Important Questions Considered by the President and Hin Adviser: The cabinet meeting today was of unusval importance. All the members were present. Among the questions considered were the government finances, the troubles in Brazil, the Hawaiian question and the Chinese ex- clusion act. It is settled that the admints- tration has determmed to enforce the de- Portation clause of the Geary law to the extent of its funds available for that pur- pose, and that Congress will be asked to make an additional appropriation sufficient to enable a thorough enforcement of the law. New regulations for the eufdance of faternel Tevenue officers in the enforcement ¢ law’ are in process of preparation at the Treasury Department. THE CHINESE STATION. The Naval Force to Re Strengthened to Provide for Emergencies. That the administration ts not over san- wuine that the Chinese government will re- gard the strict enforcement of the Geary exclusion law with peaceful equanimity seems to be well established by its active efforts to increase our naval forces in Chi- nese waters. The Chinese government | May not attempt violent retaliation against American citizens and American interests in the flowery kingdom, but it appears to be deeme’ prudent to be prepared in time for such an emergency. Heretofore almost any vessel of the navy was regarded as good enough for service on that station, | and at present the fleet is composed entire-| ly of old-time wooden ships of war. Ar- Fangements have been made, however, for a change, and it is now in progress. Nearly the entire present fleet Is to be replaced with new steel ships, with the best of mod- ern arms and equipmen' Three New Cruisers. ‘The gunboat Concord is now on her way to China, and will reach Singapore in a few days. The gunboat Petrel has been re- Heved from duty with the Bering sea pa- trol fleet, with orders to proceed direct to China. The original purpose of having her repaired at San Francisco before her re-| turn to the land of the Mongols has been abandoned, as causing unnecessary delay. Whatever repairs are necessary will be made on the Chinese station. The fleet will also be increased by the cruiser Balti- more, which has started from New York for China, and will make the voyage by the shortest route, through the Suez canal. She will relieve the wooden frigate Lancas- ter as flag ship of the squadron. The Lan- caster will return home soon after being relieved, and will be put out of commission for repairs. The Alert is already on her way home from China, and is due at San Fran- cisco about the end of the month. ‘easels Now There. ‘The available vessels now on the Chinese station are the Lancaster, the Marion and the Monocacy,all of them old-time wooden ships. The three recruits, the Baltimore.Con- cord and Potrel,are modern steel vesseis. In fact, the first named {s the fastest as well as the most powerful vessel that has ever represented the United States In those waters. The two gunboats, especially the | Petrel, which is the smaller, will be par- ticularly useful in river navigation, because of their light draught. The pressing ne- cessity for more vessels of this class will | undoubtedly hasten the construction of the three other gunboats authorized by Con- gress, and of which two are to be built with ‘special reference to service in the rivers of China. ————-o+______ A JAPANESE PRINCE. He Arrives in Washington ana win Meet the President Tomorrow. ‘The grand nephew of the Mikado of Japan arrived in the city last night. He is known as the Prince Yorihito Komatsu. He is rather undersized, but has an erect and wiry figure, although his features are all small. His general appearance is rather feminine, and he has that “excellent thing” —a low, soft voice. resented to the President by Secretary of tate Gresham, who was today waited upon by the Japanese minister, in order that proper arrangements should be made for the ceremony. The prince will remain in the city a few days, visiting points of in- terest. The prince is traveling Incognito under the name of Count Mishima. A year ago the prince was married, and when the em- peror ordered him to go abroad he was not allowed to take his wife. The prince spent three days in Chicago. He expects to re- turn to Japan next August, after spending the year traveling and studying in Europe. This is the second visit of the prince to this country. In 181 he was here on his Way to study at the Greenwich Naval School, Ensiand. After five years there he went to a French naval academy, where he stayed four years. Then he returned wo Japan and became a Iteutenant in the royal navy. He speaks English with easy ac- curacy. Mutsuhito, the emperor, ts forty-one yeara old. His son is twelve years old. Prince Yorthito Komatsu is in the tne of succos- ston after this son. The emperor, accord- ing to custom, is paying part of the ex- penses of the prince's pr trip. Prince M. S. Nagasti!, minister of cere- monies for the Emperor of Japan, accom- Panies the imperial prince. Two ‘servants are the only other members of the party. Tomorrow he will be | MR. FAULKNER'S PLAN The West Virginia Senator Speaks Today. LOOKING 10 BIMETALLISH. He Suggests Provision for Additional Silver