They Are Against the Administration on
the Hawaiian Question.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-Commander
Picking, at Rio Janeiro, telegraphs that
Consul Berke at Pernambuco wants a
vessel as precautionary measure.
Martial law has been declared, but all is
quiet. There is not much attempt on the
part OF officials in the navy department
to conceal the satisfaction felt ct the turn
events have taken in Hawaii. The navy
has been rather out OF sympathy with
the administrations policy. No intima-
ton can be secured from the White
House or from the state department as
to the probable time OF sending the Ha-
waiian papers to the senate.
The Policy Abandoned.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-There is a we'll
defined belief in diplomatic circles that
the attempt of the administration to re-
store the Hawaiian queen to the throne
has been abandoned.
Prepared for Defense.
WASHINGTON, Dec. .13.-The navy de-
partment today received dispatch from
Admiral Irwin at Honolulu. dated De-
cember 4, brought by the Oceanic to San
Francisco. The provisional government
has q Thousand men under arms, and the
palace is prepared for defense.
Two Letters Missing.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-It appears that
two letters to Minister Stevens from Sec
rotary Blaine on Hawaiian affairs are
missing, and this is delaying the sending
Of the Hawaiian correspondence to the
senate. 1t is claimed that in these Stew
ems was instructed to foster annexation.

New YORK, Dec. ia circular, assert
ing that edible ocean fishes along our
coast line are becoming scarce, calling
attention to the importance of arresting
the diminution OF the finny tribe, recon-
mending that the causes be ascertained
and urging the finding and application OF
remedy, was widely circulated. The
signatures were those OF we'll known citi-
zens. The circular invited those who
are interested to attend conference of
the commissioners of fisheries of the
state of New York at No. 81 Broadway,
at 10 O'Clock today. Secretary E. P.

New York's Union League Club.

New YORK, Dec. 1.-two tickets are
now posted at the Union League Club for
the election of nominating committee
to take place today. Neither represents
any issue, there being none. 1t is quite
probable that both will be partly success
iul. The first one posted bore the name
Of Daniel F. Appleton, Col. S. V. r. Kru-
ger, Thomas c, Acton, Donald Mckay,
Clarence S. Day and Vim. H. Fuller. The
other has these names upon it: Col. I.
c. James, Thomas Denny, A. d. Juil-
lard, Lowell Lincoln, Lorenzo Wood
house. w. Hull Wickman and W. H.
Hollister. Little interest is taken in the
election and comparatively few votes
will be cast. The committee will renom-
mate all the officers who are willing to
serve the club longer. Gen. Horace Por-
ter will again be chosen president.

PEIxOTO's BRUTALITY.

The Crew Of French Ship Ordered to be
Shot without Trial.
LONDON, Dec. 14.-A dispatch to the
Times from Lisbon says the steamship
Nile, which left Rio Janeiro on December
5, has arrived at Pernam buco, bringing
news Of the French steamer Parahy ba.
Advices say the crew was shot without
trial, although there was no proof that
they intended to join the insurgents
under Mello. Incensed at the injusti ce
OF the sentence, the condemned sailors,
at the moment OF execution, cried in one
voice, Long live Mello!" This pro-
duced such an impression on the govern
ment troops that the party firing tried
not to hit the prisoners and only five
we're killed. The soldiers were ordered
to FIRE again, but refused to do 30. The
remainder of the Parahyba's crew was
therefore imprisoned. The public was
shocked at the brutality OF the sentence
imposed and greatly incensed against
President Mello.
De CANA Declared . Traitor.
BUoNos AYREs, Dec. "A dispatch
from Rio says that President Peixoto

The River Ovehows and Causes a Great
Amount OF Damage.
CoLFAx, Wash, Dec. 12.-The North
Palouse river has overlooked its banks
and flooded the north end of Colfax.
Last night about 10 O'Clock word was re.
ceived from Palouse that the dam there
had washed out, releasing large volume
OF water. By midnight the water was
rising rapidly and by O'Clock had risen
ten feet, overlooking fiat in which we're
100 residences in the north end, taking
out the heavy wagon bridge and boom bv
which a million feet of logs were held.
The water had invaded the houses, the
occupants of which had to be taken out
in boats. Many outhouees, fences and
small bridges washed away. The city
water works supply and pumping station
are inundated. Reports from down the
river are that a number of cattle are
drowned. The town OF Elberton, four
teen miles from here is completely inun-
dated and damage quite heavy. It is re-
ported that three persons are drowned,
but the report is not confirmed. Drift
wood has lodged against the railroad
bridge and it is feared it will go out.

