the following dispatch from Rio De
Janeiro, dated November IS, via Mon

Heavy artillery fire continues daily.
Forts Vilegagnon and Lage have been
greatly battered. A heavy gun at Fort
San Joao was struck by rebel shot
and dlsmounted. During the lombard
ing Of Saturday q shell burst at Fort
Lage, killing
AN OFFICER AND SEVENTEEN MEN.
Parts of the city, owing to the fusi-
lade of rifles and machine guns, are in
peril. There have been many casual
ties in the streets. The foreign dlplo-
mats consider it impossible to take fur
ther steps for the protection Of life and
property and the naval commanders
concur in the general opinion which ia
vors letting both sides proceed without
any further interference.
Admiral De Mello is inclined to bonn
bard the city after forty-eight hours
notice. Admiral Cana, who recently
JOINED THE INSURGENTS,
confirms the telegram of last week, say
ing that De Mello is disposed TO wait un-
til the end of the revolution, and then
take ID plebiscite of the country on the
question of monarchy.
The insurgents are confident OF sue
cess; they have captured Bage, in the
province OF Rio Grande Do Sui, and are
making progress nortbward.
President PeiXoto is preparing for
A STUBBORN DEFENSE
OF Rio De Janeiro, and states that he
intends lighting to the last, and that
when his ships arrive he expects vic

All business is suffering severely and
every branch is stagnated. The finan-
cial position of the government is diff

the fact that Pernambuco has been de-
clared in a state of siege shows the
spread of the movement.

CHICAGO, November e9.-The Ives
Schaefer billiard contest was hard
fought aud well played tonight. The
redoubtable Schaefer was for this time
invincible. Anything seemed possible
to him and he passed his own worlds
record OF 22O for single run. He
made 343 before he went out on
difficult cushion bank shot 30 the
corner from long range. Never before
was there such excitement at billiard
match; never before such remarkable
playing In one inning as Schaefer did.
Manager Park announced before play
began that the game would continue
th,s evening until either man had six
teen hundred points up. Four thous-
and IL the total number TO be
PLAYED IN FIVE NIGHTS.
1t was In the fourth inning that
something happened. That was Shae-
fer's big run, but the way he got the
balls together was the amazing thing
abaut IL. Ives had left all three Of the
balls well on towards the centre OF
the table. When Schaefer had scored
eight billiards he had then anchored,
and there he held them until he ran
hundred after hundred without getting
them over the line. Twice towards the
end he got them broken and inside the
balk, but he drove out and nursed them
back again to the anchor. He was then
past three hundred, aud II seemed as II
nothing stood In the way OF
THREE HUNDRED MORE.
But they broke sooner this time aud az
ter nursing them the length Of the table
he failed to count on 4 shot that was
five TO one against him.
At the close Of play in the billiard
tournament tonight the score stood:
Schaefer, 1000; Ives, 1873.

which Had It's Origin in an Accident.
The report was circulated on the
South Side last night, that Daniel Bern
hardt. a well known empioye OF the
La Belle mill, living on South Wood
street, had tried to drown himself. An
investigation proved that the report
was untrue. Louis Hsnke, Edward
Kline, Chas. Gayhart and Mr. Barn
hardt were along the river bank near
Forty-third street, yesterday morning.
They decided TO clear the stones away
from the waters edge that their
seins might be landed easily when the
time came. They started along the
river bank on q run, with Mr.. Bernbart
last. Evidently this gentleman took q
fit, for when the men in front Of him
looked back they saw him lying In the
water as II dead. They FASTENED to his
relief. and lifted the PROSTATE man, who
was unconscious, from the water. His
head had struck against clnder top.
and the side of his face was badly cut.
The injury was dressed and the man
revived. Mr. Bernhart was then able
70 go home. and late last evening was
able 70 be about again.

PITTsBURG, November 22.-ADother
steel rail pool has been formed more
strongly fortified than the one that
wound up its career recently.
The second pool was organized in
New York within the past few days at
a meeting of the heads of five big con-
Germs. They are the Carnegie Steel
Company, the Illinois Steel Company,
the Bethlehem Steel Company,
the Cambria Iron and Steel
Company and the Lackawanna
Iron and Steel Company. These con-
Germs have leased the big new steel
plant Of the Pennsylvania Steel Com
pany at Sparrow's Point, Md, and by
this strokehave shut out any possible
competition. The new pool has gone
ahead of the methods of the old one by
fixing the price OF steel rails at S24 a

senator navi. Prntests.

ST. PAUL, Novem Der %, u. S. Sena-
tor Davis, a member of the Senate COM
mittee on foreign relations in an inter-
view on the Hawaiian question, aald
last night: ''The whole business has
been conducted with deal OF mystery
by the present administration. 1t Is
only within day or two that the public
have been allowed to know what Mr..
Blount did or reported, and does not
vet know what Mr.. Willis instructions
were or what he has done. If the sur
mise is correct that Mr.. Willis has been
commissioned to interfere with the con-
Germs of Hawaii to such an extent as TO
change the form of government and re-
instate the Queen, 1t is interference
with the affairs OF an independent ma
tion without the least shadow OF war
rant of any principle OF international
law. This is the more so because the
new government in Hawaii had been
recognized by the Harrison administra-
tion and was also distinctly recognized
bv President Cleveland when he COM
missioned Mr.. Willis as Minister, ac-
crediting him to President Dole, and to
whom Mr.. Willis presented his creden-
tials and from whom he received recog-
milton as Minister As TO the report
that United States naval forces will be
used to depose the provisional govern
ment, the Senator believed such an act
would constitute an act OF war by
this government upon Hawaii" Such
an act by the President without the
authority of Congress would be a dis
tiuct usurpation OF power. The Presi-
dent has 30 more power to declare war
than has the Governor of Minnesota.
TIE constitution provides that Congress
only has power to declare war. Sena-
tor Davis speaks strongly in favor of
the annexation Of the Hawaiian islands.
