Washington, Feb. 14. The major
ity against silver in ihe nou'se today
when the filial vote was taken on con
currence in the senate free-coinage
amendment, was larger than that
yesterday in committee of the whole,
xesterday the motion to concur was
defeated, 190 to 80 majority of 110; to
day it was beaten, 215 to 90, a majority
of 125. The vote today was a record
making vote, and counting the pairs,
only 37 out of 356 members were un
accounted for. 'Perhaps a few absen
tees dorged, but most of them were
unavoidably absent and were unable
to secure pairs.
The silver men, who yesterday pre
dicted a much greater showing
strength today, were again disap
pointed. The "soundmoney" leaders
have-been disposed to concede the silver
forces 100 votes. An analysis of the
vote today shows that 184 republicans
and 31 democrats voted against concur
rence, and 58 democrats, 25 republicans
and 7 populists for concurrence.
THE PACIFIC RAILROADS.
Committee's Draft of a Bill for Beorgan
lzatlon.
Washington, Feb. 14. yinslow
. .fierce, acting lor the reorganiza
tion committee of the Union Pacific
Railway company, today submitted to
the senate committee on Pacific roads
the reorganization committee's draft
of a bill for reorganization. The bill
provides for the appointment by the
president, subject to the approval of
the senate, of a commission of three
members to investigate, determine
and report to the president a fair cash
value of the claim and lien of the
United States. 1 The report of the com
missioners, or a majority, subject to the
approval of the president, is to be con
elusive as to the sum which may be
paid for the claim and lien of the
United States, the secretary of the
treasury upon such payment to execute
an instrument of assignment of the
lien and claim, reserving the sinking
fuud7ATithortt"l8 gitetf o thepur
chasers to organize a new . company
and it is empowered to acquire and
operate the lines and property of the
railway company with such corpora
tive powers as are necessarily involved
reserving the government's preferred
right for . transportation of mails,
troops, munitions of war, etc. Author
rity and direction is siven to the at
torney general, in default of payment
of the amount fixed by the commission,
to foreslose the lien of the government
and upon sale to bid the amount of in
debtedness to the United States. The
United States shall have power to alter,
amend or repeal. ,
ONE BURGLAR KILLED.
Butler's Brave Defense of hi. Employer's
Property.
San Feancisco, Feb. 14. Frank J.
Miller, a butler in the house - of J. L.
Franklin, at 2930 California street,
shot and killed a burglar' this morn
ing and was himself shot and wounded
Dy a burglar. Three burglars were
engaged in an attempt to loot the
house.
John A. Anderson, that dead bur
glar, was left below to keep watch and
the other two went up stairs. Miller,
who sleeps in a small room in the base
ment, heard Anderson moving about
the kitchen, and went after him with a
pistol. . Anderson was also armed, and
the men commenced firing at each
other, each one firing four shots.
The noise of the shooting caused an
officer to rush to the house where he
found Miller unconscious and the bur
glar dead. Anderson was shot through
the temple, and his dead body was
found lying on top of Miller. The
latter was shot through the neck. The
other burglars escaped.
Miller was too "weak this morning to
give any account of the shooting, but
he said there were three burglars con
cerned. . .
Miller andAnderson evidently had
a desperate struggle, as there was a
great deal of blood on the floor. The
other members of the household were
aroused by the ' shooting, but by the
time they reached the lower part of
the house it was all over and ' they
stumbled over the two bodies on the
floor. . ' .
The Medford Incendiary.
Medford, Or., Feb. 14. An unsuc
cessful attempt was made last night
to burn the grain warehouse of A. A.
Davis, situated across the street from
the Southern Pacific depot. The ware
house consists of two buildings con
nected by a small room, - and it was
at this room that the fire was started.
Turpentine was thrown upon the wall
near the ground, but the boards were
so damp that they would not ignite.
The building contained 20,000 bushels
of wheat and a large number of desks
and other furniture for the new school
building. There is no clue to the
identity of the incendiary, but it is
supposed to be the same person who
has set former fires in this city.

A Toothful Flnandea.
New Yoke, Feb. 14. It is said that

government bonds at a price which in
sured his'Srettinsr them, and then sold
his right to receive them for $6000,
just $5,099,98 better than his invest
ment. A return of $6000 on an invest
ment of 2 cents is th'i record breaker.

