Doings of Congress. ; The Hawaiian question presented itself ' yesterday in tiio senate in two separate j and distinct phases. It came up first in j the shape of a resolution reported frnm ! ! the committee on foreign relations de claring it to be unwise anil inexpedient, under existing conditions, to consider at 1 ltis time affy project of annexation of the Hawaiian territory to the United States; that, the provisional government having been duly recognized, the highest international interests require that it j shall pursue its own line of policy I and that foreign intervention iu thepolitr i leal affairs of the island would be regarded ! as an act unfriendly to the government of , the United States. The resolution was 1 the unanimous report of the committee, ( \ccpi as L ) the first clause, from which Mr DoJph. rep., Ore., dissented, Mr. Tur- j pi.-,' den/.. J""'., who reported it, desired to i have it acted on by the senate immedi- j •i i; ly, but objection to that was interposed j .v Mr. Teller, rep., Colo., and Mr. Mills, j lit- n., Tex., and the resolution went over I till to-day. The second plume in which j t it* Hawaiian question was presented was ! a speech by Mr. Culiom, rep., 111., based | on Mr Frye'B resolution of non-interven- j tion, and severely criticising the adminis- i nation. The Peffer resolution, asserting '.hat the secretary of the treasury has no ! authority in law to issue and sell bonds ; as proposed in his recent notice, was re- j tevred to the committee on finance after a ! speech in its support by Mr. Stewart, rep., Nev. Mr. Wilson, rep., la., and Mr. Chandler, rep., N. H., made speeches in opposition to tlie house bill to repeal tlie federal election laws, and then the bill w;;s informally laid aside. The senate adjourned at 5 p. m. WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.—The sense of the I house in the matter of free sugar was | ■ ain made manifest when the amend- : :ni lit offered by Mr. Warner, dew., N. V., putting refined sugar on the free list was reaffirmed, while that of Mr. Robertson, j dem., La., putting a tix on sugar, was defeated, thus leaving all sugar free. The greater part of the day was given up to consideration of the free coal schedule, j but. the only result achieved was to show i the existence in. the democratic ranks of i a number of members with protectionist) proclivities. The iron ore schedule was . ; en taken up, but the house was unable to dispose of it in the time that remained before recess, so it went over until to-duy i Rids for Bonds WASHINGTON, Jan. 22. —Mr. Low, tho new designer, employed by the bureau of ; engraving and printing, treasury depart- j incut, arrived here Saturday, and began ! work. He will touch up the old plates which will be used for printing the new bond issue and will sketch a new pi ate for printing bonds of the denoniina- j tion of *:>, the plates of the old 5 percent, issue not being of so low a denomination. 1 The number of offers to buy bonds have been surprisingly large. Hitherto these i offers had come from tlie east, but as the j western mails come in Chicago and other ; western cities are heard from. Many tel- | rams are daily received announcing j hat formal offers by mail to buy bonds i ire on the way. Most of the offers come, j if course, from banks, but many come also from individuals. A pensioner in Ohio writes that he has accumulated 4®,000 and desires a safe in vestment. It is stated that the bonds will be ready for issue about February 5. No Invitation. WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.—Gossip in diplo- ' m a tic circles is busv over an incident of j the state dinner at the white house Wed- | Monday night. In the published list of iu viteil guests, as printed in the news papers, the name of Secretary Hastings, 1 who, in the absence of Minister Thurston, I is charge d'affaires of the Hawailn lega tion, was included. Mr. Hastings was not among the guests at the dinner, and, , it is now learned, that he received no in- j vitation. This omission, whether acci- i dental or intentional, excites comment, J because both the secretaries of legation of Korea and Columbia, who, in the absence i of their respective ministers, are, like ; Mr. Hustings, charges des affaires, were , conspicuous among the list of guests, j which, in fact, included the head of every legation now in Washington except the I Hawaiian legation. (suit (Tver Rental of Grazing Laud. WASHINGTON, Jan..24.