SAN FRANCISCO, Feb 1s.-The Chroni-
Gle prints a story received by private letter
on the brig Galilee Of a revolt on the Is
land OF Riatea, one of the Society group.
On December "A last rebels pulled down the
French flag on the newly erected govern

difficulty between the supporters OF the
traders. who are daily growing jealous of
the French and their growing commercial
influence.
Immediately after the occurrence the
French transport Durance was dispatched

down the flag did not surrender the town
would be bombarded.
The rebel. who happened to be a wealthy
cltlzen, was surrendered and taken on board
the vessel, which sailed at once for the
penal settlement Of New Caledonia 1t had
been ordered from Papeete that he be shot
nve days after his arrival at New Caledo-
MIA, and there is every reason to believe
that the order was carried out.
Similar uprising took place about two
years ago, when the French first seized the
island The natives were then silenced.

Papeete
This latest disturbance occurred when the
french nag was hosted on the new town

down the flag
The lot fell to the unfortunate citizen who
was subsequently delivered up to be shot.

NAVAL PROMOTIONS.
Secretary Herbert is Said to Favor a
Plan Of Selection.

Secretary Herbert is Said to Favor a
Plan Of Selection.
Secretary Herbert has been very much
occupied of late in the preparation of a
plan for the reorganization of the navy for
submission to the naval committees of both
Houses. He has consulted officers repre-
senting the various branches of the service,
and will endeavor to recognize and respect
the interests Of each so far as consistent
with his ideas of the legislation necessary
to improve the personnel 1t is said that
he will propose an arrangement that will
remove the present embargo on promotions,
and which keeps an officer out of places Of
trust and responsibility until he reaches an
age when he is hardly fit for them, and
their duties are irksome and uncongenial
to him.
1t is said he will recommend very few
changes IN the STAFF corps of the navy, but
will confine his proposed revision of the
personnel of the navy to the line. with the
special object of giving officers suitable
commands before they become superau-
nuated. Those who have talked with him
on the subject say that he will insist on a
plan of promotions by selection, to be SO
elimination. meeting of line officers,
which was attended by a large delegation
from Annapolis, was held at the Navy De-
partment Saturday afternoon in regard to
the proposed naval legislation, and a COM
mittee was appointed to consider the var
ious provisions of the Hale bill and other
measures affecting the navy, and to report
at the earliest opportunity. SO FAR, no steps
have been taken for a conference between
the line and the stan on the subject of
naval reorganization, and it looks as though
there would be a great lack of harmony
between them in the matter.

ALL ON BOARD DROWNED

CINCINNATI. Ohio, Feb. ia special
to the Commercial Gazette from New Or
leans says:
The rumor prevailing here that the steam
er Willard, belonging to the Nicaragua
Navigation Company, having on board six
~ men, had been lost off the Nicaragua
coast a week ago has been confirmed. Not
man of those on board the vessel sur
vived to tell the story.
A reporter met an English gentleman last
light In the st. Charles Hotel, who is going
to Nicaragua and who has interests in that
section.
He has received word from Greytown con-
frming the rumor of the lost vessel. This
authority said cable was sent to London
telling of the loss and the watery grave
found by all on board. The cable was sent
to man In London who is interested In
the Nicaragua Navigation Company. in the
service of which was the Inflated vessel
with the sixty men aboard.
The Willard was a tug of twenty tons
burden. in command of Capt. Joe Thomp-
son. and 1t was making its way with the
sixty men from Greytown to Bluefelds,
where they were to do some work for the
navigation company. Several weeks elaps-
ed and no news was received that the YES
sci had arrived. Rumors were circulated
that 1t had gone down in the Caribbean
sea, and that all on the ship were lost in
the sQuall which some time ago blew ter

While the confirmation Of the loss of the
ship Is made in the dispatch forwarded to
London, no particulars could be ascer-
tanned.
1t will never be known whether the vessel
went down in the gale which is purported
to have prevailed in the waters, or whether
1t sprang a leak which the men could not
stop.
Capt. Anderson, the English gentleman
who Informed the reporter of the confir-
nation of the rumor. said he was acQuaint-
ed with Capt. Thompson, and has seen the

