ment and delegations appointed TO lay

committee on commerce has decided 70
recommend the adoption OF Almost lib
eral policy for the improvement Of the
Mississippi river.
Various propositions connected with
the Improvement Of the river was be-
fore the committee, but after thor
ough consideration of the subject It
was decided that the bill recently In
troduced by Senator Gibson, OF Louisi-
ana, was better adapted to secure sat-
isiactory results than any other. The
feature of this measure Is the division
OF the responsibility for the work OF
Improvement between the chief of en-.
gineers and the Mississippi river COM
mission. The original bill proposed an
appropriation of $40. O0O. 900 to carry
out its purposes, but the committee re-
duced this sum to SIS. 0O0, 900 and made
q few changes In other respects to
make the bill conform to this reduction.
AS It will be reported to the senate
the bill makes IN appropriation OF Sl5,-
OOO,0O for the improvement Of the
Mississippi river, whereof $40, 900
shall be expended under the direction
of the secretary OF war in accordance
with such plans OF the Mississippi river
commission as may be approved by the
chief of engineers to build, repair and
extend the levees, dykes and other
works on the river from the passes to
the mouth of the Ohio and for the pay
ment of the salaries and expenses OF
the commission. There Is proviso
that not more than s., OOO.OOO of this
appropriation shall be expended in any
one year; that it shall not be expended
longer than the state and local author
tiles continue their present contribu-
lions for levee improvements, and that
none shall be used for purchase OF sites
for levees or for payment Of damages
for their construction.
The second section Of the bill pro-
vides that IS, 600. 600 of the total appro-
priation OF Sl5.0O0,00 shall be ex-
pended by the secretary Of war on the
same section of the river, in accord
ance with the plans of the chief OF en-
gineers, the yearly allotment not to
exceed 81, 100000 The bill, as will be
noted, commits congress to levee

adopted by the unanimous vote OF the
committee and was reported to the
senate by Senator Gibson, its author.

THREE DEAD.

A Kansas Family Found Dead In Their
Humble Home-SOmewhRt of MyHtery.
HoPE, Kan, Feb. 15.-Henry Butler
and his wife and aged mother, living
in humble home in Marion county,
have beyond doubt been murdered by
unknown persons who will probably
never be captured.
Last Saturday Butler. German
farmer 60 years of age and his wife
and aged mother were seen Mt work,
but after that day no one noticed them.
Saturday the little girl Of neighbor
was sent to the house on an errand,
and, finding the front door locked and
receiving no response to knocks, peeped
in at the window and saw three persons
on two beds, apparently dead. She
gave the alarm and the neighbors ut
once congregated at the house, broke
open the door and made q ghastly find.
The two women were not only dead,
but in an advanced stage Of decompo-
sition. The man was still alive, but
unconscious and lived but few hours
after being taken out
A jury was impaneled and after an
investigation it was decided that the
deaths resulted from asphy xiation from
coal gas
In the room was a cooking stove.
from which two lids had been lifted.
There was evidently premeditated
arrangement of the house, as every
thing was closed tight and the old peo-'
ple were found in their beds
The latest theory in regard to the
mystery is that Butler, when his wife
and mother were asleep. himself took
the lids of the stove and then went to
sleep himself, hoping thnt the coal gas
would prevent him from ever waking
again. This is supported by the fact
that the house doors were all locked
and the windows fastened. They may
have been destitute and Butler desper-
ate in consequence.

in Revolt.

NEW YORK, March l9.-Cable advices
Iell of hard fighting near VeneZuela's
capitol, between revolutioniStS and
government troops. So far as can be
learned now, the advantage rests with
the government, but the fear is geuer-
ally expressed that this is but the
beginning of long and desperate
fight for the control of the country
which may result in the loss of a great
many lives and again plunge the repub-
lie into the chaos from which it was
Just beginning to emerge. Particulars
of Yesterdays battle are meagre as yet,
and it was impossible to tell the num-
Der of men engaged or the casualties.
I'm fact the only reliable news is that
the revolLtIonists were forced to retire.
1t has been an open secret that fight
would follow the elections, no matter
what the result might be, and for
mouths both parties have been Drepar-
ing for it. President Palacio has used
every possible means to retain power
and to strengthen his position,
while his opponents have also
been busily engaged in recruiting
and arming themselves in anticipation
of the final struggle. The national
election was TO have been held Feb. 10,
but the president saw fit TO postpone 1t
until Feb. 90, and before that date came
O further pOSiponement was made.
These poStpOnementS were made, 1t
is generally thought, because the gov
eminent forces were not in proper
fighting trim. Ii is said that eXPresi-
dent GuZmau BlancO is at the back of
the revolutionary movement and that
1T has considerable strength throughout
the country. His followers have
for several years past been
actively engaged in plotting the over
throw of the present government and
the restoration of the dictator. They
are well supplied with arms and money
and can make a had fight. President
iPalacio appears confident that order
will be soon restored, but this conf
dence is not shared by many well-in-
formed residents of the capitol, the stu
alton being set down as critical.
WASHINGTON. March 19.-The revo-
Tuition reported in Venezuela attracts
IEuch interest in official circles, for
neither the state nor navy department
has been apprised of it. Admiral Cher
ardi'S squadron in the West Indies is
closest to the scene, but as the squadron
will go to Key West, Fla. y for target
practice, it is not probable that either of
his vessels will be ordered to Venezeula
to protect American interests in that
country. IL is thought that Admiral
walker, at Buenos Ayres, will be Or
dered to send one OF the vessels of his
squadron TO Nenezeula.

