The Report Denied.

Washington, Jan. 1.-The report cur
rent in Montevideo that Peixeto was
negotiating with United States Minis
ter Thompson looking to the interven-
ton of the United States fleet at Rio
in accomplishing a settlement of the
Brazilian difficulties was denied by Of
ficials of the state and navy depart
ment today.
Secretary Herbert said if any such
intervention was contemplated he is
not informed of it. At the state de-
partment no information of such nego-
tiations has been received from Min
lister Thompson and no instructions
had been sent him to take such action.
Confederation was secured for the re-
port that the United States and Ger
man authorities had together taken
action to prevent the rebel forces
from again attacking Rio or doing
damage to it

adopted her and took her to his lonely

WILL PULL 1T OFF.
The DuvaI People VIII Beat the
Governor if Possible.

Jacksonville. Jan. 4.-THe general
opinion is the managers of the DuvaI
club have determined to go to almost
any length to defeat Governor Mitch
els opposition. The sports say the
club cannot be beaten out Of the fight.
1t is understood arrangements have
been perfected whereby the fight can
certainly be pulled off, though at the
expense of many anxious to see it.
The work now being pushed at the
arena is said to be only to bluff the
governor. Tickets of admission are
still being sold. The intention is to
charter train to be in readiness for
weight hours previous to the fight
and to be held thereafter forty-eight
hours to guard against a possible de-
tention The spectators will be given

will carry them to the battle ground.

Washington, D. c., Jan. THE ses-
sion of the Senate was significant in
two respects.
Hoar introduced a resolution calling
on the secretary of the treasury for
authority for the payment of Special
Commissioner Blount for his Hawaiian
services and Gray served a notice that
on Tuesday next, the Democrats would
insist on taking up the federal election
bill and continuing its consideration
until the measure was finally disposed
Of
The object of Hoars resolution was
manifestly to call into question the
right of the president to send a per-
sonal commissioner to Hawaii. or, in
deed. any commissioner without the
concurrence of the Senate, and this
object, is, of course, most effectively
reached by demanding authority of the
secretary of the treasury for payment
of Blount for service and expense.
The notice Of Gray indicates the
Democrats are determined to dispose
of the federal election bill at an early
day and before they can possibly be
hampered by the tariff bill or any other
party measures which might come over
from the House demanding early con-
siderat ton through motives of party
expediency. The bill will be taken up
Tuesday and will continue to he the
paramount question in the Senate until
it is finally disposed of.
An Interesting colloquy took place
over the suggestion Of Gray that The
Senate proceed 10 the consideration OF
the federal election bill.
Senator Chandler asked whether this

TO PURIFY THE TURF.
Great Gathering of Noted Men in
New York.

Great Gathering of Noted Men In
New York.
New York, Jan. 4.-When Chairman
James R. Keene called to order the
meeting at the Hoffman house this
Afternoon to perfect the organization
of the American Jockey club, he faced
"a gathering of noted turfmen, includ-
ing Richard Croker, Perry Belmont. ].
20. Bonner, P. J. Dwyer, J. a Galaxy,
A. L. Walcott, John Hunter, Dr.
Knapp. Charles Reed. Secretary Brew
Ister Of the Washington Park club,
Chicago, Pittsburg Phil, Billy Hayward,
Snapper Garrison and others.
The report of the subcommittee,
consisting of Keene, Belmont and Dom
ner, was presented, to the effect that
after comforting with the board Of con-
officials, it was concluded that the plan
of organization could only be accom-
plished by charging the board of con-
troll. They decided to form new
jockey club limited to fifty members,
whose object was to purify the turf
Keene said some scheme of turf re-
form was badly needed, and he believed
the formation of a jockey club the
surest method of success. The idea is
to give the same opportunity Of Sue
cess on the turf to the humblest as
well as the wealthiest man. 1t will be
the endeavOr to have every contest
above suspicion. and credit to the
American turf.
In answer to a question by Secretary
Brewster, of the Washington Park
club, Chicago whether the intended
jockey club was to cover the east, par
ticularly, Keene said racing matters in
New York and New Jersey will be i'm
portant enough to consider or to try to
govern. What the turf wanted is tone
and character, and without it the Amer
lean turf will fail.
P ]. Dwyer was asked by the chair
man to say something in reference to
an increase in stakes or purses at the
local race track, and in a brief way
answered: II am willing to do every
/ thing in my power to forward the in
terests of every person connected with
association in the country that will give
higher purses than 1 will. 1 will do
everything that lays in my power, and
all 1 ask is, give us good people, nc
| igureheads, but good workers.
| Keene said he was confident the club
would be firm in purpose and make a
complete revolution in the racing
circles.
| A resolution was adopted empowering
the committee to act as incorporatOrs
! and to take all necessary steps to com
plete the organization of a club with
power to call the meeting together
whenever it was thought proper. The
committee is composed of j. Hunter

st. Louis to Louisville, 273 miles. The
road was operated in conjunction with
the Evansville & Terre Haute & Peoria,
Decatur & Evansville. through separate
corporations, and formed what has
been called the Mackay system, D. J.
Mackay, of Evansville, being the presi-
dent. The bonded Indebtedness of the
main line is large. The first mortgage
consolidated bonds, the defaulting of
the interest on which precipitated the
Ireceivership, amount to $3,795, 900, with
interest at per cent. The second
mortgage consolidated bonds aggregate
81, 600, at per cent. interest The
second series of first and second mort
gage bonds, per cent, aggregated
81, $4,000 The road has been in hard
luck since 1892 in which year it was
cut into for four months by a wrecked
tunnel, which entailed not only a great
| loss, but heavy expense. The road
had not recovered from this when the
istringency of 1898 set in, and from June

fell off over 100000 or enough to have
met the defaulted interest.
