VIII DODGE MELLo.
Tia New Brazilian Fleet WIN Try and
Avoid a Battle at Sea.

NEW YORK, Nov. 20.-Brazilian Minister
Mendonca visited the Nictheroy before she
sailed. lie said he was satisfied that the
boats which are going from this country
to Brazil would reach their port of destina-
tiOn without trouble. He, however, is Of
the opinion that if the Nictheroy chances
20 meet one of Mello's vessels, such as the
Aquidaban, she will undoubtedly be sunk.
I'VE do not expect any such thing, how
ever, for the Nictheroy will do her best to
keep ont CT the way. She is not fit to bat
tie with warship like the Aquidaban, but
| am sure that she could defeat most of the
other vessels belonging to the insurgent
fleet"
The second cruiser Of the new Brazilian
fleet will, according to Minister Mendonca,
be ready for sailing some time the latter
part of this week She will follow directly
in the course of the Nictheroy, and until
she sails Tia Brazilian minister will re-
main in this city looking after the arrange
ments
On Saturday he received a dispatch from
the governmental party in Brazil stating
that the situation had not materially
changed within the past few weeks. He
did not, therefore, believe that there is any
truth in the report that Mello has already
put out to meet the new cruisers.
The Brazilian minister stated that the
cruisers which have recently been pur-
chased by the Brazilian government would
rendezvous in one of the northern ports OF
Brazil, and that they would be met in all
probability by two of the largest warships
there. The Brazilians expect to reach port
in safety more through their speed than
their fighting power. The boats which
go from here are capable of a speed Of Is
knots, while Mello's vessels cannot steam
faster than Il or 10 knots, at least those
which could afford any practical opposi
tion to the Nictheroy or the Britannia
The precautions taken in supplying the
vessels so extensively undoubtedly mean
that they will stay at sea rather than fac'
a battle with any of Mello's bigger war
ships

RAILROADS sWINDLEp.
Counterfeiters Worked or over 500, 900
Worth of Bogus Tickets.

Worth of Bogus Tickets.
CHICAGO, Nov. 2O.-Itis alleged here that
counterfeit tickets to the amount of over
100000 have been accepted since Oct. by
the Baltimore and Ohio, Erie, Nickel Plate,
Pittsburg and Western and other eastern
railroads. The counterfeit in each case
was so good that not only were the tickets
accepted without question, but were passed
by the auditors of the roads.
The first intimation Of crookedness was
discovered in one of the offices through the
duplicate numbering In one day nearly
300 duplicated tickets showed up in the
collections, and a panic reigned in the au-
diting department.
Each of the tickets read from Chicago to
New York and was worth Sls The one
days collections showed the company had
honored az least 8 400 worth of tickets,
for which it had not received a cent of rev
enue.
The roads are determined to bring the
criminals TO justice and are bearing the
cost jointly. Upto date they have expended
over Sll 600 in securing proof which, it is
confdentially believed, will land the Grim.
inals IN the penitentiary for long terms.
There is no way Of knowing how many
tickets were sold by the counterfeiters
The railroads now have in their possession
about 5000 worth, more than half OF
which were honored for transportation.

SAN Francisco, Nov. 20.-A newspaper
correspondent at Honolulu sends the fol-
lowing, which was written few hours be
fore the steamer Australia left Honolulu
for San Francisco on Nov. IL:
The new minister has made no sign as TO
the Cleveland's policy in regard to us, but
he gives mysterious hints of some un-
pleasant duty yet TO perform. What this
is we cannot learn. ! know that the gov
ernment has received nothing from him up
to the steamers leaving, either officially
or otherwise.
The paper also contains the following
interview with II. W. Severenoe, ex- United
States consul general at Honolulu who ar
rived here on the Australia;
what will the provisional government
do when demand is made that the queen
be restoredgn
Mr.. Severance replied, "They will prob
ably at once cancel the exequatur of the
minister making such an absurd demand
and cause him to return to this country"
And rs to the queen"
"Oh, she will have been disposed Of.
"What do you mean-that she will have
been killed."
'No, nothing Of the kind said Mr..
Severance, There will be no bloodshed.
She will be out Of the country. She will
have been deported. This move was con
templated, and twas even spoken of In the
newspapers, but it was considered mad
visable, for then il was believed that the
great United States would listen to reason
and such harsh treatment would not be
necessary. The provisional government
stands ready to carry out the suggestion
the moment IL seems necessary for the
safety of the powers that now rule the

Violence as Yet.
PHILADELPHIA. Nov 20. - Reports re-
ceivcd by the general grievance committed
at the Bingham House indicate that the
Iehigh Valley railroad strike Is Of a much
grnver nature than the railroad officials
are willing to acknowledge.
Vice President Theodore Voorhees, stated
that his information was TO the effect that
all trains on the road were moving The
only desertion from the ranks Of the em-
ployees. so far as he had learned, were two
telegraph operators, several iiremen and
one or two engineers The small number
of men who had quit on account Of the re-
fusal of the company TO reinstate dis
charged operator had not hampered the
road to any considerable degree. When
questioned as to the alleged omission Of
certain clauses or paragraphs In his official
bulletin posted along the line last sum
mer, which is said 10 have stated the com
pany would respect certain alleged rights
of the employees, he denied the assertions
ia the most emphatic manner.
Calls wilkins a Liar.
"Tell Mr.. wilkins, with my compli-
ments," he said, that be lies when he
says any such admissions have been made.
We do not apprehend much il any trou-
BILE from now on, as il does not appear to
be as much of u strike as one might be led
20 believe from the manner in which the
men have acted. -
When Chief wilkins who is chief Of the
| grievance committee, was informed OF Vice
| President Voorhees, statements, he said:
1--WE have documentary evidence TO sus-
/ tain us in our sta3ements and will say f..r-
ther that ] most heartily return the COM
| pliments of Mr.. Voorhees, which have been
transmitted TO me. Never at any time
have we asked the reinstatement OF Mr.
| Hughes, the discharged operator. But
when he (Voorhees) was asked to receive
the committee, he exclaimed, Ask me to
do anything in reason, but do not ask the
company to back down from the stand ib
has taken.
"He doesn't want the company to back
down, but he does want us TO do so. Well,
we won't We are IN the field TO stay and
will win IL for the men. They failed ia
have the promises made by the company
fulfilled and came TO the grand officers as
the last resort TO assist them"
