BIGGER WAR LOOMING UP.
CHICAGO. March 10.-A bigger war in

Cured is looming up. The fight when
it comes off will be between the Atchi-
son and Southern Pacific on one side and
the Union Pacific on the other. The
Rock leland and possibly the Burling-
ton will favor the Atchison and South
ernn Pacific. Great indignation is ex-
pressed by the Southern Pacific against
the Union Pacific for the recent cutting
OF rates.
THE UNION PACIFIC CUT.
Itwas announced today that the North
western and Union Pacific were making,
through brokers, rate of $31 one way
and $54 round trip from Chicago to Cali
fornia. The Atchison was first iuclined
to meet the reductions, but concluded
that pending the settlement OF its dis
pute with the Southern Pacific, it would
create no more complications. Once
this matter is out OF the way. the Union
Pacific will be given all the fight it
cares for.
The settlement between the Atchison
and Southern Pacific is progressing
smoothly.

Rio DE JANRIRo, March 10.-[Copy-
righted, 1894, by the Associated Press. i
There now seems to be q definite PROS
pect for naval battle and the prompt
ending of the rebellion, so far as Rio de
Janeiro is concerned. The dynamite
cruiser Nictheroy, the torpedo boat Au-
rora, the torpedo boat Destroyer and
three torpedo boats brought over from
Germany have arrived here.
When the sun rose this morning,
Peixoto's feet was seen at anchor in a
small bay at the entrance to the harbor,
and we'll protected by the guns Of Fort
Santa Cruz. The Nictheroy from the
position which she now occupies, is ex-
pected to be able 10 throw dynamite
shells at Fort Villegaignon and when
Villegaignon has been silenced, it is ex-
pected that the Nictheroy and consorts
will steam up to a sheltered position
behind the island upon which the Vile
gaignon Notifications stand, and will,
from there, shell the rebel feet while
being protected from the fire of the
heavy guns of the insurgent ships.
The Parnahyba, formerly guard ship
at Pernambuco, and the cruiser Ameri-
can are outside the bay to watch, it is
presumed, against surprise upon the
part of the Aquidaban or other rebel
ships.
DECKS CLEARED FOR ACTION.
All the insurgent warships, as well as
the government feet, have cleared for
action and battle now seems immi-
nent.
The United States cruiser San Fran
cisco, flagship of Admiral Benham, has
anchored in a most peculiar position
near the small island on which Fort
Laga stands. The San Francisco is but
| little way out of the line of fire, should
the Nictheroy open on Villegaignon
with her dynamite gums. On the other

The general opinion seems to be that
the battle will commence tonight or to-
morrow night.