1t 10 Against tho Policy of Washington
and 10 nersOn-Frye After BlOunt.
WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator Frye
today spoke on Hears resolution calling
for the Hawaiian correspondence. Frye
turned to Blount's report and said he did
not know how far the report was before
the senate, but it WAS before the country
in its entirety, and also before the house
Of representatives in its entirety. There
was, therefore, no delicacy in referring
to it, as it was public property. "Now,
wish to say" said Frye with great
gravity and much emphasis; Sin relation
to that report that, in my judgment, 1t is
a most dangerous report on which q
United States senator can afford to make
a serions attack on the character OF any
private citizen OF the United. States
II affirm" continued Frye, that
Blount, in this report, has not written
one single unvarnished line OF truth nor
given one unprecedented opinion, nor
written one impartial judgment. lnfor-
nation has come into the senate this
morning which says that the purpose Of
the administration is to charge that
Stevens was party to the corruption
employed to break down the Queens
government and establish the revolution
ary government"
Gray requested Frye's authority for
such statement, but the latter said he
was not at liberty to give it.
Vest warmly defended Blount, saying
purer man publicly and privately had
never appeared in the arena Of American
politics. The crime committed by the
president, for which impeachment was
threatened, was that he did not favor
annexation Of the islands. If that was
crime Vest himself was criminal, and
10 we're majority OF the American peo-
pie. Vest attacked annexation as OPP
posed to the traditional policy of Wash.
ington, Jefferson, jackson, Buchanan
and now Cleveland.
He said: "As understand the condi-
ton of affairs in Hawaii, the provisional
government is the de fscto government.
1t is today a de facto government, and
any assault upon it by armed force on
the part OF the United States or any other
country must be an act of war, which
can alone be brought about by action Of
Congress. l do not understand that
Gresham meant that armed force would
he employed" Coming to the instruc-
tons to Willis, Vest said: "If it should
turn out that these instructions were to re-
store the Queen by armed force no one
will deprecste it and resist the doctrine
10 any extremity more than myself. |
repeat, it would be an act of war"

to the people of the United States to pre-
vent 10 great crime against liberty and

air board of awards has struck balance
on awards, disclosing for the first time
that foreign exhibitors, will secure sixty
three per cent of the prizes. while Amer
lean exhibitors will receive only thirty
seven per. cent. Chairman Thatcher says
this showing will put an end to the criti-
cisms made by foreigners and taken up in
this country that foreign exhibitors were
not receiving full consideration. 1t is
anticipated that American exhibitors will
now be heard from, and will feel that the
board has not been sufficiently patriotic
towards home exhibitors. but Thatcher
say B he and his associates have been gov
erned by the findings Of the judges and
the latter are responsible for giving for
eigners the bulk of the prizes.

NEw YoRK, Dec. 12.-Hops are uuiet
and unchanged. The Commercial Bull
letin, reviewing the situation, says the
market remains in a somewha uncertain
shape and is rather puzzling to everyone
connected with it. Advices from Eng
land stated that the British market sui-
fered somewhat from late shipments to
that quarter and prices have receded s to
10 g. on Pacifics. In the face of this it
turns out that several hundred
bales of Pacifcs were recently
purchased here at 81 to &c by
a very exacting exporter. German ad-
vices, however, quote the continental
markets as stronger, with values ad-
vanced about ten marks at Nuremberg
during about one weeks time. One Pc
culisr feature was q report that Pacific
Coast hops are being sold in London at
prices below those quoted at primary
sources Of supply.
