The House then went into committee of the whole (Mr. McMillin, of Tennessee, in the chair) on the private calendar, the pending business being the Senate bill to incorporate the Nicaragua canal company, Mr. Spinola (N.Y.) offered an amendment striking out the clause which authorizes the company to exercise such powers as have been conterred upon it by the government of Nica- ragua, If this was to be a stock-jobbing affair, ke said, the sooner it was known the better. He thought that his amendment ought to pre- vail for the protection of those persons who ex- oe to invest their dollars in the enterprise. lo Nicaragua and the company was, ‘MR. COX IN FAVOR OF THE BILL. Mr. Cox (N. ¥.) expressed his ignorance of the facts upon which his collegue predicat his statement that this was a stock-jobbing af- fair. Stock might be affected by it; he did not know. After a brief constitutional argument in support of the measure, he urged the im- portance of its im from a commercial standpoint. He believed in extending Amer can commerce; he believed in following the Southern cross. There was one ping more than another, it was a revival of its shipping interest. If it could not be done by domest: legislation, let Congress give its enterprising citizens the egis of the republic to go out and draw to the United States the commerce of the world. (Applanse.) Mr. Farquhar (N. Y.) remarked that if the amendment were adopted the bill would belike THE PLAY OF HAMLET WITH HAMLET LEFT ovr. Speaking in advocacy of the measure, he de- clared that it would place in the hands of the and Indian trade. The constwise trade had been concen+ ated in New England aud New York. He was willing that, in the rehabilite- tion of southern commerce, New Orleans should strive for the prize of the two South Americas. and he hoped that when this bill should have passed such an impetus would be given to the coast marine of the south that out of the iron | and coal of Alabuma would be built the 4,000- jton steamers which would reap | the triumph of the commerce of Nicaragua and States show to the congress of the three Amor- icas, which would soon meet in this city, that instead of empty phraseology of resolutions of comity and good will the government had opened to the two Americas south of usa high- way costing $10,000,000, backed up by the sen- timent of the Fiftieth Congress. {Applause.] AN IMPORTANT MEASURE. ‘Mr. Weaver (Iowa) regarded the measure as one of the most important which had been be- fore.Congress for a decade. The Nicaraguan canal would bear the same relation to our com- mercial property that the discovery of the Cape of Good Hope had borne to the com- merce of the mother country. Mr. Maish (Penn.) considered the amend- ment as a proper one for the House to adopt. There was no constitution, state or federal, which would authorize the granting of an in- ah ates such as was proposed by the pend- ing bill Mr. Adams (IIl.) contended that the clause, which the amendment proposed to strike out, did not confer any dangerous authority, and that it was mpcer in order that the work should be successfully accom) Mr. eater! re his hi concurrenct the remarks of his colleagues in favor of THE EXTENSION OF AMERICAN COMMERCE.

Three Naval Vessels Ordered to Hayti. THE DIPLOMATIC DEMAND FOR THE RELEASE OF THE HAYTIEN REPUBLIC TO BE ENFORCED— STATE DEPARTMENT OFFICIALS BETICENT, BUT SECRETARY WHITNEY TALKS. Action has been taken by Secretary Whitney which leaves no doubt as to the policy of this government with regard to the case of the American steamer, Haytien Republic, recently seized at Port au Prince, Hayti. The release of the vessel has been demanded through the proper diplomatic channels, and if the demand is not complied with within a reasonable period of time steps will be taken to enforce it. With this end in view Secretary Whitney yes- terday sent telegraphic instructions to Rear Admiral Gherardi, commandant of tbe New York navy-yard, to have the ships Richmond, Galena and Yantic prepared for sea as rapidly as possibly. It was expected that these vewsels would, in the ordinary pro- gress of the work upon them, be completed in about two week. The idea now is to have them ready so that they can sail direct for Hayti early next weeks. Orders have also been issued for Rear Admiral Luce, commanding the North Atlantic station, to transfer his flag from the Galena to the Richmond and to use that vessel as the flagship of the expedition. WHAT SECRETARY WHITNEY Says. Officials of the State department are, as usual, reticent on the subject and will not ad- mit even that the release of the Haytien Re- public has been demanded. Secretary Whit- ney, however, is very outspoken in the matter, and when approached by a Stan reporter to- day admitted frankly that he had ordered the naval vessels et New York to be putin readiness assoon as possible to start for Hayti. He added: “There is a local disturbance there, you know, and it is always a good plan to hnve naval vessels near at hand on such occasions,” “You remember,” he continued, “that the Hay- tien authorities referred the case of the seized steamer to this government, Well, we have reached a decision. and that is, in short, that they have got to give her up. It is unfortu- nate that the yellow fever broke out on the Boston while she was at Port-au-Prince, and compelled her to leave for a cooler climate. Otherwise matters might have been settled before now. If it would not be