WASHINGTON, March 31.-H the revenue cutter
Rush. on her trip from San Francisco to Homo
lulu, made an ordinary rate of speed. Mr.. Blonnt,
President Clevelands special commissioners. is
now on the Hawaiian Islands and his investigation
into the condition of affairs there has been begun.
The story said TO have been brought to San
Francisco by the United States steamer Alliance,
that Japan was harboring designs upon the
islands in case the United States should conclude
not to take possession or control of them, made
but little impression here. At the Japanese lega-
ton II was said for Minister Tateno, in response
to inquiries, that the legation had no information
whatever upon the subject.

Important Pension Ruling.

WASHINGTON. March 31.-Assistant Secretary
Bussey to-day rendered decision in the matter
of the claim of Joseph p. Smith for an increase
Of pension on the ground OF new disabilities, in
which he overruled the act of the Commissioner
of Pensions in allowing an attorneys fee for
$40. The claim for increase was made under
the act OF June %, 1890, and the Assistant Sec
retary holds that all such claims should be
treated as strictly increase claims, whether new
disabilities are claimed or not. for which fee OF
only 81 can be allowed. 1t is said that probably
two hundred thousand claims will be effected by
this decision.

sistant Treasurer OF the United States at New
York having expired to-day that important
Office is to be placed under the control of Treas
urer Nebeker until an assistant treasurer for
New York is appointed. This adds greatly to the

Albany, is at Cobbs. Charles S. King, of Indiana,
is at the National.
Kenesaw Mountain Landis. Secretary Gres-
hams private secretary, has returned to Wash

Treasury officials recall with satisfaction, in
view OF recent disclosures. that only two weeks
ago the Secretary of the Treasury decided that
the government could not in any way recognize
warehouse receipts as being in the puryiew OF
the customs authorities. 1t is stated that
$500. 1000 of these forged warehouse receipts are
in circulation, and If the government had recog-
nized them il would now be partly responsible
for them. Much pressure has recently been
brought on the Treasury Department to that
end.
1t is now estimated that the public debt state
ment to be issued tomorrow VIII show q gain of
available cash during the month of 81 100000.
AS far as the Treasury Department Is advised
no gold for export will be carried by outgoing
steamers from New York tomorrow.
Although the regulations which will govern in
the opening Of the Cherokee Strip have not been
perfected, yet it can be stated that a system is
being perfected by HOke Smith, which will en-
tirely do away with the priority resulting from
physical seizure.
The Columbian stamped envelopes were to-day
placed on sale for the first time. The principal
feature of the design OF the stamp impression is
q spread eagle. The denominations correspond in
color to those OF the adhesive stamps.

WASHINGTON, March 31.-The original drafts
of the Declaration of Independence and the Con-
stitution of the United States will not be sent to
the worlds fair. Secretary Gresham has de-
cided that the risk is too great. and the precious
old parchments will not be exposed to the perils
OF the journey and the chances of mishap while
on exhibition. A railway journey, even under
the most fortunate circumstances and the most
careful handling of instruments would neces-
sarily involve a certain amount OF wear and tear
on the fragile parchments, and they Will not be
disturbed from their long rest in the Department
Of State. The most elaborate precautions will

papers which will be removed 10 Chicago about

ON BRAZILIAN AFFAIRS.
SenOr Mendonca Believes MeIIo's Sit
uatiOn TO he Desperate.

At the very moment that the green and
yellow colors of the Brazilian government
are hoisted at the masthead of the steamers
Ell Cid and Brittania the two vessels will
receive a new christening. The FL Cid will
in future be known as the Nictheroy in
recognition of the gallant defense of the
city of Rio Janeiro by the militia from the
state of which Nictheroy is the capital
The name America will be given to the
Brittania, as one more in keeping with the
national sentiments Of the Brazilian people
MelIOs's Situation Growing Desperate.
II Admiral Mello has bombarded Rio this
week the fact is still unknown at the lega-
ton here, where constant communicat ton
is had with the Peixoto government. Senior
Mendonca now disbelieves the report which
at first seemed to have a strong basis of
probability. According to the information
he has, Mellos situation seems daily to
grow more desperate. Hemmed in the har-
Dor of Rio like rat in a pit, his ammuni-
ton nearly exhausted, his forces demoral-
lied and himself unable to escape in any
one of his more pretentious ships, his capit-
ulation, accordin9 to the latest advices
from Rio, seems to be but a matter of days
The provisional government set up by him
on the island of st. GATHERINGS is next ex-
pected to fall, for the land forces which
Peixoto has concentrated there are power
full enough to crush out the opposition in a
rev hours.
Expects the Capture of st. Catherine's
The capture Of st. GATHERINGS. the only
point of l1nd in the republic held by Mello,
Is the news which Minister Mendonca is
now awaiting. Peixoto's troops at St.
GATHERINGS will be commanded by Gen.
Argallo an officer of veteran experience.
The troops were sent there from three
pofhts-from Rio Grande do Sui on the
south, from the interior and from Rio
Janeiro They are well equipped, well Of
ficered and full of enthusiasm for their
cause.
1t is believed that when St. Catherine
falls Mello will endeavor to escape TO some
foreign land, where he may remain in
safety. The Aquidaban his flagship, is too
crippled to move. and the monitor Jauray
could only be towed out of the harbor un-
der a calling fire from the forts. which
would probably destroy her. He could es-
cape only, Senior Mendonca says in one of
his torpedo boats. and then only under
cover of darkness and aided by fortuitous
circumstances.

No COnfirmntory Reports.

