Delegate Henderson oQercd tlio following
resolution:
KcHnlved. That thi conrre "welcome the
United Hutf s of IJrazil Into the sisterhood of
American i epuMic. v
Delegate Hortado, of Colombia, said that
this might be construed as a recognition of
tho new government ami it was not proper
for the delegate to do this in the absence
of instructions from their own government,
and especially as there was no official no
tice of the change. Therefore, he moved
that tho resolution bo tabled. Delegates
Castillanos. of Salvador, and Kin. of Uru
guay, supported Senor liortado's motion.
Delegates Koinero, of Mexico, and Car
negie, of the United States, seconded the
motion to table, as it was apparent that
the resolution could not be adopted unani
mously. Delegate Henderson paid that he had
offered the resolution without consultation
-with his, colleagues, thinking that tho
Brazilian representatives had authority to
come to this conference.
Seuor Valente., of Brazil And thoy have.
Applause, j
Delegate Henderson Then that com
pletes the circle of American republics.
Continuing, he said that he was sorry to
place any of the representatives of other
iovernntents in an awkward position, but
k far as he was concerned he should hail
with equal pleasure theannouncement that
Spain or England, or any other uonarcby,
had adopted republican institutions. To
him all places were proper and all times
convenient tor the enunciation of his de
sire to see all countries made republics,
lie was sorry that any of his friends felt
that their position was such that they could
not give the resolution unanimous ap
proval. If he understood tho Brazilian
teonle. thev wished unanimously for re
publican form of government, and. having
created a republic, tne conterence snouiu
welcome them. He caced not where the
republican standard was raised. If this
freat cnange nau neen accoinpusneu in
irazil without bloodshed, and her
representatives were here, why wait
the announcement that the ' re
public had been formally recognized
bv the other eovernmentsi I he delegates
here were not as ministers to the United
States. Why should they delay giving en
couragement to this great revolution which
ended forever all idea of monarchical gov
ernment on American soilf
The Chilian delegate agreed with Mr.
Henderson's idea generally, but felt con-
strained to postpone the matter out of re
gard for the oilicial character of pome of
the delegates.
At the suggestion of a delegate Mr.
Komero read the credentials of the Brazil
ians, showing their appointment by Empet-
or Uvm re-dro and also a cablegram dated
at Kio de Janeiro, to-day and addressed to
Minister Valente, reading as follows:
The provisional government confirms the pow
ers given to your Excellency and fccnors Lafay
ette ana Menuona,
Bacatuva, Secretary of State,
Provisional Government Brazil.
Minister Valente added that Secretary
Blaine had seen the cablegram. A vote
was taken upon the motion to table Gen.
Henderson's resolution and it prevailed
nly two names Venezuela and Uruguay
voting in the negative. Tho credentiafs
were then referred to the proper committee
and the consideration of the rules was re
sumed.
The remainder of the session was spent
in discussing the report of the committee
on rules.
In accordance with the wishes of the
Brazilian provisional . government, as con
veyed in the telegram read at the pan
American conference to-day. Dr. Valente
will continue to act as minister to the
United States and delegate to the congress.
and Senor Mendonca as envoy to the
United States on a spesial mission
and as delegate to the congress.
Senor taiayetto declined to ac
cept ' the telegraphic renewal of
his powers as special envoy and. delegate.
and will not. for the present, at least, con
tinue in the discharge of those duties. It
as natmally assumed that his action was
due to disapproval of the recent course of
events in Brazil, but it is said to-night
that this is an error, and his
reason is a disinclination to ac-
cept tne teiegrapnic renewal or nis cre
dentials, he preferring to await their ar
rival in due form by mail. Senor Lafay-
ette.was the leader of the Liberal party in
Brazil and, as Premier, was identified with
many of the important reforms which took
place in that country under the Liberal ad
ministration.
At the Brazilian legation entire satisfac
tion is felt at the disposition made in the
conference to-day of the resolution pro-
fosed by ex-Senator Henderson. The
Brazilians appreciate the spirit of amity
and friendship which prompted tho resolu
tion, but at the same time feel that it was
so phrased as not to be a proper subject for
action by tho conference. They, would
themselves take the same course- if a simi
lar case should arise to-morrow. .
