DONEBY A TRAITOR
Some One of the Crew of the Brazil
ian Cruiser America Disabled
the Ship.
Damages SO Serious That a Delay Of
Several Weeks For Repairs Is
Necessary.
The Nictheroy Has Proceeded to Rio
JaneirO Alone Probably an En-
gineer Did 1t.

NEW YoRK, Dec. S.-The Herald has
the following. The Brazilian cruiser
America, which sailed FROM New York
for Rio Janeiro on the night of Nov %
for the purpose of fighting the rebel
admiral Mello's warships, is lying at
Bridgetown, Barbados, SO seriously dis
abled by the act of an unknown traitor
among her crew that she will probably
be unable to continue her voyage for
several weeks.
"A cable message was received by
Flint & Co. from the West Indies an
nouncing that one of the vessels valves,
among the most vulnerable parts OF a
ships machinery, had been purposely
broken by some unknown member OF
the crew and that the vessel had thereby
been SO seriously injured that a long
delay must occur before she could
continue her voyage. In view OF
the latter fact, it was announced in
the cablegram that the cruiser Mic.
theroy, which left St. Thomas with the
America for Rio Janeiro Sunday night
had continued the voyage alone. The
traitor, it is said, did his work last Mon
day. The indications are said to poin
most strongly to the traitor being in th'
engineers division, as person who doe
not understand machinery would no
know which particular part to attack t

LUMBER AND IRON.
The Mississippi Valley Lumberman
Says the 1sade Is Exceeding
Dull.
While the Iron Trade Review Makes
a Similar Report Regarding
Iron.
Minneapolis Flour Mills Make a Bet
ter Weeks Run Than Antici-
pated.

MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. S.-The Mississippi
Valley Lumberman has the following
review of the trade for the week:
The falling off in trade in the Minnie
apolis pine land market during the past
week has been very perceptible and bus
mess is now about at its usual winter
standstill Last week was broken one
owing to Thanksgiving. and big de-.
cline in the amount of shipments were
expected, but the drop was big one and
showed that the dealers had no accumu-
lated orders to fall back on, as was the
case last year at this period. There y
no change in the character OF thc de-
mand. The orders that come in as
general thing are no larger than retail
dealer would handle i'm prosperous times
but there is no effort being made on the
part Of the wholesalers to sell lumber
at the present time, and they oil
seem perfectly content to wait for bef-
ter market in the spring. There are
very few travelling men ont on the road
now, and the present month will see
them enjoying the comforts of home.
The Tariff Feature.
The main topic of consideration just
| now Is how the new tariff. If it becomes
law, will affect the lumber situation
The general opinion seems to be thai
free lumber will have no immediate
effect on this market, but that its effec
| at lake and border points may react II
time to the disadvantage of the trade II
this section. The market is as low as i
can. be and exist and there is little fea
that it could be sent any lower by tn
prospective tariff legislation.
In Regard to Spring Trade.
In regard to the prospects for goo'
spring trade there exists much differenc
of opinion Some of the most conserve
tive men in the trade state that in thei
opinion the trade next spring will b
backward, and that the country dealer
will continue to buy from hand to mout
in the same way that they have been dC
ing for the past six months. They bas
this belief ON political reasons. Othel
are confident that the trade viii begi
early and that there will be bigger d
mand next year than ever before for til
| very reason that the time of probatio
will then have passed, and the countl
dealers will be obliged to stock up frol
: actual necessity However the case mi
be the lumbermen are curtailing the
! cut in the woods by at least one-ha
and are taking this positive course
conservative action SO as to be on Il
safe side.

The Insurance Commissio nship.

Inc insurance COmm1SS1O0Sh1p.
Governor Morris has an Insurance Com
missioner to appoint, and ex-senator
Bowers of this city has been strongly
commended for the place by those who
know his peculiar fitness for it Mr.. Bow
ers is one of the best known insurance
men in New England, and has had a long
and thorough experience in the business.
He has had much to do with legislation
concerning insurance in this State, and
has on several occasions shown superior
sagaoity and foresight in insurance mat
ters. When he was in the Senate he did
excellent work in behalf of needed and
proper supervision of insurance companies.
The Standard, the leading insurance jour
nal of New England, has this to say about
him:
Ex-senator Bowers, who is one of the
candidates for the Office of Insurance Com
missioner of the State of Connecticut, has
been actively identified with insurance
legislation in the State, and is the best
equipped of the different candidates for
the place. He was the strongest opponent
in the State Senate to the Charter Oak Life
liquidstion, when that company was tenn
porarily rescued from the hands of receiv-
ers under the Jewell regime. But it would
have been hundreds of thousands of dollars
in the pockets of policy holders had the
judgment of the ex- senator prevailed. The
legislation drifted into party lines, result
ing in the defeat of Mr.. Bowers project
The Continental Life which is now in the
hands of receivers, was placed by the SEN
ator on the same footing with the Charter
Oak Mr.. Bowers is a strong candidate
for the appointment"
Several of the Democratic papers of the
State have said good words for MI. Bowers,
and nobody questions his entire fitness for
the place, which demands a thorough
knowledge of insurance matters, accurate
| and strict business methods, and uncom-
promising integrity. Mr.. Bowers has all
these qualifications.
