TREACHERY In BRAZIL.

LONDON. Jan. 3.-[Copyright, 1894,
by the Associated Press IA letter from
the Associated Press correspondent at
Pernambuco, dated December 31st, says
the Brazilian government guardship
Parnaguba was sent north suddenly
upon tho plea that her services were
needed in order to suppress an ineurrec-
tion of con Sicts upon the island used as
q convict settlement, bat the departure
OF the ship from Pernambuco was or
dered for fear she would join the rebel
\ feet. A feeling OF distrust and treach-
cry pervadee all ranks OF Brazilians The
better classes all favor the monarchy and
even the governors OF states are anxious
to join the rebels, but dare not for fear
of the military. There are 300 men on
board the Nictheroy, though there is
scarcely room for $50. Scarcely one OF
the 100 Brazilian cadets on board has
ever been to sea, and the result will be
that in action they will impede the
working OF the ship, even ii nothing
worse. With such crew of Brszllians,
only half an American crew and officers
without commissions, she cannot fire
her first gun without danger of becoming
pirate. In addition to this, many now
express the opinion that the dynamite
gun cannot be worked.

FRESNO, Jan. 12.--Sheriff Scott, who
with a posse has been in pursuit of
Evans and Morel the past two weeks,
returned to Fresno this afternoon.
None of the poese came back with him.
Scott had little of Importance to COM
municate. He says he lost all visible
track of the bandits week ago last
Thursday, but has information and be-
lieves they are around Camp Badger,
in Tulsre county.
Scott has had Deputies Peck and
Miles with him, and has seen nothing
OF the other members OF the
posse since last Thursday, when he
separated from them at Dunlap. Peck
was left in charge OF the posse, and
Miles accompanied Scott back as far as
Reedley, where he stayed. The mem
bers OF the posse were to meet TODAY in
Drum valley, where Scott left Peck this
morning, and the sheriff will meet them
at the appointed place Monday morning.
He states that had he not been mslead
by an old rancLer near Pine Flat. he
second day they were out.
MESSAGES FROM EVANS.
Scott says Evans wrote two messages
for him. One has already been men,
toned. The other was never received
bv Scott, as Chris went back to Hog
camp, where he wrote it, and destroyed
it. 1t was full OF bravado, and Evans
probably concluded it would be unwise
to further incense the sheriff against
him. A number of verbal messages
have been received by Scott from Evans,
all OF threatening and boastful charac-
ter, the desperate claiming he wonld
hunt Scott instead OF the latter hunting
him.
FALSE INFORMATION. .
The sheriff has been hindered in the
pursuit by false information. He would
give no names, but will probably attend
to the fellows when an opportunity
arrives. He il, determined to rnn the
desperadoes down and will not quit the
field until he has done 30.
AGAIN ON THE TRAIL.
Sheriff Scott. Deputies Bed lord, suzel
and Russell left Fresno tonight on a
special engine for the south. All were
heavily armed with Winchesters and
pistols. 1t is believed they got come
positive information concerning Evans
whereabouts.
BOUND FOR vIsALIA.
The special engine win Scott and his
deputies went down the main line to
Goshen, probably bound for Visalia.
Evans and Morel are known to be not
far from that town, and may contem-
plate visit to the formers family.
Thacker left here last night, armed with
Winchester, for the south, and it was
probably he who summoned Scott.

SUSPENDED PENSIONERS,

The construction of the act of December

uncertain in its bearings upon the rights of

sioner of Education Harris considers one

sued by the bureau, was given out yester-
day. 1t embraces 500 volumes selected

Were made by seventy-five or eighty lead
ing librarians of the country. The total
estimated cost of the volumes selected is

one man on the Newark is ill with yellow
fever; that he has been transferred to the
hospital and that he has ordered the New

That is ali Admiral Benham says on the
subject, so it is believed that there is but
one case of the dreaded fever in the entire
American feet. Every precaution will be
taken to prevent the spread of the disease
ana the authorities here are confident that
no more cases will develop on the Newark

HAWAIIAN INVESTIGATION
Senator Morgan's Report to Be Read to
the Subcommittee.
The Testimony Said to he Strongly
Against the Administrations
MOrGan's En- Embarrassment.