The report of an outbreak of the Navahoe
Indians cannot be confirmed al the Indian
bureau. Commissioner Browning discredits
1t, as, had an outbreak occurred, Lieut.. f.
H. Pummer. the agent at the reservation.
would have notified the Indian office
The War Department has received no
news.
The Nayahoe reservation is situated in the
northeastern corner of Arizona and the
northwestern corner of New Mexico These
Indians are of a rowing disposition and i'm
provident nature and a large percentage of
them is always Off the reservation They
have given the surrounding settlers troubIe
at times and have been guilty of MANY
crimes and misdemeanors
But raids and robOerieS are often charged
to them of which they are innocent Al
present. the agent has recently reDorted
they are in the very worst condition This
is due partly to a succession of dry sea sons
starvation of sheep and ponies and failure
OF the wool crop. They are scattered over
IL. 600 square miles of territory and MANY of
them live over 100 miles from the reserya-
ton.
The commissioner of Indian affairs is in
cline1 to believe that the report is the work
of some sensation monger. Still he admits
that an uprising may have taken place and
for some reason the department has failed
to receive notification of 1t.

DIED IN HIS SLEEP.
b. Perry Collins, a Young Washing
tonfau. Asphyxfated at st. Louis.

ST. LOUIS. No, Nov. u.--At 6 O'Clock
this morning the attaches of the st. James
Hotel detected a strong odor Of gas on the
third floor, and examination located the
leak in room No. q. the door Of which was
locked. A ladder was hoisted to the trsne
som. and the porter saw two men lying ca
the single bed in the room. The door was
quickly broken open, and hasty examina-
tion showed that the men had been dead sew
eral hours. Their names We're b. Perry Col
lins, aged nineteen. of Washington ID. c.,
and J. Salmon, aged twenty-five, Of New
York.
The men were last seen alive at O'Clock
yesterday morning, when, after a night OF
dissipation, they entered the hotel and were
shown to their room. At 10 O. oclock yester-
day morning the employees raped on their
door, but the men refused 20 get up. Later
IN the afternoon a knock at the door
brought no response. and the men were
supposed to be sleeping.
When found this morning both men were
lying IN single bed, their arms clasped
about each other in an affectionate en-
brace and their features as composed as
If asleep. The gas was pouring from the
single jet in the room, the door, windows
and Iansom of which were tightly closed.
The gas fixture is an old-style affair
without any stop cock, and il is supposed
the men, in turning off the flame, twisted
the valve beyond the safety point.
Both men were connected with the ao-
vertising department of the Old Dominion
Cigarette Company.
Mr.. b. Perry Collins, news of whose
death in St Louis was received here this
morning, is we'll and favorably known in
this city, where he had lived the largest
part Of his life. He was a son of Mr.. Benz
II. Collins, chief of division in the internal
revenue bureau. who lives at 6l2 18th
street.
Young Collins was about twenty-one
years of age. He graduated from St
Johns Alexandria. and afterward attended
a course at Emerson Institute. After leav-
ing school he entered upon business
career, commencing first with the Wilson
Biscuit Company. About a year ago he
secuted a position with the American To-
bacCo Company as an agent for plug to-
bacco. Later he was transferred TO the
cigarette department and since then he
had been on the road as a travelling man
most of the time.

POST OFFICE EXPENSES.
Facts From the Report of the First
Assistant Postmaster General.

First Assistant Postmaster General
Frank H. Jones has submitted his annual
report. Under recent legislation the follow
ing additional duties have been assigned
to the division of salaries and allowances:
The adjustment of salaries and duties of
money order clerks at first and second
class post offices; money order clerks are
now paid at first and second-class offices
from the annual allowance for clerk hire,
while the apportionment for clerk hire On
money order account is limited. as hereto
fore, to the money order commissions &C
cruing at the respective offices.
The salaries of presidential postmasters
are required by act of Congress of March
3, 1888, to be adjusted annually instead CT
biennially, heretofore. In compliance
with this act the tenth annual adjustment
OF salaries was made upon the basis of the
gross receipts which accrued at the re-
spective offices for the four quarters ended
March 81, 1888, to take effect July i, 1893
The salaries of 1861 postmasters were re-
viewed. AS a result of this adjustment 15i
post offices were assigned to the first class
GA to the second and 2,5l5 to the third
class. The aggregate amount required to
pay the salaries of postmasters from July
i, 1893, is 1866. 700, being an increase Of
s27lS 500. as compared with the same item
July l, 1892. The total gross receipts at
presidential offices for the four quarters
ending March 81, 1893, amounted to $50, ,I67,-
2OO.9O, an increase over the preceding year
of SS,0O.227.S2. The report states that the
limitation of the allowances for rent, fuel
and light for third-class offices Is not in
the interest of good service, the depart
ment should have discretionary authority
to fix these, having in view the local con-
ditions. The act of March ?, 1889, making
provision for the classified ton and the fix
ing of the salaries of clerks and employees
attached TO first and second-class post Of
hces the present compensation of fourth
CLASS m
cure the best service. Following is a sum-
mary of the estimates for lS94-95:
Compensation to postmasters, ST. 80 COO;
clerks in post offices, SO. 100000: rent fuel
light, first and second-class Offices SS45 600:
do, third-class offices, S660. 900; incidentals
$4,000; advertising, first and second-class
offices. $1,000; rental of canceiing ma
chimes, s6O,OOO
the free delivery system in towns and
villages has not been success. The an
nual outlay of s10,N00,000 for this service is
not justified by the results. The system
should be discontinued at the close of this
year.
