saying that Admiral Demalles has in

In consequence OF this announcement
arrangements have been made to re-
move the foreign war ships and the

WASHINGTON, D. O., Sept. 1s.-When

present. The National Furniture Man

Mr.. Hitchcock asked that the com
mittee should not disturb the existing
rates OF duty on plate glass. He as.
serted that the industry here presented
had already accomplished what the
committee sought to secure by reducing
rates, viz: lower prices to the coneu-
mer. This had been accomplished by
competition and the utilization OF i'm.
proved machinery.
7. Austrian, of Chicago, said his conl-
pany desired no protection. All they
asked was to have German looking
glass plate under five feet square placed
on the free list. During his remarks
Mr.. Austrian said that the duty im-
posed on looking glass plates was not a
protective duty, as the foreign manu-.
facturer did not have any competition
here.
"Do you mean to say that you want a
revenue abolished?" asked Mr.. Reed.

WASHINGTON, D. O., Sept. 1s.-sena:
tor Faulkner has prepared and will
probably introduce tomorrow, his
amendment to the pending bill for the
repeal of the purchasing clause Of the
Sherman act The amendment will not
deyiate from the lines indicated by Mr..
Faulkner in bis speech Of last week,
but will contain some details providing
for the execution Of the provisions OF
the amendment If It should become a
law. Discussing the proposed amend.
,ment to-day, MI. Faulkner said he
had not yet canyassed the senate
upon the amendment aud was
not, therefore, prepared to say
whether it would command sufficient
vote to secure Its acceptance. He. has,
however, received many assurances OF
good will towards the principles sug-
gested by the amendment from mem'
bers who express their willingness to
support 1t in case they find it satistac-
tory in detail. It is believed with the

Gates representing the more corserva::
tive element of that side who will
probably cast their votes for an amend-
ment giving silver the limited recogni-
ton proposed by. the amendment.
On the other hand it is definitely
known also that the influence of the ad-
ministration will be exerted in opposi.
tion to this, as to all other compromises.
whether the amendment would be able
to secure a majority vote despite this
opposition, can only be ascertatned BY
acanvass Of the senate and possibly by
ayote. It is not expected by any one
that the amendment when introduced
will be taken up for immediate action,
or until the prepared speeches already
promised and known to be in ptepara-
tion shall have been delivered.

THE cHINEsH LAW.

The Administration Alters Its Determl'
nation..-The President Favors 1naction
by the House.
wAsH1Saros, D. O., Sept. 1a-The
administration has altered its determi-
nation with reference to the Everett
bill extending the time limit allowed
under the Geary act for Chinese to
register, to September /, 1894. Last
night at conference held at the resi-
dence Of Secretary Carlisle at which, in
addition to the secretary OF the treas
ury, there were present Secretary Gres-
ham, Attorney General 0lney and
Representative Geary, Of California.
The members Of the administration
expressed the opinion that the bill
ought to be pushed through both houses
at once, and intention was manifested
Of insisting upon going ahead with the
bill in The house. Mr.. Geary, however,
pointed out the radical defects OF the
bill drawn, it is understood, by Assist.
ant Secretary Quincy, which would
render its effects negatory. He
also declared that the extern
sion Of the time of registration
should be reduced to six months that
the term "Chinese laborer" should be
specifically defined and that the wanted
a provision inserted for photographinR
ali Chinese who registered. It was final
" decided to agree TO these moditica-
tons and accordingly to-day the bill
was referred by the foreign affairs COM
mittee to a subcommittee that will meet
tomorrow night.
To-day it developed that Mr.. Cleve-
land himself is not anxious to press
the bill for fear that 1t will complicate
matters in the senate. ALI
In fact, he is in favor Of the house
folding It's hands and doing nothing
until the senate votes on the Sherman
repeal bill. This has been apparent
for several days with reference to the
Tucker bill repeating the existing fed
eral election laws.
Mr. Cleveland urged upon q promi:
nent house Democrat the expediency OF
inaction in the house. The President
is sanguine of favorable action on the
repeal bill in the senate II the atten.
ton Of the country can be focused
there. He thinks the Tucker bill would
arouse partisan rancor and possibly dis
astrously affect the fight in the senate,
aud he also believes that immediate
action on the Chinese matter in the
house by throwinga new bone OF con-
tention in the senate would be preiu.
dicial to the effort to secure the repeal
Of the Sherman law.

