serted by him. done by the upper ten in
the high-toned clubs of the city" nightly.

did. The court could not see IT in that light
however. and the men were fined IS each.

The Tariff Bill.

At IL rs the clerks Of the House began to
read the Wilson bill, relieving each other
about every fifteen minutes. 1t required
two hours and twenty-five minutes to read
the bill. even at the rapid rate at which the
clerks proceeded.
Immediately after the reading of the bill
Chairman Wilson suggested that for three
days the bill should be open to amendment
by sections. instead Of having amendments
nately.
Mr.. Reed (Me) retorted that he was glad

Resfdents Of PeFnambuc0 Care Moth
ing About the War.
NEW YORK. Jan. 1.-THE steamer Para
ense. Capt. Thomas. arrived last night from
Pernambuco. Ceara and Para She brought
news from Pernambuco as late as Deem
Der IS. At that time the Nictheroy was
standing on and on. outside the harbor,
and would not enter. Capt. Thomas stated
that one day the signal was hoisted on the
marine observation tower on shore, "A
man-of-war approaching from the south"
The officers Of the Nictheroy were able to
read the signal with their glasses, and i'm
mediately the ship was headed for the open
sea, and disappeared from sight, not to re-
turn until the following day at Z p. m.
The man-of-war thus signaled proved to
be the Barracuda Of the British squadron
She coaled and proceeded to Rio, in spite OF
q petition Of the local British merchants,
that she be retained at Pernambuco to pro-
tect British interests in case of an outbreak
at that point.
Capt. Thomas saw nothing of either the
America or the Santuit and Piratiny.
At PernambucO the torpedo boat Aurora
was anchored. There was a good deal Of
suppressed excitement at Pernambuco but
no collisions between civilians and soldiers.
At both Ceara and Para all was quiet, and
business much as usual.
The Inhabitants knew very little about
the war operations at Rio and elsewhere
and seemed to be little interested.

THE DEADLY TROLLEY
Its Advocates Making Renewed Efforts for
Congressional Support.
An Outside Speculative scheme-rhe
District Committees Opposed, but
General Sentiment Being Invoked.

1t Is learned upon most excellent author
fty today that a sustained and systematic
effort Is now being made by interested per-
sons to work up sentiment in the House
and Senate favorable to the introduction of
the trolley system for street railroads In
the District Of Columbia. The effort, which
Is being made quietly and unostentatiously.
Is for the purpose Of preparing the way for
proposed legislative action In this line and
to this end. 1t IL not the purpose Of the
promoters Of the plan to waste any more
time upon the House or Senate District
committees to obtain authorization for the
trolley scheme, as it is generally conceded
that the sentiment Of those committees is
not favorable to the trolley, but the pres
ent action is with a view to subsequently
proposing the authority to use the trolley
by an amendment to an appropriation bill,
or some bill offered by the District COM
mittee.
Whether the amendment will be offered
In the House or Senate appropriation COM
mittee or whether 1t will be proposed dur
ing the consideration Of some bill In the
House or Senate, has not yet been deter
mined. and IL contingent upon the encour-
agement which the promoters of the troll
ley interests meet in sounding members and
Senators upon the plan. The primary eff
fort Is confined at present to an attempt
" StAnuidtc interest IN the trOlley ana
work up q favorable sentiment.
Not the Metropolitan.
1t is not understood that the Metropolitan
railway Is behind this effort. On the con-
trary the Metropolitan people have given
recent and firm assurances that they are
sincere in their request for authority to
lay an underground trolley system on their
9th street line and are anxious to give the
underground trolley q fair trial. believing
that 1t can be worked successfully, and
having the guarantee of the representa-
tives Of the Buda-Pesth system Of its prac-
ticabllity. At this time they are asking for
hearings before the House District commit
tee on their bill introduced during the extra
session Of Congress last summer, and will
be given an opportunity some time this
comforting authority to put the under
ground trolley in operation.
An Outside Syndicate.
Indications point to a close connection
between the present promoters Of the over
head trolley plan and the syndicate of out
side capitalists which has from time to
time been dickering for the control Of sew
eral lines of street railways in this city.
In fact it may be stated with reasonable
assurance of positiveness that 1t is this
syndicate which is behind the present
in furtherance of an extensive speculative
scheme, having for its basis the right to
operate the overhead trolley on any street
railway line in the city and the simulta-
neous requirement Of a number of the best
lines that are now using horses.

LATE NEWS BY WIRE:
Admiral da CANA Defines the
Policy of His Party.
MELLO HAS GONE FOR MORE TROOPS.
Beliigerent Rights Will Be De-
manded.
OF ESS.

Copyrighted. 1894. by the United Press.
RIO JANEIRO. Jan. 10. via Montevideo,
Jan. 15.-An interview was had yesterday
on board the Almirante Tamandare, with
Admiral Da Cana, who Is In command Of
the insurgent squadron before Rio Janeiro.
The admiral said:
Our policy Is to hold on until help comes.
We have not men enough to hold the MAIN
land. Eight days ago We recaptured the
governments magazine on Governors Is
land and seized It's cases Of ammunition
and thirty barrels Of powder.
We also destroyed much Of the material
stored there On Thursday last We cap
tured 1ngenho Island, on which is an un-
finished fort. The garrison at this point
numbered 1O6 men. We made seventy-three
prisoners. four Of whom were officers.
Much ammunition and other supplies. to-
gether with two cannon. fell into our
hands. Many of the prisoners transferred
their allegiance to us and shipped on board
our vessels. None Of the captured officers
did 20. however.
Mello Has Gone south.
I'VE can hold our own for two months,
but do not believe we can do 30 for any
longer time. We do not know where Ad-
miral Mello is at present. When he left
Rio Janeiro he went south to organize and
help We are in accord with Gen. Conner
cindo. the commander Of the victorious
army at Curityba. in the state Of Sac
Paulo. This place Is 600 miles away.
Gen. Gomercindo has too many cavalry in
his command to allow our vessels bringing
them to Rio Janeiro. Admiral Mello may
bring back with him q cooperating force.
Not Fighting for Monarchy.
IF we get the Nictheroy We will surely
win. We will demand belligerent rights
based on these three points: Our force COM
prfses all the Brazilian navy in service ex-
cept two slips: second. we control three of
the southern states. the government having
no organized force south of Sac Paulo. and,
third. We have made war for nearly five
months and have an organized government
In the south"
When questioned as to the object Of the
tnsurrection. and IL 1t was the purpose of
the leaders Of the movement to restore the
monarchy, Admiral Da Cana said:
mo. We are fighting for a plebiscite in
order that the people may say freely what
form OF government they want. We hope
to win. The people are with US at heart.
As evidence of this I call to mind that all
but three Of the newspapers published in
Rio Janeiro have been suppressed Mem
bers of the national guard desert the gov
eminent by twos and threes daily and come
over to u.s.
Speaking of the disadvantages under
which his fleet was conducting the fight.
Admiral De Cana said that the insurgents
had no machine shops at which they coull
ships. should they occur. and that they had
no magazine on which to draw for supplies
Of ammunition.
The admiral was emphatic in his denun-
insurgent hospital on Cobras Island to be
nred upon. Eight shells, he said. had lan1-
ed there, and the scenes when they ex-
ploded among the wounded were frightful.

No One ON the Orange Train Hurt.
The Dover express makes no stop east Of

cars OF the South Orarg train, which did
the te,escoping. received lively shaking
up. but none Of the passengers on 1t were
injured. Several trains following that
