THE OUTBREAK In MEXICO.
Naevo Leon Independents Gaining Strength
Attitude of State and Federal Authorities.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 3.-The following special from
Monterey to the Globe Democrat gives the latest
news Of the Mexican revolution: 1.-THE Inde-
pendent party, so called in Nuevo Leon, is gain
ing strength. It has published paper in this
city in which Gen. Cara Ayala, a distinguished
lawyer, is announced as its local president, and
Gen. Predo Martinez as vice president. These
eminent men, under of legal proceed
ure, bitterly oppose the present State govern
ment. while Manuel Rodriguez whose followers
now NUMBER 6OO men, unquestionably CO.
operating with them, has resorted to sterner
revolutionary measures, and is in arms, having,
as heretofore stated, routed Mauro Sepulveda,
the ad interim Governor. at Garcia, and has ad-
vanced since to Santa Catarina, within eight
miles or the State capital, where he is adding
hourly to his force. In the meantime. Sepul-
VEGA mas fallen back to the northward, has
ralhed his scattered forces, and has the promise
OF support at Bastamente, Villaldoma and Lam
pasas. he IS looked for at the former point
tonight and great preparations are being
made to give him grand welcome.
At Lampasas, Colonel Juan Zuazua, chief
OF stan to General Naranzo, will join Sepuldeva
with 800 men. The federal forces remain in
active still. 1t was believed the general govern
ment intended to permit the disorder to con-
tlnue until 1t would be clearly justified in inter
fering and proclaiming military rule, so as to
get the State under the immediate control of the
general government. Late advices, however,
indicate that an understanding has been reached
between Governor Garcia, Generals Trevino and
Naranzo. and Judge Davila now in Mexico City,
and the President
"A Washington dispatch says: "Senor Romero,
the Mexican minister, said, tonight. to re-
porter, that he had received no official informa-
ton about the revolution said to exist in Mex
leo. He believed that if there is revolution
1t is mere local trouble, and will not affect the
general welfare of the country, and that the
federal government is we'll able to put down any
revolution. He denies that American capital,
invested In Silver mines in that country, is in
danger from Mexicans."

AN UNEXPECTED RESCUE.
Three Men, Who We're Left on Guano Island
Rescued by United States Vessel.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-Secretary Whitney has
received from Captain T. A. Boardsley com
snanding the Powhatan, detailed report of
the rescue of three men from Roncuador island
The men were Anthony Repp, native of Alsace,
Henry Vontoiel, a German, and Bartholomew
Van Schendt, Dutchman. When questioned
by board of officers of the Powhatan, they told
the following story: They contracted with Capt.
Genett, superintendent for the Ritchies Com
pany, of New York, in April, 1884, to 60 to
Roncuador island, with other men, to collect
guano. Captain Genett returned with three
vessels, which, having been loaded with guano,
sailed for New York, and Genett went with
them. Before leaving, the three men and
Chinaman named Jim +. Cook signed a contract
to remain and get out guano, which Geuett was
TO return for in May. That was the last they
heard from Genett a government brig touched
st tie island in July, and an Old Providence fish
erman touched there in August. Finally their
food became bad, and thereafter they lived
chiefly upon fish, boobies and conches. Rain
water plentiful. The Powhatan touched
the island on Nov 20. and the men, not suspect
ing that she had come for them, came out to her
to purchase provisions and clothing with $l2,
which they had received from the fisherman
They were IN good physical condition.

KILLED ALL ON BOARD.
Explosion of the Tug Dora Emery in the East
River-The Entire Crew, Five Men, Killed.

