Ol this country with lima i under the
resolution of Sscator Miirgan. The efforts
of the committee wefe directed chiefly to
securioif an eznlaoatiou frm Blount of
his yanous acts while lo Honolulu. Hi
told briefly of hi appoiatmeut by the
president as a special commissioner, and
said he toosidered the appointment with
in the bounds of vpropritty and prece
dent. He detailed his trip to the island
on tbe Rush and his landing in Honolulu
March 29. His reception by the people
on both sides ot the qnestion was passe'
over almost without mention, as was the
fact that both annexationists and royal
ists were ipparfntly anxious to mnkc his
a'liy as plt-nsant a possioie. toe ut-ci

Blount said Re lound the islands and
government entirely under me control
and Drotection of the Uoi td State
tioops. The American flag floated over
the povernmenl buildius. m which the
officers of the provisional fOTemmeiit
conducted tnelr business. Everywhere
was noticed the influence el this country
upon the people of the islands. It was
evident. B ount said, that it would be
difficult to secure an impartial stccount
or an opinion uninfluenced oy tne sur

was contioned. Consequently he deci

A New Paine of L w
Washington, Jan. 12. Constitutional
lawyers of the bouse have detected a
most interesting legal complication in
connection with the Hawaiian situation
which may result in bringing ia qaetion
the authority of Minister D ie to retire
Up to December 18, Cleve aod and tbe
executive branch of the government were
directing the course of Hawaiian affairs,
baton that day U cvcfland's" message was
sent to conere-s stating he wou d turn
over the subject to the . broader nothor.
ity of congress, and would thereafter co
operate in any ju-it solution which con
gies9 might propose. The president's
course io tummg the suhject over to cou
giess ws undoubted y communicated te
Miuis'er Willis at odc, with instructions
of nooaction. No steamer left th s coun
try lor Hawaii antii D.cember 19, so
that tDe president's conclusion to leave
the subject with .congress could not have
leached Minister Willis un'il D-cember
20. Under these circums ances there ii a
hiatus of eight days from-December 18 to
26 during which the authority of Willis
to act is most obscure It happens that
tbe d te on which Wiilis made the d-
mand on President Doie to retire was
December 19, when" C tveiand had giveu
the subject to ibe broader authority oi
congrtss. Under tDese circumstances the
lawyers ot congress are asking as to the
anthoiity of V 1 1 i i s to act during che
hj(tu9, and parliru! ir!y as to the validity
of bis action D ceminr 19, two days a'ter
congress leceived authority to direct his
actions
Judge Cirberson,' chairman of the ju
aidiry committee and an au horit? on
egal qnestir.nt-, said Miui- er Wiilis was
hound oy his early instructions until he
received notice that they were changed'
It made no lilfirmcy, he sa d. tllat the
prefident turned ovr th r uj-ct to oon .
gress December 18. the facts did not
bicome known to Wi'lis notii December
26, so that ui) to the latter date be had
authority to execute b e early iostruc
tions. ..

Rio Janerio. Jan . 12. Tbe explosions
in the rebel fort Vii!rg.ignon and on
board the rebel warship Tamandure Mie
more serious than at first stated. Tlio
ezplosi o iu the fort is variously reported
as of a gun and cf the m-ig .z ne Fifteen
soldiers were killed and iba fort had v
damaged. - The ti plosion of tbe gun nn
tbe Tnmandare killed six marines and
wonnded e'ght The rebels are reported
much disheatened by these accidents, anil
Peixoto's adherents are encouraged. The
rumor that an agent of Pe xoto caused
tbe explosion in the fort is denied by the
rebels. . the reported retueal of the Nie-
tlieroy't crew to sail is not doe to non
payment ol wages, but they demand pay
nieut in advance. The government de
nies this. It savs the Nicflieroy, and
qtber vessels nt Perriambuco will sail
south as soon as tbe en'ire fleet is gathered
thern. It is likewise asserted and con
tradicted that the rebels contemplate at
tacking the govern mint flrel and then
Rio itself. Peixoto is confident of bis
ability to successful y defend tbe city. .

