claims for back pay and bounty are re
duced from 4750 U'H f 44'l.lntu.
The Hawaiian debate was resumed.
In his speech on the Hawaiian resolu
tion, Rayner, Democrat, of Maryland,
today said: In the first place, I am
convinced beyond all manner of reason
able doubt that Stevens was an active
participant in the overthrow of the
monarchy of Hawaii, and In the second
place, the presidents having submitted
the matter to congress, I am satisfied,
according to usages and principles of
international law, we have no right by
use of arms or force to remedy a wrong
committed, and that all efforts for a
peaceable solution of the matter having
terminated we have no right to Inter
vene, and that It Is our duty for the
present to recognize the de facto gov
ernment now In charge, and our duty In
future to recocnlze such form of gov
ernment as may be determined on by
the wishes of the people of those islands
While Raynor was dwelling upon the
mlsslne letter of Blaine to Stevens, in.
which the latter asked for Instructions

should the revolution occur m
said Blgnificantly, "I would like to tell
you what I infer those Instructions
were. I d UKe to leu yuu
Go on, go on," came In a chorus
from the Republicans. Raynor, how
ever, declined to do so, saying he
thought it would be unfair to give the
Inference, but added: "If this letter is
produced, and it ordered Stevens to
keep hln hands off, I will take back all
I have said."
I-ater. while discussing Boutclle's res
olution of Inquiry as to the authority
by which Blount had ordered the flag
hauled down, he said Boutelle seemed
possessed by the flag Idea. "He U with
the flag," said he, "like the Irish is
with the shlllelah whiyever .you see
a head hit It; so wherever he sees a
place for a flag he wants to huul It up."
(Great republican applause.)
'Better haul It up than haul It down,
interjected Boutelle.
"He has not stopped talking about It
In twenty years," Raynor continued,
amid laughter. "And he never will,"
said Boutelle.
"It seems to be the dream of his
sleeping and waking hours," continued
Raynor. "If he were to start for the
north nole. solitary and alone, with the
folds of the flag about him, the nine
teenth century would find him standing
in maiestic solitude upon the frozen
axis of the world waving the stars and
stripes."
nut not under the orders of the sec
retary of the navy who ordered the flag
hauled down," added Boutelle, amid re
newed applause,
Nothing of a sensational nature oc
nrred during th9 Hawaiian debate. As
vpt there has been no break In the
party lines, and the indications are
Mint the McCreary resolution will uc-
bv a strict party vote. On ac
count of pressure of time. It was agreed
just before the house adjourned to ex
tend the debate until 3.30 Tuesuay ni-
ternoon, with the understanding that'
the Eout2lle resolution be Included In
h BIMflal order. A vote will be taken
at the conclusion of the debate on the
other resolution.

Satisfaction Over the Renewed Friend
ship of Bismarck and William.
(Copyrighted 1894 by Associated Press.)
Berlin, Feb. 3. Every day adds to
the urgent desire of the emperor to
have, it understood that his attitude to
wards Prince Bismarck Is changing his
admiration Into friendship. His thanks,
officially announced in the Reichsanzel
ger, his special thanks to the municipal
authorities, his renewed letter to Bis
marck and the interview with the min
ister of war, all bear testimony to this
point. General Von Schellondorff, when
presenting his report Thursday last,
thanked his majesty on behalf of the
army for arranging a reconciliation
with Bismarck. This caused the em
peror to exclaim, in a tone of surprise
and pleasure, "In the name of the army,
too?"

Seizure . of a British Tug by
President Peixoto.
BRITAIN'S ALLEGED NEUTRALITY
Attempt by the Cardiff to Place
Dynamite on the Insurgrent
Vessel Trajano.
Associated Press.
(Copyrighted 1894 by Associated Press.)
Rio de Janeiro, iA:b. 3. A fresh sensa
tion was created yesterday by the sum
mary seizure of a. British tug by i.rde-
of Peixoto. The English friends of De
Mello and Do Gamaf it has been assert
ed, have not only given ammunltl. n
to the Insurgent sailors, but have at
tempted to supply them with dynamite.
The boat captured by Pelxoto's men is
the tug Ccrdlff, the property of an En
glish coal company, and arrived here
some days ago, loaded with coal, which
v.as discharged and has since remained
in the harbor. Shortly after she left the
wharf she waa overhauled by one ol
Pelxoto's boatB, and the Brazilian offi
cials went aboard despite the, vlgorout
protests of the captain. The Cardiff was
taking dynamite to the Insurgent war
ship Trajano. The Brazilian offlciaU
compelled the captain to return to the
wharf, where the dynamite was taken
ashore and put In possesion of the gov
ernment. The matter was reported by
the captain to the BrltlHh. officials, but
nothing so far has been done except
cabling the' captain's statement and
Pelxoto's reasons for making the seiz
ure to the home government The ac
tion of Great Britain over this Incident
Is awaited with much interest. English
residents here n-re disposed to condemn
Peixoto, and have grown Indignant over
what they term the 111 treatment of the
Cardiff's captain; but in all other quar
ters Peixoto is considered justified in
doing as hp lid. Outside the Englfs!
colony, Great Britain's pretense about
observing neutrality between the bellig
erents receives little credence, and the
people cannot imagine how Bhe will Ex
plain so violent a breach of the faith
with Peixoto. De Gama has again
asked foreign ministers il Rio to recog
nize the insurgents as belligerents. They
have made no reply to the message.
News is received here of a battle at
Curltiba, 18 miles west of Parangua, on
the left bank of the Curltiba river. The
Insurgents drove the enemy ' from the
field. It Is said between 3,000 and 4,000
men were engaged on each side. The
government troops had 200 killed. The
Insurgents also suffered considerable
loss.
