low rate bankers Will be glad to avail them
selves OF this opportunity to employ their
idle funds. The withholding OF bids is q
device TO force a larger Issue OF per cent

sirable than a per cent issue on per

COMMENT IN LONDON.
An OmciaI of the Foreign Office on the
Surrender ut Rio.

Surrender mt Rio.
LONDON, Jan. 3O.-A high official of the
British foreign Office, on being told that Da
CANA had surrendered to the United states
admiral at Rio, expressed the opinion that
1t might be true as it would be the eusiest
way out of great difficulty.
But the official remarked he did not see
what the United States admiral would dc
with Da Cana and the insurgents who sur
rendered with him. Admiral Benham, he
added. could not very we'll surrender the
insurgents to President Peixoto, who would
undoubtedly shoot them. and it was hard
Iy probable that the United States govern
ment would care to assume the care of a
mass of Brazilian insurgents for an indefi-
mite period.
If it was true that the insurgents had
surrendered to the u S. admiral the lat
ter would seem to have a white elephant
of the biggest description on his hand.
In conclusion, the Official said that he
could not believe that Admiral da Cana
would be mad enough to deliberately fire
upon the American ships, although the
strained relations, foreshadowed in the re-
cent dispatches, showed that Admiral Ben
ham undoubtedly, while protecting Ameri-
can shipping, was likely TO come within
the line of Admiral da Gamas fire.
BALTIMORE, Jan. 3O.-EuSene Levering
& Company, who are largely interested in
the American barks at Rio Janeiro, last
night received a cablegram from Rio, dated
yesterday, to the effect that the American
bark Amy, from Baltimore. would attempt
during the day to discharge her cargo. Mr..
Levering believed that such action would
lead to serious trouble. He knew the bark
Good News had been in Rio almost a
month without being able to reach her
pier, because of insurgent threats to sink
her if the effort to unload was made.
Mr.. Levering was greatly relieved when
shown the dispatch from Rio Janeiro this
morning stating that Admiral Benham had
succeeded in thwarting Admiral Da Cana S
plan of destruction. Mr.. Levering con-
firmed the statement that the Julia Rollins
was fired on last week

LETTERS FROM HAWAII
A Fresh Batch is Expected Soon to Be
Sent TO Congress.

Another batch of dispatches from Minister
Willis at Honolulu has been I'm the Presi-
dents possession for several days, and it is
believed that the correspondence will be
transmitted to Congress in a few days. A
rumor that the president meant TO withhold
1t until Saturday is not credited
1t is understood that Minister Willis has
forwarded another extraordinary letter.
from President Dole in the form of a de-
tailed response to his request for a bill of
particulars to how and when he had
given the people of Hawaii to understand
that he would use force, il necessary for
the restoration of Queen Liliuokalani
1t is believed that the President will
make some remarks to Congress in regard
to this letter and that his next message
will be longer than his last two. 1t may
go in tomorrow or next day.

Proceedings May BE Begun in Illinois
by the Attorney General.
CHICAGO, Jan. 3O.-The Inter Ocean to-
day publishes a story declaring that infor-
nation has been filed with Attorney Gen.
eral Maloney to enable him to begin pro-
ceedings for the dissolution Of the Chicago
Gas Trust.
The story recites at great length the his
tory of the consolidation of the gas COM
panies, the payment of $1,000 900 for bonds
the check for the amount, however, not be-
ing sent through the clearing house. The
information filed with the attorney general
declares that the bonded Indebtedness OF
the gas trust Is about SIS, ,0OO, 900, and that
the larger part Of this debt was accrued
without necessity. The attorney general
the Inter Ocean says, will be asked to pro-
ceed against the trust on the ground that
1t is a trust and has stihed lawful competi.
ton.
Attorney General Maloney, when seen al
his home in Ottawa, ILL.,, last night, and
asked whether he intended to proceed
against the trust on the ground that IL was
an unlawful organization, said that he did
not desire to talk upon the subject either
as to the legality of the so-called trust, OF
as to his intentions.

Passenger Rate War Likely.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 3O.-A morning paper
says: Pressure is being brought to bear on
the Burlington to withdraw it's second-class
rates between st. Louis and ST.. Paul, and
the Burlington still stands pat'' at the
double rate. At solicitation of the roads
doing business between st. Louis and St
Paul via Chicago the first-class rate from
st. Louis to st. Paul was advanced to SIG,
while the second-class remained at 1880
This allows big scalp ON st. Louis, Chi

THE BAILEY RESOLEUION.
Republican Members Who Voted for II
Give Their Views.

Representative w. a. Stone of Pennsyl-
vania has prepared a report giving the
views of the republican members of the ju-
dietary committee who voted for the Bailey
resolution. 1t goes at length into the fiscal
policy of the government when the re-
sumption act was passed and discusses the
authority the Secretary possesses. In the
course of the report it says that the pro-
posed action of the Secretary will have a
more pernicious effect on the business and
credit of the country than any temporary
failure Of Congress to provide sufficient
revenue to meet the expenses of the gov
ernment.

DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.
The Protest of the lexington Road
Other Matters of Interest,

Manager Schoepf of the EckinSton and
Soldiers Home Railroad has written a LET
ter to the Commissioners protesting against
a revocation of the permit granted the
company some days ago to pave between
Its tracks from Florida avenue and Eck;ng-
ton place to 4th street extended and the
Bunker Hill road with cobble stone. He
gives the following as his reasons for pro-
testing:
That under the legislation Ipon the sub
Ject, as stated by your attorney, .he Com
missioners have no authority to require
railway company to lay asphalt pave
ments between its tracks, nor to require a
railway company to change from one kind
OF pavement to another.
I'D. Because experience has demonstrate
ed conclusively that asphalt pavement be-
tween railway tracks is not desirable, for
the reason among others that it is not dur
able; the Inconvenience to the public re-
sulting from frequent repairs that are ne
cessary is far greater than could possibly
result to it from the use of cobble stone
pavement, which Is stated to be .Jne of the
most durable forms of pavement known.
AS a satisfactory solution of the whole
matter he suggests that a modified permi,
be issued to said railway company, author.
izing 1t to pave between its tracks and for
two feet exterior thereto on each side with
cobble stone, and requiring it TO pave al
street intersections, including sidewalks
with vitrifled brick on concrete base.

THE DEMOCRATIC SECRETARY.
Some Think That Geographical LOca-
ton should Enter Into the Selection

ton should Enter Into the Selection.
1t is said that the uncertainty in the Sc
lection of a secretary for the democratic
congressional campaign committee arises
from the fact that there is a feeling on the
part Of some members that both the secre-
tary and the chairman should not be chos-
en- from the east. 1t is claimed by these
members that in case Mr.. Stevens of Mas
sachusetts is made chairman the secretary
should be selected from the west
1t is not understood that there lis any per-
sonal contest between Mr.. Kerr and Mr..
Gardner, but that the friends of Mr.
Gardner point out that he has made and
would undoubtedly continue to make an
efficient and valuable secretary, and while
this fact is not contrCverted there is a
feeling on the part of some others that Mr.
Gardner's geographical location alone points
to the wisdom of selecting some one else.
II an eastern chairman is chosen. 1t is
hardly believed. however that there will
be division Of those Offices on sectional
lines.
