FIRST GLASS SCANDAL.

In Which Prominent Young Non Arc In
volved- Exeter Academy Students to be
Expelled.
EXETER, N. H., Dec. 18.-Exeter Acad-
emy is believed to be on the eve of one
of the greatest sensations in its history,
and it is expected that within the next
forty-eight hours the names of the
young men who posted cuts of ballet
girls on the walls OF the recitation halls
lew days ago will be public.
1t was alleged that the work was done
by outsiders, but it is now learned that
six well known students were response
BILE. All the young men are members
OF very prominent families in different
parts OF the country, and the announce
ment OF their names is sure to create an
uproaf. The boys obtained the litho-
graphs from local bill poster and 1t is
said that in this way they were discov-
cred.
Tho manager OF the Exeter opera
house, whom it was claimed was re-
sponsible for the unusual decoration OF
the school, has the names OF the young
mon, and has told them that he will
give the list to the faculty! 1t is said
that he has been offered $500 to sup
press them, and, refusing, the young
men implicated have threatened re-
venge. All of the young men will un-
doubtedly be expelled and perhaps
prosecuted. A special meeting of the
trustees OF the academy is to be held
tomorrow.

Probability That the President VIII Not

TorrIto,t.s

Probability That the President VIII Not
Approve tho Admission of the ThroO
Territories.
WASHINGTON, D. G., Dec. 17.-There
is already considerable interest mani
tested as to what will be the course OF
the senate with reference to the terri
torial bills which are coming from the
house of representatives. Tho senate
territorial committee had not held n
meeting during the present Congress,
or since the committee was reorSani2ed
by the Democrats, and there has con-
sequently been no formal expression Of
opinion on the part OF members upon
the question OF the admission Of the
new states. Inquiry develops the fact
that the committee will probably not
take up any of the bills for serious con-
sideration prior to the Christmas holi-
days.
The admission of Utah, Arizona, New
Mexico and Oklahoma would result in
seating eight new senators, all of whom
would probably be silver men. It's as
serted that the President has been con-
sidering this pointand fears are already
expressed that ii the bills pass the sem
ate some OF them may be vetoed to him.

BOWLING BOYS BEGIN

Their Championship SOrIes Tonight,
Other Games This Week.
The first championship season Of the
Wheeling Bowling League opens this
evening at the Wheeling Park alleys be-
tween the teams OF the Wheeling Ath-
letic Wheelmen and the Calumet club,
and will no doubt be witnessed by a
large crowd. The followers of both
teams are confident their favorites will
win, and an exciting contest will no
doubt result. The wheelmen are mot
considered as strong as their oppo-
nents, but they may surprise Al few
people.
Tomorrow evening there will be no
game, but the South Side club will
practice on Seibert's alleys, preparatory
to their contest there Thursday night
with the Columbia team. Both these
are very strong. The Wheeling Bowl
ing club and The Bowlers bowl Wednes-
day evening at theWheeling Park; both
these teams are likely aspirants for
championship honors. The makeup Of
the Wheeling Bowling club team 10 as
follows: Fred Happy, Max Hess, L 3.
stifel, w. @. stifel, 3. Hirnch, H. B.
Grimm, l. Singleton, W. Il. thinner,
Charles Schmidt and Paul o. Reymann.
Next Saturday evening the entire
"press gang" will be out at seibert's to
see the games between the INTELIIoER-
GER aud Press Club teams. These two
are the intensest of rivals. AS NOM
Der OF the latter team puts it: "If We
get seventh place and the 1ETEII1aRN-
GER is last we will be satisfied"

LONDON, Dec. 1.-THE Times to-mor-
row will publish dispatch from Rio
De Janeiro dated December 8, via
Montevideo December 10, saying:
"Tho manifesto of Admiral De Cana
(the insurgent admiral in command at
Rio De Janeiro during the absence OF
Admiral De Mello) has produced excite
ment and greatly increses the popu-
larity OF the revolution. A messenger
who has returned from Sac Paulo and
Santos states that the monarchist ele-
ment predominates everywhere. The
people are prepared to follow the lead
OF Admiral De Cana.
fernando Lobo, minister Of justice
and OF the interior, resigned yesterday
in consequence of divergence of opin-
lon with President Peixoto concerning
present events. This shows that the
position OF President Pelxoto is weak
ening.
Several officers, during the past week,
have been arrested on suspicion OF com
plicity in the revolution. The govern
ment has suspended the Rio NetcS an
English newspaper whose editor is an
American.
During the past week there has been
some slight skirmishes in the vicinity
of Nictheroy and Armaco with small
casualties. The fire OF the forts upon
Villegaignon continues daily, without
apparent alteration OF the situation.
Wednesday night / visited Fort VII
legaignon. in an insurgent launch.
When we passed between Cobras island
and Fort Villegaignon the troops lining
the shore opened heavy rifle fire and
Fort Villegagnon replied briskly, kill
ing and wounding a hundred soldiers.
I found the fortress TO be much dam
aged; all the buildings are in ruins and
the masonry OF the centre, towards the
mouth, is much cut away in conse-
quence OF the Smelling it has received
from the government forts.
On Saturday night 1,500 govern
ment troops lining the shore near
the war and marine arsenals
opened a heavy fire from machine
guns and rifles upon Cobras Island for
the purpose of covering the advance Of
storming parties. Cobras Island re-
piled strongly, causing the troops to
abandon the attempt after two
hours heavy firing, the government
losing over a hundred men and the in
surgents having only two wounded.
Tomorrow the insurgents intend
keeping up continuous fire upon the
custom house and thus preventing all
future business. Admiral De Mello
wired on Saturday, asking Admiral D
Cana to send him another transport to
carry troops. Many important business
houses propose closing their doors to-
morrow until the end OF the revolution,
as they consider that the present situa-
ton is too dangerous. The British
minister has notified tho community
that much danger exists at the present
time and advising residents to leave the
city. Many people consider that the
time has arrived for tho recognition Of
the belligerent status of the insurgents.
