MISS POLLARD'S SUIT.
Fears that ItoMay End i'm a Tragedy
Breckenridge Likely to Lose.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, March 10-It is believed
that the sensational breach-of-marriag
promise and damage suit of Miss Madeline
Pollard against Representative w. c. P.
Breckenridge, OF Kentucky, will come to
close in the court here next week. When
the trial began yesterday it looked as
though it would drag its revolving way
through three or four weeks of time. Under
the ruling of the court. which excludes all
testimony, oral or otherwise, not bearing
directly upon the marriage promise, the
great mass of depositons taken by the de-
fense in Kentucky and elsewhere during the
past two months with a view of breaking
down Miss Pollard's character and giving
her the reputation of a public character.
will be thrown out. The sensational teSti-
mony of Mrs. Luke Blackburn and Chief
Of Police Moore has, in public estimation,
completely sealed the doom of the Con-
gressman, whose Only defense now is that
he made a promise Of marriage under
duress, at the muzzle of a pistol in the
hands of the complainant. There is fear
on the part OF the attorneys and friends
upon both sides that the trial may end in
q tragedy. The actions of Miss Pollard
yesterday were not only menacing, but ac-
tualy violent.

THE WAR MAY SPREAD.
TranscOntinental Roads Preparing for a
Big Fight Over Rates.

CHICAGO, March 10-A bigger war in
transcontinental rates than has yet oc-
Cured is looming up on the horizon The
fight when it comes, will be between the
Atchison and Southern Pacific on one side
and the Union Pacific on the other The
Rock Island and probably the Burlington
though this latter is not certain, will favor
the Atchison and the Southern Pacific
Great indignation is expressed by the
Southern Pacific against the Union Pacific
for its recent cutting of rates. 1t was an
nounced to-day that the Northwestern and
the Union Pacific were making a rate Of
81, one way, and SOL for the round trip to
California The AtchisOn was at first in
clined TO get out and cut a few rates it

fairs, but finally concluded that pending
the settlement or the dispute with the
Southern Pacific IL would create no more
complications. Once this matter is out of
the way, the Union Pacific will be given all

The adjustment of the Atchison- Southern
Pacific quarrel Is progressing satisfactorily.
Ihere is reaction coming In the Western
Freight Association, and predictions are
made freely that either Chairman Midgley
must go out or there will be no assoca-
ton In the near future. His answer yes
terday to the message of the receivers OF
the AtchlSon was not calculated TO pour
oil on the troubled waters, and the Atchi-
son VIII never remain member OF the
association with Midgley at its head and

gether.
The National Travellers Protective Asso-
clatlon IS up in arms against the Western
Passenger Association because of its aboli-
tion OF a 2-cent rate for 2.000-mlle tickets.
The association. some time ago, decided to
abolish these tickets, substituting 1.000-mile
tickets at a net rate of 2ia cents per mile
The travellers demand a 5,000-mile ticket at
500 net. and threaten, in case of refusal,
TO proceed against the roads under the
anti-pooling law OF Illinois

COXEY'S ADVANCE GUARD.
More Than 800 of the "On-to- Washing
ton" Army Assembled at MassillOn.

MASSILLON, O., March 10.-At last the
Coxey conceit has assumed definite shape
that gives notice to the local authorities
that it is something more tangible than
the theorizing of a crank. Coxey and
Carl Brown mustered the advance guard of
the "conmonweal" this afternoon, and the
authorities were surprised to see more
than five hundred men, most Of them stran-
gers, arrayed under the banners Of the
''on-to- Washington" crusade. A man who
has information as to some of the things
Coxey and Brown have not given to the
public yet said tonight that he had posi-
tive knowledge that the forces now 'in
sight would give Coxey anywhere from
5000 to 5000 men with which TO begin the
march. The authorities say that this COM
munity cannot and will not allow the as
senbly of half that many of tramps in this
vicinity. They nave held meeting and
nominated full city ticket.

CIGARETTES AND MORPHINE.
Fatal Habit Led to the Death of Gen.
Easements Brother.

YOUNGSTOWN, o., March 10.-Rert
Easement, travelling salesman for the Moon
Run Coal Company, of Pittsburg, and
newphew of Gen. John Easement, OF
Painesville, O., was found dead in bed at
the Todd House tonight by bell boy.
Unable to get a response to a knock on
the door, the boy climbed over the tran
som, and a bottle containing morphine
pills was found in the hand of the dead
man. The verdict of the coroner is that
death was caused by an overdose uf nor
phine Easement had been drinking heavily
and was an inveterate cigarette smoker.
Last night he complained OF sickness, bat
refused to call a doctor. A bell boy who,
early this morning, bought the morphine
was the last person who saw him alive.
Only last Monday he paid for $60,OG0 in
surance policy, and since that time he com,
menced to decline. He was twenty-five
years old, and in seven years, when a
younger brother had become of age, he
would have inherited 100000 from the es-
tate OF his father, the late Daniel Case

of the Union Pacific, and thereby amassed
fortune. Mrs. Easement lives in Paines-

