seemed to be blind walking along
without any one to lead him. He
went very slowly, feeling with bis

"He's walking straight to the
highest part Of the cnrtstone,' said
to myself. "And it's very hi2b,
too; | wonder II some one won't tell
him, and start him in the right

just then Il boy. about fourteen

The old man, put his hand through

lead you across the street" By
this time there were three or four
others wstchlng the boy. He DOT

tut led him over another to tie

ran back to his play.

Blaine acknowledged the receipt of Minis
ter Stevens letter of March, 1892 concern
ing the Wilcox conspiracy. There is, how
ever, nothing on file to show that Mr.

ing letters are met with the response,
"Wait until the Correspondence goes to

The officials disclaim all responsibility for
the published insinuation that important

Arrangements have been completed for

carried out unless something interferes in
the meantime. The Senate and House reso-

RAINING SHOT AND SHELL AT RIO.
Bombardment Opened as the Theaters
Were Dismis Used.


NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-The Herald's Bue-
nos Ayres cable says: The Herald's CORES
pondent in Rio Janeiro sends word that on
the night Of December 10 the city was
thrown into a panic by storm of shot and
shell which lasted for fifty minutes.
The missiles came from the rifles and
rapid-flring guns on Cobras Island. and fell
all over the city. but especially in Canoca,
Tavadrila and Travessa streets. and on
other points where the theaters are situated.
The play houses were just being emptied Of
their throngs OF patrons, and the effect was
tremendous.
Scared women fled shrieking to shelter.
Runaway carriage horses dashed among the
pedestrians and. above all. the the scream
ing of shells. the whizzing of bullets and
the rattling Of rifles caused great confusion.
This was the result of an attack made
from the shore upon the island by Peixoto's s

water front were much damaged by the
leaden shower, but the number of casualties
Is unknown.
II is stated that the attacking froce OF
Pexoto men suffered heavy losses, as did
also the island garrison, but accurate figures
could not be procured.
A quiet Belgian was arrested in Carson 8

TO the rebels on Cobras Island. He is still
a prisoner. The usual firing between the
rorts and Nictheroy is not allowed to flag.

ing November.

Major Davis, corps of engineers, in his
report to the chief of engineers Of opera
tions for the improvement of the Potomac
river during the month of November. says
that dredging in the Washington channel
under the contract with the San Francisco
Bridge Company has progressed satisfactor-
lily during the entire month with but few
delays. The dredge works well and makes
a channel OF uniform depth. The navigation
channel has been redredged TO a width of
400 feet AMI depth Of 70 feet at low tide
for a distance of 500 feet below the River
View wharf. The amount of dredging dur
ing November was 6O,539 cubic yards, all of
which was deposited on section Ill.
Building the Sen Wall.
The construction of the sea wall was con-
tinued throughout the entire month, the low
tides resulting from northwest winds being
favorable to the work. The wall on the
Virginia channel front OF section III was
completed up to the Long bridge, $50 linear
feet having been built at this locality. work
was then resumed on the wall on the Wash
ington channel front OF section III and $50
linear feet built there, thus making a total
for the month OF loo linear feet The
gravel and earth filling behind the Virginia
channel wall has been continued. During
the month SOS cubic yards of building stone
and 253 yards of gravel were received for
the wall. The construction of the training
dixie was continued and 253 bubic yards of
rip-rap stone were purchased and put In
place. The probable operations for Decem-
Der include dredging in the Washington
channel and continuing the construction OF

ed by the owners after the usual notice the
wreck of the steamer w. W. Colt, in the

NEW ENGLAND DEPENDED.
Congressman MOrse's Reply to the At
tack of Delegate Rawlins of Utah.

