Canse--House of Commons.

Copyright 1884, by the United Press)
RIO DE JANEIRo, Jan. Admiral
Da Gamo. commander OF the insurgent
fleet in the harbor. published yesterday
a manifesto which was intended 70 coun-
terac. the effect Of his celebrated declara-
tion Of a month ago in favor OF the mon
archy. This declaration has weakened
the cause Of the insurgents greatly in the
last three or four weeks, and has alien
ated from Mello and Cana several OFF,
GERS. who. before its appearance, had been
their trusted friends and allies.
Not Monni chist DO unont
Among the people at large its effects
have been still more unfavorable to the
insurgents cause. Consequently. In his
manifesto yesterday, Admiral Da Cana
asserted that his former declaration was
not a monarchist document This declara-
ton, as well as other papers attributed
to him, he said In the manifesto Of yester-
day had beer altered and printed in falsi-
fed copies. He had not declared for the
monarchy, but had intended merely TO
ask the people Of Brazil what form Of
republican government they want. Other
interpretations OF his declaration had not
been mad in good faith.
Injure, Rather .han Helps the Caus-.
This last manifesto has fallen fiat.
Friends OF the reub.ic regard IL as
passing manoeuvre 10 win support TO the
insurgents cause. While not gaining for
the insuuection any, new republican
friends, the manifesto has disguised
many OF its former supporters, as the
monarchists are thoroughly disguised
with DaGama's backd0wE.
All is quiet and orderly here at
present. There is no shooting in pro-
gress.
Great Britain VIII Not Intrif.
LONDON, Jan. I'm reply to a Ques-
ton asked in the House Of Commons
to-day, by Arthur Forwood. who is a
prominent ship-OWner, Mr.. Gladstone
said that during the operations at Rio
de Janeiro the government had been In
constant communication with the Bri-
tish Minister TO Brazil and the senior
officer Of he British fleet at Rio de
Janelro. British ships had received from
the British representatives the same
protection that had been accorded the
ships Of other nations. by the represen-
tatives Of the several powers. The Bra
lillian insurgents were not recognized as
belligerents by Great Britain. and the
government could not undertake 10 in
any way interfere IN any quarrel in
progress I'm Brazil.
Mr.. Gladstone concluded by declar-
ing that he was surprised that such a
question as had been put by Forw0od
should have been asked.

BdNK OF ENGLdND ATTACKED.
Paper Says Unless it Changes it's Policy
Financial Crisi. Will Follow.

LONDON. Jan. 2.-The Investors Re
view publishes an alarmist article on the
Bank Of England. in which il makes a
somewhat severe attack upon the gov
ernOrs and court Of the bank. II pre-
diets that unless change is made I'm
the banks methods OF business a finan-
cal crisis will be brought about, COM
pared with which tie I cent Bl-iag fail-
ure will be OF small importance
The article attacks the bank with refer
ence to it's discount business. u says
that after years Of observation, the con-
clusi0n has been reached that the bank
does not abide by the rate OF discount
fixed by the court, and thereby sustains
at times some bad losses. I'm support of
this contention the paper points out the
manner in which the. bank was entangled
i'm the Murrieta failure. The article more
than hints that the secrets in connection
with the management OF the bank are
worse than any yet made public.

There is not the same necessity Tor ac-

with the House. for the former BODY VIII

Therefore the proceedings in the senate

be made to begin formally the considera-

hardly likely that the programme VIII

few speeo hes. and about Thursday or
Friday a recess may be taken until the
following Monday.
The long anticipated debate on the
tariff bill is expected to begin IN the
House tomorrow. Much. however, de-
pcnds upon Mr. Wilson. the chairman Of
the Ways and Means Committee. Mr.
Wilson is 50 exhausted with the unre-
hitting labors Of the past few months
that some doubt IS expressed tonight If
he will be physically able TO speak on
the measure before Thursday. His speech
is still uncompeted. although he hopes
TO finish it before the beginning Of to-
morrow's session. IL the chairman finds
himself unable to address the House on
the tariff question Wednesday, the bill
VIII probably be taken up and read in
extenso. This will occupy several hours,
and il is not improbable that when this
shall have been done, the fortihcation
bill. which Is now on the calendar. may
be taken up, and occupy the remainder
Of the day. There Is some doubt as 20

President regarding Hawaii II quorum
Of Democrats be present Chairman Nc
Creary may call up his resolution, after
a few speeches have been made on the
tariff bin. and rush 1t through the House.
McCreary is hardly likely TO do this, how
ever. unless there are sufficient number
of Democrats in attendance TO insure the
passage of the resolution.
No definite programme has been arrang-
ed for tomorrow. If Mr.. Wilson is ready
the discussion Of the tarin will be begun.
