e ESTABLISHED JUN E 17 187 AROUSED THEIR IRE Yesterday's Debate on the Federal Elections Bill in the Senate Animated. NEARLY ALL THE SESSION TAKEN UP BY IT Messrs Chandler, Frye, Hoar, Palmer, Bate and Gray Make Speeches, TRIBUTE TO THE LATE GEORGE W. CHILDS Eloguent Words Spoken of Him by the Blind | Chaplain in His Opening Prayer. HAWAII AGAIN COMES UP IN THE HOUSE Morse o Using Massachnsetts Called to Order for Unparlia Boutelle Rov Others Who Made Speech ntary Language— ws the Sitaation— WASHINGTON, Peb. 5.—The elections repeal bill occupled the e sion of the senate today. Senator concluded his speech, which has through the two or three weeks, followed by Senator Palmer, who argued that the law having entirely failed of its purpose, and being generally obnoxious, it #hould be repealed. In opening this morning Pr. Milburn, the blind chaplain, in his prayer made a touch- ing allusion to the life, services and death of George W. Childs, the Philadelphia philanthropist. “While the tolling pell tells of a passing of a noble soul from earth,” said le, “we bless Thee for the country and national life in which and through which a boy, born in poverty and obscurity, by indus- try, temperance and frugality lifted himself to afuence and power and shed beneficence upon every hand, yielding happincss by the grace and kindiiness of his nature, enriching all men’s lives with whom he came in con- tact. We render to Thee devout gratitude that there is a land which may produce under the blessing of Thy fatherly love, through Jesus Christ, such types and ele ments of character. We pray that the les- son of this man's life may be read with kindly and reverent hearts by the young men of the whole nation; and so nay the man’s death be richer in its effect than even the beneficence and sweetness of his life.”” Resolutions from the Massachusetts legis- lature protesting against the cotton schedule of the Wilson bill were laid before the sen- ate and read and referred. An animated controversy on the franchise qualifications of the state constitutions of Mississippi and Massachusetts took place between Senators Frye and Hoar on cne side and Scnators Gray and Bate on the other, and fs likely to be renewed tomoTow, when the final vote 1s to be tafftn :n the bill. Senator Chandler spoke on the Lill. “We turn now,” said he, “from the ques- tion of money to the superior question of man and his liberty. Banks and tariffs and stocks and trades, let them rise or let them fall. Freedom is a common heritage. Con- troversy over silver and bonds are inciden- tal; viligance to protect.the lives of citizens and the freedom, purity and honesty of the suffrs~c is vital. and. must be eternal if the republic is to live. “I wish to speak briefly in behalf of the colored people of the country who stand sadly in need of consideration and protec- tion."" Will the senator say,” interrupted Sen- ator Palmer of Illinois, “that the laws, which are now sought to be repealed, have secured 1o the colored people the rights which he claims for them?” INDULGED IN A LIVELY TILT. Altvely tilt took place between the two senators, after which Senator Chandler, con- tinuing his argument, reviewed the ante- war history of the country and then, allud- ing to the attempts made by the democratic party in recent years to secure the repeal of the federal elections law, said: “‘Where is the democratic party to stop, if tomorrow it repeals the elections law which was adopted to carry into effect the fifteenth amendment? Wil they not appeal the fif- teenth amendment, also? 1f they take away the suffrage from the black man, will not they also, little by littlen this action, conmie to reduce the black man substantially to a condition of slavery?” Continuing, Senator Chandler expressed regret at the defections on the republican side on this question, referring especially to Senator Stewart, who, he said, although the author of the fifteenth amendment and the leader in the movement to pass the stat- ute of May 18, 1570, the most valuable por- tions of which are to be repealed by the pending bill, now gives the repeal bill his support. Senator Palmer of Tilinole followed Senator Chandler and opened with a history of the Birth of the republican party and tracing its course to the war, which had resulted in the liberation and enfranchisement of the negroes, sald it was now contended by the republicans that the ncgroes should vote with them and for their policies “‘because they liberated them.” Upon the other side of the chamber it was contended the negroes in the south had not their proper representation in the governmental affairs. “Within