Congressman Morse of Massachusetts re-
piled to the attack of Delegate Rawlins Of
Utah upon the Puritans and Pilgrims Of
New England in the House yesterday as
follows:
The gentleman from Utah charged in his
reply to my speech-first, that polygamy
was established in Utah by natives of New
England, that it was a legitimate outgrowth
of Puritansm; and. second, he further
charged the colony of Massachusetts, had
executed persons convicted of witchcraft
by burning.
Where did the gentleman from Utah get
that? Perhaps he read it in the Mormon
bible. l recommend to the gentleman from
Utah that he get and read a reliable history
of Massachusetts, and New England, and l
would suggest for starter a kindergarten
edition.
That Mormonism is a legitimate out
growth of the stern virtues of the men who
settled New England, OF the men who
crossed trackless ocean and who there
dared the dangers of the wild beasts and
hostile Indians to establish place where
they might worship God according to the
dictates Of their consciences. men ana wo-
men who knew no fear but the fear of God
] say such a charge against the early set
tiers of New England Is the foulest slander
that ever was uttered, and he Is the one
VINO should nang his hea0 III Sna1le.
Now. in reply to the gentleman's charge
that Massachusetts, burned witches / have
to say that a lie we'll stuck to Is not as
good as the truth, and I affirm and chal-
fenge contradiction when I say that no
witch was ever burned In the colony or COM
monwealth of Massachusetts.
In the matter Of the witchcraft delusfon
the people Of Massachusetts colony shared
the delusion that extended over the civilized
world at that date: at that time thousands
were executed in every European country
for witchcraft and the letters which came
to the colonies from their friends in the
mother country were filled with accounts
Of these trials and executions and II Is no
wonder that the delusion should have af-
fected them.
To the honor OF Massachusetts be It said
that she was one OF the first civilized coun-
tries to reDudiate and denounce the de-
lrsion and to confess IN sorrow and repent
of her mistakes Of the past.

CONFLICTING REPORTS.
Both Sides Confident of Ultimate Sue
cess In Brazil.

Advices have been received In official
circles here which are taken by some to in
dicate that the Brazilian governments
chances for final victory are growing less
every day, and that Admiral Mello will
overthrow Peixoto. Official advices tell of
the movement of a large land force, under
an insurgent general, bent on capturing
Rio Janeiro. These statements are con-
frmatory Of the press dispatch from Lis
bon that Gen. Gomericin de Saraiwa, an
insurgent leader. had started northward
from Rio Grande de Sui with 5000 men.
Minister Mendonca continues to speak
cheerfully and confidently of the ultimate
success Of the governments forces.
You see,' says he, "Da Gama's high
sounding proclamation and the telegram Of
Ruy Barbesa are more than offset by the
statement from Montevideo that the legis-
latures of the states of Minas, Garaes.
Pernambuco, San Paulo, Parana, Santa
Catharina and Rio Grande de Sui have all
passed resolutions complimenting Peixoto's
conduct of the fight. These are the states
which have been reported to be weakening
in their allegiance to the established gov
ernment."
Blockading Rio.
Regarding the report that Mello's ships
are blockading the harbors of Rio and San
with the two ships under his command. the
Aquidaban and the Republica, Mello might
for a time maintain a comparatively eff
cient blockade, and that, If long continued,
a very serious condition OF things would
ensue. The minister was asked how soon it
was probable the ships that are being
gathered by the Peixoto government would
rendezvous on the coast and engage Mellos
ships in battle.
II sent instructions today" answered the
minister, for the Destroyer which is being
towed to South America, to join the Ameri-
ca, and by Monday at the furthest they will
be able to proceed together to Brazil. In
addition to these two ships, there are the
Nictheroy, already in Brazilian port, and
the three small torpedo boats, which have
sailed from the United States. Then the
Armstrong works in England have fitted
out the Aurora, protected torpedo cruiser,
which cost $500. CO., and five smaller torpedo
boats are coming from Germany. When
these get together We shall have force of
twelve vessels with which to engage the
AQuidaban and the Republica."

COLD WAVE COMING.
A Fall in the Temperature Of Twenty
Degrees or More Tomorrow,

There is another cold wave coming That
Is the prediction Of the weather bureau.
warning was sent out all through the
country today notifying observers to hoist
the cold wave flag. BY tomorrow at y
O'Clock there will be fall in the tempera-
ture of twenty degrees. The warning adds
that the fall will be twenty degrees or more,
SO that those who really like arctic weather
can comfort themselves with the thought
that while it is certainly going to be twenty
degrees colder tomorrow morning than II is
today, there is the pleasing possibility that
II may be still colder. The weather officials
do not state whether II will be too cold to
go to church or not.