—Tlie suit of Wil liam Walter Phelps against Sam Lazarus, involving the rental for grazing purposes of 170,000 acres of land in Texas, was ar gued yesterday in the supreme court of tho United States. The case conies up on appeal from the circuit court for the i northern district of Texas, which court : rendered a judgement against Mr. Laza- | rus of £8,417 for the rental of Mr. Phelps' j lands for two and a half years. Dr. Harris Will Hold Over ) WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.—Upon the recora- J mendntion of the secretary of the interior | the j.resident has determined to continue j Dr. WM. T. Harris as commissioner of education. Dr. Harris owes his retention to the fact that he is not in any sense a purtisan and that he has made an ex cellent officer. Her Port Dines tlie Cabinet. WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.—The secretary of 1 i the navy and Miss Herbert gave a cabinet I j dinner lust night ut which the national i flower, the golden rod, was happily iuter mingled with the magnolia, the flower of Alabama, in the table decorutions where the settings were in white and gold to | correspond. Discredited By Mr. Gresham. WASHINGTON, Jan. 24. —Neither Secre- . tary Gresham nor Secretary Herbert have j heard anything ffom Admiral Beuliam or any other person to confirm tho cable dis- | patch from Pernanibuco, Brazil, thut da Gunui had asked Admiral Benham to act i as arbitrator in the Brazilian wai. Sec- ' retury Greshara said: "I have heard uoth j ing about it and 1 don't believe it." still After Davenport. WASHINGTON, Jan. 24. -Mr. Dunphy, of New I ork, has introduced iu the house a j 1 resolution requesting the secretary of the I treasury anil attorney-general to inform ; the house whether John I.

A larr?o barrel of oil, about twelve pine railroad i ties, a tree and a wagon were placed oil the New Jersey ami New \ ork railroad | tracks near Oradeil ju<t before a passeu ! ger train was due. Engineer Ackennau saw the obstruction ami stopped Ills en gine within a few feet of it. The train was due in Jersey City at 9.15 p. m. The passengers were much frightened. De tectives were hunting for the would-be- ' wreckers all night. There is uo clue. The oil was stolen froin the Oradeil dept. The "Mince Pie" Case Settled. RoCHESTEB, N. Y., Jan. 24.—A special dispatch from Albany says that Judge Wallace, in the United States circuit court, has rendered a decisiou in the cele brated "mince pie" case, in which it was sought to restrain the manufacture by M. Doyle and company, of this city, of a preparation of mince meat known as the "Eagle" brand. The suit was a test cuse, many manufacturers of mince meat i throughout the country being involved. | The complaint was dismissed and injunc tions against the Rochester tirm and I others were ordered vacated. Brooklyn Taliernnclo's Finances. BROOKLYN, N. Y., Jan. 24.—Mr. Wood, : ex-treasurer of the Brooklyn tabernacle, • declnres that there is nothing in the alle j gatious against him. lie says he can uc -1 count for every dollar which came intc j his hands, and that he courts investign* tiou. Dr. Till mage said to-day: "1 don't believe the charges against Mr. Wood, lie has been a faithful, hard-working friend of the church for many years. I believe nothing evil against hiui." The Fight, j JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Jan. 24.—The eve of the day originally set for the big fight between America's champion heavy weight Janies J. Corbett and England's j champion Charlie Mitchell finds this staid old town in great excitement, a company J of militia called out for uctive service en camped within its corporate limits, and ' the belief general that martial law will he j declared to-morrow morning. AH to the fight, everything is still prob lemeticnl. The matter of the permanent : injunction is to ho decided to-day, but that does not seem to interest the sporting element near as much as the filial dispo sition of that 190,000 check. Keferee Kelly, with a crowd of newspaper men at his heels, presented the check at the bank for payment, but was told that until the con ditions 011 the back were fulfilled the money could not be drawn. Kelly then got the members of the club together and proceeded to do some very emphatic talk ing. The result was that the club mem bers went into secret conference and had what came nearer being a fight than any thing that has, or is likely to occur, in this neighborhood for some time. It is generally believed that the cheek will never be cashed until the club has sold enough tickets to recoup themselves for their contributions towards the purse. There is no denying that the appearance of the soldier boys lias greatly angered the majority of the citizens, who are anxious to have the contest pulled oil as at first planned. Major Lowell says he has received no further orders than "to re port to the