Coinage. DUTY OF THE DEMOCRACY. Mr. Faulkner of West Virginia spok2 in the Senate today on the repeal bill. His speech was awaited with interest because it was understood that he would sugzest in {t an amendment to the pending measure which might be accepiable to the silver men. This proposed amendment contem- Plates a declaration by law that the gov- ernment will exert its influence to re-es- tablish silver on an equality with goi¢, and @ provision for additional coinage of full legal tender silver dollars at the present ratio at the rate of $3,000,000 a month until an aggregate of not less than $800,000,00 is reached. In beginning his speech Mr. Faulkner spoke briefly of the overthrow of the re- publican party in the recent election and laid down the proposition that the Ameri- can people in that election passed upon Senator Faulkner. three great principles of sovernmen: ministration. First, the people demned that system of class lei Which was the most striking feature of federal legislation during the administra- tion of the republican party. Second, with @ unanimity and emphasis rarely equalled they had uttered their condemnation of the attempt to interfere with the American doc- trine of local self-government or home rule, which was champloned by the republican administration and a republican Congrees. ‘Third, that the financial policy which for twenty years has been controlled and shaped by powerful agencies. with a view of increasing the values of property held by those depending upon annuities and fixed income and depreciating the values of all property in the hands of the pro- ducers of wealth should be radically and effectively changed. Responsibilities of th: Party. ‘The democratic party no longer occupied the attitude of a minorit} party. The responsibilities of government had been transferred to its shoulders and it should see that its conclusions were guided by sen- timent of the highest patriotism. To carry into effect the commands of the people and the pledges of the party they should be willing to make personal sacrifices of com- fort or inclinations; to harmonize thetr differences as to details without in any degree sacrificing those principles to carry out which the states had commissioned them as their representatives. It was in this spirit and in this hope that he ap- proached the discussion of all measures seeking to redeem the pledges of the party and to carry out on good faith the declara- Democratic | tions of its authorized representatives. Mr. Faulkner said that {t was one of the duties of this Congress to promptly repeal those sections of the revised statutes which made possible a career so distasteful to the American people as that of John I. Daven- | port. Such repeal would relieve the burdens resting upon the people and place it beyond the power of any future administration by federal interference at elections, to shape and dominate the political complexion of the legislative branch. The democratic party in both branches of Congress with promptness, but with proper deliberation was proceeding to redeem every pledge it made to the people and to relieve the bust- ness stagnation and financial stringency resulting from causes for which it was in no way responsible and over which it had no control. The President's Message. Referring to the President's message, Mr. Faulkner spoke of the sterling integrity and unflinching courage of its author. But if after a full consideration of the views of the President, he, should honestly differ with him in his conclusions and find him- self unable to follow to the full extent on the line the President may have indicated, he could not surrender his convictions and blindly pursue the path that his judgment did not approve without being sensible of the fact that he would be unworthy to oc- cupy his seat in the Senate. Many of the causes which have undermined public con- fidence could be traced in his judgment events which had occurred and policies in- augurated beyond the boundaries of the republic. ‘These causes which he enumerated, were, Mr. Faulkner thought, more influential in producing the results to remedy which Congress had been called together, than the purchasing clause of the act of 1890. What- ever might be his action on the questions involved in the repeal of the first section of the Sherman act. Mr. Faulkner desired that the reasons which would control and in- fluence his vote should not be left in doubt. Not Attributed to the Sherman Law. After reviewing the condition of affairs in this country, Mr. Faulkner said that the attempt to appeal to the credulityn of the American people and ask the repeal of the purchasing clause of the act of 1890 upon the assumption that the execution of the authority contained in its first section had produced the conditions which all recog- nized as existing, was, in the light of the experience of the past two weeks unwar- Tanted and the conclusion reached could not be ligittmately demonstrated by any Process of human reasoning. While he did not believe that this act caused the condi- tion in which the country was found today, still he was sensible of the fact that in- fluences had been put in operation to in- duce the people to