arctic in vessels not
sent down to San Francisco seventy-three
whales, which will not arrive here until
October, 1894. This leaves 242 whales, the
whalebone from which aggregates 1863, 900
pounds after deducting for loss in weight in
preparing the bone for the market.
"The old bone on hand unsold is Al 900
pounds, which gives a total stock of 404, 900
pounds. OF this there lave been sold AZ, 900
pounds. leaving the stock now on hand 1854. 900
pounds, as against bone on hand this time
last year of 4O2, 900 pounds, which bone was
selling at from 81 to s. per pound.n

About the Elections Law.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-The bill for the re-
peal Of the general elections law is expected
TO receive the attention Of the senate at an
early day in the session which begins to-
morrow, but whether the subject will be
taken up on the bill now on the calendar,
which was introduced by Senator Hill early
in the extra session and reported by the ju-
dietary committee, or whether the senate
will elect TO wait until the COM
mittee can consider and report upon
the bill which passed the house, cannot
De stated. The only material difference be-
tween the two bills is found in the fact
that the Hill bill deals exclusively with that
portion of the election laws relating to the
election franchise, which is repealed, while
the house bill accompllshes the same pur-
pose and also repeats the section of the law
dealing with crimes in the national elections,
and is. therefore, more sweeping II is not
believed the bill will give rise TO prolonged
debate. but that republican senators will
content themselves with putting on record
their protests.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-The estimate of the
secretary of the treasury of government ex-
peuditures and receipts for the fiscal year
lS94-5 has not yet been given to the public.
1t has been withheld later than usual, posi-
bly, because the secretary was DESTROYS OF

place it would also have been Il guide to him.

Upon the subject OF currency is the follow
ing: The comptroller has been urged to
make some specific recommendation with
respect TO the law, so far as IL pertains to
the issuing OF currency. After n careful
consideration of the question, the comp
troller is OF the opinion thai aside from the
recommendations which W ere suggested
allowing banks to issue circulating notes TO
an amount equal to the par value of the
bonds held to secure circulation and abolish
ing q portion OF the ;sX on national bank
circulation, the public goodwill BE- best sub
served at this time by making no radical
change in the provisions OF the law as it now
stands.
The financial situation of the past months
was not the result of either a lack in the
volume of currency, of whtch there is now a
plethora, nor the want OF elasticity in the
present system of issuing 1t, but arose from
a loss Of confidence on the part of the peo-
pie III the s%olvency of the distinctly none
tary institutions of the country.
Emergency Has Passed.
In view of the fact that there is now q
vast amount of unemployed currency In the
country, as is shown by the daily money re-
turns from the commercial %centers, it would
seem that whatever needs appeared some
months SINCE for enlarGing to any marked
extent the circulating medium have now
ceased to exist, and therefore congress is af-
forded an opportunity of giving to the whole
subject that careful research and investiga-
tion that its Importance in all of its bearings
demands.
1t will not do to place upon the statute
books any experimental legislation upon this
subject, but whenever d new law governing
bank issues is enacted, IL must be one that
Immediately upon gong in o operation com
mands in every respect the confidence of the

the meantime il is respectfully suggested
that congress, either through n monetary
commission, created for such purposes, or

systems of bank issue now III operation and

EVERYDAY TRAGEDIES.
Quiet, Ordi ,ary Life Furnishes More TraE-
cSlies Than War or Pestilence.

Quiet. Ordi ,ary Life Furnishes More Trag-
cSlies Than War Pestilence.
1.-THE tragic and the metaphysical are
in reality inseparable. Let us take u
familiar illustration" writes Walter
Blackburn Harte in the New England
Magazine. THE tragedy of Bala-
clava charge is not in the roar of artil-
lery. the confused mass of wildly gal
loping horses. laundering madly along,
unbridied or riderless, the cries and
clash of arms, the forms upright or
swaying in the saddle. the blare and
din. sooty clouds and the fire and smell
of gunpowder. All this makes Il fine
picture; but the tragedy lies in the mind
of each individual rider. who has rislsed
his divinity in this hideous insanity of
war
Too many writers seem to think that
tragedy consists solely of mu1 ders. acci-
dents. suicide. flood. fire. slaughter. and
the rattle of muslletry. These things
may be either the acconpaniments. or
the causes of tragedy, it is true, but the
tragedy itself is invariably in the minds
of the actors or onlookers And there
are the tragedies Of quiet, ordinary life.
There is the tragedy of noble purposes
defeated. Tragedies are taking place
every day between actors who do not
move out of their chairs. Every doctors
Office, every lawyers sanctum, every
court of law-every house in large
city has been at some time the scene of
4 tr7gedy. All houses wherein men
have lived and died are haunted houses
"A man may live 4 life filed with
tragedy and never go to the wars or get
shipwrecied: indeed, he may never
leave his study. his house, or his garden.
All this is, of course. obvious; bat one
would not imagine it to be SO from
constant reading of the criticisms on
the fiction which goes behind actions
and discovers souls"
