HE'S NOW IN THE OPEN SEA
Getting Ready for the Arrival OF the
Governments New Squad From
New York-A British Gum
boat Follows Him.

LONDON, Dec. L. Advices from Rio
Janeiro say there is no truth In the report
that President Peixoto was assassinated.
He was to-day engaged in repairing dam
gerous breaches in the forts and earth
works. The dispatch contains a report
that Mello left Rio with a portion Of his
fleet to intercept the vessels coming to
Peixoto's aid. There was some desperate
fighting between the rebel ships and tho
forts Mt the entrance to the harbor as
Mello tried to go out. The firc of tho forts
was well directed and Mello succeeded in
getting past only after his flagship had
been severely damaged. Once outside he
steamed southwardly, but 1t is believed
that this was only rusc and that the ad-
miral changed his course as soon as he
was out of sight. II - reported that Mcllo
is not scared at tho reported power of tho
dynamite gun on board ono of the vessels
of the relieving squadron. He took with
him number of fast steam launches for
Use in the coming encounter. IL is said
that Mello has much moro wholesome
fear of the fast torpedo boa;s which the
coming squadron brings with il.
An official dispatch has been received
BY the British government saying that
Admiral do MelIo, on board tho flagship
Aquidaban, accompanied by an armed
merchant vessel, succeeded in forcing his
way out to sea Mt midnight last night in
spite Of n heavy fire directed upon the two
ships by the forts at the entrance of the
hay. A British gunboat followed the
Aquidaban to sea with the intention, il is
believed, of being present at the future
naval operations between the ships Of tho
rebel admiral and the vessels being sent
TO reinforce Peixoto from New York. II
is also said that the commander of the
British giinboat has orders to interfere
should tho rebel admiral molcst vessels
flying the British flag.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-To-day's meet.
ing of tho ways and means committee
was brief. The estimates to be submitted
showing the probable difference In reve-
nue. that would result from the new bill,
are not complete aud the committee ad-
journcd to Monday to give Clerk Talbett
and his assistants further time for the
labor of estimating the revenue to be de.
rived under the now tariff. The bill has
progressed far enough 10 warrant the
statement that on tho basis of the i'm
ports of 1882, the loss Of revenue result-
ing from tho enactment Of the new bill
would be about $50 900 per annum. 1t
is tho conclusion Of Chairman Wilson aud
his democrat associates that importatious
will be stimulated undcr the now bill and
the loss OF revenue will not be more than
S35. .OO0.0Ol.
Mr.. Tarsney Of the ways and means
committee still clings to the belief that
the deficit cannot be supplied without ex-
tending the income tax to individuals. ~

quircd. hardly think we could get along
without the help from personal income
tax. IL an income of moro than 5000
were taxed ut the rate of per cent. it
would put into the treasury more than
$40, ,O00, ,0OO.'
The democratic members of the com
mittee on ways and means will meet to-
morrow afternoon to further consider tho
income tax and tho internal revenue
schedule. Expressions of members of the
committee give no reason for believing
that the increase Of the whiskey tax will
exceed 10 cents and some think il doubt
I full whether there will be any increase.
The subcommittee is debating tho advis-
ability of making any increase i'm the
whiskey tax applicable to all whiskey on

into effect.
Senator Dolph of Oregon announces
for consideration he will present an his.
torical address for the purpose of proving
that tho United States never had any pres
perity except when there was protective
tariff, and from the colonial days. free
trade has meant debased labor. Repre-
sentative Holman favors an income tax as

HokE SMITHS REPORT.
A Wise Forestry system II Recommended
Among Other ThinCs.

A Wise Forestry system R,commen nded
Among Other Things.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The secretary of
the interior in his annual report reviews
the work of all branches of tho depart
ment during the past year. He comments
on the utter inadequacy of the legislation
thus far enacted to provide for the legitI-
mate procurement OF public timber to
supply the actual necessities Of the people
dependent upon it. To promote the set
tlemcnt and develop tho natural resources
of public lands, legislation providing for q
wise and comprehensive forestry system
is recommended. The secretary discusses
at length tho opening of the Cherokee
outlet. He recommends substitute for
the present system of settlemeut--the
adoption by congress Of somo plan which,
by auction, lottery or otherwise, may do
termine in advance the ownership Of each
particular section.
The work of tho Indian bureau shows
steady advance In civilization. II is a mis-
take 10 suppose that their number is rap
idly decreasing in the country. Tribal
wars and wars with whites having ceased.
they arc increasing and now number
more than 10000. Tho recent troubles in
tho Choctaw nation are touched
upon at length. The secretary urges
the prompt passage of bill now pending
before congress extending the jurisdiction
of the United States in the Indian Terri
tory SO as to include tho right of removal
OF all cases where local prejudice Is shown
without regard TO citizenship.
Tho secretary states that he now feels
all confidence that every effort is being
conscientiously made to bring the federal
census to a close and to render ID as use-
full as possible when finished. The sccrc.
tary states in the estimate of expenditures
for the department that great ma jority
Of proposed improvements were rejected,
only those actually necessary for the con-
duct Of public business being adopted.

