LOOKS LIKE PEACE.
Peixoto Will Declare the State of
Siege Ended.


NEW YORK. Feb. THE Herald's Per-
nambuco special says: Five German tor
pedo-boats have arrived here TO join the
Nictheroy and America in their attack
upon the rebel feet. Two of them have
Chilean captains.
The Herald's Rio Janeiro cores pondent
cables: President Peixoto has issued
decree calling for general elections ou
March l, when a President, Vice-Presi-
dent and members of Congress will he
chosen. lie has also directed that the
state of siege shall end on February &c.
1t is generally expected that Dr.. Prudente
de MOraes will be the successful Presiden-
tial candidate. and that DIR. Vctorino
Pereira will be chosen Vce-President.
Ardent Republicans, it is believed, will
name Ruy BarbOsa in opposition to DR..
Moraes. Their candidate for Y Ce-Pres-
dent is not yet known.
The United States representatives have
refused Admiral ia Gama's application TO
be granted belligerent rights. They are
keeping close watch on the attitude of
Eugland's representatives.
The Worlds special from Rio has this:
President Peixoto tells the Worlds cor
respondent that he will issue tomorrow
decree ordering Presidential and Congress
sional elections for March l. The period
of the state of siege will end on February
26 There is much confusion among the
rebels because by this latest move Presi-
dent PeixOto is calculated to remove all
cause for continuing the war.
Prudente Moraes will be the Government
candidate for President, and he is accepta-

ZELLA'S TRUNK.
Rather Than Lose Her Clothes She
Paid an Old BILL


CHICAGO, Feo. 7.-Zella Nichoaus, who
became notorious through her alleged deal
ings with George Gould. had lively time
with the constable at the Victoria Hotel
to-day. Al Ruhman, who is said to be her
hus sband. was also mixed up in the row.
The last time ZeIla and Ruhman were in
Chicago they contracted board bill with
Hotel amounting to $67. for which Eden
was compelled to take their note, as they
had no money. Learning yesterday that
they were again in the city and stopping
at the Victoria Hotel as Mr.. and Mrs.
King of Cleveland, Eden promptly took
out an attachment,
This morning when a constab appeared
Ruhman said he would like to settle, but
he had only SAT in cash. The constable
threatened to carry off the lady's ward
robe, which lay exposed in open trunks,
but Stella protested vigorously. and Rub
man intmsted to the constable that he
would be compelled to shoot if the officer
did not make himself scarce.
The constable reported the m after to the
hotel people, who invited the guests to
leave. They promptly sent their baggage
downstairs, aud the constable seized the
largest trunk. After another quarrel
Stella gave the officer 500. and without
waiting for her change ordered the trunks
sent to the Lake Shore depot, declaring
she would take the o'clock train for New
York

TOO MUCH GOLD.
Bankers Are Now Very Anxious to
Get Rid of 1t.

WASHINGTON, Feb. z. - The treasury
balance to-day is stated to be S117, lis, 325,
the first time it has been above the hun
dred million dollar mark for several
months. This is accounted for solely by
the payments of subscriptions for the new
per cent bonds. OF this increase
S26 CSC. 294 is gold and $685. 14O currency
Senator Call introduced an amendment
to Senator Stewart's bona resolution just
before the Senate adjourned tonight. de-
claripg in favor of legalizing bonds issued
by Secretary Carlisle to the extent of
500. 600. 600 prior to the 10Th of February,
prohibiting all further issues except by
authority Of Congress, and repeating the
exising laws authorizing bonds.
NEW YORK, Feb. 7.-Up to noon TODAY
the sub treasury had received about
S34, SOC, 900 in gold on account of the new
bonds. The total amount TO be received
at the sub-treasury here out of $50, 600. OOO
in round figures, which the Government
will receive altogether for bonds, is about
S49O00.0 000
Just how much of the S34. 500 900 In gold
already received here is new gold, that is
gold that has not previously been drawn
out of the sub-treasury by the REDEEM ption
of greenbacks for the purpose of paying
for bonds. treasury officials are not able to
say to-day. 1t has been noticed. however,
during the last few days that the redemp-
tion of green backs has been unusually
heavy. as much as 81, 100000 having been
presented Tor that purpose in one lot.
So far from suffering any serious drain
of its gold the treasury is likely rather to
be used as dumping ground for the over
supply which seems to have become bur
densome 10 many banks. Signs abound
that in some of the larger cities it will be a
positive relief to get the plethora of gold
reduced. Offers have been made lately
from several quarters of all the gold the
treasury would accept In exchange for
paper of any sort, even silver certificates.
The trouble is that the supply of paper
money is too low TO permit of compliance.

