BUENos AYREs, Sept. 30.-The lion
clad Independence captured the rebel
war ship Andes, which was seized at
Buenos Ayres few days ago by the
rebels. The rebel officers of the Andes
managed to escape, but the crew was
captured.
The latest news received here from
Rosario is to the effect that there has
been continuous fighting Though the
day, but the rebels claim to have the
advantage, and on the other side the
government forces claim to have
triumphed. The only fact certain is
that there has been severe fighting be-
tween the rebels and the government
troops.
The latest report from Rio de Janeiro
is to the effect that the rebel war ves-
sells all opened fire ON the city and much
damsge to property resulted.
New YoRK, Sept. 30.-The Herald's
Valparaiso dispatch says: A responsible
person who arrived from over the Ardes
says he has positive information that
Catamarca and Salta have joined the
provinces OF Santa Fe and Tucuman in
the revolt. My informant believes the
national guards will go over the radical
revolters. The failure of the squadron
to revolt is the only drawback to the
triumph OF the radicals.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 30.-The depart
ment OF state tonight received q cable-
gram from Fishback, secretary OF le-
cation at Buenos Ayres, stating that
several unimportant outbreaks have oc-
Cured there, but the government has
the situation well in hand and no serious
results are anticipated.
Secretary Herbert said today that no
new facts were made public in the case
of the American-Boynton--who was ar
rested at Rio. The officials are inclined
to treat the matter as of slight import
ance, and say it has no international
feature whatever.
LONDON, Sept. 30.-Dispatehes from
Rio say the Intervention of the foreign
ministers and the war vessels in the
harbor prevented further attack on
the fort today. 1t is believed favor
able modification of the situation has
taken place.
The same dispatches declare the Ar
gentine situation grows worse hourly.

The only news is from government
sources and is not mnch believed.

French Politeness.

Suppose French politeness is myth,
it is one to be cultivated the world over.
Even the humblest peasant in the small
est province is endowed with an all coI-
quering courtesy that is brought into
play in the most commonplace matters.
If our men could only be taught some of
it, how much more easily would run the
wheels of life's machinery! Business Is
business, of course. The rush and worry
of money getting dwarf the real nature,
yet at the same time stocks would actno
more irregularly, bills would be no less
ready to be paid, panics would occur no
more frequently if the arbitrators of
great affairs would but remember to
bring into their business life q little more
of the softening influence or refined
courtesies that are the flowers in a mead
ow of rank wceds.-New York World.

l,ghtning,a strange selection.

Probably one of the most remarkable
lightning accidents of the period was
that which took place in one Of the east
ern counties lately. A man was shear
ing sheep. Another man, passing on a
pony, stopped to exchange few words
with the shearer and watch the clipping
operation for minute or two. He had
been standing there but very short
time when a sharp crack of thunder was
preceded by a binding flash of lightning.
The shearer was startled almost out of
his senses by seeing the pony and its
rider suddenly collapse in heap, but in
a second the man was up, quite unhurt.
Then the shepherd, happening to glance
at the animal beneath him, found that
the lightning had served it as it had
served the pony. The sheep was stone
dead This, it may be as well to state,
is perfectly true story.-London Tit
Bits.

Much Speculation as to the valkyrie's
Sailing Qualities
NEW YoRK, Sept. 30.--The Valkyrie
left her anchorage q short time after
noon and went away at the rate of fully
Is miles an hour, without a sign of al
lowing her lee scuppeys to 60 under. 1t
was the best sight local yschtsmen have
had of the cutter under way, and they
enjoyed it immensely. Captain Gran
field did nothing that would allow the
natives to see how fast the ship could
travel, so the treat was one that fur
nished no ground for an estimate of her
speed. Experts who watched the
Valkyrie today said the Vigilant must
be better boat than the Volunteer to
beat the new challenger.
TIE sailing directions governing the
races were given out by the regatta
committee today. They are as follows:
The start will be made of Sandy Hook
lightship, the preparatory signal being
given at ii :15 q. M, and the starting
signal at IL :25. The first. third and
fifth races shall be to the windward or
to the leeward, and return. The second
and fourth races shall be run on an
equilateral triangle, and ii the wind
permit. TO the windward. One day
ehan intervene between each racing
day. A race postponed or not finished
within the time limit shall be decided
before the next race in the series is ta-
ken up. e

The Best Language Fer Telephoning.

