No New Treaty Between This Country
and Brazil.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.-The following
dispatch was received here to-day, dated
Rio de Janeiro, Oct. so, 10 a. m.
ut is stated that secret treaty between
the United States and Brazil has been
signed This treaty is said to be in addition
to the commercial treaty of 1891 and is said
to involve United States support OF Brazil
If the latter country asks for sIch support.
1t is also understood the United States is
pledged to support the Brazilian govern
ment against the effort being made to re-
store the monarchy. The rebel movement
at Bahia is believed to have been Influenced
by the monarchists, with whom Admiral
Mello might ultimately join issue. In this
case, 1T is said, the intervention of the
United States would be justified
AS soon as the above statement was read
at the State Department it was emphatical-
ly denied by the officials. The department
also denied the report that the United States
government is opposed to ships of other ma
tions being sent TO Brazil and expresses
the opinion that every foreign government
sends ships there for the same reason the
United States does-that is, to protect her
own interests. In further support of the
denial that q treaty has been entered into
the fact is stated that a treaty would neces-
sarily have been sent to the Senate for rati-
flcatiOn.

Youmans Representative of the House in
the last Congress, assailing the right of
William Linton TO represent the Eighth
Michigan district. This was the memorial

slant. He made the point of order that the
memorial was not privileged matter. The
Speaker supported the point of order. and
the resolution was referred to the commit
tee elections.
Mr. Linton said he was the member re-
ferred to in the memorial, and whose right
to represent the Eighth Michigan district
had been assailed He asked for full
fair and free investigation. and he did not
fear the result. Within the near future, he
said, he desired to speak the subject as
matter Of personal privilege.

SCANDAL AND SUICIDE.
An English officer and His Mistress
shoot Themselves.


LONDON, Oct. SO.-The Star to-day pub
fishes q romantic story which is said to be
a sequel to the suicide on Thursday last of
Captain, the Hon. Charles Howard, brother
of the Earl of Effingham, who killed him
self with a pistol at his residence, No. 81
Evelyn terrace, this city. Captain Howard
who was a captain in the Coldstream
Guards at one time, was married to the
eldest daughter of the Earl of Winchilsea
and Nottingham. According to the story
told by the Star. the death of Captain
Howard was brought about by his infatu-
alton for a young and pretty woman, who
shot herself on Saturday. A friend of Mrs
Bloss the young woman referred to, is
quoted as saying that Captain Howard
often visited her, and that some days
previous to his suicide the Captain was in
formed that his wife was aware of his in
timacy with Mrs. BloSs, and that she had
taken the steps necessary TO commence q
suit for divorce against him. The Captain
and Mrs. BlOSs appear TO have been so APP
prehensive of the result &c tho @--77~''~a
which the divorce proceedings would bring
about. and they seem To have Dt,.
fatuated with each other that they de-
termined to die in each others company.
With this object in view. Captain Howard
and Mrs. BlOSs are said to have purchased
poison with the intention OF partak.ng of
II together but something seems to have
ma de them change their minds. for the
Captain shot himself with a revolver ar
his home, where he was found dead nv
a servant sitting in Il chair in the smoking
room apparently asleep. Mrs. Bloss as al
ready stated. shot herself on Saturday.

to the Journal correspondent to-day, by a
member of the Senate committee on judi
ciary. that the confirmation of Hornblower
as Associate Justice of the Supreme Court
would not likely be made until Congress
assemblies in regular session in December.
Indianians dc not expect the Big Four
railroad tax cases to be argued before the
Supreme Court until December. There is a
bare possibility that Hornblower may be
confirmed after the silver repeal bill is
passed finally and before Congress adj
journs. 1t is the general belief that Con-
gress will adjourn before Saturday next.
