The rebels here number less than 800 men, and only the Aquidaban is able to pass the forts at the entrance of the harbor. "Tliere is no possibility of the rebels capturing Hio de Janeiro or Nietheroy, as every hill is fortified. "The regular troops are still in their barracks, the situation not having been such as to call on them for their serv ices. All the fighting has been done by the national guards, who have displayed great bravery. "Almost daily the forts «are called upon to light their heavy guns, and the rebel ships bombard the lower portion of the city with their rapid-firing guns, killing people in the streets with wanton savagery and with no possible gain. "Father Joao Baptiste, the guide and private secretary of the papal nuncion here, has issued a Damphlet lor private circulation, advocating the establish ment of a monarchy. ." "In this pamphlet Father Baptiste says that Admiral de Mello promised to restore the monarchy as well as the rights of the church. "The wholesale and shipping business is at a standstill, and one-fifth of the people have left the city.

(_>., National bank, was ar rested here last night at 11 o'clock, as he was leaving on a Pennsylvania train. The warrant was sworn out in the United Slates district court by William Garver, a tank builder. Garver charges Faurot with swindling him out of $15, --000. This case has created considerable excitement throughout Ohio, where the defendant is well known. It is said that the case in its entirety covers a number of visionary schemes by Faurot, which resulted in the wrecking of the Lima bank and impoverishing its cred itors. Faurot and his attorneys say that the arrest on a criminal charge is solely tor the purpose of collecting a civil debt. Faurot's attorneys explained the facts to District Attorney Milchrist. and told that official that the banker's answer, in winch Graver claims Faurot per jured himself, had not been filed, and therefore no court had jurisdiction over tlieir contests. They denied that their client has committed perjury, and held that, in any event, the answer, not hav ing been filed, could not be made the basis of such a charge. The district attorney was inclined to take the same view of the matter. Faurot says he is entirely innocent of the charge of per jury or au attempt to defraud Graver. A CRANK'S DEPARTURE.

Adventures of Some shipwrecked People on the Antipodes Islands. San Francisco, Jan. 20.— The story of the adventures of castaways, who were on an island for eighty days, comes from Auckland. The bark Spirit Dawn, bound from Chili to Rangoon, was wrecked at the Antipodes islands Sept. 4. The officers and crew, except the captain and four men, reached the islands safely. The men, who were scantily attired, were much exhausted. They secured their boat as best they could, but during the night it broke away. They constructed a rude hut of tussocks, and here they remained for thirty days, until rescued by the Hinemoa. subsisting that time on raw mutton, birds, penguin eggs and roots. They had no matches to light a lire. Although a government depot, contain ing provisions, clothing, etc., was ouly three miles from the spot where they landed, they did not think of searching the islands, and remained in ignorance of its existence. Curiously enough, too, although there are many goats, > sheep and cattle on the island, which is only 3,000 acres in extent, none were seen by the castaways. Notwithstand ing their privations, the survivors, eleven in number, enjoyed excellent i healtn. with the exception of a Rangoon native boy, whose toes dropped off." During the time they were on' the isl and they saw four passing vessels, but were unable to attract their attention. The Hinemoa noticed their signals, and a boat was sent ashore. The castaways were found in a piteous plight, stand ing on the rocks, some with pieces of raw penguin flesh in their hands, which they were eating. _ FOUND A FORTUNE. A Spaniard Discovers a Half Mill ion of Gold Coin in Mexico. Guadalajara, Mexico, Jan. 20.— A few weeks ago a Spaniard named Francisco Perez arrived at Ameca, this state, from Spain.

Toledo, 0., Jan. 20.— An attempt was made to wreck a passenger train last evening on the Lake Erie & West ern road at the crossing of the Nickel Plate, about six miles west of Fostori a. The attempt was so bungling as to show it tho work of amateur train robbers. A splice bar was wedged close to the rail, protruding about a foot above the latter. Had it been placed more firmly, it would have derailed the tram; as it was, it was torn away by the engine, the latter receiving only some scratches. The road's detectives are at work on the case. • _ ■■•r-r"."':- An Old Town Celebrates.