sheriff, which he has done, lie says he will, of course, obey the orders of the goveruor, but be knows that nine } out of every ten of the militiamen would i like to witness the tight. I The matter of postponing the fight until , Saturday will be determined after the de cision 011 tbo injunction application is banded down. It is understood that both j Corbett and Mitchell have agreed to a i postponement, but it is more than likely | t iiat if the contest does not take place to morrow, it will not at all, at all events, ! not under the supervision of the Duval ! club. j On the whole, the situation today is of a comic opera nature, witn the outlook | for a fight, or a series of fights, between J the club members and others interested in the matter far brighter than are the chances of Corbett and Mitchell coming together here. Hawaiian Matter. Altiaxy, N. Y.. Jan. 34.— 500n after the state senate was called to order the j concurrent resolution passed by the as | f-embly congratulating the president and the people of Hawaii 011 the abandonment of the Hawaiian policy came up. Senator Saxton asked that it be adopted at once. Senator Cantor made a sarcastic speech proposing that a petition be drawn up asking congress not to take any action | without first having consulted this sen ate. Why should congress and the state j senate change places? Of course the Ha waiian question figured largely in the ! elections last fall and members of the senate were elected on that issue. He asked that the resolution be sent to the finance committee and that the commit tee be empowered to send for President Cleveland and for the queen and to cross rpiestion them. Senator Saxton said that the resolution was not at all unusual, as Mr. Cantor very well knew. He had no doubt that all the senators were fully in accord with the statement made in the resolution, democrats as well as republicans. He could see no reason why the resolution should not be udopted at once. Senator Cantor said that the resolution should not be passed without having been examined. There hail been no "abandon ment of the policy of the administration." 1 be question had merely been referred to j congress. After some further discussion the roso j lution was adopted by a viva voce vote. Slot Machines arc Gambling. Mapen, Mass., Jan. 34.—The "nickel | in-the-slot ease" was decided In the dis trict court. This is the case in which Freeman L. Wallace was arraigned upon j complaint of Mayor Franois liatchelder I of the city of Everett, charged with koep ! ing a gaming house. Mayor liatchelder 1 went into Wallace's store and dropped a nickel In the slot of a machine on the counter. The machine would sometimes give the customer a cigar, but more fre quently would produce a small card tell ing his fortune. Mayor liatchelder drew a card and had Wallace arrested forkeep iug a gambling house. The case is one of unusual interest as its final disclsion will affect all slot machines of this nature in the state. Judge Pettengill decided that under the statutes Wallace was guilty of maintaining a gaming house. His Ejro He moved. NEW HAVEN, Conn., Jan. 24. An opera tion was performed 011 Arthur S. Pea body, a Yale junior, who* was injured in the eye Saturday while playing polo at Lake Whitney. The young man was struck with a polo stick and the glans of hi eye-glaßnes knocked into one of his j eyes. The physician found that the eye would have to be removed, and it was token out Nuccrasfully. FOREIGN. The Brazilian War. Copyright, 1894, by the United Press. Rio JANEIRO, Jan. 19, via MONTE VIDEO, Jan. 24.—0n the night of Jan. 15 the in surgents recaptured Mocangue is'an 1, with three small cannon and 150 prison ers. The killed and wounded numbers fifty. The insurgents lost fourteen kille I. The insurgent warship Aquidaban brought to Rio bay 000 men, who now occupy Conceicao and Mocangue islands. ; An unsuccessful attempt to land at j Nictheroy was made by the insurgents on Jan. 16. Government troops tried to re- ; take Mocangue island on the night of ; Jan. 17, but failed. The friends of the insurgents are elated j over the recent succeHs-'s of their side, and , their contributions of gold are increasing, j Their mail carrier says that he has car- ; ried off from here a total of one million pounds sterling. The steamer Wordsworth carried to j Pernambucoan agent of the insurgents, : who is to try to ship on the government I cruiser Nictheroy and then make an ut- i tempt to destroy her. Admiral da Garna, in an interview with a representative of the United Press, evaded the question when he was asked why the Aquidaban and Republica had not met the Nictheroy at Peruanalmco. lie also