Their launches canted a strong force from C< nseieao to the landing place in half an hour. Tbs HtUicklng party was not discovered until the officers began tp land their men. There was heavy firing for some time, and then the Gov? ernment troops retreated, leaving forty men and ftes "libers captives and six officers and flfty or sixty men dead on tho field. Between 4:i" and o o'clock about LOM Government troops were brought up to the aid of the garrison, and the combined forces advanced under a heavy fire from the machine and Krupp guns on Cain Island. Admiral da Gama called into action more troops from Conccicao and brought his launches and the warshln Ltberdade near shore. The Government troops lost heavily. Their advance was stopped and ns they had begun to run short of ammunition, they were soon yield? ing ground to thc insurgents. The attacking i ec* pressed forward until within 1,000 yards of Armacao, but was eventually withdrawn, na tbs Government troops were constantly receiving re? inforcements. The Ltberdade and the launches, aided by the Aquldaban, kept back thc gerri while the Insurgents were embarking. The Llberdade was the target of a hot fire, but re? mained uninjured. Before noon the Insurgents had left the main? land, after spiking the guns of the Armacao battery. The insurgents lost between fifty and sixty killed and wounded. Among the dead wens five officers. The Government force ls supposed to have lost about 150 privates and fifteen ..Ul? cers. Admiral Da Gama is said to have been wound In the neck and arm, but neither in Jury is dangerous. Had lt not been for the arrival of Government reinforcements the victory of the insurgents would have been complete. The superiority of the enemy's numbers discouraged the insurgent marines. The Government has strongly rein? forced the Nlctheroy garrison. The German bark Nanny, Captain Muller, ar? rived here yesterday, fifty-six days out from Rio de Janeiro.

After the Cabinet Council ended to-day, the Executive Committee of the National Liberal Federation obtained permission to put a | lutlon before the annual meeting of thc Fi ri Hon, declaring that no further mischievous meddling by the House of Lords shall detract from the work of charter reform which the rep? resentative house ls authorized to carry out. It ls reported that the delegates will be asked to approve a resolution declaring that the .. tlnuance of a house of hereditary legislators has become intolerable, and that the House of Lords has been allowed to exist too long. The meeting of the National Liberal Federa? tion in Portsmouth opened to-day. Robert Spence Watson, the president, said in his Introductory addrese that he rejo.ced in the recent conduct of the Peers. They had acted In the manner best calculated to bring to the front the question, not of?mending them, but of ending them. The day for forgiving the Iniquities of the Peers, even If they should repent, had gone. Loud ap plause greeted this declaration of principles. The Liberal and Radical Union, at its meet? ing t.-day, passed a resolution denying the right of th.- House of Lo.Ms to return to the country the bills passed by the House of Common* The resolution also condemned the institution of the upper house as a danger to th.- State. The Duke of Devonshire, leader of the Liberal Unionises, has calied a meeting of his parlia? mentary party for Thursday. This meeting will be asked to declda whether or not the parly shall support Lord Salisbury against the Com? mons.

The House of Comrtona met to-day pursuant to the adjournment hud on January 12. The business transacted wai entirely formal.

The members expect that to-morrow the Government will make a d?clamtlon rejecting the amendments made by thc House of Lords to both the Parish Councils ant Employers' Lia? bility bills ? _ SIX HUNDRED LIVES EKPORTKi) LOST.

TAMMANY VKRSATILITY AT ELECTION CRIMKS SHOWN. TRIAL OF DENNIS J. BUCKUbT, ONE OF JUSTICE divver 'I i.ikiti;nants. IN THE COURT OF OTEH AND TEUMINER. Tammany's versatility in election fraud ls be? ing strikingly exemplified In the cases now on trial before Judge Barrett in the Court of dyer and Termlner. The third of these was begun yesterday, and lt revealed a method of crime snttrely different from those practised in the two previous cases. The many trials still to come will doubtless develop many other novelties In Schemes tor a dishonest ballot and an unfair count. Tho present defendant ls Dennis J. Buckley. one of Police Jostles Div vet's lieutenants In the lld Assembly District, He was one of the board Of Inspectors of the Eighteenth Election Dis? trict of the lld Assembly District, his associates being Joseph K. Anderson, Republican, and Fargal J. Gallagher, Democrat. All three were Indicted. Assistant District-Attorney Wellman ha i expected to try Gallagher first, but an? nounced to Judge Barrett that the witnesses for the pe..pk- in this (iso had suffered a remark? able lapse of memory sines they told their stories to him three weeks ago. Now he was unable to get them to recollect any of their testimony. Therefore he first called that of Buckley. THE DEFENCE OVERRULED. William V. Howe objected to this change of plan. Mr. Howe, with Edward F. Walsh, has been retained to defend Buckley. Doubtless Tammany leaden WOTS beginning to be alarmed over the rapid succession of th" convictions ob? tained by Mr. Wellman of guilty election in Bpectora It was n.seary to make a strong fight for Buckley. District-Attorney Fellows had assigned George Gordon Battle, one of his as slatanta, to aid Mr. Wellman. Judge Barrett decided that as all the cases were on the calendar, the prosecuting attorney could chose any one he pleased, so the trial of Buckley Was boffin M at Of th- day was spent in getting the Jury, which consists of the fol? lowing: Jacob Ash, clerk, No. TH) Lexlngton-ave.; Marni.?viii.'

