NEW YORK. Dec 25.-The Herald's Bahai,

here that the government forces available
for actual service having been allowed to
suffer serious depletions from one cause and
another. President Peixoto has now deter
mined to raise the strength Of the national
guard at once to a high standard in several

Accordingly he has issued an order that
drafts shall Immediately be made for that
purpose, of slightly more than 1900 men
in each of the following provinces: Para,
Paria, San PaulO, Parahiba and Pernam-
buco. The last named has registered q

The Herald's Rio Janeiro correspondent
teiegraphs that Gen. Telles. who had one of
his legs shot off recently by the insurgents,
during an attack upon Governors Island,
died yesterday.

vessels in Rio harbor all the protection they

THE NORFOLK AND WESTERN
Said to be Negotiating for Purchase of a
Railroad,
The Plan Being to Get an Entrance
Into This City-Report Not Be-
lieved I'm Georgetown.

The Norfolk and Western railroad Is said
to be negotiating with the Rismond and
Danville road for the purchase of the
Washington and Ohio road, in order to
utilize its track franchises in getting into
this city. The Norfilk and Western Com
pany owns the Shenandoah Valley rail-
road. and could easily make connection with
the Washington and Ohio and Washington
and Round Hill roads. Such a connection
would give them entry into Washington,
a connection that would be of undoubted
value to them. A bill giving the Norfolk
and Western road terminal franchises in
Georgetown was introduced in the Fifty
second Congress. but has never been
adopted. The road has also endeavored to
secure entrance to Washington by way of
a bridge across the Potomac river at Three
Sisters. The result OF the present deal will
be watched here with interest

SOME UNEAsINESS.

Over Nomination. That Were Expect
ed, but Did Not COme--Mr. LAWYERS
Case.
There are a good many statesmen with
bruised feelings on account Of the failure
of President Cleveland to send in to the
Senate a number of nominations. which were
expected Monday. before the adjournment
for the recess. There are several Illinois.
Indiana and other appointments, which 1t
was announced would be sent in Monday.
and the adjournment was delayed to give
time for them to arrive. but when MIR.
Pruden came with nominations they were
only a lot Of postmasters. and those ex-
pected never came. The Illinois people
were particularly uneasy and disappointed.
since a great deal was involved for them
To Placate LAWYERS Friends.
They had been working on the friends Of
Mr. Lawler who was turned down for post
master of Chicago to prevent their taking
revenge upon Hopkins, the candidate Tor
mayor, who was said to be Chiefly instru-
mental In preventing Lawler from being
made postmaster. 1t was arranged that
Lawler should be made marshal in Illinois
as a move to placate his friends. and that
the nomination was to be sent in last Mon
day was given out in advance alleged TO
that the placating influence should have q
chance to take effect before the election for
mayor. The nomination did not come. how
ever. Hopkins got the votes for mayor, but
Lawler did not get the marshalShip.
Uneasiness Over the Future.
The reason for the failure of Mr.. Cleve-
land to carry the purposes which the III
nois people understood him to hold Is OBJ
scure, and there Is great deal OF uneasi-
ness The fact. however, that other nomi-
nations. which there was equal reason for
expecting failed to come. indicates that the
reason did not apply to that case in par
ticular. That case. though. was particularly
embarrassing. as it opens the way to a
suspicion that some one was trining with
the feelings of Mr.. LAWYERS friends. and
that they may have been placated under
false pretenses. But 1t is believed that the
appointment will yet be made.

ORDERED TO HONOLULU.
The MOhican Being Made Ready to
Sail at Once.

Sail at Once.
NEW YORK, Dec. 25.-A special from
San Francisco says: Word was received
the United States steamer Mohican ready
for sea at once. The orders specify that
she must sail for Honolulu on Wednesday
next. the 9th instant. Preparations for
going to sea have been carried on leisurely
on the Mohican. which is now at Mare
Island, for several weeks Her bunkers
are full of coal and all her supplies are
on board. What makes this sudden sum-
mons important is that the engineer is
ordered to pile her decks full of coal in
sacks. so that she can take enough to last
until the entire voyage. Her bunkers hold
pushed she will consume a good many tons
extra, and II Is this extra supply which
will form the deck load.
1t is assumed by her officers that these
orders for immediate departure mean that
important dispatches will be received here
for forwarding by steamer If the vessel
were merely going in the usual routine Of
transfer there would be no need of the
extra supply of coal nor the hurry.
The inference is that the State Depart
ment has some new orders for Minister
Willis, which they regard as Of the first
importance.
The Australia left last Saturday, and the
next steamer doesn't start until January
IL or L. The Mohican. when forced, can
make the voyage in nine days, which would
bring her to Honolulu by January 5. AL
though today is Christmas the force at
Mare Island will be employed In coaling the
Mohican. She will come down here tomor-
row evening and start for Honolulu next
day.