NEW YORK, Dec 3.-This evening the steam
tug Dora Emery, towing steam barge, was
proceeding up the East river. When at Fifty
eighth street, the boiler exploded, and it is sup
posed killed the five men who are said to have
been aboard her.
LATER. The shock was so violent that win
dows on the New York shore, nearest which the
explosion took place, were shattered. Pieces of
debris were hurled ashore as far as Firstavenue
No cne sgshore was injured. The tow was cut
adrift, but was pick up by the steamer Frank
lin Edison. No trace could be found of the men
on the tug.
The crew of the tug consisted of Ave men,
Captain Jarrett Morris, Louis Capperata, engi-
neer; Charles Davis. cook; Thomas VanHansen.
fireman, and Garrett Morris, jr., deck khand.
This evening the tug started down the river
with scow lashed to its side. The scow was
freighted with stone for ballast. At He'll Gate, a
strong food tide was too much for the tug so
she put on extra steam to aid in stemming the
current The suppostion is that the force of
the extra steam was too much of a strain and
the boiler burst. The health boat was at the
scene OF the explosion soon after it occurred, but
found no trace of any of the crew. There is no
doubt but that all have perished. The Dora
Emery was valued at $40, 900.

SUNDAY LAW In CHICAGO.
The Argument Of the Saloon-Keepers-
100000 Foreigners Want Open Saloons.

CHICAGO, Dec 3-The Chicago saloon,k keepers
are exercised over the crusade against what they
consider their rights in the matter of Sunday
selling. They claim that the enforcement
of strict law compelling the closing of saloons
on the Sabbath day would be great injustice to
the general population of the city. They have
prepared statistics from the school census of
1884 to support their arguments that the Sun
day law should not be enforced in this city.
Their table shows that there were in 1884
174, 600 people in Chicago having English
and American characteristics, and presumably
in favor of Sunday observance. On the other
hand there were Ia 900 Irish. 21O OOo Germans,
$4,000 Scandinavians, $4,000 Bohemians, "a, 600
Poles 5000 French. 1000 Italians, 900 Africans.
$4,000 Swedes, $4,000 Norwegians, and 5000
Danes and others, making a total of nearly
$50, 900 foreigners. 1t is claimed that large
majority of these foreigners are in favor of open
saloons and amusements on the Sabbath, and on
this ground the liquor dealers, at future meet
ing, will demand a cessation of hostilities, and
viii take steps to secure modification of the
laws existing against so-called freedom of the
Sabbath.

Precedents for General Logan.

Special to New York Tribune.
By common consent General Logan is regarded
as being the coming man. The only matter IN
dispute is how he shall be elected. Opinion
seems to favor the plan proposed among others
by Senator Conger, viz: Elect senator Presl-
dent pro tenn. in order to swear in General
Logan, and on the following day elect the latter
to the chair. It is conceded that the Senate can
change its Presidents pro tenn. as often as it
chooses. The question of dignity involved in
putting up dummy for the purpose simply of
securing General Logans election will be con-
sidered as such. better way no doubt, would
be to adopt the Ferry precedent, and offer
resolution declaring that the oath of Office be
administered by the senior senator to General
Logan, and declare him elected President pro
tenn.
There is another precedent analogous to the
Ferry case to be found in the Thirty fifth Con-
gress. At the special session which assembled on
March T. 1857, the Senate passed resolution di-
recting the oath of Office to be administered to Mr.
Mason, and that he be declared President pro tenn.
Mr. Mason had been chosen President pro TEN,
at the preceding session, but his senatorial term
having expired with that session, and he having
been re elected to the Senate his re- e-appointment
as President pro tenn. was thereby rendered
necessary. This last appointment was vacated
by the appearance of the Vice president, John

Cost of Public Funerals.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-There is an old story
told Of an American traveller in Germany who
was accosted by native. The son of Uncle
Sam carried copy of Lindley Murray in his
hand, and the German incurred if he was an
Englishman. He received a negative reply, and
said no more on the subject After awhile the
two Arolled up to q statue of Frederick the
Great The German spoke in glowing terms of
the first Frederick when the American said
''How much did that statue costp "Ah," said
his companion, "you are an American" The
other admitted the fact, but inquired how the
fact became known so suddenly. The native re-
piled: ''Sir, on the resurrection morn, when
We stand before the great white throne, the first
question of every American there present will
be, How much did that throne costp"
This was rather rough on Uncle Sam, but it
is nevertheless true that every American cti-
zen counts the cost of everything with wonder
full inquisitiveness This fact accounts for the
statistics which an old gentleman great at fig
ures'' produced for the Journal correspondent to-
day.

