MILITARY CLAIMS SIGNED.

All Bills Contracted During the Big
Strike ATe Soon to BE Paid.
SACRAMENTO, CAL, April 1.-THE
Board of Examiners have signed a large
portion of the military claims that were
contracted during the late strike and they
will be paid within few days, as soon as
the Controllers force of clerks prepare the
necessary warrants.
The claims signed so far are payable to
parties residing in Sacramento, Oakland,
Bakersfield, Port Costa, Dunsmuir, Boca,
Fresno and few in Los Angeles. In all
they amount to the sum of $3s, 1000 and in
the majority they consist of board bills
contracted at the various restaurants and
hotels because the different companies had
failed to provide themselves with the
necessary equipments and utensils for
active field service. 1t was the knowledge
possessed by Governor Budd of the mag
n1tude of these hotel bills that probably
caused him to so strenuously insist that
in the future the different companies must
expend their monthly allowance within
thirty days after their warrants had been
cashed.

EUGENE, Or, April 1.-THE body of
a man was found in the river here to-day,

December. He was i'll, and told doctors
who treated him at that time that his
father was in the lumber business in some
city in the East, but his name cannot be
recalled by the doctors. He was penniless
and threatened suicide on account of his
intense suffering.

good circumstances.

silver has conquered in Missouri, as it
did in Illinois, and the fears expressed
that there would be strife and turmoil
in the convention were not borne vut

HARVEY AND HoRR SUM UP.
Final Round In the Great Silver Debate
IT Chicago.

Final Round In the Great silver Debate
1t Chicago.
CHICAGO, Aug. S.-The principals in
the Horr- Harvey debate have made
their final summing up. The full text
OF Their arguments make about 6,OOO
words and each man claims to have
downed the other. Mr.. Horr says:
The object Of this debate was to de-
termine if it would be wise for our
nation to throw open Its minis to the
free coinage of silver at the ratio OF 10
to when the civilized nations OF the
world refuse to join in such action.
MY opponent proposed to prove that
such course is advisable, and under
took to do it on the lines laid down In
Coins Financial School" l denied
the teachings Of that book from Its
title page to its close. Mr.. Harvey
based his whole argument on the prop
osition that the silver dollar was in l792
made the only unit or measure OF val
ne. He also claimed that the demOne-
tization of silver in 1873 was crime
and was accomplished through fraud
and bribery. He introduced no evil
dence in support of either proposition
and stands convicted by his own state
ments of an effort to deceive the peo-
pie.
Harvey Makes His Claims.
In summing up his side Mr.. Harvey
said: The debate settles, in my judg-
ment, the following propositions:
1. That gold and silver is the money
of the constitution. Mr.. Horn did not
controvert this, and I left it with
Daniel Webster's statement to that
effect.
2. That the silver dollar was the
unit of value in our coinage system,
fixed by the act of 1892. Mr.. Horn adj
mits this.
3. That silver and gold both were
the measures of value of all other prop
ertv until 1873, and the debtor had a
right to pay in either metal.
4. That the act of 1873 was surrep-
titiously passed.
5. That for all time of which we
have knowledge gold and silver were
treated equally as money.
&. That prices of all property are
now measured in gold alone and are
substantially at the present time one
half what they would be under the hi.
metallic system.

fully digest the debate will conclude
that have made good all the PROPOSE
tons set forth in my opening state.

DISCOVERED A LOST ART.

Pittsburg Ironworkers Successfully Weld
Copper tn Iron and Steel.
PITTsBURo, Aug. l2.-George Crom-
ley, Cornelius Shay and John Ryan,
ironworkers, have discovered the lost
art of welding copper to iron or steel.
They show several samples of the met.
ais perfectly welded. The last record
history gives of these metals having
been welded was in Scandinavia, 500
B. G. The value of the discovery
comes in the fact that copper offers
greater resistance to the action of salt
water than any other metal.
