The principal witness was Professor Oleson of Worcester, Mies., who lor 15 year waa nrincinal of (be manual training school on tbe island of 0bn. It Is understood that durinc the examination tbe witness declared the rjnten's personal character was bad. Mncft of thi witness' testimn consisted ol a history of the trouble whirb led to the debosiiion of tDe qaeea. 1 in witness dtclared the United States forces were landed fur the protection ol prop. ert ol Americans, and said be dnl not think tbe act bad the slightest influence one way or tbe othrr on the revo ntion When asked if he thought tbe queen wonld have been deoored if tbe troops h d not landed, O eson said be so be iieved. although It might not bTe been done so easily Under such conditions Marshal Wi'son, who wa In charge "the do! ire. would hav retainrd posses aion of the police atatson, which be had fonibed. and wbieb would hare been b, se'o-rd. and the conflict won d have been wnb evi-rr advantage on the side of the citizen until be (Wilson) would have been obliged lo surrender. He did not think tbe native population cou'd min- tain a government by- themselves as DUt few among them were' equipped for uch duties.

Colonel El. is re ports that Inspector Taylor, of tbe fron tier police, whi! pursuing Sofas, who had been ravaging a friendly country, arrived at Kerrat emma December 31 and found the plsce to be a perfect chsrnel boose. Sctires of slaughtered captives. Including women and children, were strewn about the neighboring street, and wounded people were seen on all sides, acd tbe stench from pntrelying bodies was bornnlo in tbe extreme, ln- pecror Taylor started ia pursuit of tbe .Sofna who did the bioody work, and came c ose upon them J-inuart 2 at B.tgwemn, The frontier police found the plc- strongly protected by stockade and other 'defenses.

In addition tne frontier po lice captured ail the sons and atnmuai tion of the Sofas and rescued 400 slaves, the majority of whom were women and children.

Washington. Jan. 19 Mendonea, the Brazilian minister, say his (;OTernnient is only playing a waitiog game. Tnere are, be says, two courses open, viz: To surround tbe insurgents and make an aggressive movement 'against tbem, or cut off their sources of supplies and re- intorcemeotg and thereby starve tbem into surrender. The first plan would in volve a partial destruction of ships and other government property in possession of the rebels; the second would gi ye an pnortunity for a continued bombard ment of the city. Official advices received by tbe minister coa'ain iulornntion. that both of tbe columns reported to be march ing north to reinforce Meilo have been repulsed by the government forces as an nounced by press dispatches, and are re treating bck to the sontb post baste He regards these results as fatal blows to Mello'e bope ol securing fresh men con sequent to bis campaign.

Consideration of tbe tariff bill was then resumed, the pending amendment being that of Jabnsoo of Ohio, placing steel rails on tbe free list. v. Wilson asked unanimous consent that three boors be set aside next Monday fo consideration of an amendment to the sugar schedule; agreed to. Dalzell then proceeded witb bis speech begun yesterday. He began by rcap ulating tbe charges he had made against Johnson. . He bad abown, be said, that Johnson manufactured certain kinds of street-rail way rails behind a protection of 190 patents, and wanted railway rails to go on the free list; that be coerced his employes in the face of winter and star vation into accepting wages of one third cash and two thirds scrip; that be had made an untrue statement and bad al tered tbe stenographer's notes; and tbe last scrip bad been hawked about tbe streets of Johnstown and bad been bought in at a discount by a relative of Johnson before it was redeemed at par. Johnson replied to Dalzell in a semi- humorous veio. He (Johnson) did not claim to be a pbilaothrooist. feTheJ Johnson amendment to put steel rails on tbe free list was lost 70 to 100.

Tbe United States is not liable to be sued for damages by tbe almost friendless and impecunious deposed queen She never will be re stored, and I doubt whether she will bave adherents enough in a short time, at tbe present rate of desertien, to make even a shabby showing of royalty."

Toledo, Jan. 20 Ex-Secretary of tbe Treasury Foster says the story that a year ftgo be bad plates made for a bond issue, which President Harrison stopped. is not true. He says be favored a bona issue incase tbe. reserve went below $100,000,000, but it did not do so during Harrison's terns He declares aarnsen never discussed tbe point, bnt be was of tbe impression be would have favored it bad tbe reserve fallen below tbe fixed limit. In reply to a question as te whetb er tbe secretary baa tbe rigbt to issue bonds under tbe act of 1875. be said: 'It is my view 'be law did not con template tbe selling bond to meet cur rent governmental expentes, which is really what Secretary Carlisle proposes, bnt be undoubtedly bas autnonty te sen bonds to replenish tbe reserve, tie can do tba then pay it out for current ex penses, and then sell more bonds to oring p the reserve again, and so on, not tms evades tbe spirit of the law, in my opin ien."

Washington, Jan. 23 In tbe house, tbe fight' to amend tbe eugar schedule of the Wilson bill was made today. It opened at once under the agreement of Friday, setting apart three hears for the purpose. Some time was spent in ar ranging the detii s of tbe discussion by tbe various interests. The sugar men finally asked tbat n hoar each be giren to the advocates of tbe bounty prevision or tbe Wilton bill, to the advocates of tbe retention of tbe McKinley law boun ty, aad to tht advocates ot a duty en sugar. It wat oojscted to this that it gaye ne opportunity to tbe advocates ef free sngar to be heard. It was finally agretd tbat tbe Lonisiaaa members, a the ones most interested, shonld bave an benr and tbe remaiader of the bouse should take its chance of recognition thereafter. Herat, Democrat, ef Arkn sas, offered an assent: meet to abolish tbe aagar bounty, leaving it en tbe free list. He thought it was no tint to be pajing bounties when tbe treasury was bank rupt, and borrowing money at five per cent. Cannon, Republican of Illieois, sup ported Maikerjeba't amendment.

He refused to de so, atd tbe sergeant at-arms was called upon to support tbe speaker's authority. Great excitement followed. The rule was read and then tbe speaker reo gnizad a motion to resume consideration ef tbe tariff bill. On a division, Bontello made tbe point of a:quorum. Tbe Republican! refased to vote. Tellers were appointed, aad it looked as though nu quernm conld be foand. aad that the tariff debate would beaospended. Finally, buwever, a bare quernm was got together and tho sugar debate continued. ' Tbe first vote was taken on tbe Meikel jobn amendment to substitute tbe 2-ctnt bounty of tbe McKinley bill, for tbe bounty provisions of the Wilson bill; lost 83 to 153.'

Great Britain from 1331 to. 1834, 503 years, steadily pro tected wool manufacturing, beginning with fines, mamings, imprisonment and death as the penalties for exporting native wool or importing foreign cloth. In 1746, they were softened down to transports tion for seven years. See Blackstone's Commentaries, title Owling. The lates of these hard penalattes were not re pealed until 1825, and yet through all this protection, to-day, with not a clean ten yeara of boasted free trade, although nnrsed to prepare for it over four centu ries by death, maminga, .imprisonment, etc.,EnglaDd is glorying in its journals to day, tbat they are ready by the fruits of free trade to make as bay of tbem and stop it as an American industry.