refused to say why Admiral Mello i had not captured Para, Pernambuco and ' Hahia, all defenceless, instead of lying in I Paranagua bay. A government official said that Presi dent Peixoto and Admiral da Gaina had agreed to submit their differences to the United States for arbitration, but that certain well-paid officers were trying to prevent the agreement from being car ried out. President Peixoto expects that the war will be ended by Jan. 25. There is now a large fleet of American warships in the harbor. The object of their presence here, it is said, is to prevent European interference in the settlement of the matters in dispute between the government and the insurgents. William uml Bismarck. BERLIN, Jan. 24.—The announcement that Prince Bismarck has promised to visit Emperor William has cans -d a sen sation here. Bismarck's friends in the reichstag assert that the emperor was led to invite Bismarck to Berlin by the recent Mittnacht incident in the reichstag. The emperor's sense of uprightness, according to Bismarck's friends, was shocked by .the public declaration that Prussia had broken faith with Wortemberg. Ilerr vou Kardorff already sees Bismarck re turning Outside of the circle of enemies of Chancellor von Caprivi, however, a reconstruction of the cabinet, with Bismarck behind the scene, is held to be impossible. The emperor declared a week ago that he fully stood by the chancellor. Both the press and the public are en* grossed with the subject of Prince Bis marck's coming visit to Berlin. The North German Gazette says that the in vitation to Bismarck was mude entirely on the emperor's initiative. The National Gazette rejoices at the i approchemeut between the emperor and Bismarck, and that the nation generally will be pleased. The Berlin bourse was favorably af fected by the news of Bismarck's pro posed visit. lias Mello Been Deposed? WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.— The United Press cable from Rio, stating that Mello had been deposed from the command of the Brazilian insurgents and was on the warship Republica as a private citizen only, was shown to Minister Mendonco. He said he had received no advicss con cerning the report, but stated that he had no doubt it was true. He had received from Rio several days ago, as already stated in these despatches, news of the failure of the insurgent land forces in the ' south of Brazil to effect a junction with ' Mello on the coast, and it was quite pro li able that the disappointment over this failure had expended itself upon Mello, although, in the opinion of Sen or Meu donca, he was not to blame. w The land forces simply cotsld not reach the const.

C., Jan. 22.—Private ad vices received by the Empress of Japan give fuller particulars of the earthqu ik i disaster on the mysterious territory north of the Himalayas, where Shoolhnk, the Buddlstgod incarnate,reigns supreme over the hearts of the Thibetans. Eight hun dred and fifty houses belonging to native Thibetan soldiers, and occupied, by them and their families, were destroyed. Sev enty-four Lama priests and 150 Chinese I and Thibetans made up the roll of those whose bodies had been found and identi fied. There were also many scores of un identified-corpses, while the missing are thousands. Fighting for Hop Childron. PARIS, Jan. 19.—The hearing of the action of Princess Colonnn, step-daughter of John W. Mackay, the American mil lionaire, against her husband for a judi cial separation was again postponed. Maitre Dabuit, the advocate for the princess, was absent, ami his junior asked the court to grant a further adjournment. The solicitor for the princess handed to the court papers supplementary to her previous demnnd. She now asks, if the court admits Prince Colonna's plea that it lias no jurisdiction in the ease, for an order giving her provisional charge of the children, the order to be maintained until a definite judgment shall be given. Did Mrs. Mnybrick Attempt Suicide? WASHINGTON', Jan. 19.—Unofficial in formation has been received in connection with the imprisonment of Mrs. Muybrick, tlie American woman serving a life sen tence in England for the poisobing of her husband, in Liverpool. The report comes from government sources in Loudon, but ] appears to have been carefully concealed from publicity there. The story as re- . ceived here has it that Mrs. Muybrick was 'discovered bleeding profusely and that she claimed to have had a hemorrhage. j The prison officials, however, reported to the government that she had deliberately cut herself internally with glass. Prussia Hard Up. BKHI.IN, Jan. 19.—The Prussian budget was presented to the landtag by I)r. Miquel, the finance minister.
