Associated Tress. Washington, Oct. 20. Senator Slier man says he has no intention to offer an amendment to the repeal bill for the issue of $200,000,000 in bonds to strengthen the gold reserve at this ses sion. At the regular session, however, he will Introduce a bill for that pur pose. Peffer denies that the populists intend to filibuster against the repeal, When the senate reconvened, the re peal bill was taken up. Teller resumed his speech oguinnt the bill, and, with out finishing, yielded the floor to Squire, who spoke In favor of his amendment to the repeal' bill. Squire said In offerinar the amend ment he sought to find a middle path which is the path of safety. Originally he had been for repeal, and there he stood now. There had been a timidity about acting on the' subject of the bond issue (the authority for which he had no doubt existed) when. If action had been tak?n. he believed the present panic would have been averted. Who ftsred an electioneering cry when dan- Rer to his country confronted him? The credit of a great nation involved that of every Institution and every In dividual in it. "Why," said Squire. 'should not the United States obtain two or three hundred million dollars mostly from abroad) at a low rate of interest? Bringing so much money to the country would benefit indirectly ivery one. He ravorett giving tne sec etary of the treasury authority to pay whatever rate of Interest might be necessary up to 4 per cent, and he would trust tho secretary to place the bonds at aa low a rate as possible. he very authorization or the issue of bonds might be sufficient without ever utlng them. He appealed to the senate td do that which was practicable for the immediate relief of the senate and of the people. Cockrell, from the committee on ap proprlatlons, reported with aiiienil ments the bill making appropriations for certain urgent deficiencies for the present fiscal year. Stewart, republi can, of Nevada, then resumed his speech against the repeal bill. When he talked about the act of 1873 which he claimed demonetized silver, Palmer p.sked whether he did not vote for it. Stewart admitted that he did, but said he did so ignorantly. Every senator and representative but one, referring to Sherman, had been deceived. With. out concluding his speech, Stewart yielded, and the senate took a recess until tomorrow. The program of the managers of the repeal bill in the senate is to get to voting some time tomorrow on the amendments to the bill, to finish on Saturday, and to vote upon tho bill itself on Monday. The opinion pre. vails in the senate that the house will pass the bill when sent over with very little delay. Whether there shall then be a recess or an adjournment will de pend upon the committee on ways and means. If the demopratlc members of that committee are of the opinion that the tariff bill will be in shape for presentation before the time for the beginning of the regular session, a re cess will be more probable than an ad journment. Otherwise, the adjourn inent will take place. A well-defined report Is in circulation about the cap ital today to the effect that there nas been an effort made to have the dem ocratic managers of the senate postpone voting upon the bill until after the Virginia election. It appears that the Virginia populists mado the fight al most entirely upon the silver issue and made such headway ns to render the democratic managers somewhat an xious, but when it was represented that the immediate passage of the bill would have a good effect In Massachusetts and New York, it was thought best, to let the bill take its course. .Senator Power spent a. considerable portion of the day in gathering facts concerning the silver bunion in uie treasury with a view to getting sup. port for the amendment to the repeal bill, providing for the coinage of this bullion which will be offered by him self or some other Bllver senator. He finds that there is sufficient of the but lion stored to make $134,000,000 if coin ed, and he thinks there should be little objection to its being coined, especially In view of the fact that the seignorage of this silver, about $54,000,000, would furnish the money necessary to supply the threatened deficit in the treasury He has been canvassing the proposition somewhat among the senators and finds that it meets with favor generally nmoncr the silver men. There is a feel ing, however, among the silver demo crats that the bill should not be amend ed in any way at their instance, so that the administration may have an tho nraise and all the blame for it when it shall become a law. CORBETT WANTS A GUARANTEE. Ashhury Park, N. J., Oct. 26. Tonight Champion J. J. Corbett received a dis patch from the Olympic Club, of New Orleans, offering a purse of $20,000 for the Corbett-Mitchell glove contest at their club. Corbett replied with an acceptance of the offer, but In it he stipulated that the club should put up a deposit of $10,000 as a guarantee that the fight would corne oft in New Or leans.