Ends With Pistols Drawn.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Feb. ia special to the
Republic from Nashville. Tenn. says: The
bitter war that has been raging In the First
Colored Baptist Church of this city broke
out anew yesterday morning and a general
fight with chairs and pistols followed an
attempt to read petition. The row started
over the insurance money of $4,000 on the
church, which was burned some months ago.
The petition suggested arbitration. Pastor
Purdy. whose honesty is in question by one
faction. refused to let the petition be read.
and after the services one of the expelled
members, prominent negro lawyer, Taylor
G. Ewing insisted on reading II.
The Purdyites drew chairs on him, and
began the fight, which waxed hot, three
shots being fired in the melee, one of which
struck Andrew Bishop in the head. Scott
Crosthwaite, a leading negro physician. was
down on the floor. with three men on top of
him. but when the shots were fired every
body fled
There were ten arrests. and the hearing of
the cases today will be breezy. At one time
about everybody in the church had chair
drawn on some one else. One woman went
out Of the window with a chair hanging over
her head carrying sash and all. Another
woman, when arrested, tainted while being
lifted into the patrol wagon and was left
behind.

OUTLOOK FOR PRIVATE BILLS.
Not Bright II IA Quorum mt Night SEES

Not bright III n Quorum at Night SEES.
siOns is Insisted on.
Congressman with private pension bills
to push will find it uphill in this Congress.
There is rule setting apart Friday nights
for the consideration of these bills but last
Friday night only half a hundred members
were present, and Representative Kilgore
of Texas raised the point of no quorum, and
all legislation was blocked.
Night sessions are proverbially SHINY at
tended.
Members with private pension bills have
been making anxious inquiries today
whether Mr.. Kilgore intended to establish
a principle and expects to continue demand
ing quOrums on Friday nights. They real
lie that it will be impossible for private
bills to pass if this requirement is adhered
to, because seldom is there more than one
member interested in a bill, and the COM
bined forces of those with such measures in
charge would not constitute a quorum
Ctfer members are hardly expected to ac-
Quire enough interest in general needs to
sit through the evening session.
When Mr. kilgQre was questioned regard
ing his intentions today. he replied: II am
afraid there will have to be quorum to
pass pension bills. on general principles
l do rot think any public business should
be transacted without a majority of men,
bers, certainly not Dy nandtul OF men,
bers. This rule for night sessions seems
to have been intended to provide an easy
passage for private bills l do not believe
in most of these private bills anyway, par
ticuarly with a depleted treasury. Most
pensions which are deserved can be secured
through the pension Office. Others which
are of sufficient importance to come before
Congress are important enough to be con
sdered by majority of the members The
committee on private pensions has been
very conservative this session, recommend
most of them relatives of veterans of the
revolution and war of 1872. or Mexican
war veterans"

Queer Communications Received by
the Ways and Means Committee.
The ways and means committee has pre-
served special bunch of papers contain
ing remarkable propositions from people
in various parts of the country as to the
means for meeting the government de-
ficiency. One of these urges a tax of $40
on each base ball or foot ball club in the
country and an additional 500 for every
game of base ball or foot ball played. An
other proposition is that reduction of
10 per cent be made on all salaries to gov
eminent officials, over 1000, the reduction
to continue until the hard times are over
Another reformer proposes a heavy in
ternal revenue tax be placed on revolvers,
pistols. dirks. daggers and other weapons
used in committing bodily violence. Various
plans for protecting workingmen have been
suggested. one of these being tax of 500
on every immigrant coming to this coun-
try to work.
Some of these propositions have con-
tanned threats of various natures. One
man at Columbus, Ohio, has sent many
threatening postal cards. written in red
berS oil the committee. Each of this man s
letters bears the impress of large seal
similar to a notarial seal. In the circular
margin of this are the words, marshal of
the states, and whiting the circle, state
or Ohio. The seal is well executed and
gives the letters an appearance of being
the work of some anarchistic organization
though they are believed to be sent by one
man. No effort has been made to appre-
bend the writer, as he is regarded as harm
less, but the letters may be turned over to
the inspectors of the Post Office Depart
ment.

Miller. He was here only a few weeks

a clean cut case. What's the use sending
cases up to the grand jury if the defendant
is to be turned loose? There was enough