1liiioltalaiii Abandons all Hope
San Francisco, Jan. Id mere were
twu arrivals from Honolulu today- The
City of Peking, which.Ieft there January
5, and the Amtralii, which sailed the
following day. The last edition of one
of the evening papers published January
6, the day the Australia left, says Lilt
tnkalaoi his eutirely abandoned all hopes
of ever regaining the throne of Hawaii,
and is now. perfecting arraogemen's for
bnnging suit against tbe Uuited States
for an immeosj sum of moo .y. This in
formation, the paper satd, came from a
source which makes it abinluteiy trust
worthy, and it was believed that before
tbe next steamer sailed from there tor
Shu Francisco the news would become
more or less publicproperty on the isl
ands. The agents of the ex -queen, now
in tbe United S;ates, have informed her
that American sentiment generally is
against her restoration and in tayor ot
the annexa'ion of the islands, and that
all further efforts on her part to regain
her lost p otion will be utterly useless.
Actiug on tins information, and in view
of the stubborn stand taken by the pro
visional government, Ltliankaiaoi con
cluded to abandon the struggle to restore
former conditions and to seek pecuniary
solace in a suit for heavy damages
gainst the American government. Her
etion will be taken upon statements
ade in her favor by President Clevi-
and in bis . messages to Congress, by
ifceretary Gresham in bis letter to Presi-
eut Cleveland, and by Commissioner
Blount in the report of his investigations.
nd upon the furthei fact that in recog-
lzing the justice ot her cause, and ac-
nowledging that a wrong had been
one her. the Unite 1. States endeavored
to induce the provisional government to
surrender in her favor. The claim for
amages will also be made upon the
ground that she was deposed solely by an
armed force of the United States, acting
nder the advice and direction of Minis-
er otcvens It 13 well Known among
eading royalists that a representative of
he ex-queen left here uot long ago lor
San 'Francisco. He was iostiucted to
pen negotiations with tb'e state depart
ment concerning 'he payment of a large
sum t the ex queen as a partial return
or the loss of her tcepter. What action
e bas taken, if any, bas net been learned
here. His identity is closely concealed.

London, Jan. 13 A letter from a press
correspondent st Pernambaeo, dated De

ment guardship Parti ah a yOs was sent
north suddenly upon the
plea that her
services wera u elel in order to sup
ress an insurrection of convicts upon ao
laud used at a convict settlement; but
he departure of the ahio from Peruara-
buco was really ordered for fear she
wou d j nn the rebel fleet. - A feeling of
dis rus'. and treachery prevades all ranks
of Brazilians. The better classes all fa-,
vor a monarchy, and the very governors
of tbe states are anxious to join the rebels
but dare not for fear of the military.
There are 300 men, on board the Nin
Uieroy. thougu there is scarcely room for
250 Scarcely one of the 100 Brazilian
cadets on board ha ever been to see, and
the result will be in action they will im

The Mtorm's Extent.
Boisb, Jan 15 A heavy storm has
prevai ed throughout Southern Idaho for
several days In Boise the. weather has
been warm with rain falling. In the
mountains the storm has taken the form
of snow. A special from.Hsiley says
a heavy storm of snow and sleet has been
raging over the Wood river country since
Saturday last, and still continues at this
writing with unabated furv. Io tbe
mountains the snow has reached a great
depth, and there have been numerous
slides today in .tbe various gulches be
tween Belie .'ue and Ketchum and above,
but ee far no fatalities have been heard
of. Grave fears have beec entertained
fcr tbe miners, so many of whom ate
known to be out in the bills at Bullion,
Deer creek, Triumph, East Fork, and the
Red Elephant and Red Cloud groups ot
mines. The situation is rendered still
more indefinite by the telephone service
being almost entirely snut off with tho
large mines and intermountain camps
Last night nn avalanche swept down into
Wood river, just opposite Hailey, and cut
off the power from tbe electric light sta
tion and tne town was in darkness. The
people will await anxiously for tbe storm
to abate in order to learn of tbe safety Oi
their friends. .

reaking tne arm and leg el tbe other.
Tbe train was running rapidly at the

An Unwelcome Bath. '
Ochoco Review: Thursday Billy Combs
and wife, Mrs, Coshow, Miss Snoderly and
Johnny Backus were treated to an unex
pected and unwelcome bath in Ochoeo.
They were coming to town in a hack, and
when at tbe ford half a mile above town,
Mr. Combs thought he would drive into
deep water and wash the- mud off tbe
heels, bnt the channel bad been changed
by the recent high water, a deep cut hav
ing been washed oat, and when the back
struck this over it went, throwing all the
occupants, together with the wraps, lap
robe, etc , into the stream. Mr. Coinbs and
Mr. Backus devoted their attention to get
ting tbe ladies out of the water and let the
horse-oat. However, they were gentle and
did no damage except-to break the hack
tongue. The ladies were thoroughly
drenched, and presented rather a sorry ap
pearance as they walked into town; but
their clothing was soon . dried, and they
were as comfortable as though tbe accident
had not happened.

