WITHOUT MERCY
The Crew of a French
Vessel Shot Down
By the Order of PreSi-
dent Peixoto.
Suspected of Intending to Join
the Insurgents.
Anmiral Mello Has Blockaded Rio
de Janiero and Business
Is Suspended.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, Dec. 13.-Dispatches to the
Times from Lisbon says: The steam
ship Nile, which left Rio Janeiro on
December s, has arrived at Pernambuco
bringing news Of the arrest of the
crew of the French steamer Panahyb ba.
Advices say the crew were ordered shot
without trial although there was no
proof that they intended to join the in
surgents under Admiral Mello.
Incensed at che injustice of the SEN
tence the condemned sailors, at the
moment OF execution, cried in one
voice, "Long live Mello." This pro-
duced such an impression that the gov
ernment troops in the firing party tried
not to hit the prisoners and only FIVE
were killed. The soldiers were ordered
to fire again, but they refused. The
remainder of the Parahyba's crew was
therefore imprisoned.
The public is shocked at the bru tality
of the sentence imposed and is greatly
incensed against President Peixoto. The
steamer Parabyba was the Compagnie
and is freight vessel plying between
Havre and South American ports. She
left Cardiff on October 5 for Montevideo
and Buenos Ayres.

Hawaii in the Senate

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-The presiding
officer laid before the senate the resolu-
ton offered on Monday by Hoar, call
ing on President Cleveland for further
information on the Hawaiian matter.
Frye, of Maine, addressed the senate
thereon.
He turned to Blount's report. He
did not know how far the report was
before the senate, but it was before the
country in it's entirety and also before
the house of representatives in its en-
tirety, therefore there was no delicacy
in referring to it. as it was public prop
erty. "Now, 1 wish to say" said Frye
with great gravity and much en-
phasis, ''in relation to that report that
in my judgment it is most dangerous
report in that it makes serious attack
on the character of private citizen of
the United States" 1 affirm continued
Frye. "that Blount in his report has
not written one single unvarnished line
of truth nor given one nnprejudiced
opinion nor rendered one impartial
judgment"
Frye said he assumed that this was
an attack on Stevens charging that he
had dlshonored the flag; that he had
committed an act Of piracy. II thank
heaven" said he, "that no citizen Of
Maine has ordered the flag down and 1
compliment the admiral who did haul
it down that in his dispatch he says
In obedience to the orders of Commits
sioner Blount.'
II have no doubt" said Frye, sit
may become necessary to break Stevens
down. 1 have had reliable informa-
tion since l came into the senate this

The Roumanian Treaty Adopted


BERLIN, Dec. 13.-During the debate
on the Roumanian treaty strong argu-
ments in its favor were advanced by
Won Berlepoch, minister OF commerce;
Won Bieberstein, minister of foreign
affairs, and Chancellor Caprivi. The
latter declared a rejection of the treaty
would seriously damage the prestige OF
the government and the empire and IN
jure the whole economic life of the
country.
The treaty was adopted by vote of
1S9 to 1865. The majority included the
socialists, the Freisinnige party, the
south Germans, the Volkespartei, the
Poles, most of the national liberals and
small portion of the centre. The
minority consisted of the conservatives,
the bulk of the imperialists, the re-
mainder of the centre and Count Her
bert Bismarck. The re suit of the vote
was loudly cheered.

HALF DONE.
The Utah Admission Bill
Passes the House.
1t Appeared Significant
ly in the Debate
That the Chasm Between the
East and West is Widening.
The Hawaiian Policy Is Shown to
Have Democratic Apologists
But No Supporters. -

