CALLS A CAUCUS.
Holman ACCedes to the
Request.
DEMOCRATS NOT SATISFIED.
Signs of Trouble for the Wilson
Bill.
THE CHAIRMAN HAS NO FEAR.
1t Is Evident That There Is Trouble
Ahead in the Camp of the
Majority.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-Chairman Hol-
man of the House Democratic caucus has
issued call for caucus tomorrow night
at z O'Clock. Forty-seven Democrats have
signed the request for the call.
The purpose of the call is to consider the
merits of the tariff bill and is accepted as
the first open demonstration of opposition
to the bill in its present form. No men,
Der OF the Ways and Means Committee
signed the call. but Chairman Wilson and
his associates express their willingness to
go into caucus. Wilson said his under
standing was that the customs features
and all other sections of the bill would be
considered. Many Democrats deprecate
the caucus, as they see in it the prospect
OF disagreeable clash within the party.
Representative Hilborn has received the
following dispatch from San Francisco:
AT meeting of the wool-growers, dealers
and manufacturers held this day it ives
resolved that we. wool-growers. dealers
and manufacturers of California, ire
specttve of party, do hereby protest in the
most emphatic terms against the changes
IN the tariff affecting wool and woolens as
proposed by the Wilson bill. We assert
tnat to remove the duty from wool and
destry. an industry which gives EMPLOY
ment to $4,000 of our citizens. We call
upon you as a representative OF California
interests to work and vote against these
propositions.
This was signed by j. r. Hall, b. F.
Flint, Thomas Dunigan, G. S. Moses, j. P.
Hulme, j. E. ShOobert, committee; Jacob
Rosenberg president and Fred S. Moody
secretary.
Hilborn called the attention of Wilson.
chairman of the Committee on WAYS and
Means, to the dispatch and corrOborated
the views it contained. Burroughs of
Michigan will use the matter in his speech
against the bill.
NEW YORK. Jan. 4.-The Advertisers
Washington special says: The income tax
is almost certain to be knocked out of the
Wilson bill by the Senate. If retained by
the House. If the Republicans will vote
with the Eastern Democrats in the House
the chances are the proposition will never
get as far as the Senate.
The Democrats who want to make fight
against the Ways and Means Committee
on this proposition have been making 10
estimate of their strength and have come
to the conclusion the committee can be de-
feated in the House if the Republicans will
cast practically a solid vote against the
income tax. 1t is proposed to hold meet
ings Of the Eastern delegations and make
thorough canvass of the matter.
One of the most influential Southern men
in the House said to-day that. as he figured,
the Republicans would be almost solidly
opposed to the income tax. The Demo-
crats of the East would oppose it almost
to man, and there will be serious div
ision among the Democrats of the South
and West on the question. If the oppos-
tion can be brought to act together the
committee will be defeated.

NEARING THE END.
BraZil'S Troubles Will
Soon Be Over.
GETTING READY TO FIGHT.
There Will Be a Great Naval
Battle.
AN AMICABLE ARRANGEMENT.
General Belief That the Revolution
Will Not Last Out the Pres
ent Month.

NEW YORK, Jan. 4. The Herald's
Montevideo correspondent cables: News
has just been received here from the Rio
Grande do Sui frontier that General
Hipolito has abandoned Santa Anna City,
and that all the Castilhista families there
have left and gone to Riveri. General
Rafael Cabeda, with 5000 men. has set out
to meet Hipolito and his forces to give
them battle.
The Herald correspondent in Rio Ja-
Deiro sends word that the two cruisers,
the NictheroY and America, and two tor
pedo- boats have left Pernambuco for
Montevideo to join PeixotO's loyal ships
here. They are expected to soon arrive.
There is a pretty general feeling in Rio
that the revolution will surely end this
month. either through the result of gen.
eral naval engagement between the loyal
and rebel fleets or by means of confer
ence between the representatives of both
sides.
The resignation of Sena Chaves, Peix-
oto's Minister of Marine, caused much
comment, coming as it did just when a
great naval conflict was expected at any
time. 1t did considerable damage to the
Government cause in public estimation.
Rear-Admiral Coelhoneto was appointed
yesterday to fill the vacant position.
Rio DE JANEIRO. Jan. 4. - Admiral
CoelbOneto has replaced Admiral Chaves s
Minister Of Marine, and it is reported the
change indicates that the Government in
tends to inaugurate a more active mari
time policy and that the new Minister of
Marine will immedis tely take steps to pre-
pare Peixoto's feet for an engagement
with the rebel squadron.

