THE CRUISE OF THE BOSTON.
What She Accomplished on Her Recent
Trip to the West Indies.

From the New York Tribune.
The recent cruise of the Boston was fraught
with diplomatic incidents fully as important
as her investigation of the seizure of the Hay
ten Republic, but concerning which the pub
lie have been SO far ignorant. The Boston
was first ordered to Livingston, Guatemala, to
investigate the imprisonment of the American
consul at that place, and to demand an apology
for the outrage. 1t seems that the '.jefe po-
1tico," or civil governor of the province in
which Livingston is situated, came to that city
and drank freely. The American consul there
owns boat and the '.jefe politico' took a
notion that he would like that boat, and there
upon demanded it. The American consul ex-
planned that he had use for the boat and must
refuse to give it up. Thereupon the 'jefe"
threw the consul into a filthy calaboose There
are about fifteen Americans in Livingston, and
when they heard of the outrage they started
out to tear down the calaboose and lynch the
'jefe politico." But some of the more con-
servatiye prevailed upon the rest to try to rea-
son with the governor before committing any
overt act. This was done, and owing to the
strong respect for the Smith h Wesson revolver
entertained in Guatemala, the force of the
Americans argument was seen and the consul
liberated after three hours Imprisonment.
But the insult to the flag was not atoned for,
and the Boston was sent down to see about it.
When the cruiser arrived the governor made
most ample apology.
Things being satisfactorily settled at Liv-
ingstone, the Boston was ordered to go at
once to Corn island, which lies off the coast of
Nicaragua and is owned by that nation. 1t is
the key of the proposed Nicaragua canal from
military point of view. Information was re-
ceived at the State department that the United
States of Colombia had set up some anti
quated claim to the island and had entered into
a secret compact with France to take possess
sion of it and cede the French government
a coaling station there. This would
enable France to command the eastern en-
trance to the Nicaragua canal a thing which
manifestly could not be allowed by the United
States. When the Boston reached Corn island,
it was found that the Nicaraguan government
had also heard of the intended seizure of the
island and had sent garrison there with in
structions to the commanding officer forcibly
to resist any attempt to occupy the place by
foreign power.
The Boston staid there for some time and
then went to Jamaica to communicate with
Washington. Thence she was ordered to
Hayti. The rest of her eventful cruise is well
known. The garrison which the Nicaraguan
government sent to Corn island has been with
drawn, but whether the French still cherish a
scheme of establishing a coaling station there
and controlling the Nicaragua canal is known
to those who are possessed Of "that little
wisdom which rules the world"

THE MONROE DOCTRINE.
The House Committee in Favor of the
Edmunds Resolution.

Theoretical politicians at the capitol have
been busy to-day discussing "what might have
BEEN if some Of those who voted for
the tariff bill had voted against it or
vice-versa. Senator Riddleberger declared on
the floor, after the vote was taken, that had it
not been for the fact that he was paired,
be would have voted against the bill.
Such action on his part would have made
the result tie. -Four or five hours before
Senator Riddleberger gave utterance to his
personal opinion, Senator Blair had said to a
friend that IL his vote would defeat the
bill he would be found with the
opposition. Mr.. Blair said he was
forced to this position by the action of the Sem
ate in making certain reductions in the lumber
schedule, but realizing that his solitary vote
would not defeat the measure he voted for it
for political reasons only If Blair and Riddleber-
ger had only come together before the vote was
taken and had mutually discovered each others
sentiments, say some Of the democrats,
the bill would have been defeated.
The supporters Of the bill were
not at all alarmed this morning
by the scarecrow Of yesterday. They say that
no such combination could possibly have been
made, for Mr.. Riddlebergeras term of Office ex-
pires on March 4, and he viii then ask from the
incoming administration favors in return for
the uniform support he has given the republic
cans in the Senate during period when his
vote meant everything to the republican party.
To have defeated the tariff bill would have
wrecked Mr.. Riddleberger's chances.

sofa.

ST. PAUL, MIMI, Jan. 23.-Before 10 o'clock
this morning nearly every member of the
house Of representatives was in his seat
ready for business. The investigating COM
mittee had been in session until midnight, and
started to work once more early this morning,
and it was understood that partial report at
least would be submitted.
After being called to order short recess
was taken to allow the committee further
time. The business pending was the motion
to elect a United States Senator.
MIR. Lane moved to amend by first
hearing the report of the investigating
committee, and after various other amend
ments, substitutes, &C., it was decided to take
a further recess until twenty minutes to II to
await the report of the committee.
wAsHBURN ELECTED.
MrNNEAPoLIs, Jan. 25.-The joint ballot of
the Minnesota house and senate for United
States Senator resulted at LOS pm. as follows:
Washburn, LOT; Durant, 20; Start, 8; Wilson. 2;
scattering 8. Whole number of votes cast, 141;
necessary to a choice, II.
The committee on investigation came in
promptly and presented their report. 1t
states that large number of wit
nesses have been examined; that several
persons were offered money or other thing
of value by over jealous friends of the
several candidates; but that there is no evil
dence in any way whatever, duplicating
either Gen. Washburn or Senator Sabin, nor is
any member of either branch of the legisla-
ture shown to have received any money or
other brides. .e
The report was accepted. The roll was then
called for the election of United States Sena-
tor.

