BENHAM is STILL At RIO
But Yellow Jack Has Put The Other
Commanders to Flight.
AN TNSURGENT SHOT TEARS THE
FLAG OF OLD ENGLAND

But the British Authorities Do Not Seem
in Hurry to Take Action-The Insur-
gents Stole Lighter Flying the Ger
man Flag, and War Ship Is on the
Way to See About It-Other Thefts by
the Insurgents
.. Rio Janeiro, March Son the night of
March 6, barge loaded with bacon,
-four and oil belonging to Levering &
Co., of Baltimore and Rio Janeiro, was
stolen from the side of the Hamburg
steamer Catania to which she was
moored. The theft was the work of the
insurgents. AS no German w warship was
in Rio harbor, the German vessels with
others having withdrawn on account of
the prevalence of yellow fever, the head
of the house of Levering & Co., applied
to Admiral Benham for redress. Ad-
miral Benham declined to interfere be-
cause the stolen barge, as well as the
steamer from whose side she was taken,
was under the German flag. The German
government has notified the legation
here that German warship may be ex-
peeted in Rio harbor very soon.
Some time ago, barge loaded with
provisions was stolen by the insurgents
under cover of darkness from the side of
the British ship Gerba. On another
occasion, sixty bales of cotton were
stolen from a lighter attached by
hawser to another British ship. In
both the cases an appeal was made TO
the British authorities, but they refused
to interfere and roundly cursed the
captain of one ship for being such fool
as to keep barge alongside his vessel
over night. Yesterday, as the tug Isabel,
flying the British flag ..was.steaming in the
outer harbor, she was fired upon by the
insurgent steamer Victoria, the shot
passing through the IsabeIs flag. The
Isabel stopped and the Victoria, by a
signal, compelled her to come alongside.
The Victoria took off one of the crew of
the tug, pressing him into the insurgent
service and ordered the tug away. The
matter was reported to the British
authorities. but as yet they have taken
no action. All the naval commanders
except Benham. have left for places of
safety from the yellow fever.

What Are Reported to be the Views of the

What Are Reported to be the Views of the
President on the Bland Bill.
Washington, March S.-The statement
is made by one OF. the most prominent
men in public life that President Cleve-
land will veto the Bland seignlorage bill
ii it passes the Senate. The reason
given is that the bill would be destruc-
tive of the repose which now surrounds
the financial system of the country, and
would tend to weaken our credit
abroad. Secretary Carlisle is known to
be unfavorable to the bill, and he is
understood to have represented to the
President that the money that would
result from the coinage of the seignior-
age is not needed and that it is his in
tention to sell whatever bonds may be
necessary to supply deficiencies in the
treasury.

An editorial in the same paper
says:
1.-THE selection of Lace as the trimming par
excellence of the season is the result OF merit
and fashion combined.
The universal interest that this trimming at
present excities cannot be overlooked. 1t is a
noteworthy fact that Lace is never worn in
limited quantities; it is either the object OF a
craze. as at present, or severely neglected.
Present indications point to Lace reigning

WANT A MILLION SUBSIDY,
The Proposed New Line of Canadian
Steamers-Of Interest to Portland.

Montreal, March s. - The Canadian
House of Parliament will meet just a
week from today, and one of the first
matters to be brought before the House
will be the advisability of granting a
subsidy of $750,000 for a fast Atlantic
service. Parliament has already author
lied the granting of half million dol
lars towards this scheme, but quarter
of million more is needed before Brit
ish capitalists will touch it.
Mr., James Huddart the promoter of
the Canadian-Australian line, has signed
a provisional contract with the Canadian
government for an Atlantic service, and
he has gone ito England to endeavor to
raise the money. The scheme is to make
the Canadian-Australian line and the
fast Atlantic line into one company with
total subsidies of a million dollars from
the British, Canadian and Australian
governments.
The opposition in Parliament are sure
to oppose the granting of the three-quar-
tiers of million for a fast Atlantic SER
vice. 1t is claimed that no Canadian
line can pay unless it has for its
winter port Boston OF Port
land. and Mr.. Huddart' S
agreement is that Halifax shall be the
winter port. Any loss the line meets
with will have to be paid by the Canadi-
an people, and it is on this ground that
the Liberal party will justify it's opposi-
ton to the subsidy.

:. Senator Perkins of California, who
will be remembered as native Of
Maine, referring. to the Stein Artic eX-
pedition which is to start this summer
by way of Norway and Spitzbergen, said
in speech before the National
Geographic Society, that it would be an
excellent plan for an exploring party to
go by the way of Behring Straits. He
SAYS the warm waters of the Japanese
current make free passage through the
ice farther north than in the Atlantic
Ocean. Mr.. Perkins is largely interested
in the Pacific whaling business. and he
has offered to give party free passage
in his whaling ships to some place which
would be suitable for base of supplies.
