1t is said at the mint bureau Of the Treas
ury Department that should the Bland
seigniorage bill, which has now passed
both the House and the Senate, become a
law, the coinage. of s55.O00,OO0 of silver
bullion would have to be done at the mints
at Philadelphia, San Francisco and New
Orleans, which are, in fact, the only mint Is
of the government now in operation. EX-
elusive of other coirage the Philadelphia
mint, it Is thought could turn out about
$1,UO,0OO per month, the San Francisco
mint about the same amount, and the New
Orleans mint about 100000 per month. The
San Francisco mint, however, has only
about S16WO,OO0 in silver bullion on hand,
and the New Orleans mint only about So
5OO,OO. So that after the supply now on
hand at these mntS had been exhausted,
the remaining si0,OOO,OO would have to be
coined at the Philadelphia mint alone. The
whole time, therefore, which would be
necessary to coin the seigniorage would
be approximately about two years and two
months.

tracks. about in the middle of 18th street
An eastbound car had just passed them
when the smaller of the children started to
cross the tracks. just as car No. was
within about fifteen feet of it.
Thrown Under the Fender,
The motorman. realizing the danger the
child was In, shouted at it and applied his
brakes, but the little one, all unconscious
OF the danger, continued across the tracks,
and the next instant the car struck it and
threw it under the fender. The body was
caught by the fender and dragged twenty
or thirty feet.

Of twelve or fourteen miles an hour, he had
clear track, and the children gave 10 in
dication of an intention to cross the tracks
A moment later, however, the smaller OF
the children started across the track when
the car was about fifteen feet from it.
He shouted to it, and applied his brakes
but was too late, and the next instant the
little one was struck by the fender and
dragged until the car was stopped, abou,
twenty-five feet.

1t is presumed that Admiral Benham has
not yet sailed from Rio for Bluefieids, as he
has been instructed to do, for the Navy De
partment has not yet received the custom
airy notice of the departure of the ship The
cause for the delay is believed to lie in the
fact that difficulty has been experienced by
the admiral in securing promptly the large
supply of stores and coal that will be needed
for the long voyage.

 The perpetrators of the recent bur glaries have not yet been placed with in the pale of the law.

w. II. Williams Accidentally Takes
 Too Much Morphine.

Too Much Morphine. An overdose of morphine came near solving the mystery of death for w. H. Williams last Monday night. Will jams is a Colorado miner who had only recently arrived in town. He suffered an injury while on the journey here, aud not being in an alarming condi- ton of prosperity he applied for ad- mission to the city hospital. The au- thorities did not think his was case for public charity and his request was denied.
 Monday night, the pain becoming almost unbearable, Williams bought some morphine and entering the saloon of T. Wagoner he swallowed some of the drug, taking the precaution to tell the bartender he had done so to re- lieve his suffering. The morphine acted quickly. Becoming drowsy, Williams sat down on chair and was soon sound asleep. Fortunately, the bartender noticed his lethargio con- dition and he tried to awaken him, but the patient had lost all conscious ness and was fast sleeping into death. City Marshal Bayless aud Dr. Francis were summoned and the usual heroic treatment was put into hasty requis- ition. After a great many hard rubs and a vigorous dumping Williams was brought back from the brink of eternity, but he'll be laid up some time as result of the rolling he re- ceived. It was purely an accidental case Williams unwittingly took an overdose of the deadly drug. He is quite young man.

The Pains of Rhcuma tfsm

According to tho best authorities. orig mate in a morbid condition of the blood. Lactic acid, caused by the de- composition of the gelatinous and all Luminous tissues, circulates with the blood and attacks the fibrous tissues, particularly in the joints, and thus causes the local manifestations of the disease. The back and shoulders are the parts usually affected by rheuma- tism. and the joints at the knees, ankles, hips and wrists are also some- times attacked. Thousands of people have found in Hoods Sarsaparilla a positive and permanent cure for rheu. matism. It has had remarkable sue cess in curing the most severe cases. The secret of its success lies in the fact that it attacks at once the cause of the disease by neutrnlizing the tactic acid and purifying the blood, as well as strengthening every function tof the body.

A Man With a Gun.

Some gay and bibulous person tried to revive the memories of the dark ages in Flagstaff by shooting mp u c town" during the early watches of Sunday morning. The reverberation of the pistol shots awoke the echoes and the "light' sleepers hurrIedly struggled into their loose apparel and rushed out to subdue the flames of an imaginary fire. They found nothing but the most beautiful snow in Amer. ica and the iiend that had disturbed the peace and quietude of the slumber. ing town had disappeared in the shadows. Those who were aroused from pleasant dreams are naturally vengeful and we advise the roysterer to bring his gun to this office for safe- keeping This is not intended as a threat. but simply as gentle admon- ton that Flagstaff has outgrown swaddling clothes and refuses to be "shot up" at all hours of the night.

was adopted limiting further speeches
to five minutes. Then Cochran deliver
ed vigorous and eloquent speech
against surrendering to the senate.
Better no tariff legislation than the
senate bill, - he declared.
A division of the Crisp resolution was
demanded, so as to haye.a separate vote
on the fret part to recede from the disa-
greement to the senate amendments
and the provisions for separate bills.
The first part was adopted by a rising
vote of 130 to 21, and the second part
without division. The caucus then ad-
journed. Among those who voted
against the resolution were the Louis
lana members, Warner StrAus, Tracy,
Cochran, Covert and Dunphy, of New
York; Cooper of Indiana, johnson of
Ohio, Kilgore-of Texas and Tarsney of
Missouri.
The vote on the passage of the senate
