From MontesanO Vidette:

From Montesano Vidette:
a very unusual sight was witnessed
Wednesday evening, when owing to the
remarkable clearness OF the atmosphere
the Cascade mountains were plainly seen.
Quite number OF friends were delight
fully entertained last Saturday evening by
Judge Irwin, the occasion being his birth
day. Games OF various kinds were in
dulged in, after which an elegant lunch
was served.
Never have we seen the northern sky
so beautifully illuminated as last night
about seven O'Clock. The phenomenon
was the aurora borealis, not often seen
in this part OF the country. 1t was a
magnificent sight and lighted up the
heavens for some time with all the colors
Of the rainbow blended together.

RIO DE JANEmo. Jan. 29-Tbis hiss been
one Of the NEST exciting days Rio has ex-
perionced since the commencement Of hos
tilities. The United States naval feet sta
toned in the harbor has furnished the ex-
citsment. The cause Of all the trouble was
ths treatment which three American barks
were subjected TO last Saturday by the in
discriminate fusilate from the insurgent
warshiIs. Saturday while lying az anchor
all three vessels were endangered by chance
shots fired by the insurgents. The three
captains appealed for protection 10 the
United States wafships, and requested that
the barks be given escort 10 thor wharves.
Admiral Benham promised he would do
everything In his power 90 afford the full
est protection. Accordingly Admi al Ben

ask Cana To have an end put TO reckless.

humor when the ofiaeT arrived, ana with
mrny ordinations Of impatience listened

When the officer bad finished his state
ment DA Gsma said. in a sharp tone: 1T
is not my fault American ship captains

upon the insurgents Early this morning

Application on Behalf OF the KaiGhts OF
Labor Argued.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-Areuments were
heard to-day by Judge Cox, Of the district
supreme court, on application of Grand
Master Workman Sovereign, OF the X. Of
l.. for an order restraining Carlisle from
issuing bond'. a. proposed. Applicants
fo' the injunction vera rep eSsnted by
Senator Allen, OF Nsbrasks; Judge Jere
Wilson; G. g. Cole of Dss hoinss IoWa,
and J. W. Mills, of Denver. all of whom
took part in the argument. The court was
asked to compel Secretary Carlisle 20 show
cause why the writ asked should not be
granted.
Judge Wilson referred 10 the fact that
there is no other Judicial tribunal to which
applicants had resort under tue cifcum-
stances; they declared that no other bust
ness would sustain so much injury or dam
age By the bond issue as that Of the
miners who form a large percentage OF the
100000 or more members OF the knights Of
Labor. Though the secretary, in Rnnouno-
ing that bonds would be issued, cited the
act Of Jan. H. 1875. providing for specie
payment resumption. "a authority for the
action. neither this act. nor that OF July
Ia, 1870. authorizing the refunding of the
national debt, conferred such authority.
Counsel Mills then read the application,
Ii recites that the proposed bond issue IL
illegal because IL 10 not intended 10 redeem
legal tender notes; that the act Of July IA.
1876. exp essly inhibtts further increase OF
the bonded debt. while ths amendment of
May 81, 1873. withdrsws the power ~ re-
deem any more legal tenders; that there is
al eady ia the treasury 100000 in gold.
which may be used for the pm pose for
which there is need of bonds 20 be sold;
that there is no Law requiring the mainten-
ance Of the gold reserve. Judge Cox an
nounoed that he would decide to- morrow
or Wednesday whether TO issue a rule on
Secretary Carlisle to show cause why the
Injunction should be not granted.
