Capital Stock was quite a sensation in insurance circles in this city w hen it became known that the Alliance Insurance Company of London had set­ tled with Buyer it Reich and had paid that firm the full amount of its propor­ tion of the loss under its policy of $6,000.

Rus­ sell was a negro miner The trial lasted two days before Judge Moore. The evi­ dence showed the men quarreled over a revolver which Russell said Holmes stole. Russell slapped Holmes while standing in front of a saloon. Holmes went away, and came back a few min­ utes later w ith the same pistol. A short distance away lie find at Russell, whose bark was turned. The latter wheeled and ran for Holmes. The second shot passed through his head from a distance of two feet. Holmes said he was goin to give the gun to Russell and did not shoot him. He also set up insanity from epi­ lepsy as a defense. Both were drunk. Holmes is a small man, and Russell was very large.

Secretary Smith has approved the ap­ plication of “ Pawnee B ill” for a loan of thirty-five Sioux Indians to be exhibited at the Antwerp Kxhibition. Senator Call of the Senate Committee on Appropriations has reported the for­ tifications hill to the Senate as amended. The committee increases total House ap­ propriation to the extent of $826,405, the bill as reported carrying $3,504,104. It is intimated upon good authority that the President is strongly disposed to use a portion of the fund placed at his disposal for the establishment of a naval coaling station in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. It is asserted that the actual occupation of I’earl Harlior will amount to assuming a protectorate over tlie isl­ ands, and that HawaiianH would have no cause to iear interference in their affairs by other powers. The President lias transmitted to the Senate all information in his possession regarding the Bluefietda (Nicaragua) in­ cident and the landing of British troops. There is nothing startling in the corre- ■pondence. Among the letters attached isone from Ambassador Bayard, in which Bayard says he was informed by the British government that the landing of troops at Rluefields was taken for the sole purpose of protecting the lives and property of the residents and with no intention of violating treaty rights. F.stimutes of the amount of revenue under the new tariff bill reported to the Senate will probably show the total amount to be almost $381,000,000. This is a reduction of $13,000,000 from the estimates in the first bill reported to the committee. The principal reduction is made through the restoration of the present tax rate on domestic cigars and cigarettes, which amounts to a loss of over $10,000,000. As the bill stands, if the estimate is correct, it will produce $30,000,000 more revenue than is needed. Delegate Joseph of New Mexico will make a move, as soon as the appropria­ tion hills are out of the way, to secure a special rule by which the New Mexico Statehood hill will be given the rij?ht of way and block all other business in the House until a quorum makes its appear­ ance and passes the hill. As party lines are drawn on the bill, he can hope for no help from the Republicans, l’he lat­ ter want Oklahoma admitted at the same date in order to secure two Republican Senators to offset the Democratic Sena­ tors from New Mexico. I t is urged also that the Utah and Arizona bills, already passed by the House, give a prospect- of tour Democratic Senators, so that fair­ ness urges the admission of Oklahoma as well as the other three territories. Ixrnd of California made a strong speech that attracted much attention in the House the other day during consid­ eration of the river and harbor items in the sundry civil bill. He showed that tiie Southern States had received up to 18IHI $60,000,000 for river and harbor im­ provements, while the value of their shipping »a s only $18,000,000. During this time the Bacific Coast, with $23,- 000,000 value in shipping, had only re­ ceived $10,000,000, and of this amount Oregon had received the lion’s share— $6,0(H),000. I -olid made such a good showing for California that Hermann of Oregon attempted a reply. 1-oud molli­ fied Uie Oregon Representative by say­ ing that Oregon fared so well because of the ability of Senators Mitchell and Dolph and Representative Hermann, whose fitness for Congressional work the ( Iregon people appreciated. The appointment of General Cateh- ings to the Chairmanship of the River and Harlior Committee to succeed Blanchard, appointed Senator, leads members of tiie House to hope that there will he some very material in­ creases made in the river and harlior a|>- propriatiotis, for Catchings is a more liberal-minded man than his predecessor. Representative Caminetti as a member of the committee is daily in consultation with his colleagues in an endeavor to se­ cure more money for the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers, while Repre­ sentatives l/oud and Wilson of Washing­ ton made a gallant fight for the entire Bacific Coast on the House floor during the consideration of the sundry civil bill. The river and harlior bill when reported will show some changes affecting Bacific Coast rivers and iiariiors since the first statement was telegraphed. What changes these are will probably be iu the nature of increases. Further correspondence lietwcen W il­ lis and Dole has lieen submitted to Con­ gress. It is mostly explanatory. Dole acknowledges the receipt of a letter dated January 18 from W illis, and says that in it W illis shows a desire that no interpretation should lie placed upon the events referred to that would lie incon­ sistent with a friendly attitude on the part of himself and the United States toward Hawaii. February 14 Dole ad­ dressed a letter to Willis, in which he is much pleased at W illis’ explanation as to why the American naval forces were deprived of their litierty and prohibited from wearing uniforms on shore after the arrival of the Corwin. l>ole says further that it lias not lieen his desire to charge the United States with intending to use force, but rather to show that the withholding of information on the point had produced an unfortunate state of af­ fairs, and to which W illis’ attention was called at the time. Dole closed by disa­ vowing on the part of his government any unfriendliness toward the United States.
