'X UNDER THE AMERICAN FLAG to British Sailors at Rio Applying Admiral Benham for Protection Trampling Their Flag in the Dirt and Cheering Ours. Rio Janeiro. Feb. 21 Copyright. The merchant vessels at this port are suffering extremely for want of water, because of the refusal of the insurgents to allow a water boat to go about the bay and supply such craft with fresh water. The captain of the British mer chantman Nasmith made application to the commander of a' British man-of-war for assistance necessary to enable him to obtain a supply of water and was con temptuously refused. The merchant skipper proposed applying to Admiral Benham for aid. Whereupon the com mander of the war vessel sneeringly answered that he might do . as he liked. The captain of the mer chantman then appealed to Admiral Behham.who assigned Lieut. Kilbourn to guard the water boat under the Ameri can flag. "Vessels of all nations are seek ing the protection of the United States flag. British sailors are openly cursing English officials, who, they declare, are sacrificing commerce to aid Da Gama. Evidence of the existing feeling in this respect is given in the fact that at the principal landing yesterday the British Hag. was trampled in the dirt by British sailors, whose officers expressed no word of disapproval of their act, which was accompanied by cheers for "Uncle Sam."

" SENATE Washington, Feb. 21. -Senator Allen, of Nebraska, offered a resolution calling on the Attorney General for a statement as to whether he had recently given to the Secretary of the Treasury an official opinion that silver certificates were not lawful money, and for a copy of such opinion and all correspondence on the subject. With a slight verbal modifica tion the resolntion was agreed to. Senator Voorhees, chairman of the Finance committee, rose to a question of personal privilege and sent to the clerk's desk and had read a Washington dis patch to the Philadelphia Press contain ing a statement as to Democratic mem bers of the committee waiting on Presi dent Cleveland at the White House and receiving instructions as to his desires on the subject of certain provisions of the bill. : i After the dispatch was read Senator Voorhees said: "The value of that dis patch from here to one of the leading newspapers of the United States consists in the-fact that there is not the slightest, faintest trace of truth in a single word or syllable in it. Nothing of this kind took j)lace, and nothing out of which it could be manufactured. Not a thread exists out of which this ! fabric of N falsehood could have been woven. The correspondent of this paper says that he asked me a question and that I made art evasive answer, but that he as in a position to state the facts, and thea he makes a statement which has no foundation at all. I can only say, in anticipation of some questions being asked me, that we are doing our work pretty rapidly and pretty well. A good deal of hard work has been done on. the Wilson bill, and there will not be much delay. The bill will be reported here at the earliest possible momenta and that moment is not very far off." X Senator Chandler asked Senator Voor hees to inform him and the Senate w,hether the Senator from Texas (Mills) orHhe Senator from New Jersey (Mc Pherson) was a member of the Finance committee. SenatoKyoorhees informed him that the record wpuld show who constituted the committee andthat the Senator should rather look at the record than go "speering" on with such questions as to who were at work , and who were not at work. They were pretty much all at work. The Sena tor from Texas had done magnificent work, and was one of the main stays of the committee. He (Voorhees-1 did hot The Sun's Cotton Review.

