The stock market continues to be affected by further talk about gold shipments. It is stated that still another quarter of a million of dollars is ordered for Sat urdays steamer, which amount may be increased to halt a million. Ex change on Loudon has already fallen below the gold importing point. A banking firm here engaged in shipping movements, sajs that there is a small profit in selling sight exchange on London; or sending gold to Berlin aud covering at that center with bills on London. The Imperial Bank of Germany makes the necessary ad vances in order to increase its horde of tho precious metal. Wall street is much disturbed by gold shipments which have recently reached over 2 millions. A leading banker said thisatternoon that he was creditably informed that the German government is hoarding goleC The Bank- of France now holds $260,000,000 of gold, while the Bank of Germany has only $14o,000,000. Dnring the past j ear the Bank of France has in creased its gold holdings by fifty millions of francs, while the Bank of Germany lost ten millions. This has been discussed by tho German cabinet and withdrawals from Loudon and New York have resulted as estimated: 510,000,000 will bo taken by Heidel back, Ickelheimer k Co. on present orders f rom'this city. Gold bars in the asstiy office, which two - ears ago amounted to S90.000, 000, have decreased to $32,500,000. If they should be all absorbed the drain on double eagles iu tho sub-treasury will follow, aud the banks will lose part of their specie holdings. Hlore Coin Required. Special to Tiik Astouiax. New Yomc, June 19. The Finan cial Gazette says editerially: "The fact that our coinage is 3 per cent heavier in silver than that of the Latin Union is sufficient guarantee that the coin cannot be thrown upon the United States. The demand of business of this country requires lately augmenting tho volume of circulat ing medium. The increase calls for from $50,000,000 to $60,000,000 each year, if we lilt this void with silver we shall in no way endanger the stability of the currency." A Disgusted (iold Buff.

Our silver and gold certificates are a paper currency so admirable that we need no change in the present pro visions of tho law, and the legal tender quality being obviously increasing, the existing gold monometalic coin age can proceed unchanged. Any re forging of their last link by free bimetical coinage at whatever ratio will suffice them. Any silver legislation should adopt coinage rates of 10 to l5, midway between our earliest error of 17921 to 15, and ourlatest error of 1834 1 to 16, thus conforming to the rates of all other great bi-metallic coinages. That ratio retains the present gold dollar and requires the silver dollar to contain 400 grains. I remain of the opinion that tho con current withdrawal of greenbacks iu some given proportion to the greater in crease of silver certificates would guar antee safety to free bi-metallic coinage at the right ratio by United States congress, and success against the hos tility and distrust arising from unful filled pledges. The slow, steady with- drawal of greenbacks would not only f nihil the nations pledge, but al3o transform all our paper currency into one of the best kind, and in due time release to private ownership all our im mense treasury reserves, save an aaaple working balance. SPRECKL.ES C03IFCA1NS That the Custom Heuc 'is Unfair. Special to The Astokiax-! PhuiAdexiPhia, June 19. Claus Spreckles made a complaint to the secretary that the New York custom house is discriminating in its polar iscope tests of imported German beet sugar, in favor of tho trust and to his detriment to the amount of $10,000 to each cargo he imports. He claims' in many cases that the tests taken for classification at that part are not above 90 polariscopic de grees, while our German sugars are rarely returned at less than 94 de grees, while the major portion runs up to from 95 degrees to 97 degrees. He cannot understand why this great difference is made between the ports of New York and Philadelphia in po larizing German beet root sugar. THE ((TRIBUNE'S" OPINION On Proposed Silver Question. Sjet.l.il to TiiBAsrouiAX .. New Yobk, Juue 19. The "Tribune thus concludes an editorial oil the coinage craze: "The house assented to the pur chase of bullion enough to take all the silver from American mines for mon etary pnrposes. Iu this the United States takes a step beyond that that is dangerous. There is no ex cuse whatever for making a perfectly sound paper legal tender for the payment all debts, no honesty whatever in giv ing that power to any paper, uuless it is an absolute public necessity. On that solid footing of honesty and jus tice, the house and president can appeal without fear to the sober judg ment of Americans. The "Herald's Opinion. StKjjial to Tint. As ro max.

