pared by Congressman shafroth. OBJ
iections TO the passage Of the bill, di-
recting the secretary Of the treasury

yer dollars, are; First Because it
will impose increased burdens upon
the gold reserve. Second. Because
IL will create a new endless chain up
on the government reserve Of the
=, asury. Third. Because it facili-
tates the expectation of gold. Four.
Because It will destroy silver dollars
and silver cretiflactes as money. Five.
Because it will depress the prices Of
all commodities and property, Six.
because 1t Is impossible for silver
dollars to go to a discount as long as
they are limited in number. as now
provided by law-hence there is no
necessity for this legislation.

SUNDAYS HEAVY
Wlnds-Eleven Barges in all floated
Away and We're Sunk-All
kle Found

The loss from Sundays heavy winds
at Brooklyn and Joppa, Ill, was. heav.
ier than at first surmised.
The Aver, Lord Tie company, Of
Chicago, were the heaviest losers.
They had eight barges with $4,000
ties at Brooklyn. Three were sunk
and four broke loose and were swamp
ed, one opposite Brooklyn, one at
Belgrau, one near Metropolis and
another below Brooklyn.
The barges are badly damaged, and
in addition about 5000 ties will
be lost, having foated down the river.
The J. II. Wilson, or "Whitspot"
company, lost two barges with 1900
ties. one Of the barges broke in two
and the loss on it will be several hun
dred dollars.
The Naugle- Holcomb company, o
which Capt J. 5. Beatty is agent, had
one barge sunk at Joppa, but the loss
will be comparatively slight, as only
two or three hundred Of the ties got
away. The -. b. A." has been at
werk near Brooklyn with tho wrecks
since yesterday morning and the Ten

Capt. Baker, agent for the Ayre,

nothing about the havoc wrought by
