SHOOTING ON A STEAMER.

Passengers on the steamer Voltaire,
which arrived at New York yesterday,
from Rio de Janeiro and other Brazilian
ports, witnessed an exciting shooting
ARRAY among the steerage passengers
last Saturday, while the steamer was on
the high seas, in which Assoun Man
cour, Il Turk, was shot and painfully
wounded.
The Voltaire's officers said the first
sign of trouble was observed when
Maria Scarfo, wife of one Of the steer
age passengers, began talking eSciledly
10 her husband, near the foot Of the
steerage stairway. Then, those who
witnessed the affair say, the husband
drew q pistol and his wife knife aud
attacked Mancour, who was standing
nearby. In the fracas the Turk was
shot through the neck. The crew and
passengers, attracted by the commo-
ton, stopped the quarrel before it had
resulted fatally and the wounded man
was taken to the ships hospital, where
the surgeon extracted the bullet. The
affair is believed to have originated
from complaint made to her husband
by Mrs. Scarfo regarding remarks
which Moncour addressed to her. The
VoIlaire, while docking at Santos,
struck the quay. The impact stove in
the bow, bent the stern and filled the
forepeak with water. The leaks were
stopped with cement. Repairs will be
made ut New York.

the White House today. Mann declared
that the question was delicate one
and its injection into the proceedings

at the White House to make appoint
ment later to discuss with the president
the question of tolls 10 be charged
vessels using the Panama canal. As
chairman of the House committee on
Interstate and Foreign Commerce,
Mann will undoubtedly have charge
of such legislation. As understand
il" he said, tthe maintenance of the
canal will cost 100000 year.
President Taft suggests in his message
that the toll be made about 81. pei
gross ton for the vessel using the canal.
1t has been figured that this would
bring us in return of only $1,000, OOC

Tribute of Respect.

Washington, Dec. 10.-Trib,lte to the
memory OF Melville W. Fuller, late
chief justice OF the U. s. Supreme
Court by the members of the bar Of
the Supreme Court attracted q most
distinguished body of men to the room
OF the high court today.
A score OF United States senators
we're there and men from many states,
whose legal talents have given them
national regulations.
Richard Olney, of Massachusetts,,
former secretary OF state, presided. 10
brief address he said the death Of O
chief justice is an event OF the first
importance.
Mr.. Olney gave sketch OF Chief
Justice Fuller's life and cited as an evil
dence of his courage and greatness the
fact that in time OF political and in.
dustrial distress he fearlesslY followed
the dictates OF his judgment and con.
science in declaring against the legality
OF the income tax.
Among those who delivered addresses
on the ability and virtues OF tho late
chief justice, was former Governor
Montague, of Virginia. Suitable reso-
lutions we're adopted.

Another Mutiny In Brazilian Navy.

Rio De Janeiro, Dec. 10.-Another
mutiny in the Brazilian navy ended to-
day after FIVE hours bombardment
by loyal ships in the harbor and shore
batteries OF the naval barracks at Com
bra Island, where the sailors ran up
the red flag last night. Combra Island
is only short distance from this city.
The barracks mutineers were supported
by the scoutship Rio Grande do Sui.
The barracks and the Rio Grande do
Sui, both suffered severe damage in the
bombardment, and it is reported that a
number OF sailors were killed. Shortly
before noon, the mutineers ran up flags
OF truce, aud made an unconditional
offer OF surrender.
The mutineers were placed under
arrest and it is probable that the ring
leaders in the affair will be executed,
az it is believed that the unwarranted
leniency shown the mutineers Of No

the present disorder. The Rio Grande
