The Herald's Wash ington correspondent nlograpjia that paper Unit : 1 can positively ntnto without ( cur of do- nlnl that orders have KOMO from the Navy de partment to the builders of the Monterey to work night ami day on that vessel nnd to got her ready for scrvlco at the earliest possible moment. This will , It Is hoped , bo before February Ifi. Two twelve-Inch guns , which , by thn way , will bo the largest rifled cannon upon any vessel In the navy , will be sent to her without ttio usual number of , proof round * being Hrcd. The guns are now at the Indian Head piovmp grounds , and orders have Just been issued to prepare them for shipment to Kan Francisco. The Bethlehem Iron works and the Cnrnn- gio & Phlpps cotnpjhy have bi'cn urged to hurry up the armor nlutcs for the Monterey nnd liavo replied to too great rellof of the de partment that they il-o ready to begin shipping - ping them. So anxltlis Is the department to llnlsb this work that ihe shipments will begin without delay. Torpcido Service. A largo quantity of ammunliion for rapid firing has just boon contracted for. Still another Important inovo Is the step Just taken to secure the early delivery of thirty Howcll torpedoes. The llrst torpedo of this inven tion was successfully tried a few weeks niso. it was linmetllutely accepted , it nil tlio con tractor was not only urged , but given the as sistance of ofllccrs of the department to hurry up the work on the remainder. By the extra impetus given the work the completion of the torpedoes will follow in few weeks. There are now about 80 per cent Mulshed. They will bo shipped at once to the San Francisco. Charleston , IJultlmorc , Yorktown - town , Philadelphia , Newark and Concord. The four Koacb versols not having torpedo tubes will not bu supplied. WItli the activity being displayed bv the contractors for the Whitohcad torpedo , at the solicitation of the Navy department , there is reason to anticipate the early deliv ery of 11)0 ) of these torpndoes , and It may bo Hulcl that the ofllcials derive n great deal of comfort from the prospects , for the lack of torpedoes is probably ono of our weakest points at the present time. The activity the past few days of the torpedo board , which has to do with vessels of this class ofur material , is the most substantial of the steps being taken by the department to hasten work in every branch. Present Atlltiylo ol' the Government. WA IIINOTON' , loc. 29. There is no news obtainable nttho State and Navy departments today respecting Chilian matters. No move ments of ships-are reported and the onicials KIV thcro is no chaugo In the situation. TUo aftorncon was absolutely without an incident that could bo distorted' into relation to warlike prtiparalion. Secretary Blnina did not return to the Department of State after the cabinet meeting , and Si'iior Montt , the Chilian minister , did not make his up- poaranco thcro. No cipher dispatcher came from Minister Egan , aidtho ) air of quietude In the department ationgly accentuated the present attitude of the government with ro- spcct to Chill as shown by the president's message to congress in this paragraph : This government Is now awaiting tlio results of an Investigation which Is being conducted by the criminal court of Valparaiso. It Is ex pected that the rusult will soon lie communl- cati'd to this 'lovornment , together with sumo adequate and satisfactory response to tlio note by whlcli the attention of Chill was railed to this Incident. If UIPMI lust oMiort t- tlons should bo disappointed , "or further nred- Icss di'liiy intervene , " 1 will by a HPU lul im'ssiine bring this inultor agitln In the iitti-iitlon of congress for such action as may lie necessary.

