A NAVAL "REMINISCENCES.
An Incident Similar to That Of Portu.
gal and Brasil.

The strained relations between Brazil and
Portugal, resulting from the extension by
the Portuguese men-of-war of the right Of
asylum to the defeated rebel Admiral Da
Cana, recalls to naval officers a complica-
ton Of similar nature in which the United
States was involved with Brazil, and in
which we were guilty Of a much more fla
grant violation of international law than Is
charged against Portugal.
1t was in the day of our civil war; when
the Alabama and the Shenandoah and other
confederate cruisers were working havoc in
our commerce. that Capt. Collins of the
United States steamer Wachusetts finally
cornered the confederate steamer Shenan-
doah in Rio harbor. The neutrality laws
required that when belligerent vessels shell
tered in harbor desired to leave one must
give the other twenty-four hours start BY
the operation of that law Capt. Collins had
lost several possible captives, and he was
determined that the Shenandoah should not
escape him. So in the night he got under
way and made straight at the Shenandoah
intending to sink her accidentally" in a
collision. The Wachusetts struck the Shen-
andoah glancing blow, without materially
damaging her; but Capt. Collins was not to
be balked. and. throwing boarders on the
vessel. attached a cable to her and boldly
towed her out OF the neutral port and up to
Hampton Roads, Va. There was a great
stir over this breach of internati law
and, although Emperor Dom Pedro was
warm sympathizer with the north, he could
not overlook the indignity that had been put
upon his Country, and demanded repara-
tion. When the facts came out the United
States had no defense. So Capt. Collins
was suspended, an ample apology was
made to Brazil, and the Shenandoah was
ordered to be returned in good order to Rio
harbor. By a mysterious accident which
never was fully explained, one of our gun
boats, in getting under way from Hampton
Roads the night before the Shenandoah was
to sail. ran into the ship, and she was sunk
at her anchorage, so that the Brazilian gov
ernment was obliged to be content with the
apology and Capt Collins punishment.

WAR DEPARTMEyT CHANGES.
A Conference Today to Detcrmin,
Upon the Reductions.

Secretary Lamont had a conference with
the heads of the different bureaus of the
War Department this morning, with a view
to a systematic reduction of the clerical
force Of that department to the lowest pos
sible working basis. The force in the Sec
retary's office was recently reduced 40 per
cent. and it is understood that Secretary
Lamont contemplates a similar reduction
In other branches of the department.
1t Is a subject of comment that The legis-
lative appropriation bill cuts off thirteen
clerks in the Secretary's office provided for
by existing law, whereas the Secretary has
already reduced the force by eight more
than that number, so that If the bill passes
In its present shape it will provide for eight
more clerks than are now employed.

Mr.. McGann, chairman of the COMMITTEES
on labor. reported the joint resolution orig
inally introduced by Representative Bell
Coll providing for the appointment OF a
committee of three Senators and four Rep
reseatatives to investigate and report the
cause of the present Industrial depression.
Mr.. Dingley (Ne) objected to the resola-
ton on the ground that the time allo wed
the committee in which to report the result
of its investigation was too short: that it
was impossible to report in thirty days.
Mr.. Burrows demarked, sotto voce. that IL
might just well require a report TO be
made in ten minutes. Under the rules the
resolution went over.
Agricultural Appropriation Bill.
At 12:+5 the House went into committee
of the whole on the agricultural appsopgia-
ton bill. and Mr.. Richardson OF Tennessee
took the chair.
Just prior to this. however. Mr.. Springer
Qll) gave notice that in view OF the fact
that the appropriation bills had not been
disposed of he was unable to call up the
bill to remit the ten per cent tax on state
banks In accordance with his previous
notice, but that he would do so early next
week. or soon as the legislative. executive
and judicial appropriation bill was disposed
of.

Mr. Marsh Qll) delivered a fierce denun-
ciation of the practice Of the Agricultural
Department of collecting and publishing
agricultural statistics. which enabled spec

how many bales of cotton, etc. would be
produced. and enabled them to manipulats

The bond Is for 500. and the defendants s

The Government Getting Ready to
Patrol Bering Sea.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 3-The Secretary
of State and the British ambassador are
pursuing negotiations for an agreement
upon regulations to police Bering Sea, as
it is important that these regulations
should be agreed upon before the opening
Of the sealing season. The formali,ies to
be gone through with between the two
Governments will consume much time.
The Navy Department is apprehending
some embarrassment in supplying sufi-
cieDt vessels of the small class required to
do the work of patrolling the territory
designated by the tribunal at Paris. When
it was found necessary to police Bering
Sea before the Treasury Department had
10 be called upon for revenue cutters 70

well be spared for permanent use in that
work. No active steps have yet been taken
toward the preparation of patrol feet.
