Labouchere on the Lords.

London, February ia letter writ
ten by Henry Labouchere has been made
public, in which the well known Radical
says that if the Queens speech.opening
the next session of Parliament does not
contain a declaration that reform of
the House of Lords is necessary, he will
move an amendment to the address in
reply to the speech declaring that the
power of the hereditary and episcopal
branch of the legislature to reject or al
ter bills approved by the House of Com
mons should cease. Mr.. Labouchere, in
his letter, advises that the adoption of
the address in reply to the Queens speech
ought to be Immediately followed by the
passage of bill to abolish the House of
Lords. He adds that if the ministers
want a second chamber it should be
formed of members elected by popular
vote. The Westminster Gazette Uiber-
all commenting on MI. Labouchere's let
ter says that the introduction of a bill to
abolish the House of Lords would be
tantamount to a dissolution of the
House of Commons within three months.
The paper adds that it would be best to
wait until it is seen how the House of
Lords will treat the Welsh disestablish-
ment, the registration and the evicted
tenants measures, and then go to the
country with an overwhelming case
against the Lords.

HIS SKULL FRACTURED.
Mysterious Case of Assault Reported from
the Town of Frankfort.

Bangor. Me-, February 19.-It was re-
ported from Frankfort today that E. P.
Treat, lawyer of that town, aged about
go, was assaulted Saturday night at his
home, and dealt heavy blows on the
head, probably with an axe or hatchet.
his skull being fractured. He lived with
his sister, Mrs. Laura Treat, and her
daughter Bertha, who is deaf and dumb.
The physicians summoned state that
Treat may recover. The authorities
have taken no action and Mrs. Treat and
her daughter have made no public state
ment. so the affair is wrapped in mystery
Mrs. Treat produced the hatchet which
she said was used in the assault. The
blood had been washed off. 1t is not
thought that Mrs. Treat committed the
deed, and her daughter is highly spoken
of by the neighbors. No suspicious per-
sons were seen by anyone about the
house Saturday night, and no attempt at
robbery was made.

AFRAID OF THE FEVER.
They Say in Rio that Our Minister
Has Deserted His Post.
THE BRITISH REPRESENTATIVE
STILL IN THE CITY.

MIR. Thompson Is at the Summer Resort of
Petropolis, rs Miles Away Where
Yellow Jack Never Appears Mean
while, American Affairs Are in Charge
of a CIerk-The Nictheroy Off Rio-A
Decisive Engagement Expected at Last.
Rio Janeiro, February 19.-The dyna-
mite cruiser Nictheroy left this harbor
early last night. AS she passed Fort
Villegagnon held by the insurgents the
gunners fired two shots at the cruiser,
but did not succeed in hitting her. The
Nictheroy had on board three hundred
regular troops, and it is supposed her
destination is Santos. Strong hopes are
entertained of an early and decisive
action between the government forces
and the insurgents.
The course of Mr.. Thompson, American
minister. is still subject of adverse COM
ment in some quarters 1t is charged by
some Americans and others that he is
taking to himself credit for the protec-
tion of American merchantmen given by
Admiral Benhani. 1T is still subject for
comment that Mr.. Thompson lives at
Petropolis summer resort twenty-five
miles north of Rio Janeiro while the
British and other ministers continue to
reside in the city. His residence in
Petropolis is easily explainable on the
theory that he does not want to run the
risk of contracting yellow fever now
epidemic in Rio Janeiro. Petropolis is
always free from this scourge. Some in
convenience arises from his residence
there, American interests in this city
being left in the hands of young man
in the Office of the consul general.

Louisiana Senator Nominated and
Confirmed in an Hour.
HILL PRAISED THE NOMINEE In
SECONDING THE NOMINATION..

The President Surprised the Senate in End

Yesterday Forenoon.
Washington, February Ex-senator
mated by the President to'be an associate
justice of the Supreme Court of the
United States. and the nomination was
confirmed by the Senate. The nomina-
tion came in the nature of surprise to
the Senate. All sorts of rumors were
afoat during the morning relative to
this appointment, in which the names OF
Senators Gray and Faulkner were mem
toned, but not that of the Louisiana
Senator. Mr.. White did not come to the
Senate today.
Senator White knew nothing of the
fact that the President was considering
his name until last evening when the
President sent for the Louisiana
Senators. Mr.. White and Mr.. Caffery
called at the White House at eight and
remained in conference with the Presl-
dent more than two hours. The Presi-
dent then for the first time informed Mr..
White of his intention. MI. White asked
for time to consider. Accompanied by
his colleague, he again called at the ex-
ecutive mansion this morning at $50 and
an hours talk with Mr.. Cleveland de-
cided Mr.. White. At 1890, having said
he would accept the nomination, Mr..
White left the mansion. Within an hour
from the time the nomination was sent
in, Mr.. White was confirmed and the
President notified. AS soon as the
Senate went into executive session Mr..
Pugh called up the nomination and
asked that 1t be Immediately considered.
This was agreed to and Mr.. Pugh moved
that the nomination be confirmed. Mr..
Hoar seconded the nomination. Mr.. Hill
also seconded the nomination. He PAID
the nominee high tribute. Mr.. White
was confirmed without a dissenting
voice.
Edward Douglass White was born in
the Parish of Fourche. Louisiana, IN
Novem ber, 1S45. He was educated at
Mount S {. Marys. Maryland, the Jesuit
College at New Orleans and Georgetown
University, in this city.
He served in the, Confederate army,
and after the close of the war, IN 1865,
was licensed TO practice law by the Su-
preme court of Louisiana. In 1874 he
was elected State Senator, and was
appointed four years later associate JUS
tice of the Supreme court OF Louisiana.
He is a lawyer OF marked ability, in the
full vigor of life and will bring. to the
Supreme court valuable knowledge OF
the intricacies of practice under the civil
code, or the Code Napoleon, as it pre-
walls in the Louisiana courts which will
be of great service in disposing of the
cases arising in the courts of that state.