"A Governor Deposed and Many
People Killed.

+ People Killed.
Rio DE JANEIR0, Brazil, Feb. N.-
Gen. Clarindo de Querroz, governor of
Ceara, has at last been deposed. Some
DAYS ago the general government, i'll
conformity with the suggestion of
The commander of the second military
district, and with that of the directors
of the Corea Military school. gave Or
ders for removing the Eleventh battal-
AOn of infantry from the capital to Ma
ranguape, which is about eighteen
miles distant. AS soon as the battalion
left the city the governors enemies re-
solved to attack him. The cadets of the
military school formed the principal
nucleus of the inSurgent forces. They
were aided by armed civilians, and it
seems that the artillery belonging to the
garrison and the marines of a gunboat
also took part against the governor,
who entrenched himself It his official
residence with his police force and 200
men who had been brought from the
interior by two prominent politicians.
The fight commenced at about 6
o'clock D. m. with skirmish between
the cadets and the mounted police. The
latter were driven back, and the III
surgents then marched Oh the official
residence of the governor, which at the
same time was bombarded by the
artillery. The fighting was kept up
all night, and on the nth of NJ arch
at a. M. the government capitulated.
The number killed on both sides is esti-
mated at thirty-fve. In many parts OF
Brazil the news of the commandment of
the governors residence and neighbour
ing houses has caused very bad
impression. The municipal govern
ment Of Ouro Preto Capitol Of
sNinas Geraez) has placed in
record protest against the acts as bar
barous and unworthy of civilized peo-
pie. Many persons are expecting at any
moment a revolutionary outbreak in
this city, and the government also seems
to expect it, for both the land and the
sea forces are held in readiness during
o great part Of the time.

MOZAMBIQUE, March 19.-An alarm
Ing condition of affairs prevails at Quit

Quitimane river. There have of late
been several revolts against Portuguese
authority among the natives on the
Zambesi. A short time ago the native
soldiers attached 10 an expedition under
command of Lieut.. Continho rtvolted
and pillaged the country and all traders
who fell into their hands. The natives
continued TO gain strength and formally
determined 10 make an attack in Quit
name itself. A force numbering 5000
natives now surrounds the town, and an
attack is momentarily expected.
The authorities at Quitimane have
armed all the able bodied men in the
town, and are prepared to make des-
perate resistance against the attempt to
capture the place. AS soon as the
news of the condition of affairs reached
Mozambique, a Portuguese gunboat with
100 soldiers on board was dispatched to

TO BE ENJOINED.
Worlds Fair sunday Opening to
Go to the Courts.


Go to the Courts.
CHICAGO, Dec. 1S.-Ihe Sunday open
ing question Will shortly be dragged
into the courts. An application has
been made for an injunction restrain
ing the worlds fair directors from
closing the gates on Sunday,
and Judge Tuley will hear ar
gument on the matter on Jan. 3.
The application is based on the as
sumption that jackson park is public
property, place of resort owned by the
whole people. The park commission
erS. it is alleged, hold. this property
in trust for the people, and have
no authority to debar the public from
further alleged that since they
have not the right to bar out the people.
they have not the right to delegate to
any other body the right to close the
grounds on Sunday. 1t is claimed that,
under the charter. citizens and taxpayers
have the right to visit Jackson park on
any day in the year without paying for
admission, In the application for the
injunction the question of charging for
admission is formally waived. 1t is set
forth that in a few months the EXPOSE
ton is to open its gates, and that 1t Is
the intention OF the management, acting
under assumed authority conferred by
congress, to close the gates on the Sab
bath. Therefore, the court is asked to
enioin the commissioners and all others
holding pretended authority from pur-
suing such a course. The movement
for an Injunction is backed by prOmi-
nent and wealthy business men.
