they will do no one can tell, but
il is understood that a reception
will be arranged to the visiting

It has long been believed that ants
have means Of communicating with

gathered from their researches on the
subject that the insects do SO bv

affect the human ear. Janet, French
naturalist, has recently shown tina,

he Is Simply to Protect American Com.
mere and Citizens.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-Neither the
state nor navy departments received
further information during the day Of
the Brazilian situation. Further infor-
nation has been requested from Admiral
Benham, as there seem to be one or two
features of the incident that are rather
vaguely understood by the departments.
1t is not known, and thought to be NOT
true, that any instructions have been
sent to Benham other than the general
instructions OF all naval commanders to
protect the rights of American citizens.
He announced to the navy department.
last Saturday the course he proposed to
pursue, and it was undoubtedly ap-
proved before he acted. The surrender
by Da CANA to Benham would embar-
rass this government and Benham hiss
either signified that he understands
this, or has been warned of the fact.
His purpose is not to be understood 40
intervening against the insurgents, but
simply as protecting American interests
against aggressions by the insurgents.
and the policy of the government is
understood to be one OF approval Of
Benham's course in compelling the
recognition of the rights of American
shipping, while refraining from inter-
ference in the internecine struggle in

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3l.-The success OF
Secretary Oarlisle's proposed bond loan
was fully assured when the department
closed this afternoon, as the offers to
take bonds received today, added to
those heretofore received, make the ag-
gregate between $4,000 900 and $70,-
600 COO. Those today received from
New York amounted to SAC. 600, 900, and
in addition offers were received from
Boston and Chicago. Offers will con-
tinue to be received up to noon tomor-
row. The present expectation is that
the secretary will make public the
amounts OF offers and the premiums
some time tomorrow afternoon.
New YORK, Jan. 31.-At o'clock
President Stewart wired Secretary Car
lisle the total subscriptions for bonds
something in excess OF $45. 900, 900. This
included the bids of three Boston houses,
Kidder. Peabody & Co., E. R. Morse &
Co. and B. L. Day & Co., the first-named
taking $1,3C0,000, the second $50O,O0O
and an even million for the last. The
largest subscription received this after
noon was Lazard Freree & Co., 81 ,000,-
600. J. D. Probst & 90. came next with
5000 900, Ungers, Smithers & Go. $500,

The rest are taken up in small bids,

THE HAWAIIAN INQUIRY.

Arthur, ex-senator from New York and
editor of the Troy Budget, was before
the senate Hawaiian investigation COM
mittee today. He went to Honolulu in
March for the purpose OF investigating
the situation. He told the committee
that he went there prepossessed in
favor of the queen, but came away
entirely convinced that the revolution
was justified and the queen unfit to rule
the islands.
Macarthur was on the islands at the
time Blount was there and stopped at
the same hotel with him. He declared
Blount's report perversion OF facts az
he had gathered them. He also pro-
nounced absurd the story of Stevens
conspiracy. Macarthur criticised Blount's
method of getting information and de-
clared the most ordinary newspaper man
would have gone into the subject far
more thoroughly.

Admiral Benham's Action Had
a Salutary Effect.
Ships of All Nationalities Gong to
the Wharves.
No Firing for rwenty-four Hsurs-es.s
Sends Protest to the American
Admiral--Benhsm'sC Couyss
Approved.

Rio DE JANERo, Jan. s1-LUopy-
righted, 1894, by the Associated Press.]
The action OF Admiral Benham in
protecting American ships has had
sRlutary effect. English and merchant
ships of other nationalities are now
coming up to the wharves without any
sign of molestation by the insurgents
vessels. Benhsm's bold stand is gen.
orally applauded. The exchange Of
shots between the insurgent and govern
ment forces has practically ceased dur.
ing the past "a hours. This is the first
time for four months that day has
passed that there was not more or less
firing. All the foreigners are delighted
with the result of the American admir-
foreign fleets held a conference today to
lutions were adopted fully endorsing the
course he pursued.
Much regret is expressed at the
absence from Rio OF the American con-
sui general, Townes. Vice-Consul Lewis
is little more than a boy, and the
Americans hardly think him fitted to
set as the representative Of the United
States at such critical juncture. They
say his lack OF familiarity with diplo-
matte affairs ia liable to lead him con-
stantly into blunders.
Da Cana feels aggrieved at Benham.
He sent letter to the American admit
ral today, protesting against the osten-
tatioua manner in which the American
commander had humiliated him. He
says he will yield for the time to supe-
rior force. but that, as he was compelled
to allow American ships to come to the
wharves, he has officially notified the
representatives of all other nations that
they may do the same. He declares
that the insurgents have held the har-
Dor for FIVE months and says now if the
shore batteries fire ON him he will be
unable to reply for fear OF hurting neu-
traf ships, and he will also be unable TO
protect his men.
Da CANA also sent letters to the off,
GERS in conference to discuss Benham's
action. asking that he might be permit
ted to lombard the city without notice.
No answer was sent to him, but Ben
ham said later to the Associated Press
correspondent that he would grant the
iusurgent admiral permission to bonn
bard the city, but would require that As
hours notice be given so that non-com-
batants would be able to seek shelter.