For sale by know what the Senator from New, Hampshire was af terK or what tia was after half the time. Senator Chandler said that he thought his inquiry a perfectly proper one. N N Senator Voorhees I have no disposi tion to give a curt answer to tha Senator from New Hampshire, but I will say to him that we are doing our business in our own way, and that it is none of his business Laughter he is not a member of the committee and has no duties con nected with it. We are hard at work and doing the best we can. Senator Chandler I beg to say that it is my business to know what the Finance committee is doing. It has a bill before it which is utterly destructive of the in dustries of New Hampshire. Senator Voorhees said that he was not to be betrayed into any loss of temper by anything which the Senator might say. Senator Manderson, Republican, of Nebraska, called attention to the news paper statement that Senator McPherson had been disgruntled by the fact that he had been left off the sub-committee in charge of the bill and had absented him self from the Senate Chamber and from the committee room, leaving the Senator from Texas to act in his place. - Senator Sherman, one of the Republi can members of the Finance committee, declared that the tariff had not been considered at all before the committee proper. He had been informed that it was the custom to refer such bills, in the first place, to a sub-committee of those in favor of them, and he had no fault to find with the Finance committee for do ing so in this instance. It is a matter of family arrangement, he said. If the other side desired to secure the services of the Senator from Texas who is f amil liar with the tariff question, we have no right to growl or object. It is sufficient for me to say now that the tarm Dili nas never vet been considered by the Finance feommittee, but it no doubt will be in due time. Senator Chandler Do you know who are, at this moment, members of the Finance Committee. Senator Sherman I do. Senator Chandler I want to know whether the Senator from New Jersey or the Senator from Texas is a member, or whether both of them are members. Senator Sherman Both of them can not be members. I suppose that the Senator from Texas is now perfecting tjhe duty which had been performed by the Senator from New Jersey, i Senator Piatt. Repuhlican, of Con necticut, interposed with a remark that Senators w?re entitled to know whether Senator Mills or Senator McPherson was a; member of the sub-committee that was considering the Tariff bilL Senator Vest, a member of the Finance committee asserted that there was no such thing as a sub-committee on the Tariff bill. That statement, he said, had grown out ot the active and prolific imagination which characterized the modern newspaper reporter. What had been done by the three Senators, (mean ing himself, Mills and Jones of Arkansas) had not been done under any appoint ment as a sub committee but because they appreciated the public necessity which required the bill to be reported as speedily as possible. "Let our friends on the other side," he said, "reserve their ordinance until that bill comes to the Senate. Do not let them put their gigantic intellect at work on this 'leather and prunella." ' Senator Voorhees said the committee was for action and as speedily as possi ble, and for that purpose it naa taiveu the course it did. He paid a complement to the distinguished, able, patriotic and unselnsh Senator from JNew jersey wuu had rendered his aid to the committee whenever he was able to do so. The committee had done the best that it could. Whether there were three or seven Senators at work on the bill, help ing the Finance committee was a matter of no concern to any body. The distin guished and beloved Senator from North Carolina, (Vance), a member of the com mittee, was ill and unable to take any Dart in the matter. "Let this bill be passed," he added. "Let it be built up on the side of freedom, justice and equal taxation, and the business interests of tiTif-.rv W1U acnust menisci ves IO n and go forward. I have no fear on the subject of future-none whatever. Senator Mills, who had not been in the Senate Chamber during the discussion, entered at this point. Learning, as he explSed it, that he had been "dragged over the floor of the Chamber" on ac count of the part he had taken in trying to help his Democratic friends to dis charge the pledges which they had made to the country, he said he had no apolo gies to make for any part that he had taken in reducing the burdens which the. Republicans had placed upon the shoul ders of the people of the United States, and he did not feel that it was the duty of the Finance committee to consult those who were" receiving the plunder from the pockets of the vast throng of peo ple. The beneficiaries of the protective sys tem were not to be consulted about how much protection should be allowed them. Their complaints reminded him of the boy who complained that his brother did not let him enjoy himself , saying, "Ev ery time I try to have a little fun with him he yells and makes me unhappy." "What were you doing?' he was asked. "Why, I was just hammering him on the head with a mallet, and every time I hit him he yells; and how can I have any fun with him?" Laughter. Senator Chandler made some satirical references to Senators Vest, Mills and Jones (the tariff sub-committee), who, he said, were suffering from the effects of the election in Pennsylvania yesterday. This brought a retort from Senator Vest in kind. It had been long a ques tion in natural history, said Senator Vest, as to what purpose the mosquito was created f or." A naturalist who had spent some time in Florida had recently solved the problem , and said that the mosquito had been created in order to make certain human beings so uncom fortable that they would" be willing to leave this world iso as to s obtain the glories and bliss of the next world." "The Senator from , New Hampshire," said Senator Vest," takes in this body the place of the mosquito. He has been stinging and prodding everything in reach since his entrance into this Cham ber. If he has any other useful purpose I have never been able to understand it. There is no subject on which that Sena tor is not able and more than willing to drag in any one of his brother Senators if he can make him uncomfortable, even for a single second." Senator McPherson stated how it was at his request that Senator Mills was asked to take his place on the finance committee while he was absent from the city