FREIGHT TRAFFIC BLOCKED. LOOKING FOR A “LITTLE LIST.” Efforts to Be Made to Ascertain Who Were Bribed by the Panama Company. Panis, Jan. 28.—At a meeting of senators belonging to the democratic section of the left ft was resolved to request M. Bour- geoise, minister of Justice, to cause a search to be made of the residences of M. An- rienx and M. Delahaye, with the view of finding the list of persons compromised by the Panama scandal, concerning which M. Delahaye and M. Andrieux have spoken on several oc- casions, bat they have failed to produce. DELAHAYE'S CELEBRATED CHAROES. | In his celebrated speech, which started the Panama investigation by the chamber of depu- ties, M. Delahaye eaid that no less than 3,000,000 frances were distributed among 150 members of 5 a few of whom were senators. > deafening shouts of “the namen” were raised on all sides. The excitement and tumult were intense, but M. Delahaye contented him- self with declaring that the inquiry he de- manded would divulge them. When, after long waiting. M. Delahaye was abie again to make his voice heard, he said that | this first distribution of money only increased the appetites of those who had shared in it. The administrators of the Panama| Canal Company were assailed by a veritible pack of political hounds; and they had, fo to say. no choice between pillaging the com- pany’s tillsand succumbing. {Prolonged up- roar and renewed shouts of “Names.”) A bundred thousand francs was required for one journal, a hundred thousand francs for another and a hundred thousand franes for | election expenses. That three hundred thou- sand france was handed over by the canal com- pany, but he would not ray who received it. | M. Delahaye reported that she could not say to whom the 300,000 franca was given, but he could sag that sam was given by the Panama | Canal Company.

On account of the influence attached to ita! great foreign journal with 500,000 francs, and Continued shouts for *‘names” only made M. Delahaye repeat that the inquiry he demanded would divulge them, but he could tell the Honse that the great foreign journal in question was prudent enough not to sign its name at the back of the check. -It was one of that journal's messengers who signed the check, but he (M. Delahaye) knew the name both of the journal and its messenger. FORTY THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR ONE DEPUTY. ‘The committee of the chamber charged to re- port ona bill for the lottery loan was com- posed of five members in favor of the the eleventh member had no opinion, but he went to the Panama Company’ and offered to| vote in favor of the bill for the consideration of | 200,000 francs. The company at first refused, but at the last moment paid the money. After the refusal that he first met with this venaldeputy formed a syndicate for a fall in Panema shares, because he intended to procure the rejection of the measure, and when he received the money and changed’ his tactics, by which the bill was adopted, he forgot to inform his associates in the syndicate for the fall. That gentleman was completely ruined by the sudden rise which took place in the Panama shares. In spite of repeated demands by the chamber M. Delahaye refused to give names. He per- sisted in the same attitude before the commis- sion of inquiry and it ia now proposed to ob- tain by search of his residence, if possible, any list that he may have. | M.Andriewx, in his testimony before the com- mission, stated that Dr. Cornelius Herz had shown him a document accounting for the sum of $1,250,000 francs received by Herz and dis- by him among 104 deputies, of whom givea list. M. Andrieux ‘had been 1 proofs in regard to certain names and would try to obtain them from M. Herz. He could not, however, guarantee the accu- racy of the note which he had communicated to the committee, and still less of the document giving the amonnts alleged to have been re- ceived by the 104 deputies, for he had been led to consider Baron de Reinach’s word as being by uo means above suspicion. — LIKE A RAID OF THE DALTONS. Attempt to Roba Bank at Waverly, Kans.— Robbers Beaten Off. Wavercy, Kay., Jan. 28.—This httle town was startled yesterday by a tragedy of the regu- desperate attempt to rob rly in broad daylight, the flight and pursuit of the bold robbers and the shooting down in the streets of an innocent citizen. At 3 o'clock in the afternoon two masked men entered the front door of the bank, and, cover- ing Cashier Duvall and Assistant Cashier Con- verse with their revolvers, proceeded coolly to rob the vault and cash drawer. While they were thus engaged Mr. O'Neil, a merchant, entered the bank for the purpose of making = deposit. At the risk of his life Cashier Duvall called out to him to run and arm the citizens. The robber who was guard- ig the counter leveled his revolver as though he would shoot, but for some reason changed his mind. Mr. O'Neil ran across the street and gave the alarm. The robbers ran for their horses, which were in the alley behind the bank, closely pursued by a number of citizens, Foremost im the pursuit was A. S. Ingleman, As the first of the robbers leaped into the saddle he turned quickly and fired at Ingleman ball through his heart, death being ‘A fusilade of shots followed, in getting out of A posse of citizens followed | aad were joined by others from | c Malvern.

