MR.. COCKRAN'S LITTLE JOKE.
VICTORY FOR THE MAINE MAN.
Forcing the Democracy to His Posi-
tiOn Properly Regarded as a
Personal Triumph.

WASHINGTON, April 14.-Tom Reed was
a center of attraction as he entered the
House to-day. His associates Oh the Re-
publican side gathered about him aud
warmly congratulated him on the action
of the Democratic caucus yesterday in
voting for a quorum counting rule. 1t
was regarded as a personal victory for
Reed. Democrats Joined in good-natured
congratulations. Bourke Cochran remark
ing that Reed was no longer the original
and only Car, as the Democrats had de-
clded to be czars also.
Reed conferred with Dingley, Burrows,
Cannon and other Republican leaders as
to the course to be taken when the rule
will be brought 10. In his talk with men,
bers, however. it was agreed that Reed
would hold the minority to vote for any
rule counting a quorum. To friend
Reed remarked that it was hardly wise to
announce a policy and thus place your
cards face up on the desk. 1t has been
made clear. however, that the only thing
Reed Will contend for is rule free from
ambiguity, and which will accomplish the
end as well as recognize the principle for
which he has so long contended.
Repre- sentative Dlngley Of Maine talked
with Reed and with many of the Rppub-
lican mem bers as to the prospective course
of action. Dlngley would not outline any
policy, but gave some personal views.
which reflect the general feelings among
Republicans. "Whie am not author
lied TO state what course will be adopted,
/ seems evident that no opposition will be
made to rule which clearly recognizes
the principle that an actual. visible
quorum can be counted to do business. A
rule Of that nature would be such a COM
pIete Endorsement of the rule enforced by
Mr.. Reed in the Fifty-frst Congress. that
there would be every reason why we
should accept ii with satisfaction. Nor is
is it likely that questions would be raised
against non-essential details so long the
substance of the parliamentary principle
for which we have contended is recog-
nized."
As soon as the brief and frutless session
of the House eaded to-day the plans OF the
Committee on Rules were changed so as

MELLO GIVES UP.
Surrenders His Troops to
Uruguay
AND ABANDONS HIS SHIPS.
Leaving Peixoto to Pick Them
Up Again.
THUS ENDS THE REBELLION.
The Rebel Admiral Could Not Stand
Against the Fleet of the
President.

MoNTEvIDEo, April 1.-THE Associated
Press correspondent is able to announce
that Admiral de Melo and 1900 insurgent
troops who embarked on the frontier Of
Uruguay, after having been driven out of
the State of Rio Grande do Sui. have sur
rendered to the Uruguayan authorities,
aud the rebellion in Brazil may be said to
have compile ely collapsed. The authori-
ties of Uruguay disarmed the Brazilian
lnsurrectionists.
The Government of Uruguay sent a
force of troops on board the CUNT boats to
the point where Admiral Melo landed the
Brazilian insurgents from the Republica
and the other vessels. Eventually the
Uruguayan troops surrounded the Brazil
ian insurgents and the latter surrendered.
President Peixoto's squadron found the
Aquidaban ready for battle, but Oh nearer
approach it WAS seen that she had been
abandoned by her officers.
The insurgent vessel was promptly
taken possession of and is in deplorab BILE
condition, almost destitute of supplies,
with her engines almost useless. The
Aquidaban will be repaired as soon as
possible, but it will need good deal OF
money to place her in trim.
As the Republca is understood to be in
the hands of the Uruguayan officers and
as Admiral Mello and his army ara pris-
oners, the complete downfall of the rebel
lion is admitted.
The state of siege at Rio de Janeiro has
been extended to June Is, but it is be-
lieyed, in view of the surrender of Ad-
miral Mello and his insurgent forces,
that the Brazilian Government will shortly
be able TO raise the state of siege.
Advices received here from Rio Grande
do Sui state that after severe fight
ing the insurgent forces that al
tackled The city succeeded in occupying
the suburbs, the Government troops
falling back upon the city proper,
On Tuesday re-enforcements for the Gov
ernment troops arrived, whereup0n Ad-
miral Mello ordered his forces to re-em-
bark on the insurgent warships. They
left the harbor on Thursday.