on account of ill health and he de clared Senator Mills entitled to his ever lasting gratitude for having done so. He had asked Senator Mills to remain on the committee as he himself was unable to attend its day sessions and its night sessions. After" some further discussion the episode closed at about 2:30 o'clock and the resolution of the Committee on For eign Relations against the proposed an nexation of the Hawaiian territory was taken up and Senator White, of Call f ornia, made a speech in support of it. A short executive session was held and the Senate at 5:30 o'clock p. m. adjourned until to-morrow. HOUSE OF EEPEESEJfTATIVKS. Less than four score Representatives were in their seats to-day when the ses sion of the House was opened, but dep uty sergeant-at-arms Hill asserted that a voting quorum would be, on hand in the course of the day. Mr. Bland would not say that the bill would be disposed of, however. He said a number of amendments would be offered to his Seigniorage bill, and upon them, of course, ' debate would follow under the five minute rule and he could net say when a vote would be reached.X After prayer and the reading of the journal Mr. Reed suggested that a report as in order from the sergeant-at-arms respecting his actions under the order to arrest absentees, so that the House might know liow the people stood . Col. Snow, thereupon, reported that all absentees were either vin the city or en route hither, xcept those ick and the excused ones, and seven who-, have been sent for by authorized deputies. Mr. Reed Hasx the gentleman from Ohio (3fr. Johnson) who-is reported in a Cleveland telegram this morning to be so defiant of, the authority of the House, manded the yeas and nays, thus intro ducing a variation of the routine of fili bustering and slightly complicating the situation. - On motion to order a call of the House the yeas were 161 and the nays 85 and the call was begun. Another twist was given the proceedings upon the call of the House. When the clerk had called the list of names once Mr. Bland asked if the presence of a quorum had been disclosed,and learning that 223 members had answered to their names, moved that further proceedings be dispensed with. A division of the House showed a large majority in favor of the motion, but Mr. Reed asked for tellers and Mr. Bland demanded that the yeas and nays be taken. The demand was seconded by a sufficient number and the call of the roll was made. By a vote of 176 to 21, the House voted to depense with fur ther proceedings under the call, and again the roll was called for a vote on Mr. Bland's motion to go into Committee of the Whole on his Seigniorage bilL It resulted--yeas, 157; nays, 8. : The smallest vote of the day. Mr. Bland moved that the House ad journ, but Mr. Talbott moved to amend by adjourning over to-morrow, Wash ington's birthday. This evoked a pas sionate declaration from Mr. Bland that until the Democratic party could provide quorum to do business, it should not ftter-eway its time' "on holidays. He then made the point that in the absence of a quorum a motion to adjourn over a day was not in order, which point the Speaker sustained,and put Mr.Bland's mo tion. A division showed 119 to 56 in fa vor of adjournment; and when Mr. Reed called for tellers; Mr. Mallory, Democrat of Florida, demanded the yeas and nays and they were ordered. The motion was agreed to yeas, 140; nays, 104 and at 4 o clock p. m. the House adjourned until to-moirow. COMMERCIAL NEWS. been sent f or?,. X The Speaker-The chair "is informed that a deputy has been eentto arrest him. Mr. Johnson is quoted as saying he would not regard a summons to return. Mr. Reed Are any of the Representa tives here under arrest? X x Mr. Snow There have been no fur ther ai rests. " Mr. Reed I should like to ask why? YouNhad no difficulty in arresting half a dozen Republicans. V Mr. Snow Mr. Speaker, I would like some information. Am I expected to arrest members upon the floor of the House? The Speaker The sergeant-at-arms is expected to execute the warrants pre sented to him. The sergeant-at-armS retired to carry out his instructions. Mr. Bland asked unanimous consent that members under arrest, be excused without being brought before the bar of the House. Mr. Reed I shah have to object. Our members were paraded here in front, and we want to see yours. v . ' The sergeant-at-arms, not being ready to report, Mr. Bland moved to go into Committee Of the Whole on his bill to coin the seigniorage, and on that mo tion demanded the previous question. Without a division on ordering the prer vious question on his motion Mr. Bland called for the yeas and nays and they were ordered. The vote resulted yeas, 159; nays, 11 nine less than a quorum. Five Republi cans and eisrht Populists voted with the bulk of the Democrats in favor of the motion. At the announcement of the result Mr. Bland moved a call of the House, which was ordered. It showed 271 members in the hall. The proceedings, 'under the call were dispensed with and another vote begun. The second vote resulted yeas, 157; nays, 10. This was a loss of three from the first vote and twelve short of a quorum. It was stated at the desk, informally, that at the time the first roll call was made there were nine pro-silver Repre sentatives in the House or the corridors who failed to vote The addition of that number to the vote would have produced a quorum. ' Mr. Bland made the usual motion to order a call of the House, whereupon Mr. Reed interjected: "It seems to me that the House might better occupy this time in discussing the bill than in wast ing it, as the gentleman from Missouri persists in doing." - Mr. McMilhn And when will the gentleman from Maine agree to vote? Mr. Reed When we get through. Mr.J McMillinAnd when will that be? Mr. Reed Why, when we havd finished, of course. The idea that these gentlemen must have the tail of the situation in their hands before we shall be allowed to debate the subject is all wrong. The custom is for this body to debate a thing until they get through with it cries of regular order. That is what we are trying to do, and it is a oV,om that we cannot be allowed to do it frenewed cries of order, by an ntpnt bodv tnat caimot - . qUAtthis point Speaker Crisp directed the reporters not to take note of the col loquy proceeding out of order. "Gentle ruin cannot," he said, "make statements out of order and hope to get them in the Record." , Mr t?wi rpmarked that the Speaker was entirely correct, and he hoped that the ruling would be enforced.

