REVOLUTION in PARAGUAY. !
Bloody Fight in the Chamber OF Depu-
ties at AScunsion.


Buenos Ayres, Jan. 1.-THE rumors
circulated mere of revolution in the
repS,lic OF Paraguay turned out to be
well founded. The revolt which broke
QUE at ASCENSION, the capital, was
caused by the question of the presi-
Dental succession, the term of Presi-l
dent Aceyal expiring in November OF
this year.
The revolutionary junta was COM
posed of General Caballero, General
Escobar, Col. j. A. Escurra, the min
lister of war; Senior Mario, a cabinet
minister, and Senator Freitas.
President Aceval resigned the presi-
dency and congress accepted his resig-
nation.
A collision occurred in the chamber
OF deputies during which Senator Fa-
cando Insfran, president of the Hygen-
&c council, was killed, and General
Caballero, Senators Miguel and Cor
balan and Deputy Fernando Carreras
We're severely wounded.
The congress of Paraguay has
placed the reins of government in the
hands of the vice president, Senior
Hector Carvallo.
Great excitement prevails at Ascun.

CONGRESS-.

washington, Jan. lO.-HOuSe-Th
house spent the day considering the
bill to create a permanent census bu-
reau. While the general sentiment
was in favor of permanent bureau,
there was a strong opposition to the
bill as drawn, on the ground that it
was not we'll matured. There also
was an overwhelming demand for a
provision to place the present en-
ployes of the census bureau under
the protection of the civil service law,
and the bill finally was recommitted
with instructions to report back
bill containing plan for detailed
organization of permanent census
bureau and including also provision
to place the present employees of the
census bureau under the protection of
the civil service. The fight to recon-
NIT was made under the leadership
of Burllett of Nebraska, the new mem
Der of the appropriation committee.
A bill was passed unanimously to give
Mrs. Mckinley the free mailing priv
ilege during the remainder of her life.
The house then adjourned until Mon
day.
Washington, Jan. 3.-Senate.-In
The senate today Mr.. Nelson, of Min
nesota, called up the bill providing for
the establishment of a department Of
commerce. He explained the necessity
which he said existed for the passage
of such measure, and was piled with
questions by several senators who
said that sufficient time had not been
allowed for looking into the merits of
the measure. Mr.. Teller criticised
that feature relating to the transfer of
the geological survey, while Mr.. Hale
said that the bill provided for a de-
partment which ultimately would be
one of the largest in the government.
The bill finally went over subject to
call by Mr.. Nelson. The senate was
in executive session for an hour and
a half
House.-The house of representa-
lives spent the day in general discus
sion of the pension appropriation bill,
the first of the annual budgets. The
debate took wide range. Grosvenor,
of Ohio, and Hepburn, of Iowa, de-
nounced report presented to the last
G. A. r. encampment criticising the
course of themselves and other mem
bers of congress on the veteran "pref-
erence" bill, which was defeated at
the last session. They explained that
their opposition to the bill was due to
the incorporation in the bill of a clause
which had not been endorsed by the
G. A. R., placing veterans of the
Spanish war in the preferential class.
Rixey, of Virginia, caused something
of stir on the democratic side by
advancing a proposition to open the
doors Of national soldiers homes to
ex-confederates and to furnish federal
aid to state confederate homes Rich
ardson, of Alabama. was the only dem
ocrat who Joined Rixey in support
of it.

ANOTHER AMERICAN GRAB
CONTROL OF EUROPEAN WATER
WAYS ARE SECURED.
cargos May Now Be Billed Through
From American Inland Ports
to Inland Cities

to Inland Cities.
London, Jan. 13.-One of the most
important of American commercial en-
terprises in Europe has just culmin-
ated here. 1t consists in the secur-
ing of all water routes for American
cargoes of grain and other commodi-
ties from inland ports of the United
States to inland ports of Europe, and
embraces the purchase by American
capital of several British and other
canals.
Frank w. Hawley, vice president Of
the Erie Canal Traction company, has
been on this side several months quiet
ly securing concessions for the opera,
ton of European canals by electricity.
The Erie concern today secured con-
troll of about 5000 miles of canals in
England and on the continent. AS a
result cargoes will shortly be shipped
on the same lading from Duluth,
Mimi, to Brussels, Bruges, Client and
Cologne, and later to many points in
the United Kingdom, France Germany
and Italy
At the forthcoming session of parlia-
ment the British legislators will be
asked to grant permission for the cree
ton of central power stations for the
propulsion of traffic in at least two
British canals. These will be operated
with American capital, although their
control will nominally remain in Brit
ish hands.

Rosett, Resented Intru,Ion.

Toward the latter part Of Dante Ga
briel Rossetti's life he rarely left his
house and garden and preferred to see
his friends and acquaintance by ap-
poiatment. Woe betide the too intru-
sive stranger. 1t is said that one day
an enterprising man called, duly
armed with a letter of Introduction,
and the servant was nearly yielding
to the impulsive stranger, whereupon
the painter of "Dante's Dream" leaned
over the banister and said, in a firm,
mellifuous voice, Tell the gentle
man that am not at home"
