Desire of § WASHINGTON, March ings in the senate today tremely uninteresting character. the intervention of any ‘morning busin except the presentation of a few petitions and the introduction of some unimportant Dills, the senate took up the consideration of the seigniorage bill Senators Stewart and Lindsay spoke in favor and Mr. Dolph spoke in opposition to it, holding that its passage would destroy the existing cquality between gold and silver, and the two new senators, McLaurin of Missigsippl and Mr. Blanchard of Louisiana, received their committee appointments. Mr. Stewart of Nevada took the floor in support of the Bland bill. He was unwilling to have the bill amended, for he believed that to return it to the house would be fatal to it. Mr. Stewart delivered a silver speech along the line of his well known theories. At the conclusion of Mr. Stewart's remarks Mr. Palmer of Illinols announced that the genator from Kentucky (Mr. Lindsay) wished to speak on the subject. As Mr. Lindsay was ahsent the senate waited while a page was dispatched to the committee room to summon him. Senator Lindsay began his speech with the assurance that if he believed that any of the unfortunate recults so freely predicted by the previous speakers would follow the pa age of the bill he would be slow in giving it his support. His brief experience in the genate, however, had convineed him that prophecies, ially in financial questions, were to be treated with some doubt. He believed that if the enactment of this bill into law would bring the country to a single gilver standard or would stand In the way of an international agreement he would hes tate to give it his vote. According to h understanding, however, it simply provided for the carrying out of the unredeemed sec tions of the law of 1880, It went no further than that the coinage provisions of the act of 1890 should be carried out in the next fiv years. He denjed the assertion made by Senator Sherman and others that the bill permitted the fssue of paper money without security, saying that the bill did not permit such an Interpretation put on it by those senators who looked for the introduction into our currency of merely flat money after the passage of this bill. When Senator Lindsay took his seat, See ators Dolph and Mills jumped to their feet, the latter to ask for an executive sessi Mr. Dolph, however, was recognized, and as he was primed for a speech and had been waiting since yesterday for an opening, he declined to yield for a motion to go into executive session. Mr. Dolph thought that urging the passage of the bill were 6 under false interprotations. They were principally those members of the senate who favored the free colnage of silver. The bill was a reckless proposition to increase colnage of standard silver dollars or of silver cortificates without any adequate provision for thelr redemption or to maintain their equality with gold. The bill was in direct conflict with the declaration of congress made a few months ago, when the purchasing clause of the Sherman law was repealed, hiat it was the policy of the government to maintain the parity of gold and silver. He then gave an analytic statement of the bill, and showed its dangers and imperfections An amusing Interruption occurred to Mr. Dolph's spe Mr. Dolph had referred to a reply © ¢ a Washington newspaper woman in response to a fallaclons work which was sald, as a political bible by the populist party. Mr. Dolph announced that he would not read the reply, but would have it printed in the record. This brought Mr. Harris to his feet an objection and a sharp debate fol Mr. Harris said that nothing could be printe in the record which had not been uttered on the floor except by unanimous consent, and ho did not propose to allow any book to be published in the Record. Mr. Dolph mildly remarked that it was not a book, but a newspaper clipping, and be- Ing pressed again and again for® the amount of space it would take in the Record, refused to_commit_himself, but said he would read o desired. e ) lunl like to put the senator to that trouble,” replied Mr. Harrls, sarcasticall “nor to delay (e senate at this hour, hut will not consent to any senator dovetailing a book to the Record.” 1 haye left out much of the article as it 1s,” said Mr. Dolph “You should have left it all out,” retorted Harris as he walked out of the chamber Dolph continued his speech a few moments longer and just announced that he would print in the Record an extract from a pamphlet entitled “Cheap Mong Just then Mr. Harris came in again “Does the senator intend to print a whole lMbrary in the Rtecord? If he does I want him to read it here, 50 we may know what it enator Allen of Nebraskn, of whom men- tion had been made in connection with the “populist Bible,” just referred to, also in- terjected an objection to (he publication of the extracts, unless they were read. A brief d fon took place as to whether the reading should take place tonight or tomorrow, and it was finally agreed to let it take place immediately Mr. Dolph then started to read in a low tone, when Mr. Hoar was heard to remark that perhaps the senator from Tenn (Mr. Harris) would like to read the papers and thus relieve the senator fram Oregon. raised a laugh, which was increased Mr. Harris replied, with marked em- 1 hardly think I will, but I refer from Oregon to the senator from who is an excellent reader.” Mr. Dolph stood in the aisle holding the book in his hand during this exchange of pleasantries, and when the discussion was over began to read agalu In the same low monotonous volee.

