SILVER MEN CONFERRED
Financs Committee Will Report a
Free Silver Measure.
Separate Conferences of Republicans
and Democrats Followed TOday's
Meeting of the COMMITTEES.

The Senate Committee on Finance met
this morning at 1880 O'Clock, to con-
slider the bond and tariff bills that came
from the House last week.
Mr.. Morrill,, Rep, Vermont, presided as
chairman of the committee, but there was
not full ATTENDANCE present. The ali.
sentees were Mr.. Wulcott, Of Colorado;
Mr.. Jones, OF Nevada. and Mr.. White, OF
California. Mr.. Sherman did not rea Oh
the committee room until quite late, he
having been detained at home in the prcpa-
ration of the speech which he will deliver
In the Senate tomorrow.
The committee at 1890 adjourned until
tomorrow at 3 O'Clock. No vote was AIKEN
ON any proposition, The bond bill was the
only one under consideration. The COM
mittec hope to be able to settle this matter
tomorrow.
At the conclusion of the meeting the Re-
publican members of the committee re-
manned in session 10 consider the subject
that had been under discussion, while
the Democrats, accompanied by Mr.. Jones
OF Nevada. held a similar conference III the
rooms of Mr.. Harris. This latter meeting
was intended to be a conference of the
silver men. 1t was apparent, in full
committee, that no conclusion could be
reached that did not contemplate the free
coinage OF silver, and the silver men sug-
gested that Mr.. Jones of Arkansas be des-
ignatcd as a subcommittee TO prepare u
bill that should lie submitted to the full
committee tomorrow.
Mr.. Jones this afternoon made the state
ment on behalf of the silver men that the
bill to be reported from the committee
would provide for the free coinage of silver,
and that no issue of bonds would he per-
united. He was not SO positive about the
issue of certificates OF Indebtedness. au-
thorized by the House bill to meet the def
ciencies, but was rather disposed to be-
lieve that the committee would report adj
vcrsely thereon.

MURPHY's COMMISSION.
Mrs. Co1ton's Version OF the Affair
Told in Deposition Read
Yesterday


The trial of the suit of the First National
Bank against Mrs. Ellen Cotton for COM
missions for the sale of her house on Cali
fornia and Taylor streets developed some
interesting testimony yesterday.
Dispositions of Mrs. Cotton and Joseph
A. Baker were read, and in each of them
the statement was made that Murphy
told Mrs Cotton that the selling of her
house would cost her nothing.
Mrs. Cotton, in her deposition, went on
to say that Murphy had taken from her
deposits in the bank money enough to
pay for the commissions which he de-
manded. She had row with him in the
office of the bank over the affair and
threatened to bring the matter before the
directors unless he repaid the money.
She said that he himself had told her th at
the bank could not transfer money from
depositors' accounts to its own treasury
unless q check was duly given for the
money. Mrs. Cotton said further that A.
N. TOwne was the first one she treated
with in regard to the sale of the house,
and that Aterward, when Murphy came to
see her, he told her that he would not
charge her anything for the trouble he
took as she was a good customer of the
bank.

MUNYON'S
Cold and Cough Cures
Promptly Effectua1 in Curing Grip,
Colds and Cough and Sure Pre-
ventive of Pneumonia and All Lung
Diseases,

Colds lead to coughs, coughs to Pneu-
monia and Consumption; therefore, 1T is
all important to check a cold before it
reaches the lungs. Munyon's Cold Cure
will positively break cold inside of
twenty-four hours if taken as soon as the
cold manifests itself. When the cold
reaches the lungs or bronchial tubes the
Cough Cure should be used alternately
every half hour with the Cold Cure. The
Cold Cure is guaranteed to prevent pneu-
monia if used in the beginning of a cold.
Pneumonia, or Inflammation of the lungs,
can be controlled by the use of these two
cures.
The Cough Cure positively cures bron-
chitis, tickling in the throat, hoarseness,
loss of voice, soreness Of the chest, diff
Guilty in breathing, hacking cough and all
pulmonary diseases where the lungs are
not too far consumed or covered with
tubercles.
If you are ailing step into the nearest
drugstore and get 25c vial of one of Mum
yon's Remedies. No matter what your
disease or how many doctors have failed
to cure. it will give you relief.

Fate of the Sheriff and Recorder
Is Trembling in the
Balance.
HOW THE LAW IS BROKEN.
The Grand jury Is Now Obtaining
Possession of Important
Infor ormation.

When Frank Maskey, the foreman OF
the Grand Jury. engaged the expert
services of Horace d. Dunn, the latter
signed writ zen agreement that he would
not impart to any other person than a
member of the jury the facts dis closed by
the investigations. The expert was also
placed under oath to maintain secrecy.
The Sheriff and Recorder were not taken
by surprise when an expert appeare d
among them taking notes. 1t was soon su r
missed, and presently ascertained as a fact :.
that Mr.. Dunn was working for the Grand
Jury and giving especial attention to fees
charged and collected, but not until yes
terday did Sheriff Whelan and Recorder
Glynn comprehend that mere than the
ordinary routine visit of the Grand Jury
representative was contemplated They
learned from THE CALL yesterday that it
is the purpose of the Grand Jury to in
quire why two officers of the City and
County have taken the responsibility upon

