RAISING A MEXICAN ARMY.
1t Is Done by Robbing Non-Combatants
and Impressing Laborers.

Fort Hancock, Texas, January ii.
81. Bond, of Corrites ranch, Chihuahua,
Mexico, in company with Luis A. Costa,
of Juarez and four assistants left here
Monday for Rancho Borracho, 40 miles
below, to gather stock. After complet-
ing that work, they started back early
FIR iday morning. When 10 miles from
til G ranch they were surrounded by 25
Mexican revolutionists under command
of General Ochoa. They were relieved
of six mules, Is horses, II revolvers, sad
dies and ammunition and carried back to
the ranch where all the provisions and
everything useful to them were taken
off, including all the laborers or peon
Mexicans, who were enlisted. General
Ochoa istructed Mr.. Bond and his party
to remain at the ranch three days and
said he would then send team to carry
the party here, but Mr.. Bond secured a
horse and rode in haste to wire for as
sistance. General Ochoa informed him
that he left Ell Pasco Wednesday with
six men. organizing as he proceeded
down the river. He had gained all he
had met. He was securing arms and
ammunition, but did not take mon
ey. The revolutionists completely
stripped the Ranch Armargosa, 20 miles
this side of Borracho. of stock and pro-
visions. After leaving Borracho they
went east toward Las Vagas, where
they expected more recuits and would
probably capture the Mexican custom
house at Ojenaga. General Ochoa said
he only had one of several organizing
parties that started in various directions
at the same time. He intimated that
they would meet at some point south
and form quite an army

LIVELY TIME AHEAD IN JERSEY.
Democrats May Try to Steal the Senate to
Perpetuate Partisan Laws

Trenton, N. j., January THE state
ment that the Democrats propose to or
ganize the Senate next Tuesday on their
own account comes from high sources in
the party, and scenes of intense excite
ment may attend the opening of the leg
granted the Republicans will not submit
to any infringement upon what they con-
slider their rights. The reports touching
the matter are to the effect that Gov.
We rts will not recognize the Senate as
organized by the Republicans, but will
recognize the Democratic organization.
The story in circulation, and generally
believed, is that the Demo Gratis will re-
fuse to allow Senator-elect Bradley of
Monmouth to be sworn in on the ground
that he bribed many voters with presents
an d money and thus secured more votes
than his opp onent ex-senator Terhune
Since the constitution provides that
members of the legislature may admin
lister the oath to each other, Bradley
will be sworn in by his Republican col
leagues. The House being Republican
will, of course, recognize the Republican
Senate only and the Democrats will ask
the supreme court to pass on Bradley's
right to his seat. If all this comes to
pass, deadlock lasting month or two
may insue. Here it is not considered
improbable that the Democrats will do
everything in their power to save one Of
the branches of the legislature. Should
they succeed, hundreds of Democratic
office holders would be kept in Office
and hundreds of partisan laws that the
Republicans have set their hand upon
repeating would remain on the statute
books. The organization of the two
senates might be provocation of vio-
lence. The Republicans will undoubt-
edly claim the right to use the senate
chamber and there is not room enough
in it for two presiding officers and double
sets of secretaries, clerks, doorkeepers,
etc. Jude Depue decided yesterday that
in case of a contested assembly seat in
Essex county, that the assembly alone
was the judge of its membership. This
decision, the Republicans hold, applies
to Mr.. Bradley's case.

EXPLODED WHEN HE OPENED 1T.
The Internal Machine Received by a
Michigan Man.

Chicago, January Post Office In
spector Stuart is trying to find the per-
sou who sent an Internal machine to G..
W. Leggett of Gangee, Mich. The ma
chine is now being examined by the
government officials. 1t was received by
Mr.. Leggett on December %, inclosed in
small box. AS he removed the lid,
there was an explosion and Mr.. Leg
gett's right hand was badly burned. He
was not able to use it for week. Mr..
Leggett took the box to the postmaster
at Gangee from whom he received it.
Postmaster Jones mailed it to the post
office inspectors and it was opened by
an inspector yesterday. In the package
was paper tube of heavy card board,
four inches high and two and one-half in
diameter, The top, upon which the lid
fitted closely, had been partly blown
away and was blackened by the powder.
In the lower portion was bail made of
string dipped in paste and tightly
wrapped. Sticking on the sides of this
ball IN dozen places were projectiles
such as are used in magazine rifles. The
rifle balls were imbedded tightly in the
string and paste which became as hard
as wood.

