AN $500, 900 DEFALcATloN
In the United States and Brazil Steamship
ComnanvIa Naxv YnrL 0fFlca

In the United States and Brazil Steamship
Company's New York ONCE.
New York, Sept. 2.-The World says:
Radical changes have recently been
made in the offices and management of
the United States and Brazil Mail Steam
ship company Of this city. Accounts
have been overhauled and its system of
bookkeeping subjected to changes which
have resulted in an unfavorable net
showing 1t was stated late Monday
night that defalcation Of $500, 1000 had
been discovered. The statement had its
source In Philadelphia. The company
operates regular line of steamers be-
tween New York and Rio Janeiro. Stops
are made at Newport News, Va.
The company is closely allied with the
Southern Pacific and Central Pacific in
terests, 9. p, Huntington, it is said, con-
trolling Its management. Others largely
interested are w. W. Evans, General
Ripley, II. W. Thurher and Paul K. Ger
hard. Captain j, M. Lachlan, who
had been manager for several years, re-
signed recently and for the present Mr..
Evans has assumed his duties.
With the boom In South American in
terests the last few years, and cor
responding decline in European carry
ing trade, tramp vessels have fiocked to-
wards South America, to the detriment
of large lines. This company has, with
others, suffered the heconsequences.
Great expense has also been entailed
In eQuipping the two additions to the
feet. Captain Lachlan, it Is claimed,
has been able to show book profits
which did not materalize to the satisfac-
Gon Of the stockholders.
Paul E. Gerhard Talks.
Paul z. Gerhard was seen at his
home In East Range He said:
ut is no secret that the company has
not made any money lately, Its losses,
though, have been by no means heavy.
Changes in bookkeeping and systems OF
accounts have been introduced which
show the real condition of affairs more
intelligently than before. Such things
often happen In the course of business.
With our new feet and with the ten
tehcy of tramp vessels to again turn to
European fields the outlook is very en-
couraging."
Captain Lachlan left ten days ago for
Key West, where he had charge Of the
work on the wrecked steamer Eldorado,
which also belongs to the Huntington
interest. He IL expected to return next
Monday.

NASHVILLE, Sept 2.--The extra ses-
sion of the Forty general assem-
bly, Of Tennessee convened at noon Mon
day and after listening to the reading of
the governors message adjourned until
Tuesday. In his message the governor
incidentally suggests the purchase of
undeveloped coal lands upon which the
penitentiary be erected with view to
working the mines with convict labor
and selling the coal to the public.
Tuesday several bills looking to the
abrogation of the present lease and to
the building of new prison were intro
duced and referred to committees. The
most important of these was by the
penitentiary committee, providing for
the appointment of a commission en-
powered to build new penitentiary.
1t is barely possible that some such bill
as this will pass. Hawkins, of Hamil-
ton, recognized labor leader, intro
duced somewhat aggressive resolution,
but it was promptly tabled. Senator
Polk introduced bill authorizing the
governor to call out the state militia TO
quell the rebellion in existence at Brice-
vile and other mines.

MEN AND MONEY GONE.
A Directory Not Giving Satisfaction to
Business Men.

COLUMBUS, Ind, Sept. 2.-Three or
four weeks ego two young men appeared
here soliciting orders for a directory, to
embrace all the business men of Colum-
bus. With each order was to be de.
livered a quart bottle of ink and one
copy of the directory.
The parties collected nearly 81 900, de-
livering the ink, which turns out to be
worthless, with one or more copies of
the directory to be delivered when
printed. The ink was delivered in old
secondhand beer and ink bottles of all
kinds, bearing a.label, civilian Shack
elford, sole manufacturer, West Indian
apolis, two-pint-glass ink"
The two strangers contracted with a
local printing Office to print 1000 copies
of a cheap pamphlet directory, 8x6
inches, on cheap paper, to deliver one or
more to each subscriber, as agreed. The
title cover is to read: "Turn Me Over
Columbus Business Directory, Compli-
ments of V. M. Shackelford, Ink Manu-
facturer." The two men are gone, and
the business and professional men are
not pleased with the outlook.

