1UINId merchants was
raised over the second ship to be sent from
this port by the men who have dared to tell
the great octopus of the Pacific Coast that
its exaetions and rates will no longer hamper
the trade Of California. The flag raised
yesterday is what is technically known as
a house-fag, and is called by sailors bur
gee," but it means whole lot more to the
merchants of the Pacific Coast than 1t does
to the sailors. 1t is the symbol OF a deter
mined and successful effort upon the part
of the business men to forever break the
shackles that have so long bound them.
II the steamer Mexico, the second snip to
leave this port under control of the North
American Navigation Company, had twice
the capacity she has every inch OF room In
the hold would be filed with freight The
ship will leave the dock at Lombard street
on Saturday and, after crowding every inch
of room and piling away every pound OF
freight possible. there will still be left on
the dock large pile oftrelght.
There has been considerable talk about
the passenger service of the new line, and
Captain Merry explains the situation as II
is. The contract between the Panama road
and the Navigation Company does not
provide that the last named corporation
shall engage in the passenger business with
in period OF SIX months. After the Mexico
was chartered and the fact was made known
concerning the charter, many applications
were received for passage to New York. 1t
was decided by the company, in view of
this, to take passengers to the number of
thirty on the Mexico and the matter is fully
understood and agreed upon in New York
by the agents of the Panama Railroad Com
pany. Passengers will go through in about
tweEty-seYen days, and will be we'll cared
for en route.
1t may be added that every berth aboard
the Mexico open for purchase has been filed
for days, aud if The new company So de-
sired they could start their second steamer
from this pofT not only loaded to its fall
capacity with freight but with full compile
ment Of passengers. Slowly but surely
and they evidently intend 10 make no mis-
takes.
The Mexico will make one or more stops
at Central American ports, having on board
shipments for Guatemala and other places.
The North Pacific Coast Railroad an
nOunces a summer schedule to take effect
April 16 next. There Will be three extra
trips made daily by the ferry boats, making
in all ten trips per day, and on Sundays
there will be twelve trips. Trains TO sum
mer resorts will be run accordingly.
Ielegrams we're received from the officers
OF the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad yester-
day notifying tho agents Of the company
here that the strike of employees on their
line was at an end. the places of the
strikers have been filed. and all trains are
moving on time. The men who caused the
trouble are leaving the country" was the
telegram received.

and there would be no necessity for the
Government to issue bonds for any pur-
pose. Applause II carried with it not
only the promise of the maintenance of a
parity between gold and silver but it
carried that parity. [Applause.]
McMillin inquired whether the gentle
man proposed to follow this bill up with
proposition for free coinage, and Wilson
rejoned that he was satisfied it was the
earnest desire Of the Democratic admins
tration not only to support the existing
silver circulation In this country but to in
crease the issue of silver currency TO the
utmost extent 1t was safe to do so and to
keep silver Cd a parity with gold. LAP
plause.l The speaker then declared that
the first benefit to accrue from this bill
was the restoration to the people of their
money, and a recess was taken until s
o'clock this evening.

THE ACT SUSTAINED.
Pasadena Goes i'm for Shade Trees and
Trimming Hedges.

PASADENA. Aug. ga special election
was held here to-day to decide whether
or not the city should come under the pro-
visions of an act passed by the last Legis-
lature which confers upon city cOunclimen
the power to regulate and enforce the
planting of shade trees on public thorough
fares; also the trimming of hedges and
the eradication of certain weeds. the ex-
pense being assessed against the negligent
property-owner. Only small vote was
cast, but there was an overwhelming ma
j0rity in favor of the adoption Of the act,
out of total of 1873 votes there being but
nine opposed to the measure.
The election possesses special local In
terest for the reason that the act in ques'
ton was drawn up by c. T. Hopkins, a
distinguished citizen of Pasadena, aud
was passed by The Legislature through Inc
efforts of Assem- blyman Simpson, also OF
Pasadena. The results of the rigid en-
forcement of the act in public improve
ments are expected to be far-reaching.

Go to the Fair.
Several Concerts to Be Given, the
Numbers Consisting of Their Own

CHICAGO, Aug. 26.-The sky was slightly
overcast with clouds this morning, but not
enough to prevent llarge attendance at
the fair. A special exhibition of machin-
cry and appliances was given in Machinery
Hall, one of the many unique features
being the supplying of free lemonade by
the Worthington pumps. taking the place
of the water usually supplied by them.
Judging of the livestock was continued
in the presence OF stock-fanciers from all
parts of the world
Word has been received by Director
General Davis that the famous Mormon

TO PUT IT TO SLEEP.
The Senate Will Quietly Shelve
the Wilson Repeal Bill.
1t Will Take Up the Voorhees, neas-
ure and Send That Over to the
House.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 26.-The prevailing
impression as to the probable action of the
two houses on the silver question finds ex-
preston as follows: The vote on the Will
son repeal bill will be taken Monday in
the House, and the silver purchase clause
OF the Sherman law, as far as that body is
concerned, will be wiped out of existence.
The bill will then go to the Senate, where
1t will be referred to the Finance Commit.
tee, which will promptly pigeon-hole it.
The Senate will go right straight along
talking silver, as it has been doing fer
several days. 1t will do this for
two weeks. probably longer before the
final vote will be taken. The bill which
will be passed will be the voorhees, bill.
not the Wilson bill from the House, which
will slumber on quietly in the room of the
Finance Committee. TLen the Voorhees,
bill will go over to the House. There it
will doubtless be acted on with little delay.
though there may be another food of
oratory, because, as there is some differ
ence between the Senate and House meas
ures, the silver men may insist on more
talk. IL there is a prospect Of contest,
however, the cloture will be speedily ap-
piled and The bill passed. 1t will then be
ready for the Presidents signature. The
VOORHEES, bill only differs from the Wilson
bill in making the declaration in favor of
bimetallism.
Meanwhile the canvass of the standing
OF the House aud the final closing of The
ranks for the vote Of Monday on the part
OF the friends of the repeating of the silver
purchase law more than sustains their first
estimates OF the vote they will cast for re-
peats. They have come to the conclusion
that ratio of 16 TO Will get the heaviest
vote from the silver men. A few If ore
conservative members will vote for 90 to l,
but they will be more than offset by he
Populists and the silver extremists who
are bound TO have free coinage at l6 to
or nothing.
a member of the repealers' committee
SAID this afternoon that the lowest posi-
BILE majority on any of the ratios was
forty-seven. ana he believed the figures
would average about sixty. Several men,
bers VINO were not counted upon have
come into the administration column
within the past few days.
CHEYENNE, Wyo.. Aug. 26.-A public
meeting was held here Tonight under the
auspices of the American Bimetallic
League to discuss the silver question.
Speeches were made and resolutions
adopted protesting against the repeal of
the Sherman act, unless coupled with a
law establishing free and unlimited coin
age of 81 liver at a ratio OF 10 to /. The
meeting also voted to send the resolutions
to Senator Carey and Representative
Coffoen. Representatives. of all political
parties were present at the meeting.
