Dubois, Bergen-and | SILVER AND GOLD, Equalization of the Two Metals Dis- cussed in the Senate, THE SUNDRY CIVIL BILL. It is Reported in the Senate and Goes Over Till Tomorrow. BUT LITTLE DOING IN THE HOUSE. —_——__—_ SENATE. The presiding officer (Mr. Ingalls) announced his signature to the bill for the admission of Wyoming as a state. The bill now goes to the President for his signature, On motion of Mr. Blair the Senate proceeded to executive business, The doors were reopened at 1 o'clock and on motion of Mr. Teiler Senaté bill to au- thorize the Secretary of the Interior to convey to the Rio Grande Junction Railway Company certain landd in the state of Colorado (26 acres) in lieu for certain other lands in said state conveyed by the said com- pany to the United States was taken from the calendar and passed. The sundry civil appropriation bill was re- ported and Mr. Allison stated that he would ask for its consideration tomorrow. THE SILVER BILL DEBATE RESUMED. The consideration of the conference report on the silver bill was resumed and Mr. Cockrell continued his argument against the report. le criticised the last clause of the second section of the conference bill and said that the language therein used indicated a preference fora single gold standard. ‘The Secretary of the Treasury would so interpret it until parity between the metals was established, gold would be given the preference, and the legal tender notes would be redeemed in gold, That was the most dangerous power ever vested by law in a Secretary of the Treasury. : THE SECRETARY'S DISCBETION. Mr. Teller—Does not the Senator recognize the fact that under that section the Secretary of the Treasury can pay for the treasury notes in silver if he chooses? Mr. Cockrell—Unquestionably, Mr. Teller—Then it is simply a question of — Secretary will exercise that discre- tion Mr. Cockrell--No question about that. Mr. Teller.—Does not the Senate suppose that the Secretary will pay in the coin which the ee of the Treasury notes may desire, if he can’ Mr. Cockrell,—Certainly. Mr. Teller.—Is not that proper? Mr. Cockrell. —I think not—not at all. Mr. Teller—That is the way that France has Maintained her parity between metals. When the holder of paper money wants coin for it he can have either gold or silver as he desiree, When he goes with gold an have silver for it. and when he goes with silver he have gi for it| That is what the Secretary of e Treasury will do under this bill, He will jive to the holder of treasury notes gold (as ug ae he has got it) or miver, just as bolder desires, Mr. Cockrell—France is in a different situa- from the United States. I kuow what the isin France. It is not applicable here Mr. Jones (Ark.)—With the consent of Mr. Cockrell—r an extract from an article in yesterday's New York Evening Post (a paper @ppoved, he said, to uilver legislation in all “its forms) to the effect that the conference report contained some features not embraced in either the House bill or the 8en- ate bill and tending to make it a better mens- ure than either; also tating that the purpose of THE SILVER MEN HAD BEEN ‘‘FOILED.” Mr. Cockrell—Precisely what I have said. That article is from a very able representative of the gold interest; and it is a warning to the Senator from Nevada (Mr. Jones) that he has abandoned the cause of the equalization of silver with gold. This conference report ix in- tended as a bold declaration that the country is still on the single gold standard and that in the redemption of these notes gold must be used. The Secretary of the Treasury can drive the country to part with every dollar of gold and can lock up in the vaults of the ‘Treasury every silver dollar, That is the most dangerous power ever given to a Secretary of the Treasury since the foundation of the government. » Mr. Platt—Does the Senator mean to say that he would not give to the Secretary of the ‘Treasury q discretion as to which coiu he would y in? Mr. Cockrell—I certainly would give him = discretion. I would say “redeemable in coin,” Mr. Platt—That is all that there is to th Mr. Cockrell—That is true; but there is it a declaration which is the fatal thing, «i that is that the gold standard still exists and Must be maintained. Mr. Jones (Nev,)—Are you advocating a cbange in the form of the bill or a change in the office of the Secretary of the Treasury? Do you desire a change in that department? Mr, Cockrell—Not at ali. My contention is not that. My contention is against the Idnguage of the conference bill and against the dangerous power which it vests iff any Becre- tary of the Treasury, Mr. Cockrell went on with his argument, and, taking up the third section of the con ference bill, he entered his ‘most earnest and solemn protest against it,” as meaning a = — cessation of silver coinage after July, 1691, Mr. Jones (Nev.)—That is all we want, NOMINATIONS TODAY, Army, Navy and Marine Hospital Pro- motions, Etec, + The President today sent the following nom- inations to the Senate: Treasury — Assistant Surgeon George H.

