WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-Prompt measures
have been taken toward sending relief to
the crew of the old United States ship kear-
sarge, which is a wreck on RoncadOr reef.
The kearsarge sale I'd from Port au Prince
on Jan. 80 for Bluetields, Nicaragua, to
protect American interests there in view of
the invasion of the military forces of Hon
duras She was wrecked when three days
out.
Roncador reef is little over 200 miles
from the Mosquito coast OF Central Amer
lea. Between the coast and the reef lies
Old Providence island, only - or 50 miles
to Iecward of the reef. 1t is believed 1t the
navy depa.t nent that the officers and crew
would be able to reach Old Providence with
out difficulty in case they We're in danger
of their lives on the reef.
Immediately upon receipt of the news of
the wreck the navy department sent a
cable dispatch to Lieutenant Brainard at
Colon ordering him to charter Il steamer
and proceed at once to the relief of the
shipwrecked crew The City of Para, it is
expected, will get away promptly to the
relief of TIE kearsarge's crew. 1t seems
to be expected that after she takes them
up she will proceed at once to New York,
and will not put into the nearest port and
send word of the condition of the wrecked
snip ana crew. i MS WpltII uelGE Inb re-
ception of any further news on the subject
till the arrival of the City of Para at New
York.
Great regret was expressed by the mem
bers of the house naval committee when
he news of the wreck of the kearsarge
as made known to them. The chairman
Mr.. Cummings, said that the navy could
ill afford to lose any of its vessels at this
time when their presence was required to
protect American interests at so many for
eign ports
1t was on Sunday, June 10, 1864, that the
Kearsarge fought and sank the rebel priva-
teer Alabama off Cherbourg, France.
1t was the good or i'll fortune of the
Kearsarge to be one of the best cruisers in
the navy, and that, too, in spite of the fact
that she was more than 30 years old and
had of course wooden hull. Her excel
lence as cruiser has kept her busy for
four years past in the home station, which
duty includes the patrolling of West Indian
waters, and for much of that time she has
been within the tropics.

WAR ALMOST OVER.
Peixoto Orders an Election in Brazil Flo
March 1.

Rio DE JANEIRO Feb o. - President
PeiXoto has issued IL decree ordering con.
gressional and presidential election for
March l. The Constitutional party will
nominate Senior Prudente Moraes for
president and Senior Manoel Pereira for
vice president.
President PeiXoto gave a big reception
to United States Minister Thompson and
Rear Admiral Benham Thursday.
The general belief at Rio de Janeiro is
that the rebellion is practically at an eud
and that it is not likely that there will be
any more fighting of Importance, as the
presidential election will now take up the
attention of both parties.
The daily cannonadinG IS still kept up,
but with less vigor than formerly. The
warship Aqujdaban and another insurgent
vessel have left the harbor. 1t is supposed
that their intention is to intercept Presi-
dent PeiNoto's new squadron and chal-
lenge it to surrender on the outside, where
it could have no support from the govern
ment forts

In the Senate.

The right of the secretary of the treasury
to issue United States bonds at this time
was again the subject of controversy in the
senate The resolution of Senator Stewart
came up under the rules and a motion
made by Senator Butler of South Carolina
to refer it to the committee on judiciary
provoked lively opposition. Senator Quay
took decided stand in favor of disposing
of the matter in open senate instead O.:
giving it decent burial by referring it to
n committee from which it would never
emerge, and he intimated that Senator
Sherman gave to the country an apparent
justification of Secretary Carlisle's action
when the Ohio senator clearly knew it to
be illegal.
y strong speech was made by Senator
Teller, i'll which he depicted the deplorable
financial condition of the country and
called upon his Republican colleagues to
bear their fell share of the responsibilities
of the hour and not attempt ~ throw upon
the dominant party the entire burden of
devi>ing remedies for the impending panic

polling the Rock Island railroad to stop at
the oklahoma town sites instead of seek
ing to build up rival towns on sites owned
by the road for speculative purposes adj
jacent to the legal sites publicly establish
ed by the interior department.. His de
nuuciation of the methods of the Rock Is
land road in keeping representatives here
to defeat this bill, he said, had Il direct APP
plication to the attorneys Of the company,
who, he charged, occupied the gallery
while debate WAS in progress.
No final vote was reached on the bill,
but Senator Berry will urge it again ut the
beginning of next week. The senate re
sumed its old practice of adjourning from
! Thursday until Monday.
