The Senate Ai Votes to Revive the Grade of L,leoennnt-eieral. WASHINGTON, Jan. 18. The Senate today passed the army appropriation bill, carrying $23,000,000, and the bill which, In effect, advances General Schotleld, in command of the army, to the rank of lieutenant general. . held by Generals Sherman and Sheridan. Aside from this the day was given to the debate on the Nicaraguan canal. Mr. Morgan, in charge of the measure, sought to fix a time for bringing the question to a vote, but without success, and the tedious uisctwslon goes on with little prospect of a speedy vote. Mr. Caffrey, of Louisiana, presented a new phase on the subject by,oneripgi,av-Besolutlon mrging a new treaty wkx. Nicaragua and Costa Rica for the cession of a" canal route entirely under, the Jurisdiction of the United States. The credentials of . Mr. Frye, of Maine, certlfying'hla re-election for a term of six years were presented - by the Senator's colleague, Mr. Hale, on the opening of the session. .t- . y .. - Mr. Peffer presented, a 4)111 embodying his views of dealing with the present financial conditions. The-measure is entitled "A bill to replenish the treasury and provide an abundant and safe currency." It provides for repealing the laws authorizing the issue of bonds and fcfr the immediate issue of $100,000,090 In treasury notes, to be redeemable In -silver or gold. Mr. Peffer said he was inspired by the same motive as that animating Mr. Pugh in urging yesterday that . Senators should at once meet the rinancal emergency. The first question demanding attention was the replenishment of the treasury. The sale of bonds had proved a failure, as the sales of $100,000,000 had not , prevented the treasury gold reserve from fa'lltng to seventy millions. The army, appropriation bill was then passed, with' an amendment providing that contemplated changes in army posts in the Northwest should not lead to the abandonment of forts Vancouver and Walla Walla, Wash. Efforts ' were made to take up the bill creating the rank of lieutenant-general of the army, which would have the effect of giving Major-general Schofield the rank held by Sherman and Sheridan when - at the head of the army. Mr. (Alien interposed an objection. He said that as a boy he had served under General Schofield and knew his worth, but he did not believe in Increasing military grades in these peaceful times. At 12:50 the Senate went into executive session on motion of Mr. Morgan, chairman of the committee on foreign relations. Vhen the doors were opened the Senate passed the military grade bill and then took up the Mcaraeuan canal mpajtiir. whinh was discussed .till adjournment at 5 o'clock. THE JAPANESE TREATY. It Meets with Unexpected Opposition In Executive Session. ' WASHINGTON, Jan. 18. More opposition was developed in the executive session to-day ; towards the Japanese treaty than, had been expected by Its friends, the dis tinguishing feature of the session being the ; display of criticism from unexpected sources. ; The Senators from the Pacific coast, lect py air. Mitchell, of Oregon, and Mr, , White. of California. mani fested a decided disposition to find. fault with the agreement in Its present form, and both suggested the necessity of amending iL Senators Frye and Davis, of the committee on foreign relations, made suggestions indicating that they thought the present treaty could be Improved by amendments for the better protection of American interests. Senator .i.iv..i., oifcucu lijai mo clause in me treaty which exempted the citizens of one country from military duty while in the other country, with the proviso that they were also exempted from the payment of money in lieu of their services, would mean that they would not be subject to road - . . . j ubo.bc:D, nc Dam, viicie was provision for road taxes, whether residence was temporary or permanent, and under rAcunmuiia me ireaLY iiu i itttz (axes could be enforced. This was one of the defects which will probably be cured if the treaty is amendeu at all. Senator White urged the acceptance of more explicit, provision for the restriction made to the treaty, however, was directed ac the portion giving to Japan the advantages of a favored nation clause, and the point was made by several Senators that : the wording of the treaty was such as to fasten it on the country for a term of not less than fifteen years should abrogation be proposed by Japan. Senator Frye directed this objections to this phase of the question, and offered an amendment intended to correct this defect, and also looking to additional and discriminative protection to commerce carried in American bottoms. 'Senator Morgan defended the treaty at length, but when he discovered the opposijvvvin.uivii, vi tlx LiiCl consideration until next Friday, which suggestion was adopted. The Sluln AnnesatlonUt.

