John Y. McKane, thev Gravesend Boss,
 Sentenced This ,aIorning.
 BROOKLYN N. Y.. Febe 19.-Early this morning Raymond street jail was sur rounded by big crowd anxious to see John Y. McKane taken to the county court house to receive his sentence. At 9:45 o'clock Sheriff Buttling and McKane en- tered carriage and were driven to the court house in closed carriage. Upon their arrival at the court house big crowd was in waiting. Over a score of policemen had been detailed to keep the crowd in check and they had their hands full. When the doors were open there was wild rush for admission. Not one third of the crowd gained admittance. The proceedings after the opening of the court were brief. McKane was told to stand up by the clerk of the court. Justice Bartlett then inn posed a sentence of six years imprisonment. His counsel immediately asked for stay for proceedings pending new trial and stated that they were pre- pared to furnish any amount of bail the court might ask. This motion was denied and soon after the sentence was imposed McKane was taken back to the Raymond street jail. He was badly broken up over the prospect of spending six long years in convict garb. He would make no state ment and was taken to the big cell in the debtors quarters which he has occupied since Judge Bartlett committed him to jail. As soon as the motion for a stay had been denied McKane's council started out to find judge of thesupreme court who will issue a certificate of reasonable doubt which will act as a stay pending an appeal to the supreme court.

KNIGHT8 OF COLUMBUS.
What is shown by the Annual Report of
 Secretary ColweII

What is shown by the Annual Report of
 Secretary Colwen.
 Daniel Colwell, national secretary of the Knights of Columbus, has forwarded his report to the state insurance commission CTS of New York, Massachusetts and Con- necticut. The report from each state shows the amount of business for the year, the number of deaths of members, the number now living, the number expelled or suspended, the number reinstated and the age of each member at the present time.
 The report shows slight decrease in membership in Connecticut, but great gains in Massachusetts, where Mir Cum mings has worked faithfully organizing new councils. The councils have not paid for themselves, so far as organizing is con cerned, but have brought a snug surplus to the treasury of the order.
 When the order asked for admission into the states of Massachusetts and New York, the laws of those states relating to insur- ance compelled it to insure recognition by the insurance commissioner of the state, hence the application to the commissioner for license to do business. The laws of Connecticut do not require fraternal orders to take out the license to do business with in the jurisdiction of the state
 National Secretary Colwell has sent out notices of the following deaths: John F. Coughlan Hartford; Marcus Huber, Mid dletown; Hugh McNulty, Derby; James Fitzpatrick and Patrick Bowe, Cromwell; i; Rev James J. Thompson and Michael Staunton, Taftville; Patrick H. Lennon and Jeremiah Sheehan, Bridgeport; John R. Meade and William A. Nessler, New London. The total membership subject to this assessment is ,310.

 The criminal side of the superior court will open tomorrow in the district court room. On the docket there are forty-six cases, but it is probable that only twelve will be tried. The latter are all jail cases, and the accused are now in jail.

 The demand for tickets for the admist sion to the consecration of Bishop Tierney on next Thursday is greater than the local clergy can supply. The demand is not by any means confined to the Catholic people, many non Catholic asking for tickets.
 At the meeting of the Catholic Literary association yesterday afternoon, the so- ciety voted to celebrate Robert Emmets birthday, and appointed a committee, con- sisting of President Peter Luddy, Vice President John Kelly and Secretary c. P. Bannon, to make all necessary arrange ments.
 Architect A. J. Smith has completed plans for the new addition to be added to the American Pin company's property on East Main street, recently purchased by the Waterbury Furniture company. The addition will be in line with the coping of walk in front of the Immaculate Con- ception church. It will be forty by sixty feet and with the old building will make one of the finest buildings of the kind in the state.

BIG FIGHT EXPECTED.
The Formidable Cruiser Arrives at Rio Alone and Anchors Just Outside the Bay. The Rest of the Fleet Supposed to Be Close Behind Her-Plan of Attack.


 RIO DE JANEIEO, Feb 19.-The long looked for dynamite cruiser Nictheroy, bought and equipped for the Brazilian government, is now at anchor off this port. She did not undertake to enter the bay, but anchored just outside.
 It was expected that when she appeared President Peixoto's entire new fleet would be with her-the America and the Piratiny Oestroyer), purchased and fitted out in New York, and the torpedo boats procured in England and Germany. But the Ncthe- roy came alone.
 It is presumed, however, that the rest of the fleet is on the way and probably is not far behind
 Rig Naval Fight Expected.
 That long looked for contest between the rebel guns and the famous pneumatic dy- namite rife which the Nictheroy carries seems now to be nearer realization than ever before. Much disappointment has been expressed by the friends of President PeiXoto's government that the Nictheroy did not immediately attack the rebel ships upon her arrival in Brazil from New York and many reasons have been suggested for her long inaction. ,e
 One of these reasons was. that she had been equipped ill such a hurry here that several important parts of her armament had been overlooked; that she was short of the proper kind of ammunition and that her big gun would not work with sufficient precision to warrant meeting the enemy.
 Again, it was ascertained that the diff culty of obtaining fighting crew for her was in great measure responsible for her inactivity, and some went so far as to say that it was really never intended that the Nictheroy should attack the Aquidaban or Republica. These warships were so valu- able to Brazil, it was said, that President PelXoto was unwilling to have them sunk by the Nictheroy and intended her dyna- mite should be reserved for vessels of d cheaper grade.
 Later reports indicated that the vessel had received all repairs that were neces- sary, and that a fighting crew had been gotten together, and the arrival of the yes sel off Rio harbor would seem to indicate that she is now ready for business.
 The Plan of Action.
 The original plan of campaign as laid down for the Nictheroy was about as fol- lows:
 She was to appear off Rio harbor as soon as possible, and there, with the aid of the loyal forts at the entrance, pen the rebel fleet in like rats in a trap. Anchoring in the shelter of these forts, she was careful to get the range of the rebel Fort Vile gaignon and then proceed to blow it into ruins with her deadly charges of dyna- mite. When this fort was silenced. the Nictheroy was to come inside the harbor, anchor under the shelter of it's ruined walls and from there shell the rebel fleet until they cried for quarter.
 It may be that with a commandant of undoubted loyalty and vigilance in the fort the rebels will not dare to run the gantlet again and that the Nictheroy will now begin to carry out the programme al- ready outlined.
