Vnvy to employ nny United States vessel
hcst adapted to such service for the purp ese
if transporting contributions to the .in
habitants of Uussia suffering for want of
lood , and if necessary to charter vessels for
that purpose. Ho asked for its Immediate
, consideration , The president's message on
the snino subject ( just received ) , was laid bo-
fora tha sonata.
The joint resolution was amended by limit
ing the appropriation to $100,000 , nnd was
then passed JO to 9.
The negative votes wore given by Messrs.

The commission of B. W. Perkins ns sena
tor to succeed the late Senator Plumb was
presented and Mr. L'orklus took the oath of
office.
Various additional bills were introduced
and referred.
Mr. Vunco was sworn in as senator for his
now term.
Tuo resolution offered by Mr. Vest on the
10th of December , retiuostlng the president
of the United States to cause to malto public
the corrcspondonco nnd negotiations to bo
) had throuirh the Department of State , or
s pthcrwiso , with the authorities of Great
Britain for the purpose of securing the nbro-
3tion or modification of the regulations
i M.itt rerjulro cattle imported from the
United States to bo slaughtered at thu port
of entry and prohibit their being curried
ullvo to other parts of the kingdom , was road
by Mr. Vest , explained and advocated.
Air. lliilo on Kngllsh l-'rcu Trade.
Mr. Halo treated the regulations In ques
tion ns a marked instance of Great Britain's
inconsistency in the matter of free trade.
"Groat ; Britain , " ho said , "was constantly
preaching horaillos on free trade , was ob -
jcctlng in every possible way to pro
tection as embodied In the statutes of the
United States , and was calling down on
tha heads of tlio American people the censure
nnd tbo vcngonirjo of tba civilized world be
cause or the barbarism , the extreme barbar
ism nnd uneullghtonincnt of their protective
policy , and yet , under the forms of qunran
tine regulations , it was actually prohibiting
the excoriation from tuo United States to
Great Britain of live animals and establish-
inn a completd prohibitory tariff. No Ameri
can cattle or sheep could bo introduced into
Great Britain to compote with the farmers
nnd cattle raisois of that country , nny more
thnn If , In terms , n tariff duty of 100 percent
hnd boon laid on them. This was because
the British authorities ( committed , as they
xclaimed to be , to frco trade with all the
j.r , rld ) were nwaro of the disastrous of-
cct of such Importation on the British
'farmers and cattle and Mieop raisers. It iv.ns
_ nn Instance of the inconsistency of the Brlt-
Ish ci'y of fioo trade.
Who British government did not , ns the
iorlean govern men f did , impose protective
tics , but it proceeded under another form
to enact nn outright prohibitory tariff. Ha
did not want Uio resolution to bo adopted
without calling attention to that ineonsist-
ency , but ho did not oppose the resolution.
Prompted by Mrrceimry Motives ,
Mr. Vest deprecated the Introduction of a
tariff discussion on the resolution and should
certainly not put himself In the nttltudu of
defending oitnor the motives or thu action of
the aulborlt&is of Grout Britain. It was ,
however , Improper to state , as n historical
fact , thnt that action bad been based ostonsl-
bly on the fact that there had been sporadic
cases of pleuro-pneumoniii found In exported
American cattlo. That the number of these
cnttlo had been very largely exaggerated
from mercenary motives In different quarters
In' England , had been ( ho thought ) made
fully apparent by the report of the sonata
select committee on meat products , to which
report ho referred the senators. What ho
doslrod was to remove the obstacle without
in Italian , without friction , because ho con-
eidcrcd it the first object of statesmanship to
Vrlng about results that would Insure to the
iienofit of American pooplo. Hero was the
Ifnct thntthoso quarantine regulations existed
nnu It was only proper to say that the British
nulhoititle had fttuted that they desired to
sco what would bo the operation of
the act of March 1 , 18'JO ' , ( for the inspec-
lion of cattle sent abroad ) before they
toohulollnlto action lu regard to their quur-
mitlno resolutions. If , after the state department -
partmont hnd called the attention of the
British government to the subject and had
calmly presented all the faots showing that
no diseased cattle were exported from the
United States , the Urltlsh authorities ro-
fujod to treat Amoalcan cnttlo justly , ho ( Mr ,
Vest ) would not bo found lagging when the
senator from Maine ( Mr. Halo ) proposed thu
most extreme measures in order to romero
tin * outrage.
Mr , Halo expressed the desire that the
senator from Missouri might bo successful
In what ho proposed , but ho warned him that
In his path lay not only the quarantine
officers of Great Britlan and the boards ot
health , but thu British farmers nnd British
raisers of cattle nnd sheep , and that his
efforts would bo futile , because ho would
come fuco to faoo with what was the actual
ti'oublo In the case and not the oJtcnstblo
trouble.
The resolution was adopted.
. Additional bills were Introduced and rc-
Starred ns follows : For the sottloinunt of the
l fBloux Ulty & PaoiHo Knllrond company's
debts to the government. For the local
government of Utah territory. Prohibiting
frco passca on railroads , except In certain
canes ,

