PREPARING FOR MORE FIGHTING.
Insurgent Sympathizers Are Be
ing Thrown Into Prison-All
Quiet at Rio, But More Hades
Promised-Meuo Getting Ready
for Another Naval Battle-Pop-
ularity of the Revolution In
creasing.

New YORK, December 1.-THE Her
AIDS special from Montevldeo says; 1t
is now known that Admiral Mello is pre-
pairing to fight the America and Meth
eroy with the Aquidaban, Republica
and others Of his feet. News has been
received that the State OF Pernambuco
was ready to revolt. Letters detailing
the plan were intercepted and the gov
ernmeut Immediately took steps which
prevented the consummation OF the
plot. The correspondent in Rio sends
word that the situation is daily
becoming more serious for Presi-
dent Peixoto Sympathizers with MeIlo
or those who are suspected OF faVoring
the insurgents are being thrown into
prison. Many business houses in Sao-
paulo are bankrupt. Perfect quiet and
peace reign in Rio, which is under po-
lice security. The governor OF the
State of Minas Geraes has issued
manifesto declaring his unouallhed
support or the repuollc. he polhts OuU
the fallacy of the attempt TO restore
the monarchy, and says not a single
member of the Braganza family is mt
to rule. His State, in common with
others, will, he asserts, preserve
its autonomy under republican re-
gime, despite all efforts to re-
store the monarchy. He thinks
this sentiment animates nine-tenths OF
the citizens of the republic. The situ-
alton for American vessels is serious.
Captain Picking refuses to protect
them, Notwithstanding the Brazilian
government issues permits through the
Consul for vessels loading at the
wharves. Captain Picking has notified
the masters of three vessels that if any
of their crews are killed he will testify
against them on charges OF man
slaughter.

rHE TERRITORIAL BILLS.
What the Senate Is Likely to DO With
Them.

WASHINGTON, d. c., December IT,
There is already considerable interest
manifested as to what will be the course
Of the Senate with reference to the terri
torial bills which are coming from the
House Of Representatives. The Senate
Territorial Committee had not held
meeting during the present Congress,
or since the committee was reorganized
by the Democrats, and there has conse-
ouently been no formal expression Of
ODiniOn on the part Of members upon
the question of the admission of the
new States. Inquiry develops the fact
ahat the committee will probably not
take up any Of the bills for serious con-
sideratiOn prior TO the Christmas holl-
davs. A committee will in all prOba-
biity be called for some day next
week, and il is possible that the mat
ter will be taken up and that there
will be q general exchange OF opinions
among the members Of the committee,
but the holidays will be so near then it
is safe TO say that che question will go
over until January. The prevailing
OpiuiOn among members Of the commit
tee is that the committee will be found
to be generally favorable 70 the bills
for admission; but there are almost
sure % be some diSagreements on minor
points. Senator Faulkner, who is
chairman of the committee, has been
inclined to favor the ad
mission Of Utah, Arizona and New
Mexico for several years and the Demo
Gratis of the Senate have generally
taken grounds 10 favor OF their admis-
sion, because from a party point of
view il is believed thar their admission
will be favorable 10 the Democrats.
There has been some apprehension that
the Republican Senators might oppose
admission because of party reasons, but
an imperfect canvass Of the Republican
members of the committee juStites the
statement that in committee at least
thore will be com mparativsly little OppO-
.U.
e admission Of Utah, Arizona,
New Mexico and OklahOms would re-
suit 10 seating eight new Senators all
Of whom would probably be silver men.
To is asserted that the President has
been considering this point and fears
are already expressed that II the bills
pass the Senate some Of them may be
vetoed by him,

APARKERSBURG SUICIDE
Mr. G. @. Irwin Takes ChIOrOfOrm and
Dies Yesterday.

eSeeiSI EsIsorlm 10 ne Rs0s'Es'
PARKRRsBURG, December 17.-G. c.
Irwin, OF Irwin s. Watkins, dealer in gas
stoves and fixtures. on Market street,
committed suicide this morning. About
3 o'clock this morning, Mr.. Frank
Jenkins, who resides on the street and
keeps boarders, heard noise in lrVin's
room, and after calling assistance, en-
tered she room, where they found Irwin
apparently dying. Or. Kelly was i'm
mediately called in, when IL was ascer-
talned that Irwin had taken chloroform,
doubtless with the intent TO commit
suicide. Everything was done to save
his life, but in vain. He died IN snort
time after the physician was called.
Irwin was young man % or there
abouts. He came TO this
city from Pennsylvania, some
time ago, well recommended. His
father and mother are dead, and but
one sister remains alive OF the family.
II is said that Irwin would have come
into considerable property when his
sister came of age. Irwin took the
Keely cure some time ago, and since
then has frequently gone on tears, In
one OF which be was arrested last May
by the police for shooting of revolver
on the street. At the time Irwin was
undoubtedly demented, as he said that
he was looking for his roommate in or
der to kill him. His frequent drunks
and neglect of business forced his part
ner, Mr.. Watkins, to publish notlce Of
dissolution a few days ago, and this
fact perhaps discouraged him. Irwin
was a popular young fellow, and MS
SAD death, at his own hands, is shock
to the community
Irwin told a friend last night that he
intended committing suicide, but the
friend taking his remarks jestingly,
laughed and said: "Well, go and Kill
Yourself, you fool" His body will be
sent to his former home at Warren, Pa,
where his sister resides.

AN 1NEFFIOIENr COMMISSION.
The site of the Western Pennsylvania In
atitnte For Feeble Minded OhiIdren.

