TROOPS BLOWN UP BY FANATICS
Whole Companies of Brazilian Regu-
lars Perished in the Engage
ment at Canudos.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Sept. "a special
to the Herald from Buenos Ayres says:
al am advised by the Herald's correspon-
dent in Rio Janeiro, Brazil, that word
reached that city to the effect that whole
companies of Brazilian troops were de-
stroyed in the last engagement with The
fanatic at Canudos.
The rebels used dynamite with great
effect when the Government troops ap-
proached to attack and great mum bers of
soldiers were killed by explosions. They
now occupy impregnabe positions at
Canuoos. and the Government troops are
helpless.
General Oscar, who is in command of
the troops, will suggest to the Minister of
War OF Brazil that Canudos be besieged
and the fanatics driven out by hunger.

SALE Of TEE
union PACIFIC
Senator Harris COnferS
With Attorney-Gen-
eral MCKenna.
An Appeal From the Omaha
Decision Would Give Con-
gresS Time to Act.
Belief That the Sinking Fund Of the
Union and Central Pacific Is
Shors So, 100000.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Sept. 9.-Senator
Harris of Kansas, who takes deep inter-
est IN the question OF the sale of the Union
Pacific Railroad, had Tx with Attorney
General McKenna this morning. The sit
uation was gone ever fully. The matter
of an appeal from the decree of the court
at Omaha ordering the sale of the Union
Pacific was talked about, but Senator Har-
ris declined to say what had passed. The
Acknowledgement informed him, as he has
all others, that he has the question of an
appeal under consideration, but has not
decided what he will do.
Senator Harris expressed the belief to
The CALL correspondent that the sinking
fund of the Union and Central Pacific
railr Dads in The hands of the Government
is short in the neig ghborhood of $1,000, 600
by the payment OF subsidies by these
roads to the Pacific Mail steamship line,
operated and controlled by the same men.
These subsidies were charged TO the op-
Grating ex; enses of the roads and the
amounts did not go to the net income,
from which 25 per cent is taken 10 cover
in 10 the sinking fund. Secretary Lamar
called attention 10 this in 1885, and rec
ON m ended that something be done. Tne
subsidies have been going on ever since.
Senator Harris hopes that the Attorney
General will take The appeal, as that will
give time for Congress to express its
opinion. The Senator does not know
whether the House would pass u resoiu-
ton disappearing of the sale of the road
under the proposition of the reorganiza-
tion committee. He does believe, how
ever. that such a resolution would pass
the Senate This, he thinks, would have
the effect of checking the projects OF the
reorganization committee.
said Senator Harris. ".he plain duty of
operate it. I fully believe that if the
Government would undertake this the
railroad people would then see that busi-
ness was meant and would pay The full
amount due the Government. All they
need is to be shown that the Government
does not propose to be defrauded of what
is due it.
The law fully directs this. Under the
law there is only the course of forfeiture
on default or to take po, session."
Senator Harris was asked If nc though.
it probable that the President and his
Cabinet wssNd consider the matter before
any asrdstS afstaken.
"Js tslirse | do not know, "the Senator
said, shut the matter IS grave enough for
the President TO give it the most serious
consIde rat on"
Attorney General McKenna will reach
no conclusion as to an appeal for some
time. 1t is probable that he will lay the
matter before the Pres dent and Cabinet,
as there are numerous important Ques-
tions to be considered besides that OF an
appaaI.

THE LCRID LIGHT OF ANGER.
Mrs. Annie Besant shows the Colors
Thoughts Take On.

Mrs. Annie Resant, theOsophist, lectured
last night on Human Auras and Thought
Forms with stereopticon Accomplishments.
Masonic Temple was so thronged that
early in the evening an elderly gentle
man interrupted the lecturer by suggest
ing that the windows be raised
Mrs Besant first explained her theory
of vibrations. The material world was
full of electrical waves, light waves and
sound waves. When iron filings arranged
themselves in regular order around
magnet, it was in obedience to natural
law. Experiments proved that around the
hand Of mesmerist there was flashing
halo of luminous vibrations. Frost forms
on winter window pane were due to in
visible vibrations. These vibrations Were
at work in the astral, as well as in the
material world. Astral, meant starry
and the manifestations or the other world
were termed astral, because they were
luminous, that is, they manifested them
selves in coors. These colors We're
superior in radiance and in delcacy to the
colors of sunrise or a sunset, as the coiorS
of heaven are superior to those of a painted
canvas.
Each emotion of the human nervous sys-
TEN produced vibration and each set of
vibrations had a distinctive color. Thus
the nature of mans thoughts could be
determined by the color OF his aura, or that
ethereal vibration which enveloped his
material body. Red. revealed wrath. A
man whose anger was selfish, bestial, cruel,
murderous, shed dark, lurid light, While
he whose anger was of the righteous, and
indignant sort, beamed scarlet and YER
million Blue stood for dev otion, yell
low for intellectually, and brown for TN
clean passion.
The lights in tie hall were eXtingushed,
and Mrs Besant threw on the screen lime
light photographs of what were alleged to
be thoughts. Thoughts CT love We're given
a good deal of space. The picture of
thought of unselfish love was rose -colored
blot, with red splashes radiating from it
The photographs of loving thought
which a fond mother had sent to her way
ward son, was PAIR Of rose colored wings,
with a shapeless patch Of yellow suspended
between them The love thought of a
woman who was not loved in return, but
desired TO be, was pictured by a tongue
light, split at the end, with curved points,
which seemed to tie drawing the unloving
man toward the loving, woman. A jealous
thought was represented by long green
flash a mulderous thought was streak
Of red.

