AN EXCITING SCENIC.

Rio DE JANEIRO, Jan. 80.—Monday was one of the most exciting days that Rio de Janeiro has experienced since the commencement of hostilities between the insurgents and the Brazilian government The United States naval fleet stationed in this harbor furnished the excitemcnt Provoked beyond endurance by the continued carelessness of the gunners aboard the rebel warship Aquidaban and tired of the indifference shown on the part of the revolutionary admiral to all his protests that American vessels entering and leaving the harbor were not afforded proper protection by the rebel fleet, Admiral Benham on Monday mado a demonstration with the American war vessels under his command which has taught a much-needed lesson to the belligerents on both sides, and which will undoubtedly have the effect hereafter of securing proper recognition of the rights of vessels under the American flag. In the events of Monday the foreign colony was particularly interested, and the action of Admiral Benham will probably furnish a precedent by which the commanders of the other foreign vessels in this port will be guided in the future.

IudUcrlmloata Firing.

The cause of all the trouble was the treatment to which three American barks were subjeoted last Saturday by an indiscriminate fusilade from the insurgent warships. The American barks were the A11113', the Good News and the Julia Rollins. On Saturday last while lying at anchor all three vessels were endangered by the chance shots fired by the insurgents. These whistled through the rigging and passed the men at work upon the decks. Many men of the crewB of the three vessels narrowly escaped being shot.

Appeals to Keiihara for Protection. After suffering a great deal of annoyance and running great risks in the hope that the insurgents would realize the folly of their action and put a atop to their reckless firing, the three captains held a hurried conference and determined to appeal for protection to the United States warships, and to request that the barks be given an escort to the wharves. Capts. Kiehne, Myrick and Blackford put off in small boats at great danger to themselves and pulling up to where the flagship New York was stationed asked protection from Admiral Benham.

The admiral promised that he would do everything in his power to afford them the fullest protection. He said, however, that before making any display of force on the part of his fleet or giving the captains the escort which they requested, he thought it only right to first notify the insurgent admiral, Da Gama, of the captains' complaints. Perhaps, he said, as a result of his notification, Da Gama would promptly order his gunners to stop endangering American ships, and this would terminate all further cause for complaint

Accordingly Admiral Benham sent one of his officers to the Aquidaban with orders to acquaint Admiral da Gama with the facts in the case and to ask him to have an end put to the reckless gunning.

DA Gama ID Bad. Humor.

Da Gama was apparently in a very bad humor when the American ofllcer arrived on board and with many exclamations of impatience he listened to the recital of the captain's grievance, ile was evidently still annoyed over the unsatisfactory conferences which he had held with Admiral Benham and was indisposed to do anything which would prove pleasing to the commander of the United States fleet

When the American officer had finished his statement Da Gama, with a shrug of his shoulder's, salcl in a very sharp tone: "It Is not my fault. The American ship captains should know enough to keep themselves and their crews out of the range of our guns. I Bhall not take any notice of this matter."

The curt response to his message aroused the ire of Admiral Benham and he determined to make such a showing that it would produce a lasting effect upon the insurgent*. He allowed Sunday to pass quietly and without any appearance that he intended to take any further notice of the affair, i.

Decks Cleared for Action.

Early Monday morning, however, the greatest activity prevailed on board the fleet Shortly after daybreak the decks of the flagship New York, of the Newark, San Francisoo, Detroit and other United States war vessels here cleared for action and their anchors were raised. Admiral Benham then sent word to the captains of the Good News, Julia Rollins and Amy that he was prepared to keep his promise to them, and that as soon as they were ready to proceed he would escort them to the wharves. Capt Blackford of the Amy announced that he would get ready at once andaocept the protection which Admiral Benham had offered him. Accordingly the Amy took her position in the ranks of the United Btates war vessels and the formidable procession started on its way up Rio harbor.

Great Excitement in the Harbor. The news that something important was taking place on board the American warships rapidly spread both on Bhore and on board the ships of all the foreign fleets represented at this port The streets at Rio fronting the bay were orowded and every vessel in the harbor presented an animated scene as its crew rushed npon deck and Um men settled themselves to wit

CRAWTORDSVLLLE, INDIANA, TUESDAY, JAISTUARY 83. 1894

ness what followed. The Detroit took the leading part in the procession. The fleet aa it approached nearer to Rio came quite close to the shore,' causing Intense excitement among both the soldiers and civilians on land and the sailors on board the various vessels. The Amy proceeded on her way to the wharf and was safely moored there. Not until her captain had reported that he was fully satisfied did his powerful escort leave him.