believe that tts would restore confidence and réfease the circulation now hoarded by the people, The country was, in its condition, simply a hypochondriac and as no legislative medi- cine can reach this abnormal condition, the only hope for a full restoration for the pailent was to yield, upon reasonable con- ditions to his hallucination and rely upon the faith that was in him to effect a cure. Mr. Faulkner repudiated none of’ the friendship that he had shown in the past |for silver, but asserted that the present situation was entirely different from what it had been in the past. Assuming the premise, which he latd down at some length, to be true that the it commercial na~ tions of the world, {including the Unttod States, we cee cme ar to . single gold standard, every hour of study strength- ened his convictions that it would be as unwise as {t would be impossible for the United States, at this time to attempt to establish free and unlimited coinage of silver at any ratio, and at the same time preserve the parity between the two metals, (Continued on Sixth pe TROUBLE American Ooffee Merchants Are Said to Be Seriously Affected, No Warship There Except the Yantic- Secretary Gresham’s Dispatch to the United States Minister, ‘The situation in Brasil is regarded as extremely serious and is engaging the at- tention of the President and his advisers. A phase of it considered at today’s cabinet meeting was in regard to the best course to pursue for the protection of American interests in Brazil. The obsolete and prac- tically useless wooden ship Yantic ts the only resemblance to a United States war ship now on the Brazilian station. The gunboat Yorktown has probably left Monte- video on her cruise to the Pacific. She arrived there on the Ist instant for coal. It ts probably too late to catch her now for service in Brazilian waters. The cruiser Charleston, which is also bound along the east coast of South America for service on the Pacific station, left Barbadoes about two weeks ago, and is Row somewhere in the vicinity of Brazil. She will probably put in at either Rio de Janeiro or Montevideo for coal, and, if 80, could be detained in Brazilian waters as long as necessary, or until relieved by the cruiser Newark, now fitting out at the Norfolk navy yard, for duty as the flagship of the South Atlantic station. She will not be ready to start, however, for at least ten days or two weeks, and the special Necessity for her presence in Brazil may possibly be over before she could possibly get there. The threatened trouble in Bra- ail will undoubtedly result in expediting the departure of the Newark. Coffee Merchants Affected. The coffee merchants of New York are seriously affected by the action of the Bra- zilian government in ordering the suspen- sion of all cable communication with that country, They made an attempt yesterday to learn whether the Brazilians were dis- criminating against the United States in the order. Louis Seligsberg, the secretary of the coffee exchange, wired Secretary of State Gresham and received the following answer from the Secretary: No specific discrimination against Amer- jean citizens or trade in Brazil being al- leged, any independent protest against the suspension of cable messages would be uf doubtful utility if the measure has been adopted for defensive purposes. But if de- sired by New York merchants, Minister Thompson can be instructed to concur in @ general diplomatic remonstrance against the burdensome interference with the for- eign commerce of Brazil. In reply to it the Coffee Exchange sent the following dispatch: Honorable W. Q. Gresham, Secretary of State, Washington, D. C.: Coffee Exchange, in behalf of the New York merchants interested in trade with Brazil, respectfully ask that the United States minister at Rio be instructed in ac- cordance with the suggestion contained in the closing sentence in your today's tele- gram. HENRY HENTZ, LOUIS SELIGSBERG. Secretary Gresham today acted in ac- cordance with the request of the New York merchants, and sent a cable message to United States Minister Thompson at Rio de Janeiro, instructing him to make a vigor- ous protest against the ‘burdensome tnter- ference with the foreign commerce of Bra- zil.” It was suggested to the minister that he secure the co-operation of the represen- tatives of other foreign governments. ——_-e-+—____ MR. QUINCY’S RESIGNATIO! He Leaves the State Department to ‘Take Charge of the Campaign. Mr. Josiah Quincy called on the President late yesterday afternoon and personally re- signed the office of Assistant Secretary of State, for the purpose, he explained, of tak- ing active charge of the political campaign in Massachusetts. The President accepted the resignation to take effect at Mr. Quin- cy’s conventence. It is probable that Mr. Quincy will hold the office up to the Ist of October. Mr. Quincy has been a conscien- tious and efficient official, but was far from being popular with his offictal associates in the department, and, it is understood that a realization of this was one of his reasons for leaving the federal service without com- pleting the reorganization of the consular service, a duty said to have been specially assigned to him.

