CARR PROBABLY PARDoSBD.
The Man Convicted of Killing Antonio
Basso to be Set Mt Liberty.

Basso to be Set at Liberty.
It was reported yesterday on good,
authority that Governor Reynolds has
pardoned James Carr, now confined in
New Castle Jail for the murder Of
Antonio Basso, and the former will
soon be Released from Jail.
While the sheriff has not yet been
officially notified of the action of tho
governor it is currently reported, and
generally believed TO be true, that the
power of the chief executive of the
State has been successfully invoked in
Carr's behalf.
Carr has frequently asserted that he
expected to be out of jail in short
while, and told Sheriff Gould few
weeks ago that he would soon obtain
his liberty.
The murder of Antonio Basso occurred
in the saloon of Patrick Mcmahon, No.
227 Tatnall street, about three years
ago. Basso, together with two other
Italians were drinking in the saloon
when Carr and another man entered. A
fight ensued when Basso was struck with
a beer glass. He was taken to his home
where he died few days later.
Carr was tried for the murder and
convicted of manslaughter.
Walter II. Hayes defended Carr at
the trial. The prisoner was sentenced to
four years imprisonment and had about
one year to serve.
1t is stated that the pardon was issued
by Governor Reynolds yesterday.
The friends of Carr declare that the
pardon has actually been issued and
that he will be out in few days.
Sheriff Gould knew nothing of the
pardon when asked yesterday in re-
gard to the matter, but stated that it
was not surprise to him in view of the
statements previously made by Carr.

for bringing Da Cana to sense of the
dignity OF the United States and its

citizens.
REPORTED suRRENDER OF DA CANA.
LONDON, Jan. 30.-Thc Brazilian
minister in London has not been in
formed of the surrender of Admiral
Da Cana to Rear Admiral Benham, but
has no doubt that the report to that
effect is correct. lie expresses the
opinion that the insurgents will be com
pletely broken by the surrender, and
that the end of the revolution is only a
question of few days.
Mr.. Bayard, United States Ambassa-
dor, has received no news regarding the
action of Rear Admiral Benham. He Is
of the opinion that il the reports are
true Benham's action was simply de-
fensive, and implies no political inter
ference. II is the duty Of war ships Of
any power, Mr.. Bayard says, to protect
their merchantmen. He does not expect
that any power will object to Benham's
course.
REBELS CAPTURE PORTO MADAME.
MoNTEvIDEo, URUGUAY, VIA GAL
WESTON, Jan. 30.-The HeralEs CORE
spondent in Rio Janeiro sends word
that the rebels have captured Porto
Madame, after a bloody fight, and cut
off communication with Rio.
The insurgent forces besieging Mic
theroy have made many prisoners. 1t
is rumored that a battalion of the second
line of Peixoto's troops has gone over to
the rebels, and il is believed in the
capital that the 5000 troops cJoped up
in Nictheroy will soon surrender.
The government party is becoming
spiritless.
The Aquidaban and Tamandars keep
up the bombardment nightly, the latter
having fired 600 shots within the last 25
hours.
Five hundred thousand cartridges
have been received by the rebel army in
Rio Grande do Sui.
ANOTHER REBEL VICTORY.
MoNTEvIDEo, URuGuAY,vIA CALVES
TON, Jan. 3O.-1'he Herald's correspon-
dent in Nictheroy sends word that when
Mocangne Island was captured on
January 18th there were ON the island
1870 National Guardsmen and % regulars.
The rebel sailors carried the island by
storm, with the aid of several launches.
The loyal troops boat Santa and theii
launch were captured, so that few es-
capped. When the capture of the island
became known on the mainland the
loyal troops were called out to line
shore, but many OF tho men were
moved down by the rapid fire guns on
the launches manned by the rebels.
In the Nictheroy hospital there are
now more than 800 wounded. Those
who are partially cured must be turned
out to make room for new arrivals. AT
least so were killed on January 10Th, in
addition to the 200 prisoners made, who
were taken aboard the Tiradentes.
Despite their losses, the soldiers in
Nictheroy act bravely and do not com
plain. In the hospital the beds are filthy
and the food wretched, but the doctors
do everything they are able to do.
The residences Of the town are badly
damaged, and, since the Aouidabar
moved up the bay, few street cars rur
in the streets, and the cutting of of TIT
gas supply by rebel shells is constantly
feared. The fighting there has beer
much hotter than in Rio.
Regular soldiers and national guards
men occupy the houses now, and if tn,
rebels land they will meet hotreception

FEDERAL OFFICIALS SURPRISED.

rive From Washington.
A set of handsome Brussels carpets
and rugs arrived at the Federal building
yesterday from Washington. They
are of an elegant gendarme blue with
old gold setting. The goods are for the
offices of the clerk of the United States
court and the deputy.
1t is understood that this is the first
recarpeting the offices have had for
nearly 90 years. They had been ap-
piled for two years ago. Their arrival
was a matter of great surprise to the
officials.
The clerk of the court made some re-
mark in regard to the long time they
had been waiting for the carpets when
his deputy rejoined to the effect that it
is good thing to have them at last.
SWELL" replied the clerk, in con-
templative way, "we may not be here
more than two or three years more"
The implication gathered was that he
possibly considered it closing up to the
time when the officials will move into
the new premises at Ninth and Shipley
streets,

SUGAR TK USr WINS.
Judge Butler Decides in Its Favor i

tine u 81 ClrcuiJ court IN fhllauelpnlus
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan. 30-Judgc
Butler, in the United States circuit court
this morning decided in favor of the
Sugar Trust in the suit brought by the
government to have set aside as illegal
the taking of the Philadelphia retineries
into tine trust. The bill OF complaint
was dismissed.
Judge Butler holds that the ABSORB
ton of the q. g. Knight Company,
Spreckles Sugar Refining Company,
Franklin Sugar Refining Company and
the Delaware Sugar House of Philadel-
phia by the American Sugar Refining
Company is not "a conspiracy to re-
strain or monopolize trade or commerce
among the several States, or with
foreign nations"
Judge Butler further says: "The
Federal government posses no jurisdic-
ton over the contracts or business or
property of individuals within the States,
except to collect revenue for its support"
Gas the contracts and acts of the de-
PENDANTS relate exclusively to the acqui-
sition of sugar refineries and their
business in Pennsylvania" the judge
continues, "they have no reference and
bear no relation to commerce between
the States or with foreign nations. The
contention of the government that
which monopoly incidentally secures q
monopoly of commerce among the States
is declared to be unsound and the de-
duction unwarranted."
The government will appeal the case
to either the circuit court of appeals OF
the Supreme Court of the United States

SHANGHAI, Sept. 13.-Rumors have

papers of September 18th announce
that General Yeh, Chinese commander,
reports having gained a victory over the
Japanese. It is supposed here, however,
that the Chinese have met with re-
verse at Ping Yang.
The floods in Corea still prevent the
Chinese troops from crossing the Inch
in river to attack the japanese intrench-
ments.
Another report current here say g the
Kirino division of the Chinese army has
crossed the Kulin river and is now hold
ng the city of Stunning, while awaiting
the advance of the main body before at
acking the Japanese right flank.
No reliable news, it may be added, is
