CRITICAL SITUATION.
Affairs at Rio De Janeiro
 Takes Another Turn.
SEVERAL SENSATIONAL REPORTS.

Advices From Buenos Ayres State That
 United States War Vessels Are Taking
 Hand and That Da Cana Is a Pris-
 oner of Peixoto-Admiral Benham Pro-
 tecting American Ships.
 BUESos AyREs. Jan. 31.-It is re- ported here that the situation of affairs at Rio de Janeiro is most critical. Heavy firing is reported and it is said that United States war vessels have been engaged with the result that Ad- miral Da Gama is said by one report to have surrendered, aua according to an other report to have withdrawn his ships from the immediate neighbor- hood of Rio de Janeiro.
 These sensational reports are not yet confirmed, but there seems to be no doubt that serious events are happen ing at Rio de Janeiro, and the Ameri- can admiral has taken energetic steps to protect American interests.
 AS this dispatch is being sent re- port reaches here that Admiral Da Gama IS a prisoner in the hands of President Peixoto. It is also rumored an insurgent man of war fired upon the American fleet and the latter re- turned the shots.

wir Protect Ameriean ships.

RIO DE JANE1Ro, Jan. 31.-[Copy- righted by the Associated Press. Yes terday was one of the most exciting days that Rio de Janeiro has experienced since the commencement of hostilities between the insurgents and the Bra gillian government. The United States naval fleet stationed i'll this harbor has furnished the excitement
 The cause of all the trouble was the treatment of three American barks which were subjected on last Saturday to an indiscriminate fusilade from the insurgent warships.
 On Saturday last, while lying at an- ehor, all three vessels were endan- gered by the chance shots fired by the insurgents. These whistled through the rigging and passed over the men at work upon the decks. Many of the crews of the three vessels narrowly es- capped being shot. After suffering a great deal of annoyance and running great risks in the hope that the in- surgents would realize the folly of their action and put stop to their reckless firing, the three captains held hurried conference and determined to appeal for protection to the United States warships and to request that the barks be given an escort to the wharves.
 A conference was held with Admiral Benham by the three captains, and it was decided to notify Da Gama of the action of his men.
 Accordingly Admiral Benham sent one of his officers to the Aquidaban with orders to acquaint Admiral Da Gama with the facts in the case and to ask him to have an end put to the reck- less gunning.
 Da Cana was apparently in very bad humor when the American officer arrived aboard the Aquidaban and with many exclamations of impatience he listened to the recital of the American captain.
 When the American officer had fin ished making his statement Da Gama, with a shrug of his shoulders, said in very sharp tone: 1t is not my fault. The American ship captains should know enough to keep themselves and their crews out of the range of my guns. shall not take any notice of this mat ter"
 This curt response to his message aroused the ire of Admiral Benham, and he determined to make such a showing that it would produce lasting effect upon the insurgents.
 Monday morning the greatest activ- ity prevailed on board the fleet. Shortly after daybreak the decks of the flag ship New York, the Newark, San Faan- cisco. Detroit and other United States vessels were cleared for action and their anchors were raised.
 Admiral Benham then sent word to the captains of the Good News, Juda Rollins and Amy, the three American brigs, that he was prepared to keep his promise to them and that as soon as they were ready to proceed he would escort them to the wharves.
 The captains of the Good News and ,Juda Rollins weakened and refused to accept, but Captain Blatchford of the Amy was ready and his boat was es- corted to the Rio harbor. The vessel was safely landed without the least hindranee.
 Full protection will be given from this time on to all American vessels. as Minister Thompson has all along re- Questei

PINE BLUFF. ARK, JAN. 31, 1Sa4
KENYON HzH7LLM.

Congressman Benton McMillin, of Tennessee, is not an orator, accord ing to the classic type, but he is one of th hardest workers and most clear ana logical reasoners in the lower Houaa Mr. McMillin is a member of tstfl Committee on Ways and Means, ana is chairman of the subcommittee in charge of the in come tax bill, which has been re- ported along with and attached to the Wilson bill. Monday Mir Me Millin made q speech in the House in advocacy of the income tax which is werable in it's logic and argument. He showed clearly the justness of such a tax-as must be admitted by all except those blinded by personal and selfish interest-and submitted an argu- ment which the Republicans will find it difficult to answer. It ap- pears to us that there is no scheme of government more just in it's pro. visions than that which taxes wealth and not poverty. Under the protective tariff policy of the Re- publican party large fortunes have been amaSsed by governmental operations at the expense of the great mass of the people, and it is nothing short of justice that those who have been made rich by the Government should contribute the larger portion to the needs of the National Treasury. As Mir Me Millin said in substance, the man who has $l, 900, 000 worth of prop erty should pay larger proportion ate share to the Government for it's protection than the man who has only humble home. Let the eX- pense of government be bourne by those who reap the greatest benefit. Let the taxes be levied on incomes and inheritances and not upon con sumption. 1t is obviously more just that the person with an income of $5, 1000 or $l0, 900 a year should pay agreater proportion to the Govern ment than the man with no income except from his daily labor and with a wife and family to support. The burdens and benefits of the Govern ment have heretofore not been shared equally. Under the present system the person who bears the greatest burden reaps the least benefit, while the persoH who reaps the greatest benefit bears the least part of the burden. All ot this should be changed, and the burdens of the Government more equitably and evenly distributed This the Democratic party is pledged to do, and in his advocacy of the income tax bill Benton McMillin has rem dered a distinguished service to his party and the great mass of the American people. Let the bill be passed.

WE observe that the editors of the Fishback organs are the only ones tearing their shirts over the propo- sition for Senatorial primaries.

TnE Gasettc well makes the point that should Senatorial primaries be held it may weaken the cause oi many a Democratic candidate for the Legislature. To illustrate the point Suppose that in some county where primaries were held only a small majority should be cast for Fishbaek. would not the friends of Senator Berry (assuming that they are the only candidates be little luke-warm at the general election, which might result in the defeat of the Democratic nominee for the Legislature. It is not entirely certain that after a hot and exciting canvass that the friends of the de feated candidate on either the Berry or Fishback ticket would feel very enthusiastic for the Democratic nominee at the general election. It IS always wise to be a little slow in making new innovations and untried experiments. It is an old proverb that it is better to bear the ills We have than to fly to those we know not of.
