The sub-Por, of Entry mt suma..

WHarcoM, July Especial. l-Sumas
people are greatly elated over the estab-
lishment of a SUPPORT of entry there, for
they hardly expected it in the face of the
opposition developed here and especially
after the visit of special agent of the
treasury department sent several weeks
ago by Mr.. Culiom. The favorable action
of the department was evidently due to
the excellent showing made in the appli-
cation, which set forth that during the
quarter ending March 81, 1894, there were
delivered to the Canadian Pacific and
bonded at Sumas 1876 car loads of lumber
and shingles from the Seattle, Lake Shore
& Eastern road, and eight cars Of hops and
sixty-three cars of shingles from the Bel
lingham Bay & British Columbia road.
During the same quarter there were re-
ceived from the Canadian Pacific sixty
nine car loads of bonded freight, and the
number OF immigrants arriving was l0l.
Heretofore all the exports aud imports
passing through Sumas have been credited

CANNOT BE LANDED.
Da CANA Must Give Bond to Stav
Out of Brazil.

LISBON. April 3-The Portuguese Gov.
ernment has informed Admiral Da Cana.
who is now at Buenos Ayres a fugitive
with number of his followers on board
the Portuguese warships Mndello and
Albuquerque. that it cannot permit the
Brazilian refugees to land anywhere ex-
cepting in Portuguese territory, and then
only on such conditions that they cannot
return to Brazil in order to intervene in
the civil struggle. The Portuguese Gov
ernment is sending another warship to
Buenos Ayres in order to assist in the re-
moval of the Brazilian insurgents to Por-
tuguese territory.
The insurgents on board The Portuguese
warships now at Buenos Ayres are said to
be In most deplorable condition, many of
them suffering from wounds and diseases.

DYNAMITE BOATS.
1t Is Considered That the Vesuvius
Is a Failure.

WASHINGTON. April 3,-The dynamite
cruiser Vesuvius is likely to go out OF
commission so far as shell throwing
dynamite is concerned, as result OF the ac-
tion of the House Naval Committee to-day.
A provision was inserted in the naval ap-
preparation bill authorizing the Secretary
of the Navy in his discretion to alter the
Vesuvius into a torpedO-boat. The COM
mittee further agreed on three new tor
pede-boats. They are TO take the place of
the second dynamite cruiser not yet begun.
Congress has already appropriated funds
for the second cruiser. but the committee,
following the advice of the Secretary of
the Navy, provided that these funds be
used for three torpedo-boats instead of the
dynamite boats. The committee took a
further step in cutting down the item for
steel-plste. reducing it another S50o,0O0,
thus leaving it about 81, 600, 900, or a total
reduction of S2.50O.G00 from the estimates.

NO POLITICS IN 1T.
But the A. p. A. Took a Hand In

OMAHA, April 3.-Politics cut no figure
in Nebraska elections to-day. The only
question at stake was license or no license.
In fully 90 per cent of the towns that have
reported up to midnight license has car
ried. IN Nelson and Superior, where pro-
hibition has hitherto reigned, license
boards have been chosen. In Lincoln
there was but light vote polled. the ex-

to take lively interest In the choice of
School Directors. and many of them went
quietly to the polls and voted. The result
in Lincoln will not be known before morn

backed by the three political parties. with
some A. p. A. interest. There were two
tickets before the voters atSouth Omaha

ticket, backed by the A. P. A. This COM
binati made matters rather warm for a
time. and several fights were reported. but
so far as can be learned none actually took

WANT MEN OF FORCE.
Redmond's Remarkable Speech
to the Parnellites.
Peaceful Methods Are Well Enough
When They Do Not Degenerate
Into Farce.

