The Rebel Admiral May Destroy Pcix-
Oto's New War Fleet.

NEW YORK Nov. 1.-The Brazilian gov
eminent has acquired another vessel to add
to the fleet which il has already purchased
here The purchase made in Boston
through Charles r. Flint & Co., and the
vessel is the magnificent steamer Britain
MIA, of the North Atlantic steamship feet.
The price paid for her was sos, 900. There
are all sorts Of rumors afloat in mercantile
circles which have dealings with South
America regarding the Brazilian revolt.
The most sensational story is in regard TO
the departure OF the new Brazilian fleet
from this port. 1t is TO the effect that Ad-
miral Mello will send the cruiser Republica
up here 10 intercept FL Cid and the rest
of the new fleet of Peixoto as soon as it
gets off shore beyond the three-mlle limit.
Admiral Me!lo has an agent in this city
and is kept informed of all that is going
on here If he thinks it necessary he will
send another mau-of-war along with the
Rcpublica.
1t was reported here yesterday that nego-
tiations were in active progress for the
acquisition by the Brazilian government of
the war ships Montgomery. MachiaS and
Marblehead. a dispatch from Washington

ment Is without power TO sell any of the
United States vessels. Such a thing could

Secretary Lamont Submits an Ex-
nIannfiOn to- the House.

WASHINGTON, Nov 2.-Secretary La
mont to-day transmitted to the House all
the information which the department was
able TO gather in regard TO the conduct of
troops at the opening OF the Cherokee
Strip. There is an accompanying state
ment from General Miles. The investigation
was superintended by Col. L. NJ. Heyl, in
spector-general for the Department OF Mis-
souri,. The important part of his state
ment is the light it throws upon the killing
of John r. Hill, of Keansburg, n. ]. Hill
was in the line which broke about five
minutes before Y O'Clock, the time fixed
for the opening Several soldiers galloped
TO the front, calling upon the men To halt,
which was disregarded and the soldiers
began firing. The third shot fired by Ser
geant Willard, Troop G. Third Cavalry.
killed Hill. 1t was shown that the rush
was made five minutes before u, Hill
was killed at 1905, and he then was three
miles from the Kansas State line. The in
spector says that Sergeant Willard inter-
preted his orders literally. and was jealous
in the discharge of his duty. In conclusion.
the inspect general says the position OF
the troops was very trying, and there is
no doubt some i'll will was aroused among
the rougher element on account of their
not being able TO get into the Strip before
the proper time.

PLANS OF SILVERITES
They Will Issue all Address to the
Country on the Situation,
And Flood the Land with Bimetallist
Literature-Populists Happy-Pur-
poses of the A. 7. A.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-There was
meeting last night attended by thirty or
forty of the silver advocates, including
Senators and members of the House of
Representatives, and also other prominent
bimetallists, for the purpose of agreeing
upon a policy for future action in the
interest of silver legislation in view of the
repeal of the Sherman law. Gen. A. j.
Warner was chairman. 1t was agreed that
silver literature should be circulated, and
also that in the congressional and national
elections no partisanship should enter into
the fight. An address to the country will
be prepared. The Senate committee on
finance held meeting this morning to con-
slider measures for future action. 1t is
understood that the issuance of bonds and
the repeal of the State bank tax will be
strongly pressed by the respective advo-
Gates of these measures and that there will
also be a speedy and determined renewal
of the effort upon the part or the silver
advocates to secure the passage OF a free
coinage bill. 1t is, indeed, understood that
there will be an effort TO entirely reorgan-
iZe the financial policy of the country. Some
of the members Of the committee are under
stood to be of the opinion that an inter-
national agreement upon silver will soon
be reached.
The representatives of the Populist party
in Congress are elated over the prospective
result of the fight for unconditional repeal.

PETTIS DRY GOODS co
TO GET A CITY PARK
The Plan of Acquiring Land Along
Fall Creek Feasible.
Talk of Issuing BOnds-Nature of the
City's Liability on the Belt
Road Securities.