Only three amend- ments of any importance were adopted. The only amendment of imporiance was made by Mr. Morse of Massachusetts, to cut off the appropriation for the Interstate Commerce commission. The manner which that portion of the appropriation for coun- el fees, $184,000, was worded, led to a rather spirited debate, in which Mr. Can- non of Ilinols rather broadly intimated that this appropriation had been placed under the dircction of the commission, in- stead of the Department of Justice, as here- tofore, because of the criticism against Attorney General Olney from quarters, that he was in sympathy The Morse amendment rather bitter attack from ginia, who had read an anony charging Mr. M with opposing the law from purely selfish reasons in the inte of the stove polish concern of which he the president When the sense of the house was tested upon the Morse proposition it was defeated by Mr. Haines of New York, who made the point of 1o quorum agains Just before adjournment presented, as a privileged rt committee on naval affair ' calling for information from the secretary of the navy regarding the violation of the armor plate contracts by ( Phinps & Co., which had gone to mmittee in the early part of the ses on Mr. Stern's objection The latter exj sonal knowledge regarding the matter with by the resolution, but he had jected in the absence of Mr. Dalzell, until he e y » with Pittsburg.

Section of the Senate Tariff Bill that Will Be Fought Hard WASHINGTON, March 13.—The indica- tions point to a spirited debate in the senate over the clause in the senate tariff bill in- serted by the finance committee, providing for the abrogation of the Hawailan recip- rocity treaty of 1875, and the subject is already be ining to attract attention on both sides of the chambe: This treaty provides for a general exchange 5 of the two countries free of and includes sugar the principal Hawallan export to this country, the United States in turn being permitted to export ag- implements and other machinery ers of woolen and cotton tex- fabrics, as well as a great variety of other articles to Hawall without ent of duty. It also contains a provision that no other foreign government than this shall ac- quire title to any port or harbor in the islands. There are a number of senaturs on the democratic side who will ob- ject to the clause, and it is believed that the republican party in the senate will be most solid in its position. Already ob- jection heard, not only because the termination of the treaty would deprive this country of valuable prerogatives in the is- lands, but because also of the fact that the action contemplated would be a serious blow to the sugar plante; of the islands, whose business, it Is contended, 1s dependent absolutely upon maintaining free commerclal intercourse with the United States. The clause was Inserted as a concession to the sugar interests of this country, whose friends in the senate will exert their in- fluence to have it retained. During 1893 288,517,920 pounds of sugar and 67,321 gal- Tons of molasses were fmported from Hawaii. These importations at the lowest rates fixed by the senate bill, would, If the treaty should be abrogated, bring a revenue to the treasury amounting to $2,886,525.77. and manufactu CIGAR MANUFACTURERS ORGANIZE.