On Mr. Bland's motion to order a call of the House, Mr. Reed asked for tellers, and having secured them, Mr. Bland de- Stocks and lionds In New York The Grain and Provision Markets ' ' of Chicago.; Tew York, Feb. 21. The day at the Stock Exchange was the dullest for a long time past, the dealings in stocks footing up only 100,000 shares. The dullness was due, in part, to the holiday and in part to the fact that the Senate has not taken definite action on tariff matters. The tendency of prices was upwards until late hi the day, when Chi cago Gas, which had advanced 1 per cent, to 64, receded to 62. The general list was strengthened by the recovery in wheat, a little buying for London, and some covering by the local shorts. Many of the active stocks commanded a premium for , use, and in the case of Burlington and Quincy 1 per diem was paid. This rate more than offset the rumored defalcation by an employe of a big down-town trust company, which afterward turned out to be ,a very small affair, and the unf ayorable reports on the Union Pacific and Atchison. Little was heard of gold shipments, although the market for Sterling exchange !ruled strong to the close. The stocks most prominent m the improvement were General . Electric, Sugar, Louisville, the Grangers, West ern Union, and Union Pacific. The rise was equal to J to li per cent., but a part of this was lost near the close. In the final dealings the market was firm. The net changes for the day Bhow gains of 4 to 1 per cent. Wisconsin Central rose 3 per cent, to 7$. Railway and miscella neous bonds were strong. Sales com prised 74,000 shares of listed stocks and 26,000 unlisted. ' Chicago, Feb. 21. There was an ab sence of the vim and dash which char acterized the last half hour of trading in wheat yesterday in that market to-day. Nevertheless, there was plenty of strength, with continued anxiety in the ranks of the bears. The European mar kets did not fully respond to the bulge and that placed a stumbling block in the path of the bulls. May wheat opened at 59c, sold between 59f and 60c, closing a shade under yesterday at 60 to 60c. Corn followed the action of wheat all day. The feeling, therefore, was steady to firm. The .opening was firm at yes terday's close, eased off 4c, rallied 4 to fc, ; and at the close was a shadeN over yesterday. Outside markets were all 6teady. Cash corn was firm at 4 to 4c. data were very dull, the range being withih-io limit and the close unchanged from yesterday v The firmness was from sympathy-with wheat and corn, x Provisiohs.,were firm on higher prices for live hogs stud in speculative sympathy with wheat. Th.e volume of trade was light, and a scarcity of offerings con tributed to the strength. May pork closed 7c higher; May lard and .May ribs unchanged.

