DOUBTED IN. WASHINGTON.
Officials in the Capitol City Doubt
the Story.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-The Asso-
sociated Press has Investigated every
possible avenue of information in
Washington as to the rumors in Per-
nambuco that Rio had fallen and that
President PeiXoto had resigned and
was prisoner. But neither in official
nor diplomatic circles has any word
been received whichY confirms the
rumors. This failure of all departments
and interested legations to receive in
formation, much less ratification of
such an important subject. is Souniform
as to lead officials and diplomats
to the conclusion that the ru-
mors current IN Pernambuco are
premature at any rate. At the navy
department no word of any such start
ling movement has been received from
Capt. Picking, in command OF the
United States naval forces at Brazil.
He is directed to report promptly on
any important changes of the situation.
and has thus far done so. The sup
preston of dispatches by the Peixeto
authorities does not extend to official
dispatches from naval and diplomatic
officers. The conclusion in naval circles
is almost irresistible that the failure to
hear from Capt. Picking means that
the Pernambuco IumorS are not true as
yet at any rate, particularly as Picking
is at. the scene of action, while the
Pernambuco people are many miles re-
moved from Rio. At the state depart
ment there is no word whatever from
Minister Thompson or any one else in
Brazil. and the department officials can
hardly believe that they would be :

French Catholics Rejoice Over
the Chicago Election.
MONTREAL. Dec. %. = The French
Canadian Catholic press of Montreal
and Quebec is very enthusiastic over
the election Of John Hopkins. the
Catholic mayor of Chicago. Prom
inent French Canadians in Chi

that 6.OoO French Canadians voted
for him and assured his election. La
Minerve adds that the election of a
Catholic in Chicago is a great event.

many leaders of states, seeing that the
city expends S3s,0OO.0 600 annually-as
much as the whole of Canada. Though
the late Mr.. Harrison did much to
give the Catholics their due share
of patronage, much still remains to
be done. 1t would be a mistake,
says La Minerve, to believe that the
enough for Catholics. They merely have
the crumbs of patronage. This is quite
evident when we remember that the ten
millions Of Catholics in the United
States have not single representative
in the Cleveland cabinet, though 1t
owes its existence to them. We
are far from being of the opin-
ion of his lordship, Mgr. Ireland,
when he lauds the United States as be-
ing the ne plus ultra of tolerance and
Christian civilization; but every time
that our neighbors will break down the
barriers of prejudice and initiate the
example of the Catholics of Maryland
we will always be happy to appreciate
their movement, and we may hope that
at not distant date new era will
dawn for our co-reiigionists on the
other side of the border.

HARRISON TALKS AGAIN.
The Ex-President Makes Quite an
AfteP-Dinner Speech.

After-Oinner Speech.
PHILADELPHIA. Dec. 22.-Some of
the leading lights of oratory, literature,
politics and journalism met ex-Presl-
dent Harrison this evening at the
thirteenth annual festival of the New
England Society of Pennsylvania. The
soeiety's banquet board was spread
at the Continental hotel. Pre-
ceding the banquet was an in
formal reception to the ex-president.
Charles Emory Smith was the toast
master. Mr. HARRISON sat at his right,
and ex-senator Edmunds, of Vermont,
on his left. The president of the So
ciety, after brief speech, introduced
ex-President Harrison, who spoke to
the toast: 1.-THE President OF the United
States" The speaker said he felt that
he owed something to Mr.. Smith be-
cause he had appointed the latter to an
office which did not pay his expenses.
He expressed his gratitude 10 the people
of Philadelphia for their cordiality on
his embarrassment on being called upon
to compete with so many bright minds
IN all after-dinner speech.
'1t occurred to me today" he added.
ito inquire why you had to associate
six states in order to get up a reSpecta-
BILE society. Ii you would adopt the
liberal charter measure of the Ohio
society, have no doubt you could SUBJ
divide yourselves into SIX good socie-
ties. The Ohio society admits to mem-
bership everybody who has lived volun-
tarily six III onths in Ohio No in
voluntary resident is permitted to
come in. But the association of these
states and the name New England is
part of an old classification of the
states, that we used to have in geog
raphies, and all that classification is
gone except New England and the
South. The West has disappeared and
the Middle states cannot be identified.
Where is the West? Why. just now at
the point of that long chain of Islands
that put OFF from the Alaska coast. and,
if L am to credit what l read, for l have
no sources of information now ex-
cept the not absolutely accur-
ate newspaper press, there are
somer who believe that there
are wicked men who want TO
hitch the end of that chain on to an
other island farther out in the sea. If
that should be done the West would be-
come the East, for l think the orient
has generally been counted to be the
East. l would not, however, suggest a
division of the New England society. 1t

LEARNED IN ST. PAUL.