Colonel Breckinridg for st Accus WASHINGTON, March 13.—Such a gather- ing of lawyers as today filled the circuit court where the Pollard-Breckinridge trial seldom seen in Washing- the bar crowded the sentence Judge Bradley ing Kentuckians who had made a pugilistic assault upon Miss Pollard’s attorneys the night before. Within the recollection of the court officials there had been no instance of a resort to fisticuffs by praticioners before the local bar. Impressive silence foilowed the roll call of Jurors, the judge sceming to wait for ex planatiows from the lawyers. Tlen he spokc: “I rotice the papers have laid out a cour:e of procedure for me to folluw res ard- ing an oc i ence jist outeide tue court room after the court had adjourned yesterday evening, which the court did not see, and which the parties concerned In it here proba- bly regret as much as the court does. It is not a matter of which the court can take judicial notice. As it was past the hour for aljorcment when the plaintif’s counsel had finisucd spouking last night, and as [ noticed some evidences of excitement on the part of the defendant's counsel, I thought it best to adjourn the court, thinking that after a night of thought ov the connection in which certain words had bocn used the counsel might look upon them differently. Had the trouble referred to taken place court, it would have been the duty of the court to take judicial notice of it and he would have done so promptl THEY WERE NOT ARMED. Then after a brief pause Jud proceeded: “There is a matter which T ‘deem it my duty to speak of. The court has received information that some of the gentlemen representing the defendant have come into the court room armed. There is a law for the punishment of the offense of carrying concealed weapons, not as stringent as [ wish It was. This is a law-ablding com- munity and the courts are able to protect citizens and, as such conduct Is uncalled for, it is most reprehensive. If the court has information adequate he will see that prosecution is begun in the police court of the district.”” Hore Mr. Butterworth rose, stating that he had never carried a weapon and thought the counsel should be given an opportunity to enter disclaimers as he would regret the occurrence of such a breach of order as ch as the court. Mr. Shelby, Colonel Breckinridge's partner, said he never carried a weapon in his life. Mr. McKenney followed with a similar state- ment. Mr. Stoll declared that he had never entered the presence of a court armed, and then Mr. Thompson remarked: s 1 am the only one left I will enter a disclaimer also.” Mr. Carlisle rose to s: understood that the come from any of the plaintift’s counsel, to which Judge Bradley assented, remarking that it had been made to him by reputable parties. Judge Bradley excluded the depositions on the ground that they did not conform to the law that they must either be written by the deponent or by the notary before whom they were taken. They were written by a typewriter. An exception to the ruling was taken for the plaintiff. Another deposition, that of Mrs. Logan, taken before Notary Lowrey Jackson in Cin’ cinnati, was offered for the plaintiff and ob- jected to by the defendant. In the argu- ment following it developed that thfs testi- mony was concerning the birth of Miss Pol- lard’s first child. Judge Bradley decided that since than a day had been consumed in cros: amination of M defendant had been the deposition, the ception, Mrs. Mary Logan is a Cineinnati physician, as appeared from the deposition read by Mr. Carlisle. ~ She had, in 1884, treated a young #lrl about to be confined who gave the name of Monica Burgoyne, saying that her friends called_her “Mona,” and the witness said that Miss Pollard, who was then in the notary's office, bore some resemblance, although she had doubtless chonged. It was the young woman's first child and she had reported that her husband had died or there were family reasons for keeping the birth secret. At the suggestion of Dr. Logan Miss Pol- lard had gone for her confinement to the Catholic sisters on the Reading road, three or four miles from Cincinnati. There the physicians had made two or three calls, although the young woman was under the charge of the ph ans of the institution. Four or five months afterward, “Mrs Bur- goyne” had been taken to the house of Drs. Borry and Buchanan, where she passed un- der another name, which the witness could not remember: If Miss Pollard was the per- son the doctor could not identify her cer- tainly, saying She has, changed greatly if it is her. It has been several years since I W her. This dy's figure is thinner; her hair is different and she has changed in many ways. I am positive that the young woman wore spectacles. (Miss Pollard thin and does not wear glasses.) The cross-examination was read by Mr. Butterworth. The witness was certain that the young woman had not passed under the name of Louise Wilson. The reading of the deposition was very tedious, taking more than two hours, and served to empty the court of a majority of the spectators and was not concluded until after the noon re: NO LADIES IN COURT, During the morning there were no ladies in court, not oven Miss Pollard and her two friends appearing. Her attorneys have not decided whether the plaintiff will be placed upon the stand to testify, as she is in such a nervous state they fear she would not be able to stand the ordeal. he people who had deserted the court began to pour back at 2:30, when the plain tift's coungel varied the monotony by calling a witness. The door between the jury box and the judge opened to admit two sisters of some Catholle soclety, attir in the black bonnets and gowns of tlieir order. One of them seated herself beside Mr. Cariisle, while the other took the chair in the witness box, looking very pale and troubled at her un usual position. Sister Cecelin of the order of Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati was the name given. She said that in 1884 she had been sister in char the convent at Nor- wood, O., n miles from Cincinnati by rail and five miles by road. “Do you recall that in 1885 there was a person there by the name of Burgoyne?” asked Mr. Carli “I do not." ‘““Have you ex stitution lately “I have.” Objection to the question of the result of the examination was made. “Do you remember a female patient who ited by a female physician from Cin- is in progress was ton.