Some time ago President Wildman, of the
Board of Trade, presented a plan for con-
verting the strips of land along Fall creek
where it flows within the city limits, into
a park. The city is rapidly building to the
north Of the creek, and within few years
the creek lands will make an unsightly
break in the north part of the city unless
some steps are taken to beautify them.
The plan of converting the lands into a
park is feasible one, and has been gen.
orally recognized as a desirable one, the
only obstacle in the way consisting of the
difficulty in raising funds. 1t has been
suggested, since the unfortunate financial
depression, that many of the hardships of
winter which will beset the laboring classes
could be averted by inaugurating the
project submitted to the Board of Trade.
IL the funds could be raised a thousand men
might be employed this winter in grading
the lands, preparing driveways and other
wise laying out the park. Much OF this
work can be done in the winter. The ter
ritory contemplated for park purposes is
several miles in length.
The city's close approach to the maximum

pany is more in the nature of a guarantor
the city holding security for the bonds
which have been issued. 1t is a question
whether these 100000 in bonds would be
considered by the courts as a part of the
city's permanent Indebtedness, from the
spirit of the charter provision as a stand
point. If they are not strictly considered
a part Of the citys Indebtedness then the
city would be just that much snort of the
maximum. One-half this sum would give
the city one of the most beautiful parks
IN the country, a park approached from the
heart OF the city by two asphalt bOuevards
and one OF brick and two electric lines.
The adjacent property might be made to
contribute by an assessment of benefits.

WHY wELsHMEN ARE REPUBLICANS
Their Reasons Are Sound, Though the
Writer Does Not Think So.

John E. Owens, in North American Re
Why is it that the Welsh have. almost
unreservedly, allied themselves with the
Republican party? Is there an explanation
for their tenacious adherence TO this party?
The Welsh are Republicans through Varl-
Gus reasons, though in most cases they are
peculiar and erroneous ones. To UNDER
stand thoroughly this nationality'B affila~
ton with Republican principles. their poll.
tics in Wales must be also understood. In
England and Wales the Welsh, as a class,
are Liberals, and as they are steadfast in
the Republican faith of this country so do
they in their native home uphold the doc
trnes of the Liberal party. A Welsh Con-
servative-'"Tory"-is as uncommon in
Wales as a Welsh Democrat in the United
States. In brief. the Liberal party advo-
Gates home rule, the disestablishment OF
the English Church. the discrimination OF
Tithe payments and low tariff duties; in
fact, the principles of that party are analo-
gous to those of our Democracy. Conslder-
ing this fact il seems remarkable that the
Welsh should. in this country, advocate
principles that are entirely at variance win
those they so vigorously supported in
Wales. one of the first political errors
they fall into upon their arrival IN the
United States is that of associatlng the
Republican principles with those OF the
Liberal party This may be explained by
tho fact that the Welshman on bis arrival
here procures a ticket for some welsh set
Element During elections he becomes IN
terested in politics. One of the hrSt cues
tiona he asks on the subject is: which
countrv?" He is Informed that ii is the
Republican party, for his informants have
:, =. s..c sarle mistake that he is now
about to fall into. They tell him that the
Republican party is the party OF liberty;
that the Republicans preserved the MON
during the rebellion, and freed over 3.WOOD
slaves This has a wonderful effect on the
mind of the average Welsh Immigrant.
He is by nature-as are all the Melsn-
opposed TO anything that is oppressive; 10
recalls the struggles of his motheriand the
trials and hardships his forefathers suf-
fered in fghting for their country's indie
pendence. and if he knows 1t, that which
is opposed 10 liberty will not receive ms
support and vote. After being thus IN
formed concerning the alleged history and
achievements of the Republican party, he
declares himself to be a Republican with
out the least investigation on his part as 70
these facts That there were thousands on
Democrats in the Union army during the ~
bellion; that the founders OF Republicanism
Sumner, Chase and GTeeley-abandoned
that party before they died; that the prin-
ciples Of the Republicans in 1860 and those
of to-day are vastly different. II is suffi-
cient for him to know that the Republicans
were in power when the slaves were freed.
Tt is this which makes him believe that the
Republicans and the Liberals advocate the
same fundamental doctrines

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2-Representatva
Storer and Caldwell, of Cincinnati, called
on Secretary Carlisle to-day, and presented
a remonstrance signed by the brewers OF the
Queen City and vicinity against any in
crease of the tax upon malt liquors. 1t is
understood that the ways and means COM
mitteee have Practically agreed TO increase
the duty on malt liquor at least % per
cent, and there is a disposition upon the
part of many Democrats to increase it Is
per cent. The Cincinnati brewers argued
that the present prices leave very little
margin to the makers, and that any increase
in the tax would be disastrous to the bust
ness and work a hardship upon the con-
sumers. Secretary Carlisle said he would
take the protest under consideration, but it
is bslived that il will not have any weight
against the proposed Increase of tax.

Smith weighed 165 pounds when he toed

men were in good condition, and an excel

that other money is taxed, will not be re-

that if it were reported it would be over

held, is, under the Constitution, exempt
from taxation, being the obligations of the