Expressions of Grief From Leaders in Mas- sachusetts. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. Bostox, Jan. 28—If, as was expected by many in Boston yesterday, Augusta, Me., had been chosen as James G. Blaine’s last resting place, Massachusetts would have spared no effort to fittingly honor the dead statesman. tee, which has sent a request to the family of the distinguished statesman asking that his body be allowed to lie in state in Boston, ‘in order,” ns the resolution says, ‘‘that the citi- zens of this commonwealth may have an oppor- tunity to do honor to the mortal remains of one of the most distinguished and most beloved citizens of the United States.” In no part of the country was the great ex- Secretary of State more popular than in Massa- chusetts. It was not always so, however. Ten years ago he was not the choice of the politi- cians of the state for President. He did not have the majority of the Maswachmsetts deloga- tion in many of the nominating conventions where Blaine's star has been in the ascendant. But in this it is only fair to state that the party leaders did not represent the will of the voters. This was shown in 1884 when some of the republican delegates returned from Chicago to lead the mugwump defection of that year. were unable to carry more than a small but pretentious handful of voters with them. ‘The plain people of Massachusetts stood with that one solitary delegate who voted first, last and all the time for James Gillespie Blaine. ‘They made a hero out of him, and from an un- tentious lawyer his name became one of the known in the state. From that hour Mas- sachusetts republicanism has grown more and more robust. Its majorities, owing to the nat- ural increase of a prolific democracy, have grown smaller, but the spirit of the party, its stability and power of resistance and its fight- ing qualities teadily improved until in the last election its support of the presidential ticket made this the banner republican state. Massachusetts speaks with no uncertain sound today. She is as prond of James G. Blaine as she ever was of her Sumner. His name is upon every lip. Ex-Gor. John D. Long sa} share the sal sorrow in the loss of #0 brilliant and able a man. He was one of the master minds in the politics of the Inst twenty-five years—un- surpassed in the versatility of his talents and the personal impressiveness of his contact with the popular sentiment. I regard him also as one who has contributed to the literature of the times. fle was not only a statesman and orator, but a writer of admirable style and wide research. Few men have hada quicker hold on the hearts of the people, and all sections of the Union will mourn him.” ‘The “‘original Blaine man” of Massachusetts, Mr. Jesse M. Goro, says: “The greatest states- man of the century has passed away and the greatest man as regards his own friends, for he was true to his friends and never held bitterness toward his enemies. Those whofhave hated him the most ought to bow their heads in shame. ‘Those who have talked the worst against him ought tobe hereafter dumb. It will bemany years before another mag will be found who will be 80 close to the people, so loved and worshiped by them as was Mr. Blaine, and there will never be one who was more worthy of their adoration than he.” Judge E. R. Hoar—“He was my personal friend, and I know no man like him to take his place.” I always thought he would make a magnificent President of the United States, and have never known of anything to lead me to change that opinion.” Charles Levi Woodbury (dem,)—“T think Mr. Biaine will live in the history of the country ‘as one of its brightest lights, i well be proud of him and will probably the future say, ‘Ob, for an hour of Montrose Ex-Gov. Ames—“I regard Mr. Blaine as ablest and most far-seeing statesman we have had within my recollection. I think he was a thoroughly honest man and greatly belied by men who did not havea tithe of his honesty. Mr. Blaine has suffered from the fact that ho wasa most brilliant statesman, Every man who had an aspiration for the presidency al- ways struck at him as one in their way. I think he was the most popular American, and that he was so regarded the world over, as well as the greatest.” FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. following are the opening. and closing prices the New Vork Suscu Scarket nate fed by apectal Sireto Conon & Macartney. streak.