a few days past,” he said, “we have been engaged in a discussion of the Hawalian question. We found the total pop- ulation there numbered 90,000. The whole American population is less than 3,000, and yet these 3,000 white men own more than 74 per cent of the entire property of the islands. The natives own but eighty one-hundredths of 1 per cent of the property of the islands The white population of those islands has overthrown the government and established another, and are about to proclaim, or have proclaimed, a constitution, with property qualifications, and yet a few days ago 1 heard one of the leaders of the republican party in this chamber declare that those men who have overthrown the native goy- ernment and native supremacy were Russels and Sidney This is the view of the party that now claims to be the champion and the preserver of the rights of the colored race.” FRYE'S REVIEW OF TAMMANY FRAUDS. Senator Frye of Maine reviewed the his- tory of the presidential election of 1868 a the Tammany frauds of New York Cit also quoted the constitution of the state of Mississippi and denounced its provisions ri Quiring the voter to be able to read the con- stitution or give a reasonable interpretation of a section of it when read to him. “Does not the senator know that Massa- chusetts has an_even more stringent provis- fon?" inquired Senator Gray. “No, it does not. “Yes, it does." Senator Bates of Tennessco read the fol- lowing provision from the constitution of Massachusetts Every male citizen of 21 years or upwards not being a pauper, wh is able to read the constitution in the Eng- lish language and write his name, shall be entitled to vote." After some further colloquy over the sub- fect between Senators Frye, Hoar and Gray the senate at 3 p. m. went into executive session and at 4:10 adjourned IN THE HOUSE. Its Time Yesterday Absorbed by the Debate Upon Hawail, WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.—The Hawailan de- bate absorbed the time of the house today a night session being held to permit speeches by those members who desired to talk, but who otherwise would have not had an op- portunity to do so on account of the limited time aliowed. The debate is attracting less 4itentioa than was anticipated. . This is federal itire. ses- Chandler extended and was perhaps partly due to the abandonment of the policy of restoration by the administra- tion, and partly to the fact that the long tarift debate has surfeited the house. The prinei- pal speeches today were made by Messrs, Johnson, Boutelle of Maine, Patterson of Tennessee, and Black of Illinois. Mr. Everett of Massachusatts livered the invocation at the ing of the session of the house this morning. Mr. McGann tried to obtain unanimous consent for the consideration of a resolution he offered to investigate the action of Judge Jenkins in the Northern Pacific case, whose employes he had en- jolned from striking, but objection w made. The resolution was as follows: Resolved, That the committee on judi- clary of the house be and is hereby directed to make such investigation into all the matters and things herein alleged, and to report to the house as to whether or not Hon. Judge Jenkins, judge of the United States circuit court for the seventh circuit, has therein abused the powers or process of said court, or oppressively exercised the same, or has used his offce as such judge to intimidate or restrain the employes of the Northern Pacific railroad, or the officers of labor organizations to which sald employes, or with which any of them were afiliated, in the exercise of their rights and privileges under the laws of the United States; and they shall find thaf the said judge has abused the process of sald court, as alleged , or oppressively exercised the powers of his office as judge of sald court to the infury of the employes of said railroads and others, then fo Teport whether such act or doings of said judge warrant the presentment of articles of im- peachment therefor; and to further report what action, if any, should be taken by con- gress to prevent a recurrence of the condi- tions now laid by said order and injunction upon railway employes on the said Northern Pacific road, those engaged upon other roads officers and members of labor organizations throughout the country, and all persons gen- erally. de- open- i CALLED HIM TO ORDER. The Hawailan debate was resumed by Mr. Morse, republican of Massachusetts, who had five minutes, Before he had proceeded for a minute, however, Mr. Outhwaite, democrat of Ohio. had called him to order for unpar- liamentary language. “To what language do you