Cent Ordered.
The exposition directors made state
ment yesterday of the affairs OF the

Secretary Byron. The show ran for
twenty-five days, the total receipts
being S22,6i734, and the disbursements
$40, S57.34, leaving a deficit of S21. 240.
This amount is covered by guaranty
fund OF SI06,COO, and by unanimous
vote it was decided to levy an assess

scTibers.
In speaking of the outcome of the
show OF '93 Secrecretary Byron, il his
written report, says:
Under the circumstances. said he,
the outcome is most creditable. The

condition could not be foreoeen. 1t came
upon the country al It it was too late To
abandon the exposition because con-
tracts involving a large amount OF mon

in the result. 1t Will be remembered

SAILORS IN DEMAND.
Brazil Offers One Hundred Dollars
Moath to Our UnempIoyed.

WASHINGTON, Nov. s. - James P.
Gatchell, well-knOwn steamship en-
gineer of this city, says there is no
doubt Flint d Co., of New York, are
procuring men and engineers for the
Brazilian service. He says: "FIint &
Co. have to my knowledge been cor
responding with a number of seamen
and engineers in this city, among them
myself, trying TO make arrangements to
ship Us. They want engineers badly.
and in their letters TO me have stated
that they will pay 500 a month and
$500 advance money. When we enlist
we nave to give uD all allegiance to the
United States and swear allegiance to
Brazil. When we arrive at Brazil we
are supposed TO have all option as to
whether or not we will go into the gov
eminent service. Each and every man,
however, you will find, will go into it.
as they are given to understand in
quiet way that they are being taken
there for that purpose"
An official of the state department
distinctly asserts that that department
is not authorized to take any initiative
IN such case as this, even il the neu-
trality laws are being violated. The re-

Brazirs Minister Denies II.

WASHINGTON, Nov. S.-The state
ment which has been published that
men are being enlisted in this country
by representatives of the Brazilian gov
ernment to assist that government III
putting down the Instruction, is en-
phatically denied by Senior Mendonca.
the Brazilian minister. When ques-
toned tonight by representative of
the Associated Press, Mr.. Mendonca
said: There is absolutely no truth in
the statement that the Brazilian gov.
eminent is enlisting men here. In the
first place. if the Brazilian government
desired 10 enlist men in the United
States, she would have to send a special
officer for that purpose. No enlistment
can be made except by some officer Of
the Brazilian navy who understands all
about the capacity of the persons en-
listed. To enlist men otherwise would
be against the laws and regulations of
Brazil. The legation has no power to
enlist men. Furthermore, the Brazilian
government has no intention of sending
an enlisting officer here.
Much has been said about the en-
pIOyment OF good engineers and gun
ners and ether competent workmen on
the Brazilian vessels. 1t is certainly the
Intention to employ competent and
skilled men TO take charge of the NUM-
tons of war. Mr.. Flint has q contract
TO transport these articles safely to
Brazil, and it is to his interest to employ
skillfuI men. None of the men are
under contract to remain at Brazil, while
on the contrary many nave agreed to go
on the condition that they may return
Immediately"
Mr.. Mendonca denies the statement
that Mr.. Gatchell called on him today to
make arrangements for enlisting, and
SAID that upon hearing OF such a rumor
he Immediately sent word to Mr. Flint
in New York and asked for information
regarding the matter. Mr.. Mendonca is
well pleased with the progress which is
being made by the Flint company in
preparing the Ell Cid and Britannia for
movement. but does not know wnen the
vessels will leave New York.

ANOTHER CRANK LOOSE.
re Tries TO BLOW UP The CENTRAL
POLICE STATION.
THE BOMB Is DISCOVERED
An Officer Finds 1t in the Nick Of
Time-The Dynamiter Escapes
The Death-Deaiing Machine
Is Investigated by Secretary
Maintain Exciting Scene at
Police Headquarters.


Police Headquarters.
A diabolIcal plot to exterminate the
central police station and its officials
was discovered and frustrated in the
nick of time last night. A bomb was
found just outside the door, close to the
sill. 1t was closely wrapped in piece
of tissue paper. Officer Peter Fox, the
day driver, discovered the bomb.
Officer Fox had entered the alley at
Washington avenue shortly after 10
O'Clock, and had arrived within fifty
feet of the station when he saw man
dart out of the doorway and run across
the alley. He disappeared through
the narrow passageway leading towards
Regan'S restaurant and escaped through
the parallel alley opening on Second
street. Mr.. Fox thought nothing of the
occurrence, SuppoSing, of course, that
the man had just come ont OF the lookup
and was i'll hurry. But, nevertheless.
as Mr.. Fox opened the door. and the
light from Within shOne out, he glanced
around. His eyes happened to rest on
small white object next 10 the door sill.
de picked II uD. unwrapped the tissue
paper and found that he had piece of
gas pipe over three inches long. To one
end OF the pipe was attached fuse
about two inches in length.
Officer Fox carried the bomb over to
police headquarters. and was careful
not to jOstle 1t on the way. AS fortune
would have it, the discreet ''Sccretaire
de police" was there, otherwise the
bomb would never have been diSsected.
But Joseph L. Mannix is nothing if not
fearless. He analysed the bomb. While
he did so Capt. Jake Helm, Capt. Buffer
ming ana one Or two other SCARED vet
Grams retired TO the chiefs room. Be-
fore doing so they admoniShed Mr..
ManniX to quit. But he persisted.
First he pulled out the fuse. As he
did so Capt. Helm peaked around the
corner and eXclamined:
Look out! Jo."
But 'Jo' looked in. for Joseph knew
that if the thing did 90 off that he was
just as safe as Jake Helm.
10 lit the fuse. 1t burned with a
brilliant flash. Then he stuck his
knife into the cartridge. which was a
piece of gas pipe, and began to
pry. The veterans quaked in their
boots, but Joseph, conscious of
his virtuous intentions. like his name
sake OF old. simply smiled. Then to
the horror OF all, Including even the
newspaper meIi, Mayor Eustis' secre-
tary actually knocked the cartridge on
the rail as uncOncernedly as a man
would knock the ashes out OF his pipe.
Some black powder and brown dirt
came out, but lighted match would
not ignite it.
The query is, what might have hap
pened if the fuse had been lit before
Joseph extracted it. and what would
have become of Peter Bradley?

Experienced by Passengers on an
InteruFban Car.
Passengers on an interurban car going
in the direction of ST. Paul had narrow
escape yesterday mording from what
might have been frightful death. The
car was in the act of crossing the Mill
waukee tracks. when the rear truck was
struck by a passing freight train and
knocked from the track. The freight
train started TO move just as the inter
urban ear had almost cleared the cross
ing, otherwise frightful results would
have followed. Fortunately. only one
of the passengers was slightly cut about
the hands, and one side of the rear of
the car was shattered. The impending
danger was also seen by the engineer of
the freight tram, and when the crash
came the freight car had about come to
a standstill.