Making Kvery Allowance1. Justlmw long those legal formalities may bo protracted before they may bo regarded as causing "further needless delay" Is of course dotermlnablo only by President Harrison , but thuro is reason to believe that there has been brought to his attention the dilllcultios that Hurround President Moatt in tlio formation of n now cabinet , and Hint he Is also desirous of avoiding the appearance of endeavoring to interfere with the duo process of law In Chili , If there js any reasonable ground for the assumption that duo process is being followed. Those considerations have doubt less led him to adopt the cour.so of patient waiting to the utmost extreme consistent with n duo icgard to the dignity ot the United States , and so far as can be learned It is probnhlo that no departure will bn made from this attitude before the reassembling of eont'ross , unless u further communication from the Chilian government should give a different aspect to the situation. , If thn heads of the bureaus in tlio Navy department are to bo believed , no extraor dinary cffoits are making to put ttio naval vessels in condition for active hostilities. In the construction bureau ttio ofHccrs in charge say posllivclv that no orders have been forwarded to San Francisco to hurry up tlio work on I ho Monterey. As a matter of fact thcro are fewer ordcis passing through tbo buieau at present than at any date during the past three months , ttun's for tlio Monterey. In the ordnance bureau It was learned that tnn turret armor for the Monterey Is ready for shipment to'Sau FrancUco at any time. Her great guns are also ready , unit tlio Pennsylvania Kallroud company lias un dertaken to transport them across the conti nent. The tusk is one of magnitude , as tlio i'-Much ritlc , without its carriage , weighs fifty tons , and ttie carriage welih3 twenty- live tons. Specially constructed card nrn necessary 1'or the transportation of these great masses , and the strength of tbo innnv bridges between the Washington navy yard and the California navy yard were made greater to insure the safe delivery of the Kims those rifles nro not only Intrinsically valuable , but their loss at the present time would be a serious calamity , us many months would be consumed In the making of guns to replace them , § JSiitlsfnelorv progress Is being fhado In the production of armor and of torpedoes , hut it Is insisted by ordnance officer * that neither armor plates nor torpedoes have been or will ho accepted until Uiav have been thorouehly tested by the processes which have hereto fore been applied.

Telegrams have been received in tills city , announcing that on tlio 25th Instant , the House of Representative.- the .lupin Diet was dis solved by imperial order under Article vll of the constitution. The Houic of Veers Is prorogued and a new election for members of the lower house must bo held within live months. The government bases Its action upon a desire to test public opinion concern- inc tlio policy of the popular party in the House of Representatives which , since the meeting of the Diet last month , has indis criminately opposed nil government measures. Throe distinct specifications are made lu regard to the course the opposition has pur sued. First , that It has Insisted upon whole.- sale reductions in national cxpcndituics , which , if adopted , would DU fatal to administrative efllcacy ; second , that it .has pcrslatcJ In postponing debate upnn urgent government ellis , and especially measures for the relief of the sufferers by the recent earthquakes and floods and for the repair of the river embankments wholly or partlallv destroyed by the earthquake , which in their present condition threaten Irreparable disaster lo largo districts ; and , third , that it nas rejected without debate government bills for the na'tional defense , for railroad extension and for lightening local taxation. Those facts , the government states , betray - tray disregard for the national 'welfare nnd a spirit antagonistic to the proper duties de volving upon the Diet , nud dissolut'on ' be comes a public necessity. After Ihe dissolution of the bouse the gov ernment on its' own responsibility immodi- ntolv issued an ordinance for the relief of the sufferer : * by earthquake and floods , and for the repair of the rivnr embankments , appro priating over $4,000,000 In addition to the .5:1,000,000 : already granted.

