THE BLOCKADE AT RIO.

Admiral Benham'S Action Causes q
Change III the Situation.
Copyright, 1894. by the Associated Press.
Rio DE JANEIRO, Feb. $50 long as
Mello was in charge of the insurgent YES
sells in Rio Bay no blockade was permit
ted in the harbOr and vessels of foreign
nations were allowed to freely enter the
bay, discharge their cargoes and depart.
When Da CANA joined Mello and issued
his famous imperial manifesto he de-
clared that he meant to stop all commerce
with Rio. England, he announced, as if
on the authority OF British officials, was
anxious for the restoration of the mon
archy throughout Brazil and the over
throw of reciprocity. Following close up
on this declaration he issued warning
to all vessels that they must not attempt
to discharge their cargoes. Other insur-
gent leaders made the same threats.
Thompson, United States Minister
made a vigorous protest, insisting that
Da CANA had no right to institute such a
blockade. Thompson visited Captain
Henry Picking, IN command of the
American warship, and asked him to
afford protection to all American vessels.
Picking said if American sailors were
shot while the vessel was in the act of dis
charging her cargo ne would promptly
prosecute the Captain of the rebel war
ship responsible for the sailors death.
Beyond this Picking seemed unwilling to
go. Thompson was thus rendered power
less to do anything more.
Now everything is changed, owing to
the determined action of Admiral Ben
ham. 1t is impossible to discharge car
goes elsewhere. All the tugs used i'll
towing vessels are owned by Brazilians,
and De Cana threatens to promptly seize
them if they tow lighters which are dis
charging. Benham thinks the risk at the
wharves slight. but refuses to advise the
American Captains how they should act.
He is determined, however, to afford
them all the protection he can.

Over q Quarter of a Million Dollars
Worth of Property Destroyed.
OMAHA, Feb. 4.-Shortly before 7
O'Clock last night fire broke out in the
show windows of the Boston store, and
five minutes later the entire building was
ablaZe The store was crowded with
clerks and customers, it being the custom
to keep open on Saturday night, and the
third floor OF the building was occupied
as night school. There was at once a
panic among the people in the store, and
"a mad rush for the exits began, men,
women aud children crowding for the
streets, salesgirls and cash girls leaving
their outer belongings. Everybody es-
capped alive, but number OF girls en-
ployed in the millinery and cloak de-
partment were badly scorched and
blistered, several losing all the hair from
their heads. On the west OF the burning
building stood ST. Magdalene's Church,
and il was quickly on fire and burned like
a tar barrel. on the south and across
Douglass street was the Young Mems
Christian Association building aud a
row of three-story flats. On the ground
floor of the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation building is Thompson 81 Belden's
dry-goods store. They suffered eonsid-
erable loss, and the upper floor Of the
flats was.cleaned out. The intense heat
from the Boston store building kept the
firemen out of that portion OF Douglass
street for half an hour and that gave the
flames a chance to get across the street.
So rapidly did the Boston store burn that
the cashier abandoned the cash in the
drawer and the bookkeepers had to leave
the books on which they were working.
The safe door was open, but no one dared
to tempt death by trying to close it. The
escape of the inmates from the blazing
Undertook was all but miraculous. The
losses OF the Boston store foot up S235, 600:

make II appear that no department was

that half the entire reduction was made
In that department.
That his argument is not founded on
the facts OF the case, and that he makes
a number OF mis- statements, any person
who Is even only ordinarily acquainted
with the facts will observe at a glance.
without going into the highway depart
ment, the maintenance account OF the
water department and sewer construction
account, the reductions amount 10 f1i6,
43O, instead OF 1880 as he puts II, so
that the reduction OF the school depart
ment is only about one.seventh OF the
entire cut instead OF being over one half
as the interested Chairman OF the school
department put 1t.
The School Boards estimate was for
nearly one quarter OF the entire revenue
OF the city SO that 1t will be seen thst the
department was treated quite Literally.
Now, then, what are the facts in the
case?
The Chairman OF the School Committee
admits that the appropriation for teach
ers' wages, with the sums received from
other sources, will amount to s69,45O7e
and, with the usual increase expected, 1t
ought to easily reach 10000. This leaves
them but 5000 short OF their estimate,
but this is an increase over the expense
OF last year. Why such increase is re-
quired Is not shown.
The estimate of the Water Works de-
partment was only about one-twentieth
Of the city's revenue, s35, 900, but the sum
OF go, 600 was Topped of by the City Coun-
cil--considerable more than half.
A number of other like instances could
be cited bul the above should be sufficient.

IssuInq OF Bonds By Secretary Carlisle.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 8l-Judge Cox de
MED the application Of the Knights OF
Labor for an injunction TO restrain secre-
tary Carlisle from issuing bonds The
principal ground Of his decision was that
the applicants had no proper standing In
court
The action Of the house judiciary COM
mittee and the application of the Knights
OF Labor for an injunction against Secre-
tary Carlisle to restrain him from issuing
bonds at all, together with other state
ments from prominent Republican, as to
the validity Of tho bonds TO be sold, has
had . very damaging effect on their pros
pective sale. Secretary Carlisle on his
visit to New York found II necessary, he
says, to explain the meaning Of a resolu-
ton of the house judiciary committee
concerning his authority to issue bonds.
The impression has gotten abroad that
the com mittee denied the authority Of the
secretary TO issue bonds under the re-
sumption act, for any purpose, but the
resolution merely declares that the pro-
eeeds Of suoh bonds shall be used for
none other than resumption purposes.
Many persons here believe that the reso-
luton was intended TO exert an unfavora-
BILE influence and produce q scare, thus
hoping to force the secretary to change
his policy.
The bonds will be sold and the proceeds
will be used as the needs of the govern
ment may require. II congress will do
nothing toward providing for the current
expenses Of the government, the secretary
says be will use such resources and appli-
ances as are within his reach. and he be-
lieves the people will sustain him In
doing So