somewhat un- safe we would send the Boston back to aid the other vessels in case of necessity. ‘That's about all there is to it. We do not think that the seizure of the vessel was justified, and are therefore determined that she must be | delivered up to us.” The fact that the govern- ment is about to send several vessels to Maytien waters, where they are likely to become infect- , is considered as another tie Republic even if th jack with it. PREFERS Senator Palmer Says He Willnot be in Harrisoa’s Cabinet. et the yellow TO BE A FARMER. Senator Palmer does not want a cabinet posi- which stated with some emphasis that he would be in Presideat Harrison's cabinet. ‘My dear friend,” said he, in his jolly good- bumored way, “I wouldn't take a cabinet posi. tion under any circumstances. I wouldn't have it if it carried with it a salary of $500,000 a year with nothing to do. Iam tired of “official life and want a rest. I think I will devote myself to agriculture when my term expires; I am rather tickled at the idea of being a horny handed tiller of the soil, Don’t laagh. Wouldn’t I look weil in a brown blouse and blue overalls with white patches in conspicu- ous places. And then think how nice it will be in th m summer wether, when the fresis breezes blow gently through the green forests of Michigan, to sniff in the delicious odor of new-mnown hay while the ear delights itself with the harmonious buzzing of bees as they wander knee deep in clover and gather in honey which wiil fetch at least 9 cents a pound at the store. Then there is another sound that stirs ap the farmer's tympanum— the dinner horn; what memories of corned-beet and salt pork and cabbage and beans stir me up when I hear the dinner horn, Oh, 1 ama farmer, I am.” WHY HE VISITED THE PRESIDENT-ELECT. The facts in connection with the Senator's visit to General Harrison are as follows: The Senator has a decided affection for Roswell G. Horr, of Michigan, and he wants to see Mr. Horr’s republicanism and ability recognized by the next administration. In furtherance of this design the Senator and Mr. Horr journeyed to Indianapolis and talked the matter over | with the President-elect. The result of the conference was a promise of something good for Mr. Horr, and now the Senator is satisfied, The Burst Gun. ORDNACE BUREAU OFFICIALS SAY THE CASTINGS COULD HAVE BEEN REJECTED ON THEIR MERITS. In an interview published in the Philadel- phia Times to-day in regard to the bursting of the big gun at Annapolis on Wednesday Wm. Hainsworth, of the Pittsburg Steel Casting company, who superintended the designing and casting of the gun, is represented as say- ing that ‘the gun was seriously weakened by the tempering and attempts to improve it by goverment officials, If we bad finished it here at our plant, in the same way other steel cast- ings are treated, I think the result would have been different. No, I'll not make another gun. T’ve lost faith in this kind of ordnance.” A Sran reporter was informed to-day at the bureau of ordnance, Navy department, that the government had in no way interfered with the tempering of the castings. That work was all done before the was received. All that was done at the W: yn navy-yard was the necessary machining, such as rifling and ting in the breech pin und testing the cast- “The required teste,” said an official, “showed clearly that the did not come up to the required specifications, and they could have been rejected. There had been so much talk about the steel castings for guns however, it was thought best to put the gun in shape an: give it a fair trial, vrscrtrr bias trae} eran = ings at regular intervals and will make iteelf a ommitioe easing teetimony which tae ltd before it poor tern aa tion, He laughed when a Star reporter show:d | jhima Detroit special toa New York paper | Telegrams to The Star.

Lord Randolph Conspicuously Snubbed in the House of Lords. Special Cable Dispatch to Tar EvENtxe Stam. Loxpox, Dec. 7.—It was expected that Gen. Lord Wolseley would make a statement in the house of lords yesterday respecting Church- ill’s disclosures, consequently there was a large attend-nce. Churchill took a position early at the foot of the throne, the space reserved for members of the house of commons, but as the time wore on and no statement was forthcom- ing the audience dwindled. While Churchill stood expectant Lord Salisbury left the house, passing im close proximity to him, but without speuking. This fact was generally remarked. A certain section of the tory party even talk of drumming Churchill out of the Carlton club. While Churchill kept his owo party igworant of his intended motion in regard to Suakim, a five-line whip was issued the same day to the liberals. The real reason was that on the same day an important vote on the chief secretary's salary was down for discussion, and the liberals intended to move a reduction. Churchill's ex- | planation of keeping his own party in_ignor- | ance of his intentions is that if they had got wind of itsome tory member would have becu | certain to give a motion about Suakim, thus, by the rules of the house, preventing any discussion of sub- ject on a question of adjournment. Gen. Graham repudiates the terms butchery and massacre applic d to the military opera- tions in the eastern Sondan four years ago. He says the result was to relieve Tokar and Sua- kim, and by a firm » government might have solved the Soudan problem, but in what way he does not say.