Stewart, manager, No. 1,SM Washing!on-aVO. THE CASI AGAINST BUCKLEY. Mr. Wellman's opening address waa brief. He said that Buckley had allowed the easting of sn Illegal VOtS by a man unknown to the prose? cution. S..nie one had voted In the name of John Reilly In the morning, and when Reilly came to the polling place In the afternoon, he had to swear In his vote. Buckley knew Reilly; In fact, lived in the same house with him, and therefore must have connived at the illegal vote. His plan was to have the surplus of votes drawn out In such a way as to wipe out entirely the Republican vote. Bellly testified first. He said he lived at No. 31 Cbery-St last yar, but found the place un? pleasant after having testified against Buckley before the Grand Jury. Ills neighbors cast so many slurs on him that he thought lt better to move, and Went to No. 4"0 Madlson-st. He had lived in the former bouse nearly a year. Buck? ley also lived there Ht.; had known Buckley for s.ven or eight years. His mother had known the deft ndant'S |.arents In Ireland. The wit? ness saw Buckley almost every evening while they lived In the same house. < ?n election day. Reilly voted at about 2:30 O'clock As soon as the ballot clerk called out his name. Hinkley said: "Somebody hits voted in Reilly's name." The witness did not see him look Into his registry boob before making this announcement. lb illy then swore in his vote. "Was Buckley In the place when you regis? tered?" Judge Barrett asked. "Ile was." "Did b* recognize you when you registered?" the Jud*?.- further asked. Yes. slr." "When you voted, did he recognize you?" "Weil, not exactly." It also came out that some one had been sent into the booth with him, although he was neither blind nor disabled. Reilly caused some merriment l.y savin? that he had Intended to Vote the Democratic ticket, nut on HnrtlnK that BOOM "'ie had bSSH all..wed to vote In his name, he put In a Republican ballot. Mr. Howe's cross-examination related chiefly to whether Huckle/ had looked Into his book bef.ire announcing that some one had voted lu Reilly's name. The witness wobbled a little on this point. Tho trial will goon to-day. I'.ter Neville, who was convicted last Wednes? day, will be sentenced to-morrow. nmg coori:irs WMMOMT WOWOMMD.

KEWSTOKE WAS AN fNCOMIORTAni.K CTTY TO WAUK AROUND IN I 111 UtOAT-OAMOgOl AT BEA?COLD WEATHER EXPEiTED. A small Western bli:./..ml came to town yes? terday with sleet and sn.cv and a cold and piercing wind. In the morning tho wind sprang up from the northeast, and, increasing In force as the div wot,, on, brought threatening, heavy weather on land and SSS* observer Ininn, In his nest on top of the Equjtabls Building, knew from his telegrams from all over the country thal the storm was coming, and hoisted signals warning ships not to put to sea. From Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and Illinois the wires brought word of the ?en lily and th" rapid eastward r".sh of the storm. Tlc Western Union wires w.ie reported nt night to be working satisfac torlly to the West and South, though all th* Wt ?rn wires were constantly bringing In ac? counts of the storm In the regions through which they parsed. By 2 o'clock In the afternoon the snow was falling rapidly In this --ity and the wind was driving It about, and swirling it Into drifts at all tlc sri-et comers. In tho afternoon the horse cars [int on four horses and the cable-cars kept their tracks clear by sending otu sweepers. A large contingent of the army of the unemployed found work In sweeping the sidewalks. At ii o'clock the snow had become so fine that when one walk.-l against the wind It sifted Into his eyes and made pedestrianism anything but a pleasure. Hy 10 o'clock the fine snow had become sleet, though under foot lt was sloppy and "sposhey." THE WORST OF THE SEASON SO FAR. It was the most widespread and thc most ? storm of the winter so far. It was central over Louisville early In the morning, but lt rapidly moved to the northeast. There were really two belts of storm in the country. South of the Tennessee Valley it was raining heavily, and nuth of lt it was snowing. The two belts of storm threatened to unite over New-York. It was cold In Ncw-Kngland and In the lake region. The telephone lines in this city were not inter? fered with, as most of the wires are underground. A c i| l wave ls expect I to follow the storm and then there aili h.. go d sleighing When the storm came down on the city yester? day it caught all the horsed sm .nth shod, and there was much slipping and falling in the streets, in Chambers-et, near the Court i. use, no less than five horses fell within two mini; Ti,.- temperature rose slightly as the day faded into night, and al 10:30 o'clock tba Weather Bureau's official thermometer <>n top of the Kquitable Building registered -"? di gross above nra and iher., were Indications of a further rise in tho course of the night. At ll o'clock three-ouarters nf a loot of snow- had fallen in this city. Mr. nunn said last night: "The storm centre has divided and made two storm centres. One is off the Middle Atlantic Coast, and one ls In th" lower lake region. This, of course, keeps up high winds over all the Intervening country. The ninds are especially high all along the At? lantic Coast. At Block Island lt ls blowing sixty mile-; an hour, and in this city about thirty sis miles an hour." Th.- high win.ls are expect.-.1 t i continue ail to-day, a ri.', the weather to become colder. There v. ;- <.r::e trouble with the telegraph wires re ported In the evening from tho Arkansas Valley and T.-xas. The manager Of the Western Union operating-room said last nUrht: "We are in fair W'.st. bul lt is blowing ard snowing all the way to Washington." TROUBLE WITH THE WIRES. Considerable trouble wasexperlerccdln theearly part of the evening with the wires between this cl ty? an.! Washing! in, but they worked better later on. From the West reports came In of the blocking of railroad trafllc, and to preserve the balance of the Fastern and Western worlds the cable brought news of a gr.-at gale howling over the British IsLs. There ls ii. dnibt but that great damage was done ti shipping by yesterday's storm, and that to-day the news of mans- wreck* will come in. The gale blew on shore and lt was a fortunate ship that "clawed off shoro" and - a room last night. The blinding sleet added another dement of danger to the high se rs and Acre* gales, and a sailor's lot was not a happy one. The man on shore was not par? ti whirly comfortable, but the man at sea was not only in discomfort hut in peril. T!i- lndi.atl.ns late last night were that the sleet would change to rain by daybreak. The ferry-boats made their trips with difficulty after night came down, and a trip on one of the lon;,' romes, such as the Staten Island and South Brooklyn ferries, was anything but pleasant. Coming after such a beautiful day as Sunday, the stormy wcath.-r of yesterday seemed especially WV) re. A man who could sit before an open fire yesterday and hear the storm howl around the corners of Iii-; notlSS W8* comfortable; those who had t i be out In tho storm were miserable.

