REVOLT SPREADING

The Governor of Rio Grande do Su1 Calls
 Upon Fonseca for Aid The Whole Prov
 ince Occupied by the Insurgents-All
 Telegrams Suppressed in Rio Janeiro
 and the Residents of that City Kept in
 Ignorance of Events.
 VALPARAISO, Chilli, Nov. 12. It is re- ported here that 8 number of mem bers of the Brazilian Congress which Dictator Fonseca recently dissolved have sought an asylum in the different foreign lega- tions in Rio Janeiro.
 Uruguay has become alarmed at the state of affairs in Brazil and has massed troops along the frontier line of that country.
 A dispatch from Buenos Ayres states that on the night of Nov 9, revolt was begun in the State of Rio Grande do Sul, and that it spread rapidly. At last accounts the greater part of the State was occupied by rebels.
 General Fernandez and Santa Anna are said to be at the head of the revolu- tionists, and their ranks are reported to be receiving constant accessions.
 The garrison at Yuguaron, it is said, have joined the insurgents, and the ar. tillery has been placed at the disposal of the two generals who are in com mand.
 The Dictator's Governor in Rio Grande do Sul Castillo, deemed the revolt so serious that he asked the central gov ernment for achievements, represent ing his position as precarious
 In compliance with his request Die tator Fonseca at once. sent four gun boats, three monitors and two trans ports, loaded with troops, to the scene of the uprising. The troops will be L. HI 4 l.. l. ! Sul, Pelotas and Sac Jose do Norte, at the mouth of the Bay of Patos.
 Following upon the announcement of the garrison at Yuguaron going over to the insurgents comes word that two other garrisons have also joined the rebel forces in Rio Grande do Sul
 While all this is taking place the residents of Rio Janeiro seem to be kept in perfect ignorance of these stirring events. They believe that everything is peaceful in the Republic and that the discontent against Fonseca is not worth noticing.
 Their ignorance is owing to the fact that the government is suppressing all telegrams that describe the true situa- tion of affairs in the State of Rio Grande do Sul
 The chiefs of the revolution are said to be Visconde Pelotas, Baron Jijuk and Generals Astropillo and Fravares Their object seems to be to form a national party in opposition to the Dictator. This party is to be made up of both liberals and conservatives.

WE publish to-day history of the

WE publish to-day a history of the school question which culminated Tues day night in the appointment of J. A. O'Keefe as principal of the High school
 It is plain statement of facts and any unprejudiced mind can arrive at but one conclusion-that the democratic members followed the only honorable course open to them. Mir O'Keefe, a stranger to the members of the board, was recommended for u e pos ton by a Protestant. Every member of the board admitted that he was a man of superior attainments, yet three refused to vote for him, ostensibly because he was under cloud, but really, at least so far as Mir Henderson was concerned, be- cause he is a Catholic. Thus the issue was raised by the republican members and, as we have said, the only honor able course open to the democrats was to stand by the man against whom the others discriminated. We ask for MT O'Keefe a fair and square trial He should not be hampered in any way, but should receive the full support of the board of education and the teachers associated with him. Many of the eight hundred petitioners for the appointment of Mir Hovey may be interested to know that the sub-com- mittee appointed to bring in nomlna. tions, of which Rev Mir Micou was chairman, unanimously refused to recommend MT Hovey for the position. It is amusing to hear the staid old Waterbury American speak of Roman Catholic control of schools. What diff ference does it make whether the High school principal be a Protestant or Catholic?

ALMY IS:ABBOTT.
Examination of His Person Said to Have

Examination of His Person Said to Have
 Established This.
 MANCHESTER, N. H., Nov. 12.-As the result of an examination by Drs. Conn of Concord and Perkins of this city, of the person of Frank c. Amy, the Han over murderer, it is positively asserted that the man is no other than George H. Abbott. The physicians found the scars which were left by wounds in ficted by Sheriff Berry when he shot Abbot, few years ago, while the latter was evad1ng arrest.
 It is claimed that Amy deliberately broke his leg on the occasion of his re- cent trip to Woodsville. One of the officers who accompanied him is quoted as saying that he saw him place his sound foot against the foot of the njured leg and deliberately place so much pres sure on it that he broke the splint and fractured the leg anew
 The officers are so afraid of Abbott that they have prevailed upon Attorney General Barnard to request that a guard be placed over him night and day, be- ginning tonight, until his removal next Tuesday to Plymouth for trial.
 Abbott is in prime physical condition, aside from his legs, and his mind is as active and sound as his body. He talks freely about the murder, but no inkling escapes him that he is anything or any body but Frank c. Amy.

