this time particularly interesting.

An evening paper last night an
nounced that President Hill, of the
Great Northern, had requested" ITO

tions of Cyrus Wellington. Col. A. r.
Wilkinson and Judge Campbell, in the
legal department Of the company, and
the right-of-way agent, Col. Crooks. A
GLOBE representative called OH Presi-
dent Hill and showed him the article.
MI. Hill expressed great surprise. and
acted much as though indignant over
the story. He CURLY cut the interview
short by saying: "This is news to me;
know nothing of the matter" and
ended by referring the reporter to the
gentlemen named themselves. Col.
Wilkinson was first seen. He denied
the truth of the report, as he put it,
collectively and individually" He
frankly admitted that there might be
Juggling about of positions in the legal
department. but this did not mean that
any decaprtations were to occur. 1t is
understood that this department is
likely to be reorganized. Col. Crooks.
the right-of-way agent, said his atten-
ton had been called to the article few
minutes before he was seen by the re-
porter. He simply said he knew moth
ing of this matter, and added: "This
report entirely new to me-" Judge
Campbell is at present in San Francisco
on account of his health, so he could
not be seen, and MIR. Wellington was
not visible. Thus the matter stands.

Mixed News From the Brazilian

Mixed News From the Brazilian
Revolution.
Copyright. 1891, by the Associated Press
PERNAMBUCO, Jan. 3.-Admiral de
Mello and his ships. the Aquidaban and
Republica, have not yet arrived off this
port, and it does not seem that there Is
any immediate probability Of naval
battle being fought here.
All information received here from
Rio de Janeiro from either side is more
or less unreliable; but it is announced
that the United States and German war
ships. acting in concert. have notiied
the rebel admiral that the fire of his
ships must be so directed as not to inter-
fere with the German and American
vessels at the anchorage now used for
the loading and discharging of mer-
chant ships.
According to the insurgent point of
view. President Peixoto is reduced to
the last extremity, and an early ending
of the civil war may be anticipated. If
the government reports are to be be-
lieved, Admiral de Mello is upon the
point of surrenderiug. as his ships are
III need of all necessarieS for continuing
war, and the sailors are grumDlng at
not receiving their pay and are anxious
to make peace with the government.
On the other hand, it is reported that
the insurgents have won most impor-
tant victory in the south, and that they
are rapidly advancing towards the cap
ital. Bage, which has been besieged by
the insurgents for some time past, is
said to have fallen into the hands of the
rebels, who are receiving relnforcements
every day.
Capt. Nunez, of the Nictheroy, seems
to have had more trouble with his crew,
and number of them arc ashore here
and determined to return to New York.
1t should be added that some of those
who were among the first to come ashore
have since returned to the Nictheroy,
and it is believed that this cruiser is
ready to put to sea. Some of the sailors
ashore speak in very harsh terms of
their treatment on board the Nictheroy
and the America. The United States
cruiser San Francisco, after coaling here
and taking on board water and light
provisions, will sail to the south today,
possibly touching at Bahia on the way
to Rio de Janeiro.
Admiral da Cana has reiterated his
assertion. made frequently within the
last month, that he has no intention of
advocating the restoration of the mon
archy, and again expresses hlS.willlng-
ness to resign his command if this step
will in any way benefit the cause OF the
insurgents.
The latest report received here is to
the effect that Admiral de Mello started
north to meet the Nictheroy, but. o II
hearing that she had been reinforced by
the America, the rebel admiral is said
to have put about and to have gone
southwark again.
1t is also reported here that number
of men are III irons OIL board the Nicthe-
roy, as well as on board the America,
and that serious disturbances have Oc-
Cured on both vessels.

the defendant guilty as charged in all

had made hard fight for his liberty
and had lost. Mr.. CanadaY, one of his
lawyers, Immediately entered motion

WASHINGTON. Jan "a Letter dated
Dec. 8 from Collector of Customs Clark
at Chicago received at The treasury de-
partment says the shipment of bonded
goods FROM Jackson park during the
past week showed little IL any improve

proximate estimate is that there are a
total of 23,654 cases packed ready for
shipment and shipping papers ready.
The cases shipped previous to Dec. &c
amounted to 1880. The estimate was
banded in Tuesday, the Goth. and shows
about 1000 more packages on hand than
on the previous Tuesday. and that the
packing and release of goods by the
customs is going on much more rapidly
than the shipments during the month
Of December.

RATHER OLD TO ELOPE.
But the Old Lady Came Of Ro-

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 3.-A somewhat SEN
sational story developed here today in
the discovery that Mrs. Alice Erskine,
of Higginsville, Mo-, and Charles j.
Williams, of this city, had been welded
at Belleville, H., secretly, some time
ago, having eloped therefor. Mrs.
Erskine is the six-weeks widow of the
wealthy Charles Erskine, owner, with
Mark Belt, his brother-in-law, of tine
Rocky Branch coal plant at Higgins
Vile. Erskine and Belt, who was a
captain under Guerrilla Quantrell, were
leaders in Confederate circles, and sue
ceeded in locating the state home at
Higginsvllle. Mrs. Erskine was leader
among the ladies in the same move
ment. She has two married daughters,
one the wife of Judge of the Kansas
City circuit court, and also has grand
children. Her new husband is sales
man fora st. Louis syrup house and is
but twenty-five years old. The marriage
has so shocked Mrs. Erskine's family
that one Of her daughters is danger
ously i'll Of nervous prostration, while
socially matters are so uncomfortable
she has come to this city to live.