Mrs, Hart Will Argue for Their Ad- m™ fon at Reduced Rates. Mrs. Ernest Hart, who is the founder of the Donegal industrial fund, and has charge of the Irish village at the world’s fair, is going to appear before the commit- tee on ways and means of the House to- morrow to make an argument in favor of the admission of the Irish textiles to this country ut a reduced duty. She says that the duty is now prohibitory, though the hand made laces and fabrics produced by the Irish peasants are not like anything oduced in this country and cannot enter Tito competition with native manufactures, ‘What she wants 1s to open the markets of America to this product of Irish industry, and she says that this will be of much greater benefit to the Irish peasantry than the subscriptions of money sent by Ameri- cans to Ireland. —————————— A GENERAL AGENCY. How American Manufactures May Be Introdaced Into Belgim. “American Manufactures in Belgium” forms the subject of a recent report to the State Department of Mr. George W. Roose- velt, United States consul at Brussels. He says he has given much thought to the question of the most advantageous and Practical means of introducing our manu- factures into Belgium and gives his con- clusions as follow: “Tt is generally conceded by the commer- cial, as well as the agricultural, classes of this country that almost all articles coming from America designed either to increase the comfort of man or lighten his labor are of a quality and workmanship superior to similar products of other countries. American machinery, sewing machines, tools, agricultural instruments, &c., are lighter, stronger, and more sctentifically constructed than similar manufactures sold on this market. “With my knowledge of the Belgian char- acter, I belleve the most satisfactory, as well as practical, means of introducing American goods would be through the es- tablishment of a general agency in this city where our manufactures could be ad- vantageously displayed. such an establish- ment to be supported by Interested manu- facturers and dealers. If such goods as sew- ing and other machines, agricultural im- Plements, garden utenstis, lawn mowers, electric machinery, carriages, wagons, rub- ber goods, corn meal, canned goods, ofls, grains, seed, &c., could be presented by a m_ thoroughly conversant with our industries, I am convinced that in a very short time more than half of the articles now furnished by France, Germany, and other countries would come direct from the United States to Belgium.” —_——_——_—+-e+___..

They crossed Cape Fear bar at 7 @.m. this morning and anchored in the stream neaz Southport, Final Session of the Pan-American Medical Congress. MANY PLEASANT SPEECHES MADE Good Results of the Meeting Set Forth. OFF ON AN EXCURSION. ‘The Pan-American congress, which has een in seston in this city for tour days,clos- ed its meeting today and already the dele- gates have begun to scatter toward their re- spective homes. Many of them are leaving direct for Chicago, especially the delegates from the Central and South American states, to visit the fair, in order that they may have still more to talk about when they get home. Before they left the city they expressed themselves, almost to a man, as having been wonderfully impressed with the dig- nity and the actual value of the sessions of the congress. The opinion prevails among local medical men that the congress has been one of the most successful gath- erings of the profession ever held in this country. Composed as it was of representa- tive medical men of the highest standing from most of the countries of North and South America, it has in a real sense uni- fied the profession upon the entire western hemisphere. This has been one of the most gratifying features in connection with the congress, the fact that the delegates have all been men of such individual prominence and standing that it has given the gathering @ force and power that mere numbers could not have done. Gratitied at Its Success, ‘To say that the men who were instrumen- tal in organizing the congress are pleased with the success of