ANCESTRAL REFLECTIONS.

My ancestors were goodly men,
And stout of limb and muscle,
They bore the palm of victory
y In many warlike tussIe.
Some sailed along the Spanish main,
Some worked at blacksmith's beilowA
And some wrote poems to their king,
Z But they were all good fellows.
Honest and worthy men were they,
Some rough and others polished.
Alas that such good works as theirs 49,
BY time should be demolished.
I've read their lives and blushed to find
So much true worth revealing,
And yet for them must admit
have no kindly feeling.
l hate them with deadly hate,
These honest men of merit.
IT'S not for what they've given me-
But what don't inherit.
It's their own fault Ny thoughts Of them
Might be as sweet as honey,
II they had but bequeathed TO me
The art of making money. Life.

DA CANA SAILS AWAY
Portuguese Corvette Refuses to
Surrender the Admiral.
Have Been Short and His Execution
Speedy by Court Martial.

Copyrighted, 1894, by the Associated Press)
RIO DE JANEIRO March 1S.-Judging
from the course of events here, it is thought
by impartial observers that the Portuguese
government does not intend to honor the
request made for the surrender of Admiral
Da Cana. Da Cana took refuge in the
Portuguese corvette Mindello when the in
surrection collapsed. President Peixoto de-
manded that the Admiral and the officers
with him be delivered into his hands. The
Portuguese minister declined to order the
commander of the Mindello to surrender the
fugitives, and President Peixoto, 1t is said
appealed to the Portuguese government to
instruct its minister TO order the surrender
of the insurgent officers. Whether a reply
has been received to this request or not
cannot be definitely stated, but this after
noon the Mindello and the Albuquerque an
other Portuguese war ship, having on board
Admiral Da Cana and seventy of his off,
GERS, put to sea. 1t had been thought in
some quarters that if the vessels attempt
ed to leave the bay with the fugitives on
board trouble would ensue. There was not,
however, the slightest opposition made to
their departure, and, as a matter of fact,
trouble arising from this source was never
probable. The destination of the war ships
is not known. 1t is conjectured that they
will go south to Montevideo and land the
insurgent officers there. If they are landed
at Montevideo they can easily, If so dis
posed. join the insurgents in Sac Paulo
and Rio Grande do Sui, who are still in
armed opposition to the government.
The fact that Admiral Da Cana and his
officers have succeeded in getting out of the
bay is a matter of great rejoicing among
their friends in this city. There is no doubt
in the minds of anybody that had the Adj
miral been surrendered to the government
his trial by a drum-head court-martial
would have quickly followed. There could
have been only one result of a trial of this
kind. and that would have been sentence
of death.

SAVED FROM DEATH.
Heroic Rescue of Man Hanging from
the Eaves of Tall Elevator.

CHICAGO, March 1S-People in the vicin-
ity of a new grain elevator IN process of
erection at South Chicago yesterday after
noon were horrifed to see Joseph Coates,
a carpenter slip on the roof and slide rap
idly to the edge. AS he was going over the
ledge Coates grabbed a wall plate with his
right hand and hung to it, his body being
suspended at a height of one hundred feet.
Coates'S fellow-workmen were paralyZed
with fright, and two of them tainted 9th
ers recovered their senses and set about to
rescue him. Coates was crying out to those
in sound of his voice TO save him. In the
course of a few seconds the horror-stricken
watchers on the bridge below saw man
appear at a window, and behind him were
several other men. The first conner leaned
far out, until il seemed as If he would tum-
BILE headlOng from the hole, but strong
hands and a stout rope about his body
held him securely while he reached out and
giasped the man hanging from the wall
plate and succeeded in getting him TO the
window ledge Then the helpers inside be
gan 10 tug at the rope, and both men were
dragged through the window. The rescued
man, when he found himself saved. fell
over in a dead faint, and the reScuer, VIII
liam Jones' another carpenter collapsed
completely. a faint cheer reached those in
the room at the top of the elevator. When
he finally revived Coates was in such a
nervous condition that he had to be assisted
home by two OF his fellow-workmen.

A TERRIBLE THIRST
Subterranean Stream i'm Montana
Drinking Up the Missouri.
Recently Completed Survey Gives
Grounds for Belief that the Great
River Will Some Day be a Brook.

ATCHISON, Kan, March 1S.-The United
State engineering department has just COM
pleted a survey of the upper Missouri river
and far down this point. In the
opinion Of the engineers the Missouri river
is dwindling away, and will in time be
come a small stream They found that the
volume of water at Great Falls, Mont,
measured 4.796 cubic feet per second, while
at Fort Benton, twenty-five miles down the
river the volume but 4,331 cubic feet
per second, a decrease of 465 cubic feet.
This, they claim, explains the presence of
the great subterranean body of water
known as the South Dakota Artesian basin.
The discrepancy is accounted for by out
let in the bed Of the river somewhere be-
tween the points mentioned. The engineers
state that eyeless fish have been discovered
in the above locality, such as inhabit sub
terranean streams In 1878 similar observa-
tions as TO the volume of water were taken
by the department, and since that time
there has been a decrease of fully 20 per
cent. in the volume of water in the river.