Stevenson, eldest daughter of the Vice President, died at the Battery Park Hotel, in this city, at 1:15 o'clock this afternoon. Her father and mother and two sisters were at the bedside when the end came, the only absent member of the- family being her brother, Lewis, who Is at the bedside of his sick wife, in Bloomington, 111. Miss Stevenson, who was in her twenty-tecond year, was taken ill with a severe cold while at Bar Harbor, . Me., with her mother and sisters; last summer. The attack developed into pneumonia of a severe type, which seriously affected her lungs, but she finally rallied sufficiently to be taken South, where it was hoped a milder climate would aid her recovery. About the middle of October she was brought to Asheville, In the mountains of western North Carolina, where the air Is usually dry and balmy. The change at first appeared to Improve her health, but it did not last long, owing to the ract tnat a complication of diseases had told severely on her system, the most serious of these being uremic poisoning. Dr. S. W. Battle, one of the most eminent physicians in the South, formerly a naval surgeon, but now a resident of this place, was summoned to attend her, but she was then seemingly too far gone to permit recovery under the treatment. After reaching here she never left her bed, and for nearly three months she struggled against the disease, but In vain, although the distressed family still cherished hope that a change for the better might eventually come. For the past ten days she had been slowly : sinking, and it was when the decline became most marked that Vice President Stevenson, who had previously paid weekly visits to his daughter's bedside, left the Senate chamber and came to Asheville to remain to the last. He and his family have been patient and devoted watchers, but their ministering was useless, and this afternoon the fair young sufferer passed away. Only the members of the bereaved family were present at the death bed scene. The end was seemingly painless, the dying young woman having relapsed into unconsciousness a few hours before. The remams will be taken to Bloomington, 111., the family home, for interment. The family will leave here with the body to-morrow afternoon, Dy way of Knoxvllle and Cincinnati. Then they will take the "Big Four" route direct to Bloomington, reaching there Sunday evening. The funeral will take place on Monday.

WAR IN HAWAII. (Conclnded from First Page.) blood and shreds erf clothing were seen every where The only man wounded from the government side was Ludwig-, who received a flesh'wound in the thigh. Seven prisoners were .taken, and from them It was learned that the leaders of the rebels were Samuel Nowlin, former colonel of the Queen's household guard, and Robert Wilcox, .who was the leader of the revolution in 1887, the other prominent ones being half whites formerly in the serv'ce of the Queen. After the first surrender the natives came dropping into the government camps in bunches until there were soon more prisoners than troops.; The prisoners claimed they had six hundred rifles, but only five hundred men were arrested. At 6 o'clock the government forces camped for the night, pursuit being Impossible in the dense brush. REBELS ATTACKED FROM THE REAR. While the rebels were being corraled, .the tug Eleu, with a field piece and a detail of sharpshooters, left Honolulu, and in a half hour was in a position to shell from the rear the natives whose camp fronted Lieutenant King's command., A few well-flred shots scattered them like sheep, one shot falling directly into the natives' camp. It is known that five' men were killed here and a large number wounded. The natives were, pursued by Lieutenant Coyne's company as far as the nature of the ground allowed. V A shot from hi3 field piece scattered a crowd of them who appeared on the edge of the crater, and .four dead was the result. Thirtysix rifles, two one-hundred-pound boxes of cartridges and two dynamite bombs were found in an improvised fort; also a lot of clothing, including a United States navy dress coat.. Squads of troops scoured the summit of Diamond Head, but no natives were found. Two cases of gin were captured and brought to headquarters. . After being examined by Dr. Coper,1 the army surgeon, the stuff was pronounced poisoned, and it was destroyed. From statements of the natives captured during the