The Recalled Naval Onicer Reaches New
York From Rio.
New YORK, Dec. Admiral Stan
ton, who was relieved of his command
of the South American squadron for
''saluting the insurgent Admiral Mello
in Rio harbor," arrived here on the
steamship Spree. In conversation with
a representative of the Associated Press,
who boarded the Spree at Quarantine
and came up to New York with him,
the admiral said:
Il sailed from Rio on Oct. 81 on the
steamship Thames, my intention being
to sail for New York on the City of
Paris, which missed by six hours. I
then arranged to sail on the Spree from
southampton Nov. 80"
The Associated Press man asked Ad-
miral Stanton if he would say anything
about the incident in Rio harbor which
resulted in his Eeing relieved of his COM
mand.
II will have to ask you to excuse me
from speaking of that, he replied. 81

ceived dispatch from the navy depart
ment ordering my immediate return but

but could not speak of it nor say any
thing ON the subject until / have re-
ported to the secretary of the navy.
have had scarcely any opportunity to
see the newspapers since / sailed from
Rio, and have only seen the English pa
pers."
The admiral will go to his home at
New London, Conn, and await further
orders from Washington. He said the
outcome of the Brazilian rebellion was
difficult to predict. No great damage
had been done on either side.

INCOMES AND INTERNAL REVENUE
What VIII Probably BE Done by thu

What VIII Probably BE Done by the
Ways and Means Committee.
WASHINGTON, Dec. Those who
have been counting upon an internal rev.
enue bill to be reported by the Demo-
cratic members of the committee ON
ways and means, which would revolu-
tionize the whisky and tobacco tax, may
yet be disappointed. The whole ques-
ton Of internal revenue has been dis
cussed pro and con by the committee
and a wide range of plans canvassed.
The question has been found to be one
OF the most difficult of all that the COM
Inittee has been called upon to deal with
and it is asserted by those in a position
to know, that there are members of the
committe who
Have Changed Their Views
on material puints since the exchange of
opinion was begun and since their re-
search and Investigations have been di-
rected into different channels by fellow
members and by outsiders. 1t is, for
instance, sid that almost all of the
members were favorable to a heavy
increase OF the tax on whisky and to.
lacco, when they first met as Il commit
tee, but it II now asserted that the views
q many OF them have undergone such a
radical change upon this question that
1t is even doubtful Whsther a majority
tan be found favoling any increase
whatever upon the present rates upon
these articles, and that il there should
be any increase it will grudgingly be
given, and only because the reduction of
duty proposed by the tariff bill will rem
der it necessary to increase the collec-
ton from internal revenue sources.

If there is any trouble with county

who lowered the tax rate so that the

SENATOR JONES OPINION.

Senator Jones told a New York
Press reporter the other day that he
did not anticipate the repeal of the
Sherman silver purchase act when
congress meets in the fall. If the
law is repealed" he said without
something to take its place you will
see one of the biggest panics this
country has ever experienced. If
YOU undertake to shorten the supply
of money in face of the financial
stringency that exists today disaster
will surely result. 1t is, perhaps just
as well that the international mon
etary conference has been postponed
until November. By that time, per-
haps, the advocates of single gold
standard will have learned some wis
dom. The world is being treated to
an object lession in the present
financial troubles which ought to
bear good fruit. Let US hope so any
way."

A Womsn l0y Years Old.

Mary Thompson, an inmate of the
Camberwell workhouse, celebrated the
one hundred and seventh anniversary Of
her birthday recently, and in view of
the event Mr.. Frank Wint, the master
of the workhouse, has furnished portraits
of the old lady to the queen and the
Prince of Wales. Polly, as Miss Thomp-
son is familiarly called by her fellow in
mates, enjoys fairly good health in spite
of her years, and her intellect is singu-
larly clear. Her memory carries her
back to incidents which occurred 90 or
10 years ago, when she was in service.
Polly is rather proud of the fact that
she managed to resist all offers of mar
riage, for she says, 'The men worked
the women so hard in them days" For
nearly 3Oyears Miss Thompson has lived
within the walls of the Camberwell
workhouse, and the good health she still
enjoys is probably due to the care and
attention she receives at the hands Of
the officials. s.-Lloyd's Newspaper.