Saturday in the House.

Washington, January 6.-Mr. Boutelle
today renewed his attempt to nave his
hawaiian resolution taken up, but de-
spite Mr.. Boutelle's protest the Speaker
ruled that the resolution was not be-
fore the House.
Finally after a long and fruitless
struggle on the part of Mr.. Boutelle, the
Speaker directed the yeas and nays to be
called on the question pending yesterday
when the House adjourned; that was on
ordering the previous asquestion on the
report of the committee on rules, making
conditions as to the tariff bill. Thessvote
resulted as all OF yesterday, in showing
! an absence of quorum. 1t was an
nounced as yeas 167, nays 0. There had
been twenty-five pairs declared.
During the second call. Mr.. Hall, Re-
nous consent Messrs. Gear, Hepburn,
Lacey and Perkins, all of Iowa, be ex-
cused.
Objection being made, Mr.. Hall, on
the suggestion of Mr.. Reed that the
Republicans had no objection to votin g
on the question, moved they be excused.
This stopped the call and gave renewed
life to f1libustering.
Mr.. Reed demanded a division, and
then tellers, contending in his droll way
that the rising vote was not accurate,
and that it would bernbetter to make the
result certain. Eighty-one voted to ex-
cuse and eighty -four not to excuse, when
Mr.. Reed demanded the yeas and nays,
which were ordered.
The question of excusing Mr.. Perkins
and others was decided affirmatively by
vote of 133 in the affirmative to 116 in
the negative, no quorum being necessary
on the question of excusing member
for one day.
The Repu blicans not only succeeded in
excusing Mr.. Perkins, but also managed
little filibuster.
More fllibustering followed and then
Mr.. Catchings presented resolution that
the sergeant-at-arms take into custody
and bring to the bar Of the House such
members as are absent without leave of
the House. This order shall continue in
force beyond sthe adjournment of the
session of today and until further orders
OF the House. The sergeant-at-arms is
directed to employ sufficient number of
deputies to execute this order and take
into custody said absentees wherever
they may be found.
The resolution was adoted and the
House adjourned.

Insurgent Losses at Rio - Reckless But
Unavailing Bravery Naval Officers Pre-
dict da Gama's Defeat.
Copyright 1894 by the United Press.)
Montevideo, January 7.-The United
Press correspondent in Rio de Janeiro
has sent this despatch un.
der date of January 2:
" Pu blic opinion has compelled Admiral
dea Cana commander of the insurgent
fleet in Rio harbor to issue a manifesto
distributed Saturday. The manifesto
denied the correctness of the inferences
drawn from the Cana monarchist mani
festo of month ago. An unsigned man
lfesto denouncing the employment of
North American mercenaries on the gov
ernment cruiser Nictheroy has been dis
trlbuted. The sentiment against hiring
North Americans to serve on Brazilian
vessels is very strong, even among the
Iflenos OF the government. To this senti-
ment is due much of the trouble with
the Nletheroy's crew, and the recent dis
missal of several North Americans was
existing against them. Longshoremen
lett the barges used in coaling the
S1ctheroy and joined the insurgents. The
hrelnen are responsible for the deserters
and will be obliged to bring them back
or suffer the penalty of imprisonment.
The Nictheroy is still at Pernam buco.
An American naval surgeon, who
VISITED the 1nsurgent hospital on
Euchads island, learned that from one
20 nve dead bodies were brought in daily
from the insurgent forts at Villegaignon
and Cobras. The senior surgeon of the
British warship Sirius, after securing the
approval OF Captain William M. Lang,
senior British officer of the fleet, has
taken his instruments and some supplies
TO Euchads and is attending ths
wounded. Guns, ammunition and
torpedoes are said to be stored in the
machine shop which extends under the
hospital. The insurgents at Villegaiq-
non and Cobras are short OF fresh pro-
visions and drinking distilled sea water.
1t is reported that French men-of-war
are supplying them with medicines.
Ihere has been some rain recently. The
fighting has been only intermittent. A
heet OF insurgent tugs, commanded by
Admiral da CANA, were brought along
shore several times in an attempt to
drive back the government forces and
land troops. Although the insurgents
fought with reckless bravery, their
efforts were vain. Theyslost heavily, and
did not gain even foothold.
Desperate resistance was.offered yester-
day afternoon and last night to the gov
eminent advance on Vianni island and
five insurgent steamers were engaged
for hours. There was much noise but
little blood flowed. 1t transpired TODAY
that workmen from Euchads island got
ashore last night by way of the marine
arsenal, whose traitorous commandant
gave them permission to land. Admiral
Mello's friends in this city are serenely
confident of his ultimate success, but
the opinion among naval men is that
Admiral da Cana will be beaten within
ten days"

ANDREW FoY HAS SKIPPED.
1t Is Said He Is Afraid of Arrest in the
Cronin Case.

