AcTHER0Y IN BATTLE ARRAY
And On the Road to Meet the
Rebel Forces and
BRING MATTERS TO A CRISIS.

copyright. 1893. by the Associated Press1
PERNAMBUCo. Dec. 25.-The situation
of affairs has very materially changed
in this city within the last few hours.
Until this morning Pernambuco be-
lleved that its harbor was to be the
scene of the first big naval battle be-
tween the Republica, Admiral Mello's
best war ship, and the Aquidaban, her
companion rebel ship, on the one side,
and the Nictheroy, President Peixoto's
dynamite gun cruiser, on the other.
This belief was simply justified by
the report received a few days on
apparently good authority, that the
Republica and the Auuidaban
had been seen off the Brazil
ian coast headed northward, and ap-
parently bound for Pernambuco, as if to
take the Nictheroy by surprise and
compel her to tight without chance to
put TO sea. The news received here this
morning
CHANGED THE WHOLE ASPECT
OF affairs. The rebel war ships, it was
then learned, were not OH their way TO
Pernambuco, but, OH the contrary, had
sailed towards the mountainous and
rugged island of Fernando de Noronha,
where there is a large convict settle
ment. The island, despite its rugged-
ness, possesses considerable fertility,
and its several harbors, defended by
forts. would enable Mello to make
vigorous resistance if attacked.
The revolutionary admiral's object In
going to Fernando de Noronha, which is
over 100 miles from the main coast of
Brazil. is to compel so many able-bodied
conVictS as he can find in the settlement
to go aboard his vessels and Join their
crews: 1t is said that he expects to
secure not less than 1000 men in this
way. Upon the receipt of this news
aboard the Nictheroy there was great
activity noticeable. Members of the
crew were sent ashore in small boats to
search through the town for such of the
Nictheroy'S men as had been allowed to
leave the land, and to
-s-.. .e-,. HURRY THEM BACK n
to the ship. The commanding officer of
the Nictheroy had apparently received
full instructions lis to how he should act
in such All emergency. and these in-
structions.it is believed, were to the eff
feet that, if he became convinced that
the report of the coming to Pernambuco
Of the Republica and the Aquidaban
proved to be untrue. and that these ves-
sells, instead of seeking, were evading,
fight, he should lose no further time, but
put to sea at once and force them
into naval contest for superiority.
This view OF the case proved to be cor
rect, for this afternoon when all the
men belonging to the Nictheroy's crew
had been gotten aboard the government
battle ship,she weighed anchor, steamed
out to sea, and headed her nose for the
northeast. The Associated Press CORE
spondent is reliably informed that the
NictherOy's destination is the island of
Fernando de Noronha. If this informa-
tion is correct, the long-eXpected sea
battle between the revolutionist and
government war vessels will in all
probability be fought within short
time.

PHOTOGRAPHING CHINESE.
Celestials Will Accept the Op.
pOrtunity to Register.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 25. - Senator
White, of California, who has given
close attention to the Chinese question,
in all its phases, expressed the opinion
that Chinese residents of this country
will accept the opportunity to register
under the new law extending the Geary
act, and says that many of the Chinese
have so assured him. The senator says
that the only thing that stood in the
way of their registering under the pro-
visions Of the Geary law before the
time for registration was extended by
the present congress, was the Op-
position of the Six Companies,
which made the fight against the con
stitutionality of the enactment, and
meantime prevented the Chinese FROM
complying with the law. Now that the
supreme court Of the United States has
decided upon the constitutional points.
and has confirmed the right of congress
to legislate in the matter, and in view of
the fact that this government has shown
disposition to act lenientiy with the
Chinese already here, it is supposed
that the Six Companies will withdraw
their opposition to registration and per-
NIT compliance with the law, especially
as they have been warned that refusal
will result in wholesale deportation,
which would be ruinouS to their in
terests. Furthermore, it is understood
that some of the managers of the Six
Companies have expressed their acquies-
cence in the law. 1t is also stated that
the Chinese government will urge COM
pliance.
Senator White says; there has been
more talk about the objection of the
Chinese to having their photographs
taken for filing with their certificates
than was justified, and that it has largely
died out since the exclusion bill became
a law. He thinks, therefore, that the
Chinese did not feel so much repug-
nance to having their pictures taken as
was represented. The belief is general
among the California people that the
Chinese will submit to this eXaction,
and the present marshal of Southern
California is so entirely convinced on
this point that he has established a
photograph gallery in Los Angeles for
the especial purpose of photographing
the Chinamen when the rush shall
begin. The senator also states that
there is no especial feeling among the
the Americans of California upon the
subject, because they think the act will
be enforced, and they are willing to
submit to the presence of the Chinese
now here. providing it be understood
that no more are to be imported. -

