Engineer Smith Dead.

MIR, Samuel I. Smith, whose death
resulted from injuries received in the
wreck last Sunday, was buried in
Bristol yesterday.
Mr., Smith began railroading while
he was but youth, about twenty
years ago, and during that time his
railroad life was almost entirely free
from accidents. After he became an
engineer, which was years ago, an &C.
cident never befell him until Sunday
afternoon. He was a good man, q
faithful and efficient engineer and q
great favorite with the superior officers
of the company lie worked for, as well
as with his co-laborers. The circum

his life make his death most sad one

WASHINGTON, Feb. Ex-senator Nor
gan submitted the report that he has
been preparing on Hawaii to the fuIl
membership of the Committee on Foreign
Relations to-day, and it was adopted by
majority vote. Four Republican mem
bers of the committee voted for Morgan's
report, and four Democratic members
voted against. These four Democrats will
prepare a minority report next Mondny
morning.
The Republican mem bers of the COM
mittee do not fully concur in the report
prepared by Morgan. though it does not
criticise Minister Stevens. The report
leans toward annexation, and generally
favors the policy of the late Administra-
ton. It, however, does not criticise in
as vigorous terms as the Republicans
wish the policy of the present Admins
tration, although drawn in such language
that the Republicans feel they can sub
scribe TO it even if it does not go quite as
far as desired. 1t is much more In line
with the policy advocated by the Repub-
leans than was at tlrst anticipated. IL
vas thought at first that perhaps the re-
,ort would not satisfy either the Demo-
Il
cans, and perhaps three reports would be
presented. This is the rule 10 certain
extent. but the Democrats feel compelled
20 submit a minority report. 1t is pos
sible some individual opinions will be
submitted by the Republican members of
the committee, stating that whlIe they
concur in the report in the main, some
features viii be objected to. All the testl-
mony viii be submitted with the report
next Monday.
The House Committee on Interstate and
Foreign Commerce to-day voted to make

Rio DE JANEIRo, Feb. 21.-The rebel
cruiser Aquidaban left the bay at o'clock
this morning to join the Republica, the
latter having on board Admiral de Mello.
The Aquidaban got under way during the
darkness and at a speed of eight knots
steamed through the channel and toward
the harbor entrance, as if no such things
as torpedoes and submarine mines were
in existance. When nearing the forts at
the entrance of the bay the rebel ship was
discovered and the garrisons were called
to arms. A hot fire was directed upon
her, but the Aquidaban steamed steadily
ahead and succeeded in passing the forts,
although struck several times. The forts
kept firing until she was out of range,
but it is not believed any serious damage
was inflicted. When some distance of
shore the Aquidabam met the Republica
and both vessels steamed in a southerly
direction. 1t is reported on shore that the
two rebel warships have gone In search OF
the Nictheroy, and the latter is not very
far off. 1t is understood an American
warship and one or more foreign vessels
are to follow the AQuidaban ana RepuD-
lica to witness the engagement.
DE MELLo TRIES TO RE-ENTRR THE

BUENoS AYREs, Feb. 21.-The follow

publica, with Admiral De MellO aboard,
made an attempt to re-enter Rio Bay,
but was prevented by the heavy fire Of
the forts.
Yellow fever is rapidly spreading here,
and hundreds of deaths from the disease
are reported daily.
Three officers of the Government army
at Santos, who were suspected of treason,
have been shot. The authorities are COM
peling foreigners to perform military
service. The foreign Consuls have lodged
with the Government energetic protests
against the action.
The insurgent land forces have arrived
at Itanhaen, in the province of Sac PauIO,
and forty miles south Of the city of Sac
Paulo. A number Of political prisoners
have escaped from the Government iails
and joined the rebel on the frontier of
Parana.
HAVE TO LOOK To THE AMERICAN SQUAD
RON FOR PROTECTION.
New YORK, Feb. 2l.-A Rio Janeiro
special to the WOrld says: The insur-
gents refused to-day to allow
Waterfront alongside the English mer-
chant ship NasInyth. The Captain OF the
ship appealed to the commander of the
British squadron for safe conduct for the
boat. The British commander refused.
The Nasmyth's Captain went to Admiral
Benham, stated his case and asked protec-
ton for the water-bOat.
Admiral Benham promptly granted the
English Captains request, and Lieuten-
ant kilburn conducted the water boat
under American flags. The rebels did
not fire upon the boat. The British
squadron is roundly denounced. 1t has
come to be the common saying that all
nationalities must seek protection in the
bay from the American squadron.

1t May be Affected by one Soon to be
Heard Before the supreme Court.
WASHINGTON, Feb. Pit is said by
legal authorities about the United States
Supreme Court that the status Ofthe con-
tention between Prince and Princess
Colonna may be materially affected by
case soon to be heard before the court.
The question to be determined is as to
the extent to which the judgment OF
French court can be enforced in the
United States, and involves judgment
for 100000 given by French courts
against Hilton, Hughes & Go. of New
York. The French Judgment is being
contested on the ground that the case
should have been tried in this country,
where the American defendants could re-
ceive a full and fair jury hearing. 1t has
also been urged the French courts gave
no recognition to the DEGREES or judg-
ments OF American courts, and that if an
American wants redress IN France he
must go to France to get it.
Should the Supreme Court sustain the
French judgment it is said precedent
will be established governing the
Colonna case and other international liti-
cations. If, however, the precedent is es-
tablshed that foreign DEGREES can be
certified to in courts in this country, ana
enforced. it would permit the giving of
the French decree as to the Colonna petit
ton effect in this country.

Mr.. Huntington was asked if the Pa

intimated that such a thing might hap

better say that a lew noisy people were

WASHINGTON, Feb. l.-Sergeant-at-
Arms Snow of the House arrested seven
members of Congress on the floor of the
House this afternoon for having absented
themselves from the session. Deputy
Sergeant-at-Arms Hill made eight or
ten arrests on the floor. The arrests were
made by merely touching the members
and then taking their parole to appear at
the bar of the House tomorrow noon.
The arrest OF members on the floor is
almost without precedent.
speaker Crisp has directed the Ser
geant-at-ArmS TO execute warrant for
an arrest without reference to the place
where the members are. and this has led
to the unusual step Of arresting the MEM
bers on the floor. When brought before
the bar of the House tomorrow they will
be called upon to explain their absence
at the time the warrants were issued on
Monday night.
The names of the members now under
arrest are being withheld, owing to the
discredit attaching to such apprehension.
Deputy Hill continued to make arrests
throughout the city wherever member
could be found. so that there promises to
be large delegation of arrested members