Chicago, January 7.-Andrew Foy,
with new suit of clothes and roll of
bills has left Chicago. According to one
story he has gone to New York to meet
James Mclaughlin, the states expected
witness. According to another he has
left the country, as he fears arrest. Foy's
friends deny that they know where he is.
He is the husband Of Mrs. Foy, and if
the story his wife told be true he is as
deeply implicated in the murder of DR..
Cronin as Coughlin is supposed to be.
Mclaughlin is Mrs. Foy's brother. Until
lately he has been living in Glasgow,
Scotland, but the state. believing that
he could testify, tried to induce him to
return. He is believed to have left Glas-
gov December &c, and to be due in New
York Monday. 1t is thought by the
prosecution that Mclaughlin may be
tampered with when he lands. A trusted
agent is awaiting at New York TO head
off such an attempt

NO FAITH IN LEGISLATURES.
But the New York Federation Will Send
Delegates Just the Same.

New York, January THE question
of the unemployed was discussed by the
Central Labor Federation today. The
majority of thei delegates declared that
they were opposed to petitioning the leg
islature, as they did mot believe body
composed of lawyers, bankers, liquor
dealers and professional politicians
would ever do anything for the laboring
masses. The delegates to the conference
for the relief of the unemployed were
Instructed to insist that the committees
sent to Albany should not go as junket-
ing expeditions, but work hard for the
bills to be submitted for the appropria-
tion of funds for public works.

WILLIS SENT HOME.
One of the RumOrs from That Ship
Of Mystery the CvrWin.
1T is EVEN SAID MIR. WILLIS is
ON BOARD.

The Report Iaughed Down in Washington
The Story that the Provisional Gov
eminent Has Been Asked to Get Out
and Has Refused Seems To Be Pretty
Well Substantiated, However-No Com
munication with the Corwin.
Chicago, January IA special from
San Francisco says: The revenue cutter
Corwin is still anchored off San Quentin
all efforts to approach her proving futile.
A story which gained currency today
among those on board is that Minister
Willis has been given his passports by
the Provisional Government of Hawaii.
This story, like that afloat yesterday
that the Corwin had prisoners aboard,
has but circumstantial foundation. The
captain of the Corwin, upon orders re-
ceived from Washington before sailing
for Honolulu, will hold no communica-
ton with this shore until after the arriv-
al of the mail steamer next Tuesday. A
number of unsuccessful attempts were
made yesterday by influential men to get
orders from Washington for permission
to board the Corwin.

To Tax Railroad Cars

Colum bus, Ohio, January 7.-Bills are
being prepared for introduction in the
Ohio legislature to tax sleeping, dining,
buffet, refrigerator and fast freight line
cars. 1t is proposed to levy the tax on
sleeping cars on mileage basis, the
rate being half cent on each mile
travelled by each car. The auditing de-
partment of each road would be required
to report by telegraph daily to the state
railroad commissioner the number of
miles travelled by each railroad. One
provision would require dining cars that
run entirely within the state to pay $40
year for the privilege of selling liquor,
and buffet cars that traverse the state on
long runs would be taxed IS year.

All But Two Accounted For.

Boston, January 6.-Of IA men on the
schooner E. F. Willard of Portland,
wrecked on Ipswich Point last night, ali
but two are accounted for. Captain
Robertson and one of the crew
named Murphy landed at Ips-
wich last night; three others landed on
Davis neck, and seven at Annisquam
The four dories were in use and one with
two men in it is still missing. Late to-
night it was reported they had been
heard from but this cannot be verified.
An effort will be made to save the vessel
in part, but this is thought to be an i'm
possibility as she is deeply -imbeaded in