Held to the Grand Jury.
A speeiai deputy, Mr. C. A. Stewart,
brought to the county jail last night a man
by the name of Estey, who was bound over
to the grand jury at the Locks yesterday
for obtaining money under false pretenses.
It seems that be has been playing a gemeral
confidence game on that and other commu
nities, and we are informed has traveled
nnder several aliases. At Hood River he
became acquainted with Mr. J. T. Delk.and
gave into the keeping ot Mrs, Delk a
package which he claimed contained $7800,
at the same time carefully warning her not
to sy a word to any one about tho matter.
Of course she told her husband, and biliev.
ing this to be true, on the strength of the
deposit Mr. De k loaned him $23. Very
suddenly he left Hood Riyer and begao op
erations at the Locks, Making himself
acquainted with different business men, be
requested as a particular favor that they
place in the safe a bundle of drafts, which
were sealed in an envelope and properly la
belled with his name, During the dty he
would accidentally drop in and borrow a
few dollars. This he did in four different
places, when suspiciou became aroused and
one of the envelopes was opened and found
to contain nothing bnt old letters or papers.
He was. then arrested, examined before
Justice Candianaand held to the grand jury
in the sum of $300. Mr. Stewart was told
by Mr. Delk last night that he had cot
opened the $7800 package yet, but thought
he would if the act would not be criminal.
Estey claimed to be a eattle dealer, and
looking through the country to ascertain
where he eould make desirable purchases.
He has the appearance of a well-to-do stock
dealer, very -intelligent, and talks very
smoothly. -
Aocidental Death.
Yesterday, soon after noon, a deplorable
accident happened in Thompson's additon,
by which a respectable citizen met his
death. It seems that Mr. Augustns Birtel,
who is a saddler by occupation and has
worked for Mr. Farley in tbis city, ia at
tempting to driye a ealf to Dufor fell from
his horse and broke his neck, death ensu
ing instantly. After partaking ot the noon
day meal tbe old gentleman said he would
drive tbe animal to his son-in-law's farm,
which is on Fifteen Mile creek. Tbe horse
which he was to ride was a little
fraotioos, and one of the boys helped
his father in the saddle, aod started
him on the journey. After going a few
hundred yards tbe horse continued restless,
and tbe fas told the old gentleman to loosen
the baiter so that the animal would go
more freely. Mr. Bartel leaned forward
and untied the halter;v4iut in doing so the
horse shied to one side, and he fell forward
to the ground on his head. The persons
who saw the accident ran to render him as
sistanue; but he only made a few gasps and
expired. . Dr. Hoilister was called; bat
when be reached the scene the man had
been dead several minutes, hit Beck being
broken by the fall. Mr. Bartel was a highly
respected citizen, of iDdnatrions habits, and
had many friends in this oommuoity. He
was aged about 55 years, and leaves a wife
and a large family of children to mourn bis
sudden demise.
A Ghastly Disoovery.
Antelope Herald.
Mr. Joe Reybaro came into town Friday
morning and informed Justice A. Keaton
that be had discovered the skeleton of a
man on the west bank of the John Day
river, about four miles below C'aroo's ferry,
and suggested that an inquest be held over
tbe remains. Mr. Rayburn's story is to the
effect that on Thursday about 1 o'clock he
was doing some grabbing on his ranch
which borders on the river, and breaking
the handle of his grabbing boe, hs started
into a clump of willows which grew in a
slew near tbe edge of the river, to cat him
self another ene, when to his astonishment,
he came near stumbling over the skeleton
of a human being. Upon examination be
found tbe bones still enolosed in a pair of
blue overalls, a pair of ootton drawers, a
blue flannel shirt, a ootton under shirt and
one boot. The other leg from tbe knee
down was gone. No flesh whatever re
mained oa the bones, and it was very evi
dent that the body had been ia a sUte of
decomposition for several months, judging
from the oircamstanoea surrouoding and the
olothes found on the remains, it is very
likely the body of James M. Thompson,
who was drowned in the John Day river at
Burnt Rtnch on the 26th day of last Jane.
Mrs. Thompson h been seat for and sba
will be present at the inquest, which will
be held on the John Dty to-morrow by
Jastice Keaton and a jury of six.