IUtEAKlXG AWAY FROM BEED.i
The Maine Man Lofting Some of Ills Support
for the House Speakership,
facial to the Indianapolis J iurnal
Washington, Nov. 21. Mr. Heed has
Kone to New York. He will be absent
three or four days. ' no went to mond the
break in bis Eastern lines. Not only has
a New England member dropped out of the
Reed ranks,but it is asserted on good author
ity that efforts to apply themnit rule in the
New York and Pennsylvania delegations
liavo positively failed, and at least a half
dozen members from each State stand out
against the Maine candidate, and refuse to
be whipped in. Heed stock thus declines,
and that of all the Western can
didates is up to-night. "Western
and Southern members are using with
lolling efiect the record of Mr. Reed on
river and harbor bills, and the fact that he
is opposed to siver coinage and dodged on
the question of free -wool when a vote was
recently taken uion it. A card is being
passed around among Southern and Western
members showing Mr. Reed's record on
river and harbor bills. During the last
twelve sessions of Congress, when twelve
river and harbor bills were before the
House, Mr. Reed voted for two of them
only. It looks to-night as though a West
ern man would be Speaker of the Fifty
first Congress.
FEDERAL LAWS DEFIED.
Deplorable State of Affairs Existing in the
Northern District of Texas.
Washington; Nov. 21. Attorney-general
Miller has received a long report from 'Mr.
Eugene Marshall, United States attorney
for the Northern district of Texas, in re
gard to the difliculty of administering the
federal laws in that community, in conse
quence of a feeling of hostility on the rart
of certain State otlicials toward the federal
officers. According to the district attor
ney, the trouble arose from the steps taken
by federal officers fcr the protection of the
fonr Marlowe brothers, who were held as
government witnesses in several pending
euits. A portion of the community becamo
exasperated at these men, he says, and
attempted to wreak summary ven
geance upon them. They were con
fined m the jail at Graham, and, as
that building was not regarded as secure,
it was thought best to take them to a safer
place. Guards were provided and they,
started away from Grab am. but had not
proceeded far when they.were attacked by
a mob and a fierce light ensued. Two of
the Marlowes were killed at the first on
slaught. The other two wrested weapons
from their assailants, with which they am
putated the feet of their dead brothers, to
whom they were manacled, and then lied
to a neighboring farm-house, where they
held the mob at bay nntil assistance ar
rived. Three of tho mob were killed and a
number were wounded. Among thoso who
have since been indicted for complicity in
this attack on government prisoners, the
district attorney says, are two constables,
the sheriir. a deputy sheriff, the county at
torney and a won of tho countv jndgo.
In closing his report, the district attor
ney says: "The laws of the United States
contemplate that the State will provide a
suitable jail for the tne of the courts of the
United States. The State, acting through
its agency, the municipal government of
Young county, has failed to do this, but, on
tho contrary, its ofiieers are in violent an
tagonism to tho United States Court. They
aid in escapes, and are charged with as
cfiiultiug and murdering United States pris
oners. It neeius to me that our duty is
plain. If Young county will not provide a
jail of atone and mortar, iron and hteel, wo
must furnish one of llesh and blood, nerve
end sinew. It the processes of the courts
of the State are prostituted to shield from
prosecution thoso who ueiy me laws
of the United States, who, with
deadly weapons, prowl in the night-time,
on tho highway, and murder and maim
its manacled prisoners our respect for such
process ceases. We must consider aione tne
dignity of the court and the supremacy of
the laws of tho United States. 1 do not see,
therefore, how we can well avoid the neces
sity of armed men at Urahani during tne
sessions of the United States courts, to as
sist in tho transaction of its business and
preserve the peace. The atmosphere of
shotguns and six-shooters is not a proper
one lor any court to be held in in a civil-
ized country, much less one or ineaignuy
of the court of the United States. Jt is to
be hoped, therefore, that Congress will do
something for the relief of this district by
removing the branch of the federal court at
Graham to some more accessible point,
which will bo more convenient for the pub
lic in these days of railways and where the
public business will not beemnarrasgenanu
obstructed by a lawless clement."
CONDITION OF THE NAVY.
Number of War Vessels Uncle Sam Can Com
mand in Case of War.