Cblt'AUO DRUGGISTS' PLAN
Will Fight Manufacturer" of Proprietary
Medicines.
Chicago, Feb. 15. A .local paper
says:
A factory for the making of remedies
similar in nature to the proprietary
medicines now on the market is to be
started by Chicago retail druggists.
A majority of the city pharmacists are
interested, and they hope to drive the
patent medicine makers from the
field.. Hereafter, when a man wants a
dose to "cure that headache," and
asks for the remedy usually taken, his
druggist will tell him that he would
much better take something not only
"just as good" but scientifically better,
because it has been compounded
by 'physicians and druggists of the
highest reputation. The same thing
will be told the man who wants a
blood purifier or a plaster.
Nore than 500 retail druggists of
Chicago have combined to fight, in a
practically way, the cutting of prices
of drugs and medicines by department
storesand to combat, . at the . eatue
time, the sale of medicines by the man
ufacturers and wholesale dealers to
these stores. The retail druggists
have formed recently the United States
Pharmaceutical Company, and have
issued stock to the amount of $20,000,
almost all of which has been taken by
prominent pharmacists of this city:
The formation of the company was
the outgrowth of a recommendation
made by the Illinois ' - Pharmacists'
Association. The members of that as
sociation said nothing could be done
to check the cutting in prices, and
that the druggists must strike out for
themselves and enter the field as man
ufacturers. As a result, 250 of the re
tailers of Chicago met and formed a
company. In two weeks more than
150 Chicago names have been added to
those of the organizers and from the
state at large 100 more nave come.
SEARCH FOR MRS. CODY.
Tacoma's Chief of Police In San Francis
co Looking For a Clue.
San Francisco, Feb; 15. Chief of
Police D. O. Smith, of Tacoina, is in
the city. His mission here is to in
vestigate the cause of the death of H
Cranston Potter, and to try to obtain
a trace of Mrs. Arth ur B. Cody, the
Chicago women who .disappeared
from Tacoma January 30. Speaking
of the latter case, Smith said:
"The disappearance of Mrs. Cody
has caused a greater sensation in Ta
coma than any event of recent years.
She is the daughter-in-law of Judge
Herman Cody, who resides at Pasa
dena, and who was formerly a circuit
judge at Chicago. Mrs. Cody had been
ill of nervous prostration after the
birth of her last child, and, by advice
of physicians, she was sent to Tacoma.
She had, at the time she left Tacoma,
about $30 in her a possession. I am
convinced she went away from Tacoma
as far as that money would carry her.
It is my intention to make a thorough
search for her in this city."
MORE GCNS FOR THE PRESIDIO.
Valuable Additions to The .Fort Point
Battery.
San Francisco, Feb. 17. Another
big gun reached the Presidio yester
day and was hauled to the top of the
ridge back of Fort Point. This is the
second 30-ton rifle to be added to the
Fort Point battery and completes the
trio ordered for this coast several years
ago.
The first to arrive was the 50-ton
monster which has remained un
mounted near the fort for nearly a
year, and which was conveyed to Fort
Point in a barge. Upon the arrival
of the 'wo 30-ton guns last week it was
decided that they could be placed in
position as readily by hauling them
direct from the cars as-by towing them
around the bay and then hoisting them
by means of a steam engine. Both
guns were successfully landed in this
manner, the first reaching the Presidio
last Thursday and the other yesterday.
The guns were carried on two heavy
trucks, securely chained together, and
drawn by four hordes. The first gun
damaged the cable slot of the Union
street car line, so the second one was
hauled "out Greenwich street instead
of Union. While the second was
crossing Polk street a six-inch axle on
one of the trucks snapped, delaying
the work several hours. The three j
guns will be mounted in a short time
and, together with the three dynamite
weapons lately tested, will form a val
uable addition to the defense of the
1 Golden Gate.

DID IT KAIN FROM HEAVEN.
An Infant Found on the Doorstep of Mr
and Mrs. Farley's Residence.
About 4 or 5 o'clock Tuesday morn'
ing Sherman Frank, stepson of Mr. G.
J. Farley, was attracted to the front
door of the family residence by strange
sound as if emanating from the lungs
of a new arrival in the world, and on
opening the door found, sitting on the
front step-i basket in which a young
ster was lustily crying. He at once
aroused the family, and the little
stranger was taken in and cared for.
The child was neatly dressed, having
on clothing that was hand made and of
fine quality, and when found was com
forably wrapped. In the basket was a
custom-made infant's dress on which
to cost mark had been left, and which
may load to its identification, or at
least lead to the discovery of what
city or town the child is from. There
was also found in the aski-t a card,
ou which was neatly written the fol
lowing. "Little Kenneth Clair, born Feb.
17th, 1896. This child is not born out
of wedlock nor of low parentage."
From all appearances the child was
only a day old, but from whence he
came, and who his parents are is as yet
an unsolved mystery. Mr. Farley has
presented the cost tag that was found
on the ready-made dress at every store
in the city, and none of thermerchants
recognize it as having come from their
establishments. This, together with
the. time when the child was found,
leads Mr. Farley to believe that some
one brought it to the city on the west
bound passenger which arrived at 4
a'clock, and his residence probably
being the first one that-'pTosonted an
inviting appearance, as a place whore
the youngster would be well cared for,
it was left there to take its chances of
meeting with a welcome. 'Indeed it
could not have fallen into better bands,
for Mr. and Mrs. Farley are caring for
it as if it were their own, but having
three children, this young stranggr is
not a necessary addition to the family.
They have not yot decided what dis
position they will make of the little
waif that has so mysteriously imposed
upon their hospitality, but will care
for him for a time, and will exort every
energy to discover who he is. -

A Warning to Farents.
It has become a favorite sport with
the boys of this city to assemble in the
O. R. & N. yards, especially on Sun
Gays, and indulge in the dangerous
practice of jumping on and off moving
cars and engines, tnus endangering
both life and limb. By this practice
the boys do not only needlessly subject
themselves to danger, but are a source
of much annoyance to the men work

violating tho law. If parents will not
see to it that their children desist from
this dangerous practice, the railroad
company win oe compelled to eniorce
