LONDON, Nov 1.-The Times has the
following advices from Rio dc Janeiro :
The armed steamer Urano. while leav-
ing Rio on October IS, was hit by o
she'll, badly damaged, and forty of her
crew were killed. The insurgents
have plenty of munitions of war ard
decisive action By Admiral Mello is ex-
pected shortly. The Republica ram
med the transport Rio de Janiero which
was conveying LOO troops to Santos,
and 800 of the troops were drowned.
Admiral Mello denies that he has any
direct intention of restoring the En-
p;re."
New YORK Nov. IA Herald RIO
special says the prevailing opinion is
that Admiral Mello is likely to be
caught like rat in a trap in the bay Of
Rio Janciro if the powerful fleet which
Peixoto is gathering arrives before
Mello gains decisive victory. There
is no change in the situation III Rio,
aud the opinion seems to be now that
Mello will be defeated if he does not
win signal victory before Peixctc's
newly purchased ships arrive.

A special from Williamsburg says:
't'Mrs. Andrew Betbune was burned to
death yesterday. Two children at play
in the room are supposed to have set
fire to the bed in which she lay sick,
and in an effort to stay the flames she
lost her life.
\ railroad wrecl. almost within the
city limits of Norfolk occurred on the
Norfolk Terminal Road, near the Nor
folk city street car stables, at an early
hour yesterday morning. Two men
met death, and several others were
hurt. The collision was due to an open
switch said to have been left misplaced
by the conductor of the last train that
had passed through it. An unusual
feature of the wreck is that three
trains were involved instead of two. a
long line of coal cars (without engine
was standing on the centre of three
tracks, and a freight train was APP
preaching from Lambert's Point, whilea
coal train was going towards Lamberts
Point, each each engineer keeping to
his right. One train struck the cars
and threw them across the track where
the wreck was run into by the other
train with the above mentioned results.

THRILLING TALE OF PERIL.-Twelve
sea worn mariners, the captain and
crew of the bark Saigon, which was
lost at sea, arrived at New York on
Monday on the steamer Victoria, which
came from Mediterranean ports. They
told thrilling tale Captain Ellertsen
said that they left Quebec October Z
for Sunderland, England. On October
90, when 200 miles southeast from the
Grand Banks, a hurricane overlook
them. Later in the day they found
that the vessel had sprung leak. The
water poured in the hold until 1t
was seventeen or eighteen feet deep.
The hurricane continued for four days.
On the ODD il was found that the steer
ing gear was out of order. There was
then so much water in the vessel that
she went over on her beam ends. The
crew chung to the weather rigging all
night. The next morning life lines
were put up, onc-third of the cargo Of
lumber was jettisoned, and the main
mast and foremost were cut away.
The vessel partly righted, and the sail
ors spent forty-eight hours on the fore
castle head, exposed to the cold and
weather. At daylight on the oath the
Victoria was spoken. The steamship
lowered n boat, and the officer in com
mand told the crew ofthe bark to jump
into the boat. A score or more of hun
ory looking sharks had been around
the vessel for several days, waiting for
the crew to drop into the sea from the
rigging, and the sailors announced that
thew would take their chances on the
rigging rather than jump. There were
seven or eight of the huge monsters OF
the sea in sight all the time. Inc crew
at last made successful attempt TO
launch their own boat, which would
hold only six of them, and, while the
boat of the steamer stood by to battle
with the sharks, if necessary, the
bark's little boat went to and fro until
all were conveyed to the Victoria.

Now THAT the payment OF deOts on a
gold basis has been secured, some Sc
called democratic newspapers say Con-
gress should adjourn and postpone ac-
ton on all other matters before it until
the regular session, which will begin
next month. And yet among those
matters are the federal elections, the
tariff and the Chinese bills, the two
former infinitely more important than
the silver bill, and the latter, one that
would remove from the country the
stain of heartless cruelty to thousands
of its poor, inofiensive and industrious
foreign residents. But as Wall street
has been gratifed, the interests Of the
other parts Of the country can afford
TO wait :" in other words, that federal
soldiers may be at the polls, as can be
the case under the existing election
laws, and that poor people may be
forced TO continue to pay double price
for their necessaries OF life.

TIE FACT that only one sixth Of the
Presidents term of Office has expired,
and it alone, was all that influenced a
sufficient number of democratic Sena-
tors to unite with their republican col
leagues to secure the passage OF the sill
yer repeal bill, and two weeks ago his
strait was desperate, for all of his own
party in the Senate, exccpttive, deserted
him by agreeing to compromise pro-
viding for silver coinage. These five,
who among the faithless alone proved
true, are Messrs. Hill, Villas, Gallery,
Mitchell and Mcpherson. To them is
he indebted for his victory, and to them

Mr.. Bryan was then given permission
to make statement. He said that,
recognizing the fact that there were too
few opponents of the bill to make fill
clustering effective, he would not further
oppose its passage; if any good result
could be secured. he would gladly re-
fuse to vote, if thereby he could pre-
vent whathe believed to be the commits
sion ola crime against his people. In
conclusion he warned the promoters of
the bill TO beware of the consequences
