Helle'8 Aeents to Vile a Protest
New York, Nt. 24 Edmund Querin
who savi be is a Montreal barrister, and
Francis E. Devlin, both uf whom claim
to be friends of Admiral Mcllo, but whose
actions indicate that tbey are rathe
agents; lo this country for tbe insurgents
are making efforts to aid Mello by hav
inc tbe denarture of the new Brazilian
cruiser America from this port etoppe
bv leeal measures. They made apolica'
tion resterdav to TJniud States District
Attorney Mitchell to asais' them in bold
in the shiu here, but he declined to do
so. They persisted that they had exam
ined tbe neutrality laws and that they
were violated by the fitting out Tf tuch
ships as the Ntctlitroy, America and Ve
ttroyer which has been going on in this
harbor for weeks, but their appeal for
assistance tvass'lll in vain. Iheyeav
that they addrrsssd the following dis
patch to President Cleveland yesterday:
"On behalf of Admiral Mello and the in
surgent party of the republic of Brszil.
we bee respectfully lo protest to you una
to the citizens ot this Irt-e country that,
in oiien violation of the neutrality laws
of this country and of the mtcrnatioiia!
laws of all civilized nations, men of-war
are being manned and armed to wage
war and intetfere with the desires ot ihe
citizens of a friendly system, and that an
open system of crimping has been oigan
ized in this city, and officers and grad
uates of Anna Doha are leaving this conn
try to wage war against tbe interest cf
the citizens of Brazil. We have been
here two days and find that tbe district
attorney, who represents yoor authority
although notified of these facts, will not
act to prevent this outrage."

Washington special says: '-Gresham
bus attempted to absolve himself from all
responsibility of the administration's Ha
waiian policy. In conveisation with a
personal friend be stated he bad nothing
to do wilh irammg tbe policy which was
inaugurated by 'paramount' Blount, and
bich is sought to be enlorced by Min
ister Willi'. The Secretary stated that
before be was invited to bis siat in the
ibinet Cleveland had formulated bis
Hawaiian policy; that he bad declared
tbe dethronement of the queen unjust
and his dfterminatinn to re-enthrone her;
that tbe president, witbout consulting the
secretary of state, determined upon the
appointment ot a special commissioner,
and selected Blount without tbe knnwl
edge of tbe secretary of state, and, in
fact, tbe latter officer scarcely knew
Blount at sight a; the time- The secret
ary et state said further the instructions
to Blount, also thote to Willis, were pre
pared at the White House. Tbe lobula
tion is made by bim that he scarcely
new at the time ol Blount's departure
for Honolulu what bis instruction were,
for they were tot only prepared at the
White House, but delivered by the band
of President Cleveland."
The Cabinet Beslsu-
Rome, Nov. 24 Tbe chamber of dep
uties was thronged lodav. Caveloth
caused a lively scene when tbe minutes
of yesterday's meeting were read. He
complained that tbe sitttng was closed
when tbe extreme left was about to sub.
mit a motion. The president commenced
an azplanation amid great excitement,
the extreme left meanwuile denouncing
Hue" ministers. Minister ' of Finance
Grimaldi warmly . defended himself
against the attacks of the extreme left,
declaring be was an honest man, as
equally solicitous of public morals as his
opponents. Piemier Oiolotte. . before
making a ministerial declaration, de
clared be wished to state in bisowa name
and toe names of his colleagues that
tbey wished to resume their teats in tbe
chamber of deputies, in order to have
full liberty of speech. Tbe remarks of
the premier caused much excitement in
the chamber, especially tbe extreme left.
When tbe noise bad somewhat subsided
Giolotti proceeded to announce the res
ignation of the cabinet, adding tbe king
had reserved his decision and that tbe
ministry would meantime remain in of
fice. After tbe dispatch of current busi
bess a motion to adjourn was made. Tbe
extreme left strongly denounced Giolotti,
who warmly retorted. Tbe sitting finally
closed amid uproar.

Tbe Bill Prepared.
Washington, Nov . 25 Chairman Wil
son, ot the ways and means committee,
said tbis evening:
The tariff schedules of the new bill,
acluuing the administration law, will be
given to the public at 11 o'clock Mcnday
next. The ln'ernal revenue features will
not be reported until later in the week,
but certainly before the meeting of con
gress, December 4."
Another member of the committee
1 said to a reporter this evening:
" toe iree uc will ue larger tuna luai
ot tbe Mills bill. It will include a good
many articles that the Mills committee
left in tbe dutiable list. It will be all
that the most ardent tariff reformer could
wish."
To the foregoing information may be
added hnotber statement that comes di
rectly from the committee room, which
is that it has been decided not to increase
the tax on whisky. How far this deci
sion may be chanced belore a final de
termination shall bn had regarding the
internal revenue schedules, cannot be
raid It is positively assorted the pres
ent intention of the committee is to let
whisky alone, and not to ucrease tbe tax
even as much as ten cents agalioc, which
has all along been regarded as the mini
mum ot increase to which tbe commod
ity might be subjected. So wide has
been the divergence of opinion regarding
whisky that many well informed persons
believe that tbe tax might be incresved
to $1 40 a gallon, while a tax ol $1 20 u
gallon was regarded as a cor.s-jrvative
estimate, Tbe alleged determination of
the committee not to increase the whisky
tax is said, to be due to tbe fact that tbe
whisky trust and tbe owners of whisky
in bond will be tbe only beneficiaries of
the increase, and that tbe government
would not be benefited in any sense.
Perhaps another reason why the commit
tee is not disposed to touch th present
tax grows out of tbe belief that the mem
hers do not think any inctease from tbis
source will be needed. Tbe committee
bas great confidence in tbe results of tbe
income tax.
