Death of the Brazilian Rebel Leader
and the President

The two leaders in the late war in Brazil
are no more. Admiral da Cana committed
suicide, after the defeat of he rebel forces,
as he feared that he would be tortured if
captured. Only two or three days later
the death of Marshal Floriano PeiXoto, eX-
president of Brazil, was announced.
Peixoto began his career over 30 years ago,
as a lieutenant in the Brazilian army.
He rose to the rank of brigadier general
and later was elected senator and then
vice president. In November, 1891, he
assumed the presidency made vacant by
the resignation of Marshal Manoel Deodoro
de Fonseca, who had dissolved the nation
al congress and declared himself dictator,
obeying in everything the advice and coun-
sells of Baron de Lucena.

who has arrived at Tampa, says that
Maxine Gomez surprised a garrison of
1900 Spanish at Alta Gracia, and had a
severe battle with them. He cut their
ranks all to pieces and routed the enemy
with heavy losses. After he had taken the
town he burned it. The insurgents are
said to have lost 200 men and the Span
iards 800 killed and wounded.
Gomez is marching on Havana with
5000 men, and asserts that within short
time he will water his horses in Rio del
Almendares and command the port with
Cuban forces. Campos has made demand
for $4,000 more troops, and now asserts
that before the rebellion can be quelled
thousands of heads will have to be cut off.
The instruction is spreading. The
Spaniards thought that the rebellion was
crushed when Marti was slain. If such
an idea had ever occurred to Campos, it is
now dispelled, and the Spanish govern
ment is greatly alarmed over the situation.

Fourteen hours and 30 minutes over a

first half of the distance was run in a

electricity in the prison at Sing Sing Mon
day. After the current had been turned
off slight pulsation of the heart was noticed
by the physicians and the current was again
started at its full force. DIR. Buchanan's
case has attracted great attention and the
execution has several times been post
poned. DR.. Buchanan, a Nova Scotian,
procured a divorce from Annie Price Pat

in Buchanan's favor. She died Is months

after the body was inferred it was exam

that death came from morphine poisoning.

years in the Albany penitentiary, four
years on each charge of forgery and EN-

until $780, He was on intimate terms
with many of the most prominent men at
Washington. After his resignation a de-
iiciency of over $4,000 was discovered in
his accounts and he was arrested at a sum-
mer resort in Michigan. He went to his
house in Washington with an officer to get
some papers wanted in court. While there
he disappeared. Later it was found that
he was short in his accounts S3S0,000

years, but he was not apprehended until

One of the most notable college addresses
of the year is that delivered by Hon. II. A. .
Herbert, secretary of the navy, at Auburn.
Ala. He told the students in plain terms
that the questions of slavery and state
rights were settled forever by the great
civil war. "The power of this govern
ment, he said, mo citizen dares to dis
pute except in the courts" and when the
courts decide question, he added, "there
is no thought or threat of resistance"
In the first three months of 1895 L., 301
telephones were added to the number
under rental, which was two-thirds of the
gain of the whole of last year; but in the
second or current quarter, April to June
inclusive, the increase is 33, 060, or more
than twice the gain of the full year 1894.
There are 30, 1876 more of these instruments
of 10 per cent. This is one of the best
proofs of reviving business and mercantile
expansion.
1t is stated that for the first time in the
history of Cleveland wheat has been
brought from Buffalo for the purpose of
grinding. The purchase amounted to 12j,
600 bushels and was destined for export to
Europe. This indicates quite a scarcity of
wheat in the West, and perhaps indicates
another thing, that the western farmers as
well as the eastern spectators will derive
some advantage next fall from the increas-
ed price of wheat as compared with that
of last year.
New Workers are not content with the
results of the LeXow investigation, but in

city and all the accounts. TO do this they
have an appropriation of 100000 avail
able, but even without the state appropr-
alton the investigation would have been
carried on. Private citizens offered to
supply the funds, and the standard of leg
islative morality is not so high in New
York as to lead any one to refuse such
assistance. Possibly the reason is that the
legislative committee there is sincere.