APPROPRIATIONS.
Bill to Repeal Certain Permanent
Appropriations

WASHINGTON, ID. g.. Dec. 25.-A
subject which will receive some con-
sideration at the hands of the committee
on appropriations of the house this ses-
sion of congress is embodied in the bill
introduced by Representative Sayers,
its chairman, entitled bill ito repeal
certain laws relating to permanent and
indefinite appropriations" Bills having
this object in view have appeared
perennially during the past ten years,
but for various reasons they have failed
of enactment. The object of repeating
these permanent appropriations, and
having congress pass upon the matters
covered by them each year, is that it
will conduce to more thorough and
careful examination of items Of ap-
preparation than is obtainable under
the present system, by which accounts
are audited and passed upon by the
accounting officers, and where no
opportunity is left for scrutiny by
congressional committees. At the
same time, objection is made against
the changes proposed by the bill, be-
cause of the injustice that would result
to claimants entitled to amounts paid
them under the present system, without
recourse to specific congressional legis-
lation. The bill now before the conf
mittee excludes from its provisions yarl-
Gus laws. therein specified, including
the sinking funu and others. with ap-
propriations under which amount to
many millions of dollars, roughly esti-
mated at about one-third of the total
permanent appropriations. The total
annual permanent appropriations for
the fiscal year 1894 were s11S, ,444, $50. and
the estimates for 1895, $40, ,O74,eSO. The

man came TO Washington three days
ago from Baltimore. Night before last
he applied at the police station for lodg-
ing, and the officer in charge directed
him to the municipal lodging house
next door 10 the station house, where he
slept that night, and
SAWED WOOD NEXT MORNING
to pay for the lodging. With reference
to this, Donjon is very earnest in his
assertion that it is the first time he ever
slept in such place. The Washington
police had no description of the man at
that time in their possession. Yesterday
he fell i'll with German OH bench in
one OF the public parks in this city.
The man was drunk. but spoke some
words of encouragement TO him, and
io!d him that he was out of work, but
gave him quarter and hoped that he
might soon find something to do. He
thought the best thing he could do with
the quarter was to get some postal
cards and make another effort to
secure answers from those to
whom he had been sending
He took lodgings at 304 Tenth street in
this city, and slept there last night.
This is the address on the postal card
received from him today. His story is
that he waited about this place all today
for some one to appear in reply to his
postal cards, but that no one came. He
then determined, he says, to start out to
look for Chief Drummond. He was
very much disturbed and astonished at
the character of the publications in the
newspapers regarding the letters he
wrote from Baltimore last week, but
wanted to see the authorities and
SET HIMSELF RIGHT.
With this in mind he stopped at the
detective office of James A. McDevitt.
He knew perfectly we'll that he would
be arrested when he made himself
known to the authorities, but this did
not seem to disturb him. The man
speaks very good English. but with a
strong German accent. He is evidently
we'll educated. aud says he has spent
much time in re aiding scientific works
on electricity, chemistry and kindred
topics. In reply to a question, he said
he had also read works on political
economy and social science. but has.
tened to add that they were not such as
were given out by the socialist and an
archist associations in New York civ.
The police officials say it is not prob
able that his hearing will take place
tomorrow, and it may be delayed sew
eral days. The letters from him which
they now have i'll their possession do
not contain threats of character that
would he likely to make case against
him on that charge. 1t is believed,
however, that threatening letters can
be secured from among the earlier ones
he wrote, if any of them have been
preserved. If they have not, it may be
necessary to proceed against him on
charge Of using the mails to defraud.
The man tells a connected story, but
the police put no faith in bis assertion
that he was melted to write the letters
by other persons.

Want Free Lumber.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 25.-Information
received here indicates that the Cana
dian government is taking no chances,
and is at work to secure the retenti on
of lumber on the free list in the Wilson
bill. The opposition of certain inter-
ests to placing lumber Oh the free list
has aroused the Canadian government,
and Mr.. Courtney, deputy mini ster of
finance, has been sent here to look sfte r
the Dominion's interests. The argu-
ment that Is being used to overcome the
opposition to free lumber is tnat In case
this provision is eliminated from the
Wilson bill an export duty will be
levied by the Canadian government on
logs and lumber.

PENSIONS A VESTED RIGHT.
How a Measure Which Was On.

