court yesterday afternoon. After the
complaint had been read the clerk an
nounced to the prisoner that the court
would explain his rights and the neces-
sary steps to be taken in the case. To
this HornSby replied by saying that he
understood the matter thoroughly and
did not need any explanation. lie ac-
cordingly waived examination, and was
held to await the action Of the grand
jury.
Special Detective Heeney, who capt
ured Hornsby after his escape from
Chief of Detectives McGinn, was highly
cOmplimented yesterday for his assist
ance, and it is almost certain that when
vacancy on the regular detective force
occurs Heeney will be promoted Chief
of Detectives McGinn is out with a red
fire story as to the manner in which
Hornsby was located and arrested by
him, which at this particular stage reads
quite thrilling.

Minnesota's State Building to Be

Hon. John J. Furlong, of Austin, one
of Minnesota's worlds fair commission
ers, was in the city yesterday. With
President Monfort, of the commission,
he called On Gov. Nelson.
incidentally, the matter of dedicat-
ing the Minnesota building was consid-
cred. The proposition has been, since
the legislature cannot attend officially,
to have semi-official dedication of the
magnificent state, building June l. Now
it is proposed TO dedicate about the 18th
of the present month. The Minnesota
Editorial association goes to Chicago on
the 18th, and interested parties consider
it would be appropriate to have the
dedicatory ceremonies occur while the
editors can participate. Gov. Nelson
and staff, it is understood, would take
part and thus make the event notable.
If the decision on the matter is made
soon many Of the legislators would also
attend and enllyen the occasion. Most
assuredly, the splendid building of this
state deserves formal dedication.

HONOR TO GERAGHTY.

Citizens of RosemOunt Give the
Customs Collector Royal Send
Off.
A merited tribute was paid to the
popularity of the recently appointed
collector for the port of st. Paul, John
c. Geraghty, last evening by the citizens
of Rosemount, his present home. by the
rendering TO him of reception and old
fashioned chariyari in the public square
of Rosemount.
There was an immense bonfire pre-
pared in the middle of the square, and
after Mr.. Geraghty had been lured to
the spot by number of friends Mr..
Hines. mayor of the town, fired the pile
amidst the cheers of the crowd. He
then touched the match of eloquence to
a complimentary speech, in which he
said a number of very nice things about
their honored fellow citizen. The guest
of the evening responded feelingly. and
after general ha1fdshaking and words
of goodbye the meeting was broken up.
Mr.. Geraghty will remove to st. Paul

GARDENING.

Gladys got some garden seeds,
Trusting little maid.
Picked them out with greatest care,
Talked about them everywhere;
Planted them with earnest prayer,
And little spade.
Then there came a fall of snow,
And solid freeze.
Gladys, taken by surprise,
Bravelv dried her trimming eyes,
Sent around for new supplies,
Warranted to please.
Hardly were they in the ground
When busy hen,
Seeking sustenance, laid bare
All the cause of so much care;
Gladys wished that she could swear,
And began again.
What the next mishap will be
Gladys doesn't know.
But if patient labors pay,
She will have fine display
In her garden plot some day
1t is doubtful, though.

BRAZILIAN REBELS

Deny the Report That They Desire the Em-
pire Observation-Disclosures at Rio Suspend-
ed and Shipping Communication Ceases.
MoNTEvIDEo Dec. 14.-It is believed
here among Adm. Mellos friends that
Adm. Saldahana de Gama's manifesto
only declared his adhesion to the revo-
lutionary movement in Brazil, and did
did not contain any expressions favor
ing the restoration of the monarchy.
When he assumed command of the
rebel fleet left by Mello in Rio harbor,
he went aboard the Litertad and made
her his flag ship.
The Herald's correspondent In Rio
Janiero sends word that the situation
there is very serious Wednesday; that
all business is suspended and shipping
communication with the capital has
ceased since Tuesday. The only cause
for this which can be surmised is that
Admiral Mello is now blocl1ading the
entrance of Rio harbor by means of the
Aquida ban and Republica.
Cobras island and Euchadas is in the
possession of Admiral De Cana. The
former is well fortified, and is contin-
ually firing upon the custom houses
and naval officers with small arms. 1t
is dangerous to land.
Cobras and Euchades are both islands
just off Rio. They lie in the inner
bay, and are north and west of the
town of Rio. Their possession by the
insurgents is looked upon by naval Of
fcers as being the most important ac-
QUESTION yet make by that side. Cobras
is only short distance from the city's
shore, and looks directly upon the ar
of small arms

