allows only $50 for Mckinley. The difference be-
these rival estimates Is that Grosvenor gives
the name of every man he claims, while Manley 5
figures only deal with States. II the atter's are
more accurate as a whole than they are for New
Jersey. they are yalueless: He credits Mckinley
with only two votes from this State. Now Messrs.

who are Enthusiastically for Mckinley, would alone
furnish Mr. Manley's New-Jersey contingent for the
Ohio man. and II 10 certain that nearly our entire

detached from him under any circumstances which

LIVELY IN The SENATE.
The Silver Question Is Dis
cussed at Some
Length.
Hill Says the Senate Has No Right to
Attack the Secretary's
Integrity.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May THE
resolution for investigation into the bond
sales of 1S94-95-96 was taken up in the
Senate to-day, and Palmer Cd. of Illinois
addressed the members. He felt that the
animus of the resolution was to affect the
public mind with reference to the silver
question. He did not suppose that any
Senator, except perhaps the Senator from
South Dakota (Pettigrew), questioned the
integrity of the Secretary of the Treasury.
He (Palmer) had opposed the resolution
because he beIieved that its purpose was
to procure material to affect unfavorably
the public mind on the silver question.
Much of Palmer's argument was ad-
dressed to the question how much the
commercial value of the silver dollar
would be affected under free and unlimited
coinage. The answer given by Cockrell
(D.) of Missouri was that the comm ercial
value Of the gold dollar and of the silver
dollar would be equal; that the silver dol
lar would appreciate some and the gold
dollar depreciate some."
Vest asked Palmer what he meant by
an allusion in his speech to ''snap "con-
ventions" and was informed that it re-
ferred to conventions last year in Missouri
and Illinois. t
Hill CD of New York suggested good
humoredly that on the question of snap
conventions he might be allowed to speak
upon it as an expert. [Laughter.] In
order to avoid any snap convention in the
State of New York this year, the Democ-
racy of that State proposed to have the
latest convention of all the States. Rill
then went on to discuss the bond resolu-
ton, and he questioned Pettigrew as to
the authenticity of telegram which that
Sena tor had read in his speech last Tues
day, remarking that the Treasury Depart
ment knew nothing about it. Petit grew s
response was that was one of the questi ons
to be Investigated.
Hill contended that Carlisle should be
treated as courteously as Sherman and
Boutwell,, while Secretaries of the Treas
ury, had been treated in like circumstances.
Addressing the Senators of his own
party, Hill said: democrats, be not de-
ce ived. This is q useless and unnecessary
pro oceeding; it is an attack on your Secre-
tary of the Treasury; it is putting him to
ANNOYANCE and trouble. You are playing
! into the hands of your opponents-Repub-
licans and Populists. do not thinkIit is
wise proceeding; do not think it is a
polite proceeding. 1t is now in the hands
of the Senate. and shall vote against it i
I am the only man to do so."

FIRE At LONG BEACH,
Bucket Brigades Save the Town
From Destruction by Hard
Fighting.
Two Large Business Houses Burned
Before the Flames Are Got
Under Control.

Los ANGELES, CAL, May The
beautiful suburban town of Long Beach
narrowly escaped destruction by fire this
afternoon. Pine street, the principal busi !.
ness thoroua hfare of the town, was the
scene OF widest excitement, the whole
population Joining in a tumult in its
frantic effort to stay the progress of the
flames
by the explosion of an oil stove in the
second story of the Lowe building on Pine
street, containing the postofice, q fire was
started. This was two-and-a- halt-story
structure, made memorable as the scene of
the killing OF ElIikan, in Novem Der, 1894.
inns BUILDING was occupied by the grocery
nrm OF Amesbery & Harmonson. a stronG
WIND was blowing and great masses Of
sparks and burning wood were hurled
ings beyond.
1t was soon apparent to the people that
IL was impossible to save the building. and
tnat the Wiltshire block, q two-story struc-
ture adjoining, was also doom ed.
Ine citizens then organized bucket COM
panles and stationed themselves along the
street north OF the Lowe building and en-
oeavored 10 prevent the communication of
the hre by the sparks by throwing flour
ana salt on nearby roofs and wetting the
mixture down.
At the most critical period assistance
nom this city was asked for and special
sraln was sent down, carrying fire engine
NO and three hose carts from the east
SIDE. Before this fire extinguisher reached
the town the conflagration was well under
control. The Wiltshire is occupied by q
drugstore on the first floor and the second
story is occupied by DR.. Covert. The
drugstore is owned by ]. L. Baton. This
block was totally destroyed. 1t was val
ued at $2500. The Lowe block was also
| $3.50. A sudden change of the wind en-
abled the people to save the Lowe resi-
dence from total destruction and that
building is only damaged to the extent of
$1,000.