Prohibition Losing Ground.

Boston Special to the N. Y. World
Some interesting figures showing the ten
dency of Massachusetts on the question of Ii
censing the sale of intoxicating liquor were
submitted to the legislature to-day by the Sec
rotary of the state. In 1886 out of $40 cities
and towns IA, or 81 per cent, voted to grant Ii
censes. The popular majority against license
showed 500 per cent of the people of the state
to be in favor Of the policy of prohibition. In
1887, with the same number of cities and towns,
63 voted yea The majority against license
had become 51.5S per cent of the total. The
total vote was 1876 per cent greater than in
1886. In 1887. when the number of cities and
towns was 351, IS, or % per cent voted yes.
The total vote increased 2.5 per cent in this
year, and 53.45 per cent was in favor of license.
This is quite a set back for the prohibitionists

THE SOUTHERN NEGROES LIKELY TO SIT DOWN

An Atlanta, Ca, special to the New York
Herald says: Negroes all through the south are

ported utterances at Charleston. Jackson
McHenry, a colored leader who was a delegate
at-large to the Chicago convention, speaks for
the negroes of the south and is bitter toward
Malone. He said:

self to the full view Of the colored republicans.
There is petition going the rounds among
delegates to the late republican national con-
vention, asking their Endorsement of Malone
for cabinet position. / signed that, but am

hone charges that the negro is heavy load
for republicans to carry. Heavy load, indeed!
Where would that same Malone be if 1t wasn't
men in the Virginia legislature found Malone
the heaviest load any party men ever attempted
to carry. Now it shows that he's one of those
politicians that think the negro is only fit to
vote to keep such as him in Office.
"Such men will mighty soon learn that the
thinking for themselves, and don't propose to
be run over. These politicians give the negroes
the party organization while they take the fat
Offices. The negroes will be glad Malone has
shown his true colors. never could imagine
before why Malone was so strongly opposed to
the right OF the negroes Of the Petersburg dis
trict to elect Prot. J. NJ. Langston, the we'll
known colored man, to Congress, but see now
that he was afraid of Langston, who is q much
better man and greater too than Mahone."
Mr.. McHenry says that Malone voted for
Sherman and Allison at Chicago, while he
himself voted for both Harrison and Morton.
He says that negroes have no idea of urging
any negro for q cabinet position, but all win
join him now in protesting against Malone.

The Cane of the Future.

Experts in such matters announce that the
cane Of the past is doomed. Hereafter sticks
that are odd, unique and valuable will be
sought for by men who study the details of
their personal belongings. The big cane has
been relegated to the smaller towns, and the
whipper-snapper malacca stick, with its small
silver handle, is no longer in order. Canes
have match-boxes, card-cases, pipes, swords,
and almost everything else concealed about
them nowadays, and $50 is by no means an
unusual sum to pay for walking-stick That
most amiable and popular of public men.
Charles Delmonico, carries a cane in which a
small watch is set. The watch is wound by
twisting the handle, and the face of the time
piece is visible through hole in the side Of
the cane.

About Settled That Blaine and Wanna.
maker VIII Have Places.

The fact Of Mr.. Wanamaker's postponing
his visit to Europe, and that he has been called
to Indianapolis by Gen. Harrison is regarded
generally as indicating that he is going to be
Postmaster-General. It is regarded as settled
that he is to take up that portfolio.
MIR. Henry G. Payne, Wisconsin's candidate
for the Postmaster-G eneralship, it is under
stood, has withdrawn from that candidacy and
Will be satisfied with the appointment of first
assistant
IowAs REPRESENTATIVES, IN THE CABINET.
The presence Of Mr.. Clarkson, of Iowa, in
the city renews the discussion of who will 60
into the cabinet from that state. The STAR
reporter has the authority of an Iowa man,
who is entirely trustworthy and who knows
about the matter, that Senator Allison has
ury, and that his last refusal was so positive
as to place the matter beyond further discus
sion.
Mr.. Allison, with the rest Of the Iowa politi.
clans, are pressing Mr.. Clarkson for appoint
ment, and they have for some weeks been en-
called.
This leaves no one in the lead for the Secre-
taryship of Treasury unless it is Mr.. Mckinley,
OF Ohio, who says he is not seeking that place.
THE NEW YORK MATTER
is still troubling Gen. Harrison, but somehow
or other the impression has got abroad that
whether it is Miller or Plat who is selected
for the cabinet neither will go into the Treas
ury. The New York folks and the Blaine men
want Plat, but those who have pressed Plat
upon General Harrison have come away with
the impression that the President-elect felt
under obligations to and very friendly toward
Miller.
That Blaine is to 60 into the State depart.
ment is getting to be more and more generally
believed
