New YoaK. Dec. 1s.-A dispatch from
Para, Brazil, dated Dec. 8, says there hiss
been much clashipg here Of late between
the civil and military forces growing out of

we have had stirring times, daily rows in
the streets between the soldiers and the
police. and some blood has been piled.
The police have been enrolled IS the Gov.
ernor's guard; hence the encounters between
them ard the soldiers. The fire brigade,
which at ore time was 10 favor ofthe Cover.
nor and had been armed to aid him in case OF
need, has sided With the soldiers and has in
consequence been disarmed. The soldiers
and some of the fire brigade, are now, by
order of the Governor, beirg deported in
small detschments, to the end that he may
acquire supremacy with his police.
For the last three days the police have
been shut up in the barracks, ard the city

Sadie Martinot Must Pay the Duty.

NEW YORK, Dec. lS.--The Board of
general Appraisers have rendered decis-
ion on protest by Sadie MartlDot, the ac-
tress. against any assessment of duty on a
theatrical costume imported by her Sept
22, 1890 She claimed that it should be
admitted free of duty as stools of trade =
She says that she came to this country July
20, 1890. Before che left Europe che Sc.
lected the materisl from which the costume
was made, was measured for the same, and
left orders to have it made up. The Board
hold that this statement fails to prove legal
ownership. and that the primA facie pre-
sumption i, that she did not secure the le-
gal title to it until it arrived in this country
and was paid for. The decision of the Col
lector assessing duty on the costume is
therefore affmed.

NATIONS CAPITAL.
Senator's Still Pounding Away
on the Election Bill.
The Proposed Financial Bill Favorably
Rsportsd to the Senate.

WARRINGTON, Dec. is-In the Senate
= bill TO terminate the reduction in mum.
bers the engineer corps Of the navy Was
passed.
Sserman, from the committee on finance.
reported bill sgainst the contraction OF
currency. Printed and rscommuted.
Sherman called up bill providing the
tariff act shall not be held to impede OF
impair the force Of the treaties between
the United States and other countries.
German objected. The bill went to the
calendar.
The elections bill was taken up and Coke
addressed the Senate in opposition.
Culiom said the bill was opposed on the
other side Of the chamber on the ground
that the general government had no right
under the constitution, to control and man.
age the election of Representatives to Con
gress in the States. Outside Of the Ian.
gusge of the constitution, which authorized
it, salt, savor and common sense 10 not 10
the objection. Common sense declared
that the general goverpment had right and
duty imposed upon it by the consti utinn and
by the results of the war to protect the
negro Of the South in the right to cast q
free ballot and have . fair count; in the
right to exercise, without fear of violence.
and undeterred by threats of any kind, all
the political rights of American citizens.
The time is at hand. Cullom declared,
when the authority Of the government must
!, be interposed in behalf of the negroes in
the South. The state authorities would
have to be compelled to respect the rights
of negro voters. That compulsion
would have to be applied under legal
authority. Congress would have to
enact laws under which all elections for
representatives to Congress should be con-
ducsed. The government would have to as
sumo control in the manage ment of all
such ee ections and provide mesns for pro-
lection to its officers while in the diichsrge
of their duties. Bate opposed the bill be-
cause he believed it to strike freedom of
ballot and tended to breed disturbance
and destroy the peace and quiet of society.
Ii was the usurper of the rights of States
and men. Ii was a promoter of central
power in the federal government at the ex-
pense of the rights of States If not of their
autonomy. 1t was sectional and struck at
the South. He believed it to be the most
prominent of the many Hnger-boards on the
political highway that pointed TO an empire.
If he might employ the language of the
Declaration of Independence against the
British king, he would say of the bill.
that i. proposed to "erect q multitude
of new offices and send swarms of officers
to hsrass the people" Its enactment ould
establish q system of esponsge sgsinst
which sanctity at home would afford no
protection. At 4.2o, at q suggestion by
German, that Bate would prefer not to fin-
isk his speech this evening, the elections
bills were laid aside informally, and several
bills were passed. After short executive
session, the Senate at 5 rs adjourned.
