THE REPUBLIC OF BRAZIL — The Congratulation Resolution Passes the Senate. ———— THE SENATE, Mr. Sherman called up the joint resolution, heretofore reported by him from the commit- tee on foreign relations, congratulating the people of the United States of Brazil on their adoption of a republican form of government, and said that it was the first clause of the reso- lution introduced by Mr. Morgan, and that as the republic of Brazil had already been recog- nized in the confirmation of the appointment of an envoy extraordinary it had been thought Proper to pass this joint resolution so that it might be presented at the same time. The resolution is in these words: “That the United States of America congratulates the people of Brazil on their just and peaceful as- sumption of the powers, duties and re- sponsibilities of self-government, based on the free consent of the governed and on their recent adoption of a republican form of gov- ernment.” The joint resolution was passed unanimously. HAWAII AT THE PAN-AMERICAN CONGRESS. Mr. Sherman, from the committee on foreign relationg, reported the joint resolution request- ing the President to invite the king of the Hawaiian Islands to select delegates to repre- sent the king in the Pan-American congress, now assembled at the capital of the republic, end it was passed, Among the bills reported from committees and placed on the calendar was the following: For the sale of the site of Fort Bliss, Tex., and for a new site and buildings. On motion of Mg Jones (Ark.) Senate bill to authorize the collatraction of a bridge across the Arkansas river in the Indian territory was taken from the calendar and passed. EXECUTIVE SESSION, The Senate then, at 12:50, on motion of Mr. Dawes, proceeded to the consideration of executive business. CAPT, FOLGER’S NOMINATION CONFIRMED, The Senate committee on naval affairs today had under consideration the nomination of Capt. Folger to be chief of the bureau of ordnance of the Navy de- artment, Messrs, Herbert and jogan, ischarged employes of the navy yard, ap- peared and argued aguinst @ favorable report upon the nomination. They based their objec- tions upon Capt. Folger’s treatment of the men under him, claiming that it was brutal and over- bearing and unfair. Mr. Herbert also asserted that Capt. Folger was incompetent for the place. The committee voted to report the nomination favorably and the Senate promptly confirmed it this afternoon. NOMINATIONS TODAY.