it all 1s to express a truth but mildly. They feel that the con- gress has accomplished from a practical standpoint even more than was hoped from it in the beginning. For these results espe- cial credit is given to the department or Section of hygiene, climatology and demog- raphy, which has’ been particularly active. ‘Their’ action, it is true, is of an advisory character, and the most they can do with national matters is to make suggestions, but it is not looked upon as unlikely that some of their suggestions will bear fruit in actual results, Dr. Albert L. Gihon, who has been prominently identified with this section, told a Star reporter that never 'n his long experience with such bodies had he met with one which did #0 much real and enthusiastic work. The doings of this section have been the most important, from @ general point of view at least, because they have dealt with matters that are of vi- tal interest to the states that have had their representatives in the congress. Among matters of this sort handled by the Congress through the section was the Proposition to establish national depart- ments of health in the different countries, which shall have powers allied to those of the other executive departments, to deal with all questions of sanitation that are of importance to the people. The departments are to be under the direction of compe- tent medical men, who are able to properly handle all matters that shall come before them. This resolution or suggestion was referred to the international executive oom- mittee, and by it reported by a unanimous vote favorably to the congress at its clos- ing session today. The resolution looking to the complete suppression of immigration from cholera infected ports was abandoned as it was thought it dealt too much with matters that should be left to the different countries separately. This morning Dr, Gthon reported from the section of hygiene @ resolution concerning the matter of fumt- gation of immigrants’ baggage. This was referred to the executive committee for !ts consideration. When the congress adjourned today, It was announced that the internationul ‘ex- cutive committee had accepted the invita- tion of the government of Mexico to hold the next meeting in the City of Mexico. ‘The meeting will be held either m 18% or 18M, the exact date being left to the execu- tive committee, so that it shall not con- fict in any way with the next great in- ternational meeting of the profession which 1s to be held in Europe. The Final Session. The final session of the congress began a Uttle after 11 o'clock this morning. There was a larger attendance of delegates than at any of the meetings since the first. The session was opened by an earnest and elo- quent prayer, delivered by Dr. Byron Sun- derland of the First Presbyterian Church. The gentleman from Rto de Janetro, who was to have delivered the general address of the morning, was detained by the un- certain condition of affairs at home, and the result was that there was no general address. Prof. Garcias of Colombia made a brief but pleasant address on behalf of his own country. His address, like that of so many of his colleagues from the south, was de- livered in Spanish. In the course of his remarks he said: “I regret that I was unable to be here on time. We have a congress on hand in our country at present and that is the reason why more of our most representative men of my country are not present. On their behalf I tender you our congratulations. In the name of the country, my people, my colleagues, I tender our thanks for the courteous invitation which you have extend- ed to us, and to the people of your country who have shown us so many kindnesses and hospitalities.” Dr. Valentine’s Address, Dr. Ferd. C. Valentine, ex-surgeon general of the Honduran army, but now the editor of the Medical Press of New York, followed in @ more extended address tn English, in which he referred to the characteristics of his country, especially from a sanitary standpoint, In his address Dr. Valentine said: “In the name of the republic of Hon- duras I beg to thank you.