By the Associated Prefs.
WAsHINGsoN, Dec. 13.-The bill for
the ad mission of Utah was passed with
out a division of the house at the con-
clusion of the debate. The only
amendments Of Importance incorporated
in the enabling act were one by Powers
of Vermont, prohibiting polygamy for
ever, and another by Wheeler, reducing
by one-haIf the land granted to the
state for common school purposes.
Newlands, of Nevada, made his
maiden speech in support of admission.
He thought Utah was fully prepared
for statehood but objec ted to leaving
the question of the allotment of lands
in Utah to bureau of officers at Wash
ington, who did not understand the
conditions there. The United States,
he said, should cooperate in the recla-
nation of arid lands in that region.
In defending Nevada, he said. he was
unable to understand why there
should be SO much aversion to a state
which, when the country was in re-
bellion, had poured $6000 900, ,O0Ointo the
treasury. Newlands claimed the cause
of the present depression in Utah was
the result of legislation leveled at he1
interests. Silver that had ena bled the
country to resume specie payment had
been stricken down and now the Dem
ocratic tariff bill proposed to crush
Nevada's sheep raising interests and
borax mines by placing wool and borax
on the free list.
Mr.. Oates, of Alabama. proposed 6
union of Utah and Nevada. He had
observed that Nevada continued to lose
population and it was question as to
what was to become of the state. He
had no doubt of the intelligence Of the
people of Nevada, but the fact could
not be controverted that the popula-
tion was decreasing. The census of
1890 gave her 10000 and recent Sa1
Francisco papers say that her popula
tion has since been reduced to SO, 900.
If her mining industry continues te
be depressed her population, Oates
said, would continue to fall off till il
might get down to 10000.
Mahon offered an amendment reserv
ing to congress the right to probibi
and punish polygamy, to continue th'
present laws IN force there and to givt
the United States courts exclusive iur
isdiction.
Powers of Vermont, offered substi
tute providing that polygamy anC
plural marriages be forever prohibited
Mahon's amendment was defeated.
Dolliver made speech favoring ad
mission and dwelt on the fact that tn,
Republican party had always been {
friend to the territories. Powers
amendment was agreed to.

Stevens was party to the corruption
employed to break down the queens
government and tablish a revolu-
tionary government"
Gray requested Frye's authority for
such statement, but the latter said
he was not at liberty to give it.
Vest disclaimed speaking as an advo-
cate or special defender of the admins
tration, but spoke as an American sem
ator and an American citizen. and re-
ferred to Stevens as one who believed
that "the earth belongs to the saints
and we are the saints" [laughter]. Stew
ems and the Americans IN Hawaii had
Christlanized the natives and under the
name of God had taken possession of the
land and divided it among themselves.
Vest warmly defended Blount, saying
q purer man publicly and privately had
never appeared in the arena of Amer
ican politics. The crime committed by
the president for which impeachment
was threatened was that he did not fav-
or the annexation of the islands. If
that was a crime the speaker himself
was a criminal and so were q majority
| of the American people.
Vest attacked annexation az opposed
to the traditional policy of Washing
| ton, Jefferson, Jackson, Buchanan and
now Cleveland. He said: Gas 1 un-
derstand the condition of affairs in
Hawaii the provisional government is
de facto government. It is today de
facto government and any assault upon
it on the part of the United States or
any other country must be an act of
war which can alone be brought about
by the action OF congress. I do not
an armed force would be employed"
| Coming to the instructions to Willis,
Vest said: ''If it should turn out that
those instructions were to restore the
queen by an armed force, no one will
deprecate it and none will resist the
doctrine to any extremity more than
myself. repeat it, it would be an act
of war. 1t seems to me impossible that
the secretary of the state and the presi-
dent of the United States should have
come to conclusion that without the
!, action of congress they could do any
such thing. But as l understand the
11position of the administration now as
4 given in the instructions to Blount it
is simply repetition and reafirmation
of the time honored doctrine of our
country in every administration OF the
United States. Except SO far as
it was necessary TO protect under
International law the property and
/ persons of American citizens legiti-
mately residing there, 1 should leave
the opposing factions to settle the ques-
tion of sovereignty for themselves"
The resolution was referred to the
committee on foreign affairs.
II Morrill, addressed the senate on the
I tariff question. His speech was de.
voted mainly to comparison of prac
tices in this country with those of Great
Britain on the question of the tariff
and the industrial conditions of the two
countries anu to a criticism of the
Democratic party for a tendency to fol
low English precedents. At the close
of Morrill's speech the senate went into
executive session after which it ad
iourned.