Meanwhile the noise of the shots had at

SHOUTER VOORHEES,.
His Talk About Crushing" the Tarin
Bill Simply Gush.

Special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, March 1S-Again manu-
facturers throughout the country are pour
ing letters and kilograms i'm to Congress-
men, inquiring when the Wilson tariff bill
will be finally acted on. This is probably
the most difficult question propounded re-
specting the proceedings of this Congress.
Republican leaders in the Senate and Dem
ocratic members of the Senate finance COM
mittee are frank to confess that the ques-
ton cannot be answered. Chairman Voor-
hees continues to talk about rushing the
tariff bill into law. He is giving almost
daily statements to the effect that the
bill will be passed within so many weeks.
His object is to impress the country with
the idea that he is using superhuman CT
forts to dispose of the measure, so as 10
throw the blame for exhaustive debate or
any delay on the minority. But Chairman
Voorhees,, in fact, does not believe the VIII
son tariff bill will be out of the way before
the middle Of next summer. When the bill
was passed by the House the statement
was made in these dispatches that IL would
not be finally acted upon till the dog days.
When. six weeks ago, members OF the
finance committee, who then had charge
of the measure, said they would report
it a month ago, your correspondent revised
his prediction, and stated that IL might
finally be acted upon by the 1st OF June.

prediction at this time, IL is that the Wilson

fore the latter part of August

ROMISH CHURCH ATTACKED.
Rev. Madison Peters's Expose on It's In

NEW YORK, March 1S.-The sermon to-
night of Rev. Madison c.. Peters at the
Bloomingdale Reformed Church, was devot-
ed to an attack on the Roman Catholic
Church, particularly its influence in the
government at Washington. The preacher

when the clerks received their pay and
solicit contributions, and that the Catholic
influences are patent in all the departments
in matters of appointments, pro-

were cited in which Protestants were

The speaker said:

Miss Pollard's Attorneys Preparing for
aScathing Examination of the Sill
ver-Haired Defendant.
LAW WITH THE PLAINTIFF
Redress Due Her Notwithstanding
the Secret Marriage.
Report from Louisville that Mrs. Wing
Knew of the Relations of Miss Pol
lard and Wants No Divorce.

WASHINGTON, March 1S.-The legal
complications and moral side issues of the
Breckenridge case, gradually coming to
light as the trial progresses, increase the
public interest here in Washington, where
he Kentucky orator Is best known, and
make it the most sensational scandal ever
reviewed in the criminal courts here. Curl
osity is rampant among lawyers as to the
line of defense which the array of five
able lawyers retained by the Congressman
have marked out for him. For a time
after the revelation of the secret marriage
Of Colonel Breckenridge and Mrs. Wing
in New York on April 29 was made pub
lie 1t was the general opinion that this cir
cumstance would form the basis of the de-
fense, but to-day the attorneys for Mr..
Breckenridge have intimated to the con-
trary. Even had they not said SO, it is
fact that all the promises of marriage
alleged by Miss Pollard to have been made
to her, except the statements in the pres
ence of Major Moore, were before the date
OF the clandestine marriage. Moreover, 1t
seems to be established by a preponder-
ance of the authorities that the promise to
marry made by a married man furnishes
ground for a breach of promise action in
case it is accepted in good faith by the
other party, who is ignorant of his legal
disability to fulfill the contract.
The mystery of the defense will be solved
in a few days, however, for it is the pres
ent intention TO place Colonel Breckin-
ridge on the witness stand as the first wit
ness in his own behalf. 1t is evident that
his attorneys place their principal reliance
on the story which he will tell, and from
their sanguine state of mind to-day it seems
probable that they must have in reserve
resources which have not yet been made
known. That Colonel Breckinridges re-
cital will be a long one was foretold by
one of his attorneys to-day, when he said
that the defendant would doubtless be on
the witness stand three days This attor-
ney prophesied that the trial would con-
tlnue for two weeks or longer. He said
that the cross-examnation of Miss Pol
lard would consume two days more; that
Colonel Breckenridge would be on the stand
three days; that two days would be occu-
pied in reading depositions for the de-
fense, and three days in closing oratory
for the ears of the jury.
From this statement 1t appears that the
defense expects to probe into the circum-
stances surrounding Miss Pollard's life in
much greater detail than indicated
by the commencement of the crOSs-examina-
tiOn by Mr.. ButterWorth. That part of
Y ashngton which enjoys a sensation, and
IL is a large part, is anticipating eagerly

defendant by attorneys Wilson and Car
