NEW 4,ARIFF BILL.
The Measure May Call Forth Long
Debate i'll Congress,

NbNeN '' No'3 t'7s
WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-The republican
members of the committee on ways and
means will not meet their democratic COM
mittee associates until Friday of this
week At that time the tabular state
ment showing the rates in the present and
the proposed new law will be completed.
With this data in hand, the minority COM
mitteemen will be better able to under
stand the nature of tue changes made by
the majority.
About the middle of next week the bill
will be taken up for discussion in the COM
mittee. 1t will be read by paragraph and
the republicans will then offer their
amendments. After the bill has been
thoroughly considered by the full commit
tee the republicans will prepare their re-
port and present it to the house.
Early Debate Doubtful
The expectation that debate will COM
mence upon the measure shortly after the
meeting of congress is not likely to he
realized
1t is doubtful il the democrats will fin
ish their report III time to present it to
uue lull COullnlbIee DclOFe next MOnlay.
Under the rules the republicans will have
ten days in which to prepare their report,
which will delay matters until the 18th
of December.
As the house will probably adjourn Fri
day Dec % for the holiday recess, it may
be fairly presumed that only few days.
debate, if any, can be had, under the
most favorable circumstances, during the
first month Of the session.
If the house does not reassemble before
the 4th of January the bill is not likely to
be sent to tho senate before February.
There it may remain in commit tee fort
night, and il u month be given to its con-
siderarion in open senate, which is re-
garded rs moderate estimate, it will be
seen that even under fa' orable circum-
stances the day named in the bill Tor
many of its provisions to take effect, the
1st of March, 1894, will probably find the
bill still in congress,

SORRY FOR stanton
All the Foreign Admirals
Saluted Mello.

Inc American Officers Recall Created
Great Surprise and Universal Re-
gret in azil-No Grounds for
Harsh Criticism.
NEW York, Nov 29.-The steamer
Maskelyne, Captain Gregory, has just ar
rived from Brazilian ports. She left Rio
Janeiro on the 9th of November, and
brought as one of her passengers a sailor
OF the United States steamer Charleston,
which was anchored in the hurbor when
Admiral Stanton dipped his flag to Mello,
ard received the Brazilian revolutionist
aboard his ship
The Charleston man said he was tired
OF yellow fever country and came here
on leave of absence to breath pure air once
more.
The Charleston, he said, was in the har-
Dor of Rio when Admiral o. f. Stanton
committed the breach ofnat.onal etiquetts
for which he has been recalled.
All Foreign Vessels Saluted MeIlo.
The Charleston "tar," who said his
name was james Letford, states that there
can be no question as to the American ad-
miraPs action although he did nothing
more than every other foreign vessel that
entered the bay. But that he did salute
the revolutionary commander with full
knowledge of what he was doing, says the
sailor, there can be no doubt.
AS he steamed down the bay, the Amsr
ican cjlors were sent to the peak, and his
guns belched forth.
According to the man-of-war's-man
there was no other boat in the river which
flew the Brazilian flag, that did not be-
long to, or was not under the command of
Mello, so an error could not have been
committed

Surprised at His Recall.

No comment was created there, he says
as other foreign warships had done the
same thing, and Admiral Stanton's recall
created the greatest surprise to the Bra
lillian city and to the commanders aud
men on other vessels stationed there.
According to the officers of the Maske-
lyme, who were told OF the sinking of the
Javary, her loss would not occasion Mello
much Inconvenience, for they say she had
been floating about the harbor for some
time partially disabled, something appar-
emily being wrong with her machinery.
Mello Generally Favored.
A passenger, who refused to give his
name, came up on the Maskelyne from
Pernambuco and stated that Mello was
generally favored in the city from whence
he came, not because the people opposed a
republican form OF government, but for
the reason that they hated Peixoto per-
sonally for his despotic manners.
He said that it was also generally be-
lieved in Brazil that Mello was receiving
support from Europe and that his feet
was met off shore by European steamers
and supplied with fuel, provisions and
ammunition

sympathize With Stanton.

In commenting upon the Stanton affair,
the Rio News of Oct 81 contains the fol-
lowing leading editorial:
"The kilograms received here on the
S6th of the recall of Admiral O. F. Stan
ton, commander-n-chie of the United
States naval forces at this station, occa-
stoned a general surprise. 1t was not
known that the Brazilian government
had complained of him, nor was 1t known
that any breach of etiquette had been
committed. We have no disposition to
discuss question which can only be
settled by the authorities at Washington;
we have besides only one side of the case,
and the other cannot be known until Ad-
miral Stanton makes his official reply to
the charges made. All that can be said is
that he is accused of receiving and return-
ing calls which were of the briefest chlr-
acter and were devoid OF all political in
terest.
No Ground for Harsh Criticisms.
1.-The relations between the officers OF
other natonalities and the insurgent
chief probably led to the impression that
no importance was attached to these calls.
Whether an error was made or not, we do
not presume to say, but in view of the fact
that an officer of long experience, unblem-
ished character and good Judgment is
concerned, there can certainly be no
ground for the harsh criticisms on his
conduct which some of the partisans Of
the government have seen fit to make.
That no intentional slight or offense was
committed, no one can dispute, for Ad-
miral Stanton had only just arrived and
could have formed no opinion in the con,

