She left here at 2 o'clock on her way to Alas
ka, with 4G5 passengers. $50 head of live stock,
and about 1900 tons Of cargo. principally the
outfits of the passengers.
Within an hour she passed out over the per.
fectly smooth bar and started north with nearly
all the passengers on deck.
About this time the officers saw smoke COM
ing up from the engine room, and were told that
some smoldering ashes had just been brought
from the fire room.
The smoke continuing an investigation was
ordered. Tho smoke was found to be coming
from tho starboard coal bunkers.
Cap. Stevens was Immediately notified, and
he ordered every member Of the crew on duty
with strict instructions not to permit any of the
passengers to know Of the fire.
The pumps were manned without confusion,
while the passengers were led to believe that
the usual washing down decks was taking
place.
The course OF the steamship was changed back
toward Astoria. and the tug Escort, nearby
was signalled to keep close alongside.
The starboard bunkers were then opened and
every stream of water available was turned
into them.
From the open bunkers heavy clouds of smoke
came. filling the vessel for a few minutes, but
before the passengers could realize what was
happening the bunker was flooded and the fire
was eXtinguished.
The steamer was brought back to her dock
and will leave again in the morning.

Car-Many such Crimes In Washington.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 14.-Representative Ding
ley's secretary reported at Police Head
quarters to-day that Miss Dingley, the Con-
gressman's daughter, was robbed of her pocket
book, containing money and jewelry; on Satur-
day evening when leaving a street car at the
corner of Fifteenth and H streets. This is one
Of the most prominent corners in Washington
and the street was filled with people at the
time. The policeman on the beat was notified
shortly after the occurrence, but 1t was learned
to-day that no report was made by him to his
station, and 1t was not until Mr.. Dingley's Sec.
rotary called at headquarters that the police
were fully appraised Of the robbery.
There has boon an epidemic OF such crimes In
Washington this winter and in almost every
case the robber escaped. Every evening there
is at least ono case of pocketbook snatching
and sometimes two or three cases. The parks
and public reservations are infested with high
waymen and many robberies have recently &C.
Cured in these places. The police seem to be
powerless to clear out the gang, some time
ago a colore6 man snatched a pocketbook con-
tanning q woman's whole fortune in lens, TAX
ing the purse in broad daylight and when the
woman was accompanied BY her mother and
son. The thief was never caught. One wo-
man was robbed on the steps, of her own home
showed resistance. The detective force was
reorganized some time ago and the only men
who displayed any ability In catching this class
of thieves were retired to street duty Recently
there has been an epidamic Of bnrglaries. and
although one Of the thieves was seen In, IN a store
full of people and a platoon of police drawn
about the store, he eluded arrest.

aenate By q Veto Of ~ 90 N.

ALBANY, N. Y, Feb. 16.-The weekes rosolu.
ton. consuming Senator Murphy for his vote In
favor Of tho Teller silver resolution, which
passed the Assembly last week. was adopted by
the Senate at 1880 this morning, after a debate
of nearly i've hours.
The Democrats abandoned their tactics Of at
tempting to ridicule tho resolution and were
forced into q direct discussion OF tho
Teller resolution. They sought to defend
Senator Murphy on the ground that the Tel
Ter resolution did not contemplate the free
coinage of silver. This hypothesis was pretty
thoroughly exploded by Senator Ford in q care
full argument, In which he quoted from the
Senate debates at Washington to show that
tho advocates of the Teller resolution were
forced to admit that 1t was u declara-
ton in favor OF free silver and was
understood to DO so by senator Muir
ply and the others who voted for It. Sena-
tor Cantor, who is a gold Democrat. adhered to
his ground that the Legislature would be going
out Of it's way in consuming Senator Murphy.
The first vote came shortly after l o'clock on
Senator Grady's motion to strike out one Of tho
sections. This was beaten, IS to Is. and his
other amendments were lost by the same vote.
In each case the vote was strictly on party lines.
The final vote on the adoption of the resolution
was % to IS.
1t does not cali for Senator Murphy's resigna-
tion. as 1t did when introduced. that feature
having been stricken out subsequently by Mr..
Weekea.