day it was ascertained that the captain of the little steamer Waimanalo was responsible fo the landing of the arms with which the. natives were supplied. The entire crew was arrested. The mate confessed, and, when confronted with his testimony, the captain also acknowledged his guilt. The government claims to have evidence of the whoie transaction from the original purchase of the arms until their final disposition. During the day a large number of orominent royalists were arrested, including the editor of the , Holomua, which paper was suspended, the business manager being since arrested. : ' Some excitement. was occasioned during the afternoon - by the appearance of two . strange barks and two small schooners off port. The steamer Claudine and tug Eleu, with fifty men and two cannons, went, after and searched them, but no contraband of war was found. W. A. Kinney, a prominent lawyer, with his party, ': including four ladies and two gentlemen, who were passing through the rebel lines, were detained from Sunday Afternoon-; until . released by government troops on Tuesday afternoon. . ' Up to 4 o'clock" p.' m, Tuesday thirtyfour of Honolulu's prominent royalists, not including natives, were under arrest. At midnight the remaining rebels

were being pursued in every direction by. small squads of , police, the troops returning to the barracks during the night, their clothing torn . and their dilapidated appearance' showing the effect of their ; hard trip. The steamer Lle-Au-Hou. which was sent to the islands of Maul and Hawaii to ascertain the condition of affairs there, has returned with the news that everything was quiet. ' The inhabitants knew nothing of the revolution and were not even . informed of It by those on the steamer. But one trusted agent of the government. Hon. P. P. Baldwin, went ashore on either island. " THE REBEL PROGRAMME. A government spy who had been sent to the rebel camp returned on Tuesday at 10 p. m., stating that he had succeeded in reaching the camp and gaining the confidence of the natives. There were about 150 under command of Wilcox, who claimed to have 1,000 'men with plenty of " arms, provisions, etc. Samuel Nowlin, with seventy-five more, was said to be within a short distance. The rebel programme was to march to Punch Bowl and capture the powder magazine there. The spy's story caused two companies of volunteers to occupy Punch Bowl before midnight. One field piece was taken along. At noon on "Wednesday there was 163 prisoners in jail, about one hundred being prisoners of war. During the afternoon heavy firing was heard from Manoa valley. At 4 o'clock a company of sharpshooters and another of the citizens' guard drove the rebels from the ridge downward, while the companies and battery from the Punch Bowl were in possession of the other side of the valley. The rebels were hemmed in, with no possible escape except by hand-to-hand climbing for about two thousand feet. The lowest estimate of the rebel force is sixty, " the highest two hundred. At 8 p., m. a courier brought word that one rebel had been killed, one mortally wounded and six captured. At midnight another rebel was killed. Carl Widemann, son of Liliuokalani's latest envoy of the United States, has been missing since iast Thursday, and it is believed he will be found among the killed. There were no further casualties on the government side. Two prisoners from the seat of war were sent in yesterday. One is a half white carpenter named Poole, who says he left the Wilcox party the night before. When captured he had a Winchester and one hundred rounds of cartridges. None of the Wilcox party had had anything to eat since Monday except guavas and a bullock they had killed. Poole said Wilcox had thirty men yet. The remainder of his original party were either wounded, dead, deserted or taken prisoners. Another capture was Arthur Fitzgerald. Straggling prisoners were brought In during the afternoon, and at this time It looks as though, with the exception of Wilcox and his band of thirty, the Wilcox contingent of rebels has been wiped out. A cavalry company; is being organized. The city' is quiet. ' Banks and many of the stores have resumed busi-

ness. A few arrests have been made in I