VICRoRIA, B. c., Sept. 2.-The follow
ing schooners arrived at Victoria from
Behring sea Monday night: Annie G.
Moore, 1850 skins; ordered out by her
majesty's steamship Nymphe. Her
hunters killed 1000 in three days.
Schooner Carlotta Cox, ordered out by
the Rush with 500 skins. She reports
that she could have taken another thou
sand but her salt ran out. The schooner
Borealis, with 1900 skins, came out
without having been warned at all.
The most important news of the sea-
son was brought down by the schooner
Geneva Monday night. She brought 900
skins, and is first home Of those venture
some schooners that made the Russian
side of the sea. Two days after reach
ing Behring sea she was ordered out by
the British warship Pheasant, and Cap
tain Seward, knowing his owners would
be heavy losers if he came home, made
for the Russian side and brought up
twelve miles Off the rookery at Copper
Island. He ran in between the Amtri-
can schooners Teresa and j. Hamilton
Lewis, and at once sent boat to the
former to see what luck she had.
The Teresa gave the news that she and
the schooner Rich had fooled the Rus
slams many times, but that on the day
before, Aug. 2, Captain Alexander Nc
Lean, of the Rich, was ashore with two
boats, and just as they were returning
to the schooner ten Russian guards
rushed ON them over the sand hills and
started shooting with rifles. They fired
several rounds, and though many bullets
hit the boats, only Captain Mclean was
struck. His kneecap was smashed and
his left hand hit. Then both schooners
made off to their position, twelve miles
Copper Island.
The Russian man-of-war Alert, thir-
teen guns, the next day steamed out af-
ter the three schooners. All of them
put ON every stitch of canvas and for
twelve miles there was chase, the Alert
firing blank cartridges all the time.
Then the wind fell off and she came up
to within a mile of the Lewis and fired
a ball that smashed the bowsprit in
halves and brought her to. The Geneva
and Teresa then saw two boats pull
from the Russian and board the Lewis.
which ten minutes afterward was taken
in tow and rapidly disappeared.
Nothing has been heard of the Otter
She was not seen The Nymphe, Cor
win, Russia and Pheasant are after her,
and it is said that, on account of her
leaving here with full knowledge of the
proclamation, they intend to take pre-
emptory steps against her if she is found.

Fifty Millions in North Dakota,

GRAND FORKS, N, D., Sept. 2.-The
whole wheat crop just harvested in this
state exceeds 50000,000 bushels. Com
missioner of Agriculture Helgeser's of
fetal estimate places wheat acreage at
1900, 600 acres, with an average yield of
seventeen bushels to the acre, making
the aggregate yield $1,000, 900 bushels,

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 2.-The sensational
news from the City of Mexico in relation
to the impending revolution, was read
with more than passing interest in st.
Louis. Mr. George P. Miller, formerly
private secretary to Samuel j. Randall
when speaker of the house at Washing
ton, has an extensive acquaintance with
prominent Mexicans and Mexican affairs.
He pronounced the charges against
President Diaz the verie5t bosh General
Francisco Olivares, of the Mexican army,
was In st. Louis in June last and Mr.
Miller had quite lengthy conversation,
during which the general told him that
President Dlaz has not antagonized any
party. That his course has been such as
to win him friends of all political color.
General Olivares is a Catholic, and he
had no hesitancy in saying that the
president had done nothing to arouse
the enmity of the clerical party.

BICYCLES IN THE ARMY.


with tho Wheel.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.--Lieutenant
William II. Bowen, of the artillery, who
inspected the Connecticut national
guard during its recent encampment,
has sent to the war department very
complimentary report giving the result
of his observations A novelty of the
encampment was special bicycle SER
vice by corps Of First regiment men,
and this feature is specially commended.
1.-THE men were armed, says Lieu
carbine and with the revolver. A man
mounted on bicycle can go many places
where 1t would be impossible to take q
horse, and it can beat the flag in send
ing messages in nearly every case. Asa
fighting force it may not be favored, but
as messengers, patrols and advance
guards, In my opinion it would be ad-
visable. / would recommend to the
serious consideration of the war depart
ment the advisability of experimenting
with the bicycle. The principal duties
of the military cyclist are those of carry
ing dispatches, skirmishing and recon-
noitering. AS applied to the signal SER
vice, the wheels, In my opinion, would
almost double its usefulness"
OF the colored troops, Lieutenant
Bowen says they "were simply perfect,
and In getting through the bush, as
demonstrated on the guard duty, they
exhibited the traits of Indians, and in
scouting, exhibited an acuteness that
was absolutely marvellous"
Lieutenant Bowen writes in terms Of
praise OF nearly every feature of the en-
campment

The Outlook in Hayti.