The echoes of the struggle In the closing days of the Flfly-llrst congress to secure the passage of the Hastings public building bill are awakened by clippings , which have reached Washington , taken from the princi pal paper of that thriving city. Us strong demands for proper accommodations for Iho United Slates courts and postofllco , and lls vigorous Insistence upon active work by the Nebraska delegation towards this end , re call the persistent nnd determined efforts , as shown by the record , made in the past three congresses to meet the wlsho.of the people of Hastings in this respoct. If there has been a city In the west whoso claims have been moro persistently sod vlcorotisly urged than that which is the county seat of Adams county , thu journals of sonnto and house are transparent lies and the mlnuto books of committee rooms convicted per jurers. Senator Mnndorson In the Forty-ninth , Fiftieth and Flfly-llrstcongresscs Introduced and passed through Iho sonalo bills pro viding for a public building at Hustings. No member of Ihc house has over passed n bill for Ihls purpose of any kind or for any amount. That Is the history in a nut shell. Now for the datn. At the first session of the Forty-ninth congress Senator Mandersou in troduced senate hill No. 1,071 , to provide for the construction of a public building at Hastings , Neb. The bill was reported from the committee on public grounds nnd build ings , passed the senate with un amendment and wus reported to the house ( house report 4,009) ) . Mr. Laird , during the same congress , in troduced house bill No. l-il. : ) It died in the coimniltco In which it was referred. I fTirlH Tw > Years I ater. Two years later Senator Mnndorson tried it again. 'Iho title of the bill Ihls time was sonute No. li : . It was a good enough title , backed by Senator Mandersou's hard work , and his colleague , Senator Paddocit's assistance , to bo reported back from the committee lo pa'is the senate and to bo sent tc Iho house. Thcro it slept on the Hies of Iho committee. Mr. Laird \vas not In physical condition to attend to his public business at the time , but ho introduced a bill , No. ! l,421 , which was referred lo the committee , but was uever reached-In the house. Wo como now to the Fifty-first congress , when victory was within the grasp of Hast ings , and defeat came in spile of good gen eralship and most turomittiug labor oa the part of all concerned. Once moro Senator Manderson , who Is now accused by im plication of neglect of Hastings' lu- leresls , came lo the front WHh his measure , which Iwico bolore he defended iu commllteo nnd passed through the senate. Its number wus 221. Again-tho committee cave a favorable report and again the sonalo consented to its passage. Senator Paddock co-eperatcd most-wnrmly and most , ' heartily in urging prompt action lipo'n'tho bill in committee and in Iho senate. When the bill went over to the house ho began an aclive campaign to secure for itconsidera- tion. Sir. Ijtiwfl Was Not Idle. Meantime , Mr. Laws had not boon Idle. Ho had Introduced his bill , No. ViOO , "d was working with the committee to have it taken up. Senator Paddock had at least twenty urgent conversations with Represen tative Mlllikon , chairman of the house com- millee , and largely on personal grounds re ceived assurance of an early report. Ilo got it. It was made on March 12 , 1890 , by Mr. ICerr ( rnport 799) ) , but the only conultion ot a favorable report was a unanimous vote uy the committee that the appropriating clause should bo cut down from \OJOOl ! , ) to $75,000. , This was the arbitrary lipuro at which the house commltleo rated nil cities of loss limn 25,000 inhabitants. Right , hero a now complication aroso. The supervising architect of the treasury , Mr. Wlndrlu' , demanded a change in Iho form of all public bulldinrs. The senate committee , followed nflerwufds by Iho house , acceded. Consequently whsn the senate bill for Hast ings can.o over in proper form it was promptly amended to $7.1,000 and ordered SUD- alituted'for Mr. Laws' bill. The report is numbered 1,1X10. Then the Hastings bill , with a couple of others , look lls place oa Iho calendar aiid Iho slrugirlo for considornlion began. Meantime the second complication to which Hasting" , with allothcrpubllc buildings , was subjected , came to the front. Appropriations had been hea\y. Growls at the liberality of congress in mcolinc government obligations began to bo heard. There wore apprehen sions of a treasury deficit. The cry to put on Iho brakes came from nil Iho republican Iri- umvirate in Iho lieu so. Public building bills aggregating 10,010,000 had already boon in troduced. Nearly half of iliom were re ported and on the calendar. There was ter- rilio pressure for consideration of these meas ures from Interested members. Messrs. Reed , McIClnloy nnd Cannon advocated lulling all slei p to death. A hundred members of cor > - UTOJS swore that thev would ulock all legis lation unless their districts received their share of ihc pork in the barrel. They Were Finally Considered. It was finally agreed that n day should bo given for public building bills , but that the appropriating clause should be stricken from each lu order that no radical increase should bo made for appropriations for the llscal year ondlnp Juno Iblll. The committee on nubile buildings and grounds made up Its lUt of bills to be pushed to the front. The big cities were given the