THE soLoNs IN THE SENATE.
Considerable Talk But Little Business
Was Done.

Considerable Talk But Little Business
Was Done.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.-In the Senate,
Morgan of Alabama presented a petition
of citizens of his state in favor of the re-
peal of the Sherman act. He said it was
one of the petitions ssent out by the New
York bankers and he considered it q
mandate from them and not from the peo-
pie OF Alabama.
Voorhees, moved that the repeal bill be
taken up.
After sharp passage between him and
Platt OF New York, who wished to make
a motion for an amendment to the rules
providing for clotu-e, the latter yielded
to George of Mississippi, who addressed
the Senate in opposition to the bill.
When George finished, Voorhees, moved
that the sergeant-at-arms be directed to
enforce the attendance of absent sena-
tors.
Doiph (Republican) of Oregon, sug-
gested that the sergeant-at-arms be dl-
rected to request instead OF ssenforce'
the attendance OF senators.
When it was announced there was q
quorum, Teller said he desired to state he
did not answer when his name was called,
because it occurred to him he would be
recognizing rule never recognized in the
Senate-that the presiding officer had a
right to call Senator on roll call unless
the Senator addressed the chair.
The vice president informed the Sena-
tor from Colorado that he had not counted
him.
George then yielded the floor to Gray,
Democrat, OF Delaware, who spoke in adj
yocacy OF the repeal of the bill.
After a short executive session, the
Senate adjourned.

L. E. HoLDEN ON LEAD ORE.
If the Duties Are Reduced, Miners Wages
Must Be Decreased.

Must Be Decreased.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2o.-The public
hearings before the Ways and Means
committee was concluded today. 1t is
the intention of the committee to at once
commence work upon the new tariff bill.
l.. E. Holden, of Cleveland, spoke in
favor of retaining the existing duties on
lead ore. He declared if the duties were
to be reduced the miners wages would
necessarily be decreased.
Hugo n. Camp, of New York, insisted
on the retention of the present duties on
lead ore, in the interest OF producers and
miners. He protested against the treat
ment of lead ore as raw material.
Among the other industries represented
were thread, paints and colors, corsets,
raw ivory, and piano forte worries.
T. J. Remer, of New York, complained
that the duty on silk was too hlgh-so
high, IN fact, that the foreign manuiac-
turers of silk goods could not be brought
into competition with American silks.
He admitted, however, that the foreign
manufacturers of silk paid 90 per cent.
less wages than those paid in this country.
At the afternoon session OF the COM
mittee the carpet industry was discussed,
as well as matches, brushes, tobacco, bur-
lap and German iooking-glass.
Congressman Mccall OF Massachusetts
spoke of the necessity of deciding now
the date on which the new tariff law will
go into effect. He said it would do much
to restore confidence, and suggested
Jan. 1, 1895. as a reasonable time.

RIO MUST SURRENDER
OR BIZ BONBARDED.
The Ultimatum Sent to the Au-
thorities at Rio de Janeiro.
UTMOST CONSERVATION.
Citizens Fleeing to the Country with
Their Belongings.
To Hold Out, Simply Means Destruction,
with Nothing to Be Gained by
Piexoto-santos to Be Car
ried by Assault.

LONDON, Sept. 20.-Admiral Dsmellers
at Rio de Janeiro, announcing his inten-
ton to Immediately and thoroughly bonn
bard that city with all his ships unless ID
promptly surrenders.
This information comes from the agenb
of leading banking house in this city
with large Brazilian interests and is be-
lieyed to be thoroughly reliable. The
dispatch adds Rio is in the utmost con-
sternation and dismay.
Citizens are fleeing to the country with
such of their belongings as they can
carry; merchants are packing their goods
IN cellars preparatory to following them.
Consular representatives of the powers
are using their utmost efforts to dissuade
the rebel commander from carrying out
the threat, but so far without avail. A
heavy pressure is being brought to bear
on the local authorities 70 induce them to
surrender, as it is considered Jolly to re-
sist, the forts being unable to do any
thing against the rebel gunboats, and the
land artillery is unable to reach them
from the shelter behind the islands in the
bay, from which they threw shells into
the city.
It is recognized that to hold out means
simply destruction, without any compen-
sating advantage to Peixoto. Meantime
the three rebel vessels reached Santos,
and, after q sharp fight, succeeded in
landing strong force of marines, and at
the time the dispatch was sent were en-
deavoring to take the city by assault,
with probabilities of success.
Viscount d. Arinos, Brazilian minister,
received kilograms last night which made
no mention OF the success of the rebels,
hence he is of the opinion that the gov
eminent officers at Rio are not interfered
with and that President Piexoto has not
left Rio De Jariero. The minister does
believe the news in regard to the ulti-
matum said to have been delivered by
Admiral DeMello, and does not consider
the situation alarming. He admits, how
ever, that of late there has been consider
able feeling against the president, it be-
ing alleged that he had violated the con-
stitution.
The present agitation, according to the
minister, IS probably caused in view of
the fact that the presidential election
takes place in March. The minister re-
ceived a telegram today thar the bank OF
Brazil and other banks at Rio were open
and transacting business and that ex-
change had also been quoted TO-DAY.

TO ANNEX HAWAII.
Proposition to Make the Islands Part
of California.

Proposition to Make the Islands Part
of California.
WASHINGTON, Sept. Ca quiet little
dinner was given Claus Spreckels today.
There were present Spreckels, Oxnard
brothers, the big sugar men, Senators
Allison, Hale, Gray, Hawley, White of
Louisiana, Perkins of California, and
German. After the dinner Perkins OBJ
served that it might be good idea to an
mex the Hawaiian islands, not to the
United States as a separate state, but to
the state of California. He pointed cut
several islands from thirty to forty miles
distant from the coast that might be an
nexed and suggested that were Hawaii to
be annexed California would take care of
it.
Allison said that he had some such an
idea.
Gray and Hawley thought favorable of
it, and of another suggestion of Perkins
that Congress might pass law annexing
the islands to California and get the Cali
fornia legislature to sanction such an
act.
Spreckels is understood to have said
nothing, but as Perkins is his bosom
friend it is supposed he approves of, if he
did not suggest, the idea. Developments
are looked for.