The French language, it appears, is
better adapted to the purpose of the tele-
phone than the English. 1t is stated that
the large number of sibilant or hiss syl-
lables in English renders it less easy
and accurate means of communication.
Some English words are especially diff
cult OF transmission by telephone. The
word soldier is cited as one of these.
Proper names frequently occur in the
midst of an otherwise perfectly audible
and intelligent conversation which the
ear cannot possibly catch. These must
be spelled out, involving delay.-Elec-

Notice OF Withdrawal.

OMAHA, Neb., Sept. 30.-The Union
Pacific has given official notice of its
withdrawal from the Western Passenger
association.
The reason assigned is the unfairness
of Chairman CaldwelPa ruling making
the use of rates rendered by connecting
lines dependent upon the unanimous
agreement of all the lines. The ruling
wipes out article VIII of the agreement,
which allows the lines to take individual
action in meeting outside competition.
Such ruling, it is claimed. works hard
ships to the Union Pacific, as it had to
fight the Great Northern and Northern
Pacific. Mr.. Lomax disavowed his in
tention to demoralize business.

Aspen Miners VIII Not Accept the Pro-

DENVER, Sept. 30.-The silver mine
owners at Aspen have made a PROPOSE
tion to the miners looking to the re-
sumption of work in a. the idle proper
ties. When silver is lted than so cents
an ounce for money the men will receive
from $3.50 to $4 day, according to the
class of work when silver is 821s cents,
% cents day will be added; when silver
is 831s, then 80 cents day will be add
ed. The acceptance of this proposition
will give work to 700 men. Over 1000
men returned to work in the Leadville
mines recently on the same scale.
ASPEN, CAL, Sept. 30.-The miners OF
Aspen will not accept the sliding scale
of the managers adopted at yesterdays
meeting and from the present outlook
there will be no work to speak OF in this
camp until such time as the price OF
silver will justiiy the employment OF
the men at the old wages.

,,rossedinqs of the commission, to the
effrct that il was created in order to
make plnces for some 'santi-snapper'
Democrats in New York state, called
The attention OF Senator Hill, especially,
10 the matter, in order that he might
lell the senate il he wanted to, whether
any Of the vacancies made by the COM
mission had been filed by "antl-
snapper" Democrats.
Chandler said he was now supporting
the president in his efforts to secure the
repeal of the silver law, but this wouio
not deter him from criticising the presi-
dent who. he thought. was given too
much to disregarding the provisions OF
nxpressed law, and to make q law unto
himself and, when he reached the deter
mination. to attempt to carry 1T out,
whether he saw law for it or not.
Chandler cited ClevelaDd's appointment
in his former term, without the advice
or coneent OF the senate, of W. l.. Put
nam and J. B. Angel as commissioners
to negotiate fisheries treaty with Great
Britain. in violation of the constitution,
Chandler referred to Cleveland's meg
rages to the senate and his communities
tion to Governor Northen of Georgia
and said he was struck with the justice
of the criticism he had seen in recent
London paper that there was singular
resemblance between the letters OF
President Cleveland and those of the
emperor of Germany.
Coming to the Hawaiisn episode,
Chandler read from Cleveland's letter to
the president of the provisional govern
ment of Hawaii the sentence: May
God have your excellency in his wide
keeping"
"What q bene6cent air of sociality
there is about that extension OF the
good wishes of his majesty the president
Of the United States," said Chandler,
Through his personal commissioner,
Blount, who has paramount authority,
to the provisional government OF the
Hawaiian islands,"
Chandler said the appointment of
Mr.. Blount was more gross violation
of the constitution than had occurred
in the appointment of officials in q hum
dred wears. 1t was time the president
and the heads OF the hedepartments should
be brought to rigid observance of the
constitution.
The resolution was then agreed to.
The resolution heretofore offered by
Dolph (Rep. OF Oregon, calling for in
formation as to the payment of pensions
to persons residing abroad, was taken
up. Dolph said there was either great
ignorance in the action of the pension
bureau or premeditated, delib-
crate design to thwsrt the will
Of congress, and he cited the case
of the widow of Commodore Watson,
whose pension, granted by special act
of congress, was suspended six months
ago, and she was called upon to prove
by living persons an event which oc-
Cured 35 years ago. The resolution was
placed on the calendar.
Teller (Rep.) of Colorado offered a
resolution asking for information as to
the amount OF silver bullion purchased
by the treasury department during the
month of September, 1898.
The repeal bill was laid before the
senate as unfinished business, and Cam
den (Dem.) of West Virginia spoke in
advocacy of the bill.
PETER (Pop.) of Kansas then resumed
his argument against the repeal bill be-
gun Thursday.
PETER concluded his speech at 80
pm, and after brief executive session
the senate adjourned.