Washington, Nov. 21. Theodoro Wil
son, chief of the Bureau of Construction
and Repair, has submitted to Secretary
Tracy a voluminous report of the opera
tions conducted under the supervision of
the bureau during the year ended June 30,
1SS0, and the estimates for the coming tiscal
year, ending June oO, 1890. The commodore
presents a lengthy argument in favor of in
creasing tho efficiency of navy-yards, as
indicated in the estimates, saying this
great Nation should not close any navy-
yard. The report says that after eight or
nine years there will be no wooden vessels
remaining in active service. A deficiency
appropriation will be necessary m order
that the work of construction and repair
may be carried on during the remainder of
the present fiscal year without interrup
tion. Tho siuglo-turreted monitors are
said to bo now in a worse than useless
state, and the report recommends that
something be done, with them. To put
them in condition for efficient service in
harbor and coast defense will cost, it H es
timated. $403,000. There are thirteen of
these monitors. $
In conclusion. Commodore Wilson gives
tho following statement of the condition of
the navy: The United States has at pres
ent four steel cruisers aud a steel dispatch
vessel in commission. Tho Baltimore,
Vesuvius. Petrel and Charleston have had
their trial trips and may be expected soon
to take their places in the cruising lieet.
There are twenty-one wooden steamers and
seven iron steamers still useful and service
able. With the completion of the vessels
now building and appropriation for them
the United States will possess ten armored
vessels, thirteen single turreted monitors,
twenty-one steel cruisers or gun-boats, the
dynamite crniser. a practice cruiser for
cadets, an armored ram, one first-class tor
pedo boat aud seven iron steamers.

MINOR MATTERS.
Value and Quantity of Sugar, Coffee and Hemp
Halted In Mexico.
Washington, Nov. 21. Thomas Ryan,
United States minister to Mexico, in are
port to the Department of State on Mexi
can products and exports, says; 'The pro
ductions of sugar, corn and wheat are re
markably small. The average valuo of the
sugar product is about 52 cents per pound.
The average value of sugar exported is only
2j cents per pound, aggregating $107,270.
The average value of the coiiee product is
22 cents per ponnd, about one-half of which
is exported, at a value of 1G.0 cents per
pound. The valuo of the hennequen (hemp)
export is mores than twice the combined
value of the entire export of sugar, cotiee,
com wheat and textile fibre. The native
sugar product coining into the City of Mex
ico has steadily decreased from 8,r$4,5.8 kil
oarams in 1S4 to 4.081,207 kilograms in 18S.
There has been a steady increase in beef
consumption in tho capital, from 59,751
beeves slaughtered in 1878 to 83,228 slaugh
tered 18SS, and an increase of mntton con
sumption from 02.031 sheep in 1878 to 130,203
inlbtti.
Dudley & Tanner, Tenftlon Attorneys.
Epecial to the Indianapolis Journal.
Washington, Nov. 21. Some surprise
was expressed in political circles this even
ing when the announcement appeared in
the Capital that Col. W. W. Dudley and
Corporal Tanner, both ex-Commissioners of
Pensions, have formed a copartnership in
tho claims and pension business, and will
open an oilice in Washington this week. It
was believed by many that Corporal Tan
ner was to receive another appointment,
but he says ho abandoned that idea some
weeks ago, and that the paitnersaip with
Colonel Dudley has been contemplated for
some time. Roth are well and favorably
known here, and will do a large business.
. It is authoritatively stated that General
Alger did not, as erroneously reported at
the time, advise Mr. Tanner not to resign
his oilice as Commissioner of Pensions, and
that he. General Alger, would look out for
his busiuess future. General Alger, how
ever, ba3 informed Mr. Tanner that he is
ready and willing to render. hira whatever
financial aid he mav require in establishing
himself in his new business.
Possible Democratic Programme in Montana.
Special to the InUauaioli Journal.
Washington. Nov. 21. Congreman
Carter, in a lengthy interview in to-day's
Post on the senatorial outlook in Montana,
says: "I am satisfied that the State Audi
tor, whose duty it is nnder tho law to call
the roll in the State House of Representa
tives prior to organization, will recognize
as members those persons declared by the
State returning board to have been elected;
hence the Republicans will have a majority
of about six in the .House on the first roil-
calL The Senate will be a tie. and. inas
much as the Constitution provides that a
quorum shall consist of a majority of mem
bers, it is possible that the Democrats may
prevent organization of the Senate by ab
senting themselves. In that case the dead
lock may continue until the Legislature ex
pires bv limitation at the end of ninety
days, when the Governor can appoint ad
interim Senators.
Cannot Import Skilled Laborers.
