Special to Tuk astokiax. Washington, June a A California associated press representative talked with senator Jones, of Nevada, to-day about silver matters. Since his recent nniiiant speech in the senate on the silver question, Mr. Jones has occu pied a very enviable position among Washington statesmen. "Senator Jones, do you like the silver bill passed by the house Saturday?" inquired the California associated press correspondent to-night. "You mean how do I dislike it," laughed the senator. "Well, it is bv no means what we wanted and wha't western people demand. It mmnlv makes a commodity of silver bullion. wo wanted silver coinage, and this is what we got from the house. When the bill comes over on the senate aide, we will pass a free coinage uui or notning. we will not favor any compromise measure. In conference between both houses on tne matter. I am honefnl thnt th house will accede to the demand of tne country for silver coinage. We will impress upon them verv fnmlhlv 11 -. ,, ... : '. -" 'Mt lue iocs mat it we are to nave any silver legislation at all this session, it must be something very nearly ap proaching the free coinage of silver" "What would be the effect of the enactment of the so called Windom bill into a law," asked the reporter. "Why, it simply provides for the storage of silver bullion, and the is- a contract with the Indian commission, for the sale of the reservation. The terms are a IGO-acre allotment to each Indian, and for the residue of the laud at SL22& per acre. The number of Indians at present is 523 and the amount of laud allotments taken is 395,000 acres, and the total paid by the government is $185,000. , Guthrie is overjoyed. The old boom element has reappeared and hundreds of tents are scattered alorig the borders of the reservation under negotiation. The Sac Indians are sat isfied already, by choosing their allot ments. The Iowas are doinc likewise. The Pottawatomies will trade next week, making a total of over 2,000,000 acres open for white settlement in the Indian territory.

I have lived in the second or third stories of desirable flats or mod ern houses since I was put into short dresses. I have viewed the world from exalted heights, especially when I hung clothes in the garret on wash days, and I am prepared to say that although some people pay extra to live on the first floor front, they miss the very richness of ex istence. Cream alwavs rises to the top. I have just moved out of apartments on the second story of a very narrow nouse, and think tho architect who planned the building must have dona it with one eye. Its whole width ac commodated the width of an anart- ment of ordinary size, so, instead of tne rooms branching ou from one an other in their usual convenient fash ion, they had formed a procession in Indian file from the front elevation to the coal house. If you were in the kitchen you had to go through every room in order to get to the front room. You couldn't wander about that house you could only go through it.

One of tho results of large families living in small flats is tho folding bed. They lean against the wall, trying to look like a book case or cabinet organ, but I can always tell them. When I see a piece of furniture looming up like a monument factor-, with a kind of nothing-in-particular air about it, then I know that it is a bed in disguise. Our parlor wa3 situated about mid way down the line of rooms so as to connect with the front stairs. Two of us girls had a folding bed in there. "We used to arrange vases and photo- grapn noiuers upon it during the day time in our endeavors to conceal its identity. Every other room except the dining room and culinary denart- ment was the station for a bed, and when we had company to stay all nignt we used to spread canvas cots in tho back hall. I used to hum a sweet little soncr about "Oh. Dut me in mv little cot, mother!" but since affording auKuuuuuuauuna ior my visiting rela tives by spending a few nights out in the back hall on a bier, with a tent roof for a tick, I have refrained from petitioning my mother to do any such thing. It seems natural to those not accus tomed to dressing rooms to take off and put on their clothes in the bed room, consequently we used to dress and undress all over the house. Any one by simply walking once through our flat in the dead of night could nave fallen over enough wearing ap parel to havo set him up in the cloth ing uusiness. RECETVrXa CAIiTjERS. There was some inconvenience in this predominance of dressincr rooms. especially if any one called in the day time before our toilets were complete or in the night