in Recognizing Her.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-After some petit
tons had been presented, Sherman intro
duced bill to provide for a permanent ma
-otional bank circulation. Referred.
Chandler offered a resolution, referred
to the committee on contingent expenses,
instructing the committee on immigration
to investigate the various laws of the
United States and of the several states re-
lative to immigration. Also to investigate
the working of the contracts made by the
secretary of the treasury.
The Senate then took up Morgan's reso-
luton recognizing the United States of
Brazil as free, Independent sovereign
state.
Turpie said he had voted against the
reference of the resolution because he
thought the delay occasioned by refer
ence wholly unnecessary. He favored the
immediate recognition of the republic of
Brazil. He was not one of those who en-
tertained the opinion that Congress was
bound by the action, or on-action, of the
executive or of the state department about
: such a matter as the recognition of a new
nationality, especially a new republic.
Congress might cooperate with those au-
thorities The position, he said, of the ad-
ministration toward the new republic of
Brazil was one of strict neutrality and SUI
pine Indifference. There was not in the
message of the President word of sympa
thy or encouragement to the revolutionary
movement. As to the Presidents sugges
tion of awaiting the popular assent to the
change of government in Brazil, Turpie
said the revolution was not the first, but
the last step. There was always apopular
assent before a fragrant and successful
revolution.
I'M, ~,
sage that the revolutionary government of
Brazil had been established without or
against the assent of the people disclosed
the real attitude of the administration
towards the new government. 1t ap-
preached very nearly condition of covert
hostility. 1t expressed, partly concealed,
but very apparent asserevation, even
a sheer, upon the sovereignty of the re
public of Brazil. The time had come when
the existence and authority of the repub-
lie of Brazil could be no longer contro-
verted in words; it could be conJroverted
only by war. The chairman OF the commit
tee on foreign affairs, Sherman, had told
the Senate that it should wait and inspect
the new constitution of Brazil The Uni
ted States, however, was not concerned to
know what were the particular provisions
of that constitution. The President of the
United States had been long known
at a Republican, using the word in
the larger and better sense, but
Turpie feared that in this instance the
President was very much belated Repub-
Hcan. In the case of Brazil, even Mr.
Blaine seemed to limp and linger in the
rear of opportunity. He contrasted the
delay in the recognition of the republic of
France in 1870 by Mr.. Washburn, !under
the instruction of President Grant He
trusted the delay in the recognition had not
already led to a very serious misconstruc-
g 4no
of the United States government.
The resolution went over without fur
Their action. The Senate then took up the
calendar and passed the following bills ::
Granting to the state of Oregon townships
%, 2S, 20, 30 and 81 south, in ranges and 8
east, of the Willamette meridian, for a
public park; appropriating $4,000 for the
purpose of a site and the erection of a
building at Washington for the hall of
records.
/. The Russian eXtradition treaty was
y committed to the committee on foreign re
lations. There was considerable discus
sion on the clause specially setting forth
that to murder, or attempt to murder, the
Car or any member of his family shall be
considered political offense without this
special definition of the text of the treaty
1t was argued by some Senators that it
placed the Car and the peasant on the
same level and offered them the same pro-
lection. 1t was not necessary or Just.
they said, to hamper the courts IN advance
by deciding for them that an attempt upon
the life of member of the Russian royal
family was not political crime. 1t is the
impression that the clause relating to the
Car and family will be eliminated and the
eeSsaty be ratified by the Senate.
n Reconsideration Of the nomination of
Sihomas Morgan to be Indian commissioner
9Tias postponed until next week
After executive session, adjourned