in spite Of the dispatches sent out by
tho Brazilian government, doubts are
expressed as to the loyalty of the forts
at Villa Caigen and other places in the
bay. It Is asserted that the garrisons
Of the bay forts will at the exchange Of
a few shots haul down their flag and
join issue with the rebels. The govern
ment, however, seems to be confident
that the garrisons Of the forts are loyal,
and that the troops in the city proper
in any case will support the present
authorities, even il the forts surrender.
The successful manner in which gov
ernment police and troops repulsed the
previous attacks upon Moth Eroy is
cited as evidence that the rebels will
meet with warm reception on all sides.
That the rebels have large number
OF sympathizers in Rio de Janeiro is
fact admitted even by the government,
for they give that as the excuse for sus-
pending telegraphic communication. II
further evidence OF the governments
unfortunate position and distrust OF
everybody and everything was needed,
1t is furnished in the scrutiny Of private
letters and all dispatches by the govern
ment officials. To such an extent is
this spying carried on that all mail
from suspected persons is opened, read
and destroyed II the government thinks
it advisable to do so.
President Peixoto's government has
scouting parties and troops all around
the shores Of the bay, which is seyen-
teen miles long and eleven miles in ex-
treme width. The entrance OF the bay,
however, is only about one and quar-
ter miles wide, which is two miles south
OF Rio, The entrance to the bay is said
to he planted with torpedoes, and the
failure OF the rebel squadron to put to
sea and make tor Santos 10 attributed to
the fear they had Of exposing them
selves to the fire Of the forts, and in
addition, to steaming over the torpedoes
placed at the entrance OF the bay for
their edifcation.
This torpedo-strewn entrance, or mar.
rows, Is guarded on the east by Fort
Santa Cruz, and on the west by o fort
situated on Sugar Loaf Rock. Admiral
De Mellos is said to have invited the
garrisons OF these forts to join cause
with the rebels, but, as reported, he has
met with a refusal! This story, 1t should
be added, also came from the govern
ment source. Further news from Rio
de Janeiro is anxiously awaited here.

that he called upon Mrs. Ketchum.
the lady with whom Miss Pollard
boarded most of her time while in Lex
ington, but that lady had gone to Chi
cago and he could not see her. To-day,
however, he found her at home, and sew
eral points of interest with which the
public heretofore have not been served
was the result Of the inter
view with Miss Hoyt, an elderly
maiden lady, living with Mrs. Ketchum,
who had charge Of Miss Pollard during
her stay at the Ketchum house. Miss
Pollard applied to Mrs. Ketchum for
board, stating that she had come TO Lex
ington to attend sayre Institute. She
was given room and always
paid her board promptly, ,hav-
ing the money on hand on each
pay day. The girl was then about sew
enteen years old aud said that she had
been attending school in Cincinnati,
but that she had completed her studies
and had now concluded to take q
course at the Lexington institute. She
had been at the house some three
months when Col. Breckenridge applied
for a room. He said he was tired staying
at the hotel; and that he had very i'm.
portant case in court that occupied his
entire time and attention, and
that he would like his meals
out in town. The room was
furnished and Colonel Breckenridge
had been in the house at regular inter
vals for nearly week before he met, as
far as Miss Hoyt knew, the young lady
in question.
L HoWoFer, Il appaars that the colonel
took dinner at the house one day and
Miss Pollard was at the table,. Colonel
Breckinridge took his seat, speaking TO
all az he entered and hence the formal.
ity OF an introduction to Miss Pollard
was not needed.
After Miss Pollard had been at Mrs.
Ketohum's six or eight months the re.
port came from Cincinnati that she had
gone out driving with Colonel Brecktn.
ridge in closed carriage behind two
fine horses, snd remained away from
school all night. 5.....,.
James Rodes paid her tuition at
sayre Institute and called as frequently
as he was permitted to see her.
Col. Breckinridge occupied his room
at Mrs. Ketchum's some three or
four weeks and during that time
none of the family suspected
that any undue relations existed
between the colonel and the young
woman. The information comes from
close friend of Col. Breckenridge that
he will return to Lexington within the
next week.
Through the same channel the state.
ment is made that Colonel Brecken-
ridge will prove Miss Pollard confessed
to him that she had been ruined by
James Rhodes.
