A SHARP BATTLE SATURDAY IN
RIO HARB0R.
One of the Insurgent Warships Bom-
bsrds the Shore Bastrries at Close
Range-Msny Reported Killed
and Wounded.

Rio DE JANEIRo, Jan. 15.-An engage
ment between the rebel vessel Guiana
bara, supported by the guns of Cobras
island, Saturday, and the government
positions along the shore, was very hot
while it lasted. The Guanabara had
the best of the fight, running close in
shore and making very effective use OF
her guns, which caused the government
forces to retire from their positions,
leaving number of dead and wounded
behind. Peixoto's officers. while the
Guanabara was within easy distance of
the shore, suddenly made an attack
upon her by means OF number of small
boats filled with troops, but this
movement was unsuccessful, as the
Guanabara opened such a deadly
fire that she easily beat off the boarding
parties, killing number Of soldiers who
manned the email craft. 1t Is difficult
to get at the facts in regard to the num-
Der OF killed and wounded. The rebels
claim that at least hundred OF Peix-
oto's troops were killed or wounded
during the attack upon the Guanabara
by the small boats, and probably as
many more during the rebel ships at
tack upon the land batteries. On the
other hand, reports say the losses are
trivial and that the insurgent reports OF
the number of killed and wounded are
grossly exaggerated.
There has been another engagement
between the rebel ships and government
forts, but the encounter consisted OF des-
ultory firing at long range and no serious
damage was done either side.

Reed, Burrows. Dalzell. Payne and
Hopkins, Republican members of the
ways and means committee, had hasty
conference today and agreed to make a
demand for the recognition of Repubi-
can amendments to the Wilson bill.
This action was due to the re-
port that Richsrd of Tennessee, who
will be in the chair during consideration
OF amendments, would recognize only
Wilson for committee amendments.
The plan agreed upon by the Republi-
can leaders was that Immediately after
Wilson's first amendments on tobacco

that Wilson has no more right than any
other member OF the house. He will
urge that Wileon is not acting by au-
thority OF the full ways and means

to the Republican members OF the

Tho Southern Pacific Magnate Accused
OF sequestering a Lot of His Late
Partners Property--A Big
Suit Pending.

SAN Francisco. Jan. 15.-The Exam
iner prints dispatch from New York
stating it was rumored on Wall street
today that on account of trouble between
Mrs. Leland Stanford and @. P. Hunt
ington there was some question as to
the latter's ability to control the Gal
weston, Houston and Texas railroad and
other lines in which Stanford is said to
have held large interests with Hunting
ton.
According to the story Mrs. Stanford
discovered that Huntington withheld
from her knowledge large blocks OF &C.
curities held by himself and Stanford
in common, and that there is possibil-
ity of a suit against Huntington for over
million dollars.
The Examiner in local article says
the story ia substantially correct.
Judge Spencer, Mrs. Stanford's sttor-
neg, who is reported 10 have written
sharp letter to Huntington demanding
an accounting. When asked about the
story he said 81 muet decline to be
interviewed on that subject. II Mr..
Huntington wishes to talk he can do 90.
He may tell as little or as much as he
pleaees. He is not an attorney protect

Mrs. Stanford ascertained, says the Ex-
aminer, that $500, 900 of her husbands
indebtedness to the Pacific Improve
ment company had been paid. By
whom, she did not know, as che had not
authorized such payment. An investi-
CATION showed that the 100000 had
been made up by the sale OF GER
tain railroad securities. These securities
had not been in Mrs. Stanford's posses

securities had not been included in the
inventory of the Stanford estate. it be.
gan to be suspected that Huntington
had sold the stock to himself and was
keeping control of certain important
securities. Then it was ascertained
that a long list of securities was
in the same condition. held by Hunting
ton, but claimed by the Stanford estate.
Then it was that Spencer wrote to

produced suit will be commenced to Sc

AFFAIRS IN THE FArHERLAND.
Herr Miqu Efforts to Pass His Tobacco
Tax Bill.

lax Bill
BERLIN, Jan. l5.-In the reichstag
today DIR. Miguel, minister of finance,
said the necessity OF an increase in the
imperial revenue was generally recog-
nized. The reduction OF the customs
revenue amounted to 35, ,000, 900 marks,
and no practical counter proposals we're
made against the tobacco bill. 1t was
suggested that the essential point was
that the imperial charges should not be
shifted upon the shoulders of individual
states, for it was claimed the empire
must rather give than be perpetually
asking.
Herr Richter, in reply, said the bill
would certainly mean death to the to-
bacco industry.
After further discussion of the tobac
co bill, it was referred to the stamp tax
committee in spite Of the opposition OF
the Radicals, South Germans, Peoples
party and Socialists.
The incident at the banquet OF the
commercial congress on Friday, last,
which caused MIGUEL to leave the ban
quet ball in anger after being criticised,
has been settled by a satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION which has been furnished
Miguel by the president of the congress.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-In accordance

came. Representative Houk of Tennes-
see has made up table therefrom,
showing the number employed from the
various states and the number such states
are entitled to in proportion to
their population as shown by the census
of 1890. The table shows that the east
and the states near the capital have
more than their just proportion, while
the west and south fall short of their
share. Houk suggests that the civil
service commission make no more GER
tifcates from states having an overplus
of oficeholders, and that their number
be speedily reduced. 1t is likely that an
amendment will be inserted in the
legislative, executive and judicial ap-
preparation bill, directing that the sp-
portionment of the offices be equalized
according to population.
In the following taken from the tables,
the first figures show the number of
office holders from the states mentioned.

they are entitled on a population basis

The table further shows that the
states OF Alabama, Arkansas, Florida,
Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missile

have 2545 persons in Office, or about 800
less than the District OF Columbia alone.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Jan. 15.-The se-
rious part OF the Corbett- Mitchell di-
lemma seems to be passing away and
the comical side is beginning to make
itself felt. A number OF attorneys were
discussing the question in one of the
hotel corridors, when one remarked in a
joking manner:
"The governor and the sheriff dare
not interfere with this contest"
"Why not?" was asked.
Because either would be liable to i'm
prisonment or fine or perhaps both. +"
This was laughed at, when the attor-
ney said: "Wait moment and l will
show you."
Procuring a copy of the city ordin-
ance, he turned to where it states any
person found guilty of interfering with.
or preventing the operation of, any or
dinance ia liable to a fine of 500 or
imprisonment for 80 days. This was a
staggerer to the crowd, and they could
hardly understand it.
Judge Gibbons, OF the municipal
court was asked if the law had been
rightly interpreted. ut is true," said
Judge Gibbons. "By interfering With
the Corbett- Mitchell contest the gov
ernor, sheriff or militia would be liable
to fine and imprisonment. The ordin-
ance allowing such contest cannot be
interfered with, even by the governor"
"Whet would you do if the executive
should be brought before you ON such a
charger"
"Well," replied the Judge, II should
be governed by the circumstances. AT
any rate should do my duty"