If the energy that has come down to earth in the sun’s rays in the last thirty-six hours could only be bottled up for future use it would suf- fice to run many ‘and many an engine and might be used to turn nice big air fans to keep the multitude from suffering. But it all went off in heat, There was enongh of that, how- ever, to'answer all demands and to give a few people something to talk about, The weather, an always fruitful topic of conversation, has been discussed from every point of view the-last few days until those who never would have found it out for themselves finally came to the conclusion that it mast be hot, But it has been cooler today, and the breezes, those welcome breezes, make life much more worth living. The thermometers, too, were not = to such a strain as they were yesterday, and t was Just as well, for euch work as they bad to do yesterday was enough to wear out even an able-bodied thermometer if kept up for any length of time. THE SIGNAL OFFICE HOPEFUL. When @ Stan reporter called at the signal service office this morning everything there seemed to havea more hopeful appearance. | People moved around a little more briskly and there was life in the atmosphere. It was very evident that the gentlemen in charge of the weather were sorry they had been doing as they have and meant to make a change for the better. A little inquiry soon showed that such was the case, though it is doubtful if the refor- mation is a permanent one. “You may have noticed, perhaps,” said Capt. Allen to the reporter, “that it is still warm. Well, it is, though not as warm as it has been. But it’s GOING TO GET COOLER. “The rain we were all hoping for has failed to put in an appearance as yet, though it may turn up still. It got as far east as the moun- tains, and Pittsburg and the vicinity caught a little of it, The cold wave, whose coming was announced yesterday, will probably get here tonight or tomorrow morning and I shall be very much ay imino if the temperature oes not drop ten degrees. The main strength of the wave will go off to the north of New York and there it will drop twenty degrees, Up there they are backed up by an area of low temperature, while the area to the south of usis still way up. Still, we will catch something and tomorrow will be a clear and comfortable day. There wili be brisk breezes, probably, all day, and tonight especially, coming in from the west, and there is not much chance of an- other night such as last mght was. It will be comparatively cool, Up in the northwest ANOTHER WARM WAVE is pulling itself together and will follow right along in the wake of the coolone. We musta’t expect winter weather in July, you know. “In this city the average morning tempera- ture in July is 75 degrees, the average dew — 67 and the amount of moisture in a cubic (vot of air 7.3 grains with a relative humidity of.78. This worning the temperature was 84, the dew point 68. There were 7.17 grains of water iu the sir with a relative humidity of .69, so you see the humidity that bothers #o many people and makes life so un- bearable was levs than usual Tonight the relative humidity will probably be consider- ably less and existence will be all the more pleasant on that account.” TWO DEATHS YESTERDAY, The intense heat yesterday caused great suf- fering among workingmen, particularly those employed out of doors, and many of them had to quit work and go home to prevent their possible removal to a hospital or the mor,ue Quastretcher. The bricklayers and tinners probably had the worst of the weather, as they work m the opeu suushine without any sort of protéction whatever, and often cut off from the aileviating breezes. During the day many of the workers sought shady places at intervals and bathed their heads in water and in that way succeeded in getting through the day sately, There were others who were not so fortunate and two of the victims died. They were Louisa Douglass and Mary Dorsey. The former was cutting wood in her yard in Willow Tree alley when she dropped dead from heart disease, the fatal attack being brought on by the heat, The other womau resided near 26th and I wireets and she died soon after bemg taken sick, HAD TO QUIT WORK, The heat was severe on the bricklayers on the new library building, and nearly a dozen of them had to quit work. The employes of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing and the Goverument Printing Oftice suffered greatly, at mauaged to get through the day without juitting work, An effort is to be made to have ablic printer close the office at 4 o'clock during the heated term—the hour at which the other government oflices close, PROSTRATED YESTERDAY AFTERNOON. In addition to the victims mentioned in yes- terday's Stan were the following: Dr. Henry J. Crosson of the Washington Asylum Hospital was overcome by the heat nour Pennsylvania avenue and 12th street yes- terday afternoon, He was treated.at the Emer- gency Hospital by Dr. Middleton and soon re- covered sutticiently to resume his journey. A colored man named Henry Morton, who is employes on a saad boat, was prostrated by the heat late yesterday atternoon and fell on the sidewalk near the James Creek canal uncon- scious. He was takeh to his bome on Half street southwest in the police patrol wagon, Barah Butler, © colored servant girl, was overcome by the heat while working at her service place yesterday and had tobe sent bom . Newman attended Patrick Doyle, who was taken ill near Washington Circle yesterday from the effeeis of the heat, and he was after- ward sent to his home in South Washington by the 8. Mason Williams, colored, of South Washing- ton was unable to stand the heat yesterday afternoon and he was sent to his home from 16th and 8 streets in the patrol wagon, Wm.