Our "Beautiful Battleship Floats Down From Her Ciadle. San Francisco, Oct. 2G. Shortly be fore noon today the battleship Oregon the first vessel of her class constructed on the Pacific Coast, was launched from the . ways "t the Union Iron Works, In the presence of one of the greatest crowds of people which ever assem bled there to witness a similar event Representatives of the army and navy, civil officials of the general govern n-.ent and the states of California and Oregon, and a large number of invited guestes were present. At the moment the several thousand tons of steel com menced to glide down the ways, hun dreds of salutes were fired, bands of music played national airs, thousands of spectators gave cheer after cheer, and every steam whistle within a ra dius of a mile of the works Joined In the- :chorus. The launch was entirely successful, and the new battleship now lies in a little lagoon in front of the Vnion Iron Works, awaiting her com pletion, which will be pushed as rap Idly as possible. 1 The Oregon is what Is technically known as a sea-going const line battle ship, and is the most powerful ship In the United States navy. She will have a maximum speed of sixteen and two-tenths knots, and will carry a crew of four hundred and sixty men. Her cost, exclusive of armament has been four million dollars. . The armament consists of four 13-lnch, eight 8-inch, and four 6-Inch breech-loading rllles, and also a secondary battery or twenty 6-pounders and six 1-pounder rapld- flr? guns, two gattllngs, ana also six torpedo tubes. The 13-lnch and 8-lnch guns are mounted in turrets. Quite a large party oi uregonians were present. They Included General Compson, of Portland, tne representa tive of Governor Pennoyer. At a given signal Miss Eugenia Shelby, represent ing! the city of . Portland, touched the electric button which started the ves sel down the ways. Miss Daisy Alnes- worth, representing the state of Ore-Eotv- chrlstemed the vessel. Miss Ruth Dolph, daughter of Senator Dolph, of Oregon, who was to have assisted in the christening ceremonies, represent. lng the United States navy, could not attend by reason of BlcKness. THE NEW TARIFF BILU It Is In the Hands of Cleveland and Carlisle for Revision. Washington. Oct. 26. It Is under stood that the rough draft of the pro posed tariff bill is now in the hands of President Cleveland and Secretary Car lisle for perusal. Some of the features of the bill are radical. The Springer free wool bill which passed the house last congress is incorporated into the bill practically without any change. There is to be a radical cut made In the glass schedule. There will be a considerable enlargement of the free list by the addition of raw materials and a heavy cut in all duties which are not properly revenue duties. The idea of a tariff for revenue only is ad hered to quite closely, but this appli tlon may not be made to coal and iron ore, which goes on the free list, and there is a very considerable shaving down of the entire iron and steel schedules. The tax on whisky will be Increased not over twenty cents. The Increase in the beer tax is practically decided on. The sub committee has not quite made up Its mind on the sugar question, but they have practically de termined not to try to get any revenue out of sugar. The sugar bounty will go however. Either the Income tax or Inheritance tax will be provided as an Increase to the revenues. WILL. WINTER SOUTH. Santa Barbara, Cal., Oct. 26.