Old Much Good.

Throughout the whole affair not a single shot was fired, but thesoene was quite as impressive as If this had been done. After passing along Rio's water front the fleet returned out into the bay and anchored in nearly the same position as it had occupied previous to the demonstration. The affair is the sole absorbing topic of conversation afloat and ashore.

There can be no doubting the good that has been done to American shlf ping in Brazilian porta by the demon* etration in Rio this morning. It has taught both sides in the present struggle in Brazil—and they needed the lesson badly—that however indiscriminately they may bombard eaoh other's property, the United States Intends resolutely to defend the rights of every vessel which sails beneath the protection of the stars and stripes.

Benham Insulted.

The minister of justice, representing the Peixoto, engaged to meet Admiral Benham officially at noon Sunday at the American consulate. The admiral, attired in full uniform, was at the consulate at the appointed time, but the minister of justice did not appear. Admiral Benham Waited for an hour, and as the minister had not then appeared he left An hour later an orderly from the ministry went to the consulate and said that the minister of justice was engaged elsewhere that day, but did not tender an apology for his absence. All the officers and men of the American fleet are fairly wild over the discourteous treatment accorded Admiral Benham by the minister.

Rebels Wis Battle.

Rio DE JANEIRO, Jan. 26, via Montevideo, Jan. 30.—Early on the morning of January 24 a strong force of insurgents landed on Bom Jeus island under cover of a flre from their launches and captured the breastworks held by the government troops. One field gun and a quantity of ammunition also fell into their hands. Enough provisions to load one of the launches were taken by the insurgents. It is reported that twenty-five were killed and seventy wounded. The merchant launches were carried off, and it Is said along the shore that they were destroyed.

BADLY SCARED.

Riotous Minora In Pennsylvania Have Lost Their Cnt&rage. MANSFIELD, Pa., Jan. 80.—Nine Hungarians went to Foster's gun store at Bridgevllle Monday afternoon and demanded ammunition. On being refused they threatened to demolish the store. They then left, and fifty men arriving with Winchesters pursued them, capturing three. The latter were armed with revolvers.

In the Tom's run and the Painter's run: districts there is no sign of Immediate trouble. The 100 deputies have complete control, and are not meeting with the slightest resistance. The rioters have come to a realization of the seriousness of their work and are hiding in every corner. The deputies went from house to house and thoroughly searched for the guilty parties. The deputies were divided into arresting squads, and, with their weapons ready for any resistance, visited the different places where the rioters were thought to be.

About fifty arrests have been made so far. The arresting squads brought their prisoners to Roseville, where they were handcuffed in pairs and marched to the train with four deputies with Winchester rifles as guards. A large crowd gathered to see them off and many threats were made. At Mansfield hundreds of persons followed them to the lock-up. The prisoners were badly frightened lest they should be attacked. They made up one of the roughest-looking gangs of men ever seen in that section. Not one of them is an Amerioan citizen and only a few can talk or understand English. Most of those arrested are miners from the Roseville and Hazletine mines on Tom's run. They were found In the attics, cellars, out-houses, under beds, in closets, and several had cut open bedtioks and had crawled in.

Heidelberg, a hamlet 1 mile from Woodville, is said to be the general headquarters of the rioters. Three groups ot ankrohists are located here and it is known that the rioters have much ammunition stored away. Deputies are searching the bouses to find it They have been unable to locate the ringleaders and it is believed they are hiding in the hills. ROBBERS LOOT A BANK VAULT.

AN INCOME TAX

The House DiEcuaaea the Internal Revenue Bill.

ARGUMENTS FOR AND AGAINST IT.

Mr. McMllIln, In Ills Plea Favoring the Measnre. Bays the Rich Should Pay More Taxes—View* of Several

Other Speakers.

M'MIM.I* rAVOBS TIIE TAX WASHINGTON. Jan. 80.—Debate on the internal revenue bill, including the provision of the inoome tax was begun in the house.

Mr. McMillin (dem., Tenn.) chairman of the sub-committee of ways and means on Internal revenue, was immediately reeognlzed, and according to the caucus programme he offered as an amendment to the provision imposing a tax of $1 per thousand upon oigarettes, the entire Internal revenue bill.