THE POLICEMEN MAY PULL OFF THEIR VESTS, ‘the policemen are having » hard time of it, although so far as reported none of them have been compelled to go off duty on account of the heat. Today Col.

Taor, N.¥., July ®—An eye witness of the storm at Bluff Point was seen by a Telegram re- Porter atthe Union depot at 1:45 o'clock this morning when the nortbern train arrived. He said only one life was lost, that of a man named Smalley, a guest at the hotel. He wag out fish- ing in the lake when the cyclone struck the — and the terrific wind overturned his oat, He could not reach the shore and lost his life. The geutleman stated that the storm was the most terrific one the vicinity ever experienced, and that trees twice as large as the body of » man were uprooted and twisted into fragm: ata. Many barns were blown down, and in one instance a horse and wagon were blown across id. As far as he knew no one was seriously injured. He estimated the dam- age to the hotel at about $3.000. He said the ‘orm lasted nearly two minutes and came up very suddenly. DETAILS OF THE STORM. Prarresvne, N.Y., July 9.—Plattsburg and the northern parts of this county were visited by a terrific wind and rain storm last evening about 5 o'clock, It was the most severe storm ever known in this section. ‘Trees of enor- mous size were uprooted and telegraph, elec- tric light and telephone wires were rendered useless. Nota telegraph wife of any kind was working last night. The Delaware and Hudson were badly crippled, having no wires. The Chateanquay road was in equally bad shape. The new Champlain Hotel at Bluff Point was damaged to some extent and trees in the park are ruined; a valet named Valley was out on the lake fishing whem the storm struck him, overturning his boat and drowning him. A man named Ryan, living a few miles west of this village, had a leg and arm broken by the blowing down of his barn. A large barn owned by Mr, Fordbam on Cumberland head, end Brown Bros., and other large ice houses in thie section are total wrecks. Camp Idlewild on Grand Isle was badly demolished and the occupants sarroviy escaped.

Bovsr's Pornr, N. ¥., July 9.—About 8:30 p. m. yesterday this place was visited by the worst wind and hail storm ever known, demol- ishing houses and trees and upsetting things in general. A few moments before the storm, which came without warning, the steam yacht Little Nellie of this place, used for towing purposes, left this port with a pile driver ound for the Vermont shore, distant about three miles. When about a mile out she was lost to sight and little hopes were entertained of her reaching a safe port to await the passing of the storm. As soon asthe storm was over search wae made for the missing vessel. Twenty boats left port to look for her. The search was in vain, as she had gone down. Capt. Geo, Clarke, bis son and Engineer Hill were drowned, But one man was saved, and he had a terrible-experience. being in the pilot house when the boat capsized. He also went down with the boat, but when she struck bottom he broke through a window and made his way to the surface of the water, where he bat- fled with the wind, rain and hail for over an hour, being rescued in an exhausted condition. His hands and face were badly cut. For some reason the man re- fused to give his name. ies are searching for the missing bodies, but as yet without «i cess. It is feared there were other casualties, as several fishing parties on the lake have not yet putin an appearance, ——-- WHY THE LETTERS NEVER CAME, London Letter Carriers Inaugurate a Strike This Morning.