When the time came for the speeches, Ed? mund Wetmore called the noisy clubmen ta order and spake to them as follows: Gentlemen of thc Republican Club: To one and all and to our honored guests 1 bid a hearty welcom* I see there has been no neel of i ?co;eant-at-arr.is to get a full quorum and the pr sence of detectives In evening dress is unnecessary ..>r th re ia no mao h.;-.- 'better than his party." N- >r seed we fear to exercise our prlvlli gee aa American citizens, and give free expression to o ir pride in our common country, f >r there is no authority here to haul down the American gag. We mee: to honor the sacred mein irv of Lincoln, ami to express our devotion to the Republicen party ri issert Its prlnciplee recall Its history, and de? rive from Its glorious past renewed faith In its yet more ul.irons future. We nave seen a so-called campaign of education ending with the amastng spectacle of the repudia? tion hy Its conductors of all tiny professed t? teach. Protection den maced as robbery, and then adopted and embraced In ah*pe so twisted and transformed that it become* robbery indeed. The necessary rev? enue proclaimed sa the only constitutional measure of a tariff, and then s tariff proposed that fails to produce sn adequate revenue, and plunges the coun? try Into the Krulf of a deficit The patriotic and spirited diplomacy that protected the American Miler in chill, ana upheld the honor of the flag, de? rided and reviled, said theo, tapoo stories aa to the marines that would aol a*vs found credence even If fold to marines, a course of .Hplomacy. or rather if duplicity, entered upon?which, proceeding from political blunders to political crimes, has culminated in a failure thai would be ridiculous if lt were not humiliating, and leaves us in wonder which ta the more to be condemned, the spirit that dictated the itt. met, or th- servility that s. -.-ks t.. I ail lisa lt. V.*# may be tempted lo suv of the Administration, as lunlus said of Rori Grafton, t;s distinction ta not that Your Lordship "always tjose wr>ng by design, but that rou should n.-vcr do right by mistake.'" Many are the taus, s thal hive been suggested is th>> sources of our trouble, lt is the alleged folly of a former Administration. It ls Induatrtal llsturbanees that are affecting the whole civilised world; lt Is the recoil fr .ii ? sceasive and feverish prosperity. Not so. There ls hut one single cause it all our trouble and tii.it lu the utter and Irre? trievable incapacity of the Democratic party, a* it present constituted, to control or administer the government of the United States, and there is ait one remedy, lt ls to reman the Ship of State with Republican* from quarterdeck to forecastle, ind turning her from th,* breakers, direct her once igaln along her former course of proaperlty and nafety. And WS Sill ft* lt Heil :.l! the daj of ijattle. The cry that then will pass d iwn the ranks will not be. "Who nv V up the muster rolls'*" but 'Dow* with the Wlison bill." and "Vp with tb* baener, blasoned on all Its folds with the motto if American protection." And would y.>u know the result? Forecast lt from the event of the hatti* >n the historic ground ~<t Harlem Heights, where the gallant young volunteer from our own rest ?nent headed the lien ler band that etormed the ivrv stronghold of our foes, and planted the Re? publican flag over the ahatterej majorltlee of tb* XlVth District. HlrfllOD NEWMAN ON LINCOLN. Mr. Wetmore then introduced Hlshop Newman* who responded to the toast. "Abraham Lincoln," ile spoke as follows: Mr. Preside!!: and QsntlSgfSO of the RepuhaV mu Club of the viiy >f New-York!