Washington. Nov. 21. Mr. Edward Cord,
president of the Pittsburg Plate-glass Com
pany, recently wrote to the Treasury De
partment to the effect that Hf ty skilled
laborers were required to keep their plant
in operation, and that as this was a new in
dustry in the country it was necessary to
obtain the laborers from abroad. He de
sired to be informed, before taking action,
in the matter if the importation of the re
quired laborers would be permitted. Act
ing Secretary Ratchellor to-day informed
him bat he did not see how it could be
doue inasmuch the alien contract labor law
is absolute on the subject, and must be en
forced, adding that as plate-glass has been
manufactured in this country for over
twenty years it could hardly be regarded
as a new industry.

SULL1VAX OFFERS TO FIGHT.
lie Will Meet Jackson for a Purse of
OOO Other OflTerH.
Boston, Nov. 21. John L. Sullivan was
seen to-day in relation to tho $10,000 o fie red
by the California Athletic Club. He said:
-The California Athletic Club know vhat
I ollcred them when I wasv asked to go out
there, and that is just what I will do. I will
meet tho colored tighter at their clun-rooms
if a purse of $-0,000 is hung up, and that's
my tinal answer. I am willing to meet any
man they nut against ne: but they must
carry out the deal about Jackson now or it
will cost them more money when they come
to talk it over again."
'Then you refuse to go to tho Pacific slope
unless the. purse is $20,000?"
"Yes. that is the prite for me against a
colored fighter. I will meet auy white
man for a l(PP0 purse, but for the 'other I
want the fnlliimount.
What about Slaviu meeting you?"
"It is all the same to me which of them
is set up against me. I have no choice. All
1 am looking at is the amount given. I
once said I would never tight a colored
man. but they seem to think Jackson is a
world-beater, and I am anxious to show
them juswhere he belongs."
Late tonight4Sullivan said: "I will fight
Jackso for a $15,000 purse, winner to take
all. and I will guarantee to bring five men
with me that will out-bet the friends of
Jackson. That will be the lowest amount
I will fight for. I intend to purchase a
farm within ten miles of Boston, and, with
my whole attention, raising horses, I don't
care whether 1 fight again or not. I have
Elenty of money, although they say I am
roko."

Fiftj-Fonr Hounds of a Irize-F!ght at Ham
mond A Former Clerk's Prowess.
Hammond, Nov. 21. One of tho greatest
light-weight prize-fights that have ever oc
curred in the West took place this morning,
at this place. The participants were Tom
my Morgan and Tom White. The first has
a record in the ring, while the latter never
appeared in public before. White, until be
began to train for to-day's fight, was em
ployed as blackboard man in the stock
brokerage oilice of ex-Congressman Dun
ham. He is very slight in build, and very
few outside of tho "snorts" around the
-
Board of Trade knew or suspected that he
was "handy with his fists."
WThite fought at 118 pounds, and Morgan
at 128. The tight began, and a prettier or
more scientific battle has never been wit
nessed in America. WThite outfought his
man from the start, and proved himself a
second Jack Dempsey. Ho was badly ad
vised, however, and should have won in
twenty rounds, but owing to his waiting
tacucs tne nght was prolonged to over
three hours. Morgan being terribly pun
ished. During the progress of the forty
ninth round an alarm of police was sounded,
and a general stampede occurred. This
was repeated in the fiftieth rouud, and the
belief was general that the Morgan party
were trying to save their money bv break
ing up the fight f
While the fifty-fourth round was in prog
ress a posse of officers from Kensington ap
peared upon the scene and arrested both
the principals, thus patting an end to the
battle. Morgan was terribly punished
about tho faro and .ueck. White only re

THE CLAY COUNT r STRIKE.
Importing Colored Miners Awaiting the Re
sult of To-Day's Mass-Meeting.
Bpeclal to the Indianapolis JournL
Brazil, Ind., Nov. 21. The block-coal
operators have taken decided action in re
gard to importing colored miners to sup
plant the strikers. Some of tho miuers
arrived last night Others are to come as
orders for coal come in. Just how many
colored miners have been en traced is uncer
tain, but perhaps enough to take the place
of all strikersyet ont four or livehuudred.
If the strikers, to-morrow, in their mass-
meeting, decide to return to work at tho
reduction, it will, no doubt limit the im
portation very materially. The operators
are now independent of the strikers in the
matter of miners. Heretofore they have
mado no efi'ort at importation, hoping that
the strikers would return to work; but now
orders are coming in a little better, aud
they desire to hold trade and secure more.
hat the result of the mass-meeting to
morrow will be cannot be foretold, but tho
strike is likely to bo formally declared ott
hatover the action of tho executive com
mittee may be, the number of miners re-