time after any of us had retired. "We never heard the ont- sido front door bell ring but its sound smote us with terror. Wo 'would fly trom au parts ot tno nouse and con gregate at tho head of the stairs to hear if what we dreaded was true that the caller was ours. It often was. Then tho real earnest work began. One of us tore off her apron, tied her shoe, combed out her front hair and secured her teeth preparatory to open ing her then carefully closed door. Others flew down the length of our rooms gathering dress waists, petti coats, bath towels, accordion skirts, mgnigowns ana tne like as they went Wo were almost sure to leave a piece ul liuuiuuu or some touec article in a conspicnous place. It seemed to be fate. People coming up stairs to see its always heard a loud crashing and the sounds of flying feet, but after they knocked upon the cherry stained panels au was still. We used to ston jusewnerowo nappened to be when the knock came. OTHER FEATURES. One cold winter's evening I stepped in a small clothes press, winch opened into the parlor, and I was obliged to exist there for two hours and a half while my youngest sister talked to a man about the liklihood of finding ten varieties of orchids at Portage Falls. One time, when my basque waa hanging on the door knob in the kitchen, when I was in the front room, and two callers in seal sacks were awaiting me in the parlor, I had to hail our grocery man's errand boy as he was going by with a sack of flour and send him around into the kitchen with an order for my basque. I thought delivering basques would come rather natural to one used to carrying sacks. He brought it around iu me lruut oi ine nouse ail right and I fished it nn -nn'th a. An interesting experiment maae a lew days ago in placing a ball buoy over Noonday Bock, whick u about four and one-half -"or Ova niUi north and a little west of the: Nortk Farallone Islands. The old bao? went adrift during the stonnaintke spring, and was picked up several miles down the coast. Noonday Book lies about eighteen feet below the surface of the water, and ia dangerooa to incoming vessels that get omt of their course in fogs or by drifting ia the currents that run very swift aloag the coast at certain seasons of the year. When the buoy broke awar from its moorines it left no traoenf the rock, but it was well Imnwn f ht the Farallone Luanda, tbA rook and Point Beyes formed a right aaffW, the rock being the point where two imaginary lines would meet to fon the angle. The difficulty was to find the rock without surveying and Bound ing, which would have been a Kafrmifr task. Several days ago Tiighthnaaa, Inspector Captain Thomas Perry and. Captain Davies of the lighthouse steamer Madrono went out on the steamer to locate the rock, and pot in the buoy. When they reached a. spot where they thought the rook was they resolved on -testing tip truth of an idea that many sea faring men entertain. It isneoeaaexT to explain said idea. It is well know that there are innumerable seals imH sea lions along this coast. Old naHiita say that seals frequent aad flooar around submerged rocks aa well-a rocks that aDDear above tha wafer. &-.: that if they can be alarmed by-aTjevaV. -sudden noise or a concnaeioa- xa the water they will rise to tha ear. face in a body from around arajmb-. merged rock, and that one can real assured that the middle of the rook i ueiow ine center ot the group of sea animals. "Let us give that idea a practical test It will do no harm," said Gaaw tain Davies, addressing inspector Cap tain Perry. "All right; pull the rope,n was 4a reply. Captain Davies grasped the cord to the steamer's whistle and ffava.it a dozen short, sharp jerks. The noise was deafening, and, of course, pro-' duced a concussion on the waves. All hands watched the surface of thesmx rounding water. 'Several seco'ada passed, when suddenly, off tha.tvirt. side, innumerable seals were seen to come to the surface. There were' hundreds of the animala and tbar stretched themselves as far oat' of water as possible to find what had disturbed their repose beaeatk the waves. The steamer was several hundred yards distant from the group; which covered half an acre or more of space. The experiment was a success but the Madrono was so faraway that the inspector, not wishing to" put the" nnnv in fit? ranilnm rtaiiAaJl r. mi-mjj ;-;t s: "r:r xsms ugiuu. uut uuuuK ills l steamed away, so that the settle down on the rook m the day the steaaaa& to about the place we tka seals arose before, and.' agaib the heavy-voiced whistle. wa blown, and once more theseaaaiaaaif came to the surface near the vassal.
