THE REVOLUTION STILL ON.
brazilian Rebel Admiral De Mello Meet
ing with Huge Successes i'm the South.

Dispatches from Buenos Ayres and
Montevideo tell of victories won by
admiral De Mello the head of the in
surgents, who is still confident of vic
tory notwithstanding the surrender Of
Da Cana.
In accordance with orders sent by
General Saraiva. in command of the
land forces of the insurgents, to the
western and central districts of the
Rio Grande, the entire federalist army
in that state made forced marches to
Oidad, Rio Grande and Porto Allegro
TO cooperate with Admiral De Mello's
fleet.
Castilha commander at Rio Grande
do Sui telegraph President PeiXoto
that it was not probable he could make
a successful resistance TO the insur-
gents He has only one gunboat, the
Cananea, and that is useless.
LATER.-Advices have reached Blu
enos Ayres to the effect that the gov
eminent boat Cananea has surrendered
TO the insurgent fleet at Rio Grande do
Sui. The land forces of the insurgents
number G,000 men, all of whom are
well armed and plentifully supplied
with provisions.
The Portuguese warships Mindello
and Alfonso de Albuquerque, which
came to Buenos Ayres from Rio Jan
Giro, having on board Admiral Da
Cana and number of insurgents,
have sailed. Their destination is not
known.
1t is reported that the insurgents of
Brazil had captured Rio Grande do Sui
after bombardment of that city. The
Aquidaban and Republica are now
cruising outside the harbor in antici-
patton of meeting President PeiXotos
fleet. 1t is presumed that Porto Allie
gro at the head of Lago Dos Patos,
which is defended by Rio Grande, will
shortly surrender to the insurgents,
who are said to have landed a large
force to attack it.

CoxEY AND HIS ARMY.
News of the Doings OF the common
veal of Christ"

About 800 men were in line when
"Gen" Coxey's army of peace departed
from Pittsburg. Thousands of people
turned out to see the aggregation
leave. Sixty-seven members of the
army were arrested on the streets of
Allegheny, 35 were discharged and 30
sent to the workhouse. Dr. Kirkland,
Jasper johnson and Weary Her no
longer belong TO the commonweal.
They have been ANONYMOUSLY dis
missed and their names scratched of
the roll because they exhibited them
selves as freaks in n museum in Pitts
burg.
At Homestead an escort of 500 men
met the commonweal, and headed by
the Homestead Steel Works band, pa
raded the principal streets, on the way
to the circus grounds, where dinner
was served and camp pitched. Later q
meeting was held which was attended
by several thousand people.
Reynoldtown, Pa, near McKeesport
was honored by being the next camp
ing place of the army.
Brownsville, Pa, where the distin-
guished and lamented Blaine spent the
greater portion of his boyhood days
welcomed the army of the "Common-
veal of Christ" fairly well. Just as
the twilight was deepening into night
they marched over the bridge and
entered the city. Ten thousand watch
ers viewed the tramp of the 294. They
were well provided with provisions by
sympathizers.

10 LIVES LOST BY FIRE
FIREMEN DROP 50 FEET INTO
FURIOUS FLAMES.
Hotel and Theater Burn mt Milwaukee
with the Most Terrible Results
Over $3.50, 900 Property Loss.

At AGO o'clock a. m. flames were seen
breaking out from the rear of the
Davidson theater and hotel, at Milwau
kee, Wis, structure valued at $780,
900. An alarm was promptly responded
to, but not until the roof was a sheet
of flames. Immediately on the arrival
of the fremen ladders were run up
and the men rushed up on the roof, six
stories from the ground. In doing so,
Allie Reese, one of the men, slipped
and fell to the ground being killed
by the fall. The frcmen took their
stations ON the roof directly over the
stage and began work, when without
warning the roof gave way, precipitat-
ing the men 80 feet below into the fire
on the large stage of the theater, nine
of whom were either killed by the fall,
or burned or suffocated TO death.
The large building was used as a
theater on the ground floor and the
rear, while the portion above and the
front was utilized by the Hotel David
son. The hotel portion was well filled
with guests, but they all were warned
in time and made their escape without
injury, though panic prevailed, many
of them escaping in hastily made
toilets. The fire originated apparently
on the stage under the roof. The stage
was about so feet from the floor to the
roof and the fire had made great pro-
gress in the oily scenery and was a
perfect oven of flames when discovered.
The Liliputians, with an immense
amount of scenery, were filling a two
weeks engagement in "A Trip to
Mars" in the house, and had for the
engagement drawn great houses.
Treasurer Rodriguez. of the Davidson,
says the loss TO the Lillputian company
all told cannot fall below $780, 900. The
loss to the Davidson Theater company
will be heavy. Manager Brown said:
1.-The original cost of the entire struct-
ure and contents to John and Alex
ander Davidson was between S350,000
and $500, 1000.
just how many fell with the roof
is not known, though John Yeo, a
pipeman of No. 4, says he thinks there
must have been 90 who went down. Of
the number some were rescued, but
nine are known to be dead. Assistant
Chief Jansen, who is among the miss
ing and dead, was a brother of Chief
of Police Jansen.

THE STATE HAPPENINGS
BRIEF ACCOUNT OF MANY OF
THE INTERESTING MATTERS.
Seven Men Crushed to Death and Two
Fatally injured in Logging Train
Accident-BrIefiets.

