England Proposes an International Police

Washington, Feb, 19.
THE aonate comm. tten on printing
was instructed under a resolu
tion offered by Mr. Hale, Main.',
to investigate all the fac:s and
circumstances connect').! with the Na
tional Lithographic company of Wash
ington for th publication of the
Patent Office (iiZ)tte. The invests
tigation arises out of a long and
circumstantial QewttMpet statement
charging Mr. Jotiah Quincy, of Main",
let assistunt secretary of state, with
having used his official and personal
iurluouce to have the contract taken
from a companv which ha I It for many
years, and had executed Ir, satisfacto
rily, and given it to a c ompiny which
had had no previous existence, and no
facilities for executing the contract,
and in which he had a large personal
interest.
After som further morning business
Mr Daniel (Vn.) addreesed the senate
in defense of President Cleveland's ac
tion in regard to Hawaii, stigmatizing
Minister Stevens' conduct as "the pre
sumptuous, vicious freak of an eccen
tric minister."
TUE NOMINATION OF SENATOR WHITE.
About half-past 2 o'clock the presid
ing officer asked Mr Daniel to suspend
his speech for a moment, so that the
senate might receive a message from
the president of the United States.
Tho message was thereupon delivered
by Mr. Pruden, one of the president
aecreteries, in the shape of a large of
ficial envelope, Wnen this was
opened it was found to contain the
nomination of Senator White, of
Louisiana, as associate justice of the
United States. The seuators evinced
the keenest interest in it. They gath
ered together in small groups all over
the chamber and commended, rather
than discussed, the nomination. From
that timo on thre was no interest
manifested in Mr Daniels' speech, and
at 3 p.m. he yielded to a motion of Mr.
Cnffrey (La. ) to proceed to executive
business, which the senate did imme
diately. The nomination was iiuim -
diately confirmed.
The doore were opened again at 4 30,
when the communication from the
president sending all despatches and
reports received from Hawaii since
those last sent, was read. The motion
to print was laid over at the ripi-st of
Mr. Hon r, Massaehusetts. At .85 the
senate adjourned.
BLAND'S EFFORTS ARE STILL FRUITLESS.
Another day was spent by the honse
in a fruitless endeavor to secure a
quorum that would vote in favor of
taking up Mr. Bland's bill to coin the
seigniorage of the treasury bullion. In
the eourse of the afternoon a call for a
caucus was circulated and signed, and
at 4 o'clock upon the motion ot Mr.
Bland, the house adjourned, in order
to give the Democratic mmhers an
opportunity to consult upon the situa
tion and to detvrmine if possible upon
a policy to be pursued by the majority
of the house.

were represented by three delegates
from each mill. Tho meeting was
in session until o clock this
evening when it wns finally decided
that no work be done for less taan $1.7j

When the question wns put in the
form of accepting less than the scale
rate, or remaining in th organization,
the men decided they would stand by
their association at all hazards and not
work for wages under the amalga
mated scale.
The mills in this district will now

NO RAY Or HOPE REMAINS.
t Will Probably Be Many Days Before

Be Found.
Wii.kes-Bauuk, Pa, Feb. 19 To
enter the town of Plymouth today one
would never dream that a catastrophe
had ever occurred there, and but few
curiosity seekers ware seen at the Gay
lord mine. From all that can be
learned there is not a ray of hope of
securing the men nlive, and the truth
of it is that it will be many days yet
before they are found. The reports
given out by many of the mine officials
are misleading and cannot be relied
upon. The news that comes from the
rescuers below has been in meager
quantities all day long.
The work of the rescuing parties is
progressing slowly, and it is groundless
to say that they have made any great
headway since yesterday. The mine
is in such n bad condition that the men

Rio Janeiro. Feb. 19 The dyna

bor at an early hour last night. As
she passed out she exchunged signuls
with forts Santa Cruz and San Joao at
the entrance of the bay. Before she
reached these forts she was compelled
to pass Fort Villogaignon, which is
held by insurgents The gunners at
this fort tired two shots at the cruiser,
but their aim was bad and they did not
succeed in hitting her.
The Nichteroy had on board 1100 reg

destination is Santos. Strong hopes
ar entertained of an early and decisive
