NICTHEROY LEAVES RIO.
An Insurgent Fort Fired on Her, but She
Was Not Hit.

RIO JANElRO, Feb. 20-Thinking that
PeiNoto's dynamite cruiser, the Nictheroy,
intended to fight when she suddenly APP
peared at the entrance of the harbor here
on Sunday, the rebel fleet quickly moved
into the center of the anchored merchant
vessels, hoping they would prove an effec-
tual shield against the dreaded dynamite
gun.
The Nictheroy, however, put ashore q
body of loyal volunteers from Bahia at Il
landing place just outside the bar, and
then she stood out to sea again in Obedi-
ence to signals from Fort Santa Cruz and
Fort San ,Joao, at the entrance of the bay.
Before she reached these ports she was
compelled to pass Fort Nillegaignon,
which is held by the insurgents. The gun
ners at this fort fired two sets at the
cruiser but their aim was bad, and they
did not succeed in hitting her.

HILL EXPRESSES SATISFACTION.

None Suspected That the Louisiana Soma

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-The president
sent to the senate the nomination of Sena-
tor Edward ID. White of Louisiana to be
an associate justice of the United States

by the death of Justice Blatchford. The
senate had hardly had time to recover from
the surprise which the nomination of Sen
ator White occasioned when his confirma-
ton was announced.
While months had been spent in cOnsid-
ering the nominations of Melsrs. Horn
blower and Peckham and much tin,' dc
voted to them by the senate committee on
judiciary, the name of Mr.. White was not
referred to the committee at all, and in
less than an hour after the nomination had
been received the senate had placed its seal
of approval upon the selection. had robbed
itself of an esteemed member and had
given the supreme court the one man nee
essary to make a full bench. The nominal
tion was received through Private Secre-
tary Pruden about 20 minutes before 3
o'clock, while Senator Daniel was engaged
in a speech on the Hawaiian question
Soon after its receipt Senator Gallery,

perilous passage, having been imprisoned
for seven hours among thickly packed foe
ice, which was studded on all sides by ice

dangerous to any longer pursue II northern

that must have prevailed in the far north

How the Sound of II SeasheIl ut the Ear Is
Accounted For.

The peculiar murmuring sound, not
unlike the ripple of the waves on still
evening, which we hear ON placing
shell or other hollow object to the ear,
is due to the fact that the coIcave sur,
face concentrates, and thus 1nultiplies
all the different sounds around us, SO
as to render them audible. The many
sounds always present in the air are
augmented by the resonant cavity OF
the shell. A goblet applied 10 the ear
will produce the same effect.

moved an executive session.
Promptly Confirmed.
Every one knew that his purpose was to
give the senatsAan opportunity to pass
upon his colleagues nomination, and no
one doubted that when the doors should
be reopened confirmation would be an
nounced. Occasion had never before risen
for passing upon the fitness of Il senator for
the office OF supreme judge.
There had been many instances in which
senators had been appointed to other places,
and it has become the custom-not un-
broken. howeYer-tO confirm without ref
erence to committee. 1t was believed on
all hands that the precedent would be fol
lowed in this instance Such proved to be
the case.
The senate had been sitting behind closed
doors less than half an hour when it be
came known that the motion to confirm
without reference had carried without OPP
position. There was no show of opposition
to proceeding in this manner, and the vote
was unanimously and heartily in favor of
confirmation.
The proceedings prior to the casting of
the vote consisted entirely of the deliver
ing of eulogistiC speeches by members of
the senate judiciary committee and by
Senator Gallery There were two speeches
by Democratic members of the committee
and two by Republican members, Senators
Pugh and Hill speaking for the Democratic
side anu Senators Hoar and Teller for the
Republican.
All the speeches We're laudatory and con-
gratulatory both to the president and to
Mr.. White. and the tenor of all that was
said indicated ii general feeling of relief
that the selection had proved to be one to
render it no longer necessary 10 continue A
contest which has been a somewhat dis
tracing feature for the last three or four
months. The senate even felt SO good ma
tured over the whole affair that it decided
to remove the injunction of secrecy, and
the newspapers We're notified that they
were ut liberty to publish the details of
the proceedings.
While the senate acted promptly and
without hesitation upon the nomination,
it is still fact that it WAS "A great surprise
at the capitol. The president had said on
Saturday that he would 60 outside of New
York to make a selection in view of the
rejection of the two names sent from that
state, but it had been supposed up to the
last minute that he would find n suitable
man within the confines of the Second jul