refer?” asked Mr. Morse, : “To the insulting, impudent mentary language just used,’” Outhwaite. Mr. Morse, according to the rule, took his seat and the words excepted to were read at the clerk’s desk as follows: “And yet, strange to tell, at the command of their master, the great Grover Cleveland, his cuckoos in the house and senate, staunch southern democrats, the loudest shouters for a white man's government, disregard all their anclent traditions about white men's supremacy and the white man’s govern- ment.” The speaker ruled that the language was unparliamentary. Before Mr. Morse could proceed, however, his time expired. Mr. Johnson, republican of Indiana, took the floor and made a strong speech arraign- ing the present administration in attempting to restore the deposed queen. He drew a vivid picture of the efforts of Minister Willis and evolved out of it a new comic opera to be called “Liliuokalani.” Mr. Patterson, democrat, of Tennessee fol- lowed. The sugar interests, he argucd, were behind the annexation movement. If the islands could have been annexed under the bounty clause of the McKinley law the sugar planters there would have received from the United States treasury $30,000,000. “The desire of the sugar planters to put their hands into the pockets of the American people lay at the bottom of the revolution in said the speaker, impressively. “The great haste manifested to secure annexa- tion,” he said, “is.because those in the con- spiracy knew that Grover Cleveland when inuugurated would never give his consent to the territorial extension of the United States to those islands, 2,000 miles beyond our western shore.” Messrs. Wheeler, democrat, of Alabama and Oates, democrat, of Alabama continued the debate. The former delivered a glow- ing eulogy of President Cleveland. The latter argued in behalf of the adoption of the McCreary resolution from a legal stand- point. nd unparlia- replied Mr. BOUTELLE'S HOT WORDS. Mr. Boutelle, republican, of Maine, followed Mr. Oates, after reviewing the contents of his resolution reprobating the policy of the administration, added: “What- ever may be the tardy expression of the house, I claim a favorable verdict on my indictment from the American people. Continuing, he followed events to the at- tempted promulgation by the ex-queen of a new constitution January 14, 1893. That act denominated the political suicide of the Hawailan monarchy. “The honor of the American name,” said Mr. Boutelle, “is being dragged in the dust by Grover Clev:land, W. Q. Gresham, James H. Blount and Minister Willis. I have no words to express my contempt for the policy of treachery, duplicity and false pretense. You on the other side cannot condone this outrage; you cannot make this heroic.” (Applause.) Proceeding, he characterized Mr. Gresham as a “disappointed and apostate secretary of state who, in conjunction with the president, sought not only to uproot and overturn an American government, but to degrade the American navy by putting it under the con- trol of a Georgia politician in order to get some one who would haul down the American flag.” (Applause.) He concluded with a glowing eulogy of the American flag, reciting a few verses, a sort of an apostrophe to the stars and stripe written by a native of Hawail. He was liberally applauded when he took his seat. Mr. Black of Illinois, ex-pension agent, de- clared for a policy of non-intervention. Mr. Van Voorhis of New York, a member of the foreign affairs committee, declared in favor of annexation. Mr. Grifin of Michigan closed the debate for the afternoon with an argument in sup- port of the McCreary resolution. At 5:15 the house 100K @ recess g'clock. Not more than a dozen members attended the evening session. Mr. Hall of Minne- sota spoke in support of the administration and charged that the revolution was the re- sult of a conspiracy, made possible by the covert ald of Minister Stevens and the presence of the United States troops. As the fact grew clear, publ ntiment will place in every hounest hand a whip with which to scourge J. L. Stevens through the land. Mr. Stallings of Mississippi took practi- cally the same stand, while Mr. Post of Illi- nois contended that the attempt of the ad- minjstration to restore a debauched and dis- carded queen could not be condoned or wiped out by the passage of a partisan reso- lution. Mr. Lacey of lowa and Mr. Stock- dale of Mississippi were the last speakers. At 10:30 p. m. the house adjourned. who until § NEBRASKA WAS SLIGHTE Quite & List of Nominath ~e by the Pry WASHINGTON, Feb. § today. sent the following non senate Postmasters—Theodore vada, la.; 1.