Mr. McMillin was recognized to open the debate in favor of the amendment Mr. McMillin saidi "We will not dlsotaarge our fluty to the people who suffer w« will not keep the pledges that we have made to them we will not deserve that oontinued support that thelAmerlosn people have given the democratic party from ttmo to time. If we do not like men oome resolutely to the disoharge ol these duties and dotermine, whatever else oocurs, robbery shall no longer be carried en by operation 01 law. Let come what will, we will reduoe this tariff to a revenue basis we will impose taxes for publlo purposes and not tor private gains or to enable some Individuals to accumulate private fortunes at the expense of others. "The government of tkfj United States requires a vast amount of revenue to carry on Its various operations. A less favored people oauld not meet the excessive drain that is made for the purpose of maintaining It It requires nearly eight dollars federal taxes imposed upon every man,'woman and ohlld In the United States for this purpose. This Is raised almost exclusively from consumption. There la a very small part of It that Is a tax upon the wealth of the oountry. "If a man owns 190,000,000 or 1100,0*0,000 worth ot property In the United States, aa some do, he pays only on what he ests, what ho drinks, what he wears and the other things he uses. The time has oome when this should be changed. I ask ot any reasonable person whether It Is unjust to expect that a small per oent. of this enormous revenue shall be plaoed upon the accumulated wealth of the country Instead of placing all upon the consumption of the country. "Is It not time that the great estates, whloh are proteoted by our army, whloh are defended by our navy, whloh are benefitted by the various operations of government, should contribute In some greater degree to carry on the government through whloh alone they ceuld havo been accumulated, or by which they are to be protected? "I know of no argument that Is at all conclusive or rational that oan be urged against this form of taxation. I believe that once it is Inaugurated It will only be a source from whloh to draw some of the vast revenue that we need, but also that the enaotment ot this law will Insure that lustloe whloh has so long been denied."

Other Arguments Pro and Con. Mr. McMillin was followed by Representative Ray (rep., N. Y.) who opened the debate for the republicans in opposition to the Income tax. He attributed the business depression to threatened tariff ohanges and contrasted a democratic policy on an income tax during the war and at present

Mr. Daniels (rep., N. Y.). called attention to the hostile attitude occupied by the democratic party toward the income tax for years, and quoted the words of great democratic leaders like Samuel J. Tilden in condemnation of It He proceeded with a careful argument against the income tax.

Messrs. Tarsney (dem., Mo.), Dinsmore (dem., Ark.), Williams (dem., Miss.) and Hall (dem., Mo.) spoke In favor of the Inoome tax measure. Mr. Covert (dem., N. Y.) spoke in opposition to it

COLORADO RECOVERING.

Senator Wnlcott Says Uu Outlook Is Better There— Senate Proceedings. WASHINSTON, Jan. 80.—In the senate Monday Senator Wolcott (rep., CoL) presented the memorial of the Colorado legislature, heretofore published, repudiating the propositions of Gov. Waite that the Colorado legislature has any power to legislate on the monetary question. In speaking on the resolution Senator Wolcott said "I ask that the resolutions may be read as bearing testimony to the faot that the people of Colorado stand or fall with the laws of the rest of the oountryi that they aooept the situation, painful and unfair as It may be and I •qey add to this memorial that although the silver Industry has been strloken uown prosperity Is returning to fu herders and Its oitlzens have found other chanaels of industry."

The resolution was read and referred. Senator Stewart (rep., Nev.) presented a resolution declaring that the secretary of the treasury la not authorized under the existing law to Issue and sell bonds. The Hawaiian resolution then went to the calendar and the federal election bill was taken up, and Senator Chandler (rep., N. H.) spoke in opposition.

The Vokes crossed the Atlsntlo ten tltres and their travels took them half over the world. It Is worthy of note that the pieces In which they appeared were for the most part written and Invented by themselves and many of the inoldents pre. sented were simply Illustrations of droll events and adventures that they bad met with during their travels.

TWENTY-SIX MEN DROWNED.

British Bark Stranded on tlie Coast of lrxlancf During Heavy Gala. LONDON, Jan. 80.—Twenty-six lives have been lost by the wrecking of the British bark Port arrock, Capt Forbes, from Santa Rosalie for Antwerp, which some days ago put into Brandon bay, County Kerry, Ireland, In a disabled condition, and which on Sunday, during a gale, dragged her anohor and went ashore. A very heavy sea was running in the bay, and when the bark atruok the surf made a oiean breach over her.

The bark struck almost broadside on, tnd the surf pounded her with terrific violence. As the tide rose the surf became stronger, and soon the sea was sweeping over the decks of the bark. First her three masts went by the board and the wreckage floating alongside caused the hull to keel over at a sharp angle, thus affording a better mark for the sea that was growing stronger and stronger. Boon butts and seams on the weather side began to open and in a short time the vessel began to break up. 3
