NEw YoRK, Nov. A. = Scarcely day
passes without some addition being re-
ported to the fleet that President Peixoto
Of Brazil is organizing here to fight his re-
bellious admiral. The latest purchase re-
ported is that OF the submarine torpedo
boat Peacemaker. This boat was designed
and built In 1884 by John p. Holland. and
had an official test In November Of that
year. At that time IL succeeded fairly

The Pescsmaker Is about the size OF an
ordinary steam launch. When on the sur
face the boat stands only few inches
above the water. The Object of the weasel

her to Brazil.

HELPED by CONGRESS.
Business Men Already Feel the Beni-
hcencs Of Repeal.

Business Men Already Feel the Bsni-
ncencs Of Repeal.
NEW YORK, Nov. 4-Dun's Weekly Re-
view says: The repeal of the silver pur-
chase act does good already. The business
world In every part Of the country reckons
Il helpful and the tone Of trade IL more
confident. 1t is hardly time an yet for the
effects to be felt to any great extent In
manufactures, but bankers are more lib
eral in accommodations and merchants
more hopeful In purchases.
The action Of congress had less visible
influence upon speculative markets for
products, In part because foreign markets
obstinately refused TO accept the higher
valuations which spectators here tried to
establish. Though people across the
water award unstinted praises to those
who secured the passage OF the repeal bill,
there IL not much disposition to pay
higher prices on that account for wheat or
cotton.
The industries could not be expected ia
make any material gain as yet. in conse-
quence of new financial conditions, but the
demand for textile products has to some
extent improved. Carefully scrutinized,
the increase of orders appears to be almost
wholly due to the gradual exhaustion of
stocks in the hands Of dealers, wholesale
or retail, and not as yet to any appreciapls
increase in sales to consumers.
In boots and shoes somewhat better
demand appears, and yet not enough to
keep the works fully occupied, aud the
shipments from the east are for the past
month 2sS, ,S67 cases, against 3s5,62S last
year. The volume of domestic trade gains
ut little, exchanges outside Of New York
Icing 22.9 per cent lower than last year

An Old Farmer and His Daughter
ShockingIy Treated.
ERIE, Pa, Nov. 4--Three masked bur-
glars made a raid on the Crowieys, wealthy
farmers in Harbor Greek, early yesterday
morning. Failing TO find money in Mrs.
John Crowley's house, they demolished
every article Of furniture in the house with
axes.
Entering the home of Bartholomew Grow.
ley, aged 80 years, they shamefully abused
the old gentleman and his daughter, Mrs.
]. II. Carey.
After beating and threatening Mrs.
Carey's life II she did not give up the
money, they began to cut the rings from
her fingers, slashing her hands In fright
ful manner.
While engaged In that brutal work they
were interrupted by old Mr.. Crowley.
Shutting Mrs. Carey up stairs they turned
their attention TO her father. They beat
and choked him alternately aud then
poured oil over him and were about to set
fire to him, when they heard Mrs. Carey
jump from the second story window.
Fearing the alarm they abandoned their
dendish work. Mrs. Carey managed to
elude the robbers and reached neigh
boris house where she is being cared for,
but her physician says she cannot recover.
The fiends escaped.

Naval Department Relieved, as Some
Anxiety for Her Safety Was Felt
WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-Late last even
ing Secretary Herbert received cable
message from Captain Picking, In oom-
mand of the United States naval forces ae
Rio Janeiro, announcing the arrival of tho
cruiser Detroit, Commander Brownson,
there. Beyond this information there was
apparently nothing new concerning the
Brazilian situation at the navy depart
ment
The arrival of the Detroit caused Secretary
Herbert and naval officers generally con-
siderable relief, not on account of the ad-
ditional strength her presence will give to
the American squadron at Rio, bat because
thors was much anxiety felt over her safety,
In view Of the belief that she is somewhat
top-heavy, like the Machias and other
vessels.
When Secretary Herbert was seen he
said he did not care TO say anything about
matters at Rio. Concerning the reports of
sensational happenings there affecting the
United States, Mr.. Herbert said that IL
people wished ''to oonjure up ghosts" of
serious occurrences they were At perfect
liberty to do 20.
The fitting out Of armed vessels In this
country for the use of the Brazilian gov
ernment In the revolution has suggested
enquiries a. TO how far this movement of
President Peixoto can be carried without
fracturing orr national obligations Of non-
interference