THEBAW'S SURRENDER,

The Burmese Monarch Badly Frightened,
and Ready to Concede All that Is Asked.
LONDON, Dec. 3.-The following additional de-
tails of the surrender of King Thebaw were re-
ceived here to-day: On Saturday last General
Prendergast, commander of the British expe-
dictionary force, at the head of q brigade of
troops, marched into Mandalay. King Thebaw
at once received Colonel Stader, who accompa-
MED the expedition. The King was much
affected and frightened He said he hoped the
British would spare his life that he wished to
abdicate, and would remain in any house allotted
to him by the British government King The
baw claimed that his Ministers had deceived him
in regard to the situation of affairs that he
feared assassns would slay him if he left the
palace, Iand he would surrender to the British
authorities. Colonel Stader advised his Majesty
to plead with Lord Dufferin, the Viceroy Of
India at Calcutta. On Sunday King Thebaw
surrendered in the presence of the minister and
embarked for Calcutta, under guard. The
French consul accompanied his Majesty The
Burmese appear to be friendly disposed toward
the British.
Finedh. the Minister who is responsible for
Thebaw's crueties and intrigues against Eng
land, arrested while trying to escape. There

Stader will probably employ the Burmese Pre-
mier, who protected the European residents to
form temporary government. Active meas
ures are on foot to suppress the Dacoits near
the British frontier.
On MONDAY night Mandalay was plundered by
Dacoits who attacked the troops and killed and
staff for neglecting precautions.

had throttled the Liberals, but he
would probably regret the boast. If
it was true that he had throttled
the only great machinery that existed for Sc
curing justice to Ireland, Mr. Chamberlain said
he did not believe there would be permanent
departure of the Irish voters from the Liberal
party. The country would probably have, for
short time, a weak government, existing by the
sufferance of its opponents. If it did no mis-
chief, it might live; if it did harm, the Liberals
would speedily end it. He hoped that among
the lessons which the elections taught would be
this: That he had not lost by having clear,
definite policy. and that nothing could be gained
by whiting away issues until they were undis-
tinguishable from measures advocated by oppo-
nents.
The counties are polling so strongly for the
Liberals that they promise Liberal majority
over Tories and Parnellites combined, the Con-
seryatives requiring to win 122 more seats out of
the IA still unpolled of which it is calculated
that thirty will fall to the Parnellites. The Con-
servatives cannot possibly maintain power inde-
pendently Of the Parnellites The opinion of
the Conservative clubs is opposed to placing any
reliance on Parnell, but favors an early resigna-
tion Of the Salisbury Ministry in order to gain
an absolute majority. The Liberals need to win
half of the seats unpolled.
Mr.. Gladstone has issued an address to the
electors of Midlothian, in which he thanks
them for support, takes hopeful view of the
results of the election, and scouts the idea of
alliance of the Liberals and Tories.

Behef that the Coming Congress Will Enact
Measure Covering All Contingencies.
Special to tue Indianapolis JournaI.
WASHINGTON, Dec. Sit is the opinion Of
those congressman who have given the subject
attention that Congress will not longer delay tho
enactment of law providing for continuous
succession to the presidential chair in the event
of the death of the President and Vice presi-
dent. The bill which passed the Senate last
year, and which is called the Hoar bill, is per-
haps the best that could be offered. 1t is simple,
and provides for the succession TO the presidency
of the various Cabinet officers, in accordance
with their rank in the Cabinet. beginning with
the Secretary of State and ending with the Sec.
retary of the Interior. 1t can be said for the
plan that it would be the least likely to create
unpleasant complications, such as now exist, and
that it would be the most likely to guarantee a
continuance of the policy of the chief executive
elected by the people of any that has been sug-
gested. One bill that is heard OF quite fire.
quently of late proposes that the Electoral Col
lege shall be elected for four years, and that in
the event of vacancy the college shall immedi-