VOORHEES, IS SILENT.
Gossip Upon the Senate's Action
on the Tariff.
Hill and Murphy Will Stand With the
Republicans Against the
Income Tax.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-SenatOr Voor-
hees declined to-day TO make direct re-
ply to a question as 10 the correctness of
the report that the Democratic members
of the Senate Finance Committee had or
dered the printing Of draft of the tariff
bill agreed upon by them. but other men,
bers of the Democratic side Of the COM
mittee, while denying that they had
agreed upon the bill, admitted that bill
containing the suggestions of some men,
bers had gone TO the printer and would be
used as basis for work by the committee.
This will, it Is understood. make liberal
concessions to the sugar and coal inter-
ests, and also makes material change in
the income-tax feature of the House bill
providing for a tax upon the incomes OF
corporations.
Among the rumors flying thick and fast
about the Senate is'one to the effect that
the income tax is omitted.
Senators Hill, Murphy aud German will
vote with the Republicans to recommit
when the bill is reported to the Senate
but on the other hand bill with the in
come tax retained will probably command
the votes of the three POpulist, Senators,
which it would lose if this tax should be
left out. Senator Martin also said to-day
that in case the tax should be omitted be
would feel very much tempted co vote
against the bill.
William 3. Buckminster, represent
ing the California quicksilver miners,
who was q few days ago hopeful
that the Senate Finance Committee
might be induced to restore the
duty on quicksilver, is discouraged be-
cause the committee has decided to grant
no hearing. The utter ruin of this indus
try is threatened. Buckminster will keep
up his fight, however. He will endeavor
10 talk with individual members of the
committee.

seen. This was at 90 A. NJ. Instantly
firing began from Fort Santa Cruz and a
moment later FOIt St. John joined IN the

The little fort of Bage. further inside
the bay. also sent her quota to increase
the hail of missiles which ratified around
the daring Aquidaban. At that range,
however, not shot reached the mark,
and without deIgning a reply the big black
ship passed silently on into the narrow
channel between the fortressps. When
she was not 800 yards away Fort Santa
Cruz worked her guns furiOusly, sending a
plunglng fire down upon the decks of the
warshp, and st. John, mile away, sent
her heaviest projectile against the rebel
ships sides, while Fort Bage swept her
decks with rsking fire. The ship could
hardly have been subjected to more
severe test, yet the Aqudaban was ap-
parently uninjured.
For half an hour the fight continued,
until the AQuidaban dropped anchor
alongside the Tamandare out of range Of
all the hostile batteries. Perhaps 300
shots had been fired at ranges from 600
9-inch caliber down to 6-pounders. yet alb
solutely no damage was done. The
Aouidab ban, though struck heavily several
times, was practically unhurt, while not a
single shot. either from her batteries or
from Fort Villegaignon, struck any one Of
the Government forts.
Later, at 5:35 A. NJ, the Guanabara, one
of the rebel torpedo cruisers, opened fire
on the shore batteries erected to protect
the Custom-house. The batteries on
Cobras Island and the cruiser Trajano
joined the Guanabara, and still later the
Libertad, with Da Gama's flag flying. also
came into action. The latter, however,
contented herself with firing three heavy
defenses and buried themselves in the
heart of the city.
The only fatalities reported were caused
by the explosion in the city of heavy

four men, namely: Pedro Mainett, a
policeman; Manuel de Jesus GadareJa, a
shoemaker; America Duarte. an apothe-
cary. and Manuel Gonzalez de Silva, med

The fire ceased after while, only to be
renewed at 8 p. NJ against Santa Ana and

Why the Union and Northern Pacific
Railroads Will Escape Any
Labor Trouble.

MILWAUKEE. Feb. 7.-Eugene Debs,
president of the American Railway Union,
the new railway labor organization, and
which is stronger on the Union Pacific
than on any other system, left last night
for Omaha, where a conference of the Off
GERS OF the order is TO be held with regard
to the Union Pacific new wage schedule.
Debs says there will probably be conven-
tion at Ogden of delegates from different
points on the system. He does not look
for strike on the Union Pacific or the
Northern Pacific. chiefly because so many
men are out of work. He places the num-
Der of idle fremen who belong to the
brotherhood at 5000. This would indicate
more than 5000 out of work. including nom