"What action will be taken in her case cannot be ascertained. The Chilian man-of-war Esmerelda. flying the Venezuelan flag, has arrived here. John T. Waterhouse, a millionaire, and the oldest merchant In Honolulu, Is dead. SI RPR I SE AT WASHIN GTON". Talks with Minister Thnrston, Secretary Herbert and Mr. Illtt. WASHINGTON. Jan. 18. The news of the insurrection was a great surprise In diplomatic circles here. Neither the Hawaiian minister nor any members of the foreign relations committee of the Senate and House had any expectation of such an occurrence. The general impression seems to be that no revolution can be serious in its results unless aided and abetted by some foreign power. The forces at the command of the government are said to be able to suppress any possible native rising or uprising of disorderly foreign elements. Speaking of the matter to-night Minister Thurston said: "The whole affair is a gfeat surprise to me. Our last advices showed everything to be entirely peaceable. There were then no war ships of any natibn at Honolulu, the Champion having left some time before." Minister Thurston thanked the Associated Press for giving him the news of the insurrection and remained In the office of tne Associated Press reading the account of the insurrection as it was received over the wires. Secretary Herbert said: "We have no ships at Honolulu at present, nor are any' on their way there. The Cnarleston and the Bennington are at San Francisco ready to proceed and could leave to-morrow if it were thought necessary. This is the first news that I have received of the matter, and I have not had the time to decide whether a ship should be sent at once or not." Representative Hitt, of the foreign relations committee of the House, said: "The matter can hardly be serious or there would have been more than fifteen killed. Unless the English residents are back of an insurrection it will be certain to fail. The government has some two thousand Americans back of it, and they could- whip any possible force of the natives. The effect of this trouble should be to strengthen the government rather than not. It will cause much dissatisfaction in this country, as it will be an object lesson of continuous ill will manifested by our, government toward the Sandwich Islands. The Secretary of State, in his last , message, transmitting the Hawaiian correspondence to Congress, laid emphasis on the quietness of the country, but Admiral Walker and even Minister Willis, though the latter was guarded in his communications, and feared that trouble was pending." It is understood that Minister Willis several times has urged on the United States government the advisability of the United States having a war ship in Hawaiian waters continuously. Secretary Gresham was dumbfounded by the news. "It was wholly unexpected," he said. "I saw the Hawaiian minister yesterday and he told me all was quiet there. I am amazed. I can't say what the administration will do. I have not had time to think. The dispatch seems to say the rebels had artillery. Where could they have got this? The dispatch does not speak of any being landed. Do you think there can be any doubt that the news is accurate?" It was not possible to get the news of the insurrection to the President to-night. Neither Secretary Gresham nor Secretary Herbert visited the White House after receiving the news. Mr. Thurber had retired before receiving it, and, though receiving it, he thought the hour too late to disturb the President. No action could be taken in any case until morning. i s Senator Morgan, of Alabama, . chairman of the Senate committee on foreign relations, declined to enter into a discussion of the rebellion to-night. "I wouldn't care to say what should , be the policy of this government in the matter without further thought," he said. "Nor would it be my place to point out a policy for the administration. But," and the Senator spoke with almost dramatic force, "but they cannot overthrow the republic, nor will this government stand by. and see it done." HEAVY LOSS BY FIRE, Macon, Ga..

He says the gravel streets are in a better condition than they were a year ago. During the year 16,460 loads of gravel were put on them. As many loads of dirt have been hauled, besides 1,623 loads of broken stone. The sewer gangs have cleaned 1,007 catchbasins and repaired 151. The ; bridge department has had much to do, and the work has been expensive, because so many of the bridges were found to be badly worn. The bridge gang repaired 588 foot bridges and built 820.