Dnn & Co. by Forgeries andJOther (Criminal Means.' New York, Feb. 21. Erastus Wiman, formerly manager for R. G. Dun & Co's. mercantile agency, builder of the Staten Island Rapid Transit road and a promi nent advocate of the annexation of Canada to the United States, was ar rested to-day charged with , forgeries amounting to $229,000. He was ar raigned before Judge Martine, in Cham bers in the general sessions and com mitted to the tombs in default of 125,000 baiL The arrest was made by detectives in the afternoon at the office of Mr. Wi man's son-in-law, on a bench warrant issued by Judge Martine, Boon after the grand jury had handed down two indict ments charging Wiman with forgery in the second degree. Mr. Wiman expressed some surprise at his arrest and then asked if there would be any opportunity to get bail. He said he ought to have a lawyer and he would like to be represented by counsel. An effort was made by friends to get bail late in the afternoon but without suc cess.". Neither did Mr. Wiman have counsel when he was taken to the Gen eral Sessions by the detectives. As soon as it was known that Mr. Wiman had been arrested Assistant District Attorney Lindsey made known the complaint on which the indictments were founded. There was no-signature to the complaint but its authorship is credited to ex-ins-trict Attorney Delancey Nicoll. Summarized, the complaint says that Winman was not a partner in the firm of R. G. Dun & Co. , but that he was 1 upon a salary and commission and that by yarious acta of embezzlement, through misrepresentations, conceal ments, breaches of agreement, misuse of the powers confided to him, and gross usurpation of powers with which he was not trusted, he succeeded during the years 1888, 1890, 1891, 1892 and up to February, 1893, in stealing from Mr. Dun the enormous sum of $229,018. That sum he owes Mr. Dun to-day. The complaint says that Wiman has committed so many crimes that the se lection for prosecution is very difficult. Two, however, are specihed. wiman obtained from the cashier of R. G. Dun & Co. a check for $10,000 to pay a bill of E. W. Bullinger, of New York, forged Bulhnger's endorsement of the check and deposited the amount to his own credit in the bank. Dun & Co. afterwards paid Bullinger's claim. The other transaction is that Wiman procured from Dun & Co's cashier a check for $5,580 to pay the Campbell Printing 'Press company. It was drawn to the order of Ogden Brower, treasurer of that company. wiman told the printing press men that Dun & Co.. was short ot funds anoxasKea tnem to accept two notes for the amount, This was aerreed to. Wiman made the notes in his own name, foreed Brower s en dorsement on the check, and appropriated the proceeds to his own use. . He May Come to This State Duck Hunting Nominations and Con- ' firmations To Investigate the" Wreck of the Kearsarge Postage Stamps to Be Printed by the Bu reau of Printing. - Washington, Feb. 21. The Senate has confirmed the nominations of the follow ing postmasters: Alexander H. Galloway, at Reidsville, N. C and James R. David son at Newberry, S. C. The President to-day sent to the Senate the following nominations: Granville Stewart, . of Montana, to Je Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipoten tiary to Paraguay and Uruguay; John M. Savage, of New Jersey, to be Consul at Dundee, Scotland; Harrison Purcell, to be register of the land office, and Larry W. Hunter, to be receiver of pub lic moneys, at fontgomery, Ala. recreation for a few days, but he has not yet determined where he will go, except that his time' will be spent on the water. The dispatch boat Dolphin, sometimes called "the President's yacht," arrived at the Washington navy yard last night, and" it is believed that Mr. Cleveland will utilize the vessel for the trip. He will probably go Friday afternoon after the Cabinent meeting, or on Saturday morn ing. The ducking season is nearing an end, and it is understood that Mr. Cleve land wants to get a bit of his favorite sport. Reports from North Carolina that the President will go to that State, cannot be confirmed. Secretary Gresham to-day received a cable message from Minister Thompson, dated Rio, stating briefly that the insur gent warships Aquidaban and Republica had passed out of the harbor this morn ing under fire of the Government forts. The conjecture is that they went after the cruiser Nictheroy, which a few days ago turned up in Rio harbor and then sailed southward. Secretary Herbert has received official information that no yellow fever now exists on board the United States vessels at Rio and Montevideo. A dispatch received to-day from Ad miral Benham says that all on board the ships at Rio are well.

Secretary Herbert to-day appointed a court of inquiry to investigate the grounding of the United States steam ship Kearsarge on Roncador reef Febru ary 2nd. The court consists of Rear Ad miral Bancroft Gherardi, Captu Jos. M. Miller and Capt. Thomas E. Kain, with Lieutenant Commander J. D. JT. Kelley as judge advocate and it willraee at the Brooklyn navy yard on Monday at noon. The officers and crew of the Kearsarge who arrived in New York from Colon to-day will remain at the navy yard until further orders. The Postmaster General to-day settled the long controversy over the awarding of the contract for printing the postage stamps for the next four years by reject ing all the bids and ordering that the work be done by the bureau of printing and engraving. The principal bidders were the American Bank Note company, of New York, which now has the con; tract, and Mr. Steele, of Philadelphia. The bureau of engraving and printing submitted an estimate which was mate rially lower than either of the two bids. The American Bank Note company will print the stamps until July 1st, when the bureau will be prepared to ao me worit.