APPLAUSE IN THE HOUSE. REPUBLICANS CHEER THE DOLE LET TER TO WILLIS. SEI7CH IXTEEEST BY HIEMBEIiS.: Cleveland's Hawaiian Message and the Dole.- Willis Corre spondence Cause Great Curi osity in Congress— Democratic Approval of Our Minister's Course— Tin Schedule Argued. Washington, Jan. 20.— Only one amendment to the taritf bill was argued today, relating to the tin plate schedule. It was unimportant, however, affecting not the rates, but. the technicalities of the trade— the \ Henderson amendment to substitute the existing rates on agri cultural products, the Dingiey amend ment to change the rates on lime from 10 per cent ad valorem to a specific duty of six ceuts per 100 pounds, and the Grain amendment to reduce the duties on cotton and woolen goods from 45 per cent to 25 per cent were lost. At 1:10 the president's secretary ap peared with the Hawaiian message and the veto of New York and New Jersey bridge bill. The reference in the message of transmission to the remarkable letter of President Dole to Minister Willis caused great curiosity in the house, and Mr. Hitt, leader of the Republican minority of the committee on foreign affairs, asked that the letter be read. No ob jection was made. While the reading was progressing the members on both sides crowded down about the speaker's, rostrum, listening eagerly to the protest of the Dole government against the action of Minister Willis. At several points In the letter the Republicans applauded, and when it was finished they broke into cheers. When Mr. Willis' reply was read the Democrats in turn gave it their approv ing plaudits. The subsequent corre spondence evoked applause from each side alternately, the Republicans ap plauding President Dole's communica tions and the Democrats signifying with voice and hand their approval of the course of Mr. Willis. At the conclusion of the reading, the message and accompanying documents were referred to the committee on for eign affairs. i-' i\ '\. ? The house then resolved itself into a committee of the whole tor the consid eration of the tariff bill. The interest in the tariff, however, is plainly de parted, and members stood about in groups discussing the Hawaiian mes sage and correspondence. At 5:30 the committee rose and the house recessed until 8 o'clock, with an important amendment by Mr. Hitt. pending, the subject of which was to force Canada to admit our coal free in return for the free admission of Can adian coal into the United States. A VIGO HOUS KICK. Some Objections to the Income Tax Measure. Washington, Jan. 20.— The- oppo nents of the income tax have been stirred to renewed activity by the digest of the measure as given in the Asso ciated Press dispatches. It was the first time they had seen the detailed method proposed for levying the tax. Representative Sperry (Dem., Conn.) who is one of the most active opponents of the bill, points out some of the main objections to the income tax plan as proposed. He says that the committee has in no way overcome the objection that an income tax is inquisitorial. Mr. Sperry says that this "voluntary" prop osition gives no protection to the citi zen. The government assessors will select such citizens who have not made a voluntary statement, and will pry into their affairs. Mr. Sperry also says that the voluntary system "puts a premium on liars." Mr. Sperry points out that it will be absolutely im possible for business men to make a ' voluntary statement as to the amount of their incomes. He cites au actual case which has come to his attention of a man who has used a large stock of raw wool to make woolen hose without expecting to sell the goods, and merely for the purpose of keeping his men employed. The transaction re sulted in a net loss of $30,000. Mr. Sperry asks how such a transaction can be estimated in figuring on income. He also says that large commercial con cerns will never be able to make ah es timate of their incomes. They are in the habit of giving credit at . from four to six months, and their book accounts seldom or never show what their income is. If the book accounts are paid, it represents income, otherwise it repre sents loss. Mr. Sperry says there is no practical means of obviating this diffi culty. In the plan to have the disbur sing, officer of firms or corporations pay the tax on salaries of employes, the law chows it is manifestly unjust. The salary is certain and not the uncertain profits of a business firm, and yet the employer is compelled to do the book keeping and assume the burden of looking after the taxes on all the sala ries of all his employes. THE INCOME TAX. Congressman Hall Explains the Provisions of the Bill .Washington, Jan. Representa tive Hall, of Missouri, today explained a number of the details of the income tax to be reported to the house Monday. Mr. Hall is regarded in the house as the originator of the entire plan of. an in come tax. He has discussed. the sub ject fully with President Cleveland, and with the various members of the cabi net. Regarding an income tax, Mr. Hall said today : "I find there is .much apprehension as to the amount of in come which will be subject to a tax. If, for instance, a man receives a salary of $5,000 a year, the opinion seems to prevail that this entire salary is sub jected to a 2 per cent tax. As a matter of fact, however, all classes of incomes have an exemption of $4,000,' so that the . mau receiving a salary .of $5,000 would pay a tax on only $1,000. .' One of the most inexplicable things to me is the opposition to this income tax bill as passed by the ways and means commit tee from the wealthy classes of the ynlted Statej. This bill should have been entitled, A bill to suppress dem agogy and the growth ;of ■ anarchy and socialism.