TOOK POISON TOGETHER
4 Double Suicide in Chicago With a
Very French PlaYOr.
THEIR FUNDS HAD GIVEN OUT
She Couldn't Co Back to Her
Husband. and So They Re-
solved to Give Up
and Die.

CHICAGO. Dec. LIN the Virginia hotel,
located in the heart of the fashionable
residence district on the north side. a dra-
matte double suicide occurred this MORN
ing. Behind n door, bolted and double
locked, were found the bodies of Victor
Cyrien. a drug clerk. and Mrs. Caron, wife
of the druggist for whom Cyrien had for
merly worked. The woman died by poi-
son, while Cyrien. after taking poison,
shot himself three times and lay stretched
across tho foot of the bed on which tho
woman lay.
Tho couple registered under n false
name as man and wife at the hotel last
Thursday. and apparently were very
happy. When the door was forced this
morning both were found dead. Evi-
IDENTITY they had been dead several hours.
Letters were found ON tho center table
written by both parties 10 their relations,
bidding last farewell TO dear friends and
announcing their purpose to die together.
Mrs. Caron wrote bidding farewell to her
husband and her little child: $50 young.
what will she do without n mother" Cy-
rieu wrote: "She died Mt half past five
this morning. can't write, can't open
my eyes,"
IL is evident from tho letters that both
had taken poison at tho same timc with
the agreement that the one surviving the
longer should die by a pistol. Cyrien had
boarded with the Carons while working in
tho drug store. The intimacy between
the clerk and the wife of the proprietor
was noticed last summer, but not by
Caron himself until three weeks ago,
when he found them i'm n compromising
situation. Then Mrs. Caron aud Cyrien
disappeared at once. Neither was we'll
supplied with money and when their
funds were exhausted by the high rates at
tho fashionable hotel they agreed to COM
init suicide as a solution of their troubles.

READM1TTED INTO GERMANY.
ny Close Vote the Reichstag Decides
That the Jssuits May Enter.

BERLIN, Dec. Tho centrists In tho
rcichstag to-day introduced n motion to
rcadmit members Of the Society of Jesuits
into Germany. Count nopmesch Ruincb,
In behalf OF the centre party, made
short speech in justification OF the motion.
Mateugel declared that the conserv ativcs
with few exceptions would oppose the mo-
tion. Morbach. impcrialist, and Mar
quardsen, national liberal, stated that
their parties would also oppose tho mo-
ton. HollefufTer, German conservative,
said he and some of his friends would alb
stain from voting. Lotxe, anti Semitic,
said his party would vote as they chose.
Schrcner announced TINT the Frcisinnige
party would votc against the proposition.
The reichstag by votc of l13 to l6.
adopted the centrists' motion to rcadmit
Jcsuits into Germany. When the cheer
ing over tho result subsidized, Lieber spoke
saying that the Catholics adhered to tho
course they had hitherto followed and
would remain faithful TO tho emperor and
empire and loyalty devoted to the Father
land. loud cheering.
Dr. Licbcr, after declaring that the Cath
Ollie church required the services OF Jesuits
in order TO enable il TO dischare it's divine
church to the effect that II was pursuing a
policy inimical to German national inter-
ests. Cardinal Rampolla. the papal secre-
tary OF state. continued DIR. Licbcr, only
recently declared that the holy see avoided
all interference in political organizations
both Of the dreibund and the powers op-
posed, but, DIR. Lieber asserted. II IL should
ever occur that the holy see displayed an
intention to pursue q policy friendly To
the Russo-French alliance, German Cath
olics would no, allow their interpret tation
Of the dogma Of papal infallibility to be SO
stretched as to deter them from fulfilling
their political duties to the German pco-
pie and to tho German empire.
No member Of the government party
took n share in tho debate. The vote will
have no practical result. II is has been
fully understood from tho first that the
government would not accept tho bill, and
tho ccnterists in bringing tho motion TO a
vote only wished to prove their ability ia
command enough members to embnrrass
the government and carry other points.
