THE zoo SHOULD HAVE THEM.
A Suggestion About the Wild Animal
at the Fair.


A well-known business man Of Washing
ton said to a Star reporter today:
"On recent visit to the worlds fair 7
noticed. in connection with the exhibits of
several foreign countries, wild animals
which added materially to the attractive
ness of the various exhibits with which
they were connected, and in this connection
II has occurred to me that many of these
animals might easily be procured without
cost for our Geological Park, and thus add
materially to the attractiveness of what
promises to be a very interesting feature of
our already 81 eat store house of curiosities
In regard to the prospects Of securing these
animals, or at least many of them without
cost, l would remark that foreign exhib-
iters would be able to realize but little by
the sale Of these animals in this country.
and the cost Of returning them to their
native country would probably be more
than their value at home so that IL a way
were opened up by which these foreign ex-
hibitors could receive in return for animals
presented to the National Geological Park
Association an official letter Of acceptance
and thanks they would no doubt regard
and treasure that much more than to real
ize the intrinsic value of the animals, and
at the same time we would reap a good re-
suit for the enterprise in question"

BOMBARDMENT ABANDONED
Guns Dismounted and Admiral Mello Will
Spare Rio
The Secretary of the Navy Receives
Probably No Further Attack.

The most important news concerning thu
Brazilian revolution since its inception ha.
been received by the Secretary of the Nayy
In a cable dispatch from Capt. Picking the
commander Of the United States cruiser
Charleston, at Rio, as follows:
Admiral Mello having been informed thai
the government will dismount guns in the
city said he would not again fire on the
place."
This undoubtedly means that the threat
ened renewal Of the bombardment of Ric
Janeiro has been abandoned. and it Is sup
posed that the truce between Mello and
Peixoto was arranged by the commanders
OF the foreign vessels stationed in the har.
Dor to guarantee protection to the interests
OF their respective countries. The full i'm.
port OF the agreement cannot be determined
from Capt. Picking's telegram, but 1t is
probable that its effect will be to transfer
hostilities from Rio to other places In
Brazil.
The telegram published this morning O,
the capture by the British navy Of a man
projecting an attack on the insurgent fieei
refers to the Boynton incident previously
detailed in The Star.

hours or the fleet will resume its lombard

The diplomatic corps Is in favor of
Peixoto withdrawing from Rio, as 1t be-
iieves such a course on his part would
terminate the war.
Peixoto however. refuses to yield and is
making fresh preparations to carry on
operations with greater vigor than he has
yet shown.
The diplomatic corps in Rio Janeiro has
notified Admiral Mello that he must alb
stain from throwing shot and shell into the
undefended parts Of the town, otherwise
me foreign ships in the harbor will be or
dered to prevent him from bombarding the
town.
The New York World has the following
special from the same place: The diplo-
matte corps al Rio de Janeiro has requested

FOR A COMMITTEE.
Senator Harris Wants One to In
vestigate the Disaster.
FORDS THEATER TRAGEDY RECALLED.
To What Extent is the Govern.
ment Liable, is the Question.
BILLS MAY BE REPORTED

Senator Harris today introduced into the
Senate a resolution providing for an in
vestigation into the Fords Theater dis
aster by select committee of five Sena-
tors. This investigation will be more for
the purpose Of ascertaining the legal re-
sposibility Of the government for damages
than to fix the personal responsibility tor
the accident.
II Is designed to facilitate work upon the
various bills Of relief that have been intro
ouced In both the Senate and the House,
which must necessarily hinge upon the
legal liability of the government. Yet it is
probable that such a committee IL organ
ized. would demonstrate many Interesting
facts about unsafe buildings, and perhaps
VIII outline a theory or a policy for the
government to pursue in the future in re-
spect to such matters. The resolutions, a

senators be appointed by the chair to in

port to the Senate whether. in equity and
Justice. the government should compensate
the sufferers of that disaster for the injuries
sustained by them, and If 1t shall be decided
that tney should be compensated then the
committee will investigate each Individual
case and report the amount of compensation

BE II 1urther resolved, That the committee
may employ a clerk who is a stenogranhar

SANDY HOOK, Oct. 7.-Sunshine, blue

men and patriotic citizens this morning.
Heavy rains during the night had ceased

was to be seen. Thousands Of citizens of

craze left their homes and their everyday
occupations and embarked on all manner
OF things that float in order to see the race.

to see Uncle Sans boat defend the cup and
preserve it or perish in the attempt. Thurs
days experience, though IL ended In a.
fuke demonstrated the fact that the two
yachts are well matched and that the cup
defender will have no walk-over this year.
Yachting sharps have said this all along
and some of them have predicted victory
for the British boat, but the great Amer
lean public, basing its opinion for more
American victories and inspired by feelings
OF patriotism, had confidently expected to
see the Naikyrie beaten with scarcely an
effort. Today they went down the bay ac-
knowledging that the Yankee boat had a
worthy antagonist. and anxious for a good
wind and a chance to be in at the finish.
The sporting men who had made bets at
almost anv odds on the Eigilant were In
clired to hedge. Anglomaniacs and true
born Britons wore an air of confidence, and
the experts were pretty evenly divided as
to which is the better boat. The prospect
Of a close race increased the interest in the
event. The race today was the same that
was laid out for Thursday. fifteen miles
out to windward or leeward from the light
ship and return.
On Board the Yachts.
The crews on board the Valkyrie and
Vigilant, which ley at Bay Ridge since the
iuke of Thursday. were early astir. There
were a thousand things to be looked after.
and those things had to be done thoroughly
and well. so no time was lost. Earl Dun
raven of the Nalkyrie showed his men a
good example by himself getting early on
deck, and Capt Cranfield. Designer Watson
and Sailmaker Ratsey were kept busy di-
recting them In the preparations for the big
race.
