der the circumstances he would not enter
upon that question now. The chair had
made decision last week, he said, re-
specting this matter, which he was sure

Indianapolis, Ind, April 16.--In the
trial of the Cofflns and Albert Reed in the
federal court to day on charges of wreck
ing the indianapolis National bank, the
testimony of George Boulton, manager of
the foreign exchange department of the
First National Bank of Chicago, caused a
sensation.
Boulton's testimony strongly supported
the government theory that large sums
Of money received by the Collins from
the indianapolis bank were not sunk in
the cabinet company's business, but
were held in the hands of relatives to be
turned over again after the company and
bank had gone to pieces.

DE MELLo STILL ON HIS SHIP.
His Capture by the Government Fleet
Now Looked For.

Copyrighted, 1894 by the Associated Press.
Montevideo April 16.-As exclusively
cabled to the Associated Press Saturday
afternoon, the rebellion of Admiral De
Mello against the government of Presi-
dent Peixoto has completely collapsed
and the capture of the rebel admiral by
the fleet of President Peixoto is looked
upon here as being only question of
few hours.
Admiral de Mello, after sustaining a
severe defeat at Rio Grande do Sui losing
from 400 to 500 men, succeeded in putting
to sea with the Republica and
the transports and attempted to
make landing In the department
OF hoeha, Uruguay, intending to
surrender his whole force to the Uru-
guayan authorities. But at the last mo-
ment disagreement took place between
the rebel admiral and Gen. Salgado, and
the latter, accompanied by 400 unarmed,
sick and wounded, almost starving men,
landed upon Uruguayan territory and
rendered their submission to the Uru-
guayan authorities.
This led to a report that Admiral de
Mello had himself surrendered to the au-
th0rltles of Uruguay, as Gen. Salgado
was for some time mistaken for the leader
OF the rebellion who, however, elected to
remain on board the insurgent war-ship
Republica
PEIxoTo OFFERS AMNESTY.
Buenos Ayres, April 16.-A dispatch
has been received to the effect that Presi-
dent Peixoto, of Brazil, has informed the
Uruguayan government that his govern
ment is prepared to pay the quarantine
expenses and the passage money of all
Brazilians who quilted their country on
account OF the insurrection, and who are
now desirous of returning to their homes
1t is added that general amnesty will be
granted TO all insurgents with the ex-
ception of the leaders of the rebellion.
THE FLEET OFF BUENos AYREs.
Buenos Ayres, April 16, II p. m.-Five
of the warships that belonged to the Bra
lillian lnsurgent feet commanded by
Admiral de Mello, arrived off this port
tonight. No communication has as yet
been had with them, but it is supposed
that they came direct from Rio Grande do
Sui after Admiral de Mello found that he
could not capture that city from the gov
ernment forces. The vessels are the
Republica, Meteror, Aris, Urani and
Esperanza.

ally which can hardly fail to cause comment
IL President Elict's motive in this unusual
proceeding is a desire to avoid entangling the
university in politics, il is n pity that his
sensibilities In this direction should have
slumbered until there was an opportunity IN
direct them against Republican organiza-
tion. The Harvard Democratic Club. so far
as known, never encountered any difficulty
in securing the use of Sanders Theater or of
other rooms in the college buildings. Neither
did the Free Wool Club. The fact that both
those organization are extinct for lack of
sufficient support by the students
while the Republican Club is alive and
fourishing, may be distasteful TO President
Ehot as an active Democratic partisan, but il
should not lead him to make an arbitrary and
unfair use of his power. He holds his high
Office at the head of the leading university OF
the United states. not that he
may conserve the interests of the Demo

Republican principles among the students.

WAR IN THE COKE REGION.

The coke regions of Pennsylvania will
probably witness repetition OF the
bloody scenes of by-gone years before
many days, and perhaps before night
falls today murder will again disgrace
the labor troubles of the keystone
State. Armed mobs are gathering
throughout the Connellsville section.
and the strikers are rallying at various
points, determined that their places
shall not be filed. Attempts
will be made by the agents to start the
ovens and when the two forces clash
lives will go out. The strikers TODAY
are largely the ignorant Huns and Poles
imported to take the place of former
strikers. They are not a class of people
who add to the value of the nation.
They crept in before the alien contract
labor law was passed and have been
allowed to remain. They do not
speak nor understand the English
language; and, realizing that their only
hope for employment lies in the coke
section, they are desperate enough to
give battle, no matter how large force
may be sent against them.
The women are even more desperate |
than the men and urge their husbands |
on in their lawless attacks. But these
men and women are here, they were
brought here by the companies that are
now resisting them with force, and these
companies are responsible for them in

Sl3 always demanded and paid before,

Men who passed and saw the old wo-
man sitting there pressed forward with
ready sympathy, and more than one
none too well to do himself forced money
into her trembling hand. They knew
without asking what the scene meant.
