Indu.l rial League’s Krqiiest Net Met Wltli Favor—On to Wa.hhiKton Crowd. Washington, March 14.—The wardepartment officials have had no request •or rations from any one connected with the Industrial league, which organization is said to be contemplating a raid In force on Washington and is said to hare made such request from Los Angeles. Cal. It may he safely predicted that no such requisition is likely to be honored if it is made. Of course the army of officers do not relish the threat that the capital is to be overrun by a horde of unemployed and hungry people, as it would add greatly to the burdens of the relief organizations here. But touching the implied threat of the trouble and disturbance in store for the town if the extraordinary demands of the fomenters of this Industrial league movement are not granted the army officers have no anxiety. Ever since the riots here in the 70’s the war department has realized the iiiiisirtaiice of having at hand a sufficient force to meet any emergency likely to arise, and it feels that there need be no fear of trouble from this last sensational movement. ; The suggestion is made jocularly that It i is believed the authorities can deal better with the Industrial league than with the office-seeking brigade.

PRESIDENT PEIXOTO. noon yesterday the government forts, as previously arranged, opened lire on the rebel fleet. The insurgents did not reply. and as this dispatch is sent the surrender of the rebel fleet is looked upon as only a question of a few hours. 1 iiHtirKeiits <iiv«* It I'p. The war is practically over and the cause of the insurgents is a lost one. There is much rejoicing in this city at the culmination of the struggle, which lias continued so many months with no result seemingly but to hamper business and destroy projicity. The rebel forces have surrendered unconditionally, almost without tiring a shot. The officers of the insurgent fleet have taken refuge on board French and Portuguese warshijis. One French vessel hns put to sea with many of the rebel officers on board. It is said that Admiral Da Gama is on board the British warship Sirius. When the fact became known that Admiral Da Gama had offered to capitulate, the government fleet entered the harbor quietly. As the vessels made their way up the bay they were saluted by the various government batteries. Detail* of tli«‘ Surrender. At 12 o'clock the liar fortress began firing on Fort Vallegaignon, being soon joined by government forces at Fort Armacao and Fort Gragoata. The fire was not returned by the insurgents. This continued until 8 o’clock, when all the city batteries were turned on the first named fort and the insurgent warship Tamandare. This lasted for an hour without damage, the insurgents continuing to husliand their auiiniinition, when the government fleet appeared off the harbor, the torpedo Iniat Aurora in the lead. Immediately the rebels hauled down the white ensign from a ship lying near Enchadas and hoisted a signal which was answered from shore. An insurgent officer then went from one vessel to another and each lowered the white flag. Soon after the flag was lowered at Fort Vallegaignon. At 5:45 the government fleet came up the bay, receiving a welcome from the anxious people on shore. Viva Peixoto. The greatest excitement prevails in the city. The streets are crowded and everywhere can lie heard the cry of “Viva Peixoto.” For the last two days the street* have lieen packed with jieople, and all the available trucks and carts have been busy carrying household goods and personal effects out of the city. The tramcars have been jammed until it was learned that the struggle was over. This was most joyful news to the people, who fully expected that a battle was at hand. There has been much suffering in the city. All business houses have been dosed and it has been very difficult to get food. The whole available [Kilice force has been on duty constantly, but there has been little disturbance. Almost the whole population is gathered in the center of the city. Probably 100,000 persons have left. Railroad transportation to the suburbs is free. The governermnent is feeding the poor. Great crowds had coUected on the hills with the expectation of witnessing a battle between the two forces. D* M.'llo Proven Falne. The insurgent warship Acquulabau is not in this harbor.

Washington, March 14.—The house committee on invalid pensions has ordered a favorable report on the bill or Representative Martin (Dem., Ind.t doing away with the requirement of honorable discharge as a preliminary to a jiension. In many cases death has occurred during a furlough or outside of military duties. In such cases no honorable discharge is in existence and the widow is cut off from securing a pension. The bill makes the death of a soldier equivalent to an honorable discharge, except when the death occurs during desertion. Sundry Civil Expenses, Washington, March 14.—The house yesterday began the consideration of the bill making appropriations for the sundry civil expenses of the government and fair progress was made.

to AboliMli the lloii*e of Lords*

London. March 14.—In the house of commons yesterday Mr. Labom here proposed as an amendment to the address in reply to the queen’s speech the abolition of the house of lords, and after i considerable excitement it carried, 117 to 145, in spite of government opixi-itio*. There was prolonged cheering, and wheri the division paper was handed Mr. La bouchere the Irish and Radical mem liars cheered with great enthusiasm. All the j ministers looked downcast, while Mr. i Baltour smiled ironically. Many of the Conservatives were absent at diuner

, when the division occurred.

The result of the division partook of the nature of a surprise, not only to the ^ government but to many of the Radicals who had voted in favor of the amendment. Several of the latter avow that their object was merely to give a good division against the house of lords. They j declare that they had no idea that there was any prospect of the amendment lieing carried. The action that will b taken by the government is a matter of conjecture. The prospect of the resigna tion of the cabinet has lieen a general , topic in the lobbies of the house of com i mons. It is expected that the cal line t will meet today to discuss the matter.

('ouiment In Washington.

Washington, March 14.—Many senators willingly turned from the silver debate to read London cables announcing the passage of the Labouchere amendment for the abolition of the house Of lords. All apiieared greatly interested. | Senator Davis of the committee on for1 eign relations was not one of these, how- ; ever. "It is," said he, “merely a regieJ tration of the sentiment which has lieen ripe for the past 25 years. The people have become tired of a body of hereditary lawmakers, and it looks as if this might be an important iKiint in an impending

Ten hardy young Norwegians, ambitious anil experienced in arctic exploration, will join the party in Norway, and the expedition will sail from Troinsoe, Norway, for the islands of Spitzbergen about the 1st of May.

That marvelous new metal, aluminium, has been utilized in the construction of sledges, boats and other apparatus, and thus equipped with far lighter paraphernalia than any previous explorer Mr. Wellman expects to be able to push on north at the rate of from 12 to 20 miles per day. As he will have ; only about 000 miles to travel before the j pole is reached, he expects to either ! reach that goal or a point very near it in 50 days. He will then return to the edge of the pack in 50 days more, his

March 14.—A special from Massillon to The Leader says: There is no truth whatever in the report that this city is already thronged with tramps who have come here to join the Coxey "on to Washington” army which departs from here on Easter Sunday, March 25. Mr. Coxey is doing all he can to prevent tramps and anarchists from assembling, and it is hoped he will succeed, but whether he can prevent their coming is a question. There is a possibility that tramps and plunderers will attempt to follow in the wake of the army, which has probably been the cause of the tramp story being circulated. Many letters are received daily from all pans of the country from persons who say they are getting up a company and will join here or somewhere along the route. Mr. Coxey says he does not care to start with many from here, but expects that each day new members