Chill Prepared to Apologize.
The appornnco ot Minister Pedro Montt
upon the Iloor of the house of representa
tives at noon today gave unmistakable evidence -
donce that Cnill had como oft her high horse
and was disposed to assume n more courte
ous nnd apologetic attitudo. The minister's
appearance came soon after unofficial nd-
vices had boon received that the Chilian
authorities had called Minister Montt to
make ample apology for the outrage on the
crow of the United States ship Baltimore
and it , appeared to confirm these unofficial
advices whether ho wus acting on orders or
not. Scnor Montt was in the most courteous
and conciliatory mood. Ho was piloted
about nnd introduced by Governor MeCreory
of Kentucky who Is a member of the house
commlttoo on foreign relations , nnd the only
member of the house Invited to the recent
dinner given by the Chilian minister.
Ho made a most favorable impression by
his easy manners and his constant emphatic
assurances thut a peaceful settlement , of the
Chilian trouble would certainly ensue. With
all the vehemence of a Spaniard ho shook his
bend at the possibilities of war and shrugged
his shoulders over the likeness of some of the
points of'contontlon and brought bis hands
together to emphasize his belief that Ublli
would do everything thnt was fair nnd
honorable.

passed a resolution directing him to report as
required by law , and to turn over all lines

The city council ulso instructed the chief
of pollco to turu over all moneys collected by
him to the city treasurer without passing

custom of the chief of pollco to
collect the tiaucly house fines nnd to turn

proprietors of such resorts In the city have
recently received a letter fro.n the pollco