preference. Two Dills lor republicans to every ono tor a demo cratic district were pulled from the bundle and docketed for uctlon. The house went , inio coinmlltoo of the whole. Twenty odd bills were passed when Speaker Reed pulled the string. When the house , with the speaker In the chair , began lo con Alder Ihe bllU passed upon in commiUco of the whole , n hitler dubalo arose upon the Bar Harbor bill. While It was under discus sion tbo hour for adjournment came and all the publlo bills were left on the calendar. There had never hoforo boon such n situa tion. Mr. Rood and his committee on rules refused for months lo give an opportunity for i heir consideration. Senators Mandcrsoh and Paddock absolutely Desioged Iho speaker and Messrs McKinley nnd Cannon to afford an.opportunity to pass.lho Nebraska bills , Too Much I'icssiire. They replied that appropriations were already lee heavy , that the draft , through pension legislation , threatened to bankrupt the treasurv. Fiimllv , under pressure , an hour was given. The Hastings bill \vas on top of Chairman MUllkon's bundle \\lipn Mr. Reed motioned to the chairman of the com- mlttce on Iho whole. Ko stepped down from the elmir nnd Speaker Reed once moro assumed command. Senators Paddock and Manderson had been wailing on Ihe floor of the house for three hours expecting to see Iho Hastings bill put through. Chairman Millikcn hud promised It as n certainty. Their disappoint ment can readily bo imagined. There was ono other chance , nnd onlyyino. Both senators besought Mr. Reed to rccpg- nlzo Mr. Laws to call the bill up by unani mous consent. Ho steadily refused- the grounn'that U would open ttio doors to live dozen other representative * equally anxious to serve their constituents , On the last ulgbt of the congress Senator Paddock made allnal appeal to the speaker nt U o'clock on the morning of March-I. Ho was for the last time refused. After buch labor aud efforts both Nebraska Honatora feel that their work Is , to say the least , unappreciated when the prois.and prl- vnlo letters accuse them of ludlfferdnce'ln n maltcr upon which they b6towcdj conscien tious and porslsicnt energy.

U U extremely unllkcly.that tlho wnrllka ' westerners who are sending'oaaer'tondors of services In case of thb.outbreak of hostilities between Chill and the Unllnd States will have an opportunity to gratify thslr innrllal ardor. " The bellicose rumors which fill the papers are mostly based on th& strong Imag- Innllons of loc.il reporters. No ono In posl- tlonto ) know believes for a moment that there Is going lo bo any trouble. Gen oral Miles , who never goes imywberq without being preceded uy half n column newspaper eulogy full of mysterious suggestions , arrived In the city today and leaves , after attending the wedding of Miss Rachel -Sherman , tomor row.

IntorcNtcd In Prcservlnc Peace. The two countries most Interested In pre serving peace with Chill are England nnd Germany who , together , .transact nearly twelve times us much business with that coun try as does our own. It tuunderstood thut Chili tins boon Informed by representatives of those powers that n loan , for flchtlng Iho United Stales cannot bo noaollnled cither in London or Berlin. If this U the case It ends Uiu only hope of the peppery lltllo South American republic for securing the slnaws ot war. President Montt Is only lust iimucuratad. His cabinet is not yet formed. Ho is In no position to make formal responses to the de mands of the United Stales. That ho Is anxious so to do nnd will do. so at the proper time , Is generally boliovod. Thou our ships can once more cruise and ovolule and ofllcers give receptions and enjoy themselves gen erally anil iho country will pg given n peace ful rest from war and rumqrs'Of war. The Impression is current this evening that the president has decided to nominate Hon. G. M. Lambortson of Nebraska for the vacancy on the Interstate Commerce com mission caused by Judge Copley's death ; that Colonel Morrison ot Illinois will bo ro- nppolnled nnd Ihat Air. Clonftnls of Georgia will receive the seat formerly occupied by General Bragg. Impressions nro not always based on fact , but general opinion concurs in the very slrong protiabillly of Mrl Lambartson's se lection. His name was presented by the Nebraska senators , and their recommenda tions backed by a car load of endorsements from leading jurists , lawyers \ nd railroad olilcials. , The uijont at Santee nconcy has boon undergoing an investigation by the Indian department , with the probable result of his complete vindication from thflfng charges trumped up by disgruntled omnloyos. Mr. Helms promptly asked for the 'fullest ' Investi gation nnd was visited by Spoclal Agent Leonard , who probed matters to thn bottom. The Indians are almost unanimous for his retention , and there was gii'cti general craw- lishing among his accusers tlmt the bottom of the charges wus shaken loose. Rov.

