BoUrELLE's BLUs TER.

Secretary Herbsrt's Explanation Does
Not Satisfy Him.
WASHINGTON, March 11.-Representa-
tive Boutelle of Maine tonight expressed
an opinion on the reply of Secretary
Herbert to the resolution asking by
what authority Mr.. Blount was placed
in charge Of the naval forces at Homo
lulu. Boulelle said
"The secretary in asserting the presi-
dents constitutional prerogative as
commander-in-chief of the army and
navy appears to lose sight of the fact
that such authority can be exercised
only in accordance with the law, and
the discretionary power invested in the
commander-in-c chief can no more be
delegated to an authorized person than
can the power of the president to ap-
prove bills or veto legislation. The
irrelevancy of few alleged precedents
is also obvious as the evidently labor
ious rsnsacking OF records to find them.
The secretary's letter entirely fails to
justify an act he must know ia fragrant
violation OF law, open contempt of the
explicit terms OF the navy regulations
and destructive of the fundamental
principles upon which the maint g.
nance of good order and military disci-
pline must depend"

The successful ehots are: John de

ST. JOHNS, N. B., March 1.-THE
steamer Briscoe, which left Hamburg
December 9th carrying cargo OF manure
and salt, lies in desperate straits 80
miles south OF Cape Race. Late this
forenoon lifeboat containing five men.
half starved and nearly frozen, arrived
at Cape Race signal station and brought
news of the disabled and long overdue
steamer. They left the Briscoe last Fri
day afternooB. Mate Mackay of the
Briscoe tells the following story:
Leaving Hamburg December 9th the
vessel was soon so disabled that we
we're compelled to put into Queens
town for repairs. Clearing February
1st, again we encountered the worst OF
weather and all our upper works were
badly smashed and everything that
would float washed overheard. Our
bow was crushed in, but owning to the
compartments and bulkheads the ves-
sci managed to float. We ran out OF
coal and were compelled to use every
thing that would keep the fires
going. March I'd the Uinda, from
Halifax for London, tried to tow US to
port. but the line parting she was forced
to abandon us. Again we resorted to

The tug IngrahRm and the coastwise

to find the disabled boat aud render all
the assistance possible. The Briscoe was
due at New York February 18th. She
has 65 men on board.

SAVANNAH, Ca, March 1.-THE re-
port Of the landing OF British troops at
Blue6elds in the Mosquito reservation
was confirmed today by the arrival of
the steamer Elliott, Capt. A. Brown.
Captain Brown saws tine Nicarsguans
entered Bluefelds February 25th and
26th. An armed force OF 400 or 500
of them WAS at Bluefalds when he ar.
rived February 9th. Captain Brown
says the British warshlp there was not
the Cleopatra, but the lamar. The
Mosquitoes appealed 10 the lamar for
protection. Thursday, March lst, the
lamar sent three boat loads of armed
men ashore. The Nicsraguans objected
to the landing OF British troops and
charged the British officers with open
violation OF the Brwer treaty. Little
attention was paid TO this by the British
steamer.
The Elliott passed the wreck of the
KearsaFge on Roncsdor reef Tuesday
morning. Nothing was left of her but
the hull. So far as seen there was no
signs of her going to pieces.

REPUBLICAN LEAGUE.

Call for the Convention of Clubs at

CHICAGO, March 1.-THE official call
for the annual convention OF the Ma
tional Republican league will be issued
from national headquarters in this city
tomorrow. The convention will be held
at Denver, June 26tb, and will continue
several days. The ratio OF representa-
ton gives each state practically 10 dele
gates at large, in addition to four from
each congressional district. The total
representation will exceed 1000 dele
gates. The call reads in part as follows /:
Democratic control and sectional rule
are again complete in the national gov
ernment and starvation for labor and
ruin for capital prevail as the result
of the policies and influences that
sargnanass tnv BaInucrnric party. The
hallucinations of 1872 are over. Facts
have upset theories, and the people
have now turned instinctively to the
party that saved the nation in previous
hour OF peril and demonstrated its mas-
terly ability in giving the United States
80 years of prosperity unparalleled in
the history of nations. Again it becomes
the mission and duty OF the grand old
party to mset the national emergency
with the highest patriotism. The party
deplores the necessity, but rises to the
occasion. The struggle for liberty,
progress, fair wages and all that America
promises, did not end with the defeat of
'92. The fight must and will 90 on. To
this end the national committee of the
league cordially invites all patriotic citi-
zens who are in sympathy with the poll
cies and aspirations of the Republican
party to join the league clubs and thus
participate in the national league con-
vention at Denver

WASHINGTON, March 11.-A most i'm
portant proposition for a change in gov
ernmental methods will be pres ented to
the house of representatives. early this
week. 1t contemplstss the abolition Of
the coast and geodetic survey. It is
proposed to absorb the coast survey by
the navy department. 1t further con-
templates the termination OF the geo.
detic survey with its extensive bureau,
under the direction of Superintendent
Mendenhall. and the absorption OF this
bureau by the interior department..
Representative Enloe will submit the
proposed changes as amendments to the
suudry civil appropriation bill, which is
to be taken up on Monday. Chairman
Sayers of the committee does
not think the change will
be made, as he thinks they should not
complicate the appropriation bill.
Appropriation bills will continue to
have the right of way in the house this
week. The sundry civil bill which will
be unfinished business when the house
meets tomorrow, carries $32, 306. .382-
SO, 400, ,928 less than last year. It will
probably require four days to dispose of
this bill, the two items that will pro-
woke most opposition being the appro-
priations for the geological and coast
and geodetic survey. Alter the sundry
civil bill is disposed of. either the mill
tary or the consular and diplomatic ap-
preparation bill will consume the bal
ance of the week.
In accordance with the agreement en-
tered into Friday the senate will devote
the major portion of this week to con-
sideration of the Bland seignoirage bill,
which is to be finally disposed of by a
vote at 2 O'Clock Thursday if Senator
Allison's motion to reconsider the vote
by which it was passed to third reading
should fail of adoption, as it most likely
will. 1t is probable there will be very
little talk on the part Of the friends OF
the bill, as they feel confident of its
passage.