aggerated statements of the sentiment of
our people, the President had reason to
believe that all prospects for a peaceful
consummation Of the plan which he be-
lieved to be the only honest and proper
one were hopeless.
Although it could not be definitely
prejudged what the answer of the queen
would be to the ultimatum of the Presi-
dent, sent by the Corwin, it is not going
too far to say that the administration Of
ficials did not expect that the queen
would change her extreme views' in
opposition to the offer first made to her.
That it would be necessary for Minister
Willis to proceed any further with the
negotiations for her restoration after the
receipt of the last instructions sent to
him was not deemed probable.
But there is no longer any doubt that
the Queen did accept all the conditions
imposed by the original instructions
given to Minister willis. Oficially this
not admitted, but 1 have absolutely
reliable information that the Corwin's S
dispatches show that the Queen did
change her extreme views" and asked
to be restored in strict accordance with
the expressed conditions imposed by the
United States
Receiving this decision of the Queen,
lied by his instructio
This was in the shape of communica-
tion to the provisional government
giving assurances that it's request for
annexation could notbe consummated and
requesting that 1T relinquish to the
GU cen her constitutional authority, of
which she was unjustly deprived through
tn intervention of the representatives of
the merican government.
A lengthy and formal renIy was made
to Minister Willis by the provisional gov
dents decision. The text of thissreply,
together with full report from Minister
Willis, showing that he had literally
complied with the instructions from his
government without being able to "com-
pass peaceful adjustment of the diff
Guilty." is now in the mails coming
East from San Fran cisco. The substance
only of Minister Willis report was tele-
graphed to Secretary Gresham last night.
According to the outline of the pro-
visional governments reply telegraphed
from San Francisco, understand that
President Dole emphatically refused to
surrender, and expressed the determina-
tion to resist by force of arms any at
tempt of the Queens forces to oust him.
Had it not been for the confidene felt
that the Queen, through concern for her
own safety would adhere to her original
determination not to grant amnesty it Is
extremely doubtful whether the Presi-
dents message would have gone to Con-
gress before the Corwin returned to the
United States with the results of the

caused the administration no end of en-
barrassment in dealing with this perplex-
ing question,

DlSCREDITED IN WASHINGTON.
They Do Not Believe at the Capitol tina
Willis Has Been Dismissed

They Do Not Believe at the Capitol that
Willis Has Been Dismissed.
Washington, January 7.-Nothing has
been given out to throw any light on the
Hawaiian puzzle. More or less positive
statements that the status quo in Homo
lulu has been broken by the action of
Minister Willis and that news to that
effect has heen conveyed to the State De-
partment in the dispatches brought by
the Corwin are met by equally positive
statements that no advices to that effect
emanating from any reliable sources
are at hand. In support of the proba-
bility of the latter theory, attention is
called to the full text of Minister Willis's
latest despatch, as included in the COM
plex volume of correspondence just laid
before Congress portion of which only
has been published. This despatch, in its
entirety, reads:
Honolulu, DECEMBER 4, 1893.
Understand message. Had no COM
mnnications from Washington either to
United States admiral or me since my
(our) arrival. One British man-of- war
and one japanese man-of-war are here.
Active desfensive preparations for several
days have been made. The situation is
about the same. The feeling is intense
but hope to preserve the status until
further instructed. The government last
Wednesday inquired as to the authentici-
ty of your published letter and the in
tentions of the President. I declined to
answer. Prompt action is desirable"
The letter is pointed out here as a
distinct announcement of the intention
to preserve the status until further in
structed," if possible. It is urged that
tL,,1 1o, Of he
precludes the entertainment of the sup
posi- tion that any further instructions
were sent to Mr.. Willis after the meeting
of Congress authorizing him to break in
upon the status before Congress had de-
clared its wishes in the matter. The
rumor now telegraphed from San Fran
cisco that possibly one reason no com
munication has been allowed with the
Corwin is that Minister Willis may be a
passenger on board in the character ofsa
dismissed American minister was half
jocosely passed around here yesterday.
There are q number OF reasons for re-
garding this story as highly improbable
though the extraordinary precautions
taken to prevent communication with
the Corwin render the widest rumors
difiult of disproof. Aside from the ex-
treme unlikeliho cd that the provisional
government would attempt such an ex-
treme measure in the case of a minister
whose course thus far has certainly re-
suited largely to their advantage and
who, in his dispatches, expresses so high
an opinion of the mem bers of that gov
ernment and the further unlikelihood
that MI. Willis, even it dismissed would
take refuge on revenue cutter when
two United States men-of-war were in
the harbor and that he would remain
sulking in hiding on board the revenue
cutter in San Francisco harbor, Mr..
Willis's open telegram to Secretary
Carlisle in regard to Louisville city
claim received yesterday clearly shows
that he is still in Honolulu and expects
to remain there. The San Francisco
story is accepted. here as an able effort of
the imagination.
