IN HORRIBLE PLIGHT.
Free Masons Interceding for Da Cana
and His Followers.

Lisbon, April 3.-Admiral Da Cana,
the Brazilian insurgent leader, having
asked permission to be landed with his
followers, in Buenos Ayres, the govern
ment of Portugal has replied that the
Brazilian refugees cannot be permitted
to land anywhere except on Portuguese
territory. and such landing will be al
lowed only on conditions preventing
them from returning to Brazil for the
purpose of re-engaging in warfare
against the Brazilian government. An
other war vessel is being sent by the
Portuguese government to Buenos Ayres
to assist in conveying the Brazilian fugi-
tives to Portuguese territory. The fugi-
tive insurgents are in a horrible plight,
many suffering from wounds, and others
from disease, and some from both. The
condition of Da CANA and his associates
is so deplorable that the Free Masons of
the Argentine Republic have joined in an
appeal to King Carlos of Portugal, ask
ing his good Offices on their behalf. APP
peals have been sent to President Cleve-
land at Washington and to President
Peixoto, asking Mr.. Cleveland's inter-
vention and Peixoto's leniency.

HOTEL BARTLETT BURNED.
Twenty Thousand Dollar Loss at York
Beach.

Portsmouth, N. H., April 3.-Shortly
after this afternoon, Hotel Bartlett at
York Beach, Me-, with. the stable and
adjoining buildings, burned. The fire
was first discovered in the rear of the
stable and the flames spread rapidly,
soon communicating with the main
building, three-story frame structure
which, with the contents, was complete
ly destroyed. The property was owned
by Henry E. Evans. The loss on the
buildings and contents is estimated at
$4,000; partially insured. The origin
of the fire is a mystery. The hotel was
one of the largest at the beach. Work.
men were engaged in putting it in readi-
ness for the summer season.
Fire at Richmond.
Richmond, April 3.-The buildings be-
longing to Patrick Donovan at the North
End, were destroyed by fire last eve
ming. The honse was enveloped in
flames at the time the fire was discov-
cred and the high wind made it impossi-
BILE to save the ell and barn. The hose
companies did efficient work. Don
ovan had recently bought the place and
was about to repair it. Insured for $1,000.
The fire was probably set by tramps as
nobody was living in the house.

TEN THOUSAND OUT.
Great Strike in the Building Trades in
the Windy City.

Chicago, April 3.-Fully 10000 men,
representing plumbers, painters, brick
makers, machinists, brass, steel and iron
workers are on strike here for higher
wages or against reduction ordered by
their former employers. Besides this
army there are 900 cigarmakers out, who
are perfecting an organization to enforce
their demands. All the other strikers
are strongly organized and affiliated with
district or national bodies. Yesterday
all the members Of the Journeymen
Plumbers association, from 1900 to 1900,
walked out of the shops and buildings
where they had been employed. Several
hundred members of the Junior Plumb
ers' association joined them. The
plumbers refuse to accept reduction in
their wages from $3.75 to 1925 and 50 a
day. with a proportionate reduction in
the wages of the Junior plumbers. The
plumbers are also asked to provide their
own furnaces in future. They have $780,
900 and the backing Of the Building
Trades Council with which to fight the
master plumbers. This is their first
fight in eight years. At that time they
struck for an eight-hour day, and won in
less than an hour.

EVIL DAYS FOR PERU,
That Unhappy Country Has Two Presi-
dents and Dictator.

Lima, Peru, April s. Ex-President
Caceres, one of the candidates for the
presidency, has been proclaimed dictator
of Peru. He is supported by the army,
but the congress and the people are hos
tile to him. Thus Peru is now in the
hands of dictator and two presidents.
This peculiar state of affairs follows
the recent death of President Berm udez
when his ministers all sent in their
resignauions to First Vice Presiden
Solar, and Second Vice President
Borgono, backed by Caceres and the
soldiery took possession of the palace
and commenced issuing DEGREES. Thus
today Peru has two Presidents,
constitutional one, Senior Solar, and
revolutionary one. Colonel Borono.
Meanwhile the city is patrolled by
str ong guard, the church towers are full
of soldiers, all the shops are closed,
and business is suspended. Ihere mas
been no rioting, but considerable alarm
is felt
Colonel Borgono has already named
a cabinet, choosing for his ministers,
SENIORS Garcia, Urutia, Dulanto,
Antayo and Labuente.
Senior Solar, being unable to obtain
any satisfactory answer from Caceres,
sent severe note to tne eX-mlnlsters,
renroaching them for their conduct in
only recognizing him on paper, but de-
livering up to Colonel Borgono the mil
itary forces and all the prerogatives OF
the chief executive.
He charged them with being the au-
thors of the revolutionary movement
aud holds them responsible for it's con-
seouencers. SENIOR Solar is now in
hiding. but it is reported that he has
sent statement of his position and his
claims upon the Presideny to the diplo-
m attic corps here.