The site of the Western Pennsylvania In
stitute For Feeble Minded Children.
PITTsBURG, December 1.-THE COM
mlttee appointed by the association OF
Directors of the Poor to investigate the
proposed site for the Western Pennsyl-
vania Institute for Feeble Minded Chill
dren, at Polk Station, Venango
county, has presented re-
port in which it says a protest
against the site was presented TO the
Board of Charities at meeting held
last October, but after hearing the same
the board approved the report OF the
commission as indorsed by the Governor
by a unanimous vote. The committee
saws further that the commissioners
were not In the least acquainted with
the requirements Of their task and, so
far as could be learned, had no
idea of the purposes OF the IN
stitution to be established, also
that the commission was inactive; that
there was no particular effort made TO
examine the merit Of any OF the sizes.
and this one seems to have been prac-
ticalIy agreed upon without TeBdIu W
the claims of any of the others, or TO
the convenience or accommodation OF
any portion Of the district to be covered
by the institution, except that immeds-
ately in the neighborhood of the one
selected.
One Of the commissioners, the report
says, did NOT visit any Of tha sites Of
fered, although he Joined with the bal
ance of the commission I'm the report
favoring the tract OF land consisting of
about 500 acres and costing S25, 200, at
Polk Station, on the Lake Shore and
Michigan Southern railroad, nine miles
from Franklin, Venango county.
In conclusion it says: what possible
justification the commission can offer
for placing the institution in such an
out of the way place as selected, we
cannot understand. Every interest OF
the institution inself, and those with
whom 1t will have to do business, de-
mands that it be placed near the centre
of population"

More Jaw Fighting.

New YORK, December l7.-Manager
O'Rourke, who is looking after the in
tereStS Of Champion George Dixon, and
who during the past few days has been
endeavoring to arrange a match with
Billy Plimmer, the English fighter,
comes out with statement to-day, in
which he declares that Piimmer has not
been honest in bis protested endeavors
to come to an agreement for meeting
with Dixon, and that his talk about
weight is merely a subteriuge where
by he can avoid such a meeting. He
also declares that Plimmer has never
met Dixon in a flush contest and that,
therefore, he has no right 20 dictate
terms which is the customary privilege
of victor. Manager O'Rourke says:
''Our ultimatum is ia pounds weight
at 6 o'clock. When Piimmer agrees to
this / will guarantee to secure a purse
OF $4,000. My money is up. When
that is covered / will be ready to talk
business with Plimmer of his backer. :"

ply was read by Mgr. Rodlni and iD It

BALTIMORE, ND, Decembea 1.-THE
oyster police sloop Addie Shelton and
the oyster dredging schooner A. e. Park
had fight just before sunrise st the
mouth of the great Annamessex river,
Somerset county, Thursday morning.
Robert Ridgely, colored, a hand on the
dredge boat, had his right jaw shot
away.
The dredge boat was at the mouth OF
the river at o'clock with her sails run
uu. Whether she had been dredging or
was about to dredge is not known, but
it is said she was on illegal ground.
Police sloop Captain j. e. Muir opened
fire on the dredge boat. The latter did
not heave to, captain Muir claims, but
sailed on. The police boat probably
thought the schooner was running
away and gave chase, all the time firing
after her. The captain Of the oyster
boat is quoted as saying that he did not
know the police were firing az him un-
til Ridgely bad been shot he then hoye
to with riddled rigging and an indented
bow. The police boat did not make
any arrests. Rdgley was brought to

THE HAwAIIAN QUESTION.
hawaii VIII BE a Prominent subject OF
Debate i'm the senate.

Debate in the senate.
WASHINGTON, D. c., December IL
For the third week in succession,
Hawaii promises to be the important
subject before the Senate. The Presi-
dent will tomorrow comply with the
request Of both houses Of Congress
for copies OF all the recent cores spOud-
snce on the Hawaiian question, and
10 is considered almost certain
taat, whatsoever condition OF af-
fairs the correspondence and the
message accompanying it may reveal,
the Senate will find ia 10 text for nu-
rnerOus speeches. The programme for
tomorrow in the Senate Includes the
reception OF the Presidents Hawaiian
message and speeches by Senators
HansbrOugh and DClph, the former iu
explanation of the bin for the eXter-
minatiOn OF the Russian thistle
and the latter on the sub
ject Of the tariff. The remainder
OF the week, not given uptO Hawaii,
will In all probability, De devoted TO the
consideration Of mp3ratively unim-
pOrtant bills on the calendar, OF which
there are a large number. Many of the
Senate committees have been turning
out work at a rapid rate during the
TWO weeks Of the session, and as conse-
duence, the calendar is much longer
now than 20 was 40 the beginning of
The session, Notwithstanding the Senate
has passed large number OF
bills FOR the time it has been in session.
III the nomination Of Judge HOrnblOwer
as Justice Of the Supreme Court should
be reported by the Judiciary Committee
40 los meeting tomorrow, which is bv
no means certain, there will De an effort
10 have the nomination confirmed dur
ing the week, and as there is likelihood
OF some opposition 90 this combination,
considerable time may be spent in exec
itive session upon the subject.
Che only measure OF national
ipOrtance upon the calendar
position to be taken up for final dis
itiOn IS the Federal Election bill.
q its consideration az this time is
.rred by a stipulation between the Re-
.nblican and Democratic members that
10 shall rest where it is until after the
Christmas holidays There is 8 desire
on the part OF Senators generally that
the Christmas recess shall begin on
Thursday Of this week, but the House
will probably be allowed 20 name the
day. It will noe be later than Friday.
