No News at Washington.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-Neither
the State nor the Navy depart
ments have received any news in
dicating the capture of Rio and the
downfall of Peixoto. At the Navy
department the opinion is ex-
pressed that Captain Picking
would promptly notify the depart
ment of such an occurrence. This
government, however, some days
ago was inclined to believe that
Peixoto was losing ground, and
that he was liable to meet serious
reverses in a short time. AT the
Brazilian Legation, it is stated, no
news has been received, and ru-
mors of Rios capture are doubted.
Ordinarily, the Legation receives
advices each day. Some delay ap-
parently has occurred, in sending
cable messages to the Legation
here.

Hornblower Appointed.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22-It will
not be known until after the
Christmas holidays whether Mr.,
Hornblower is to be justice Of the
Supreme Court. The Senate judi
dietary committee, when it adj
journed on Monday, adjourned
not to meet again until January
the Sth, which is the first
regular meeting day of the COM
mittee after the converting of Con-
gress. The committee has been
unfortunate in it's efforts to secure
full attendance ever since the
nomination was made, and this
fact has given the members Of the
committee plausible explanation
for the delay in reporting upon the
nomination,

Mysterious Letters Found.

ABILENE, Kan, Dec. 22.-Two
letters were picked up on the street
here Wednesday by a country
woman and handed to the police.
One letter is from Topeka, dated
December 10th, and says: ave
have concluded to make two jobs
out of the White House business.
We will take the oldest child
all right. Mollie will get
her and hand her over to us, and
we will keep her until reward is
offered. 1t means thousands to us
to get this girl Ruth, and we will
get her too in January. Adj
dress me in Chicago. We
will go right on" The
other letter was from Minneapolis,
and written prior to the one al
ready quoted. 1t said: ave have
everything ready for the White
House, and will send Grover to
hades when the bugle sounds.
We will also get our twenty
thousand. We will start for
White House. Now, we have never
failed in our jobs and won't now.
There is much more in the houses
of the gold-bugs and Vanderbilts."
The letters bear evidence of sim
certify, and the police consider them
to be the work of cranks.
The queer acting individual
who was around the city early in
the week, declaring that he would
soon be rich, is supposed to have
been the recipient of letters. He
has gone east, and has not been
located.

Hostile to Uncle Sam.

MONTEvIDEO, Urugary, via Gal
weston, Dec. %, (by Mexican cable
to New York Herald).-The Her.
AIDS correspondent in Rio sends
word today that officers of the Ger
man warships in the bay have
given the insurgents unmistaka-
bly, to understand that Germany
will not permit the slightest
interference with her vessels in I'M
loading their cargoes on the whar-
yes of Rio by means of lighters fly
ing the German flag. 1t is posi-
lively known in Rio that British
ship has been supplying rebels
with frozen mutton.
The communication made by
President Peixoto through the New
York Herald today stating that his
forces had suffered no reverses /;
that the insurgents were weak
ening; that Da Gama's mani
festo had fallen fiat, and that the
states were daily sending Peix-
OTTO assurances of loyalty, was
telegraphed to all the leading
newspapers of South America and
created extensive comment. The
only loan which PeiXoto is known
to have made since the revolution
broke out is one for 10000 pounds
sterling, Notwithstanding many
rumors of additional ones. This
was secured by bonds on state rail-
roads.
Eight masters of American YES
sells in Rio, holding special permits
from the Brazilian government to
discharge their cargoes there, have
sent a telegram to Secretary of
State Gresham, asking that they
be protected from the insurgent
forces, and unless protection is
given, they say, they are barred
from the privileges ordinarily en-
joyed even in blockaded ports.
Capt. Picking, of the Charleston,
has so far refused to give them the
same protection German and Brit
ish ship captains enjoy.

His Brother a Sheriff.

CHARLESTON, S. c., Dec. 22.-J.
MINIS Sullivan has been sentenced
by Judge Wallace, at Anderson, s.
c., to be hanged today for the MUIR
der of Herman G. Galbreath. The
crime was committed in the main
street of Greenville, S. c., in June,
1892, the case being removed to
Anderson on a change of venue.
Both men were of middle age and
members of wealthy, widely con-
nected and influential families.
The trouble between them grew
from a trivial quarrel over Gal
breath tossing an empty bottle into
Sullivan's yard. The removal to
Anderson was on the ground that
Galbreath's brother is sheriff of
Greenville county, and part of his
official duty is to assist in drawing
iurieS.