Room and Was Burnei to Death.

Boston, April Sin ffe in lodging
house kept by Charles F. Dwinell at 5
Dover street, early this morning, Rev.
John M. L. Babcock, ,etired clergy
man, aged 70, lost his life.
One of the inmates who first became
aware of the presence Of FIRE hastily don
ned clothing and notified other dodgers.
In few moments confusion reigned and
several dodgers attempted risky escapes
from ladders which had been raised
against the front of the building by the
fremen. Mr.. Dwinell appised the fire.
men of the fact that Rev. Mr., Babcock
had not yet escaped from tie fourth floor,
on which he occupied a rear attic room.
The flames were directly il the face of
the firemen, and it was some minutes be-
fore they had fought their way up the
staircase. When his apartment had been
reached he could not be found. A few
minutes later, however, ons of the firemen
stumbled upon PROSTATE body upon the
third floor. When the body had been
raised and removed to flor beneath it
was found that Mr.. Babcnk was dead.
The body was frightfully burned about
the lower extremities. From the position
in which it lay when discovered it is in
ferred that Mr.. Babcock attempted to
escape, but was overpowered by the
smoke and then suffered death.
The deceased was always man of sim
gular taste and manner. It was stated
that he was a man of considerable means.
but was not disposed to gsatify his sense
of personal comfort, and hence had chosen
to occupy rear attic room. He has
lodged with Mr.. Dwinell for period of
two years. He has not been actively en-
gagged in the discharge of his ministerial
functions for five years, but has occa-
slonally supplied vacant pulpits.
John Martin Luther Bakcock was born
in Andover, Oxford county, Maine, on
September 20, 1922. His fathers family
removed to Boston in 1875, where the

two years in Plaistow, N. H., after which
he went to Wilmot in the same state,
where he studied for the Baptist minis
try. He entered the clerical profession

Ending the war-The Governor Came
pensary Law-The Brother of One of
the Victims Created Scene.
Columbia, S. c., April Sat 10 this
morning, the militia were drawn up in
front of the State Capitol, and shortly
afterward Governor Tillman appeared
and made an address. He explained the
condition of affairs, charging the recent
trouble on the opponents of his ad-
ministration and the old whiskey sellers,
but chiefly upon the daily goading of the
newspapers devoted to the old oligarchy.
He said the dispensary law was good
one: that he was sworn to execute every
law on the statute book, and that he
proposed to do so. He did not propose
to turn the state into an armed camp to
enforce the law. He would issue a proc
lamation tomorrow, based on section $40
of the General Statutes, which gave him
the power to absolutely control the mu-
nicipal police. The constables would
not be put to the work of searching pri-
vate residences hereafter. They would
be made to watch the police, railroad
and express companies. If the police
would not do their duty, he would dis
place them, and employ police who
would. The governor alluded to the
threats made against his life. He was
not to be frightened. The people had
sent him to occupy the Executive Man
sion and he proposed to do so and stay
there. even if he had to come out as
cospse. The speech was received with
great enthusiasm by the assembled sol
diery, and remarks were general. THAT'S
the conclusion of the governors speech,
John Gary Evans, State Senator from
Aiken county, read General Order, No.
10, announcing that there being no longer
any need existing for their services, the
troops were dismissed with the thanks
of their commander-in-chief for their
prompt response to his call.
Du ng the time the Governor was adj
ment killed at Darlington. who was in
the crowd cried out: "Why don't you
obey the law yourself Governor?"
The man was frenzied with excite
nlent. Tiilmanites crowded around him,
and one yelled Shoot him. e
"Hush!n shouted the Governor,
"don't do that"
The moment was one Of extreme dan
ger, but Chief Radcliffe of the Column
bia police sprang from his horse and
carried the man away.

forty on her head at one time, and more on
her body. When six months old she did not
weigh seven pounds, apound and half less
than at birth. Then her skin started to dry
up and got so bad she could not shut her eyes
tosleep, but laid with them half open. About
this time, at the earnest request of friends, I
started using the CUTIcURA REMEDIES, and

A PLEASANT PICTURE.

