PERNAMBUco, Jan. 3.-AdmiraI De
Mello and his warships, the Aquidabon
and Repnblica, have not yet arrived
OH this port and it does not seem that
there is any immediate probability of a
naval battle to be fought here.
According to the insurgent point OF
view, President Peixoto is reduced to the
last extremity and an early ending of the
civil war'may be anticipated.
III the government reports are to be be-
lieved, Admiral De Melo is upon the
point of surrendering as his ships are in
need OF all necessaries for continuing the
war and the sailors are grumbling at not
receiving their pay and are anxious to
make peace with the government.
On the other hand it is reported that
the insurgents have wona most important
victory in the ranks and that they are
rapidly advancing towards the capitol.
Bage which has been besieged by the in
surgents for some time past is said to have
fallen into the hands of the rebels.
The latest report received here is to the
effect that Admiral DeMello started Mort h
TO meet Nictheroy; but upon hearing that
she had been reinforced by the America,
the rebel admiral is said TO have put about
and to have gone southwark again.

TO-DAY MEETING.
s;usic Hall Crowded again This Forenoon
TO Hear Moody aud sanIScy.

To Hear moody ana Sanhcy.
Nearly every seat in Music hall was oc-
cupied when Mr.. Moody opened the spe-
cfal meeting this morning, by reading
selection from the scriptures and Offering
prayer. Hymns were then sung by
Messrs. SanlSey and Burke and Mr.. Moody
spoke on the subject OF "Love." He said
that while it was possible
for a physician To do good work
without having love for his patient, and
for lawyer TO plead case well without
feeling love for his client ii was impossible
for any person TO reach the heart OF
another without love. The Christian
worker must have love for his fellowmen
as we'll as love for God, and he could have
no success IL he tried TO accomplish his
results from a sense OF duty.
Mr.. Moody said that he was sick and
tired Of the word "duty," and he had no
faith in those who had no other inspira-
tion than that. 1t was only when a
-man-felt that the work Was in
him and that he weighed ton
that he could accomplish the best results.
Mr.. Moody spoke for nearly an hour
on this subject, drawing his
many illustrations from his
store of anecdotes and presenting
many points that received the approval OF
the large audience. The greatest interest
was shown during the meeting and there
was scarcely sound to be heard in the
large hall while Mr.. Moody was discuss
ing the subject that was of more vital
importance TO every Christian worker.

THE GLOBE BANK.
National Bank Examiner Day Makes His
Report Itdty

Mr.. Daniel Day, the National bank
examiner, has practically completed his
work upon the books of the Globe bank. As
far as he can determine Bennett has taken
about $4,000 in actual cash and there is
no reason TO believe that the deficiency IN
this respect will exceed this sum by any
considerable amount.
There IN another feature of the case,
however, that will be brought to the
attention of the board Of directors
at the next meeting Since Benefits
disappearance number OF claims
have been made upon the bank
by persons whose financial standing and
business reputation have always been ex-
cellent. Some Of these men have
presented their pass books TO show
that they had deposited checks
for large amounts in the bank. These
checks had since been entered in the
books at the bank and have finally been
located at other banks, having been
through The clearing house.
IT il believed that Bennett c1shed those
checks and appropriated the funds for his
own use.
Another claim that has been made is
even more difficult 20 settle. One Of the
most reliable customers OF the bank has
stated that he deposited n
check at the desk just be-
fore the departure Of the teller.
He had neglected to bring his pass boo
and as the proper credi. was not gi~sn In
the books ne has nothing but b!l deposit
slip to prove tho truth OF his r@atenlent.
Mr.. Day Will report ,h0 result OF his
examination 20 tho otIlc.as at Washing
ton and will also mike fral r.
port to the director O. the bank ct lno
regular quarterly meeting which will be
held at II o'clock on Monday. Al that
time the various claims Of the different
customers viii be submitted and the
members OF the board will decide what
action they viii take respecting them. VI
they are allowed Bennctts' deficiency viii
be materially increased, although Cash
Ter Noyes was unwilling 20 state just how
much money had probably been appro-
priated i'm this way.
Mr.. Day and his assistant arc now
engaged in investigating the books Of
these customers, and their report will
have n great effect in influencing the
action Of the members Of the board at tn,
meeting on Monday.

CHIEF ASKED TO RESIGN
but He Will Probably Decline to Accom-.
MEDIATE New Bedford's Mayor.

Bg Tne associated Press.
NEW BEDFORD, Mass, Jan. 3.-Chief of
Police Douglass today received a letter
from Mayor Brownell requesting his
resignation forthwith.
The chief declines this morning to say
anything regarding the letter, but it is
believed that he will decline to resign.
Chief Douglass was formerly chief OF
police in Gloucester, from which city he
was brought by Mayor Brock
last year. He is generally regarded as
an efficient officer, but the appointment
OF an out OF town man was displeasing to
many people, and led Mr.. BrownelI in his
campaign to declare in favor of New
Bedford man for New Bedford. The
mayor now believes it to be his duty to
remove Mr. Douglass and appoint New
Bedford man.