GOES TO HIS DEATH WITH A BOLD FRONT He Cried “Vive L' Anarchic” and «Death to Society” on the Scaffold of the Guillo= tine—~The Crowds that Saw Him Die. PARIS, Feb. 5.—August E. Valllant. the anarchist who on December 9 last threw a bomb into the Chamber of Deputies, was executed at about 7:30 o'clock this morning. His last words weret “Death to society! Long live anarch The execution of Vafllant was a declded surprise to the people of this city who bave for a week past been haunting the neigh- borhood of the Place de la Roquette in an- ticipation of witnessing Vaillant's execution. As late as Saturday afternoon it was re- ported that Premier Casimir-Perier and M. Dupuy, president of the Chamber of Depu- ties, favored a commutation of the anarch- ist's sentence, and it was said'that even if be was executed at all he would not be decapi- tated until the middle of the week. But late last evening it became known throughout Paris, in some mysterious man- ner, that Vaillant was to be executed, and people soon afterward began gathering about the neighborhood of the famous prison of la Roquette, and at § o'clock this morning, in spite of the fact that it was raining, quite a large crowd had gathered about the prison, and were watching the workmen erect the barricades across all the streets leading to the square from which the people were soon afterward driven by the police. The night was pitch dark when the work of erecting the guillotine was commenced. The lower classes sent representatives who appeared to be in sympathy with the man about to be executed, and were loud in their blasphemies and threats of what would happen in the mear future if the present condition of affairs continued. Shortly after 3 o'clock a detachment of the Garde Republicane arrived upon the spot and the center of the Place de la’ Roquette was cleared. Later a squadron of mounted Gardes Republicane arrived on the spot. The arrival of the military caused the crowds to increase and there was a rush of men and women up the Rue la Roquette, which caused the police to make a determined counter movement, Sweeping the crowds backward until order was com- pletely restored. By this time fully 2,000 policemen of various descriptions and Gardes Repub- licane were upon the spot, and everything was ready for the arrival of the guillotine. This familiar death machine arrived in two large vans at abont 2:30 a. m., accompanied by Monsieur de Paris (M. Diebler), the public executioner, dressed in a frock coal and a high hat. M. Dicbler superintended every litdle detail of the work of his as- sistants, who, pler by pler, and in deep silence, only broken by the sounds of the heavy mallets which they used, slowly erected the platform so familiar to the general public. When the guillotine was standing, com- plete and ready for its deadly work on the well marked spot in the center of the place, the executioner, lantern in hand, carefully examined every part of the machine, in- cluding the wicker basket nearly full of saw- dust, which was to receive the head of the anarchist. FEARED ANOTHER BOMB. While the work of the execution was in progress M. Diebler informed the police of- ficers in charge of the place that there seemed to be less space than usual in the square, but the officers informed the execu- tioner that the crowd was kept at the usual distance, to which M. Diebler replied: “Well, never mind, a bomb might be thrown from the barriers.”” The police, however, after consultation, determined to take the executioner’s hint and the barriers at the Qifferent streets and about the various por- tions of the square were ordered to be moved backwards. While this work was in progress the re- port reached the group of newspaper men who had assembled to witness the execution that President Carnot had recently received several threatening letters and that the police were taking extraordinary precautions 0 prevent the possibillity of a bomb out- rage. M. Diebler's son-in-law and asistant, dur- ing the early morning was kind enough to fmpart a plece of mews to the newspaper representatives who had mustered in force at a neighboring cafe, where they clinked glasses with the executioner's assistant while waiting for dawn. M. Diebler's as- sistant said that the executioner no longer holds both ears of the condemned man, as bas been done until recently, when the head of the criminal has been passed through the neck-hold below the knife preparatory to the falling of that trenchant blade. When asked the reason for this change in the method of execution, M. Diebler's as- sistant said that it was because the fingers of the public executioner had been badly bitten by Tropmann at the time of the exe- cution of the assassin, who objected to hay- ing his ears held in the manner deseribed. - “M. Diebler,” the newspaper men's in- formant added, “now leaves the job of hold- ing the ears to one of his assistants. We don’t believe Vaillant will bite, however.” The police arrangements were admirable, and long before the hour set for the execu- tion complete order prevalled everywhere and the chief