DAMAGE AT RIO.
Result of the B0mbardment of the InSur.
gent Feet.


BUENos AYREs, Sept. 15.-It is almost
impossible to obtain further news
from Rio de Janeiro at present.
After the bombardment Of Gam
boa ceased on Wednesday even
ing the authorities of Rio de Janeiro
admitted that the damage done
was far more severe than they were at
first willing to admit. On Wednesday
the housetops Of Rio were crowded
with people watching the shrieking
shells as they whizzed through the air
The fire of the rebels seems to have
concentrated upon the arsenal and
navy yard near Gamboa. One shell
struck the national museum on the
Campo St. Ann, but did little
damage. The Passeio publico, Santa
Theresa Hill, the Largo da Lafao, Gloria
Hill and other places were struck,
while crowds of people were gathered
there. The hotel Dos Estrangeiros also
had shell drop in its vicinity. A shell
fell through the roof of a house
and exploded in the cellar, wreck
ing the building and burying an old
woman in the ruins. However, the
sum total of the injury done to Rio is
small. There are people who claim that
some of the shells which fell in Rio
came from the guns at the fort.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 14.-Some
members are inclined to grumble at Mr..

the immense patronage Of the public
printing into the hands Of the
printing committees, which they
consider an unnecessary cOnceDtra-
ton of power This is not stated
in concise terms in the lengthy
measure, but would be the result Of its

which it would do is to abolish the
House document room. Down in this
room in the catacombs of the capitol
are the only complete files extant of the
congressional documents since the Four
teenth Congress. They constitute an

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 14.-The

The little newcomer will be christ
ened as soon as Mrs. Cleveland is able

This name is known to be a favorite
of Mrs. Cleveland. After Baby Ruth

she ever had another daughter she in

NEARING a SUSPENSION.
Carlisle suspends the Issuing OF
Gold Certificates.

WASHINGTON, April 15.-Secretary
Carlisle to-day directed sub.treasurers
throughout the United States to issue
no more gold certificates at present. In
doing so he simply obeyed the law which
provides that the secretary of the
Treasury shall suspend the issue of
such gold certificates whenever the
amount OF gold ooin and gold bullion in
the Treasury reserved for the reSemp.
tion Of United States falls belog one
hundred million dollars.
In explaining his action on this sub
ject, Secretary Carlisle said this after.
noon that while 500, 900, 900 gold re-.
serve had not yet been reached, he was
so close to 1t that prudence dictated
that mol gold certificates should be
issued: The announcement that, for
the first time since specie paw.
ments were resumed. 1t was neces-
sary to stop.the issue of gold certificates
was Followed by rumor which was
heard at the capitol and elsewhere,
That the President had decided to issue

protect the gold reserve in case It be-.
came necessary.
Secretary Carlisle was asked: sis
the rumor true that 1000, goo of bond
have been issued2" He replied: uSix
millions OF bonds have not been issu ed. +"
The Secretary did not state implicitly
that no bonds were to be issued.

AFRAID OF MAY DAY.
European Governments Alarmed at tho
Danger of SociallstIc Outbreaks.

European Governments Alarmed at the
Danger of SocialistIc Outbreaks.
LONDON, April 15.-Adyices from
Berlin, Brussels, Vienna and Other
European capitals state that the authori
ties are looking forward to the socialist
demonstrations Of May Day with even
more anxiety than last year.
Especially is this the case in Bruss els,
where the exciting events of the past
few days are believed to be forerunners
OF the more desperate struggle to come.
1t is reported that the Belgian authori-
ties have information showing that a
conspiracy exists for the overthrow OF
the monarchy, and the establishment Of
a republic and that the conspira tors
count upon French sympathy, if not
upon French support.
The Berlin authorities will probably
refuse to permit any socialist demon
stration on May Day, or only under
such rigorous limitations az to prevent
the possibility of an outbreak. The
Prussian government fears that an ex
tensjve demonstration might be seized
upon by the anti-semitic agitators to
raise riot against the Jews, which, in
the present temper OF the working
classes, would not be difficult.
In Paris the authorities view the sit.
uation with calmness and seem to have
much less apprehension as to the
future than /, exhibited in other
European cities.
