corporations, who employ men in vari-

not be judges enough in Amer

to surrender what has been fought for by

LAST OF TIE RESURRECTION
The Brazilian Government now Master Of
the Situation.
ARGENTINA TAKES MELL0'S SHIPS
They Will Be- Turned Over TO PelxotO and
Probably Taken Back by Brazilian
Crews TO Rio de Janeiro.

BUENos AYREs, April 26.-All the men
belonging to the Republica. Meteoro, Iris.
Urano and Erperanza, the five warships
lately commanded by Admiral Mello,
have been transferred to the lazaretto.
These vessels arrived here Monday
night, and were surrendered to the Ar
Rentine Government on the condition
that their officers and crews be afforded
asylum as political refugees.
Argentine crews have been placed on
the vessels, pending the arrival of the
Brazilian Government squadron, to
which the five vessels will be turned
over. They will then be manned by
Brazilian crews. and probably taken
back TO Rio de Janero.
Advices received here to-day confirm
the statem ent made exclusively some
days ago by the Associated Press that the
instruction in Southern Brazil had COM
petely collapsed. The Government
forces are masters of the situation in
Panama and Desterro, and it is believed
that the very few remaining rebels still
under arms will shortly. If they have not
already done so, make overtures to the
Government for amnesty, which owing to
the good offices OF the United States,
will undoubtedly be granted to them.
The report from Desterro in regard TO
the Aquidaban are conflicting. One
story is that, finding her abandoned,
Government sailors manned her, but had
not been long on board when govern
ment torpedo boat, arriving from the
north and thinking the Aquidaban was
still in the hands of the rebels, sank her
with torpedoes. Another report is that
the Aquidaban and two insurgent vessels
were off Desterro when the Government
squadron came up. A fierce engagement
which is said to have followed ended
when the torpedo boat Gustavo Sampaio
discharged three torpedoes and sank the
Aquidaban. Many lives are reported to
have been lost during the battle.
Word came from Desterro tonight
that the Aquidaban, in shallow water
when sunk, is only partly submerged
and it will be comparatively easy to
float her. No examination has been
made of the hull.
A telegram from Montevideo states
that the Brazilian refugees on the Portu.
guese warships complain that they are i'll

PORTLAND, April 27.-Sheriff Kelly
sent the following to Governor Pennoyer
late yesterday afternoon:
81 am reliably and credibly informed
that there is a crowd of lawless people
congregated at Troutdale, in this county
and state, which is a menace to the
peace, and to the order and welfare of
the community. Property, l am in
formed, is in danger, and l make re-
quest OF you, as commander in-chief of
the militia of the state, for sufficient
force to keep the peace and good order of
the state"
the governor sent the following reply {:
II am in receipt of your request of this
date upon me, as commander-in-ch chief of
the militia, for sufficient force to keep
peace and good order in this state,
simply becauee there is crowd of law
less people congregated at Troutdale.
You do not allege any actual breach of
the peace. This is a civil and not mill
tary government, and it is your duty to
exercise civil power to quell any disturb
ance which occurs, and not to call upon
the militia before it occurs"

INDIANAPOLIS, April 25.-The republi-

control, and we favor the imposition of

all countries which oppose the coinage of

an international congress for such pur-
pose. We denounce the avowed purpose
OF the democratic party to restore an era

Elk President Harrison addressed the

periences are doing. The people now

were full of unrest, disaster and appre-

tumult could be stilled, as by the voice
of omnipotence, if the industrial
and commercial classes could know that
there will be no attempt to strike down
protection. He said the republican
party was friendly to the restitution
of silver, and that in England and
Germany can be seen today clear indi-
cations of growth of sentiment for an

BACK TO COACH DAYS,
A Run From Philadelphia to Now YoI
ON the Old stage Road.

Run From Philadelphia to Now York
on tho Old stage Road,
New YoRK, April 25.-The blowing Of
the horns in Philadelphia and New

opening of the great metropolitan coach.
ing venture. At O'Clock two coaches
maintained by private gentlemen for
public service started simultaneously
one from the Waldorf Hotel in this city,
and the other from the Stratford Hotel.
in Philadelphia-the first to run through
to Philadelphia and the latter to New
York. The distance is exactly ninety
miles. The time to be consumed is
eleven hours. This will be the longest
regular coach route in the world, and
the experiment is looked forward to with
the greatest interest by all directly or in
directly interested in the sport of the
road and the handling and breeding of
road horses.
The idea originated in the Suburban
Road Coaching Club, of Philadelphia, a
small company of gentlemen of such
true sporting proclivties as to have
made Philadelphia rather more of a
coaching headquarters today than New
York.
1t was difficult to choose the most
direct and feasible route. Since revo-
lutionary times there has been famous
old stage road maintained between
Philadelphia and New York. In the
olden times, what with ferriage and
primitive roads, it was considered a
good job to do the distance in two DAYS
and a night. Old advertisements of such
stage lines are still extant, and very
amusing reading they are to the expert
whip of today with bis ten miles an hour
gait and change of horses after each
stage. In 1878, on May s, the New York
Coaching Club determined to see what it
could do by way of shortening the driv-
ing time to Philadelphia, and succeeded
on that memorable occasion in driving
from the Hotel Brunswick on Fifth
avenue to the Hotel st. George in Phila.
delphia in twelve hours.
The two coaches used today are named
Alert and Initial. Five horses are to be
kept at each stage and ten at Princeton.
Each team will do it's twenty miles
day, ten miles one way in the morning
and ten miles the other way in the after
noon. Two helpers will be kept at each
stage, and altogether the estimated cost
OF running the two coaches will be some
thing like $3.50 day.
The coach will pass the battle ground
OF Princeton; it passes the quaint old
headquarters Of Washington just as they
stood when the father of his country was
fighting like Trojan for independence
it passes the house in which General
Mercer died, the floor still stained with
his blood it passes old Nassau hall,
where the Continental Congress met in
1893, where the first state legislature
was held and from which the British
troops were driven by Washinpton's
army. The coach rolls by the old presi |