What is your best opinion on the tion? “That they are the same." “Do you remember that it was brought to sa ques- your attention that one of your patients was corresponding with some one through the Cineinnati Enquirer?” “She told me so.

Railroad fare to the sub- urbs has been abolished and the government is feeding the poor. Great crowds have cons gregated on the hills with the expectation of witnessing a battle between the two fleets. The insurgent warship Aquidaban is not in the harbor. - Admiral de Mello was false to tho emperor and to President Fonseca and Presi- dent Peixoto. He now proves false to Ad- miral da Gama. Where he and his vessel are now Is not kuown. Admiral da Gama remalns own vessel according to the Lcre. The the on board latest his advices report which circulated arrival of the government bay of Rio de Janeiro to the Admiral da Gama, the rebel con ander in these waters, contemplated surrendefing, turns out to be correct, and in all probability, the Brazilian rebellion so far as Rio de Janiero Ys concerned, will soon be at an end, DESERTID HIS FLAGSHIP, Admiral da Gama yesterday sought refuge on board the Pord arship Mindello, and has sent a message to Peixoto, offering to_capitulate on the following terms: The rebel admiral offers to surrender the forts in possession of the insurgents in the bay and turn over to the government all the ware ships in the bay now in the hands of the insurgents, surrendering the garrisons and crews to the government upon the conditions that the admiral and all of his officers be allowed to withdraw to a forelgn countr) under the protection of Portugal, and that > lives of the insurgent soldicrs and sullors be spared. 5 this soon after fleet off the effcet that suese / Qispatch s sent the reply of Peixoto not been made known, but it is thought that some kind of arrangoment will be arrived at, and that the war is over as far the insurgent fleet In these waters in cone cerned. The Aquidaban, Republica and Tiraden and Admiral de Mello, the leader of the re bellion, are still absent, and nothing seems to be known of their whercabouts, One re- port has it that Admiral de Mello some Lime ago saw the hopelessness of the insurgent position In Rio bay, and consequently took his two best ships southward in order to co- operate with the insurgent land forces in that quarter, scelng that the only chance for a successful end of the revolt was in a maich upon Rio by land, The government is of the opinfon that such a movement upon the part of the insurgents army will ghortly be met and defeated, and it 15 said that after the surrender of the fleot a number of vessels will be sent in pursuit of Admiral de Mello, while others will be immediately utilized in an attack upon Des= terro, the port and fsland in the south which is now the headquarters of the insurgents and the seat of the rovolutionary junta. In fact, it is reported Wiat the government has sounded the crews of the with the view of ascerta men can be counted upon in plated operations against De Mello, and that tho insurgent disgusted at the seeming de miral de Mello that a number of them will be found willing to man the government vessels, which will be sent south as soon as possible to push the government success while the Insurgents are disheartened by the loss of the larger portion of their fleet WERE READY TO BEGIN The forty-eight hours notice which Peixote gave on Sunday last preparatory to com mencing an energetic attack upon’ the rebels has expired, and unless some terms of s render are promptly arrived at, the insurs gent forts and flects will soon be exposed to such a tremendous fire that their surrender at discretion can be but a question of a very ghort time.
