OUT OF WASHINGTON.
SEIZED A BRITISH BOAT.
She Was Carrying Dynamite to the
Brazilian Rebels.

The excitement created at Rio Janeiro
harbor by the action Of United States Ad-
miral Benham a few days ago, in firing
upon one of the insurgent Admiral Da
Gamas warships In order to teach the
revclutionists the lesson that they must not
wantonly lombard vessels carrying the
stars and stripes, had not died out when a
fresh sensation was created on Friday by
the summary seizure of British tug by
order of Peixoto.
The boat captured by Peixoto's men is the
tug Cardiff. the property Of an English
coal company. She sailed from Cardiff
November -, touched ST. Vincent Novem-
Der "a. and arrived at Rio some days ago.
She was loaded with coal. which she
promptly proceeded to discharge and has
since remained In the haroor.
or late the movements aboard her have
been OF a mysterious character, and the
actions OF the crew aroused suspicion CT
the Brazilian officials. Shortly after she
left the wharf at which she had been load
ing with a cargo about which her men were
reticent, she was overhauled by one Of
PeiXoto's boats and commanded to stop.
With some reluctance her captain obeyed
the order, and the Brazilian officials prompt
ly went aboard and. despite the vigorous
protests of her captain, few moments
sehrch showed the Brazilians that their
suspicious were we'll founded. The Cardir
had stored beneath her decks quantity
of dynamite sufficient to have played
great deal of havoc with the government
forts and other strongholds.
The Cardiff, 1t was then learned, was TAX
ing the dynamite to the insurgents war
ship Trajanao. which is lying just outside
the entrance to the bay.
Informing her captain that he had been
detected in the act of smuggling the ex-
plosive aboard a vessel belonging to the
enemies of the government. the Brazilian
officials compelled him to return to the
wharf, where the dynamite was taken
ashore and put in possession Of those loyal
to Peixoto
Excitement at Rio.
city and became known on board of the
warships in the harbor. The matter was
reported by the captain of the Cardiff to
the British officials, but nothing has so far
been done, except the cabling of the cap
tain's statement and of PeiXotos reasons
for making this seizure to the home govern
ment.
cident is awaited with a good deal of in
terest and anxiety. The English residents
at Rio are disposed, to condemn Pefxoto
and to grow indignant over what they term
the III treatment of the Cardtfs captain:
but in all other quarters Peixoto Is consid-
cred to have been fully justified in doing as
he did.
Outside of the English colony, Great Brit
aims pretense about observing the neutral
ity between the belligerents receives little
credence and people cannot imagine how she
will be able to explain so violent q breach
of faith with Peixoto.

THE NEW PINAFORE.

1t does not appear to have been neces-
sGry for the great Americo-Brazilian
battle-shlp Nictheroy. which was fitted
out in New York to destroy Admiral
Mello's rebel fleet at Rio, to wait for
war until meeting the enemy. News
from Southampton brings the intelli-
gcnce that the vessel has been a scene OF
riot, insubordination and lighting ever
since she started from New York. and 1t
seems surprising that she has thus far
escaped a regular mutiny.
Lieut.. Conway and thirty-oight men
who reached Southampton yesterday tell
hard stories about the ship and those in
command OF her They declare that
the boat Is unseaworthy, n the officers
ignorant n inefficient. There was no
discipline, and the Captain. for his own
protection. Ind TO order all the liquor
to be thrown overheard.
Admiral Mel!o made n mistake when he
failed to intercept the NictEcroy with his
flagship. the Aquldaban. 1t Is very 0ues-
tionable whether he would have had the
trouble of fighting to capture her. But,
after the Brazilian fashion, the rebel
leader seems to have sailed out OF Rio
only to sail back again. lie IL now in the
harbor once more, playing at war, and It
Is dificult to predict what will become OF
the Nictheroy.

Living in Italy.

One great advantage of living in Italy
lies in the fact that there is far less
work in the kitchen on account of har-
coal being used instead of coal. These
fires brighten up in a moment, causing
neither lust nor smoke, and as they are
lighted just when they are required for
cooking. n then allow to go out, this
arrangement obviates the necessity of
of keeping up a roaring fire all day long.
Three francs a week is sufficient to
spend OF charcoal. The dustman comes
every day, of his own accord. to remove
all refuse, and 1t is customary to give
him two or three pence ut the end of the
week. 1t is a golden rule when house
keeping in Italy to keep as few servants
as possible, otherwise gossip, instead OF
work, is the order of the day, and as
their voices are all pitched in a high
key. the noise that ensues Is consider
able. With regard to washing. IL is
generally sent out, unless n number OF
servants are kept. The ironing. how
ever, Is always lone in the house. '

Mortgage sharks ut Work,
To tho Editor:

TO tho Editor:
| wish TO call your attention to an abuse that
is being carried on, moro particularly now than In
tho past. A certain class of lawyers, who control
mortgages for estates and private inventors. are
using the power invested in them to take adyau-
tdsc OF these hard times aud threaten foreclosure
on parties who are the least behind in taxes.
Their mode Is TO clap lis pcnlcns on soon
after first notice Is served, anil then serve PAPERS
ard open negotiations. o%rcntimes compcllinc
parties to settle up taxes with this extra burden
On besides. This may he legal. but it's simply
robbery, Many u poor soul In lying awake nights
and In despair for fear Of losing their all, invested
in sSme house and home. This is not all confined
to poor people. hut merchants, who are trying
thrir best to pull through these hard tlme7. You
have stopped many an injustice not half so bad
or far-reachinc as this. To their credit he It said
that the large moncycd institutions are not doing
this 1t is confined largely to real estate LAWYERS.
The ~siSty-day tax clause is now about duo, and
tho trouble will increase from this time forth.

THE CONGRESSIONAL ELECTIONS.

There SHOULD be no doubt about the
election Of William l.. Brown and Isidor
Straus for Congress. 1t Is very desirable
that the Democratic Administration
should be backed up by the New York
Representatives, and both the candidates
are men Of high reputation for integrity.
of good capacity and earnest friends OF
sound Democratic policy.
Moreover, both are Independent in
their political views, and their nominal
ton is in accord with the principles up
held at the ballot-box last November.
There is nothing of n machine character
about their nominations, and they were
made candidates in response to the
voice of the people and not by any boss
dictatlon.
Just at this time 1t Is important that
New York should have Representatives
of high character at Washington, and
the election of Col, Brown n Mr..
Straus ought not only to he assured. hut
ought to be secured by increased ma
%jorities.