List Saturday night, soon after 11 o'olock,
Mr. Ben Wilson aod Mr. Harper, the bight
policeman, were in the former's saloon st
the East Eud, sitting down and converting
over general matters, when the back .door
was opened and two men with floor sacks
over their faoea entered, and each with two
drawn le vol vers, demanded them to hold
np their hands. Mr. Wilson aod his com
panion, Mr. Harper, who had dropped in to
read the evening papers, at first thought it
to be a joke on the part of some of their
friends, for a few evenings before some rail
road boys had attempted the same rase.
Mr. Wilson was sitting by the stove, and
rose to a standing position and said that
they didn't mean it, but wete only joking,
Tbe same was true of Mr. Harper, who put
his hand on his reyolver and said he guessed
they couldn't play that game on tbem; bat
he wis immediately warned that if he made
snv turther movement his brains would be
blown out. At this juncture he realised
the situation, and coming to tbe conclu
sion that the men had the "drop" on bim
he pursued the wiser coarse of obey-'
ing orders. V bile one 'of the men
eovered Wilson and Harper with revolvers,
the other walked rapidly to the front doors
aod pulled np the curtains. The same msn
then made Wilson open tbe till and give
him its contents, amounting to over $30, in
cluding nickels aod teu oent pieces. All
this time Harper had two reyolyers.
cocked, pointed at his breast, and was pow
erless to aot. The man who took tbe
money kept one gun on Wilson all the time,
aod he would have been foolish to resist
After the money was secured, the robbers
made Wilson aod Harper stand with their
hands np and their facet to the wall. In
this position one of the men searched Harp.

through they backed towards the door, aod
told Wilson and Harper not to move or
they would be filled full of lead. As they
left they politely aaid good-night, and
thanked them for tbe manner in which they
had been reoeiyed. A short time after
wards Harper gaye the alarm, and watched
carefully the street towards the brewery,
oa which the aro light reflected, to see if
any one passed; bat cou'd not discern any
one crossing. The morning trains, freight
and passenger, were boarded by Harper and
Gibons, to see if any suspicious characters
left the city; bat none were observed. Mr.
Harper described the man who interviewed
bim as one weighing about 160 pounds, with
blue overalls and black oil olotb coat, but
toned at the ohio, but opened below, aod .
belt around his waist. Tbe sack was
split open at tbe tides and oovered a portion
of the shoulders. He wore a light pair of
shoes, which were eovered with mud, and
considerable of the same substance was on
the bottom ot the trousers. The one wbo
managed Wilsou had nearly the same cloth-
ing, bat his coat was buttoned olose, and
when taking the money from tbe till put
one gun between tbe buttons, lie was
larger than the other and was judged to
weigh about 175 pounds. Tbe revolvers
were tbe old Colt's pattern, and the- ham- -mere
were thrown oomplety back, ready for
action at the least pull of the trigger, This
is the boldest and most determined robbery
that has been committed in this oity for a
number of years, and it is wise on the par) -
of oar citizens to take the necessary precau
tion to guard against any surprise. ,
Webfoot Weather. .
This webfoot winter is a surprise to the
oldest inhabitants, and no season with the
same amount of rainfall has aver been
known in the history of Eastern Oregon.
Tbe ground is thoroughly soaked per
meated with moisture for a great depth,
and still tbe heavens are opened and the
rain descendeth. We have been inolined -heretofore
to question tbe truth of the
proposition that tbe world could be flooded
by any amoaat of rainfall, and this opinion
has become more firmly seated from the ex-
perieace of tbe present season. Forty days
and nights to inundate a world is ridiculous
from tbe experience of The Dalles since the
middle of last November. Almost every
day has witnessed a rainfall sinoe tbat date.
and the country is not flooded. Tbe roads
are composed of ehnroed mud, but we ean '.
still walk and drive around the city
without ferrying across streets, or moving
to the secoLd stories ot buildings. It is
tro that the murky atmosphere has had a
delibitating effect upon residents. Gloom
and malaria have settled npon the commun
ity, end a moroseness of disposition hat
taken possession ot the people that has
weakened physical exertion, and has made
the mental faculties to question the philos
ophy ol Hamlet's soliloquy aod oome to the
conclusion that it is better to fly to the ills
we know not of than be satisfied with those
we bear at present, A fall ot snow would
be appreciated, aod oar people would be
happy to have sleighing in December and
January, and not suffer tbe severities of the
season in Febrnary.
