Ilrnrvnl Talk of Cmnpri*-
iiiIm* on HIDrr
Washington, Oct 2.—The ninth week
of the present session of congress is
began, and tlie result of tho work so far
accomplished cannot be said to be
couraging to persons who had hoped for
a speedy adjustment of the great finan
cial question which canned the i»»ue of
the call for the special session. Tlie
present outlook is towards a continua
tion of the dehato which lias bt*>i
congress for the last five weeks in tho
senate. Tho renewed talk of compro
mise legislation, however, gives the im
pression in soino quarters that the end
may be noar. 'The list of speakers has
not been completed for this week, and it
maybe aivacd that whonit U, the
names of few repeal senators will ap
pear upon it, and the debate will be left
almost altogether to the silver men,
Three of tlype—Messrs. Teller, George
and Morgan-entitled to the floor at
any time to conclude speeches which
they havo liognn hut not finished.
The Week's HusIneM
In the house will lie confined, eo far as
can be stated, to a continuance of the
tho debate on the election bill, under the
order which will exhaust on the 10th in
stant. The delxite, as far aa it has pro
gressed, haa failed to develop any of
that intensity of i(artisan feeling so
freely predicted of it. In fact, it has
been rather tame and uninteresting, and
one or two days last week an early ad
justment was necessitated becaase there
was no one ready to proceed with the
argument. An improvement in thia re
spect is anticipated this week. The
speaker's list contains the names of some
of the leaders, who have asked for
time—Messrs. Burrows, Henderson, of
Iowa; Dnlliver, Fitch, Fellows and
others.
Tlie expectation is that the debate,
like that on the bill for the repeal of tho
silver imrehasing law, will increase in
interest toward the dose, and go out in
a blase of glory, op to speak. There are
a number of measures on the calendar
which may be called up for considera
tion during the morning hour, but it is
not protmble that any of them will be
brought to the attention c? the house,
for tne time for discussion is too brief to
warrant expectation of definite action.

Washington, Oct. 2.—Secretary Her
bert is in a quandary over the incident
of the American, Boynton, who was ar
rested by the British naval commander
at Rio for illegally flying the British flkg
on a tng that ho had seized for the pur
pose of attacking tho Brazilian insur
gents. The secretory I s inclined to think,
however, that the caso will not develop
into nn international controversy, as tho
friendly attitude immediately assumed
by tlie British naval commander in send
ing Boynton on board the Charleston, to
tie held in custody by Captain Picking,
has relieved tho situation of its embar-
rnwmient from a British point of view.
Tho navy department officials fear,
however, that Boynton is not the only
Americjin who ha* been guilty of viola
ting the strict neutrality which this gov
ernment has endeavored to preserve.
The stringent regulations of the navy
department have been supplemented by
special instructions to Cnptnin licking,
and MinishT Thompson has also been
urged to do everything in his power to
prevent Americans from taking any part
in the rovnlntion.
It is nuderetood that Minister Thomp
son's instructions, sent Saturday, con
tained a special caution for the com-
mandera of American merchant vessels
in the heritor of Rio.
President Cleveland, with whom Sec
retary Herbert had a conference regard
ing the Boynton incident, is especially
anxions that'there shall be n» repetition
of the disagreeable features of the Chil
ian revolution. He recognises tliat tho
Peixoto government ia the govommont
de facto of Brazil at present, but insists
thal no American wh*we conduct can lie
regulated shall commit any act to aid
the canao of either of the parties.
It would not l>e surprising to tho ad

in violation of a fundamental principle
rtmuntwill lie to hold Boynton on

In tlie meantime, it is iirolmblB that a

The identity of the American of the
name of Boynton, arrested Friday in tlie

number of torpedoes, was a matter of
much si>eculatiou among tlie habitue* of

like Boynton, Ids friends say, to be seized
with such a freak as the attempt to blow

during one of the war* lietween Pern