The name of the murderer and the particulars of the affair are not known. Herit was reared in Portland. Two years ago, when about 18 years of age, he struck a man standing on the !rner of Morrison and Front streets on the head with a stone tied up in a handkerchief, ostensibly with a tew to commit robbery, lor tkis ho was sentenced to a term in the penitentiary. He is also a brother of the young girl, Flora Herit, the alleged victim of Jameson Kinkaid who is now lying in jail awaiting trial on an indictment accus ing him of abduction of the young girl from Ashland, Oregon.

Probably the most remarkable enterprise in census taking in the history of the country is occurring in Minneapolis. In two or three places, up to last evening, could be seen this sign: "It you are loyal to Minneapolis. see that you are enumerated. This is your last chance. Leave your name here and it will be counted." This placard all day adorned the windows of the cigar stores, drygoods stores, groceries, bake shops, "restau rants, saloons and many offices. Census blanks were found every where, and the question, "Have you been enumerated? was asked by everybody. Aldermen, policemen, re porters and merchants went np and down the streets asking everybody they met whether or not they had been enumerated. Supervisor Davenport and his men were allowed to supervise things in a general way, bat the work of the enu merators was practically takeu out of their hands by fully 4,000 men and women who canvassed the stores. business blocks, hotels, boarding- houses aud private dwellings in the search for names of people it was claimed to have been missed by the regularly appointed enumerators. This peculiar style of enumeration created a great deal of indignation in St Paul where the census was quietly completed in the regular way at 6 o'clock last evening, and the opinion was freely expressed that the Minne apolis enumeration would be declared illegal and ordered taken over. Late in the afternoon supervisor Davenport of Minneapolis announced that he could complete the work, and obtain of superintendent Porter per mission to continue the enumeration until next Wednesday. The cause of the trouble is a little affair which occurred last Thursday evening. At that time the Minneapolis census was practically completed and more than naif of the enumerators had officially made their reports. Somehow the rumor got afloat that Minneapolis had only a little over 138,000 people, when the newspapers were claiming 240,000. Probably this report did not come from the census office, because super visor Davenport had no right to go through the returns, but it got abroad ust the same and had its effect on the rasiness community. Theory imme diately went forth that thousands of people had not been counted and the result was an unparalleled promiscu ous, free-for-all scramble for names of residents. Contracts made by telephone are as binding as though made on paper, the onrjr difficulty being to identify the contracting parties. IRON I0LDERS' UNION SUED. Hiionlroii forts Deianis $10,000 Mates.

The executive committee of theBepublican state central committee to-day adopted a resolution as follows, which was telegraphed in full to the Bepublicans in congress from Califernia: Resolved, That in our judgment the passage of the silver bill, as amended by the senate, will supply a demand for money, keep our party pledges, build up and maintain our industries, furnish employment to labor, give new and better markets to the products of the farm, and vitalize all the great and small enterprises of the nation. We, therefore, most earnestly request the Republican members of congress from California to vote for and support the silver bill, as amended by the senate." SULLIVAN AND M'CAFFREY. A Secret Set-to In Sacramento. Special to The Astoria;?. Saobamexto, June 19. There was a very exclusive and select glove contest last evening in an uptown saloon. The audience was composed of some of the leading citizens of Sacra mento, and the principals were Jack Sullivan, of San Francisco, and Jack McCaffrey, a slugger from the east It is said he is a brother of the noted Dominick McCaffrey. Sullivan has taken part in several fistic encounters in this city, and McCaffrey made a tour to San Francisco. He got broke and became stranded in this city. He was quartered at an uptown hotel, which fact became known to several gentle mea ofjportky; fpecleritMB, axulihey yesteraay-aaareaaea a note k a -well-known sport, asking if he would pro duce a man weighing about 140 pounds to meet a "Hebo," who wanted to fight. Sullivan was in town, and was sent up to meet the "Hebo." The latter weighed, perhaps, 180 pounds but Sullivan, who is a game fighter. stayed with him during seventeen hot rounds. McCaffrey who had both eyes discolored and was badly used up, stated he could not whip Sullivan un less he (McCaffrey) were in better condition. The fight was then de clared a draw, and the purse, which is said to have been a' liberal one was divided. The fight was with three ounce gloves. It was impressed upon all present that tho most absolute secrecy must be maintained, but like congressional executive sessions, the newspapers got onto all the details. Refused to Naturalize Him.