The New Minister to Hawa‘ Mr. Albert S. Willis of Kentucky, who was today appointed as mintster to Hawait, to succeed Mr. Blount, ts well known in Washington and is a favorite with all who know him. For many years he represented the Louisville district in Congress and was one of the leaders of his party. He was an ardent civil service reform advocate when in Congress. Mr. Willis’ nomination revives an interesting story, showing upon what slender threads sometimes hang political success. Mr. Willis was retired from polit- ical life as an outgrowth of an appoint- ment made by President Cleveland during his first term. When Garfield was Pres!- dent he appointed Mrs. Thompson, widow of W. R. Thompson and daughter of Rev. Alexander Campbell, founder of the Camp- bellite Church, to be pcstmistress of Louls- le, Ky. She was retained by the Arthur admin- istration, and when Mr. Cleveland came into power the question of the removal or retention of Mrs. Thompson came to the front in Kentucky polttics as one of the burning questions of the hour. Represen- tative Willis, backed ty Senator Beck, favored the retention of Mrs. Thompson, and Senator Blackburn opposed it. This caused a split in the party and the nominat- ing campaign for the Fifticth Congress coming on, the Courter Journal took up Mr. Asher Caruth and supported him as its candidate in opposition to Mr. Willis, who was charged with not being consistent in his democracy in supporting the widow of a republican for preferment under a demo- cratic administration. This became the jount issue in that district, and upon it Mr. Caruth came to Congress, where he has since remained. According to the records, Mr. Willis’ his- tory 1s as follows: Albert S. Willis of Louisville, Ky., was born in Shelby county, Ky., January 2, 1843, His early education was recetved in the common schools and he graduated at the Louisville Male High School in 1860. Afterward he taught school for four years, then studied law and grad- uated at the Loutsville Law School in 1866. Since that time he has been continuously engaged in the practice of his profession, In 1872 he canvassed the state for the dem- ccratic electoral ticket. In 28% he was elected attorney for Jefferson county, and was re-elected in 1874. His congressional career began in the Forty-fifth Congress and he served in the Forty-sixth, Forty- seventh, Forty-eigth and Forty-ninth Con- gresses, holding a high place in the party councils and filling the tnfluencial position of chairman of the committee on rivers and harbors. Mr, Willis’ Duties. Mr. A. S. Willis cannot, strictly speaking, be said to succeed to the position made va- cant by Mr. Blount. Mr. Blount was ap- pointed a special commissioner and was afterwards appointed minister plentpoten- tlary as a matter of convenience. The work for which Mr. Blount was sent to Honolulu has been completed and the posi- tion to which Mr. Willis is appointed does not Include the special investigation with relation to the treaty of annexation. The fact that so prominent a man as Mr. Willis has been selected for this position is re- garded as an indication that the position of minister plenipotentiary is not to be a tem. porary affair as it would, were Hawall an- nexed, but is to be of longer duration and this points apparently to a protectorate rather than annexation. Mr. Willis is a man of ability and possesses an amiable and agreeable disposition, which made him & very popular member of the House and holds to him many close friendships. He was one of the few southern men who ad- vocated the Blair educational bill or some- thing similar. His appointment to this po- sition is received with very general favor. ——__+-o.___ MEDICAL EXCURSION.

DENVER, Colo., Sept. &—The following letter, written by Dr. T.

The New York Herald's Valparaiso, Chili, correspondent cables: Latest advices received here from the seat of the revolt in Brazil state that the army still remains loyal to Peixoto, and that the artillery in the fortress of Santa Cruz, which commands the entrance to the bay, are under fighting orders and will not await an attack by the squadron, as was first in- tended, but will open fire upon the men-of- war if they come anywhere within range. One cause of the suspension of tel communication to or from Rio Janeiro by E=-~ President Peixoto of Brasil. the Brazilian authorities is the fear of Peixoto’s government that if the news of the naval revolt should travel south from the capital it would give a new to the revolution in Rio Grande do Sul. In fact, there is every probability that the state of Santa Catharina will now throw in its lot with the Rio Grande rebels, anyway, and join forces with them against the president. Affairs are reported to be in a very un- settled and unsatisfactory state in Santos also. ‘The feeling here is that little short of a general and prolonged revolution faces President Peixoto, -_ verd ae eae vg by the suspension of telegra communt- cations of all kinds with Rio Janeiro, be- cause in former troubles of a similar neture the restriction placed on cable dispatches by Brazil has been confined to messages in cipher. The fact that the present embargo applies to the capital only is taken to mean that the trouble is still wholly confined to the vicinity of Rio. Well-informed Brazilians in Valparaiso, however, who are friendly to Pelxoto's gov- ernment, declare themselves perfectiy con- fident of his ability to bring the naval re- volters to terms, though even they admit he will hardly be able to prevent a bom- bardment of Rio Janeiro by the men-of-war. ee GUESTS FROM FRANCE.
