Railroad Accidents-A Remedy.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:

10 the Editor OF The Evening Star:
The question is asked. is there no remedy
against railroad accidents? Suppose the leg
islatures. state and national. try the expert
ment of imposing fine upon the companies
of $4,000 for every life lost, the money to
be paid to the family OF the victim. The
railroad companies have peculiar monopoly
privileges granted them, and they have
come to think that the people have no rights
which they are bound to respect so far as
their tracks reach.
DR.. Claiming said that one human soul
was worth more than the whole material
universe; and railroad companies should be
made to regard human life to be worth
$4,000 at least PEDESTRIAN.

Bureau for Two Years.
Assistant Attorney General Hall of the
Interior Department has rendered an opin-
ion in which he holds that an application
for pension is money demand upon the
United States, and therefore under the law
an ex-ofical of the pension bureau is pre-
cluded from acting as attorney in pension
cases for period of two years next after
he shall have ceased to be such officer.
This opinion sustains the recent action
of Pension Commissioner Lochren on the

tice before the bureau on the grounds

About Opals.

The prejudice against opals appears to
be disappearing. Anyhow they are pop
ular. There are several varieties of opals
and therefore several degrees of merit.
The precious, or noble, or oriental opal
is the supreme. This has all the colors,
and when these colors are broken into
spangles it is then called the harlequin
opal. Then comes the fire opal, or gira-
sole, with hyacinth red and yellow refec-
ton. The former comes from Hungary.
the latter from Mexico. The common,
or seiniopals, are nonopalescent. The hy-
drophane, or oculus mundi, is nontrans-
parent, but becomes so by immersion
in water or any transparent fluid. The
cachalong is nearly Opaque and of a blu
;sh white color. The hyalite is colorless.
pellucid and white. The opal jasper or
wood opal is the petrifaction of wood,
opalescent, but without the coloring
which makes the noble" gem so pre-
cious.--Chicago Tribune.

Causes Which Led to Mello's
Rebellion.
President PeixotO's Perfidious Abuse
of Power.
Tho Republic Governed by Avarictous
Adventursrs-The People Said to
Favor the Restoration of
the Monarchy.

Copyright, 1898, by the Associated Press.
LONDON, Dec. 5.-The Times tomorrow
will publish the following, dated No
vember l4th, from its correspondent at
Rio de Jsneiro:
In reviewing the causes leading up to
the revolt, the correspondent SAYS
with the fall OF Dom Pedro the aris-
tocracy withdrew all connection with
the government, and wealthy men in
office were replaced by needy sdven-
turers, whose sole object has been per
sonal gain. President Peixoto opened
his administration we'll by cancelling
the decree permitting the Bank OF the
Republic to continue the emission of
notes, which had been done in the in
terest of ring spectators. But hopes OF
reform were soon disappointed when he
began removing the governors OF states
in an underhand manner. Thence
onward he took the bit in his mouth and
made a series OF blunders and set aside
the spirit and letter OF the constitution
in every way"
The correspondent then proceeds to
show President Peixoto's alleged
breach of faith regarding Rio Grande
do Sui, by prosecuting those who had
been engaged in the revolt, which
action led to the presdent's rupture
with Admiral Mello, who resigned the
Office OF minister of marine in conse.
quence. much eympathy," the cor
respondent adds, was shown in Rio de
Janeiro for the people of Rio Grande do
Sui who had been engaged in the revolt,
and popular subscriptions were opened
between May and August, 1898, for the
relief Of the ineurgent sick. These sub
scriptions were crowned with success,
and it is said the constantly swelling
fund was very CALLING to President
Peixoto and led to its prompter, DR..
Govern, being i'm mprisoned."
Coming rapidly to the history OF the
present time, the Times correspondent
says: November 9TH the insurgent
leaders held conference on board the
warship Aquidabsn and discussed the
question of establishing the monarchy
in Brazil. 1t was then shown that the
states of Pernsmbuco, Bahia, Santa
Catarins. Rio Grande and majority OF
the population of Minas Grascas, Sac
Paulo and an important section of the
city of Rio de Janeiro favored a return
to the monarchy. Thereupon 1t was
decided that the efforts of the insur-
gents should be directed to that end.
The fact that General Pogo. we'll
known monarchist, is in command OF a
division under President Peixoto, and
that Colonel Mendez, violent opponent
of frepublicanism, commands the national
guard, is positive proof that there was
no intention when the revolutionary
movement first broke out of any at
tempt to re-establish the monarchy. 1t
was an afterthought, engendered by
the wishes of the people in various
parts of Brazil, and it is yet to bs seen
whether the insurgents will make it the
aim of the present struggle. A Brazil
ian in high Office has just remarked to
the Times correspondent that he be-
lieved the end of the war would see the
finish of the praetorisn system of gov
ernment in Brazil, no matter which aide

A BRUTAL CRIME.
The Murder of stanovich by Landman
At Del Mar.

The Murder of stanovich by Landman
At Del Mar.
SAN DIEGO, Dec. 5. The friends OF
John Stanovich, who was ehot by
Gustav Landman, near Lueardi. Sunday
afternoon, attacked the Del Mar jail last
night, supposing Landman was there,
having determined to. lynch him. The
entire structure was demolished, but
the prisoner had been removed for
safety to this city. Today he was taken
to Del Mar for preliminary examination
and held in $4,000 bail. In default OF
this he was lodged in Jail tonight in
this city. Stanovich at last accounts
was sinking and his death is expected
before morning. Later details OF the
shooting show the crime to have been
one of shocking brutality. Stanoyich
was in the roadway near Landmarks
place, smoking, when the latter OBJ
served sparks falling from his pipe.
Pretending that these would set the
grass on fire. he ran at once to the
house for his gun and on his return
after few words, shot squarely at Stan
ovich. The charge entered the latter's
breast, tearing gaping hole and scat
tering 25 buckshot in his body.

The Story OF thu Battle st Young
Cabin OFT Retofd.


The Story OF thu Battle az Young's
Cabin OFT Retoid.
FRESNO, Dec. 5.--In the Evans trial
the greater part of the day was devoted
to testimony as to the battle at Young's
cabin. AL Witty of Modesto, brother OF
George Witty, one of the men wounded
in the first fight at Evans house in VII
salia, testified that he was in the fight
at Young's cabin. He told of conver-
sation at Coffee's cabin between Vic
Wilson and Clark Moore. Evans former
mining partner, and man who was
supposed 20 be implicated in the robber-
les. Witty heard Vic Wilson say to
Moore: "You are doing good deal of
running around, and the only wish I
have for you is that you will be found
with Evans and Sontag at the round
up"
Witness then recounted the incidents
OF the fight ct Young's cabin when the
bandits fred upon the posse without
warning, and of the killing OF Vic Will
son and McGinnis.
Frank Burke, a deputy sheriff OF
Yuma, Arizona. and Warren Hill, the
Sanger constable, also participants in
the battle, were examined at length.
Hill was asked whether he had not
asked Clark Moore to lead Evans and
Sontag into q trap where the posae
could get them, and whether he bad not
offered Moore his share of the $4,000
reward. He admitted that he did.
Moore replied: "Warren, Chris Evans
has always been my friend. We have
worked together and the Southern Pa
cific and Wells-Fargo have not money
enough to bribe me to betray Evans
and Sontag."
Edwin Wsinwaring, who was at
Young's cabin on the day of the battle,
and when Evans aud Sontag compelled
him to cook breakfast for them, was on
the stand when court adjourned.
