ANXIETY IN NEW YORK.

New York, Feb. 16.-Much anxiety is
manifested among owners of small
coast sailing vessels as to the safety of
about twenty-five ships which are sup
posed to have been lost in the bliz-
zard of one week ago. Every day the
officers of the agents are beseiged by
relatives anxious to know what has
become Of their loved ones, who ship
ped a month ago.
Since the severe storm there has not
been one coastwise sailing vessel re-
ported from any southern port, and
vessels bound from New York for the
south and New England are also so
long overdue that they are supposed
to have foundered. The ships crews
average about ten men each, and the
total value of cargoes is about a quar-
ter Of a million dollars.

Pittsburg, Kan, Feb. 16.-The regu-
lar Santa Fe passenger train from
Kansas City was wrecked just outside

signals, failed to see the approaching
Santa Fe passenger. The coal train
struck the tender Of the Santa Fe train,
throwing the entire passenger train,
except the engine, to the bottom of a
fifteen-foot embankment. Every per-
son OIL the Santa Fe train was more OF
less injured and the wonder is that mo-

If convicted criminals We're COM
PEELED to work on the roads they
would make some return for the ex-
pense which they occasion, their labor
would not be placed in competition
with that of honest men, and there
would be less danger of jobbery in
connection with the penitentiary. The
possibility that the tender feelings OF
prisoners might be wounded II COM
PEELED to work on the public highways
should have no weight against the
many points in favor OF such a plan.

HOP INTELLIGENCE.-S ev re
snow storms in the interior of this
state caused partial suspension Of
business in many sections. Buyers
were lot anxious enough to go in
search of stock and growers made no
effort to find buyers. The few trans
actions reported were on about the
basis of late prices, but the dealings
were more in the grades below choice,
say from Sc downward. AS regards
the local market there is no change
Of Importance to note. Quite a good
deal of stock was delivered to brew
ers on January contracts, ETC., but
new business has been comparatively
small. 1t is thought that many OF the
large brewers still have good many,
hops coming to them on contract, and
for this reason they are less inclined
to buy beyond what the real needs of
their trade demand. The strength of
the position is still in the foreign out
let, and if London stands up under the
recent heavy shipments it would seem
as though the future Of the market
was assured. Shippers have not
shown quite the desire for stock this
week as last, but it is not difficult to
interest them when fine goods are
shown. We call prices steady ON
choice quality, but little weak and
irregular on other grades.-N. Y.

agreement will be reported to the SEN
ate tomorrow and it is expected that
q motion will emanate from the dem
ocrats instructing the conference to
abandon the cable item. A proposition
will doubtless come from the republi-
cans that they be instructed to accept
the amendment. Argument is being
advanced by the democrats and will
be made in debate that it is entirely
unnecessary for the government ito
give it's funds to the cable enterprise
when capitalists stand ready to do
the work.

THEY WON A VICTORY
Silver Men in the Ma
tiOnal Senate.
Jubilant Over Recogni-
tiOn of Their Bill.
It Is Now before that Body and
Jones Will Try and Keep
It There.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-The silver
men won a victory in the senate today.
After the agricultural appropriation
bill passed there was an effort to get
recognition from every side from the
chair. 1t was clearly a fight between
the silver bill appropriation bills and
the pooling bills. Jones, of Arkansas,
who was in charge of the silver bill,
succeeded in getting the first recog-
milton and moved to take up the silver
bill. The effect Of this, if adopted,
was to displace the bankruptcy bill
and all other measures and bring the
silver bill to the front for a struggle
and vote. Hale moved to adjourn. The
motion to adjourn was defeated by
II to SO.
This was signal victory for the
silver men. German then made a
move to get the Indian appropriation
bills ahead of the silver bill. The mo-
tion was defeated, ayes 26, nays 30,
and the silver men were again victor
ious. Ayes and nays were then taken
ON direct question of taking up the
silver bill according to Jones' motion,
and the silver men gained their point,
yeas 80, nays 27. The vote was as fol-
lows: &c.,.

HILL TO THE RESCUE
THE GREAT NEW YORKER DE-
FENDS HIS ERSTWHILE RIVAL.
Spirited Debate in the Senate Over
the Financial Muddle-Cleveland
ROundly Scored in Hot Terms.

WASHINGTON, Feb, 16.-A storm
of financial debate swept over the sem
ate today exceeding in intensity any
discussion in the upper branch Of
congress for many days. 1t was
brought about by Hills advocacy Of
his resolution defining the policy Of the
government for bi-metallism and for
paying its obligations in the best mon
ey in use. The New York senator
spoke with his usual vigor and was
closely followed in his plea for sustain
ing the national credit by a declara-
tion Of the policy to the world. But
Hills speech was merely warning
note of the storm. He was followed
by Wolcott of Colorado, Lodge Of
Massachusetts,, and later by. Teller Of
Colorado, in the most scathing denun-
citation and arraignment of the admin
istration for it's recent bond contract
with Rothschilds and other foreign
bankers.
WOlcott made a direct and personal
criticism Of the president; Lodge was
more temperate, but quite as severe in
his personal arraignment of the presi-
dent, declaring the recent bond con-
tract was the blackest act in history
of American finance.
Teller added to the flood of criticism
on the recent acts of the administra-
ton. Hill replied briefly and with
spirit. He declared that a futile ef-
fort was being made to arraign the
presidents administration for Its ap-
peal to the Rothschilds, while as a mat
ter Of fact former republican admins
trations had sold bonds to these same
foreign bankers. Hill declared the
president and secretary of the treasury
had secured the best terms possible.
The senator closed by reading an
Associated Press cable from Berlin,
announcing the purpose Of Germany
to convene another international none
tary conference.