Panama road in interoceanic traffic.
This gentleman doubted, however,
whether San Francisco people could be
sufficiently interested to invest the neces-
sary capital, which he estimated would
not be less than $4,000. .000 and most of
which would have to be expended for har
Dor facilities at the termini of the road.
On this point an interview was had with
prominent civil engineer, who has been
over the ground. and who made a thorough
investigation of this phase OF the matter.
This gentleman stated that a II the work of
making suitable harbor approaches would
not cost more than 100000. On the
Coatzacoalcos side it will be necessary to
jetty the mouth of the CoatZacoalcoS River
so as to scour its bed, and make it ac-
cesible to vessels of deep draught. 1t is
estimated that this can be done at cost
of 81 900 900, so as to give depth of not
less than twenty-five feet for sixteen miles
up the river from its mouth.
There are two ways, this gentleman
stated, in which the requisite accommo-
dations for shipping can be secured
construct a break-water so rs to pro-
tect the roadstead of that port from
the trade winds, and the other is to dredge
lakes Superior and Inferior, about one
mile east of Salina Cruz. and then cut
massage from one of them to the ocean.
This would give land-locked harbor that
would be equal to anything on the con-
tinent. The cost of the breakwater would
be about 81, 600, 900, but what the cost OF
the second project would be the gentle
man was not prepared to state.
1t is further claimed by those interested
in the scheme, that the operation of
steamers in connection with the Tehuan-
tepec Railroad will not only providea COM
petitive route between New York and San
Francisco. but will enable San Francisco
merchants to enter the heart of Mexico by
rapid and cheap transportation, and would
also enable cheaper rates to be made TO all
parts OF the United States from San Fran
cisco by operating line of steamers from
Coatzacoalcas to New Orleans and up the
Mississippi to the head of navigation.

themselves to decide upon the constitu-
tionality of the fee bill which was passed
by the last Legislature.
This law, approved March %, 1895, is
entitled AN act to establish the fees of
county, township and other officers and
of Jurors and witnesses in this State.h It
is the law of the land until the Supreme
Court decides to the contrary. The Grand
Jury understands it to be the law. County
Clerk Curry, to whose Office it applies,
recognizes it as the law.
Among the visitors at the City Hall
Yesterday were Frank G. Jordan, Clerk of
Alameda County; Thomas S. Bonneau,
day, Clerk of Solano County. They fol-
low the new law in their respective coun-
ties and find that it works admirably.
They consulted yesterday and exchan ged
views as to the Interpretation of ONE pro-
visions not clearly understood.
The Grand Jury regards the attitude of
the sheriff and Recorder or San Francisco
that the law is not respected because pri-
vate attorneys tell them that the protec-
tion of official bondsmen require the old
repealed law to be observed and the new
law ignored.
The Grand Jury proposes to ascertain
how the bondsmen figure in the case, and
in what way their personal interests con-
u
by the people for the guidance of public
servants. Incidentally this will lead to q
Grand Jury discussion as to whether pub
lie offices are created and maintained for
the people or for the men who figure as
sureties on the official bonds of the office
holders.
The opportunity for the Sheriff to make
money in his office is not so readily af-
forded by the fee bill of 1895 as it was under
the law which the last Legislature re-
pealed. The act approved March %, 1895,
under the subdivision pertaining to the
Sheriff's charges, contains this paragraph:
''For keeping and caring for property
under attachment or execution such sum
as the court may fix; provided, that no
greater sum than 50 per day shall be
allowed to keeper when necessarily
employed"
The old law, which the Legislature re-
pealed because it permitted exorbirant
charges. allowed So day for keepers.
1t is said that the Sheriff could place
eight or ten attachments under the care
of one keeper and collect So for each
attachment. The money is not collected
and paid into the treasury and then paid
out to keepers ON warrants passed by the
Board of Supervisors and approved by the
Auditor. The transactions consist of
money collected by the Sheriff and paid to
the keeper directly.

If faithfully built ship ever earned
premium it will be the Oregon. The very
best material has been put into her, and
the best engineers and machinists in the
United States have superintended her con-
struction. AS she appears to-day she is
the personification of power, not hand
some in outline, but beautiful in her
strength. AS fighter the Oregon shows
her power in every line and curve. and
her frowning cannon give warning before
they begin to bark.
Judging by her batteries, she is one of
the most powerful ships afioat. In her
main batteries she has four 6-inch guns
and eight 8-inch. The latter are trained
fore and aft, while the 6-inch guns are
amidship. Then there are four 13-inch
guns in the towers, and these can be used
on all occasions.
In her secondary batteries the Oregon
has sixteen 6-pounders, four 1-pounders
and four machine guns.
For small arms she will have 800 rifles
and ITO revolvers. In her other defenses
she will have seven torpedo tubes and ten
automobile torpedoes. Nearly all of the
armament is now on board, ana the
chances are that the preliminary trial will
be held next week.
The Massachusetts,, Indiana and Oregon
are alike in every respect, but the Union
Iron Works. the builders of the latter, ex-
pect 10 beat the record of the others. Par
ticular attention should be paid to these
vessels, as in the case of war they would
be the main reliance of the United States
both for offensive and defensive purposes.
The good qualities of the Oregon are ap-
parent to even the superficial observer.
She is superior to anything afoat or de-
signed III the world, and the only adverse
criticism that can be made is in regard to
the coal supply at normal draught. "But,"
said a naval officer yesterday, ''in order to
obtain the two vital qualities of heavy
armament and admirable protection some
thing had to be sacrificed, and that some
thing was coal. But it must be at once re-
lem bered that the Oregon is coast-line
battle-ship. She is not liable to make long
voyages at sea and will therefore not be
apt to stray far from the home coaling sta
tions. Nevertheless, on pinch she can
carry 1900 tons OF COAL
There is nothing foreign about the Ore