directly to him nnd informing them and the

KAMA BACKED BY CLERICALS
No Longer Any Doubt ns to Who is Bebiiul

DEADLY HATRED OF DIAZ BY BISHOPS.
Tln-y rurnUh tlio Money to Carry on the
righting Which They Hope \VIII
Jtcsult In Oierthro Ing
tininternment. .
TJUIEDO , Tox. , Jan. 5. Startling develop
ments In regard to the Garzn revolution have
boon made public. Tlio ho.xd nntl front of
the whole muttur Is coming to light , Tlio
paper louiul In the saddlebags of Pablo
Munez , OHO of tlio captured revolutionists ,
throws a grout deal of Unlit on the Munition.
It proves conclusively that what was fore
shadowed four days ago Is true , nnd that Is
that the clerical party Is furnishing the
money with which the campaign is being
conducted.
In all the for.tys tnado by Q.irza ho has not
stolen or plmmorod tlio smallest article. On
the other bund ho has paid rash at high
prices for what ho has noodcd. Where all
this money was coming from has boon miz
zling the American and Mexican authorities.
It Is now ascertained that Monotcz do
Actczn , n citizen of Monterey , Is the
Unanclal ngcnt of the cloilcal
party in supplying Garza with funds.
Summed up , it Is this : Bishops Montosto do
Ocu and Iturbldo Imto DInz and BO docs
Gar/a. They furnish the money mid Uarza
noes the worlt. There is not n word of spec
ulation in this. It Is a cold , naked fact.
So far as Garza attempting any trouble-
thIt , side Is concerned , It Is tlio veriest non
sense. When ho attached the United States
troops under Captain Bourki1 , It was under
necessity. His camp was surpiised nt night
and ho opened llro and Hod. So it 1ms been all
along. The solo mnbitlou of the Gar/a revo
lution Is to got across the river.
Inlhimmaiory pronuuclnmontos over differ-
out signatures calling Mexicans to arms
agnlnst tyranny nro eonstantly being cir
culated on both sides of the Uio Qr.indo. If
the United States authorities Iteep Garza's
forces well rounded up Instead of capturing
them , thov will bo forced to cross Into
Mexico , and then the real tocsin of war will
bo sounded.
The clerical party Is strong and rich , nnd
Diaz's Imprisonment of the priests nuulo
them bitter. Thu Mexican administration
desires to suppress every mention of the
revolution and pretends to believe there Is no
trouble brewing , but their actions nnd
preparations uro at variance. The trovoru-
meut realizes the Inevitable and is actively at
work. As a roauit of tl-o trouble Moxlcim
silver has fallen In price considerably.
Foreigners who nave developed Mexican In
dustries are alarmed. The foreign moral
supporters of Dluz , say it Is true that ho
rules more like an emperor than a president
of a republic , but It is this which gives for
eigners security.
The present uprising is seeking for n mili
tary loader , but at present there are none
available. All Iho governors and generals
lira well paid nnd rich , and they will stay on
Diaz's side bociiuso ttiey Ivivo all to losa nnd
nottilng to gain. Besides they are all crow-
tiK old.
The telegraph wires 'ootwoou Port Rlng-
gold'and this city are In good working order
and daily reports are received from the seat
of war nt the military dcpnrtmnat head
quarters Mtfro , In addition to official inform
ation General Stnulev received u loiter from
C.iptnin Bourke , in which the latter asks
[ hut the attention of the federal authorities
bo called to the necessity of having a greatly
increased force of Unitnd States deputy mar
shals ou the border. Ho stutes that
the people of the Rio Gr.iudo valley
will help G.ir/a to the last woman
and child , nnd It is almost
Impossible for the troops to accomplish any
thing in the way of suppressing thorn , as
they always assume noiv names when arrest
is attempted from written descriptions , nnu
those wanted escape. Captain Bourco ! con
cludes by stating ho has just rooolvcd a letter
from Captain Hurdle requesting that Sheriff
Sceloy send full descriptions and names of
those whoso a < Test is desired by the govern
ment. He assorts that ho is positive that ho
has seen several of those whoso numos ho has
on his list , and that ho is conlldont that ho
can arrest at least a dozen of the aotivo sup
porters of the Gnrza movement in the vicin
ity of Salcnono if ho can got some ono who
knows the parties wanted , so thai they can
bo Identified.
General Stanley at once referred the Inform
ation in Captain Bourho's letter to United
States Marshal Paul Fricito ot the Western
ulstrict of Texas , who will appoint a largo
force of .special deputies to assist the United
States troops in their works.

S\x ANTONIO , Tox. , Jan. 5. The troubles
on the border nro not settled , and it cannot
bo said that any great success has resulted
from the bravo and porslstant efforts of
United States troops in the Held , All that
has boon so far accomplished nas boon the
routing of Garza's men when they \voio en
countered in small bands. The policy of the
revolutionists when attacked , so far , has
been to scatter through the chapparal , and
it is confidently expected thut in every
such InKtnnco they havn it secret rendezvous
whr-ru they coma together again nftor the
skirmish. It is not believed that the actual
stronghold of the revolutionists has boon
reached , although Second Lieutenant George
11. Langhorno and Captain Francis W. Hnr-
die , with their detachments , mot many roiun-
Ing bands of thoin during the recent scout
lasting bovoral days.
The people of tlio lower Uio Gran do coun
try nro all ignorant country peoplo. A written -
ton report to General Stanley says : "Of the
populous part of ttio Kio Grandu vnlloy not
much can bo said. Tnero are some
few people educated nnd with rc-
llnoment , but the mass of the In

They have no sympathy with elthor govern