MORE ABOUT HAWAII.
WilIis's Reply to President Dole's Bill of
Particulars.

Washington, February 19.-The Presi-
batch of Hawaiian correspondence. 1t
included President Dole's letter to Mr..
Willis, already pu blished. and Mr.. Willis's
reply with several other communica
tions. Mr.. Willis in his letter of trans
INITIAL to Secretary Gresham, says
this sletter, will. on my part, end
the correspondence upon the su biect."
Minister Willis's reply to President
Dole's "bill of particulars" is dated
January 10. He says the paragraphs in
Mr. Dole's letter referring to events which
occurred before his arrival at the islands
viz: the withdrawal of the annexation
treaty, the appointment of Mr.. Blount
and the character of the investigation
pursued by him, are matters which he
does not care to discuss further than to
say that they were not given at the time
the unfriendly construction now imputed
to them.
specifications one by one. AS to No. IL,
which quotes certain expressions at
tributed to him (Mr. Willis) in an inter-
view in local paper, he explains these
expressions and says his action was
meant and understood at the time as in
the interest of peace, humanity and good
order, and after this explanation he
trusts will no longer be considered an
evidence of hostility.
He appends two letters from Rear
Admiral Irwin, giving notes from the
log book OF the Philadelphia in explana-
tion of the alleged threatening action of
the naval forces.
Admiral Irwin writes: "On the 18th
of December, as the excitement on shore
was very great, and as quite mob had
gathered at our usual landing, gave
officers orders to wear their uniforms on
shore, which is the usual precautlop
| great excitement 1t is proper to add
that had been informed by Capt. Rookie
of the British cruiser Champion that he
had given similar order"
| The admiral says further, that the
great guns of the Philadelphia and
| Adams have never been loaded since
| their last practice at sea, and he con-
| cIudes his letter to Mr.. Willis with these
| words: "As you are aware, have
would have a tendency to increase the
excitement prevailing in Honolulu, and
l now distinctly state that the naval
force under my command is in no way
responsible for the feeling now existing.
In regard to Mr.. Dole's 22nd specifica-
tion that the Hawaiian government. was
refused permission to forward dispatches
by the dispatch boat Corwin, Mr.. Willis
reminds Mr.. Dole that the naval officers
of the United States, and the public
generally, were also denied such
privilege, and therefore, no Inference of
unfriendly feeling should have been
drawn from this occurrence.

Bangor Heard From.

Washington, February 19.-In the
Senate today memorial against placing
lumber on the free lis was presented by
Mr.. Hale, Republican, of Maine, who
asked to have it printed, saying it was
very carefully prepared and contained
figures and facts of great Importance on
the subject. In the absence OF Mr.
Voorhees,. chairman of the finance COM
mittee, objection to printing was made
by Mr. Mcpherson, Democrat, of New
Jersey, who said if the committee was
to have printed all the petitions referred
to it and all the replies received to the
million circular letters of inquiry sent
out, the printing expenses of the govern
ment would be. largely and unnecessarily
increased.
Mr.. Hale argued that, as hearings had
been refused to representatives of varl-
GUS industries, the least that could be
asked was the printing of documents
such as he presented today.
Finally Mr.. Mcpherson withdrew his
objection, and the memorial as to lumber
was ordered printed.
Mr. Daniel of Virginia, addressed the
Senate in defence of the President S
Hawaiian policy.
The Bank Law.
Washington, February l9.-If the
opinion of member of the minority of
the House committee on banking and
cure ncy should prove to be well found
ed, there will be NO legislation recon-
mended to this Congress upon the sub
iects referred to that committee for ex-
animation and report Earlier in the
career of the Congress it was expected,
and, indeed, believed, that at least two
important matters would be presented
to the House for action by the commit
tee; a bill to repeal the 10 per cent bank
tax and another to revise and rearrange
the financial policy of the government.
Said the member of the committee:
''The minority have been handled in a
masterly manner to prevent acuon on
what we believe to be dangerous and
hurtful propositions. ssa sThat we have
achieved anything, however, is only due
to the fact that the majority OF the COM
| mittee has been irretrievably split pom
all matters of importance.