Mr. Dolph (Ore.) offered a resolution, which was referred to the committee on commerce, authorizing that committee to hold sessions during the recess anywhere in the United States and inquire into the expenditures for rivers and harbors.

Mr. Simpson (Kan.) could understand why the plutocrats of the country wished to build up the military poste. He could understand why the members of a party that was in faver of building Chinese wall around the commerce of our nation would desire an increase of military organization; but he could not understand why a democrat should do so. It has been stated by the gentle- man from Ohio that the military bar- racks in many places were in a dilapidated condition.

THE NEWS OFFICIALLY RECEIVED RERE—WHAT MINISTER SMITH SATS LED UP TO THE OUT BREAK—SECRETARIES FOSTER AND TRACT CONSULT AS TO STRENGTHENING THE Uv. 8. NAVAL FORCE THERE. Secretary of State Foster received this morn- ing advices from the Hawaiian Islands to the effect that the monarchy has been over- thrown and = a it govern- ment established in the interests of the whole people of the islands. The cabinet was voted out on January 12 and another appointed on the 14th, on which date the queen prorogued the legislature and at- tempted to proclaim a new constitution, dis- franchising foreigners and increasing the royal Prerogatives, On January 16 the citizens or- ganized a committee of safety. On the 17th the provisional government was established and ‘he queen dethroned. The revolution was accomplished without the loss of a single life. United States troops were landed, in accordance with the re- quest of the ican minister, to pre- serve property of Americans. The new gov- ernment has been promptly recognized by most of the diplomatic representatives. The four men who constitute the head of the pro- visional government are of character, one having ed his place on the supreme court josition. Latest advices report tate of tranquility. ANNEXATION COMMISSIONERS COMING. Mr. Mott Smith, the Hawaiian minister, has received an official dispatch confirming the re- Port that the Hawaiian government has been overthrown and that commissioners from tho new government are on their way to Washington from San Francisco to ask that Hawaii be annexed to the United States. Mr. Smith is now at the State Department waiting to advise the Secretary of State of the informa- tion he has received. "The State and Navy De- partments have been officially informed of the revolution. TO CONSULT THE PRESIDENT. Immediately on receipt of the dispatch con- veying the above information Secretary Foster called on Secretary Tracy and the two cabinet officers immediately went to the White House to lay the matter before the President. At tho same time a copy of the dispatch was sent to Mr. Mott Smith, Queen Liluokalini'’s diplomatic representative in Washington. That officer had already received similar information from Mr. Thurston, leader of the commission sent to this country to negotiate the annexation of Hawaii to the United States. Mr. Mott Smith visited the State Department this morning and had a conference with the Secretary. WHAT MINISTER SMITH SAYS. In conversation with a reporter Mr. Smith said tnat the revolution was probably caused by the queen's alleged attempt to abrogate the constitution. ‘*In 1887,” said Mr. Smith, “the King of Hawali was given almost absolute ower. He could spect and dismiss his mem- Dor at will and had no restrictions upon his acts. This, of course, could not last, and the ple took this power away from King lakaua and adopted new consti: tution, which he was obliged to sign. The ative element has alwayschafed under imitation which was thus placed on their ruler. Yielding to these mutterings of discon- tent, the queen, I suppose, very foolishly at- tempted to put the old order ot things in force. ‘There are too many Yankees and Englishmen in the kingdom, however, to submit to this, and, asa consequence, she now finds herself dethroned and her country practically a re- public” While Mr. Smith was the representative of the former government he will continue to act under the new government until relieved. To INCREASE THE NAVAL STRENGTH. Secretaries Fosterand Tracy had a confor- ence during the day with a view to increasing the naval strength at Hawaii. The Boston is now the only United States vessel in that vicin- ity, but ‘the U. 8. 8. Adams, Mohican and Ranger, now at San Francisco, aro available for sea service. The two former can sail at once, but it will as ae a few days’ reparation. It is probable that the Mo- ican and Adams will be ordered to Hawaii at once and thet the Ranger will fol- low soon after in caso of need. The coast de- fense vessel Monterey, also at San Francisco, could be pushed to completion inside of a month in case of extreme necessity, but it is not thought to be at all likely that the services of this vessel will be called into action. She is completed, with the important exception of her turrets, It will P| take at least ten days for either the Mohican or the Ranger to make the trip to Hawaii under the most favorable conditions. No orders have yet been issued for the sailing of these vessels. The Boston and Her Officers. In view of the probability that the Boston may be called into action in maintaining the rights of the United States in Hawaii consider- able interest now attaches to that vessel and the officer in command of her. She is genreally described as & protected cruiser of 3,189 tons displacement. She is 270 feet 3 inches iong, 42 feet beam, 17 feet draught and has a speed of 15.6 knots. Her maximum indicated horse power is 4,030. Her battery consists of six 6-inch and two 8- inch breech-loading rifles with a secondary bat- tery of two 6-pound rapid fire guns, two three-pounders, two one-pounder hud®.47 min. Hotchkiss revolving cannon, 2.87 min. Hotch- kiss revolving cannon. She was built by John Roach under the Arthur administration in 1883. at a cost of $619,000 for hull and ry. She is a sister ship to the Atlanta, now in the West Indies. A LIST OF THE OFFICERS. The following is a list of the officers of the Boston: Captain, G. C. Wiltze; lieutenant com- mander, W. T.