THE PASSENQEES ARE ALL SAVEfJ ltattlie Vessel M'orlh llir a Million Uul lars Is rounding lo Pleeea off Point llmilta. Associated Press. San Francisco, Oct. 26. The Pacific Mail Company's steamer City of New York went ashore, this evening in a dense fog unci will probably- be a total loss. She Is hard and fast on the rocks at Pelnt Bonltn. with eight feet of water in her hold. She sailed for China and Japan at 3:30 Oils afternoon and went down tho bay under a full head of steam. The fotf was very thick and In a few minutes the big steamer was lost sight, of. About G o'clock the boom ing of cannon could be heard and sig nal rockets were seen as they burst above the fog. At first it was not known what vessel was In distress, and It was thought It might be the Mono- wal, due today today from Australia. Later it was ascertained that it was the City of New York. The steamer was in command of Captain . li. Johnson and in charge of Pilot Sven son. She carried a large cargo of Hour and a large passenger list, Including two h indred Chinese, When the ship struck the rocks the. Chinese In the steerage set up a howl and Intense confusion reined. The latest advices from the wreck state that the Bteamer went on the rocks at full speed and the numerous tugs which rushed to her assistance could not pull her off. She has eight feet ot water In her hold. All the pas sengers have been taken oft and will be brought back .to this elty. The City of New York was built at Chester, Pa., In 1875, but was practi cally rebuilt a few year sagV She was of 3019.56 gross tonnage, 339 feet long, 40 feet 2 inches in beam, and 20 feet 5 Inches in depth. There is very little wind tonight, and the tugs will stand by the stranded ship all night. Should the wind come up she will probably soon go to pieces. The ship is -valued ut half a million : dollars. A reporter just In on one of the tugs from the wieck, reports that the City of New York Is lying with her head westward, broadside upon the rocks. She Is lying over on tho port side, and has three or four big holes stove In her bottom. Tho vessel will be a total loss. The tide Is receding, and sho is now high l pon the rocks with the surf pounding m oTnT Ln rvun ,t ,3 In upon her. There is noi however, and very little swe now hovering about the wreck could possibly pull the steamer from the recks, but this would be useless as It Is certain that she would go to the bottom. Though tno Bleamer Is doom ed. It Is believed that she will hold- together until her cargo can be Jet tisoned, unless a heavy sea comes on. The cargo consists of canned stuff nnd general merchandise vnl-d at fiCM'. She has also a considerable amount of treasure. (Later.) At 11:30 tonight It Is re ported that there Is no hope of saving tho wrecked steamer. It Is spiked f.ttit upon the rocks and cannot be moved. In attempting to float the vessel, much of her cargo was thrown overboard Into the sea, and, no effort being made to save It, thousandb of sacks of Hour wasted. The bullion and mails are saved.

J MARRIAGB IN BURMAH. A chapter In the Burmese census report dealing with what Is called the "civil condition" of the people, gives much interesting information regard ing marriage In that country. From the tables marriage appears to be much less common than in India, but this Is said to be due to the fact that there is no child marriage among the Buddhists H-nd Nat-worshippers, who form the hulk of the population. More(W, In Hurmah, marriage Is generally the re sult of mutual affection between the parties after they have reached years ot discretion. On the other hand, inar- Hmrn lu mnrp ..nmmnn thprA thn.n 111 j-uiopean countries, for the tie Is more easily formed and more easily dissolv ed, while the motives of prudence have not the same weight. Destitution Is almost unknown, and the wants of life In the temperate climate of Bunnah rue more easily satisfied than-In tho , .-..tier countries ot northern Europe. A juung; Burmese couple can start life ,vlth 'a da 'and a cooking-pot. The uni versal bamboo supplies materials for building a house, lighting the fire, car rying the water from the well, and may even help to compose the dinner itself. The wife Is usually prepared to take a share in supporting the house hold, and thus she has gradually ae q pi red a position of Independence not always enjoyed by married women elsewhere. It has been decided that, under the ancient Buddhist custom prevailing In Burmah, a husband can not alienate property Jointly acquired after marriage without the consent of his wife. Few marriages take place where either parly Is under fifteen, and the usual uge Is between fifteen and twenty-five. Polygamy now practically no longer exists, although in ancient times the Burmese were polygamlsts as well ns slaveholders. Most Burmese have only one wife and few more than two. The first, or head wife, Is usually the choice of the husband In his youth, nnd when she ceases to have children she often nssists In the choice of a young wife, who Is bound to obey her. The ease with which divorce Is obtained is said to be one of the causes why pol- ygamy is so rare. The terms of di vorce are based on ancient rules, one of which Is that the party wishing the separation can take his or her property and no more; the other party takes all the rest, Including the children. The safeguard against caprice in husbands Is not merely public opinion, which condemns too frequent divorces, but the self-respect ot women, which pre vents them from marrying a man who ha; divorced his wives too freely. The privilege of perfect freedom In this re spect Is said to be rarely abused. Di vorce Is very rare, a fact attributable equally, perhaps, to the high position, occupied by women in Burmese society, tho care with which marriage contracts are entered into, and the extreme even ness of temper which characterizes l)th sexes.