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-To consider

government toward it was the subject
which Friday called out u full meeting
of the house commerce committee.
Senator Frye argued that the govern
ment could build the Nicaragua canal
for s75, 900, OOo The bonds would sell
readily while bearing interest of only a
per cent that would make the interest
money and repairs not exceed So, 500, 600
per annum.
The government control would per-
init lowering rates. yet 81 per ton profit
would result at that figure. After an
address by Senator Morgan, Mr. Storer,
of Ohio offered "A resolution, which was
unanimously adopted, providing for the
appointment of three senators and six
representatives, each to be appointed
by the presiding officers of the two
houses, TO proceed as soon as possible
and make personal inspection of the
route. The resolution will be reported
to the house Sasurday.

MINISTER WILLIS,
u II Thought, Disobeycd Instructions -
the Hawaiian A fnir.

WARRINGTON, Dec. 14.-The news
from Hawaii leaves no further doubt
In the minds of the members of the
signs upon the government of Hawaii
failed utterly. 1t is believed the whole
truth of the matter will never come
out. Many democrats believe the poll.
cy of the administration to be unlaw-
ful, and think that this country was
saved from disgrace by the discretion
of Minister Willis in not carrying out
his instructions.
The opinion is very widely expressed
that Mr.. Willis alone saved the admin
istration from being placed in posi-.
tion from which 1t could not be ex-
tracted. If there were any written in
structions to MIR. Willis they bear un.
mistakable orders TO use force to re-
store the queen. The administration
would undoubtedly be officially con.
demned by congress, as these instruc-
tions We're not carried out, but it is be-
lieved that the instructions which
would bring condemnation upon the
administration were not put in writing.
However this may turn out, the
question raised by Senator Hoar as to
the legality of Blount's appointment as
paramount commissioner without the
consent of the senate will be pressed,
as it presents questions enough in
itself to embarrass the administration.
The only way that Mr.. McCreary,
chairman of the foreign affairs COM
mittee of the house, got his democratic
committeeman to stand by him in deal
ing with the Hit resolution was by
the declaration that he assumed, upon
positive knowledge, that when Willis
instructions wese received they would
be found not to contemplate any act of
war against Hawaii.
This Is directly contradictory to tho
declarations in Cleveland's message.
Mr. Haiti forced the house committee
on foreign affairs to the consideration
of his resolution instead of postponing
1t until Thursday.

FOREIGNERS
Arc Interested in the Proposed Tari6
Changes Ambassadors and Ministers In

~
Ciiangcs--A Ambassador and Ministers In
Washington Keeping u Watchful Eye.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 16 The proposed
tariff changes will very much affect the
trade with other countries. Ambassa-
dors and ministers locatc< Mt Washing
ton are keeping q watchful eye on
every phase of the tariff development.
Most of the foreign representatives
have secured copies of the bill reported
by the ways and means committee for
transmission TO their respective gov
ernments. 1t will interfere with com.
mercial treaties and compel an entire
readjustment of our treaty relations.
This is the true case of the Brazil
reciprocity treaty negotiated by Mr..
Blaine; Spain, with which Gen. Foster
affected treaty and other South
American republics.
Senior Don E'Demuruaga, Spanish
minister said the treaty conferred many
commercial benefits to the United
States. American flour was admitted
into Cuba at much lower rate of duty
than before. This feature resulted in
the shipment of thousands of barrels Of
American flour to Cuba. Many other
articles of American production were
also admitted to Cuba and other Span
ish colonies either free of duty or at re-
duced duties. On the other hand Cuba
received benefit by the remission of
duty on raw sugar.
AS to tobacco also, the commercial
relations between the countries will
undoubtedly be aided by q reduction Of
duties
The Japanese minister is interested
in the progress of the tariff bill. At the
legation it is said Japanese silks are
used in enormous quantities in this
country. AS the silk schedule of the
tariff bill is very lightly touched there
is likely to be little change in the jap
anese expectation.
