MoxrEv1DEo, October 16.-Advices
have been received that the Brazilian
armored cruiser sete De Selmbro, which
was bound for Rio to join Admiral
Mello's forces, ran ashore near Praia
Grande. All OF the crew escaped but
as soon as they were landed they were
made prisoners by Peixoto's forces
which were stationed there.
Further details of the bombardment
OF Rio have been forwarded. The gov
ernment forces suffered heavy losses,
but the government is suppressing all
reports OF the casualties. Mello's flag
ship opened the bombardment.
There was contest for the posses
sion OF the government workshop OF
Armaco between the revolutionary
forces and those OF the government.
When Mello realized that he could not
obtain possession OF them peaceably he
prepared to open fire. The lombard
ment was very destructive. Many build
ings were badly damaged.
Residents OF the city fled in terror.
Several OF the shells from the insurgenta
feet struck in the heart OF the city, kill
ing many OF the inhabitants.
A shell from the Trajedo fell in the
centre Of the city. The buildings occu-
pied by the Rio Ncws and the American
Bible Society were wrecked. Many for
eisners we're killed and wounded.
Among the buildings which suffered
greatly from the bombardment was the
police barracks, which are situated near
the custom house. The government
forces numbered 1000, and replied Wig
orously to the fEe from the aeet. The
land batteries had few old Krupp
guns mounted and these were trained
on the ships. Mono OF the ships were
injured. The insurgent fleet also bonn
barded Nichteroy, Domingos. 1carahy
and Santa Rosa, suburbs OF Rio. The
fire on all of them was destructive to
property. It is also known that thero
was great loss OF life, but the facts are
suppressed by the government officials.
Advices have also been received OF q
sharp engagement between q detach-
ment OF the revolutionary forces and
government troops near Pinta Da Gaia.
The rebels were short Of coal for their
ships and sent detachment to capture
a supply which they kAew was at this
point. The land forues waited until
they got within range and opened fire.
The contest lasted but short time
when the land batteries were silenced.
The naval detachment then captured
the coal. Owing to English interests
involved complaint was made Of the
attack to British Minister Wyndham. in
Rio. He detailed Captain Lang to make
an investigation. After close inquiry
he reported that there had been heavy
losses and that several of the govern
ment troops had been killed in the en-
gagement.
Captain Boyton, the American who
captured by the English war ships in
attemp pting to blow up the Aquiaaban,
is boasting that the government paid
him $4,000 for making the attempt.
The prestige Of the rebels is appa-
rently declining. Forts Santa Cruz has
been firing upon the rebel warahips and
has severely damaged the steamers Ura-
nj and Pallas. Many Of the rebels have
been killed and wounded.

Begins in New York.
NEW York, Oct. 16.-John Roberts,
jr., OF London, champion of England at
billiards and pyramids, crossed cues
with Alfred De Gro tonight in the Mad
ison Square Garden Concert Hall,
in d strong effort to wrest the
worlds championship from the Cuban
wonder. The terms OF the match were
that 15O points should be played each
night. De oro's friends were of the
opinion that he had a 'cinch," /"
but when Roberts won the toss
and held eight out Of fifteen
in the first frame by faultless
play, the Cuban's friends changed their
minds. Roberts selected the English
table which is six by twelve feet for the
start He made some beautiful hazards,
playing magnifcently and cornering De
Orc at every "leave."
The first four frames were played on
the American table and Roberts scored
81 to the Cuban's 20. Do Orc terrified
the Englishman when he opened the
American game making IA ballA on the
run and Roberts finishing with the re-
naming one.
Score for the evening-De Gro, 152;
Roberts, 1872; completing the nineteenth
frame,

PROCEEDINGS IN DETAIL.

Dir. Vest Is Asked some Pertinent Ques-
tiuns Regarding the Rights OF the Ma
iority.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. l6.-When
the senate met this morning the house
joint resolution fixing the qualifications
TO vote and to hold Office in that por-
ton of Oklahoma territory known as
the Cherokee territory, known as the
Cherokee outlet, was taken up.
After the resolution had been eX-
planned by Mr.. Faulkner, chairman OF
the territories committee, an amend
ment proposed by Mr.. Hoar, (Rep.) OF
Massachusetts, was agreed to, restrict
ing the right 20 vote and hold office to
citizens OF the United States. Mr., PEI
fer, (Pop.) OF Kansas, moved to strike
out the word "male" SO as to allow wo-
men to vote. Tho amendment was re-
jeCted, nays, 4, yeas Q. The affirmative
votes were cast by Messrs. Allison,
Carey, Dolph, Frye, Gallinger, Hoar,
Kyle, PETER, Teller.
Mr.. Faulkner moved to strike out
that portion OF the resolution to which
Mr. Hoar's amendment has been at
tached and thus amended the joint reso-
luton was passed.
Mr.. Lodge, (Rep., Mass.,) spoke in
advocacy of this proposed amendment
to tho rules, providing that no senator
shall read a printed or written speech
and senators present and not voting
shall be counted rs present for the pnr-
pose OF making a quorum. He said the
present condition OF the senate was an
absolute travesty on every RUE OF parlia.

