The Cincinnati Bank Wrccker Par
doned by the President.
WAsHTNGToS, seb. 27.-The president
has granted communication of sen tence
to Edward L. Harper, ex-president Of
the Fidelity National bank of Cincin-
matt, who was convicted of violation
of the federal banking laws and sem
fenced Dec 10. 1857, to 10 years inn
prisonment in the Ohio penitentiary at
Columbus. The Communication provides
for Harper's release on May l, 1893. The
president has twice refused to take ac-
ton in Harper's case for the reason that
the physicians reports showed him to
be less dangerously i'll than was claimed
by those who sought to have him re-
leased. Recently, however. physicians
who attended Harper have fled state
ments that he is very i'll and is gradually
losing strength and flesh.

A Mach Has been Made.

NEW YoRK, Feb. 27.--While it is not
definitely known if Corbett and Mitchell
have signed articles for a fight, it is
known that q match has been made
that is satisfactory TO the principals and
their hackers. Both Brady, who is act
ing for Corbett, and Mitchell have al
ready come to an agreement, and it is
very probable that the articles have
either been signed or will be in very
short time.

FIGHTING CONTINUES.
Five Battles Fought and Many Killed
in Rio Grande do Sui.


in Rio Grande do Sui.
NEW YORK, Feb. 27.--The Herald's
Valparaiso special says: From various
sections in Rio Grande do Sui comes
news of fighting. An army of 1000
federals are besieging the town of Santa
Anna. They are poorly armed and
hence have made no assault on the
town. A fierce battle was fought near
Dom Pedrito Friday. Many were
killed on each side, but the result of the
fight is not known. A revolution has
broken out in San Probo. One painful
feature Of the fighting which is going
on in the province of Rio Grande do
Sul is the awful atrocities against nom
combatants of which both sides are
guilty. Many families from the Ar
gentine province of Corrientes are flee
ing into Paraguay to escape from the
brutality of the soldiers.

Against Convict Made Clothing.

CHICAGO, Feb. 27.--The legislative
committee investigating the sweat
shops of Chicago have secured what
they regard as the most important tes-
timony yet given. 1t was to the effect
that clothing made in the New York
state prison at Sing Sing was handled
by nearly every wholesale clothing firm
IN Chicago. These goods were the very
cheapest on the market, the witnesses
said, and it was competition with them
that had reduced wages in Chicago
sweat shops to the present starvation
level. This discovery viii lead to the
introduction of a resolution in the legis-
lature calling ON congress to restrict
the sale of convict made clothing to the
state in which it is manufactured.

Daring Attempt TO Destroy a Distil-

Daring Attempt 70 Destroy a Distil-
iery at Cnmmingsviile, O.
CINCINNATI, Feb. 27.-There is a re-
port of daring attempt to blow up
the Dolsworth distillery at Cummings
vile, during the evening. A trap had
been set to blow up the whole concern,
and was only discovered after great
deal of shrewd work. Under the build
ing, in place to be reached by high
water, was a quantity OF phosphate
anhydrite and nitroglycerine. The
phosphate anhydrite explodes when it
comes in contact with water. This
would ignite the nitroglycerine, and
the whole distillery and bonded ware
house would be blown to atoms. It is
precisely the scheme employed to blow
no the Shufeldt distillerv at Chicago.

ORDERED TO NICARAGUA.
The Cruiser Atlanta to Sail at Once for
GreytOwn.

The Cruiser Atlanta to Sail at Once for
GreytOwn.
The state of affairs in Nicaragua was one of
etopics considered at today s cabinet meeting.
AS result orders will this afternoon be issued
by the Secretary of the Navy for the
immediate preparation of the cruiser At
lanta, now at New York. for trip to
Greytown, with instructions to protect
American interests, especially in connection
with the work on the canal. Secretary Gresham
has received information that the situation is
serious in the interior of Nicaragua, in the
country between the capital, Managua, and the
seaport San Juan del Sur.
1t is said that the Atlanta can be fitted out
for the trip inside of four hours and that she
will probably start early tomorrow morning
1t will take her about week to reach Grey
town, which is near the eastern terminus of the
proposed canal.
There are several other vessels at New York
that can be utilized in case more are needed
for this service. but it is believed that the
Atlanta will prove sufficient for all purposes.
No ships will be ordered to the west coast Of
Nicaragua, for the very good reason that there
are none at present on the Pacific station that
can be spared from their present duties. The
Alliance is the only ship at San Francisco, and
she is being fitted out for patrol duty in Boring
sea.
The San Francisco and Charleston are now
undergoing repairs at New York and Norfolk,
and will return to the Pacific as soon as finished
Neither Of them will be ready for the long
voyage around the horn. however, for
several weeks yet. For these excel
lent reasons the United States navy
will confne its present operations
in Nicaraguan waters to the east coast. In case
of necessity the Kearsarge which recently sailed
from Cape Haytien for Hampton Roads, could
be sent back to the Caribbean sea as soon as
she reaches an American port. 1t is believed
she will first touch at Kew West.
