BRAZILIAN SITUATION.
Rio Once More Peaceful Port, Although
Under Martial Law.

Rio JANEIRO. March 36.-Affairs here are
rapidly resuming their normal aspect, and
aside from the damage done to the forts
and along the water front by the fire from
the insurgent warships all traces of war
fare have disappeared. The past week has
been one of general festivity, marked by
the constant firing of salutes and the hold
ing of reviews.
For months past the city was filled with
troops, and almost everything partook of
military character. Now the troops, or
at least by far the greater number of them,
have gone south to REINFORCE the govern
gents are still opposing the federal authori-
ties. The harbor has been deserted by all
the foreign warships, and the loading and
discharging of merchant vessels are pro
ceeding before the revolt.
The government entertainS no fear of
much further trouble in the south. The
insurgent sympathiZers claim that the
placing of Admiral de Mello at the head
of the provisional government will attract
many persons to the rebel standard, but
the government here believes that the in
surgent forces will gradually melt away
until nothing remains.
Martial law continues to be enforced
here, but this fact has it, or no effect
upon the business of the p1.,. The govern
ment fleet has been ordered to proceed
south. 1t is thought, however. that these
orders will be countermanded. The where
abouts of the insurgent warship Aquida
ban is not known here

of Parricide.
HOMER, Ga, March 26.-J. f. Willis was

with the AK, cutting cash in his skull
Willis threw back his head, and the moth
er took the AK from the girl and cut him
across the throat with it. Willis died a

that he was not dead she picked up the
AK and finished him. Her plea was that
she did the deed to save her mothers life

He Is Accused of Chnpping Up and Boiling
Little Girl-A Blood Stained Saw and
Ironing Board Found In Laundry-Two
Suspected Accomplices.
NEW YORK, March 26.-After IL week OF
untiring effort the central office detectives,
| aided by those of the West Thirty-seventh
street station, have, or think they have,
run to earth the murderer of little Susie
Martin, whose mutilated body was discov-
cred seven days ago in the coal cellar OF
the tenement at 5l1 West Thirty -ninth
street. The suspected murderer, who is
locked up in police headquarters, is a
Chinaman-Sam Sing by name-,' no runs
laundry at $50 Tenth avenue.
The police also have in their possession
hands;lw. such as is used by carpenters
and an ironing board, the latter, it is sup,
posed. constituting the implements by the
aid of which the mutilation of the child
was accomplished.
Two Other Suspects.
Justice Ryan admitted. although rcluc
family. that the accused Chinaman had
been arrested on suspicion of having been
implicated in the murder of Susie Martin,
THE police said the justice, have the
right man this time. and there are two 9th
ers whom the police suspect of being
cOmpliCeS i'll The crime and who Will prob
ably I've captured before very long.
ltapprarS that Detective Hay of the West
Thirty -Stvcnth street station received Il
letter signed Edward Mccain on Friday
night last. in which the writer stated that
on the day following Susie Martin disap
pearance he had seen Il Chinaman leave a
laundry i'll Tenth avenue with suspicious
looking bundle under his arm and hurried
ly walk over to the tenement at 5l7 West
Thirty-ninth street. Mccain followed
close behind.
The Chinaman. the writer said went
down into the cellar of the tenement, left
The writer further stated that he could
point out and identify the Chinaman in
question. This was Il hair raiser for De
tective Hay, who ut once communicated
with Detectives Grow ley and Rogers of the
central office. The trio then started out tC
find the writer of the letter.
In rear apartment on the top floor OF
the tenement at +63 West Thirty ninth
street early Saturday morning they found
Mccain. Matters became somewhat com
plicated from the fact that McCann, who
is % years old, is both deaf and dumb
They found !he deaf mute intelligent
however and were able to converse with
him by means of Il writing pad.
The mute led the detectives to a Chinese
laundry kept by Sam Sing and Sang Lung
at $50 Tenth avenue. BY signs and profuse
gesticulatious Mccain made he detectives
understand that sam Sing, who was inside
ironing a shirt at the time was the man
they We're after.

Probable Duration of the Tariff Debate.


WASHINGTON, March 26.-Inquiry among
Republican senators as to the policy they
will pursue with reference to the tariff bill
when it shall reach the senate develops the
fact that they are as yet undecided as to
whether they will move to recommit the
bill upon the commencement of the debate
Monday week. This was the first plan
when the bill was received from the house
and the Democratic majority of the finance
committee refused to grant hearings, but
there are indications that they have recon-
sidered and will not move in this direction
at least not at the beginning of the de-
bate.
There is no indication however, that
they have abated their purpose of contend
ing for every point of advantage and fore
ing, if possible, full debate on every propo-
sition contained in the bill. They expect
the general debate to continue for at least
a month and hope to have every schedule
discussed paragraph by paragraph after
ward Some of them intimate that they
consider it may be possible by this course
to delay action so as to render it impossi-
BILE to pass upon the bill during the pres
ent session. The purpose of the Demo
Gratis is to permit the Republicans to do
the greater part of the talking.
