Special Dispatch TO the Inteuiqcncer.
WESTON, w. VA, Jan. 16.-Calvin
Fleming the outlaw was buried to-day
near where he was killed. A third
brother of the Flemings living on
Beaver creek, Webster county, under
the name of Roberts, hearing about
Saturdays work, arrived at Bogs early
this morning. He seemed very much
grieved and told the officers and q JUS
tice that two other brothers, a brother
in-law and three other. men with their
families were on their way in wagons
moving from Wise county, Va, to Web
ster county with the intention of set
tling near Camden-on-the-Ga
Robert said: "If they come to Boggs
and find things as they are there will
surely be more trouble" He advised
the justice TO hide the wounded officers.
Immediate steps were taken to move
Henon, as near dead as he was, to the
Jail at Summersville. This was done.
They arrived at the Jail at six O clock
tonight. A heavy guard was at once
put on duty. The prisoner is much
weaker, but says he will have his re-
venge yet.
The condition of the wounded officers
is somewhat improved. Robert, it is
claimed, bears a good reputation and is
law abiding citizen, ns he was not
known as Fleming until to-day. He
bears resemblance to the Flemings.

WASHINGTON, D. O., Jan. 16.-The ses-
sion of the house to-day was uninterest-
ing, the entire time being given up to
the consideration OF amendments to the
tariff bill.
at the opening of the session Of the
house this morning Mr.. Springer. Dem.,
Illinois), asked unanimous consent to
correct an Illinois newspaper report
attributing aome remarks made by Mr..
Dolliver (Rep.) to him.
Mr.. Reed remarked sarcastically that
this was very painful, but he would
make no objection on Mr. :Dolliyer's
account. Laughter. Mr.. Springer ex-
planned that he had commended the
tariff bill highly instead of denouncing
it as had been reported. The house re-
sumed consideration of the tariff bill.
Mr.. Wilson Immediately began offering
committee amendments. The first was
to reduce the duty on furs for hatters'
use from 20 to 10 per cent.
The next amendment was one to
place on the free list, in addition to
books, etc, printed over twenty years
shydrographic charts; this also was
agreed to. This was followed by an
amendment changing the rate on con

BUENos AYREs, Jan. 16.-The follow
ing advices have been received from
Rio Janerio: It's rumored that numer-
GUS members of the national guard are
deserting.
The insurgent feet continues its bonn
bardment. Many shells fall in the CEN
tre of the city and several persons have
been killed, including some Italians.
When the Italian minister became
acquainted with this fact he demanded
reparation from the government. He
was informed, however, that as the
foreign residents had been warned of
the danger of remaining in the city, the
government could accept no responsi-
bility for anything that might befall,
them.
The government forts and batteries
are bombarding the insurgent store
houses on Enchadas island.
It is reported that President Peixoto'a
fleet has left Pernambuco.
The Insurgents have received fresh
supplies of provisions and now possess
large quantity.
Santos is being blockaded by an insur-
gent squadron.
The clergy generally sympathize with
the revolutionists.

WARRINGTON, D. c., Jan. 16.-A meet
ing of the senate finance committee was
held this afternoon Tor the purpose of
considering Secretary Carlisle's letter
and bond bill. After the conclusions OF
the meeting Senator Voorhees,, as chair
man of the committee, handed to an
Associated Press reporter the statement
given below. It is as follows:
.'The embarrassed condition of tue
treasury and the necessity for prompt
action for its relief. are fully realized.
There is not the slightest ground. how
ever, for apprehension that the public
credit will suffer or be endangered, for
the reason that ample authority already
exists by law for the secretary OF treas
ury to strengthen his coin reserve to
any extent required and to meet every
demand that can be legitimate. The
power of the secretary for the issue OF
bonds needs nothing beyond what is
given by the act of January IA, 1875.
The only desirable object to be obtained
bv new legislation at this time on that
subject is to make shorter time bond
with lower rate of interest, and yet
the secretary teels assured that ne can
negotiate bonds issued under the act of
1875 running only ten years on practl-
caly q three per cent basis.
..It seems, therefore, that it will be
wiser, safer and better for the financial
and business interests OF the country
to rely upon existing law with which to
meet the present emergency rather
than to encounter the delays and un-
certainties always incident to pro-
tracted discussions in the two houses of
Congress- This view of the action of
the treasury admits of but little if any
delay and no uncertainty at all in the
final action to be taken"
The senate finance committee author-
ICES Senator Voorhees, to introduce the
Carlisle bill in the senate and also to
present the letter from the secretary of
the treasury for the consideration of
that body, which was done. This
authorization as to the instruction of
the bill is not intended to mean. how
ever, that the committee has decided to
make an effort to pass the bill through
the senate, or that it has given it further
endorsement than to allow it to be
printed and referred. to the committee
in the regular way for consideration.
