DEFEAT FOLLOWS VICTORY
Taverez Runs Against Real Sol
diers and Is Routed.

VALPARAISO, March 20.-The success
which Gen. Tayerez won for the reYolu-
ti0nary cause in Rio Grande do Sui,
Brazil. last Friday was short-lived
one. He has experienced success and
defeat within two days. While flushed
with the victory of Friday. Gen. Tav-
erez, who then controlled the telegraph
wires, sent out the graphic stories of his
success which reached Rio Grande do
Sui and Rivera.
A different story was told yesterday.
The wires are now again in control of
the government, and a story has been
sent out which tells of federal defeat
following federal victory, and of gov
eminent success at the heels of govern
ment disaster. Tayerez' victory Friday
was wrested from the national guard of
Rio Grande do Sui, organized by Gov.
Castillo. and the victory was won with
out much fighting. None of the troops
forwarded by the general government
in Rio Janeiro took part in the engage
ment. The government troops appeared
before Santa Ana yesterday morning.
Without hesitation they attacked the
town and routed the revOlutiOnlStS, who
are reported to have fled before them
like sheep. The retreat was not ended
untlITthe federal soldiers had reached
the frontier line and crossed into Uru-
quay. Many of those who crossed into
Uruguay were captured and disarmed.
The only real fighting of the day is re
ported to have taken place between the
Brazilian and Uruguayan troops. A de-
tacnment of Gen. Portugal's forces
crossed the Uruguay frontier IN pursuit
of some of the fleeing revolutionlsts.
Satisfaction has been demanded from
Brazil by the Uruguayans for this inva-
further trouble will grow out of the diff
ficulty, because the Uruguayans SYM

Three prominent MinneapolitanS are
ready to testify that direct PROPOSE

there are no witnesses, think the word

farther than that of one man. The next
few days will be spent in collecting evil

investigation be ordered"
Apropos of this talk about boodling,
it is only fair to state that no Hennepin
county member is implicated in the
charges which have been made. Some
of the newspaper publications have
pointed toward Hennepin county mem-
bers, but unjustly. The member OF The
legislature who is alleged to have Of

They are willing, however, even IN the
face of the illegality, to pay what they
consider q reasonable tax aud waive the
lllegality. The real grievance is, that
property in adjoining towns was as
sesSed so much lower that they think
kick is justifabe. The board took the
matter under adyiSement, but the opln-
ion is that the matter had better be let

The bond of the Swedish American
bank for $500, 900, and that of the Union
National for S250000, was approved.
Commissioner Dwyer made a repQrt
showing that an investigation OF the
bills allowed by the board for the past
year showed that the county was still
owed $3.50 for money paid out twice, and
not yet refunded. Hereafter all war
rants not drawn within thirty days after
they are due will be cancelled. The
matter of the rejection of the appoint
ment of Bayard Il. Shaver for assistant
county superintendent of schools was
reconsidered by vote. and it will come
up the first Monday in May.

ROME, March 20.-Sgr. Giolitti, the
prime minister, presented to the cham
Der of deputies today the report of the
committee appointed to examine into
the bank scandals. The report states
that the Bank of Sicily had exceeded its
legal note issue by 100000 lire. The
banks acceptances amounted to 33,OOO,.
600 lire. consisting mostly of accommo-
dation bills. The capital of the bank
has been reduced from 23,000,000 lire
to 100000 lire. The National ltal-
ian bank holds overdue bills amount
ing to 20, 900, 900 lire, on which loss is
expected of 100000 lire. The cash
deficit of the Banca Romano is 2S,60O,-
600 lire. The illegal excess OF its note
issue since 1888 reaches total of
64,5OO.OO0 lire. Over four-fifths of the
bills held by the bank lave not been
paid. and the institution holds no secur-
ity for their payment. The committee
recommends that the Banca Romano
cease business. The Bank of Naples
held doubtful bills to The amount of
256O0,OOO lire. The position of this
bank, the report says, though unfortun-
ate, is not discouraging. The report