The House met at 11 o'clock this morning in continuation of yesterday's session, The de- bate on the proposed code of rules was con- tinued by Mr. Dockery (Mo.) in the vein of earnest criticism. The proposed rules, he said, would relieve Congress of the necessity of repealing taxation, at least as far as the sur- plus was concerned. He preglicted that at the end of the session the sur- = would have disappeared by reason of e prodigality which the rules invited, Dis- cussing the question of permitting the Speaker to count a quorum he expressed his profound regret that any conceivable party interest could have induced the apenas to abandon constitutional grounds for the unexplored region either of parliamentary law or of the new power sought to be conferred upon the Speaker. The proposition to allow the Speaker to decide what dilatory motions were was based upon tho idea of the infallibility, in- corruptibility and impartiality of the Speaker, He would be glad that the Speaker should be SHIELDED FROM THIS TEMPTATION, no matter how smail the majority of his party might be. No just’ and impartial Speaker should be clothed with the authority of this rule, much less should he seek its irresponsible powers, Such powers were more in harmony with Bus- utterly repudiated the functions of the speaker- which developed and aggrandized the par- ex those parliathentary and judicial attributes which had adorned and honored the Speaker's illustrious predecessors, - THE NEW CODE DEFENDED, Mr, Morse (Mass.) defended the proposed code, He said, in substance: Our democratic ing appropriations of Inanswer think it safe to say that the maj of House, which is at present repub! , aad the men te See eoetnciont sperensiosinbe, We yet of Boston, Of 900,000 absbitantsy and ‘paying’ “ak enormous revenue to this government, : at ih epignot and. pours’ out bung bureau is another illustration of demo- - farmers and mechanics, and, indeed, to all classes of our people. It has been repeatedly stated on the other side during this debate that the present republican President did not receive a majority of the popular vote of the country. What that has to with the 2 frowned under consideration I am not able to iscover; but how would it have been IF THERE HAD BREN A FREE AND FAIR ELEC- TION and an honest count in the southern states of this Union. Why, it took more than thirty thousand votes to elect the Representative im my district, and I am told that there are men sitting on this floor who received less than 1,500 votes, Suppose the other 28,500 men in that district entitled to vote had voted and had their votes counted, and had been free to exercise the election franchise, who then do you sup- ose would have had the popular vote of that istrict and of the country? Away with this nonsence about Cleveland having a ma- jority of the popular vote of the country, when there is no such thing asa free and fair election in several of the great states of the Union, and when masses of men are disfran- ised and not allowed to vote at all, THE BUSINESS MEN OF THR COUNTRY are demanding business legislation and that the “‘do-nothing policy” of Congress tor the last ten years shall change, and how shall you change it without amending the rules that bind the body hand and foot? The business men of the country want a bankrupt law. We want at least radical amendments to the inter- state commerce law. We want greatly needed public buildings in centers of population and asiness, We want life-saving stations, light houses and needed improvements to rivers and narbors to keep pace with this great and growing country, We want laws regulating and restricting immigration, We want a wise revision of the tariff on pro- tection lines. The Union soldiers want the soldiers dependent pension Dill, a bill that de- crees that no soldier shall die in the poor house—vetoed by Grover Cleveland. WE WANT A NAVY AND COAST DEFENSES that will command confidence at home and re- spectabroad. The country has been demanding this legislation for ten years, and the only way to reach it is to cut the chains that bind this body, as is proposed by these new _ rules, and make it a republican body, where the majority, who are responsible for its acts,can do business. “I am no orator, as Bratus is, but only a plain, blunt man that loves my friends,” and I claim a8 @ representative of the plain peo- ple to say that they do not understand this business; they do not understand by which bocus-pocus, by what trick of legerdemain the minority were able to defeat the majority in Congress for the last twenty years. ‘Ihe plain people all over the country do not understana the process by which the minority in the body is able to de- feat the majority so as to pore all business, and we are content to go before the people on this issne, STRONGLY SUPPORTED THE NEW CODE. Mr, Allen (Mich.) strongly supported the rules, especially that which permits the Speaker to refuse to recognize dilatory motions, and he eulogized the recent action of Speaker Reed in this respect. The dilatory motions had not been made to further public business, not to prevent raids on the ‘treasury, not for the pur- poe of settling some great question, but had je for the purpose of preventing the consideration of the question whether Jackson had a right toa seat on this floor. He ridiculed the excitement which had prevailed on the democratic side, but said that it had quieted down when the democrats and the country had seen that the Speaker was NOT A REED TO BE SHAKEN BY THE WINDS. He criticised the democrats for sitting in their seats and refusing to vote. It might be said that this was parliamentary, but his- tory would say that it was silent seces- mn, and that the members were t doing the duty which their oath of office required them todo. He denied the charge that the rules would allow raids upon the treasury. The representatives of the ple. on the republican side of tho louse were not men given to loot- ing. They were men who represented con- stituencies which were conservative, which had a knowledge of the value of stability, of the value of law, of the value of order and ME HURLED BACK THE CHARGE that the republicans were revolutionists or ever had been. The fathers were revolutionists when they broke away from Great Britain, but since the nation had been founded the republicans had never attempted to destroy it, The revo- lutionists, if there were any in the House— which he did not believe—could not be found on the republican side. THE SAME OLD TACTICs. At 11:55 the House adjourned, and at noon the session of Wednesday began. The journal having been read, Mr. Boutelle of Maine asked unanimous consent for its approval, but objections came from the democratic side and 4 roll call was made necessary. The — nal was approved—yeas 119, nays 1 (Mr. Buck- alew)--the Speaker counting 72 democrats as present and not voting. A KENTUCKY PROTEST. Mr. McCreary (Ky.) entered his emphatic protest against the new code and criticized the recent decisions of the Speaker. That officer had defied all precedents and had reversed the parliamentary decisions of nearly all the Speakers who had presided over the House fe. had not only overruled Blaine, Gar- field, Hawley ani Conger,’ but he had overruled his own utter- ances when on the floor of the House, The, time had come when the House needed rules instead of a ruler and dictator, fairness and justice instead of communism and Cwsarism. le inveighed against the new rules, asserting that their effect would be to make the Congress of the United States consist of the Senate of the United States and Speaker Reed, Chief Clerk of the State Department. Secretary Blaine went to the Department of State this morning for the first time in some weeks, and the first thing he did was to sign a paper making Mr. Sevellon A. Brown chief clerk of thedepartment in place of Col. J. Fenner Lee, resigned. Mr. Brown assumed his duties at once and started immediately upon the work of the office, which is very familiar to him.

Tlove my country and wish to serve her. I am guilty of no crime.” The duke of Orleans will not be formally committed to prison for a few weeks yet in order that he may have an opportunity to ap- peai his case, On being conducted to his cell in the eon- ceirgerie the duke withdrew the curtains and saluted the crowd which had gathered about the building.

George Kennan Thinks the Report of a Massacre is True. Curcaso, Feb. 12.—Mr. George Kennan, the well-known Siberian traveler and writer, who is now delivering «series of lectures in this city on the Russian penal system, was asked in regard to the dispatch from Paris yesterday de- tailing the outrage to Mme. Sibeda by a prison offic: at Kara = and the — dintress- ing train of events which.followed, He said the dispatch bore the impress of trathful- ness, ‘Paris contains a large number of Rus- sian refugees, and they have means of com- municating with the penal settlement that no other persons have. The Ya- koutek massacre came out through the refugees in Paris, and it is evident that the person who wrote the dispatches knew some- thing about the location of the prisons at Kara, I have been there and know that the male and female prisons are some distance apart, I never met the ladies mentioned, but I knew of Mme. habvalafskava, and have heard of Mme. Siheda. I will undoubtedly hear something of this matter ina few days, but at present 1 know only what I sce in the dispatches.” “How could such information get out of the closely guarded penal settlement?” “Some officer might have been prosent who did not approve of the outrage and told some of the prisoners about it. Then some of the women may have seen it and sent word to Paria. Such outrages never can be covered up. They are bound to get out some way. There are 700 or 800 male prisoners at Kura, and some of them manage to convey information to their friends at Paris or elsewhere ee THE NAVASS DICT.