ELLIOTT TRAGEDY RECALLED
One of the brothers now Asks for Par
don in Ohio.
I'm The Associnted Prcss.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Jan. 3.-There are
nearly 100 applications for parole on file
before the court of penitentiary managers
now In session. Among the number
are p. j. Elliott, 20-year prisoner, who
participated in the Elliott tragedy on
washington's birthday in 1891 in Colum-
bus. 1t Is stated that Ralph Il. Paige,
the Painsville banker, will make applica-
tion for parole at this meeting.
The Elliott tragedy that made such a
sensation three years ago, was the result
of newspaper quarrel that had
extended over q period OF
two years. P. J. Elliott and his
brother, w. J.. Elliott, the editor OF the
Sunday Capitol, were walking down High
street, intending to go to the Office OF the
paper. Near the corner of State street
they met the editor of the Sunday Herald
and although the street was crowded by
those who had assembled TO watch the
Washington's birthday parade the men
commenced to shoot Mt each other. The
editor OF the Herald and an innocent
man by the name Of Hughes were killed,
while a large number were more or less in
jurcd. w. j. Elliott was sentenced 10 life
Imprisonment and his brother who fired
the fatal shot was sentenced to 20
years. While public sentiment in general
is favorable to the pardon OF the brothers
there Is q powerful opposition to such an
action as Elliott was fearless newspaper
man who made great many enemies.

Brief In an Important Case.
By The Asocidted Press.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 3. Ex-Sena-
tor Edmunds of Vermont is in Washing
ton, preparing brief in an important
case to be argued before the supreme
court. 1t is the appeal by the Interstate
commerce commission from the decision
of Judge Gresham before he became sec
retary of state in the case
against w. G. Briscow, j. s. Keefe
and w. r.. Stirling. These men refused to
answer the question OF the commission
regarding several different railroads and
the alleged violation of the Interstate
commercial law in allowing the Illinois
Steel company certain privileges that
were not accorded TO other citizens.
These men also refused to
show the stock books of the
company and other papers demanded by
the committee. Suit was brought under
section II of the law to comply with the
demands OF the commission, this section
providing that in such cases application
should be to court OF the United
States to compel witnesses to answer.
a Judge Gresham held that the portion of
the section which requires courts
to use their progress to aid inquiries be-
fore the interstate commerce commission
is null and void.
Senator Edmunds is assisting the at
torney general i'm the case and Charles $.
Holt is attorney for the de-
fendants. The case was set for argue
ment on Jan. s, but as it is
desirable to have the case heard before the
full court, it is probable that it will be
postponed until the existing vacancy in
the supreme court is filled.

A TRAP SET IN THE HOUSE
Which caught the Democrats into Adj

Set for Hawaiian Hearing--Frye's
Resolution In tho Senate.
BIT THE #. s-llts.eettttte.tll Ptes..


WAsHINGToN, Jan. 3.-There was not
very brilliant sitting on the opening of
the tariff debate in the house this morn
ing. When Speaker Crisp mounted the
rostrum at high noon and dropped the
gavel, there were many vacant seats i'm the
public galleries.
The designations OF Colonel Fellows and
Mr.. Fitch of,New York, who have been
elected respectively district attorney and
comptroller OF New York were read. and
the speaker also presented the creden-
tials of Mr.. Adams, OF Pennsylvania, who
has been elected TO succeed the late Mr..
O'Neill.
The Hawaiian Resolutions.
The fight then began, Mr. Boutelle on
behalf of the Republican, putting forward
the Hawaiian matter TO antagonize the
tariff bill.
Mr.. McCreary, the chairman OF the
foreign affairs committee, sought to end
this subject by trying TO make an arrange
ment by which Friday and Saturday
of this week should be set aside for the
consideration OF the resolution reported
by the foreign affairs committee in lieu
of the Hit and Bartell resolutions.
MIR. Hit, the head OF the minority of
the foreign affairs committee, was
on his feet and as soon as Mr.. McCreG-y
had made his proposition he stated that
inasmuch as this proposition gave the Re-
publicans substantially what wss desired,
namely, time fixed for debate OF the
Hawaiian matter, he would be glad to
accept il.
The Democrats failed to mustera quorum
in the house and until there is one pro-
posed the tariff is blocked. There is little
prospect of quorum today.
Houteiie Makes { ri p Angry.
EDuring the discussion upon TIE
Hawaiian matter Speaker Crisp
became angry with the persistent efforts
of Mr.. Boutelle of Maine to obtaine a
hearing upon his resolution to the effect
that the executive has in the perogative
of the house.
The speaker with some manifestation of
of temper said that there was
no occasion for preceptitancy.
Mr.. Boutell would not remain silent,
however, and again the speaker raped
him to order.
"If the gentleman only possesses him
self" said he, "the chair will try to state
the status OF the resolution"
he went on 10 e8paln tnat the resoIu-
tion had gone to the o"mmttee on for
egu affairs and Cd hten reported
back with the reconiu-- .-dGtlon that IL lie
on the table, a substitute being offered in
it's stead.
Mr.. Turner OF Georgia made the point
that the substitute having gone TO the
calendar its privilege had been lost.
The house adjourned at 2 p. m. for lack
of a quorum.