'Were 1 the legal adviser of all the con solidated wealth of the United States, I would advise them to advocate just such an income tax bill as this, because it shows a willingness upon the part of the wealth to bear some of the burdens of government taxation, and relieves the poor from that burden. If this bill is defeated, the demagogue can then well go upon the stump and say that the wealth of this government, while it receives the protection and defense of all other classes, refuses to bear any of the burdens for its support.' One of the objections urged against the income tax," said Mr. Hall, "that it is inquisi torial in its character. So is the cus toms tax inquisitorial, Is not the in ternal revenue tax on whisky and to bacco inquisitorial? Isn't personal property taxation, which is resorted to by thirty-nine out of forty-four states of the Union, inquisitorial when it . re quires a man to make au affidavit to every dollar's worth .of personal prop erty he has aucl allows an officer to go into his wife's wardrobe and drag out her watch and jewelry and ALL HER FINERY? "And yet the same men who have succeeded in passing these laws in the state now come forward and oppose an income tax on the ground that it is in quisitorial. Another of their silly argu ments is that that the income tax is a reward for perjury. While we have heard demagogues on the stump say many harsh and cruel things of wealthy, men, we have never heard one so bold as to say that men who receive incomes of $4,000 would make themselves a band of perjurers in order to protect them selves from a small, pitiable tax on their incomes of 2 per cent. - Instead of this measure being a reward to perjury by its passage, if we refuse to pass it be cause this claim is made, then the refusal to pass it from such an argu ment will be a reward to a threatened perjury. '•-.■'•: • •The danger arising from an investi gation of. the operation and methods of business men is entirely destroyed by the first part of section 10 of this bill," said Mr. Hall, "which punishes severely any collector or deputy collector who divulges any information regarding a person's financial condition. "I asked the members of the ways and means committee if they could even theoretically frame a tariff bill without an income tax that' would yield a sufficient revenue for the years 1895 and 1896 and not have a deficit of $25,000,000 for 1897 and 1898. They said it could not be done." .. V' ! : v Railroads in Public Lands. Washington, Jan. 20.— The senate committee on railroads has finally con-: eluded its consideration of the bill re quiring railroads throughout the public lauds to stop at town sites selected by the secretary of the Interior, and today authorized a favorable report upon the bill, with minor amendments. ---.The-, measure is a general one, and applies to all railroads traversing the public lands. but the condition of affairs which caused its introduction arose in connection with the towns of Enid and Round Pond, in Oklahoma, on the line of the Chicago & Rock Island railroad.

Toledo, Jan. 20.— The Blade today has an interview with ex-Secretary Foster on the bond circular of Secretary \ Carlisle. . Concerning the story that a year ago he had the plates engraved for a bond issue which was stopped by ! President Harrison, Mr. Foster said:] "f hat is not correct. he story arose from the well-known fact that I favored a bond issue, in case the gold reserve went below the hundred-million mark, j But it did not drop below the Hue dur- ] ing the Harrison administration, and there was no need that this step should be taken. As to President Harrison, he never discussed the point, because the reserve never fell as low as the hundred-million line. lam of the im pression that he would have favored the plan had the treasury gold fallen below that." In reply to a question as to whether the secretary has the right to issue the bonds under the act of ISTS, he said: "it Is my view that the law did not contemplate the selling of bonds to meet current government expenses, which is really what Mr. Carlisle proposes. But he undoubtedly has authority to sell bonds to replenish the reserve. Ile can do that aud than pay it out for current expenses, then sell tbe bonds to bring up the reserve again, and soon. But this evades the spirit of the law, iv my opinion. : ; - SOVEREIGN EXPLAINS. The Basis for His Suit for an In - junction. Dcs Moines, 10., Jan. 20.— Grand Master Workman Sovereign has not re ceived an answer from Senator Allen vet. He received a telegram from J.W. Hayes, the general secretary of the Knights of Labor, congratulating him on the progress of the suit. Sovereign furnished the tollowing statement to the Associated Press today as the basis for his suit for an injunction: "if the secretary of the treasury iff compelled by law to keep in the nation al treasury ?100,000.000 in gold he vio lated the law when he reduced the amount below the required sum, and should be impeached. If he is not re quired to maintain the 8100.000,000 gold reserve or any specific sum, his recent offer to sell 000,000 of bonds under the act of Jan. 14, 1875, is without au thority and in violation of the law. li the authority to sell bonds for the pur pose of keeping intact the 5100,000,000 gold reserve, then h'.s proposition to sell bonds is still without authority of law and a violation of his oath of office.''

"If the other side manifests a disposi tion to be fair and reasonable, I shall not bring suit.