Dean Willard, of the Medical COL
lege, SuspendS Them All.
The entire senior class of the medi-
cal college at the university was sus-
pended yesterday by Dean Millard.
The seniors and the dean have been at
war for some weeks. The seniors had
made arrangements to lay their grlev-
ances before the executive committee
of the board of regents. Yesterday
Dean Willard took the bull by the horns
and suspended the seniors. They were
informed that the only condition upon
which they would receive con-
sideration was that they appear
before the executive committee
of the medical department and state
their grievances. The dean is chair
man of the committee, SO the seniors
declare they will do no such thing.
They will not go before such committee
unless President NOrthrop be present.
AS the president is not a member OF
that committee Dean Willard will not
consent to that arrangement. The
seniors say they will carry the matter
direct to the board Of regents.

WASHINGTON, March Cot is ex-
pected that within the next few days
the president will send to the senate
the nomination of commissioner of
pensions, and any changes in policy as

Secretary Smiths firm intention to faith
fully administer the pension laws as
they exist, and no one who furnishes
evidence proving his right to pension
under the law will be denied full JUS
tice. 1t is also said, however, on equal
ly good authority that questionable cases
will be thoroughly investigated to the
end that fraudulent and improper
claims may be reduced to minimum.

A Stylish Audience.

Mrs. w. II. Lynn was in the police
court yesterday, the plaintiff in grand
larceny case against Mrs. Mary Phil
lips. Mrs. Lynn claimed that Mrs.
Phillips had disposed of certain gas
fixtures which belonged to her. She
had leased Mrs. Phillips her flats at the
corner of Ninth street south and Third
avenue, but had not sold her the gas
fixtures Mrs. Phillips claimed that
when she rented the flats she purchased
the furnishings, and that the gas fixtures
were included. When she removed
from the flats the furniture was sold,
also the fixtures. She was served with
the warrant last Saturday as she was
about to take the train for Spokane
Fails. Judge MahOney, who heard the
case, decided that Mrs. Lynn had failed
to prove her charges, and dismissed the
action. The audience in the courtroom
was decidedly stylish one, friends of
both parties being present.

AN "HONEoi" IhIEF.
He Returns Valuable Papers, OF
No Use to Him.

w. A. NORM, of Albert Lea. has come
to the conclusion that there are honest
thieves in the world. Mr.. NORM is
brother-in-law of Assistant City Attor-
ney Purdy, and he arrived in the city
several days ago, intending to visit Mr..
Purdy and attend to business matters
pertaining to the Legislature in st. Paul.
He left his travelling bag at the st.
Louis depot, and, when he went to
claim It.fouhd it had been carried off by
some thief. The matter was reported to
the police and the bag was found in
pawn shop. The contents, however, had
been taken out before the thief sold the
bag. Among other articles of value. the
bag contained several important docu-
mentS.
Mr.. NORM received a notice from the
pOstoifice authorities informing him that
a package, on which there was due 8
cents. was waiting for him at the office.
He called and took it out, and imagine
his surprise when he found it contained
the documents which were carried away
with the travelling bag. Mr.. NORM was
so pleased at the "honesty" of tie thief
that he decided to drop further inquiry.

ARGENTINE DELAYS.
Her Representative Instructed
Not to Sign the Gillian Treaty.

VALPARAISO, March 21.-Chili's trOu-
BILE with Argentine with regard to the
boundary question appears now to be
far from settled. An agreement was
reached on last Tuesday, by which the
representatives of the two governments
fixed the boundary lines. A clause was
inserted in the proposed treaty by which
Chill agreed not to claim port OH the
Atlantic ocean. and Argentine aban-
dOned her claim to port on the
Pacific ocean. 1t was believed that
this would he the final settlement OF the
question until yesterday, when Dr. Viii
laroso, the Argentine boundary commits
sioner, received dispatch from the
government in Buenos Ayres directing
him not to sign the treaty and instruct
ing him to return at one to the capital of
Argentina. This action has caused sur
prise in Santiago. is believed, how
ever, that the recall of Villaroso lndi-
Gates merely that the government of
Argentina is afraid to ratfy the treaty
without the consent of congress. Judg-
ing from the present outlook tbs likely
that an appeal will be made to the gov
eminent of the United States to use its
influence for peaceful settlement of
the affair.
