lists and Democrats. II carried oal. An

including representation on the board Of
public works and control of the police de-
partment, are 10 60 TO the PopulistS If the
deal is carried through.
The fusion proposition has been under
consideration among leading Democrats
and Popuhsts for some time past. but mat
ters reached a head last night, when the
Democratic city central committee met and
appointed a committee to which was dele
sated full powers 10 close up 'ae oafgain

Whether fusion is successfully carried
out or not, indications are strong that the
Popuhsts OF this city win be badly split
over the proposition. one wing OF the
party is bitterly opposed to the deal. and
is against Fawcett on any terms. This
faction is strong in the A. +. A. The other
wing is favorable TO fusion. as being the
measure most likely TO cause the defeat
OF the Republicans. and is for Fawcett TO
the bitter end. The leaders of this faction
have been congregating for some weeks
past in Fawcetts store. where the ex-
county commissioner has been industrious
~ dealing out sugar-coated promises OF
political preferment. 1t is said the insidl-
o rs Fawcett has already promised every
thing in sight. including complete control
Of the police and fire departments. If elect

Several well-known Populist leaders were
seen tonight. and while they admit that the
proposition has been considered, they claim
Il will never be carried out. Councilman

meat, who is credited with being an aspir-
ant to the mayoralty. and who stands on
nis record in the council, is known TO &c
materially opposed 10 the deal.

Janet Cowan's Officers Not t,

Port Townsend, Jan. 2L-The decision Of
the board of inquiry convened by British
Consul kloeker to inquire into the loss Of
the English ship Janet cowan on Nancou-
Yer island. December 81, exonerated the
officers Of all responsibility. The testi-
mony showed that the vessel came in by
Cape Flattery on the night Of December 30.
before a southwest gale. being preceded by
two or three other vessels which were in
fall view When abreast Of ClallaTn bay
she put about and endeavored 10 beat 10
sea under lower topsails. The gale and
northerly currents carried the ship, which
was in light ballast and high out OF the
water, toward the Vancouver shore, where
she was wrecked. None OF the witnesses
could swear that Capt. Thompson was In
ebriated on the night OF the disaster. and
the testimony that ne was drunk previously
was ruled out The board decided that the
real cause Of the wreck was the elements.
and not the incompetency OF the officers.

Washington City, Jan. 2f.-About Febru-
airy l the treasury department will resume
the coinage OF silver dollars and continue
until about 1890 90 have been coined.
When the present administration came in
to power there were in the treasury about
SO 000, 600 in silver dollars, coined from bull
lion under the act OF 1890, and available
for the redemption of treasury notes issued
in payment of the bullion purchased.
Since August 1898, about $4,000 GOO Of these
notes have been redeemed in silver dollars
and Cancelled. The secretary Of the treas
ury has now decided to coin from the bull
lion now on hand and purchased under the
act Of 1880 about $4,000 ooo, which VIII re-
store the amount OF dollars in the treasury
10 what II was on March 4, 1898. The aver
axe cost Of the silver bullion purchased un-
der the Sherman 9ct was 7liz cents on the
dollar. which leaves a gain Of seignioraze
OF 2Six cents on the dollar. At this rate the
seigniorage on the SIS 90 90 TO be coined
would be s.. $50 00Q, which VII be accounted
for in the ava ble cash on hand. increas-
ing II by that amount. The order for the
resumption or coinage at the mints at
Philadelphia. New orleans and San Fran
cisco is expected in a day or two.

ALTHOUGH the sound money Democrats
OF Illinois have issued an address to their
party brethren urging the nomination OF
another ticket, it does not seem probable
at this time at least-that the movement
will succeed. The principle objection it
seems came from New York where the
Democratic organization does not favor
another convention. Senator Hill it ap.
pears favors special effort on the part of the
Democrats to elect as many gold Congress
men as possible, and for the throwing of the
Presidential election into the House OF
of Representatives where in his opinion a
more successful contest for gold President
could be made. Many Democrats also op-
pose third ticket, on the ground that a
third ticket might mean the election of the
silver Democratic ticket, by the division OF
the sound money Democratic vote, which
as it stands will be thrown for Mckinley
and Hobart