YUMA, Ariz., Sept. 30.-Matamaz and
Mariscal. Miguel's two worst Indians,
who fed last night, were arrested today.
The nine rebels had their examination
before court commissioner Heferman
and were committed to Jail at Los An
geles for assault, breaking the laws, re-
bellion and sedition. Indian Agent
Estudillo and the marshals leave tomor-

in the bud. The prisoners planned to
murder three persons more If opposed.
No more trouble is anticipated.
NATURE OF THE OUTBREAK.
WASHINGTON, Sept, S0.-A serious In
dian outbreak is threated on the Yuma
reservation, California. Miguel, the de-
posed chief. with band of his tribe, is
reported TO have attacked the reserva-
tion school houses. It is not known yet
how serioua the attack was, or whether
any one was killed. This information
was received at the interior department
by telegraph today, from Indian Agent
Estudillo of the Yuma reservation. Sec
retary Hoke Smith at once went to the
war department and requested toops to
be at once sent to the scene OF the out
break. The dispatch also said Miguel
had been accused OF preventing the chill
dren of the tribe from attending school.
THE SCENE OF TROUBLE.
The Yumas, among whom the trouble
has arisen, number about 1000. The
reservation is in the southeast corner oi
California, 150 miles from Phoenix,
Ariz. The school house attacked is at
old Fort Yuma. The Yumas have al
ways been friendly, but degraded and
lazy. The nearest army post is Fort
Grant, in eastern Arizona, and it will
take about As hours for the soldiers to
reach there.
SOLDIERS ORDERED TO THE SCENE.
The war department has directed
General Ruger at San Francisco to send
detachment of soldiers TO the Yuma
Indian agency for the purpose OF quelling
the outbreak there. He is instructed to
ascertain how many soldiers will be
needed and forward them at once.
TROOPS ON THE MARCH.

an order received from General Ruger
late last night. Colonel Kellogg, COM
manding the United States military post
here, this afternoon sent 80 soldiers to
protect the Indian school at Yuma from
q threatened attack by Indians.
Nothing was known of the character
of the trouble by the officers. who said
the only information that they had was
that the civil authorities were unable to
handle the Indians. No indication was
given of the length of time the detach-
ment may be engaged at Yuma.

D.or,a.ed post, "A Receipts.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 80. = Marshal
Cushing's newspaper, I he Capital, has
this: An annual increa se OF from TO
10 per cent in the gross receipts Of the
postofiice department is Usually cotnted
upon. In the month of June the de-
partment showed an inci ease OF gross
receipts of little over s per cent. In
In July the increase was only little
more than per cent. In August there
was an actual falling off of per cent as
compared with the receipts Of August a
wear ago. This means simply that the
general business of the country has
fallen off as indicated by these figures,
and that the deficit in the postal reve-
nues is likely to be not $4,000, 900 or
SIS. 600, 600 for this year as expected, but
rather 81, ,O00, 900 or $40. 100000.
