The Administration Estimate.

SAN FRANcIsco, Nov. 5.-The follow
ing Washington special appears in this
mornings Examiner: ''It doubtless
will astonish the politicians of the
country, particularly those in New
York, to learn that the figures in pos
session of members of the administra-
ton show the possible defeat of DAVID
B. Hill for governor by $4,000 plurality.
It is not claimed that these figures are
the result of any special canvass. They
are based simply on information that
could be obtained without unusual effort
and general knowledge of the situation
in that state. In estimating the prob
able vote in New York for governor the
administration have not confined them
selves to one method, but have made a
comparison of the general vote of the
last three years and detailed state
ment of the probable county pluralities.
These tables are in possession of officials
so close to the president that it is quite
certain they have been shown to Mr..
Cleveland. If any one has supposed
that the interest of the administration
has been confined solely to congressional
district fights, and that the complexion
of the next house has been alone mat
ter of moment, he has been misled.
Every move in the battle of the COVER
norship of New York state has been
followed closely by the president, whose
keen interest has been shared by his
cabinet, particularly by Secretaries La
mont and Bissell. Private Secretary
Thurber has kept himself thoroughly
posted on the New York situation, and
the probabilities have been gone over
again and again.

NOTHING UNUSUAL.


That Y@ra Ab~ae LAghtRimg CavOrtamg
ON AhipbOnrd.
When the captain of the steamship
Abana, from Dundee, came into port q
few weeks ago and told yarn about
. ball of fire doing insane things about
the decks of his ship, there were some
people who heard the tale with scorn,
and others who wrote poetry about it.
And now here comes another Dundee
skipper who tells of q similar electric
display.
He is Captain Lord, OF the British
steamer Croma, which lately arrived
in New York from Dundee. Captain
Lord says his ship encountered heavy
weather from the start. Seas beat
high, and the barometer dwarfed it.
self to 2S45.
That night there was a succession of
hail squalls, and the captain asserts
that during each squan every mast
head, yard-arm and gaff were ablaze
with composants, or st. Elmo's lights,
as mariners prefer to speak of them.
They came and went as the squalls
blew and subsidized. and, as these lasted
throughout the night, the ship was
several times illuminated with dancing
tips Of fire.
The ship during this time was driv-
ing before the gale with engines
stopped. She was lightly laden, and
the seas were swinging so high that it
was found necessary to stop the en-
gines to check the frightful racing
the propellers. Waves constantly
dashed over the ship, and~one Of the
vessels crew was badly injured by be-
ing thrown to the deck.
Toward morning the wind fell light
and then came in fitful gusts. Then |
the lightning got in its play, and for
IN hour or two the ship was in a per
feet blaze of sheet lightning.

weighs the ice as it is day by day put

the month look at the register will
show the exact number of pounds used
during that period. 1t indicates the
exact number of pounds of ice remain

whether or not it is necessary to order

attached to the use of the meter. Mr..

PAPER MONEY FOR GOLD.
The Gold Coins of Light Weight
Cause Trouble.

NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-Sub-treasury Of
ficials say an effort is being made in New
York to juggle the governments gold
Exporters are working all kinds of
sche mes to get full weight coins. They
are very anxious to get the head of gold
bars and bricks with the governments
stamp of fneneSS on them. Uncle Sam
has 46, 100000 worth OF these, but in order
to cut down exports some time ago he
made arule to redeem treasury notes only
in gold coin. The light weight coins COM
planned of are all within the legal limit,
one half 0 I one per cent, but the shippers
have felt the loss and have sorted the
coins, keeping the light weight ones at
home. The banks objected to them and
one foreign house took a lot TO
the sub treasury and asked that they be
redeemed in paper. This the Treasury
officials declined to do, saying the redeem
ing OF paper promises to pay did not carry
with it the reverse duty of redeeming
gold in paper. The only thing left to do
was to deposit the gold in the bank,
whence it would work its way back to
the Sub-treasury. The assay office has
received novel proposition from an eX-
porting house. 1t wanted to deposit Amer
lean gold coin ana have it melted into
stamped bars. The proposition was de-
clined, though IL the coin was light
weight or mutilated it could be re-melted
at the regular fee. A private detective
called at the assay officers for assistance

had been smuggled in from Mexico.