PoRT-AU-PRINCE, Sept. 2. - 1t now
looks as if Hippolyte had lost all hope of
being able to successfully resist the
coming revolution. He has sent his
family to Cape Haytian for safety. The
commandant Of Fort National has re-
ceived orders to turn the guns on the
city if the exiles return and succeed in
overpowering the guards OF the palace.
1t is probable that in such a case Hippo
lyte will retreat to Cape Haytian and
there make his last stand.

Balmaceda is supposed to have been
endeavoring to escape from San Antonio
in the Almirante Condell, which was
seen off that port this morning. The
Esmeralda and Aconcagua have gone
out to intercept the Condell. 1t is sup
posed that Balmaceda's intention is to
meet the Imperiali at Talcuhuano and
escape to Montevideo.

All the hospitals here are full Of
wounded, and private houses are being

there are 1900 wounded now In the
city.
Balmacedists' Property Confisoated.
The property of the Balmacedists will
be confscated to pay off the paper issue
of the dictator The banks have been
temporarily closed for the inspection of
their books, in order to ascertain the
amounts TO the credit of Balmaceda and
his satellites.
Quiet Restored.
The city is quiet, The merciless
slaughter of rioters and incendiaries has
etfectually suppressed all disturbances.
No More Trouble Looked For.
Although the congressionalist forces
are weakened by the departure OF the
troops sent to Santiago to restore order
there, and under Colonel Canto to take
formal possession of the capital, the cit
izens guard and the American, British,
German and French marines remain on
duty, and there is little likelihood that
that the peace of Valparaiso will be
again broken No foreigners were hurt
or killed in the riots,
An Editor Executed.
The congressionalists are determined
to repress all treasonable utterances by
word and in writing. They have made
an example of Leon LAWN, the editor Of
a Balmacedan newspaper, The formal
Comercio. He was shot yesterday for
issuing seditious pamphlets, and his fate
will be that of any partisans of the lost
cause who seek to infame the popular
mind against the victors.
Not Sufficient Troops.
The explanation Of the riots at Satiago
is that when Balmaceda delivered the
capital to Baquedano, who was charged
with handing it over to the congression-
alists, there were not sufficient troops in
it to maintain order. The populace en-
ragged by the severity Of Balmaceda's
rule, under which they had chafed,
abused the liberty which came to them
with the change of power The mob let
loose all it's pent-up fury. 1t would have
gone hard with Balmaceda if he had
fallen into the hands of the rioters. His
house was burned and sacked, as also
were the houses of his partisans, and the
railroad station was wrecked.

ON AN OLD WOMAN SINGING.

Sweet are the n that I have heard
From green boughs and the building bird;
Prom children bubbling DER with u n
While sleep still held me half in swoOn;
And surly bees hummcd everywhere
Their drowsy bass along the air;
From hunters and the hunting horn
Before the day star woke the morn;
From boatmen in ambrosial dusk,
Where, richer han o pun Of musk,
The blossom breath they driftcd through
Fell out OF branches drcucLod with dew.
And sweet the strains that come 90 me
When in great mcmories ] see
All that fun throated Quiring throng
GU streaming on the winds Of song;
Her who affair in upper sky
Sounded the wild Nalkyrie's cry,
With golden clash Of shield and spear,
Singing for only gods 70 hear;
And her who on the trumpels blare
Sang Angels Ever Bright and Fair"
Her voice, her presence, where she stood.
Already part Of angelhood.
But never have I heard in o
Sweetness and sorrow so prOlong
Their being-as hushed music rings
Along vibrating silver strings
As when. with all her eighty years,
With all her fires long quenched in tears,
A little woman, with a look
Like some flower folded In a book,
Lifted a thin anU piping tone,
And like the sparrow made her moan,
Forgetful that mother heard.
And sang till q 1 her soul was stirred.
n listening Oh, what Joy and grief
Trembled the g like a trembling leaf
The strain " .ere first love thrilled the bars
Beneath the PRIESTHOOD Of the tars;
The murmu Of soft lullabys
Above dear unconsenting eyes;
The hymn where once her pure soul trod
The heigh' above the hills of ROD
All on the Iuavering note avvoke,
And in a lent passion broke,
n MAJ that tender tune and word
The swe est song l ever heard.
Harriet Prescott Spofford in Harper's Bazal
