Revival Of a False Heport-ttoncy for Re
demption Treasury Balance

Revival Of a False Repori-Nonoy for Re
demption-Treasu Balance.
WASHINGTON. ID. O.. Nov 1.-THE
rumor ON the London Stock Exchange
that the United States had sent over an
agent 20 negotiate a gold lean is regarded
az simply an echo of the Inaccurate state
ment recently published in New York,
uat sub-Treaeurer Jordan mad gone
abroad for that purpose. Treasury officials
assert positively that no agent has been
sent abroad by the United States to enter
upon any negotiations for gold loan. No
such arrangement, even or contemplated,
could be carried to con plelion before the
meeting Of Congress in regular session on
on December 4th.
This circular was issued at the Treasury
Department to-day:
The Treasury of the United States,
Washington. ID. c.. Nov. l7th, 1893.

10 is believed the circular Will decrease
the amount of money sent on for re-
dampuon and relieve the government of
advancing money to- the banks.
The Treasury balance continues to dee
cline. and at the close OF business to-day
stood aft S9J666Sl9, of which SsJ.S4.757 is

Naval Representatives OF Eight Nation.
Decide Not TO Permit Munitions OF
War 10 he Landed at Rio.

WASHINGTON. ID. C.. Nov. ia
cipher telegram received by the Navy De
partmeut this evening from Captain Pick.
ing, under to-days date. from Rio De Ja-
Metro. is looked upon as significant and
possibly indicating weakening OF the
strength OF the insurgent feet under Ad-
miral Melo. The translation was as
follows:
Naval representatives OF eight nations
including our nation. have decided not
to permit munitions Of war to be landed
at Rio. Santos being still in possession
OF the Brazilian governmen. and connected
with Rio de Janeiro by railway. munitions
OF war for Rio de- laneiro can be- landed 40
Santos Yesterday the insurgents dressed
ship. The brazilian government forts
fired national salute IN honor OF the an
niversary ~ the establishment n the
republic"
The Only Interpretation To be put on
this dispatch is that the naval repreeen-
tatiyes at Rio decided that there shall
be no interference with commerce. and
have formally notified the insurgent adj.
mlral they will prevent IL. The proha-
bhltlSs are. and this Is the View taken
by government officials here. that this
action weakeps Meno very much. for
II he cnrnot close the ports OF Rio and
bring that city into subsection. il can-
not be coniectured how he can make
his rebellion successful II looks % naval
officers very much as II Mello had been
badly crippled. This action is in line
with that indicated in previous dispatches
from Captain Picking to the effect that
foreign representatives had after con-
ference. notified Mello he must rospect
the nationality Of amy tighter ship en-
gagged I'm unloading vessels. and flying
the flag at its bow. Indicating ts nation-
ality. 1t appears that studied effort
has been made 10 give MelO mo- excuse
20 fire upon the city An agreement Was
made some time ago that there should
be no firing between the forces in Rio
and the insurgents In the bay This was
violated on one occasion although little.
IL any damage Resulted.
To-days dispatches indicate that the
naval officers on duty there In the pro-
lection Of foreign interests determined
this agreement shall be enforced. for this
last notice Is the result Of concerted ac-
tion on the part OF the allied powers 10
prevent any firing upon tn city and
damage TO commerce by either side. The
restriction thus imposed as 10 the landing
OF munitions OF war treats both sides
alike, but the advantage Is with the eX-
listing government by reason Of It's con-
necti0n with Santos. Admiral Mello
could. OF course. get supplies by water.
provided the vessels carrying them could
successfully pass the government forts
down the bay below the insurgent neet.

rid says that the Spanish foreign Office
has received news that the insurgent ad-
miral. Mello has proclaimed the son OF

Hauled to Chicago for the Fish That
Do Not Take the Chicago Kind.
CHICAGO, April 2.-Seven carloads of salt
water which ten days ago was making its
billowy way toward the coast of northern
Europe in the Atlantic gulf stream, have
arrived at jackson park for the fish In the
aquarium whose tastes do not run TO fresh
water. 1t was quite a task to get this
water. Of necessity 1t had to be as pure
as possible. The United States fish COM
missions steamer Fish Hawk went out to
the gulf stresm and got the deep blue kind
on its way from the tropics. 1t was pumped
into huge tanks on the steamer
and then transferred into the seven
tank cars which had been made to carry
oil. The railroad track does not run up
TO the aquarium, 80 Fish CommlssionerIMo-
Donald got an electric pump and 800 feet
of rubber hose, with which to pump the
water from the cars to the tank at once.
The work OF fitting up the tank In the
aquarium Is nearly done. The center tanks
are open on both sides. Mr.. Mcdonald be-
heves that people looking at each other
through the water will desract from the at
Effectiveness Of the flsh, so by a simple de-
vice he has divided the tanks by air. This
is done by laying q small pipe puntured
with holes the size OF a pinhead about an
inch apart at the bottom OF the tank. and
air is pumped into the pipe. AS it escapes
from the small holes IL goes straight up to
the top of the water and forms a sort of
mist in the otherwise quiet water, rendering
it Opaque and dividing the tank Longitude
nalIy as ettectually as q curtain.
