Said Id niral Benham Of Our Navy
Has Been Asked to Settle
Brazilian Affairs.
Admiral De CANA Has Been in Con-
sultation With Him With That
End in View.
The News Of the Consultation Hailed
With Great Joy by the Inhab-
itants Of Rio.

PERNA,lBUco, Jan. PA dispatch
from the Associated Press correspondent
at Rio Janeiro says: There have been
rumors that the United States was to be
asked to arbitrate the mat. .er in dispute
between the government of President
Peixoto and the commanders of the in
surgent forces, but these reports were
denied. It is understood that feelers
have been sent out by the government of
President Peixo.o, and that the reply to
the feelers was that the United States
was in position to arbitrate any dis
pute SO long as any one Of the parties
directly interested in the dispute was
open to conciliation under the
advice OF third srty Today, how
ever, the Associated Press correspondent
is informed upon authority, that Ad-
lnirai de Cana, the rebel in command
of the insurgent feet, has S, nj request
to Admiral Benham the American ad
miral, to be kind enough to act as meai-
ator letween the insurgents and the
government Of President Peixoto, with
a view OF lringing about peace. An
effort was made to see Admiral Benham
and obtain confirmation OF denial Of
this report, Lut it m be safely
said that there is little doubt
Of its truth. When the news
that Admiral da CANA had
been consulting with Admiral
Benham, reached the shore. the greatest
satisfaction was eyl ressed by everyone
at the prospect Of all ending to the wear
isome civil war, which has been clog
ging the wheels Of trade for SO many
months No: ody seems to doubt that
the American admiral will soon be able
to patch Up q peace between the insur-
gents and the government, for both
sides admit that they are heartily tired
of tie distressing ! ombarlments and
| attacks and Coulter attacks. which have
| leen going on for SO long, with little or
no advantage to eth II side.

The pending question was the Rob
ertson amendment imposing duty on
raw sugar and increasing the duty on
refined sugar, as amended by Mr.. War
ner, placing raw and refined sugar on
the free list. The confusion entai!ed by
these two lncongruous amendments had
first to be Strengthened out. Mr.. Dingiey
claimed that the Warner amendment
was utterly inconsistent with the Rob
eltson amendment and should be con-
sidered as a substitute. MIR. Robertson
took issue with him on the ground that
Mr. Warmers amendment simply was
to place refined sugar on the free list,
leaving so much of the house amend
ment as imposed du:y upon sugar be-
low No. 16 Dutch standard unaffected,

tute to place all raw sugar and refined

No N.s

rams reputation as all orator was Fixed
long ago. On many notable occasions
he has earned the right to rank among
the first orators Of the world. But tAer5
was some doubt as to how he would
handle himself III tie heat Of debate
whether he was ready enough with re-
tort. whether he could think fast enough
to keep pace with the rafting fire Of d
hand to hand encounter on tie floor.
There are many men who make mag
nifcent set speeches. bat who go to piec"s
when the pressure of cavalry raids from
the other side Of The hall comes upon
them. Mr.. Cochran did not turn out to
be that kind of man. Payne of New
York, who wants to be governor of that
state and president of the United States,
rode at Cochran full tilt and was un-
horsed. Then Boutelle, always impet-
uous and forcible, took the place Of his
friend Payne. only to go down with him
in the dust Finally Reed the Terrible
came to the rescue and narrowly escaped
similar fate. He was not routed, but
he imped little as he sidled off the
field.
Cochran was equal to all corners. He
proved himself worthy to race in the
same class with Thomas B. Reed, and
that means he is among the foremost de-
baters Of the world 1t is a pity that n
man So brilliant us to be able to excel
| both rs orator and debater should find
his public career drawing to close on
account of his inability to live in peace
and harmony with the chief of the Or
ganiZatiou on which he has reflected 50
much luster. Yet the truth is that after
this congress Mr.. Cocllran's eloquent
voice is not likely to be heard i'll the
halls of the big national statehonse on
Capitoline hill.
In the Corridors.
Though the incidents on the floor OF
the house are frequently of surprising
interest, those in the corridors and
rooms round about are not less so. 1t Is
worth going miles to see Virginia
congressman entertaining Il rural con-
stituent. The Virginia and Maryland
members are more troubled by visitors
of this sort than any other on account
of the proximity of their districts to the
capital. With campaign promises ring
ing in their ears, the old farmers come
to town, hunt up their members and
calmly intimate their desire to be enter
tained. Though they wear coonskin
caps or Old wool hats that have been
handed down from generation to genera

being to adjust the scale of prices to

The scale adopted so adjusts prices as
to meet the generally depressed condi-

the varieties were lowered and some
raised, the general average is quite ma
terially reduced as compared with the
former schedule. This virtually means
a reduction throughout the Northwest,