An acquaintance of Mr.. How in this
city said yesterday that there IS no
question that the funds of the bank are
in good shape. The bank with which
Mr. How was connected has reserves in
the First National bank and the Ger
mania bank,of st. Paul, and the balance
in the First National bank of this city
is a considerable sum. The bank at
Shakopee has been managed recently
by Cashier John Then. On account of
a disease, Mr.. How was absent from the
bank for four or five months during the
spring and last summer. He returned
about June l, and it was supposed that
he was fully cured. Within the past
month the disease broke out anew. and
made him despondent. He had built
block of houses in ShakOpee, which he
could neither sell nor rent. and derived
no revenue therefrom. 1t seems that
this worked upon his mind and so un-
settled it that he committed the rash
deed in Il delirious moment.

). SALT LAKE, Utah, Dec. %. - BY
presence of mind and prompt action on
the part of several members of HOyt's
"Trip to Chinatown" a terrible tragedy
was averted at the Salt Lake
theater this evening. About 8
o'clock Oscar B. Young. a crazy
son OF the Mormon prophet, Brig
ham Young, burst open the door of the
|; theater box Office. Before the aston
ished treasurer and manager could col
lect themselves. Young strobe into the
theater, around to the stage door and
dashed across the stage. The curtains
were down and the actors dressing for
the second act. Young is a man
of powerful physique, having till
recent years been a blacksmith. Into
the first dressing room he broke, and
stood frothing in passion before Harry
Connor. the "Welland Strong" of
HOyt's noted play. After trying to lock
the door. he demanded the key OF Con-
nor.
"Pll teach you. you - =, to go to
New York and talk about the Dan
ites,'" he said.
With torrent of oaths the madman
pressed upon ConnOr. Instantly recOg
nizing that he was in the presence of
madman, Connor gave quick leap out
of the door. The ladies in the adjoin-
Ing rooms screamed. At this moment
the property man, Antoine VaZZa-
noyich, match in strength and
size for Young, leaped upon the
mailman from behind and pinioned
him. Just then boy was passing with
two swords nsed in the play. With the
strength born of madness, Young re-
leased himself, grabbed sword and
commenced plungIng at those around
him. Again the massive property man
caught him from behind, at the same
time catching the hilt of the sword.
Those of the ladies who had not tainted
rushed to their rooms.
"Don't lynch me, don't lynch me-"
cried Young.
He was forced into the street. a
policeman called, and, still raving, was
carried to the station. Young mas
long been regarded as daft, and
OF late has shown dangerous ten
encies. Those who know the
man regard the lucky outcome of the
stage encounter as little short of mirac-
uIous. Young's presentspell is said to
be the result of financial troubles. He,
had no acquaintance with any one in

PERNAMBUCO. Dec. The most
startling and sensational rumors ale in
circulation here, and as they come from
various sources and directions, it
would seem that the report which
is causing SO much commotiOn is
widespread. According to this re-
port, which reached here from Rio de
Janeiro today. the insurgent fleet, after
two days OF desultory fighting with the.
government troops, have made deter
mined and successful attack upon Rio
de Janeiro. which has resulted in the
capture of that city. 1t is added that
President Peixoto has resigned the
presidency in favor of Admiral de
Mello, and that PeiXoto is prisoner in
the hands of his enemies. TheseAare
the facts as they have reached us here:
but it is right to add that the authorities
of Pernambuco, who have been ques-
toned on the subject, doubt the truth
of the startling news which is in general
circulation here. The Associated Press
correspondent is doing his utmost to
find out the real facts in the case, but
he is unable to obtain any reply to his
messages sent south, and messages
from the Associated Press correspond
ent at Rio have, apparently, been
intercepted. which would give
color TO the report that something
of an extraordinary nature has oc-

and the government forces is reported
to have taken place yesterday in the in