"Do you belong to an organization known as the League of Freedom?" "I do." "Is it not one of the objects of that organization to fight all laws distaste ful to saloon keepers?"

Sax Fraxcisco, June 19. Steam is being slowly raised in the boilers of the new cruiser San Francisco in preparation for the trial trip, which has been set for early next month. As before, the representatives of the Dress will not be permitted aboard during the trip, and the utmost care is being taken in selecting -firemen and coal passers to see that no reporter is en gaged unawares. The naval officers and builders of the cruiser have not forgotten the bold attempts of the press to have reporters on the Charles ton on her trip, and they will not have a man on who can write a line if they can help it. The detail of officers, who are to be aboard the San Francisco and rate her speed and horse power, is being prepared. The contract calls for speed, not horse power, as in the case of the Charles ton, and consequently the horse power tests will be of secondary importance. The required speed is nineteen knots an hour, with a bonus of 30,000 for every quarter of a knot above that speed, and a penalty of $30,000 for such quarter of a knot less than that speed. Tho vessel will be pushed for all there is in her. Prior to going on her regular trips the engineers will be thoroughly tested and' several trips about the bay will bfi"niaae. Capt Miner Goodall is ou the, list to command the vessel and the trial will be made in the Santi Barbara jcha nel on the line already marked, out. j. Defending the Harbor. Special to Thf. Astorun Sax Fraxcisco, Juno 19. The qnes tion has been raised as to the capabil ities of the Monterey for defending the harbor of San Francisco on ac count of her light draught. Inspector Fernaud, the United States naval inspector, who is watching her con struction, says of her, that being of the monitor type and only intended for harbor defense, it would be un necessary to make her draw more water than she has been designed for. The Monterey will be ready for launching in about three mouths. The cruiser San Francisco will have her trial trip on July 4th, if the dock trial proves satisfactory. LIFE-SAVING SERVICE. Some Facts About the Boats and Thoe Who Man Tlicm. From 1871 dates the beginning ot the present life-saving service of the United States. The service was then through the influence of Hon. S Kim ball and Hon. S. S. Cox thoroughly organized, and the station manned and officered by those best fitted for this perilous work. Men, strong, able bodied and accustomed to the sea, were appointed, regardless of their political view3. Thus the little seed sown by these men of Capo Cod, fos tered by the Massachusetts Hu mane Society aud by the Na tional Government, has continued to grow, until it has developed into this grand and noble work, ex tending as it does along the coasts washed by the Atlantic and Pacific oceans and the shores of the Great Lakes and the Gulf of Mexico. The total number of stations in commission for the year ending Juno 30, 1889, was 225173 on tho Atlantic seaboard and Gulf coast, 7 on the Pacific slope, 44. on the borders of the Great Lakes and 1 at the falls of the Ohio river at Lou isville, Ky. The life-boats in general nse on the New Jersey coast are flat-bottomed, and the stern not as sharp as the stem. Some are fitted with air chambers, while others are fitted with air-tight copper tanks at each end. The boats used on the Great Lakes and Pacific coast are larger and more complicated in their build, double ended and deep, and supplied with two masts. They are, by their peculiar construction, self-bailing and self righting the former power obtained by a heavy false iron keel; and the latter, by the inside arrangement of the boat, which consists of air-chambers placed along the sides and ends, re lieving tubes and ballast, consist ing of water-tight cases packed with cork, placed at midships, and a scut tle at each to admit a free current of air under the water-tight deck. Along the outside of all life-boats, attached to the gunwale, is a largo roll of cork, to make the boat buoyant. In many cases to this roll of cork are fastened life-lines looped up in fes toons, to which a person in the water can cling. Some of the festoons are made so long that one overboard can easily step into them and unaided crawl into the boat. Three of the stations in the vicinity of the mouth of the Columbia river have these boats, and a fourth will shortly be seenred.