WILL SURELY FIGHT,
Though Charley Mitchell Has Found
a New Grievance.

JACKSONVILLE, Jan. 4.-The general
opinion Is that the managers of the Duval
Club are determined 10 60 to almost any
lenght 10 defeat Governor Mitchelps oppo-
sti0n. Sports say that the club cannot
now be beaten out of the fight, and it is
understood that arrangements have been
perfected whereby the fight can certainly
be pulled off, though at the expense of
many anxious to see it.
The work being pushed at the arena is
said to be only to bluff the Governor. but
tickets of admission are still being sold
and it is the intention 20 charter a train to
be in readiness forty-eight hours previous
to the fight and to be held thereafter forty
eight hours to guard against possible de-
tenttOn. The spectators will be given the
tip and hurried on the train, which will
carry them to the battle-ground, leaving
the Governor, the militia and the rest of
the opposition forces. it is hoped. far
behind
1t Is believed that IL the courts sustain
the legality Of the fight the Governor will
adopt some heroic measures in order TO
show his personal Jurisdiction. Manager
BOwden tonight stated that the line of
action had not yet been fully decided
upon, but in few days the club would be
prepared to make it public. Whatever was
decided upon would be within the limit of
the law. and be emphasized the fact that
the fight would certainly come off.
Bowden has written to Governor Mitchell
in regard to the clubs position in the mat
ter, but as yet has received no answer.
lie thinks from tbs Indications there is
really nothing very serious in the Gov
ernOr's attitude.
Charley Mitchell has another grievance.
He says Corbett signed the new articles
through his manager, Brady. and Mitchell
will not abide by them unless he signs per-
sonally. Mitchell is on the wrong track
Corbett put his own name to the articles
and Brady had nothing to do with it.

death Caroline had found a friend in

after Sankey's death Scoggins was ap-
pointed her guardian and applied to Judge
Coffey for letters of administration on her
adopted fathers estate. This application
was c0mbated by John Sankey on behalf
Of the Pennsylvania relatives, and thus
began the long legal struggle which just
ended. The relatives who had ignored the
girl when she was In want suddenly be-
came overweening in their fondness for
her, and John SankeY made two trips to
California, set detectives to watch the
girl ard tried to abduct her. He followed

sent her, and there pistols were drawn in

her S75 per month pending litigation.
Then the relatives gave up the fight in
California and transferred it to the courts
of this State, and again Caroline won.
Then they tried the Illinois courts for the
Chicago property. The lower court de-
cided in the girls favor. aud now news
has come that the court of last resort in
Illinois has sustained the under court, and

FALSE REPORTS.
The Rebels Have Not the Advantage
at Rio.

NEW YORK, Jan. 4.-The Brazilian
Minister of Foreign Affairs cables the
Herald from Rio that the statements cir
culated in Europe relative to the position
of the rebel squadron under Saldanha da
Cana are false. Impartial observers of
the insurrection and foreigners residents
in Brazil feel that the Government Mare
chal. Floriano. is perfectly strong. while
Da Cana, even il he wished to land forces
at any point on Rio bay. is unable to do So
owing to lack of men.
Statements inimical to the established
Government of Brazil are circulated In
Europe, probably by spectators, who de-
sire for their personal ends to deprecinte
Brazil credit. The report that Da CANA
had succeeded in effecting landing at the
Custom-hou in this city, which would

LONDON. Jan. 4.-The Pail Mall Gazette

Mackay, late president of the Indian Cur

yet had time to judge if the closing of the
mint is a success. Speculation led 10 ab-
normal importations of silver, while the
banks imported largely and coined in order
to be ready to meet bills already lodged by
speculatOrs who were hoping for a rise.
In consequence there were fewer bills
than usual on the market and speculators
were compelled to buy sterling largely to
cover sales. This will be entirely stopped
shortly and there is no doubt the measure
will eventually be a success"