of the municipal police came toward the prison with his lieutenants. By this time the rain had stopped and every point of vantage about the Place de la Ro- queite had been occupied. The judicial authorities arrived at the prison at 6:15 a. m., and entering the cell occupied by Vaillant they waked him and in- formed him that his last hour had arrived. Vaillant did not seem to be in the least as- tonished or much alarmed. He turned deadly pale, it is true, but he began dressing with all the haste which would be expected and remarked to one of the prison attend- ants: “You see I was right in saying that my sentence would not be commuted.” It was evident, though, from the manner in which he saldl this that he was considerably disappointed and that he had built up strong hopes of élemency upon the part of the pres- ident of the French government. VAILLANT'S VALOR. While Valllant was dressing, one of the officers, noticing the anarchist's hands trembling slightly as he put on his clothes, said: “Have courage, Vaillant.” = To this Vaillant smiled in a sickly manner, and, throwing his bhead up, replied Never fear, 1 will know how to die.’ At this point of the toilet one of the prison officials offered Vaillant a large glass of some strong cordial intended to brace up the man’s nerves, but Vaillant gently put it on one side, saying “I have no need of strength and despise a man who ds brandy to nerve him to meet his fate." This calm gnd courageous bearing of the anarchist won him the sympathy of every- body present, and a veteran of the guard who was present said in an undertone: That is not artificlal courage.” Later one of the attendants offered to as- sist Vaillant in dressing for his march to the guillotine, but the doomed man gently but firmly refused, and said: “I will not delay you any longer than I can Lelp.’ Vaillent, in reply to a uesiiun as to whether he had any statement io make, be- gan making a strong profession of anarchy defending it in burning words, atil it was gently suggested to him that such remarks were useless and out of place. Contrary to expectailons, Vaillant did not speak of his mistress, Madame Marchel, or of daughter, Sidoni, whose alleged let- ter asking for a commutation of her father's sente Las been much dlscussed. | Twice duriug the preparations for death | Vaillant refused to see the prison chaplain saying upon these oceasiors: "I do not be- | lieve in religion; ft i all a sham. Let thoze | who profess religion give some evidence of it by extending a helping hand to the deserv- ing poor. This will do more to crush an- | archy than all the armfes of the world."” At exactly 7:20 a. m. the veteran officer in command of the Guarde Repulicane gave the order to “Draw swords.” Very soon after the black gates of the prison were swung open and Vallant appearcd, head erect and deflant, between M. Dicbler and his assistants, The crowd was not slow to notice that no chaplain accompanied the condemned man, and it was said in a loud tone from several among those gathered to witness the execution: ‘‘He dies a true an- archis Here and there, as Vaillant were heard faint cries of When Vaillant neared the guillotine he glanced upward at the gleaming Knife sus- pended between the two uprights, the blade shining out clear and distinct, owing to the rays of the many lanterns around the scaf- foid and then he shouted: “Vive la an- archle.” A moment later, as he was ascending the steps lerding to the platform of the guillo- tine, the desperate anarchist shouted: ‘A mort les bourgeoise!” (“Death to the bour- geolse!") As he uttered this cry Vaillant reached the foot of the sliding plank which leads the body of the condemued when strapped onto appeared, “Vive la anarchie.” it beneath the knife. After one quick push he cried: “Death to society.” HURRIED TO DEATH. Vaillant had hardly uttered these words when he was seized by M. Diebler's assis- tants and thrown upon the sliding plank, or bascuto, to which he was strapped with re- markable rapidity, and in less time than it takes to write It ‘his body was thrust through the lunette or hole in the end of the scaffold upon which a half circle or locking piece falls after the head is through, a spring was touched and the shining knife above the anarchist's neck sped downward with a swift movement. There was a terri- ble spurt of blood and the head of Vaillant, separated from Its trunk, fell into the basket of sawdust, and all was over. With the greatest rapidity the head and body of the anarchist were gathered up, placed in separate baskets, and were es- corted away from the scene of the execation at a gallop. 