Grand "The Little Trooper. i It would be no hard task to .guess that J. Cheever Goodwin and William Furst went to the French for "The Little Trooper," Delia Fox's aptly styled vaudeville operette, that opened at the Grand last night. It is of the French Frenchy; from the chic mademoiselles that rule the Bon Marche In the first act to the coterie of Hussar officers with inflammable passions ready to carry off the first pretty woman who happens to visit the barracks in the last act. While French soldiers may be good and brave fighters and all that, one rosy-cheeked girl in camp is enough to demoralize discipline in a regiment. So it is In. "The Little Trooper." The mixture of comedy and sprightly music gives the opera a very attractive dash and the witty lines with their broad French suggestlveness, of which there is little attempt at concealment, is sauce to the palates of passe bachelors and provokes giggles and shy winks on the part of the women. "Les 28 Jours de Clalrette," from which came "The Little Trooper," did not have a great run in Pans. It was ninced tnat the story was too prudish. However, U is caviare enough for the United States taste for several years to come. Among the many bright lines there are some French bon mots no doubt, lifted bodily from the libretto of Raymond and Mars. The critic is reasonably certain ; their full meaning was not always caught, except by the bohemians in the rear of the house, and they roared. There are other bits of comedy work, principally by the inventive De Angelis and Marie Celeste, that suggest a famous story told on Faust and Marguerite. Yes, "The Little Trooper" is plenty broad, thank you, for Indianapolis. Although Clay M. Greene's name appears as the adapter, Cheever Goodwin did the first part of the work, and became so slow that the manuscript was turned over to : Greene, who rushed it through in short order. There is enough to the story to maintain continued interest in the movements of- the characters, and ' yet all is treated as lightly as vaudeville. It deals with a little French milliner, Clalrette, who Is Delia Fox, and who follows her soldier husband. Emile Duval, out of Jealousy and takes the place in the hussars of a loutish lieutenant, Benoit, who has not put in an appearance. The situation furnishes much amusement to the audience because of Clairette's sex being unknown to any of the soldiers save a joking old officer, Gibard, done to a nicety by Jefferson De Angelis. She turns the camp upside down, as she says, fights a duel with a sergeant and finally is to be shot for assaulting a superior officer, who is none other than her husband. Then she cleverly masquerades, appearing in her true character, while the real new recruit turns up at the right moment. It is only just to say Delia Fox, in her stellar role, took the house by storm; so did De Angelis .with his topical song, being encored out of verses. Untrammeled by any one in the cast to "hog" the stage Delia Fox showed what she could do when once let loose. She laughed, and scolded, and raved, and gurgled, and always had the keenest attention, but really it seemed a trifle Eecond hand when so much of her playing was openly directed toward a certain box. where a party of men-about-town were only too apparently flattered by her attention. As Clairette, Miss Fox's admirers were many in the crowded house, and her favors might have been more generally distributed. De Angelis and the sergeant played by Ed Knight have a quaint duet in the last act with a comic walk-around that won great appreciation. It certainly bears French earmarks. Miss Fox has a little song with a "Daisy"' refrain verv prettily worked into a chorus that half the men went out of the theater whistling. It is jthrown in like a fragrant pousse cafe after a good dinner. Paul Arthur in the role of Captain Duval, is, of course, a strong member of the cast and his singing was a rare treat. Villa Knox Is not favored with many songs that bring her prominently before the footlights in prima donna importance and her voice is not wholly satisfying, but she was pretty enough as the amorous mistress of the Bon Marche and was an excellent foil for Delia Fox's extravagance. On the whole the chorus is, perhaps, better drilled both In voice and movements than any seen here this season. The cast follows: Emile Duval, captain Thirteenth Hussars Paul Arthur Gibard, lieutenant Jefferson D Angelis Mlchonnet. lieutenant.. Charles J. Campbell Benoit, lieutenant Alf C. Wheelan Pepin, sergeant Ed Knight Jules La Tour, colonel Charles Dungan Corporal John Dudley Mathilde Lovell, proprietress of the Bon Marche Villa Knox Octavie, forewoman of the Bon Marchie Marie Celeste Virginie, salesgirl...; Hattie Williams Coarlie. salesgirl ....Eugenie Nicolson Ninette, salesgirl May Levinge Lady, salesgirl May Cuthbert Clairette Duval, Emlle's wife... .Delia Fox Ilss Pfafllln's Grievance. Miss Theodora Pfafnin, who has been a professional singer now for several years, and who was born and raised in this city, tells a story of slovenly mistreatment during her recent engagement in the East with the Ysaye Concert Company. She returned to Cincinnati this week, after finding it no longer possible to keep her connection with the company that has the wonderful pianist Ysaye at its head. She asserts that, while there could be no comparison between her artistic value a. 3 a singer and the towering genius of Ysaye, yet she became an object of jealousy to him, because she was a favorite with several audiences, especially in Toronto.