A terrible accident happened while
a logging locomotive was running on
the narrow gauge road of Staples Il
Covell, near New Era, Oceana county;
it struck tree that had been blown
across the railroad track, and without
a moments warning seven men met an
awful fate. When the train struck
the obstruction the engine was thrown
from the rails and went rolling down
an embankment, taking with it num-
Der of logging cars, which all piled
upon it. IL was a terrible scene. When
the train went over the embankment
the whole crew, consisting of eight
men, went with it. They were pinned
down by the logging cars and crushed
TO death. To add to the awful suffer-
ings of the imprisoned men they were
scalded by escaping steam.
Engineer AdOlph Shetlander, 45
years old, leaves a widow and two
children; Fireman Gust Anderson, 30
years old. SINGLE Foreman Frank
Shippy, Newaygo county, 35 years old,
leaves widow and daughter: Train
men Martin Lynch, married; Charles
Wolfe, Loren and Allen Critchett, all
single, are dead, and Fred ChawlIee
and Henry Stearn, both single, badly
injured. Such is the result of the ac-
cident. The men were on their way
to camp for dinner. The accident oc-
Cured shortly before noon, while the
engine, containing nine men, was on
its way from White river TO the camp,
six miles distant.
Chawl1ee, who was so severely in
jured, received his injuries in attempt
ing TO aid fellow workman. He will
probably die. Stearn saved his life by
jumping through car window. Frank
Shippy had his stomach burned out
with Goals from the furnace. He saw
the tree fall but there was no time to
stop the engine after he gave the
alarm. Both the Critchetts died in
great agony. They were found with
their fingers burned off and flesh peel
ing from their bodies.
The road runs from three miles east
of New Era TO White river. 1t has
been in operation over five years, and
would have finished logging in two
days for good. and then have been
moved to other parts. Engineer Shet-
lander had been in charge ever since the
road was started, and this is his first
accident. He was TO have taken an
other position in a week. All of the
men live in Whitehall except those
designated.

Army OF Unemployed at Washington.

A special from Washington says: The
advance guard of the unemployed,
though not of Coxey's aggregation,
reached Washington. 1t came in the
form of Al men packed in n single box car
on the +. q o. Notice of the probable
arrival of these men had reached Major
Moore during the day and he had pre-
pared for them. They were promptly
locked up. A few combs, several pieces
of soap number of small knives and
two or three razors were found on the
men. One man had IS cents in his
pockets.
They disclaimed being in any way
connected with the Coxey army, claim
ing to be merely body of worl1men
out of work whose homes we're mostly
in the east. They had banded together
for the sake of getting east, near their
homes. They had started, as body,
at st. Louis and spoke with pride of
the fact that they had come all the way
by rail. They had merely asked for
transportation from the railroads and
been given it. They had been fed by
sympathizers along the route, had sell
dom gone hungry and had really a
fairly easy time.

of the deposition of their priest and
are on the eve of an attempt to in
fluence their similarly situated coun-
trymen in Detroit, Baltimore, Chicago
and Buffalo to form bishopric in the
old Catholic church, an organization
almost unheard of in this country. 1t

Triple Fatality by Premature Explosion.

Twenty tons of rock and dirt, hurled
into the air by premature blast of
powder at Brinton, Pa, buried and
killed three men, severely injured four
others and bruised and cut ten. The
dead are all Austrian laborers.
Owen Dugan was in charge of a gang
of sixty laborers working on the hill
side. He had charge of the blasting.
The blasts were always set of by bat
terry. One would not explode and
Dugan began drilling in" TO put a
fresh quantity of powder ON top.
While he and his three assistants were
working at this on top of the bank the
charge went off. Ten feet below the
gang was working and the explosion
buried them under the tons of rock
and earth loosened by the charge.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE.
Dun's and Bradstreets' Reports Dilei
Very Much-Take Your Choice.

NEW YonK April Or. G. Dun Co.'S re-
view says: Improvement in business has con-
tinuod since the presidents veto OF the seign-
forage bill But the best news OF the week is
the great decrease in number and importance
OF failures. The number was 2O9O in january,
l205 in February and 1.OO5 in March. Though
the number OF commercial failures (4,2O7) in
the United States was never equalod in any
quarter until the third OF last year, the average
OF liabilities Is only 1880 which IL lower than
has appeared on the records OF thirty-eight
years as any time closely preceding any serious
reverse. The degree OF commercial soundness
and health thereby indicated gives ground for
hope that the hquidations consequent upon the
disaster OF 1893 have beon in large measure ac-
complished. Wheat has been lifted by reports
of serious injury TO the plant but the accounts
are more than usually conflicting, and there Is
much uncertainty about the extent OF the in
Jury. Pork illustrates the contrariness of the
hog by rising soc, with lard shade better.
The cotton market approaches stagnation. The
failures for the past week have been 249 in the
United States. against 1875 last year, and 20 in
Canada, against 20 last year.
Bradstreets says: Special kilograms from
important distributing eenters report general
trade quite Irregular, previous gains having
been followed by shrinlsages In many instances.
There is a slight gain in business at Pittsburg
| in staple merchandise, as well as among manu-
facturers OF Bessemer pig and billets. The de-
lay OF expected revival in trade AZ Cincinnati,
Cleveland, Detroit and Louisville has had
depressing influence and Is aided by unseaSon-
able weather; but business Is reported fair at
| Indianapolis The Industrial feature OF the
week is found in thirty-one strikes through
out the country, involving $4,000 employees,
principally among building trades at New
York and Chicago, the textile industries at
Paterson and New York, coal miners and coke
operatives In western Pennsylvania and further
west. Noticeably large increases In the number
OF small strikes weekly have taken the place OF
assumptions OF industrial establishments.
Further advances In wheat are duo 70 scares
or fears of crop damage. The monthly report
of world s supplies of wheat TO Bradstreets' in
dicatos the United States will carry over more
available wheat July than on any like date
except in 1898. On April worlds wheat stocks
were smaller than a year ago, the like OF which
has not been reported since February, 1891.
