New 7 ork with the sailors of the
old monitor Nantucket on board.
The Nantucket has been turned
over to the North Carolina State
authorities for use by the Naval

not unlikely that the Kearsarge

precautionary measure in anticipas
ton of another revolution there,

A series of embarrassing and
provoking incidents is preventing
the United States from furnishing
speedy protection TO the extensive.
American interests in Brazil ems
dangered by the revolutionary out
break. The cruiser Charleston is
delayed in sailing from Montevideo
by an accident co her steering gear;
the cruiser Detroit has been
stopped in her voyage to Brazilian
water OH account of the discovery
that it was necessary for her to
comply with certain conditions
preliminary to her final acceptance
by the Government, and the cruiser
Newark cannot leave Norfolk for
Rio until Sunday or Monday.
These delays under existing cir
cumstanoes are decidedly embars
RAISING.
The Charleston arrived at Mon
tovideo yesterday and her COM
mander found orders there direct
inz ''To proceed with dispatch" to
Rio. This morning a dispatch was
received at the Navy department
from the commander, Capt. 81. F.
Picking, stating that the Charles
toms steering gear had broken
down and that it would be necess
sary to coal before leaving for
Brazilian waters.
1t is probable that nothing will
be accomplished in the House be-
fore next Tuesday. This is the view
of the situation taken by Mr.
| Tucker, of Virginia, Who has
charge of the bill to repeal the
Federal election laws. After the
/ House adjourned to-day he said to
a reporter; owe shal. endeavol
again tomorrow to get the elecs
ton law repeal bill before the
| House, but our real expectation is
that nothing will be accomplished
| before Tuefday. 1t looks now as il
We should be unable to secure q
quorum this week, and as Monday
has been declared a holiday, noth~
ing can be done then. Col. ike
| Hill, the deputy Sergeant-at.
Arms, has reported that most o.
the answers to bis telegrapbic sum
mons read: "Will Manday dc? As
the senders in all probability won'l
come earlier, the colonel says he
has notified them that Monday vii
do.
