The Brazilian Revolution.

BUENos AYREs, Sept. 15.-It is al
most impossible to obtain additional
news of the bonn bardment of Rio
Janeiro. After the bombardment on
Wednesday the authorities OF Rio ad-
mitted that the damage done was
more severe than they were at first
willing to admit. The government
no longer attempts to conceal the fact
that 'few people were killed" and
some buildings damaged. 1t is known
that numerous buildings were struck,
but whether the shells were intended
for the city or the arsenal cannot be
determined, though it is known that
the firing was very wild. The rebel
gunboats fired from the shelter behind
the islands which dot the bay, so the
fire from the forts was ineffective.
The firing is said to have been re-
sumed yesterday, with about the same
results as the day before.

TERRIBLE FOREST FIRES.
Wisconsin Towns Wiped Out

LOSS OF LIFE NOT KNOWN.

Order in the Senate, While the Dis
cordant Elements in the House Are
Fighting Over the Federal Election Law

MILWAUKEE, Sept. 15.-The dis
1 patches this morning from a score of
northern Wisconsin cities tells story
of great loss by forest fires. Marsh
field, Junction city, Desterville,
Prentis, Spencer, Medford, Rhine
lander, Stevens Point and other
places with population of from one
to six thousand are surrounded by
the flames, and are in the greatest
danger of being wiped out. Every
thing between Dabier, Wood county,
and Nocedah, Janean county, on the
Milwaukee and ST. Paul railway is
burned, Dexterville is threatened
with annihilation. Hundreds of
scattered dwellings known to be in
the path of the flames are doubtless
burned. No loss of life is reported,
but that all of the settlers in the
burned district escaped is impossible.
Every square mile is a vast timbered
district of Wisconsin, ,as dry as tinder,
and the flames swept without check.
The losses will doubtless run into the
millions. The district already fire.
swept and that threatened includes
nearly one-third of the state of Wis
consin, and is overhung by a pail of
smoke reaching from Lake Michigan
to Lake Superior, and from the ex-
treme eastern border of the state to
the Mississippi river.
Advices of the railway offices here
are to the effect that the flames swept
everything between Babcock and
Nocedah, distance of twenty miles.
The country is sparsely settled, 80 the
damage is only to the timber. The
fires are very bad around Merrill,
Pine River Heights, Combs, Dany,
Runkles Mills aud Rudolph, all
small places.
MERRILL. Wis.,, Sept. Is - Pine
river settlement, near here, is wiped
out and a score of buildings burned.
The people saved themselves by de-
scending into wells and covering
themselves with wet blankets.
SPENCER, Wis, Sept. 15-Minnville
village of two hundred inhabitants
was destroyed by the fires. No loss
of life is reported.

HANCOCK, Mich, Sept. Is The
train on the Mineral Range railroad
was held up between here and Cal

morning and robbed OF $4,000 OF
Calumet and Hecla mine money.
Everything is in "a turmoil. No blood
was shed.
The Mineral Range road is mar
row gauge between Houghton and
Calumet. with several branches. The
Calumet and Heela mines employ
two thousand men and pay them on
the 10Th of the month. The money
today was sent from eastern banks,
and the robbers were evidently ac-
quainted with the circumstances.
There were four highwaymen; two
covered the engineer and fireman and
the others ordered the express mes
senger to put the contents OF the safe
in bag which the robbers carried.
The messenger handed out 10000,
when the robbers ordered the engin-
eer to Ego ahead in a hurry" which
he did. The deed was accomplished
so quickly that the passengers were
unaware of the trouble until after the
train started.

support Of the bill.
At the conclusion of Lindsay's
speech Morgan CD of Alabama spoke

HOUSE.
The battle over the Tucker bill to
repeal the federal election law was
resumed this morning. The Repub-
cans are again filibustering.
Burrows renewed his motion to dis
pense with the call for committees in
order to prevent the bill from being
reported, and roll call was ordered.
Reed walked up and down the
aisles, shaking his head, and the Re-
publicans obeyed their leader and re-
framed from voting.
The administration Democrats fed
to the cloakroom to avoid answering
to their names.
The vote resulted: Aye l, noes 146
no quorum.
1t developed gain of 40 votes for
the Democrats, but still leaving them
81 short of q quorum.
A call of the house was then or
dered.
The call developed the fact that
237 members were present.
The filibustering was ended by the
arrival on time of the special order
for eulogies on the late representative
Chapman of Michigan. A number
of eulogies were pronounced.
