Rich Gold Fields b red in the Republic

CHICAGO, Jan 2O.TA local paper pub.
fishes long article this morning Of the
discovery Of rich gold fields in the Repub.
lie Of Honduras. 1t appears that some
months ago James Rector, Joseph Mill.

three others from Indiana, made up q
pool and sent Rector and another man, an
old California prospector, to Honduras to
examine aud report upon new placer
gold field, which was alleged to have been
found In the southwestern part OF that
little republic. Since November there
have been rumors ailoat that the alleged
discovery was confirmed, and that 1t had
proved to be a most important one, but
the projectors Of the expedition at home
would say nothing about 1t.
Now, however, the ban OF silence Is re.
moved and with the arrival OF full particu.
lars by cable and mail and also the receipt
Of o little bag Of $22 in dust the Importance
OF the find Is no longer concealed.

on the ground since last summer
and who Is known as a prudent
and cautious man and one possessed Of
unusually hard sense writes 10 his friends
here that the discovery is likely to prove
as important q one as any Of the great
placer districts Of California. The new

from the Atlantic Coast. The placers are

W. B. OhurChward, late British Consul Al

way to London, said, in explanation q

Mullin Point, in the City OF Apia, the
seat Of the Samoan Government for many
yearS past, came into tho hands Of Mr
Weber, a former German Consul and
head Of the leading firm at Samoa,
Notice was given the Government TO re.
move, and though Weber was offered a
previously agreed price for the land, he
refused to accept 1t, and.the Samoan Ktnp
vas compelled " relnoye his residence to
another pat Of Apia. Weber's action
was supported by the German Consul
Steubel, Atthls place the King hoisted
the Samoan flag.
Subsequently, upon the alleged insult
to the German Government by the Ssmo.
ans, Consul stsubVl forbade the King to
display bis lag anywhere within the nu
niClpaIity Of Apia. He went personally
TO him and commanded him to pull 4
down. This the King refused 70 do
Steubel then went onbOArd tho German
gunbeat AlbaLross, which happened IA
be In the harbor; brought a party oil
armed sailors ashore, and forcibly and
against the protests Of the United States
and British Oonsuls, pulled down The
nau Ulntain NhurCh III ,nrnI,,Jh,l l.,
stating that the Samoan high chiefs went
to Newz'aland to claim sympathy intheil
troubles, and from their story the report
OF Germauy's annexation OF Samoa prob.
ably arose.
Captain ChurChward's mission to Lon.
don is to lay his dispatches relative to the
recent disturbance caused on the Samoan
Islands by Germany before the British
Foreign Office. The vessel containing
the German dispatches regarding this
affair failed To connect at Honolulu with
the steamer which brought CAPTAIN
OhurChward here, and will Consequently
be some time later in reaching Berlin.
A petition signed by the most promi
nent Americans living in Apia, Samoa
dated December o, 1885, has been for
warded to Secretary Of State Bayard al
Washington. II asks for the removal Of
Unlted States Consul Greenbaun, whom
1t charges with general unhtness for the
office which he holds. Mr.. Greenbaum Il
accused Of charging more than his lega
fees for services rendered In his Olllcia
capacity, and also with neglect to hll
official duties.

OHIO'S DILEMMA.
STILL TWO STUBBORN sENArKs,
Who will not Give way to any Compromise
MSRSursS-Ths Democratic snators eau.
Gus aud Resolve to AIAlntAIn sulIa
Trout Against tho Republicans.

COLuNuus, o. Jan, 2G.-The situation in
the Ohio Senate trouble was quiet this
morning. Suggestions came from both
both sides looking to u compromise, but
nothing definite nor any mode OF proceed
ure was agreed upon. Neither Senate ia
willing to be known US ouEwardly propos-
ing q compromise, and for this reason the
reports OF a settlement may not be OF any
consequence.
The Republicans claim to bs firm in
their position, and that they will agree to
nothing except what includes the imme-
diate proceedings under the rules they
adopted last evening for the disposition Of
the Hamilton County contested cases in
open Senate.
The Democratic Senate is credited with
proposition that special committee be
appointed Of equal membership politically
Tor the hearing OF the contest cases. The
Republicans say they will not entertain
this suggestion, even II 1t should come in
regular form.
Tne Democratic Senators met in caucus
at 10 O'Clock this morning and were in
aesslon for several hours. The Republic
cAl senate met ~ lU o'clock with tho
Lteutenant-Gov in the Chair, all the
Republican members being present and
none Of the Democrats. The journal OF
the day previous was read and declared
approved.
The Republican Senate adjourned to
Tomorrow at 10 a, NJ. The Democratic
caucus accomplished nothing, except 10
resolve on solid front, and that they will
go into the Senate chamber at 4 p. N, to.
morrow, the time 10 whlChthey adjourned.
The latest information Tonight is that a
compromise Of the difficulties will be nj.
tempted TOMORROW. The Republicans to-
DAY appointed COMMITTEES to meet
a similar committee from the Demo.
cratic caucus, the object being to
come to some agreement regarding the
rules for the government OF the Senate,
The Democratic caucus will name their
members OF the committee at 10 o'clock
IN tho morning and the meeting will then
be held. 1t is expected they will be ready

Nicely.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2G.-In the morning
hour Mr.. Thomas, OF Illinois, on behalf ol
the Committee on Naval Affairs, called up
the bill authorizing the voluntary retire.
ment Of certain officers OF the Navy who
have rendered conspicuous service In bat.
tle or served thirty years in the Navy.
Mr.. Dunham, Of IlllnoiP, suggested that
the bill should be titled one to get rid
o! the driftwood Of the Navy.
Mr.. Thomas replied that that would nt {
he a proper title, as under the bill many
gallant men would bs permitted to retire
from active service.
Mr.. Reagan, Of Texas, opposed the bill
arlstocracy to be fed and clothed by the
labor Of other men. The country had
gone far enough on the road toward
establishing an American aristocraCy.
The country should get back to where all
men were equal and where exclusive
privileges were granted to none.
Mr.. Thomas inquired what the gentle
man would do with the present retired
list Of tho Army and Navy.
|. Mr.. Reagan replied that he would re.
peal those un.AmeriCan and un.republi-
can laws and leave the officers to work
for their living like other men. He would
have no man to live on the work OF other
men In this country. He would con.
gratulate himself even though he could
not secure the repeal Of the retirement
laws.
"That's one vote, against Fltz John
Porter" remarked Mr.. Steele, OF Indiana.
Mr.. Mcmillan, Of Tennnessee, took the
same view Of the question as Mr.. Reagan
and announced his resistance to any ex-
tension Of the retired List.
Mr.. McA1oo, Of New Jersey, supported
the bill as being In the line Of reform In
the Navy. Pending action the morning
hour expired andthe House adjourned.
