Another Ten-Day Revolution is
Possible.
New York, March 2S.-The Herald's
Montevideo special says:
Admiral Mello has been chosen chief
of the provisional government. He
succeeds Provisional President Lorena,
who, since his appointment, has accom-
plished nothing except to issue a note
to various powers asking for recogni-
ton as belligerents for the insurgents.
The cabinet which Lorena appointed
resigned and has been succeeded by
federalists This junta consists OF a
representative from each of the 1nsur-
gent stations.
General Saraiva retains the chief
command of the land forces, and Cap
tain Alexandrino, of the Aquidaban,
which was Admiral Mello's flagship,
will probably succeed to the command
of the fleet.
Snhor Anibla Falcao, of Pernambuco,
has declined the appointment as special
diplomatic and financial agent OF the
provisional government.
Ruy Barbosa, who is an involuntary
exile in Buenos Ayres and has repre-
sented Admiral Mello during the revo-
luton. has been selected for the mis-
sion and has accepted. He will sail as
soon as arrangements can be COM
pleted. News has been received of a
battle lasting two days in which the
rebels under General Barella captured
the city of Santa Maria which had been
fortified by Peixoto's forces.
General Hipolyte, who commands the
government troops in the south, is
fastening to Santa Maria, with a force
of 1000 men. He will attempt to re-
capture the town.

Delaware, Ohio, March ga great
fraud has been exposed, involving Jas.
Cooley, of York, Union county, and A.
S. Winters, of Redwood, Union county
The commencement dates back to the
call for 100000 men in 1868, and Della
wares quota was to receive a bounty of
s100 each. The face of the Indebtedness
could not be had at that time, but a
payment of $25 was made and the re-
mainder or SIS was given in scrip. The
men scattered scrip all over the coun-
try and had almost $4,000 cashed by
the county commissioners, but paid
none of those who signed the same
over to them. Mrs. Sigfried saw In
Urinary Director Moore, who is often
at the court house. She said she great
ly needed her bounty money. Moore
found they had collected her S2O1, Win
tiers receipting for it. Winters refunded
$2O1 to Moore promptly, and then sew
lenty-eight counts were found against
them. Cooley escaped with all his col
Elections. Winters is settling for fifty
counts, that being his part. He has
already paid out $1,000.

ARID LAND BILL.
CAREY's MEASURE WILL SOON BE
TAKEN UP.
If Passed it viii Greatly Benefit All
Western States and Territories
Will Do Much for Utah.

Washington, March 23-The Senate
committee on public lands will proba-
bly, soon take up Carey's bill granting
the arid land states and territories a
million acres each of public lands to be
sold to settlers in lots of 100 acres each.
The secretary of the interior en-
dorses the bill and the commissioner of
the general land Office has written a
letter in which he takes an advanced
ground in favor of improvement of the
arid regions by placing the work under
the control of the various states.
He says: THE building of irrigation
works has been found to be very eX-
pensive, costing from So to $50 an acre.
Now that the lands along the latter
courses as a rule have been taken, the
question arises, how can the lands
difficult and expensive to irrigate be
made available for settlement?
The people of the states in which the
arid lands are located would like to
see the United States undertake the
reclamation. This is certainly imprac-
ticable now and it is doubtful whether
it will ever be otherwise.
THAT additional legislation to induce
the reclamation and settlement of the
dl III ldIiOS 10 IlSCCSSdty -CdAl1Ol Qt-
MED. and the entire acreage to be re-
served under the BILL IL all the states
70 which it is applicable should avail
themselves of its provisions, would not
be as great as each ,of#he several states
acquired under the swamp acts.
Congress may we'll try the expert
ment here proposed. The work is too
vast to be undertaken by the general
government. The local interest under
state control will stimulate results
with far greater zeal and success.
1.-THE principal proposition involving
the reclamation and settlement by in
dividuals in small holdings meets my
strong approval, and this bill seems to
me to present full opportunity of a
practical experiment and under proper
safeguards. The United States retains
title until the reclamation is accom-
plished and the land occupied by ac-
tual settlers"
The states and territories to which
the bill will apply, if it should become
law. are: Arizona, California, Colora-
do, Idaho. Montana, New Mexico
North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota
Utah, Washington and Wyoming.

Shortly before the hanging, Higgins
expressed special qualification that he

utmost aversion and contempt. He
exhibited a most wonderful nerve
throughout the trial and afterwards,
and it did not desert him at the SUI

on the scaffold. He claimed to the last
that he was the victim of police per-

overcoat caught on the step and pre-
vented him from being killed, but his
right arm below the elbow was cut off.
When Mr.. Brown recovered, he walked
