American Merchantmen Unable to
Land Their Cargoes.
Washington, Dec. 21.-A cable message
from eight commanders of American mer-
chantmen, at present anchored in the
harbor of Rio Janeiro, protesting against
alleged interference with their rights by
the insurgents. was received by Secre-
tary Gresham yesterday, and by him sent
to Secretary Herbert, as it concerned the
authority of the war vessels of the United
States. The merchantmen contended
that they were prevented by the con-
stant firing between the insurgent and
government forces, from landing their
cargoes at the custom house, although the
regular government had given them per-
mission to do so, and they asked that the
commanders Of the American cruisers be
instructed TO see that they were not de-
barred from their privs!ege. Secretary
Herbert has decided that he has no,author-
ity to instruct Capt. Picking in the prem
ises, and that attempts TO land cargoes
from American ships by means of lighters
or otherwise must be made at the risk of
the commanders, Notwithstanding that
and German vessels.

NAPOLEON. O.. Nov. 20. 1s93.-Charles
Davis aud Leonard Forsythe vera suits
ors for the hand of Margaret Jarrett in
Ridgefeld township. Both the young
men were handsome ana wealthy. and
the lady was slow to chose between

and that the fight had progressed about

THE NEW TARIFF BILL.

Very Few Changes Will Be Made in the
Existing Internal Rev enue Laws.
WASHINGTON, Nov. %. 1893.-In the
tariff bill, which Is 10 bs ready for public
inspection Move nber 81. no changes will
be made in the existing internal revenue
laws. unless some increase is made
in the whiskeY tax. The rate Of
increase has not been decided upon
aud depends somewhat upon the estl-
mates of the Treasury Department for
the amount OF revenue needed aud the
rate which is fixed upon finally for the
income tax.
Several members of the Ways and
Means Committee think that an increase
OF ten cents e ulou on whiSkey. which
will Id $l0,000.000 annually TO tns reve4
nues. will be sufficient. There are others.
however, who favor a much higher rate
aud say that the tax ultimately may be
placed not lower than S1.20 gallon.
No change will be made III the tax on
beer, on manufactured tobacco or on
cigars. There has been a disposition TO
increase the cigar tax from So Go S. DER
thousand. but the manufacturers have
resisted it srrenuously aud the committee
believe chat it will not be necessary with
the increase on wusksy and the revenue
from the income tax. There will
probably be q red uction In the customs
duty on SUM ira tobacco which is now So
on.unstsmmed aud 81 IS on stemmed. The
COMMITTEES consider this rate excessive
and will probably reduce it from 80 cents
TO 81 per pound.

EPIDEMIC OF BOMBS.
Attempt to Blow Up the Office Of
the Mayor of TorreDte.

MADRID, Nov. 90, 1s93-A despatch
from Valencia stat es that great excite~
ment has been caused at Torrente, six
miles from Valencia, and in Valencia
itself by an attempt that was mede this
morning to blow up the Office of the
Mayor Of Torrente. There is no clue to
to the authors of the outrage. Two bombs
exploded in the Office, but the damage
was slight. How the bombs got into the
office is unknown, as since the Barcelona
and Marseilles outrage close watch has
been kept on all strangers entering public
buildings The bombs did not explode
simultaneously When the first explosion
occurred those in the Office made rush
for the doors Before all We're out OF the
place the second bomb went off, causing a
genuine panic. The officials, clerks and
others, refused for some time to go back
into the office, fearing that other bombs
were hidden there. 1t was not until the
police had made thorough search of the
building that work was resumed.
The police at Barcelona and elsewhere
are still conducting an active search for
Anarchists. Last night, in making
house to house visit the police at Huerta,
short distance from Barcelona, came
across bomb mandatory. The occu-
pants of the place had fled in haste, prob
ably having received warning of the CONS
ing of the police. Six bombs loaded with
dynamite were found, and also the shell
of another containing no explosive. Every
effort is being made to locate the people
who occupied the lodgings, but thus far
without success.

verelY for his misconduct.
He was today held by Judge Hudspeth
on charge of receiving stolen goods
and the Judge directed the Prosecutor to
lay the facts OF the case before the Grand

ment against Nelson.

done so had not the boy handed him r

from the parents of the boy. It read:-

to him. He said he simply went into
Nelson's pawn shop and said:-
Give me seventy-flve cents on dis 'ere

Nelson, without comment, took the
ring aud gave the bog the money.
