This morning an injunction was granted
by Judge Clute of Albany county forbidding
the placing Of Henry Wolferts name on

the injunction was that the clerk had
usurped the powers of the presiding officer.
At this mornings session of the Senate j
roll call was ordered by the republican ma

ground that the Injunction forbade him to

thereupon assumed the responsibility, and
in spite of the protests of the democrats
called Wolferts name.

GEN. HARRIsoN's LECTURES,
He Will Leave I'm Two Weeks for Cali
fOrnfa.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Feb. 2.-Ex-Presi-
dent Harrison is making active prepsra-
lions for his trip to California, where he is
to deliver the first of his lectures before
the students of Leland Stanford. ir.. Uni
versity. He will start in about two weeks
He will be accompanied by his daughter,
Mrs. Mckee, and her family, and his
private secretary.
Speaking of his coming trip last night,
Gen. Harrison said: 1--WE shall be in Cali
fornia about six weeks. ! cannot possibly
say as to the exact number of lectures that
shall deliver They will be upon the
broad subject of constitutional law. which
subject embraces SO large a field that I
cannot pretend to do it justice in so short
space of time. as each of the many spe-
cific questions involved would necessarily
have to be treated SO briefly as to he
scarcely comprehensive"
Gen. Harrison was asked whether or not
ne would return to the university nexr
year and complete the course or continue
1t, and he replied: well, l cannot saw
positively at present, but it Is possible thai
l shall; but no arrangements have as yet
been perfected to this end; this will be de-
termined later. I have been engaged very
actively for some time upon the prepare ton
OF the lectures, which have not as yet been
divided into any certain number, and 1t is
on this account that / cannot state as to
the exact number of lectures that I shall
deliver. The matter is now in the shape of
one continuous discussion, which can be
separated by topics or divisions as the
circumstances demand. The lines of thought
carried out or the treatme of the subject

as II would not be in any sense advisable"

A DIsTAsTEFUL SUBJECT.
Three Days Allotted to the Debate on
the Hawaiian Matter.


The democrats Of the House today took
up the most distasteful and most dreaded
task Mr. Cleveland has set for them: that
Of advocating or excusing his Hawaiian
policy. There are very few men in Con-
gress who honestly believe In Mr. Cleve-
lands policy, and all are ar Gus to let 20
of the tar-baby queen, but find IT Impossible
to get their fingers free. Even the men,
bers Of the foreign affairs committee are
heartily sick Of the job they have before
them, and most of the democrats would like
to be somewhere else while the debate Is in
progress.
The matter opened up turbulently this
morning, with Mr.. Boutelle as the princi-
pal actor. he insisting on his resolution
being considered first as a question Of privi-
lege. When the previous question was or
dered on the resolution of the committee
on rules, setting apart three days for the
consideration of the Hawaiian matter Mr.
Catchings made some personal illusions
to MIR. Boutelle's peculiar characteristics
in debate, which aroused that gentleman's
indignation and led to the demand for the
Mississippian's words to be taken down.
The House. however. ordered that Catch
ings should be permitted to proceed, and ne
Immediately said something else which led
to another demand for his words to be
taken down. 1t Is still uncertain what
course the democrats will finally take with
relation to this matter. but whatever is
done the administration will get a most Sc

RESIGNED HIS OFFICE
The Bragilian Minister of War Leaves
Peixoto.
Reported MisfOrtunes of the Govern
the Dynamite Cruiser NictherOy.

BCENOS AYRES, Feb. 2.-Dispatches re
ceived here today from Rio Janeiro say thai
the Brazilian minister Of war has resigned
after a somewhat excited interview with
President Peixoto.
The cause of the resignation Of the min
lister of war is said to have been the fact
that he disagreed with President Peixoto as
to the state of affairs in Brazil and that he
protested strongly against the action OF
the president in prolonging the state OF
siege
The minister Of war is said to have beer
In favor Of a policy Of Cancellation, which
in his opinion, would end the disturbances
in Brazil much sooner.
The dispatches from Rio Janeiro also say
that the government transport Itaipau
which recently arrived at Bahia, has Joined
issue with the insurgents and has succeeded
in blockading that port.
The dispatches further announce that the
cruiser America, fitted out in New York, is
useless, on account of the fact that she has
no crew to work her. owing to the failure
of the Brazilian government officials to ar
rive at an understanding with her -Ameri-
can officers and crew, and that the latter
will not fight her on account of these disa-
greements.
1t is also stated that nearly all the Amer
leans are either ashore or going ashore
with the intention of returning to the
United States as soon possible.
Concerning the dynamite cruiser Nicthe-
roy the dispatches received here from Rio
Janeiro announce that she has been dam
aged to such an extent to be practically
useless until placed in the hands Of skilled
workmen. who will have to spend a con-
siderable time upon her before she is again
In fighting condition.
The machine of the dynamite gun is said
to be out Of order, and 1t is believed that
this Is the work directly or indirectly of
friends Of the insurgents who, as already
reported, have been busily at work with the
crews of the ships arrived from New York,
as well with the crews Of the other YES
sells purchased by the government Of Presi-
dent Peixoto.
Some doubt Is thrown on these statements
from Rio Janeiro by the fact that the dis
patches say. in addition, that the N!ctheroy
remains at Pernambuco. while previous dis
patches received here have announced the
departure of the Nicthercy from Pernambu-
CO for Bahia, and the fact that President
Peixoto had rendezvoused his new fleet at
Bahia, previous to starting all his vessels
for Rio Janeiro with the intention Of crush
ing out the insurgent fleet.
No confirmation or denial Of the report
that the town Of Nictheroy, in the bay of
Rio Janeiro. has fallen into the hands of
the insurgents has been received here up to
the time this dispatch Is filed.

Candlemas Day.

Today is Candlemas Day, an ecclesiasti-
cal festival on which the Roman Catholics
consecrate the candles and tapers that are
to be used in the churches during the en-
suing year. For this purpose appropriate
services were held in the different local
churches today. The day is celebrated in
honor of the presentation of the infant
Christ in the temple and the publication Of
the Virgin Mary.
The observance of Candlemas Day Is one
Of long standing, and seems to have been
instituted as early as the first half Of the
fifth century. The feast takes its name
from the custom, dating from the seventh
century, of carrying lighted candles in pro-
cession in memory of Simeons words at
the presentation in the temple: "A light to
tighten the Gentiles, and the glory of Thy
people Israel" The feast is retained in the
Anglican Church, and is also retained by
the Lutherans.