Arrest of the Murderers of

DISCOVERED BY AN ACCIDENT.
One of the Mems Wives, in Jealous Rage
 Reveals the Story.

Great Rejoicing Over the Capture Among
 Lives-The Murder Was Particularly
 Atrocious One-Ki1led the Inoffensive
 Old Men With Clubs to Obtain Their
 Money.
 W1LKEsBARRE, Pa., Nov. 12.-Henry Higgins and Joseph Eveland, together with their wives, were arrested yesterday afternoon, charged with the murder of the two old farmers named Hester, which occurred in 1886. The prisoners were lodged in jail They were visited by re- porters and others, but absolutely re- fused to talk of the murder or their arrest.
 The arrests are considered as a good piece of detective work. There is great rejoicing over the arrests among farmers, who have long dreaded that they might meet fate similar to the Kesters as long as the murderers were at large. Ali of the prisoners have bad reputa- tions.
 The murdered men were bachelor brothers, living in Sugar Loaf township, Luzerne County, and the crime was committed Oct. 15, 1SS6
 They worked a small farm, and were reported to be well-to-do. They seldom left their home, and the supposition was that they kept their money in tn @ house.
 The murderers made their way to the house during the night. It was raining very hard. The murderers broke in the back door. A desperate struggle then ensued.
 The brothers fought for their lives. but they were finally overpowered. The house was ransacked from top to bot tom, and whatever money was in the place the murderers got.
 neighboring farmer who had some business to transact with the Hester called the next day. He ran away from the sight that met his gaze The mur- derers had used clubs in their work
 The whole neigh borhood was arousaI A posse secured the mountains anI val ley for the murderers, but no trace of them could be found. The County Com missioners offered $1, 900 reward and the relatives of the victims offered S1,O00 more. Detectives took hand in the case, but all were unsuccessful.
 A year ago the Pinkerton men were put to york; and their labors have been rewarded. Awomau told the story of the crime. She quarreled with one of the murderers, whose mistress she was, and subsequently, fell into a trap laid by the detectives.

 All Obstacles from His Path.

All Obstacles from His Path.
 LONDON, Nov. Ut is stated that Fonseca would have little difficulty in establishing the new order of things were it not for the fact that he is sick man. Some reports have it that the di- sease from which he is suffering is can cer, which, if true, would necessarily prevent him from taking the field in per son should a resort to arms be neces- sary.
 That he will take vigorous measures to suppress these latest revolts against his authority is not doubted by those who are acquainted with the personal characteristics of the man. He in no way lacks determination, and to gain his ends he will fight desperately to sweep all obstacles from his path

The London tory press has not been so violent since the American civil war as it is now in it's assaults on the United States in connection with Chili. It seems as if a torrent of vituperation, pent up since that period, had burst through the flood gates, taking all be- fore it. People are beginning to change their minds about England not wanting a war between the United States and Chili. A leading American resident, who is frequently brought in contact with the circle at present in control of England would be pleased to see a war, so that she could strike at the United States over Chilian shoulders, and de stroy American commerce through Chllian privateers; that England, her self, would never think of an open al liance with Chill against America, but would be delighted to play the part of a secret supporter. The virulent report to the Times from Chilli, and the accom- panying comments of that paper, are generally construed by Americans as showing that the aristocratic sentiment of England is as bitterly opposed as ever to the republic; while English commer- cial centers, now dormant in South America, are anxious to retain the mastery. The tone of the English press, with honorable exceptions, has gone beyond mere carplng and sunk to the lowest abuse.

IT looks as if Grover Cleveland would lead the democratic ticket next year. But if factional differences in New York shall make it evident that no citi- zen of that state can secure unanimous support, the chances are that the nomi- nee will be sought elsewhere, as it is absolutely necessary that the man nomi- mated shall be able to carry New York state. In the event of Cleveland and Boies being elected it would be a proud day for Erie county, N. Y., which could claim the honor of having been the home of both the candidates, They both began the practice of law there. and they came very near running against each other for the office of dis trict attorney. Mir Cleveland was nom- mated for that office in 1865, and the re- publicans recognized the fact that he was strong candidate before the peo- pie. They cast about for some time for an available man to pit against him, and finally pitched on Horace Boies, then in the active practice of his pro- fession in one of the large towns outside of Buffalo. He had never been active in republican politics, although he had served single term as assemblyman at Albany. As the contest continued. Mr. Cleveland's strength became more an- parent, and another Buffalo lawyer was finally nominated for the office, and Boies emigrated to Iowa and became a good democrat.
