SITUATION UNCHANGED.


Rio DE JANEIRo, Jan. 17.-There is
little change in the situation here to.
day. The usual skirmishing continues.
Although the rebels occupy Mocangue
island, it is said five government guns
at Armaca renders the position OF
Mocsngue island useless to the rebels.
ADM; / de Mello is not yet known to
have arrived here, and the usual un.
certainty prevails as to his where
abouts Report Las it that the rebel
admiral is expected here tonight and
that hc has with him necessary rein
forcements to make landing at a
point within easy marching distance of
Rio. Official confirmation issued by
the minister of foreign affairs shows
that the report cabled the Associated
Press regarding the situation was cor
rect There now seems no longer any
doubt that the rebels after resisting
siege of Bage, lost nearly 500 men, and
that they committed many atrocities
during their retreat.
The government OF President
Peixoto is still firmly convinced of its
ultimate triumph and is of the opinion
that the end of the revolution is not
far off. This also seems to be the
opinion of the rebels, but they do not
look upon the end in the same light as
do the adherents of Peixoto. Bust
ness continues impeded and everybody
ashore and afloat is heartily wishing
for speedy termination of this mo-
notonous struggle.

BARRY. CONNoR CASE.
Connor's Motion for Rehearing Overruled by
the Court Of Civil Appeals.
special to NE statetman.

Special to the Statesman.
DALLAS, Jan. 17.-The court of civil
appeals handed down number of
opinions today and also passed upon
motion for reheariDg in the Barry
Conner may orally case. The motion
was overruled and the opinion, a very
lengthy one by the way, is by Chief
Justice H. w. Lightfoot. The'opinion
is sweeping and the g.st is that both
sides submitted the case on appeal from
the district court on a statement of
facts The point involved was wheth-
er the unnumbere ed ballots should be
counted. The attorneys for Mayor
Conner held that they should be
counted as the Jaw on that point was
disectory and not mandatory. The
attorneys for Mr.. Barry held that the
law was mandatory. The supreme
court of Texas held that all
ballots must be remembered or they
cannot be counted. In the opinion Of
the court of appeals this settles the
case and it cannot be re opened on an
other statement of facts. The court
considers that this would be ridiculous
It is understood that the next step
will be to get the case before the SUI
preme court of the United States. "A
transcript is now in course of prepare
ton.

the sports in any great degree, as it is
known that TIE Duval Athletic club

DEAR SIR-AlthOugh L have tor
malIy acknowledged receipt of the
course of study sent to my county,
wish to say that 1 have examined it
and believe it will be of invaluable
service to the teachers in general
and prove an important factor in
raisiag the grade of the country
teachers especially. Few country
teachers do any work outside the
school room and when they do the
work is usually aimless and without
system.
Your course of study will not only
excite those not accust omed to study
ing, but be guide to those who con.
stantly have been working their way
alone.
The amount of information Tor sug-
gestions that lead to it) together with
tn almost complete and natural de.
velopment Of each study, forces me to
realize to some extent the labor re-
quired in its preparation.
For myself and the teachers OF my
county, desire TO express our uni
versal appreciation for the Home
Course Of Study.
County euperintendents will furnish
these courses of study to teachers.

Tjeutenaut Commander Swinburne
of the Boston was the only witness be-
fore the sub committee inVestlgating
the Hawaiian affair today. He Is the
officer who had command OF the troops
on shore at Honolulu at the time OF
the revolution, and his testimony is
considered important, as 1t bears upon
some points WHICH, nave bCOh III NAS
pute and to which much importance Is
attached. He was questioned as to
the time of landing, location of troops
and time of surrender of the station
house. He was also asked to explain
how the troops CHANGED to be located
at Arion hall and was reminded OF the
charge made by Mr.. Blount and the
friends of Queen Lilioukalani that
of all the places this was the one
best calculated to serve the purposes
of the provisional government, being
located just across a narrow street
from the government building, where
thew were a menace to the queen S
forces. 1t is understood that Swim
burne admitted that more fortunate
place could have been selected, and be
had advised that some other place e
chosen. In the main, however, his
testimony corroborated the state
ments of Minister Stevens and OF the
officers of the provisional government.
He said there had Lot been any con
spiracy involving the naval force.
