DEEP SORROW AT THE CAPITAL
The President Has an Affecting Inter.
view With His Cabinet.

The Funeral to Take Place on Monday.
Messages of Coincidence Showerea Upon
Mrs. Windom-An Social Events a the
Capital indefinitely Postponed.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-The national
capital is bathed in tears, swathed in
black and decorated with flags at half
mast in token of its grief at the death Of
Secretary Window. All day expressions
of the profoundest regret have been
heard in the circles which have for so
many years been honored by the pres.
ence of the distinguished statesman.
On the arrival of the remains here the
casket was tenderly carried into the
drawing room of the late Secretary's
residence, and after the procession had
dispersed Mrs. Window and her two
daughters were left alone with their dead.
Mrs. WINDOWS grief burst forth afresh
as she looked upon her husbands body,
and so overwhelmed was she that she
had to be led from the room.
The President and the members of the
Cabinet and their wives called on Mrs.
Window this morning and found her far
more resigned than at any time since
the terrible news was broken to her. She
arose after a sorrowful, sleepless night
to find many friends awaiting her in the
drawing room, while hundreds of mes
sages of sympathy are showered upon
her. Misses Nellie and Florence Window
were particularly brave in their bereave-
ment and do much to comfort their
stricken mother.
The only son, Mr.. VIM. D. Window, is
travelling in the South, and is expected
to reach home tonight. Mrs. Window 8
sister, Mrs. John Douglass, living at
Minneapolis, has been heard from, and
will arrive here with her husband Sun
day evening. Mr.. George Hatch of Bos-
ton, her only brother, will probably ar
rive here tonight. Mr.. Window 8
nearest relatives now living are the
widow and three sons of a brother, who
live at Sterling, Ill.

The trouble all arises from the great
wheat blockades on the lines between

LONDON. Nov. 24.-There was com
menced and finished at the Old Bailey

Capt. Anderson" and as Charles

a well known American criminal. There
we've number OF charges piled up against
the French Colonel" but the one which
he was placed on trial Tor was that of
threatening t" murder Lady edsel and
the Baroness Bolsover
In the opening remarks OF the counsel

the prisoner in addition to having

ed the Demands for His Resix-
nation, but Changed His Mind.
LONDON, Nov. 24.-A Rio De Janiero
dispatch says: Fonseca has resigned in
favor of Coriana Peixotte, the vice
president. Rio is in a state of great ex-
citcment and business is suspended, but
no serious trouble is reported.
LONDON, Nov. pa dispatch from
Montevideo says that Fonseca has in
dignanty rejected the demand OF the Rio
Grande Junta for his resignation, and
stated that he would use all the means
at his command to bring those whom he
calls rebels to obedience. In addition to
the large force already sent to attack
the troops of the Tunta, Fonseca is offer
ing large bounty and liberal pay for
recruits. These are not hard to get
among the large floating population of
Rio Tanciro, which includes many desper-
ate characters from all parts of the
world.
These are coming forward to take SER
vice in Fonseca's army. Great indiGna-
ton has been aroused in Rio Grande at
the prospect of having these mercenaries
turned loose upon the people, should
Fonseca prove victorious, and the consc-
quence is great stimulus to the volun-
tary recruiting for the Junta. For the
present the policy OF the Junta will prob
ably be one of defence. The Iunta has,
however, given it to be distinctly under
stood that they are in arms for the liber-
ties of Brazil as whole and not for Rio
Grande alone, and this announcement
has served to strengthen and stimulate
the republican movement in other prov
inces where the prospect OF secession OF
Rio Grande had chilling effect.
In Rio Grande itself the Junta has not
yet fully established its authority. A
considerable proportion of the national
guard assembled at San Francisco dc
Paula is still in doubt, the men being
generally inclined to the revolution. but
the officers holding out for Folseca.
The Tunta is confident that no armed
conflict will be necessary to bring this
large body, nearly twelve thousand in
number, over to the side of the rcvolu-
ton.
The prevailing impression, however, III
Rio Grande is that Fonsccas ambition
is wholly personal; that he cares no more
for Dom Pedro than for the congress
which he has dissolved. and that his real
object is to establish personal rue sim
liar to that which Francla aud Lopc2
exercised i'll Paraguay. 1t is this i'm
preston winch strengthens the Junta,
not in Rio Grandc alone but in other
provinces of Brazil.