Snncial To the GInhe

how a measure W men w as Up.
posed Eecame Law.
Special to the Globe
WASHINGTON, Dec. 25.-The Martin
amendment to the deficiency bill which
makes pensions "a vested right" and
practically forbids due pension commits
sioner from suSpending any pension
until upon the notice to the pensioner,
has become law by receiving the
signature of the president.
1t was first introduced as an lnde-
pendent measure by Mr.. Voorhees, in
the senate, and Mr.. Martin (both Demo
cratS) in the house. II met with the
most strenuous opposition from men,
bers of the committee on invalid pen
sioDs in the latter body. Maj. Baldwin,
of the Sixth Minnesota district, was par
ticularly pronounced in his opposition
to the measure while in committee. Mr..
Martin discovered that it was question
if the measure would not be defeated as
an independent bill. and was also afraid
that even in case of its passage it might
meet with presidential veto. He
therefore proceeded by indirection to
inject the bill as an amendment into the
bOdv of a most urgent deficiency bill.
In this manner it met with the smallest
possible discussion, and became law.
The opponents of the measure are
now kicking themselves that a more
decided opposition was not made to the
measure, even to the extent of postpon-
ing the appropriations until after the
holiday recess.

committee has referred the bill to Sec
retary Carlisle for his views on the
changes proposed by it, and the several
will be asked to submit their opinions
before any recommendation is made in
the matter by the secretary.
Ten years ago Secretary Manning, In
communication to congress on this
subject, expressed the opinion that,
while the general features of the bill
appeared to be such as ought to receive
the sanction of the department, he was
confronted with such diversity of
opinions on the part Of the accounting
officers regarding the enactment of the
law, i'll the form then presented. that he
felt reluctant to advance any views
other than to say that the general prop
OSltlon to substitute specific or annual
appropriations for those of permanent
or indefinite nature met his approval. /
The matter was brought to the atten-
ton of The department officials again in
1883, and its opinion requested on the
changes proposed. 1t appears, however,
from the records, that no opinion was
expressed at that time, Acting Secretary
Thompson merely transmitting the re-
ports of the several accounting officers
on the bill and statement of eXpend-
ltures called for.
Again, in 1890, the matter Sas re-
ferred to the treasury department, and
Secretary Window wrote letter in
which he said an examination CT the
law under which such appropriations
were provided elected the fact that a
large portion of the indefinite appropri-
atons should stand without repeal on
the principle of economy and dispatch
in the work OF the government, as now
performed. as we'll as in equity to claim
ants to relieve them of the hardships
of awaiting annual appropriations by
congress, i'll many instances of money

treasury of the United States as mis-

paid on demand. Moreover, he said. a
law of general character repeating the
appropriations and naming the eXcep-
tionS was inadvisable. ANY such law
should name especially the appropria-
tiUnS to be repealed.

Special to the Globe.

Special to the Globe
WASHINGTON, Dec. 25.-"What Is the
object, MIR. Holman, in striving to aboI-
ish the Indian agencies throughout the
West?" asked the GLOBE correspondent
Of the great objector from Indiana.
THE object is economy. The Demo
cratic party is pledged to an economical
administration of the government, and
when the entire system of Indian
agencies is broken up, one of the most
useless as we'll as the most eXtravagant
sources of expenditure will be dried at
its source. What reason now exists for
not alloting lands in severalty to the
Indians all over the country, furnishing
them with complete agricultural outfit
and saying to them: Either go to work
or starve,' as we say to the average
American citizen?
There has been a vast amount of
sentimental humbug throughout all
American history as to the noble red
man. Now the time seems to be rapidly
approaching when it has got to cease.
The idea that the Indian somehow has
vested rights, in some indefinite and
gauzy manner. in being supported by
taxation levied upon his white brother,
is vicious one, and has got to be put to
rest. He has got to learn by hard
and rugged experience, that he has
nothing but his own efforts to rely upon.
Many of the Indian tribes are rich in
lands and stock and money. Whatever
is rightfully and legally theirs should
be given to them, and the nation must
gradually withdraw from the position
of indulgent guardian to them. What
my bill proposes will not injuIe, but
benefit the Indian. 1t simply consol-
idates several agencies into one, thus
reducing the expenses which have here
tofore been considered necessary. 1t
reduces the number of official positions
not only, but it reduces the possibilities
of fraud upon the Indians themselves
to the minimum.
81 do not know what the committee
will do. There are strong influences at
work to perDetulte the evils of the pres
ent Indian system. Rascality sometimes
in this imperfect world secures vested
rights. One never can tell how many
sections ring may have, or how vast
its ramifcations may be. l am pre-
pared now, as always. to strike useless
or extravagant expenditures by the
government wherever IT is possible.
This bill is only the beginning. 1t
means the gradual wiping out of the
Indian office as governmental bureau.
1t will take years and courage to ac-
compliSh it. /, of course, will not live
to witness the end. But of this am
quite sure, this is the beginning of the
end.