Mr.. Morgan. chairman of the committee
on foreign relations of the Senate, has
called subcommittee together Tor tomor-
row to consider the report which he has
prepared on the Hawaiian investigation.
The members of the subcommittee them
selves do not know what the character of
the report will be. and ii is, therefore, i'm
possible to ascertain in advance. The mat
ter is open to inference. however The bur-
den of the testimony taken is strongly ad-
verse to the administration. The investiga-
tion was exhaustive. and as much latitude
as possible was extended to both sides, the
purpose Of the committee being to ascer-
tain the exact truth as TO the situation.
The testimony antagonistic to the position
Of the administration is said to be so over
whelming to render il very difficult for
even the most accomplished administration
supporter to make up a case for Mr. Cleve-
land.
The Landing of Troops
1t has been shown in the committee that
Capt. Witse was impelled to land the
troops OF the Boston. not on account Of the
request Of Mr.. Stevens. which he was not
competed to respect. but by the reports re-
ceived by him from his own officers whom
he had sent ashore to investigate the situa-
ton. and four hours before he received the
had made all preparations to land them. 1t
was shown also that foreign residents not
Americans. in the absence of forces of their
own nation in the harbor. had drawn up a
request to Capt. Wiltse to land troops, and
asked 5is protection. and that this request
was withheld merely because II was dis
covered that troops were being landed be-
fore it could be delivered, and it became un-
Necessary.
Mr.. MOrGan's Embarras sment.
1t Is known that Mr.. Morgan fully un-
derstands the situation. and it is said that
his private conclusions are in accordance
with the undisputed testimony. Whether
he will deem 1t good policy to entirely dis
regard all party obligations and treat the
subject merely in a judicial way, or wheth-
er he will consider this hurtful and prefer
to take a negative position or even attempt
to help Mr.. Cleveland out Of his embarrass-
ment. is what no one can ascertain in ad
vance Of his declaration to the committee.
There are excellent reasons for believing
that he will treat the matter judicialiy, but
at the same time he is said to be embar-
raised by the fact that he is publicly re-
garded as not feeling kindly toward Mr..
Cleveland. and might be subject to the sus-
picion of being influenced by this.

Yesterday afternoon Chairman Bankhead

tion there. Each room was visited, and the

number Of persons employed. .ex planned. When
the investigation concluded Mr.. Bankhead
said the situation had not been overdrawn.
The District did need a new municipal
building, and needed one badly He said
further that the committee of which he was
chairman had decided to favorably report a
bill for new municipal building and he
requested the Commissioners to submit
plans and specifications. together with
bill to be presented authorizing the con-
struction of same.
He told Commissioner Ross in the prepa-
ration OF the bill to put in a sum that
would insure for the District a home worthy
of the national capital. He thought further
that If the plans were made to suit the site
now owned by the District in front of the
market house the chances for the enact
ment OF the bill would be better, for il
would do away with the opposition that
would certainly follow were the building
constructed ABOUT the city hall. Commits
architect, Mr.. John b. Brady. had made
elaborate plans for building on this site
which had received the approval of the for
mer board of Commissioners and which
would be sent to Congress for the info:Ina-
ton of the committee having the matter in
charge.

The Commissioners were highly elated
over the suggestion of Mr. Bankhead. and
set about at once preparing a bill. 1t is
understood that they will ask for 81. 25O. 900
to do the work
IL will be recalled when the subject of a
new municipal building was first broached
and the site IN front of the Center Market
was selected as the most practicable. the
representatives of the Market Company ap-
peared before the Commissioners and stated
that they would be willing 10 withdraw

rany to widen the two approaches to the

OF the problem, the Commissioners readily
assented, and now Architect Brady claims
there is ample room on this reservation up
on which to erect a municipal building. The
star has already published a plan of the
building, as proposed by Mr.. Brady, and the
Commissioners will send the same to Con-
gress during the early part OF next week.

THE CIVIL SERVICE LAW.

Connecticut Democratic Committee.


Civil Service Commissioner Roosevelt is
now collecting information regarding the
personnel of the democratic state central
committee of Connecticut, which lately is
sued a circular addressed to the federal and
state officers of that commonwealth. The
circular requested funds for campaign pur-
poses and carried graduated assessment
Of from 1-2 to 10 per cent. according to
the salary received by each official. Within
the past few days copies of the circular
have been laid before the civil service COM
mission. 1t will also be ascertained whether
any members of the committee are officers
or the government and also the method of
distributing the circular. The issuance of
such circulars. where the purpose is spe-
officially for political purpose. is punishable
both By fine and imprisonment. The law is
very specific. 1t says that no employe of
the government shall directly or Indirectly
Solicit or receive. or be in any manner con-
cerned In soliciting any assessment sub
scrlption or contribution for any political
purpose whatever from any person receiv-
Ing a salary from the United States treas
ury.''
The law further provides that no person
ehaH in any room -or building occupied in
discharge of official duties by any officer
or employe of the United States mentioned
IN this act. or in any navy yard, fort or
arsenal, solicit in any manner whatever or
receive any contribution of money or any
0sbcT OF Nalue 1Or any POLITICAL DUR
e1oe whatever" The penalty for violating
tEo foregoing provisions is a fine not ex-
ceedins sJ.bO Imprisonment for not
more than three years.
One of the members of the Connecticut
etate central committee. says the WASH
inston correspondent of the New York
Sun. is Henry Goddard, collector of Gus
toms at Bridgeport. While 1t Is not charged
that MIR. Goddard sent out the circular mis-
connection with the committee makes him
smenable TO the law. and Commissioner
Roosevelt is quoted this morning as saying
that the commission had clear case
against Mr.. Goddard. The members Of the
committee who are not federal officials are
also liable to prosecution, IL is claimed, in
ssmuch as in one case the circular was
sent to a postmaster whose office Is In his
house
Ii Is understood that Mr.. Roosevelt or
some other member of the committee will
proceed to Connecticut after further data
fhall have been received by them, and per-
sonally investigate the case.