In regard to cloture rule Mr.. Vest
said that ii the action OF a minority in
resiating the votes of the majority had

crate it to large extent with the
American people. II the senate bad

REJOICING Ar TOULON.


Russian Sailors Kissed by Women-Tho
Feeling In Germany.
ToULoN, Oct. 16.-The scenes Of re-
joiciug here last night were unexam-
pied. Some of the Russian soldiers who
we're allowed shore leave were carried
about the town by sailors and citizens,
and embraced and kissed by women
amidst enthusiastic applause from the
crowds visible wherever the Russian
uniform appeared.
The battle OF flowers was followed by
banquet last night, given by Admiral
Devigne in honor OF Admiral Avellan.
In announcing tho toast to the Russian
navy, Admiral Deyigne characterized it
as the twin sister Of the French navy.
He said the visit OF tho feet to the
French port was fresh proof OF the
czar's sympathy for France, and spoke
in glowing terms Of the cordial rela-
tons existing between the two nations.
Admiral Avellan replied briefly.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 16.-The con.
di!ion Of the repeal bill in the senate
with reference to compromise is not so
easy OF definition tonight as it appear
cd to be on Saturday. The situation ap-
pears to have changed somewhat from
the standpoint Of the ultra repeal forces,
and the reason for this change, real or
apparent, is in the fact that the admin
istration has again made known its wish
that further effort be made to get the
repeal bill through unamended.
1t is said that Mr.. Cleveland is dc.
termined that Congress shall continue
to debate the question, if necessary,
until the first OF December. Mr.. Voor-
hees said this morning. however, that
he would expect the senate to sit again
tonight, and each night hereafter until
the question could be disposed OF on
the lines originally mapped out. He
said he would not expect to continue
all night, but well into the night. The
compromise Democratic senators are
still at work, and they do not accept the
opinion that compromise can be pre-
vented.
A LATER DISPATCH.
There will probably be no more night
sessions in the senate while the repeal
bill is pending. The silver senators
clogged the wheels efectually for about
two hours tonight, and would proba-
bly, have continued to do SO but for an
understanding brought about by the
movement which was inaugurated be-
tween the opposing forces to check fiji.
clustering, on promise from some OF
the eadera OF the repeal side to attempt
to so arrange matters as not to make
another effort to secure night sessions.
This agreement, while it was not per-
iected, had the effect of causing the
silver men to cease their calls tor a
quorum and Of permitting Mr.. Petier to
continue his remarks without Interrupt
ton from the call bell. If this arrange
ment is completed, as now seems proba-
BILE, there will be no more night sessions.

Der are. am not here to do the bidding
Of some man who puts a chain around
my neck and tells me what to do"
After some colloquy on the point ol
order Mr.. Cullom, Of Illinois, suggested
that the matter be dropped.N
To this Mr.. Teller fRep., Coio.,) OBJ
jected, saving he was tired OF the inces'
SAINT criticisms in the press and from
other sources that the opponents OF re-
peal were wasting time and characteriz'
ing their course as revolutionary.
The next time such suggestion was
made to him he would callsthe author
to the book. Mr.. Cullom's suggestion
was then adopted, the matter was
dropped and Mr.. PETER resumed his
speech.
At O'Clock Mr.. Pugh observed that
the senate had been in session seven
hours, and Mr.. PETER yielding TO him,
he moved that the senate adjourn.
Mr.. Voorhees, expressed the hope
that the motion would be voted down,
saying that he would ask THO senate to
remain in session until 10 o'clock. By
vote OF 50 to is the senate refused to
adjourn.
THE WHEELS cLoGGED.
Within TIE next thirty minutes the
attention OF the chair was called three
times to the fact that quorum OF the
senate was not in the chamber, but on
each roll call quorum responded. On
tho last call Mr.. Doiph presented u
point of order in the shape of n resolu.
ton to the effect that the snames OF
Senators Allen and Kyle, who were pre-.
sent and not voting, should be recorded
for the purpose OF making a quorum.
The point OF order was overruled.
On the call at 6:40 the senate was
without a quorum for a few minutes,
during which Mr.. Voorhees, asked that
the sergeant-at-arms should request the
presence OF absentoes. A moment later
two senators appeared, and Mr.. Voor-
hees requested that further proceedings
under the call be dispensed with.
Mr.. Dubois called for the ayes and
nays. q On this roll call, when the pairs
had to be respected, no quorum voted,
Lut during q call OF the senate to dis
close the presence OF quorum when
the pairs did not count quorum al
ways appeared. Thus for two hours
the senate was clogged. When Mr..
Voorhees, found the predicament that
he was placed in he attempted to with
draw his motion, upon which Mr.. Du-
bois called for the ayes and nays, but
this required unanimous consent and
this Mr.. Teller refused to give.
Finally at $40 voting quorum was
obtained and Mr.. Petier continued his
speech.
at 10 o'clock Mr.. PETER, without con-
Guiding his speech, yielded to Mr.. Voor-
hees, who moved that the senate ad-
iourn. The motion was agreed to.

Mr.. Pefer then took the floor. Mr..

mentary squabble with Senators Kyle

Mr.. Palmer was complaining OF