1f the body of the anarchist is unclaimed it will go to the academy of medicine; but, it is understood that representatives of som of the socialist soefeties have announced thelr intention of asking for permission to bury the remains of the executed man. As the body was being carried away the crowds made a tremendous rush for the guillotine, but were restrained by the troops and the police were compelled to remain in place until the guillotine had been removed. Thanks to the efforts of the authoriti there was no disorder at the execution, bu this was probably due to the large number of police and soldiers. One of the features of the cxecution was the fact that among.the crowd gathered to witness it was a large number of people, male and female, in masquerade dress who had come from the bafls held last night. Among the women were some of the lowest of the demi-monde, who behaved in the most outrageously indecent manner. August Vaillant was born at Mezicres, de- partment of Ardenmes, on December 29, 1861. He was an fllegitimate son and_led a roving life. At ome time he lived In Buenos Ayres and at- awother in the United States, where he passed three months teach- ing school.. He was married in the United States, and by this marriage had a little girl, whose name is Siftoai. He returned to Paris in 1887, and entered into intimate re- lations with, another woman named Merchal, and went t0 live Iy Ue Montmatre distriel, where in the rare futervals during which he worked he secured employment in a fancy leather manufactory @s a workman on pocket Hooks. An industrious 1ife, however, had very lit- tle attraction for him, and he preferred to be a vagabond and thief. - No less than five times was he convicted of petty crimes. Up to 1886 he called himself a socialist revolu- tionist, but socialism was too mild to suit his views, so he abandoned it to become an avowed anarchist. He became active as a preacher of anarchist propaganda while still retaining his membershin in one ofs the socialist groups. His mother lives at St. Quentin, near Paris, with an aged anarchist. For a short time previous to his commision of the crime for which he was executed he acted as an editor of an anarchist periodical. In August Vaillant went to live with his mistress on'the second floor of No. 117 La Rue Refiner. The remt money, 6 francs weekly, was paid witl regularity, and he impresed his landlord as a sober and indus- trious workman. At this time Vaillant was employed in the Petington Morocco works. Two weeks béfore the throwing of the bomb Vaillant asked his landlord to be allowed to pay the rent every month, saying be had secured employment as a foreman in Paris at a factory where the hands were only paid by the month. Shortly after this his habits, which had been quite regular, became changed and he frequently was out all night. His mistress told the police he was 50 good, intelligent and kindhearted a man she could not at first believe he com- mitted the crime. CAUSED BY CRUELTY. Reasons for the Outbreakjfof the Natives in the Cameroons Country. BERLIN, Feb. §.—Letters received here from German settlers in the Cameroons colony confirm the statement made in these dispatches to the effect that the outbreaks in the Cameroons were caused by the action of the German governor in flogging the wives of the native soldiers. The Da- homeyans then went to the government house at Beryltown, shot the judge, killing him in mistake for the governor, seized the government buildings and drove out the German settlers, who fled to the gunboats ters confirming thé report of the governor's cabled, also seized 1500%magazine rifles and 500,000 rounds of ammumition. The le ters confirming the report of the governor's cruelty are published here today and the newspapers express indignation against Gov- ernor Leyst and demand his punishment for ordering the flogging. French Radicals Making Capital. LONDON, Feb. 5—A Parls dispatch to the Times says the rddicals are beginning to make capital out of the Gervais affair. Their policy is the same as that of the Jac- obins. - It was undery the pressure of the radicals and their’ sqelalist revolutionary friends that for the layt fifteen years meas- ures were taken agang the clergy and that civilians were appothted:as ministers of war and marine. The/ radicals now aim at an electoral magist agd the attack on the naval admiral is & part of the same scheme. The manifest object of the radicals is to overthrow the cabinet. Had the demands of the agitators, of whom Lockroy is the mouthpiece, been granted, Lockroy or Bis- son could not have exécated naval reforms, as their speeches have demonstrated thelr incompetency. It 18 mot Burprising, ther fore, that Admiral Gervais was so much irritated upon selng Lekroy trying to dis- credit the navy management at the risk of discouraging the brave satlors and of spoiling the prestige of the navy. The restless am- bition of the radicals has led them, how- ever, to the forming of a compact moderate majority and it may be hoped that this ma jority will suppart the present reform cabinet against disturbers of public order. Jackson's Aretie Notlon. HULL, Feb. 5.—The explorer, Jackson has arrived lere after a short exploration of Waigatz island In the Arctie ocean, $00 miles north of Trondbje. He says he intends to proceed to Frans Josefland in July and push northward, leaving food depots at convenlent distances for his retreat. He is of the opin- ion that proceeding from Franz Josefland he will encounter a huge continent. He ex- pects to be absent four years.