The President is known to be most friendly disposed to Hawaii and likely to encourage its aimexation to the United States. In his mes- sage to Congress December, 1891, he said: death of King Kalakaua in the United States afforded occasion to testify our friend- ship for Hawaii by conveying the king's to bis own land in ® naval vessel with due honora The, forernment of his suo- ‘cessor, jueen iuc i, i to comme, Queen, niokaial is secing’ to United States.

A Simple Service at the House—Arrange- ments Made for the Ceremonies at the Church—Messages of Condolence—Twelve Pallbearers Invited. The closely drawn blinds of the Blaine man- sion, the air of quiet pervading its surround- ings, the crape on the bell knob, and the absence of the newspaper watchers who for seven weeks have remained uninterrupsedly on duty day and night within sight of the house, were the only visible signs today that the long expected end had come, The funeral of the late €x-Secretary of State will take place on Monday. There are to be services at the house and also at the Church of the Covenant. At 11 o'clock Rev. Dr. Teunis 8. Hamlin of the Church of the Covenent will offer a prayer over the body before it leaves the house oy La- fayette Square for the last time. Oniy the members of the family and a very few of the most intimate friends will be present. Here, as well as at the church, the services will be of the simplest character possible. Mr. Blaine had a great repugnance to any display of mourning, and 1s aid to have expressed the wish that his own funeral might be private. In accordance with this wish the closing scenes of his earthly career aro to be as unostentatious as it is possi- ble to make them. _At the church.to which the cortege is to move directly, the service will consist merely of the reading of the Presbyterian burial ritual and prayer by Dr. Hamlin. There will be no music save that of the organ, which will be played by Mr. Walter Damrosch, the dead man's son-in- law. Seats in the church will be reserved for the President, Vice President, members of the cabinet and their families, members of the dip- lomatie corps, and the friends of the deceased. ‘These reservations will nearly exhaust the seat- ing accommodations of the building. ARRANGEMENTS COMPLETED TODAY. ‘The arrangements for the funeral were today Practically completed. At the desire of the family everything is to be as simple as possible. The twelve gentlemen who are to serve as honorary pallbearers have been selected and notes of invitation have been sent to them re- questing them to officiate, but Mrs. Blaine today asked that their names be not made public until replies from all of them had been received. The decoration of the Church of the Cove- nant, where the service is to be held at the close of the brief exercises at the house. has been placed in the care of Col. Ernst, superin- tendent ef public buildings and’ grounds. Flowers and ms will be used. These have been already offered in profusion by the Prosident from the White House con- servatories, by the Agricultural Department and by Superintendent Smith of the botanical gardens. ‘The decorating will be done by Mr. George H. Brown, the public gardner. The designs are not yet Mrs, Blaine’s request they be per- fectly simple. There will be a banking of flowers along the railing of tho gallery, palms will be used around the pulpit and the chandeliers will be hung with smilax. Every- thing is to be as cheerful as it can be made and white ribbons are to be used instead of black. it is Mrs. Blaine’s desire that the funeral in all ite details should be precisely like that of the late Mr. Walker Blaine. THE ADMISSION To THE CHURCH. | ‘The center of the church is to be reserved for the family, the pallbearers, the President . amaplete, but at i corps will be placed at the right of the pulpit, Senators and members of Congress will be placed at the left. No one will be admitted to the church unless they belong to one or other of these . no room for the general public,as there are but 770 seats and all these’ will be needed. Friends of the family who know what Persons are entitled to admission will stand at the various doors of the church to pass in those who have been invited. There will be no cards, but admission will be by identification. ‘TRE DIPLOMATIC CORPS. Baron Fava, the dean of the diplomatic corps, has written a note to the Secretary of State asking what arrangements would be made for the diplomatic and, at the request of Mrs. Blaine, Mr. Foster re- plied that the funeral would be private, but that seats would be reserved for such as de- sired to attend. A similar notice has been sent to the Vice President and to the Speaker of the louse. The church is to be roped off and guarded b; the police. Maj. mone irected the liew- tenant of the precinct to detail a farce of men to be on hand to-keep off the crowd. THE USHERS. ‘Mr. William E. Curtis has been asked by the Blaine family to take charge of the funeral details, The following gentlemen should have the suitable promotion of the two | Pe governments. I strongly retommena that pro. | °t* vision be made for improving the harbor of Pearl river and equipping it as a naval station.” In his message to Congress in December, 1892, he referred to Hawaii as follows: ~-Our relations with Havawii have been such as to attract an increased int and must continue to doso. I deem it of great im- portance that tho projected cable, ® survey for which has been made, should be promoted. Both for naval and Uses we should have quick communication with Honolulu.

