arrested in the cabin, l.. A. Hill

BoWen-Abbott.

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 13-Andy
Bowen and Stanton Abbott are to
contest for the lightweight cham
pionship of the world and purse
of $4,000 before the Olympic club
tonight. Abbott claims to be the
lightweight champion of England,
and a match between Abbott and
McAulifie may follow this fight,
and will be most interesting in
ternatiOnal battle.
This is the second English pugil-
list who claims to be the light
weight champion of England, and
who has come to this country in
side of " year. Dick Burge was
the first, and his mission here was
to meet Jack MCAuliffG. Abbott
thinks that he will be more sue
cessful than Burge, for he can get
down to McAuliffe's weight (l35
pounds) very easily.
Abbott has the appearance Of
being more of a l22-pOund man
than lightweight. He is a well
built fellow, with a dark complex
ion. He is described as being a
hard hitter, a good general and a
clever boxer. He thinks that
Bowen will be easily beaten.
On this point the friends of the
American boy are not so certain.
Bowen has been able to down
Austin Gibbons and others
even better. and is considered
one of the cleverest fighters in the
ring. He fights good deal like
Billy Myer, and is almost as I'M
calmly as he is in the ring. He is
quick and can hit hard blow. He
is, moreover, one of the coolest of
fighters, and in this respect will
have a great advantage over Alb
bolt, who is liable to become rat
tied.

Southern Railway Receiver,

PUEBLA, Mexico, Nov. l3. The
Mexican Southern Railroad, which
runs from this city to OaXaca, has
been placed in the hands of a re-
ceiver. This road was completed
about two years ago, and since
then its operation has been inter
rupted for months at a time on ac-
count of land slides and wash outs.
There has been over $2,000,000 eX-
pended in making repairs to the
rOadbed, and this great expense
has caused the present financial
embarrassment of the company.

Trouble in the Old Sea.

LONDON, Nov. 13.-The naval
conditions in the Mediterranean
are still the subject of grave APP
prehension in England. Gladstone
made a serious mistake in an
nouncing to Parliament this week
that Notwithstanding the great in
crease in foreign navies, the Brit
Use fleet was adequate for the pro-
lection of British interests, and to
enable the country to carry out her
international engagements. The
Premier invited the obvious retOrt
that if the fleet is sufficient now,
when her positive strength has
been diminished and her relative
strength, as compared with other
powers, diminished in a far greater
degree, then her previous force
must have been vastly in excess of
her needs.

That Brentano Libel Case.

PARIS, Nov. l3.-Some time ags'
the Count de Sesmaisons, formerly
French minister to Hayti, took Of
fence at certain comments regard
ing his conduct, published in a
newspaper of New York. He
brought an action against NJ. Bren-
tanO, proprietor of the Anglo
American Library, in Paris, ask
ing for $4,000 francs damages
for selling the paper containing
the article. The court condemned
NJ. Brentano to pay 5000 francs
damages and a fine of 100 francs,
and to also publish the terms of
the judgment in any ten news
papers that Count de Sesmaisons
might select. BrentanO took an
appeal from this judgment, and re-
Gently when the case came up it
was postponed until today, both
parties to the suit consenting.

The Majority Report on the Tariff
Bill Prematurely Published.

PORT NEARLY COMPLETED.

Debate in the House To Be Cut Short
What Prof. Wilson Says in His Report
Hackneyed Arguments in Favor of a
Low Tariff Repeated-New England
Tobacco Growers Join the Great
Army Protesting Against the BiIl.
Washington, December 10. The minor
lty report of the ways and means com
mittee on the tariff bill is not ready.
Ex'Speaker Reed, to whom has been in
trusted its preparation, today said he
could not state with definiteness when
1t would be ready. 1t is in course of pre-
paration and nearly finished. He was
very much surprised, he said, that the
majority report should be given out to-
day. 1t was certainly violation of the
understanding which, as he supposed,
had been entered into between the
majority and minority that the minority
should have ten days in which to consid-
er the majority report and that then
day should be fixed when both reports
would be given to the press simultan-
eously.
1t is the purpose of the Democratic
majority to limit debate ON Che Sariff
bill in the House to the fewest number
OF days consistent with full discussion
OF the su bject. 1t is the desire of Chair
man Wilson to reach debate under the
tive minute rule withinstwo weeks after
the bill is called up. If the time of the
regular sessions is too limited to accom-
modate all the gentlemen who may wish
to speak, the length of the daily ssession
will be extended two hours. This will
result in the House coming together at
II, and extending the legislative day un-
I'll SIX in the evening. Unnecessary, night
sessions will be had.
The Senate committee on finance TODAY
decided that it would hold no hearing on
the tariff during the holiday recess and
whatever hearings may be had thereafter
Will be reduced to the lowest possible
limit.
When Mr. Wilson presented the report
Of the majority and the tariff bill in the
House Today, he moved that it be printed
and referred to the committee of the
whole. Il shall ask the House, said
Mr.. Wilson, to proceed to the considera-
lion of this bill at the earliest practi-
cable moment" He insisted that the
minority report should be filed within
two days. There were shouts of "no MOI
and Mr.. Reed protested that the minority
did not want to be limited to two DAYS.
Finally the Speaker stated that the
minority would file its views asssoon as
possible and in the meantime the bill
would be referred to the, committee of
the whole.

FIGHTING AT RIO.

Government Forces Capture the Island

the following intelligence: A general
engagement between the government
forts and the insurgent warships took
place in the harbor on Saturday last.
The government forces captured the ISL
and of Bol Jesus, from which the insur-
gents have hitherto obtained their water.
The Aquidaban, the flagship of Admiral
Mello, has returned to the harbor She
was damaged by the fire from the forts
at the entrance Of the harbor.
Buenos Ayres, December 19.-Advices
from Rio Janeiro show that President
Peixoto of Brazil has further postponed
the parliamentary elections until May.
London, December 19.-The Times
publishes three-column letter dated at
Rio Janeiro on November 9th by its spe-
cial correspondent The letter concerns
mostly the financial situation in Brazil
and is filled with statistics from official
documents. 1t closes thus: The results
to be deduced from the facts are quite
enough to warrant the assertion that a
complete reorganization of the admins
trative financial methods is an absolute
necessity if the country is to be saved
from bankruptcy. Probably the present
obligations are in excess of my statement
as common report In Rio credits Peixo-
to's government with having issued ille-
gally 125,000,000 reis in treasury bank
notes in the last twelve months, whereas
my figures on this item are those pub
lished in the finance minister's 1892 re-
port. That Brazil has very great re-
sources capable of rapid development
under good government, nobody dis
putes; but such development and prog
ress need encouragement of kind non

Pittsburg, Pa. Decemb ber 19.-This eve