SOME NEW BUILDINGS,
TESTING THE VESUVIUS,
Six of the Seven Shots Were Satisfactu

Six OF the Seven Shots Were Satisfactory.
The tests with the pneumatic tubes of the
cruiser Vesuvius we're continued at the navy
yard dock at Port Royal, s. c., yesterday. The
vessel did not move down to the lower hnrbor,
because it was desired TO test certain important
observations made from data acquired by a
comparison of the result of preliminary prac-
tice with the results obtained during present ex-
periments. In the preliminary practice range
curves had been calculated from valve settings.
In the test shots were plotted not only from
the valve setting. but by the loss Of pressure
in the firing reservoir. When viewed so sep
arately either of these gave a complete system
Of range curves but when the two were
placed side by side they seemed to indicate that
under different conditions different range
curves were obtained from the same valve
setting. 1t was to obtain further data on this
point which determined the board to continue
stationary practice at the naval yard before be-
ginning the more difficult test in the lower har-
Dor.
Beginning shortly before noon seven shots
were fired with even more satisfactory results
than any yet obtained. Two shots fired from
the same gun consecutyely were absolutely
accurate. Had the tests been made or the
snore the she'll would have fallen in the same
hole. The first shot fired for a range of 1000
yards fell directly on the line. The tests were
made for ranges Of 1000, 800, 400 and /, 800
yards.
Speaking Of the days work an officer said
that it would be misleading to state that every
shot had been entirely satisfactory. One of the
shots had, he said, been disappointing, but the
remaining six shots had given the most salts
factory results vet obtained.
The naval tug Wahneta, that left Norfolk
Tuesday. arrived in the harbor yesterday after
noon at 5o'clock. She came up to the navy yard, ,
where Ensign W: l.. Dodge. in command. re-
ported to Capt. Sicard of the board and after
ward to the commandant of the naval station.
The Wahneta brought the buoys which will
mark the course in the lower harbor. The fuses
to be employed in firing line shells were shipped
Yesterday and will probably be received today.
Yesterday afternoon an excursion boat crowded
with citizens from Beaufort and Port Royal
visited the Philadelphia and Vesuvius, and the
guests were shown every courtesy by the OFF,
GERS Of the two vessels. 1t is probable that the
Vesuvius will not 60 down to the lower harbor
before Monday.

THE PoPE's CIRCULAR.
An Address Explaining the Appointment OF
Mgr. Satolli.

An Address Explaining the Appointment Of
Mgr. Satolli.
The holy congregation Of the propaganda
has addressed the following declaration to the
Roman Catholic archbishops in the United
States:
Most Hlustrious and Most Reverend Sirs:
The supreme pontiff has many reasons Of sad
ness on account of the distresses which the i'm
pudent endeavors Of wicked men are trying to
bring upon Christianity, especially in Europe.
On the other hand, it is a great consolation to
him to see the increase of Catholicism, with
Gods aid, elsewhere in the world. This is es-
pecially true of the great republic. for where,
scarcely a century ago, there was hardly YES
tige of Catholicity, we now see everywhere, as
1t were, a new progeny Of the church flourish
ing in the great number of Its faithful, in its
institutions Of government, its orders and
hierarchy, and its large senate of bishops. En-
couraged. therefore. the pontiff not only follows
with great interest the things pertaining to the
good Of religion In these parts, but has tried TO
show plainly his great solicitude. When the
university at Washington was opened. il pleased
the pontiff to send prelate to congratulate the
bishops on the event and to encourage them to
still greater works.
Now, in the fourth century after the shores
Of America. separated by the ocean from the
old world. were first discovered; and while the
brated in festivals, the pontiff, who is a great
admirer Of the republic, delegates the same
prelate, man OF the highest dignity, to testify
to the pope's regard for this people The care
Of the most thoughtful pontiff has not rested
here. Since growth has brought the church in
America to the stage OF maturity, in which il
ought TO be favored with those institutions
with which the church has fourished elsewhere
the pontif does not desire that there should be
any obstacle to supplying those aids Of Chris
tianity whereby there may be closer union with
the center and whereby Christian unity NAV
the more greatly increase
, His holiness, therefore, orders the holy con-
gregation OF the propaganda to signify to the
bishops OF the United States that he has deter.
mined to appoint the venerable Francis, tituiar
OF Lepanto, apostolic delegate TO
the United States. This, moreover according
TO the custom OF the church. seemed appropri-
ate 70 the state of dignity which the Catholic
religion has attained in America and especiallv
on account OF other peculiar circumstances.
Therefore, doubtless, you illustrious preiatcs
VIII receive joyfully what the ponti6 has
thought IL well to do for the honor and good Of
the church. While informing you Of the most
wise determination Of his holiness We exprsss a
nrm hope that you viii diligently assist The dis
Insuisned man whom the pastor Of the whole
church has made delegate among You in eyery.

A Night OF Terror and Devastation on the
Little Island.
The shocks experienced at Zante Thursday

was devastated. To add to the terror Of the
inhabitants thunder storm prevailed at the
time Of the shocks. The rain fell in torrents
and was accompanied by large hailstones. The
binding flashes Of lightning. the roaring
thunder and the rumbling beneath the surface
OF the swsying earth made the people panic
stricken, and many are now hopelessly insane.