A few days since, we strolled up Bou-
telle Ave, Waterville. and dropped in
upon pleasant home. The notes of a
merry song, and the buzz of conversa-
tin greeted us as we crossed the thresh-
old. A gentleman received us cordially
and conducted us through the parlors
and library where ladies and gentlemen
were conversing brightly. reading the
papers or listening to the singer at the
piano. Rarely have / seen more pleas
ant picture, one that portrayed more
solid comfort. Truly, = thought to
myself, this is happy company.
"Can it be possible" said, that
these persons are being treated for the
opium habitP" "Other Institutes, which
I have visited, resound with the cries
of suffering and pain. and the patients,
when. discharged, are shattered in health
and spirit"
"True," said the physician" this is
the only treatment in the world that
cures the drug habits without suffering.
The patients experience no pain through
out the treatment, hardly losing an
hours sleep. and invariably leave us
strong and well.n
Upon inquiry we ascertained that the
Bellinger Remedy is by no means new
discovery. Institutes have been estab-
lished in many of the Western States.
and thousands of cases have been treat
ed with universal success. Indeed, the
company has such confidence in the un-
varying results of their treatment, that
they agree to effect complete cure, or
to furnish treatment and board free.
We left this true home. feeling that
the nineteenth century had added an
other to it's many scientific achieve
ments, thanking God that thousands
who have looked despalringly for death
as theif only hope of relief, would here
find new lite and strength.

PATCHING UP THE BILL.
Foreign Concerns To Be Caught in
the Income Drag Net.
FURTHER REDUCTIONS PROPOSED
IN TARIFF SCHEDULES.

Senator Allison in the Midst of His Open
ing speech The House Settles the
O'NeilI-Joy Contest by Seating ONeill-
The Attempt to Take Up the California
Case Disperses the Quorum = Other
Washington News.
Washington, April 3.-The Senate to-
day passed the Behring Sea bill without
division At p. m. the tariff bill was
taken up and Mr.. Allison (Republican of
Iowa) addressed the Senate to point out
s.the defects that linger around the bill,'
He said that only five members of the
committee of eleven had given assent to
portion of the bill which provided for
$50, 1000, 900 revenue. He contended that
the proposed income tax and the internal
revenue taxation were departures from
the practice and policy of the govern
ment. He declared that, with few excep-
tions. all the industries of the United
States would be paralyzed, if not
strangled to death by the
the pending bill. If the protective poll
CIV was to be departed from, he insisted
that the departure should be by gradual
steps and not by such revolutionary
methods as proposed in this legislation.
The ad valorem system, he said, was in
equitable and unjust. He gave notice
that he would if the ad valorem system,
was retained, move that the duties be on
the market value of the articles at the
principal markets of the United States
instead of the places of importation.
Mr.. Allison will finish his speech tomor-
row.
For several days, the Democratic
members of the Senate finance commit
tee. have been going over the tariff bill
to agree upon the amendments they will
offer to the bill when that stage of the
debate is reached. They came to con-
clusion today, and in the Senate this at
ternoon, Mr.. Vest gave notice of number
of amendments. They are mostly re-
ductions from the rates previously re-
ported Some of the amendments are
Important. Among them are the fol-
lowing: Reducing anchovies. sardines
and other fish packed in oil from 25 to
20 per cent advalorem; reducing fish in
cans OF packages, paragraph 211, from 70
to 20 per cent advalorem; reducing fresh
beef. mutton and pork from 25 to 20 per
cent advalorem. The paragraph placing
coal slack or culm on the dutiable list at
Is cents ton is modified by the inser-
ton after the word ''culm'' of 'ssuch as
will pass through half inch screen" To
section 81, covering part of the income
tax. a provision has been added that
Gail nonresident corporations shall be
subject to tax of two per cent upon all
undistributed sums sent abroad, which
sum, for the purposes of this act, shall
be held to be dividends to foreign stock
holders or policy holders, and the resi-
dent agents or managers of such foreign
corporations shall withhold said tax of
two per cent from all such distributed
dues and make return thereof and pay
the tax thereon"