During Saturday night and Sunday the in- surgents steamed their ships into positions of advantage, preparatory to making a thor- ough and decisive attack upon the govern- ment positions, at Nictheroy especially. It is understood that this is a fin. and desperate effort upon the part of the insur- gents and that on its success everything depends so far as the revolution is con cerned. It Is expected that early on Monday morn- the insurgent commander will have ded in landing a force on shore, which, covered by the fire of the rebel vessels, will advance on the government position and the final batle is expected to be fought. The foreign war ships are closely watching the operations and there has been no fur ther interference of any sort up to the time this dispatch is filed. The general opinion ashore seems to that the insurgents will be defeated and that the collapse of the rebeilion in this part of thic country at least will immediately follow. i Later information concerning the intended landing of the insurgents in the neighbor- hood of Nictheroy shows that it was the in- tention of Admiral da Gama to send his forces ashore on Sunday morning, and that from the advices which he had received from the insurgent agents ashore the admiral led to believe that several regiments of the national guard would join issue with the in- surgent forces the moment the latter Janded. It is added, however, that the plot leaked out and the insurgents were compelled to postpone their contemplated attack until today, but up to the hour this dispatch is filed, the insurgents have not made any at- tack upon Nictheroy, and unless some de- cided change takes place soon In the atti- tude of the national guard at Nictheroy, it is probable the guardsmen will remain loyal to President Peixoto and that the insurgents will have to still further postpone their de- cisive attempt to capture the city. The supporters of the government say Ad- miral da Gama's announced intention of making an attack in force vesterday or to- day upon Nictheroy is only another “bluff’ upon the part of the rebel commander, who is said to lack the energy and ability ueces- sary to successfully carry out such a plan. in| Thauks of Congress Might Have the Effect of Postponing His Retirement. WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.—Admiral Ben- ham’s future may be much affected by the recent incident in Rio barbor and by the resolution introduced by Representative Money, complimenting the admiral. The thanks of congress is an honor very highly prised in miiltary and naval eircles, and it carries with it not only dignity and honor, but also several important official advan- tages. One of these is that the time of an officer’s retirement is put off. In the case of Admiral Benham, he will be retired in April next, but should congress give him a resolution of thanks his period of active service would be extended ten years further. This would be the most signal dignity at the present time, as there are few in the naval service who enjoy the honor. It would also carry the pay of an officer on the active list, which is considerably above the pay of the retired rank. Mr. Money has been alive to the fact that these honors attached to a vote of thanks and he has decided to so frame his resolu- tion as not to carry these legal privileges. Mr. Money is a strong admirer of Admiral Benham's promptness and Americanism, but he thinks the Rio incident had not been notable enough to extend the admiral's services ten years or give him the privi- leges of the floors of congress.

Mackay, sailed for America on Wednesday. This news set at rest a rumor that she and her husband had become reconciled on his giving a satisfac- tory pledge of good conduct in the future. After the French court allowed the prince the right to see his children twice a week, the princess found her situation intolerable. Besides, from the elaborate recantations by the French press of its earliest severi- ties, her friends augured unfavorable action by the French court. Hence it was deter- mined that she should remove from its ca- pricious jurisdiction. The princess, with her children, left the Hotel Brighton on Tuesday evening as if for a moonlight promenade, Mrs. Mackay re- maining behind to lull suspicion. The spies of the prince and the domestics waited up until 3 o'clock in the morning, and then in- formed the hotel proprietor, who in turn in- formed Mrs. Mackay of what she already knew. When the prince called on Wednesday to see his children he was simply informed that they were out with their mother, and it was not until his wife had time to board the steamer that he was informed that she and her children were beyond the jurisdiction of the French court. All inquirers were pur- posely mislead in order to give the princess time to escape. Her lawyers now propose to continue the fight in America. It is reported the prince sailed for New York on Saturday. Mrs. Mackay quitted the Hotel Brighton on Thursday, but her destination is known only to her counsel. - pt Exchange Coupons.