A STATEMENT BY THE PHYSICIANS. Following is the official statement of the phy- | sicians who attended Mr. Bieine in his last ill- ness, issued late yesterday: | The beginning of Mr. Biaine’s illness dates | back some years. The earliest signs of ill- health were associated with, and no doubt due to gouty tendency which manifested itself in subacute attacks of gout, disturbances of diges- tion and progressive innutrition and anemia. Subsequent events prove that at this time changes were going on in the arteries of the | body, which resulted later in symptoms of abliteration of vessels, and in chronic disease of the kidneys. The attack of paralysis in 1857 | was connected with similar alterations in the blood vessels of the brain. | During the summer of 1892 the evidences of | failing health were more decided, and in No- vember, after his return to Washington, his symptoms suddenly assumed an aggravated form. From this time, although there were | periods of apparent improvement, he contin. ued to grow worse from week to week. The symptoms were at first more directly connected | with the kidneys, and examinations of the | urine showed that there was a progressive inter- | stitial change going on in that organ, and that December signs of lung complication a peared, which no doubt connected with the general di: » but as tubercle baccilli | were found in the eputa it is probable that there was some tubercular infection as well. Much of the distress which Mr. Blaine «uffered ‘was associated with this disease of the lungs and his death was certainly hastened by it, Toward the end of December the heart be- gan to show signs of unusual weakness from cardiac degeneration and dilatation, and on December 18 he had an alarming attack of | heart exhaustion. From this he rallied, but | others of the samo nature recurred on several | occasions. From the middle of January these attacke | ceased, and the action of the heart was more uniformly good. was, however, a daily loss of flesh and For three days before Mr. Blaine’s death there was no in bis condition, each day he seemed somewhat more feeble than on the day before, and on the night before bis death he did not seem to be in any immediate | danger. ‘Toward the morning of ihe 27¢h inst. his pulse was observed to be very feeble and his | more embarrassed. As a result of | the failing heart action, edema of the lungs occurred and he died without much suffering at 11 o'clock.

I haven't the remotest idea that he ever changed his religious ideas or connections.” Mr. Blaine’s depression for some months past was dne more to a broken heart than toanything else. The death of bis son, Walker, and of Mrs. Coppinger seemed at the time ali he coald bear. He depended grontly upon Walker for assistance in all state affaira, Then the death of Emmons was almost more than he could bear.