RIO DE JANEIRO, March 10-There
now seems to be a definite prospect of a
naval battle and a prompt ending TO the
rebellion far as Rio de Janeiro is con-
cerned. The dynamite cruiser Nictheroy,
the torpedo boat Aurora and the torpedo
boat Destroyer, backed up by three OF the
torpedo boats brought over from Germany,
have arrived here For some time past IL
has been known that Peixoto's fleet was
off the entrance Of the bay, but the six
vessels mentioned did not pass the forts
at the entrance of the harbor until shortly
before daylight this morning. When the
sun rose the Peixoto fleet was seen to be
at anchor between Fort Sac Jaoa and the
famous Sugar Loaf Fort. The government
fleet is thus in small inlet or bay at the
entrance of the harbor and well protected
by the guns Of Fort Santa Cruz, as well
as by the guns of the two forts already
referred to. The Nictheroy, from the posi-
ton which she now occipies, is expected to
be able to throw her dynamite shells at
Fort Villegaignon, and when Villegaignon
has been silenced IL is expected that the
Nictheroy and her consorts will. steam up
to a sheltered position behind the island
upon which the Villegaignon fortifcations
stand and will from there shell the rebel
feet while being protected from the fire
Of the heavy guns Of the insurgent ships.
The Parnhaba, formerly the guardship at
Pernanlbuco. and the cruiser America are
outside the bay watching, 1t is presumed,
against surprise upon the part of the
ACuidaban other rebel ships. All the
insurgent war vessels as well as the gov
ernment fleet, have cleared for action, and
a battle now seems imminent
The United States cruiser San Francisco,
the flagship of Admiral Benham, has
chored In a most peculiar position near the
small island on which Fort Lage stands.
The San Francisco is thus but a little way
out OF the line Of fire, should the Nicthe-
roy open upon Fort Villegaignon with her
dynamite gun. On the other hand, no bet
ter position could have been chosen by the
United States admiral for Judging the ef-
fciency OF the handling of the dynamite
gun and for noting the effect Of the shots
as the San Francisco Is a little less than
half way between the anchorage Of the
government fleet and Fort Villegaignon.
The United States war vessels, as this dis
patch is sent are just outside the harbor,
and IL is presumed that they may come ir-
side when the action commences.
The general opinion seems TO be that the
naval battle will commence tonight or to-
morrow night For some reason or other,
the naval experts seem to have determined
that the engagement must be fought in
the nighttime.

A NEW YORK MYSTERY.
The Bottom Drops Out of Part of
Broadway, Leaving Deep Hole.

NEW YORK, March 1O.-The bottom fell
out of Broadway at the northeast corner
of Tenth street this morning, leaving a big
hole fifteen by twenty feet and about ff-
teen feet deep. The hole is cross-sectioned
by network of gas and water pipes and
extends far out under Broadway. The cave
in was caused by a defective sewer. The
gradual sucking away OF the sand has been
going on for some time, and il is marvel
Gus that the thin shell of cement and granite
blocks should have held the heavy trucks
that daily pass over that spot. If the break
in the sewer main had been a few feet fur
ther west the Broadway cable conduits
would have tumbled into the cavity and the
entire system stopped. 1t is a mystery
where the sand has gone 10. II is believed
that IL viii block other sewers in the yicin-
ity and cause serious disturbance.

these sand hills, some of which are one
thousand feet high. Several thousand acres
have been stalzed by prospectors and a town
site laid out. People are tumbling over one
another in their eagerness TO reach the

Under the duties as proposed some Of the
grades OF refined sugar from England
would come into this country az lower
rate Of duty than the American refiner will
be obliged to pay on this raw material.

polarization
Mr.. Searles, being asked as to the reason
Tor the strength of sugar stocks replied:
Il cannot conceive upon what theory the
stock is being advanced at this time in the
face Of the proposed legislation, which is
destructive to the industry. Unfortunately
contradicts the facts and figures submitted
to the committee Of the Senate. 1t looks
more than anything else like a concerted
plan on the part of the enemies of the COM
pany to accomplish it's destruction

"KICKv FROM THE TRUST.
Mr.. Sear1es Doesn't Think Refined
Sugar Protected Enough.

NEW YORK, March 10.-Treasurer
Searles, of the American Sugar Refining
Company, being asked to-day for state
ment as to the effect of the proposed tariff
bill in its present form, replied: There
seems to be an impression that any differ
ence whatever on the higher grades of
sugar necessarily means protection to the
sugar refining industry, and persons un-
familiar with the technicalities of the pro-
posed schedule assume that the difference
between the proposed duty on the lower
grades of refined sugar and the higher
grades is a protection to the refineries
They do not take into account the differ
ence in intrinsic value between the two
grades. To any one who is at all familiar
with the sugar business il will be apparent
in moment that when the varying rates
of the duty are reduced to a parity Of 100
degrees of raw sugar, there is practically
no gain whatever for the American refinerS.

Rebels Lose a Leader.

BUENOS AYRES, March 1O-Advices re-
ceived here to-day from Porto Alerge, cap
ital of the Rio Grande Do Sui, are to the
effect that the insurgents in that State have
received severe blow through the defec-
ton from their standard OF General Salgado
who until recently had been an enthusiastic
supporter Of the rebel cause He has now
completely abandoned the insurgents and
has dlsbanded the one thousand soldiers who
were under his command. 1t is rumored
that the election of civilians TO the offices
of President and Vice President has had
some effect on the attitude OF General Sal
gado. who refused to abide by the military
despotism of Peixoto. Friends OF the Bra
lillian government here say that General
Salgado's desertion of the rebels is the best
kind OF evidence that the rebellion in Rio
Grande Do Sui is going to pieces because of
it's own inherent weakness.