General Stanley , In command of this department , has received instructions to use all troops of his command , If necessary , to suppress the adherents of Gnrza , who nro col lecting In Starr and Duval counties , on the border. Two troops of cavalry have already loft here , nnd twe moro will go Saturday , being delayed until then by the lack of trans portation facilities. Oi.irz'i's proposed inva sion and restoration of the constitution of I8T)7 now excites less ridicule than It did In September , when llrst promulgated. Ho has shown himself n capable leader , and while avoiding pursuit on both sides of the river ho has Increased the number of his forces to such an extent as to excite general alarm. Captain , T. G. Bourke Is authority for the statement that every Mexican on the Ameri can side is n supporter of Garni nnd the masses of northern Mexico nro similarly in clined. A private telegram from Monterey soys It is bolloved that Garza has u very strong secret following in that city which has made every preparation to join ihcir leader nt a moment's notice. Arms have hcou sold there recently in largo quantities and it Is believed they were purchased by Garza's ugonts. The fact that Garza continues to recruit followers from the American sldo increases the responsibility of the American govern ment in permuting violations of the neutral ity laws , nnd American ofllcinls concerned Immediately are much exorcised. There are but three posts on the border Fort Mcln- to.sh , near Laredo. Fort Rlnggold , 120 miles south , and Fort Brown , near Brownsville. They are but slightly garrisoned. While the federal troops on Iho Harder have boon reinforced by the Texas rangers the frontier is of such a bushy character that It is very inadequately protoctcd to prevent - vent tlio operations of Garza's men , wljo up to date have evinced remarkable celerity In avoiding capture when located. Adjutant General Martin , at tills post , has advices from Captain Pollock , In command of Fort Mclntosh , stating that troop .i\ left Fort Rlnpgold December 25 nnO troop G is on tlio rlvci ? twenty-five miles ahovc , and troop 1 is on tbo river bank a day's march from the post un route to El Paso. There nro said to bo il'JO revolution ists near Curri/o , and it Is feared Ihut troop I will encounter them with serious results. Second Lieutenant G. F. Langhorno of tlio Third cavalry , with thirty men , are scoutIng - Ing in Starr county , and are knoivn to bo near the revolutionists1 headquarters. Aux- iotv is felt for him , as he Is in danger of being attacked by a superior force. Preparations at this post are being made to fully carry out orders from Washington. A train of pack mules with six experienced scouts , has boon ordered to the turbulent territory from Fort D. A. Russell , Wyo. On Texas S II. It.was learned that Garzu .himself Is still otr TOKO'S soil. Autbotitto'information has boon received that Garza and his men are being protected and sheltered by Mexican ranchers seven miles north of Roma , Tex. Ignacio Hnmieroz is his recruiting olllcor and is enlisting men for Garza daily at a ranch near Casa Blanco. A great many names have boon secured anu warrants will bo issued Immediately for their nrrost. Garzu's band is also so badly scattcu'd nnd this side of the river Is so carefully guarded thai It will be Impossible for him lo cross any largo body into Mexico , as has boon bis intention. His men can now cross only In small numbers and rendezvous on the other sldo. No now troops have ni1- ilved at Rio Grande City. Licutcnu it Langhorno's troops have loft there , and ho 1 known to bo scouting for Gir/a's headquarters. Ho may lind them before ho wants them , No' news has boon received today from Captain Hurdle-who is in the vlcmltx'of Carrizp , nor has anything boon learned from the Mexican side. ' Will-rant ftjsucd for Gnrz i. At Rio Grando"City warrants have been ordered Issued against Garza's ' men for the killing of Corporal Edstrorn on the L'Jd , and several suspicious oharactors have boon put in Jail. The fact that Garza's mon attacked the toderal troops will hinder the revolution ists on this side , as every mile of river will soon bo protected. Nothiuc has been heard from the baud of revolutionists that crossed. Sn great is the excitement becoming In Mexico It H now almost impossible for Ameri cans to godown the river from the upper towns to Brownsville by way of the routeon Ibo Mexican side. As mattcas look now , very exciting development ) , may bo expected In a short lime , as Uniled Stales troops are likely to como in contact with revolutionists at any moment.
