Drowned.
Vessel Torn to Pieces while In an I'm

the Land Batteries.

RIO DE- JASEIRo. Feb. 2f. via Nontiye
deo, March Reports OF the loss Of
the rebel transport Venus have been
confirmed. but the details are yet
meager. On Friday morning the armed
rebel transports Jupiter. Marte and We.
nus opened a bOmbardment against
the government batteries and quite a
lively fire was exchanged Suddenly
there was a terrific roar heard above the
booming Of guns, and it was seen as the
smoke cleared away that an explosion
had occurred on the Venus. The vessel
had been torn in half, and almost i'm
mediately the stern half went to the
bottom. and the bow half was on fire
and m few minutes the flames were
raging furiously This portion Of the
Venus tioated for half hour and then
went down
The Venus was commanded by Capt
NascouccllOs. He. with three officers
anu twenty nine men. made up the crew
Every soul on board was lost. some Of
the crew could be seen for time on the
forward part of the vessel. and efforts
were made to save them. but the boats
were slow. and the men on the wreck
were forced 10y the fire into the water.
and before they could be reached all
went down. The most probable theory
Of the explosion is that a shot struck the
vessel amidships and tore through the
hull and boiler. 1t is not thought the
magazine exploded. FOR the smoke Of the
explosion was reddish brown. and the
smoke Of powder is gray
Rio JANEIRo. March i.-Itis generally
believed that the Insurrection here and
IN the south is virtually over. The reb-

most bloody battle that has been fought
during the revolt took place early on the
morning Of February 9th at Aramacao
mountain, when the insurgents lost 80
men. The rebels at first repulsed the
government troops, but the discovery Of
large supply Of whisky proved fatal to
the attacking forces. The rebels devoted
themselves to whisky. with the result
that in very short time many Of them
were placed hors du combat 1t was
while the greater number Of the rebels
were helplessly intoxicated that severe
loss was inflicted upon them by the gov.
ernment troops.

The Caraegie- settle.

WASHINGTON, March 4.-For some
time IT has been known that the Car.
negie Steel company had been in trouble
with the navy department respecting ir-
regularities in the quality Of plate sup
piled for the armor Of the new battleships
and monitors. Secretary Herbert has
made the following statement: Last
September the naval department ascer-
tanned that illegal practices were being
resorted to by the employees Of the Car
negie Steel company in the manufacture
OF armor for the government. 1t was
ascertained that while all the armor
manufactured was good, portions Of it
were not up to the contract Of the steel
company. They appealed from the sec
retary of the navy to the president. who.
on Jan. 10. assessed the damages against
the company at s14O, ,4S4. and the com
pany settled. There is no evidence
tending to show that anv officers above

Are People Living Longer !?

The careful examination of vital sta
tistics. il is generally conceded. indicates
that the average duration of human life
has been increasing during the past two
centuries. But this does not necessarily
imply that larger number Of people
now reach the age Of seventy. eighty. or
even ninety than in times past. 1t means
only. that. taking a thousand persons at
random. the average ageiof each at death
exceeds that Of the same number Of per-
sons a generation ago. yet less people
in thousand now reach the age Of sixty.
Two causes may be assigned for this.
One is that hygiene and physical culture
are now better understood and the NOR
tality among children and young people
is much less. The other is. that the
strain upon people in middle life who
are doing the worlds work is much
greater. owing to the increased compe-
tition and the rushing methods of bust
ness. These conditions cannot be
changed. but il one would live long there
must be seasons Of relaxation orsvaca-
tion. Perhaps the best way to spend
such a season is to travel to new scenes
and acquire in new ideas. Railroads are
the means OF travel, and among them all
none will take you in more directions or
make the journey 50 safe. speedy and
comfortable as the Burlington Route.

Icy aud backbone to vote for tho prin-
ciplas no represents, aud will logislate
for tho good Of the whole people, and
not any individuals, corporations or
localities, / have been deceived and
inhaled by the false promises and siren
voice OF tho Democratic party ever since
l can remember, and have been work
ing for and voting with tho Democrats
for the last nineteen years; have relied
upon their promises and believed they
had some principles that they could In
corporate into law il they could get into
powor, but the present Congress dem.
onstrates tho fact that the Democrats
cannot pass any but sectional or COM
promise legislation.
Tho attitude Of tho present admins
tration and its effort to pass financial
and tariff legislation shows it's utter
disregard for tho American manutac.
turer and producer, and for tho welfare
OF tho American laborer. rbave always
and do now believe in a tariff that will
protect; that gold and silver is tho
money Of tho constitution; that strict
immigration laws should, DO passed aud
riridly enforced; that the formation OF
trusts aud monopolies for the purpose
OF controlling tho price OF any cemnod.
i,y should he declared unlawful aud
contrary TO public policy; that tho Con-
gross Of the United States should be
composed OF patriotic mon who would
lcglslato for tho benefit Of tho whoie
people OF tho United States. and not for
tho interest OF England or any other
foreign power; that our flag should be
respected and our soldiers cared for,
and not compelled to live under u sneer-
ing cloud OF suspicion and DO subject to
laws that prejudice their rights without
trial or hearing; and that tho COM
merce OF the United States slioHld DO so
managed that our people would receive
the greatest advantage from rcci procal

tions Of the earth.
So, you sec, holding tho viows l do, l

such relief from the Democratic party,

Not Civil Wnr.

We arc not on the verge Of civil war.
We are about to teach q lesson that will
not be forgotten soon. Another Dcbs
NAV arise, but no will find it moro Diff
cult to get mob to follow him. Tho
mob may DO ready, but it will be
afraid. Tho next ono will hear the
rifles pop sooner than this one did.
five have much moro Of this kind OF
thing. the mob will be dealt with by u
short cut; tho riot act will bc read and
the rattle of musketry will begin. This
requires no new law. only tho prompt
execution of existing law. 1t Is not
necessary 10 wait until the mob has
done dovilment; it must diSpcrsc at
once or it may be dispersed with bullets.
The mob is not considerato of any
thing or anybody. The law docs not
place society at any disadvantage in the
face of a mob. All persons unlawfully
assembled must get out Of the way or
take the consequences. Because tho
mistake has been madO Of allowing the
mob to get the upper hand, there is n
mistaken idea that tho hands OF tho
servants of the people arc ticd until tho
mob has destroyed something or killed
somebody.
l. should DO understood that The solo
right Of tho mob is to got out Of the way
quickly. Ifitr refuse go to do, it may be
exterminated on the spot.
