THE RIO SITUATION.
While Both Sides Are Waiting Yellow JaoI
 Puts In an Appearance.

LONDON, Jan. S.-The following dispatch was received from Rio de Janeiro via Mon- tevideo: Admiral da Dana still holds out, :, stating that he expects the Aquidaban and Republica with re-enforcements from the south. He appears confident of the ulti- mate result and received ,000 on Satur- day from sympathizers in order to pay his men.
 The diplomats have refused to recognize the belligerent status of the insurgents on the ground that the provisional govern ment has not a sufficient standing. Ad- miral Chavas, the minister of marine, re- signed his office on account of difference of opinion with President Peixoto, espe- cially regarding the imprisonment and general treatment of the naval officers suspected of sympathy with the insurgents. His successor, Admiral Netto, is considered honest, though he has no special ability.
 The past week has been uneventful. There was some skirmishing in the vicinity of Mocangue and occasional firing along the shore front of the city. The forts at the mouth of the harbor, which have been silent for the past week, fired again. The cruiser Tamandare fired few shots daily at the batteries of Nictheroy, the latter re- plying.
 The government continues mounting ar tillery on the heights within the city limits and is awaiting the arrival of the new war ships before attacking Admiral da Gama.
 Several cases of yellow jack have oc- cured on board merchant vessels and also in the city, and it is feared that continu- ance of the intense heat will bring severe epidemic later on

 Speaking of Miss Shattuck's appearance with the Tivoli company as leader of the amazon march ill the spectacular produc- tion, "lsland of Jewels" The Examiner says: The pleasing young person with a sword who leads this march is perhaps as much entitled as any one to wear the title, the California Nenus,' as she was the model of the crowning figure in the Mid winter fair fountain in the Sunset City, and her fac-simile in staff will stand amid the falling drops of water in front of the Administration building as a sample of what California can produce in the way of female beauty.'

 To Both Branches of the National Govern

 This section of Connecticut has always snioyed the blessings which wealth and rrosDeritv alone can bessow. We have always been in the position to contribute to the relief of our brethen all over the Country whenever called upon. The fuc- ton of our indignation lS sufficient to start the wheels of industry throughout New England when We find the producers of our wealth actually needing the Com mon N,ce=s Iries of life. In the older Countries, where the landlords and other vampires sapped the llfe-blOod ot the Nations, there may be some excuse but Tn a Young and Vigorous Country. just Oud- ding into manhood, only celebrating the victories of our Fathers, who rescued It at the sacrifice of their Lives. their Fortunes and their Sacred Honor" there k abSo- IuteIv no excuse. After witnessing the awful scenes of financial disaster, ruin and distress for fully eight months. our country is actually recovering and taking up new industrial life. not with the aid of the National Government but in spite of II. We can't get a quorum Tn the House to transact public business. Is not thls a spectacle for millions of industrious Idle American Citizens to gaze upon: Not to expect to raiSe Anarchists on such soil as this. Is to expect to raise Nation of Cowaris. But our people are patient; they will do anything for peace. IL Is painful acknowledgement that. owing to corrupt politics, the brains of our Country are out side Washington. .'Incompetency Is written across the foreheads of our Legls- Iators in big letters. The quickest remedy is to pay you your salaries and send you home for m indefinite period. For thir- teen years lI776 to 17s6l this Country got along without d President or Senate. We can do 1t again. We are suffering from moral decay There are too many cousins marrying each other. If the Irish should marry the English it would end the fight between them. The Americans should marry the Scotch. the Germans should marry the French. etc. etc. In conclusion MT President, let Us inform you that all eyes are on our new plant, East Main street and our Big Removal Sale is bringing the people from all parts to buy Furniture. Carpets, CrOckery. Oilcloths, Shades. Cur tains, Stoves, Ranges. etc, etc.

Wilson Diii. Impeachment proceedings must originate in the house, and therefore it would seem that this course must be blocked until the question now before the house is decided.
 There was wild rumor af1oat here, which could not be traced to any reliable source, that Minister Willis is aboard the Corwin and that he was given his pass ports by the provisional government ot Hawaii. The rumor is receive AS ith no credence here, and state depaI - tnt off cials characterize it as fabrication.
 Secretary Gresham was seen and stated that there was absolutely nothing to be given out on the Hawaiian question and that there would not be until the arrival of the mail advices. This would seem to controvert the theory that the president intends to send a special message to con gress today on the Hawaiian question, in cluding the correspondence received from the Corwin. It is understood that the dis patches obtained are rather meager and that the administration prefers to wait for full advices before making anything public
 Blourt Summoned to Washington.
 MACON, Jan. S.-Hon. James H. Blount received telegram from Washington call ing him to appear before the Hawaiian committee. He left for the capital yester- day afternoon.