DUBLIN. April 3.-The convention. of
the Irish independent party. more gener-
ally known as the Parnellite party, was
called to order to-day In the Rotunda.
Among those present were the Lord
Mayor of Dublin. the Lord Mayor of
Cork, John j. Clancy, NJ. F.. and others.
During the days session a dispatch was
received from the president of the Irish
Independents of New York as follows:
The Irish Independent party of New York
sends greetings and wishes you God.speed in
your fight for Irish liberty and an Irish Parlia-
ment. Draw on our treasurer, John Brennan,
at Bank of Ireland, Dublin for $4,000.
EDWARD O'FLAHERTY President.
H. G. BANN ON, Secretary.
A message OF sympathy was also re-
ceived from the irish Independents of Chi
cago. John Redmond in an address said
the convention was imperative. The poit-
ical situation was so changed that leaders
felt they could not continue to bear alone
the responsibility for the future policy of
the Irish Ind spendent party and they had
decided to call the present meeting. Fiji
teen years of labor, sacrifice and suffering
were endangered. The cause of Ireland
was confronted almost by ruin because of
tuo ociuoH JbhIOuolco VI Hou WuOs uuuoE
the name of anti-Parnellitss, were slav-
shly subservient to the English and in
jured the cause of the people they repre-
sented by their petty disputes
The speaker then stated that it would
be the policy of Lord Rosebery to make
concessions to the Unionists to the detri-
ment OF Ireland and home rule. Re-
ferring to the constitutional agitation,
Redmond remarked that he believed in 1t
when it was conducted by fearless men,
but if this class of agitation was allowed
to sink into farce anG a sham, as il had
10 the hands of the anti-Parnellites. then
1t was better that it be abolished and that
men of stern methods and resolution come
to the front as soon as possible.
Mr.. Redmond concluded his remarks by
saying The electorate of Clare demanded
that he should not support the Govern
ment, as the latter had refused TO release
their Irish political prisoners. and when
he returned to the House OF Commons
he would tell Sir William Vernon Har-
court that the latter intended to kill John
Daily in Jail, and ii the registration bill
preceded the evic;ed-tenants bill he would
advise the evicIed tenants to return to
their homes and stop there.
Resolutions were offered by the May or of
Cork decla ring that the Government had
forfeited all claims to the confidence of
Irishmen and calling upon the Irish men,
bers OF Parliament TO strive for an early
dissolution of Parliament. These Iesolu-
tiOnS were carried with loud cheers.

tirement, therefore. is worth more than
passing notice. Admiral Benham was
appointed to the navy as midshipman in
1867 and has served continuously ever
since, making his way up through all the
grades.
The act which led to his latest fame was
the protection extended to the American
merchant marine, and through that to the
merchant marine of the world, while the
Brazilian rebels were in possession of the
harbor of Rio de Janeiro. The rebels,
under command of Admiral da Cana, had
a powerful fleet in Rio at that time and
were carrying matters with rather q high
hand. Merchant ships were allowed to
approach the wharves of the city to re-
ceive and discharge cargo only upon rebel
sufferance, and frequently not at all. and
this blockade was maintained despite the
presence of foreign warships upon the
scene, although no nation had recognized
the belligerent rights of the rebels. This
was the condition when Admiral Benham
raised his flag on the cruiser San Fran
cisco. The American admiral changed
all that. On the 28th of Janu-
ary last three American barks lying
q
sire to 20 to the docks, and their captains
were warned by Da Cana that they would
be fred upon should they attempt it. The
captains appealed to Benham. That was
on Sunday. Benham told the captains of
the merchant vessels that the next day he
would escort them to their docks, and so
notified the rebel admiral. On Monday
but one of the barks. the Amy of New
York, desired to take the chances. Ad-
miral Benham put his fleet in position.
cleared his decks for action and ordered
the Detroit TO escort the Amy 10 her berth.
The rebel cruiser Trajano fired on the Amy
and the Detroit fired blank cartridge
upon the Trajano, following this with
solid shot which struck the rudder of the
rebel. Then Da Cana quit He had been
given taste of Yankee quality and he did
not like 1t. protesting vigorously against
the public manner Of his humiliation. The
upshot OF the affair was that the blockade
OF Rio was broken, and with the blockade
eventually fell the rebellion.