THEY ALL HONOR GRANT
But MOsby'S Men Will Not Parade
in Body at New York.
They Think If They Did 1t Might
Revive Feelings Now
Nearly Dead.

The ex-members of Mosby's Cavalry are
not likely to participate in the ceremonies
Of the dedication Of the Grant MonU-
ment, in New York, April 27, as a mill
tary organization.
Several prominent members of the Con-
federate Veterans Union were seen and
asked their opinion of the proposfJjon
some OF them were members Of unsbv,s
command All were agreed on one point
that Gen. Grant was a great soldier and
that all ex~Confederates admire and an
preciate his magnanimfty TO the Con
fedeTate soldier at the close of the war
This feeling is. II possible. more decided
among the followers OF Col Mosbv. as
they remember the generous protection
extended their gallant leader after the
surrender at Appomat tox.
Only one, however, OF the folio wers OF
the great cavalry leader, who were seen.
favored the project Of participating in the
dedicatory exercises as an organization
OF ex-COnfederates Even this gentle
man, however, would not sanction the
participation of MosbyS men. if there was
even the suspicion of objection from the
members OF the G. A. z.
a prominent member OF the Confederate
Veterans Union said, while he had the
highest regard for Grant as a soldier and
would like very much, as an American, to
participate in doing him honor, lie did not
think il proper for the survivors of AIosby-s
Cavalry, or any other organization Of Con
federate veterans, to take part as such
He also spoke of the possibility Of some
thOughtless boys or won en- along the line
of march shouting Rebels or Traitors
at them Such an incident Is this he said
would mar the whole occasion, and pos
sibly revive feelings now nearly dead.
Nearly every one spoken to on the sub
ject, referred TO the objections raised last
July by the Grand Army of the Republic
to the ex-COnfedeTateS participating In the
parade in New York city.
Mr.. W. Ben Palmer, of Richmond, Va,
in writing 10 Mr. Robert " Narrower on
the subject, says: Il don't think I will
go on to the Grant parade. / think Gen.
Grants friendship for Col Mosby and high
esteem he had for Gen. Lee and his men
is all right. and we might take part in
this parade To do honor 10 the memory OF
Gen. Grant. but thee A 4. men have hers

to take part. but have not forgotten last

THE WEDDING RING.

1t must be remembered that, after all,
1he ring is nothing more than symbol that
the putting on OF a ring is not necessary to
complete the legal contract Of marriage
For 1000 years, ever since the Romans
plighted their troth with tiny iron band,
the magic circlet has kept its hold upon the
world. But signs are not wanting that it's
star 5 already on the wane. The engage
mentring may be regardedas doomed, since
Princess May substituted an engagement
bracelet FOR the conventional ring of be-
lrothal She has not. indeed. declined the
mystic Ymbol of the union Of hearts -
presented by the Welsh people to the Duke
of York. but the refusal OF the engagement
ring might quite fairly be regarded as the
first step in the path toward the abolition
OF its more important Successor. There is
quite another argument against the we'd
ding ring. The ring was adopted as the
outward and visible sign OF power and au-
thority In the Olden days, when messages
were seat by word OF mouth, it wasthe Gus
tom, in order TO prove the authenticity of
the bearer, to intrust him with the signet
ring OF the sender. Thus, when man took
unto himself a wife, whom he placed at the
head of the household that delegated au-
thority was made visible To the world by
comforting to her the ull-important ring on
the left hand, as being the inferior hand OF
the two, while man, as lord and master,
carried has upon the right or superior hand.
In a day, therefore. whenthe woman claims
the authority in her own right and scorn-
fully repudiates the idea OF being ''dele-
gated it would be only consistent for her
to refuse the symbol. Chicago Chronicle
