IBOgT OF THE WAR
The Brazilian revolution, which thii
action of Admiral Da Gains will in all
probability bring to a close, began on
the night of September 5. 1898, when
Admiral de Melio attempted to repeit
the coup da main by wnioh he had
driven President da Fonaeca from
power. While the high government
officials were at the opera he seized all
the brezilian war vessels in the harbor
of Rio de Janeiro and demanded
President Peixoto's resigned in, Mello
tbongbt the President would abdicate
without a straggle, but, instead, he
immediately began preparations to
bring the rebels to termi. Congress
backed up President Peixito. Al
though tne rebels had the Seat, con
sisting of twenty-.'our battleships, tor
pedo boats and armored coasting steam
ers, the principal forts which formed
defences of the harbor of Rio remained
lov.il.
Mello, on Sept. JO sent an ultitna
tnm to the citzens of Rio. He declar
ed tbat if thy did not surrender the
city at once bo would recommence the
bombardment and level it to the
ground. No attention was paid to this
communication, an t on Sept 24 th,
ships reopened fire. The bombard
ment lasted all day sad was continued
the next and the next.
A reian of terror followed, Banks
snd business places were stint up. and
them was a great rush for the country.
No attempt was made by the insurgents
to destroy the city, but in the fire that
was aimed at the various governme&t
buildinga vaataarnxge was done in ev
ery part of the eity. Bursting shells
carried destruction into th streets, end
many hundreds were killed and
wounded. Discontent was general in
the city, and Mello was counting on a
popular uprising in his interest as n
zonserjusnce of the bombardment.
At'MIRAL HKXHAMM FAMOUS Ai.'TIO.V.
On Jan. 29 Admiral Bnnam fired a
shot at an Insurgent warship in de
fence of American rights The trouble
was brought about by the American
vessels the Amy and Glad Tidings, botn
of which were laden with otrg 90S con
signed to Rio merchants, and neither
thought it advisable to approach the
docks without assurance of protection,
So tbev called on Admiral Benham.
who ordered the commander of the De
troit to clear bis ship for action and
escort the vessels to the dock.
The entire fl'et was pnt In readiness
for a fight. As soon as tbeBraslllans
noticed that the Amy and the Glad
Tidings were made fast at the docks,
the Triijano fired a musket shot aero.s
the bow of the Amy. The Detroit fired
a 6-ponnd shot under the bow of the
Brazilian vessel. The officers of the
TraJanO were surprised, but they fired
an npologetic blank cartridge, and the
incident ended with the hailing of the
I'rajano by Captain Brownson, of the
Detroit, who warned the Trojann's cap
'.ain to instruct his men to be cnrful
ibont the direction in which they fired
their innskets.

Paris, March 18 -Jean Baptiste
Bourgeois, radical deputy for the Dole
district ot Jura, spoke at length in the
chamber today in favor of his proposal
to revise the constitution. He urged
with speoial earnestness that the sen
ate be deprived of its power of ultimate
veto. He wa interrupted frequently
with applause and hostile cries.
Ex-Premier Goblet, Radical-Socialist
for the First district ot Paris, supported
Bourgeois. He violently attacked the
government for its administration of
the police and its readiness to ignore
all great national issues while dealing
with some passing emergency. All sen
sible men. he said, had grown tired of
goveramjnt by policy. The people had
been weari-'d and disgusted by the
eternal dnel between dynamite and
guillotine, which was allow.' 1 to crowd
into the background the ulfairs ot the
nation.
U Goblet said tnat the senate's posi
tion was anomalous. It was nabear
able that an aseinbly elected by lim
ited suffrage, as was the senate, snoald
be allowed to check an assembly elect
ed by universal suffrage, as was the
chancer of deputies. M. Goblet spoke
of the agitation in England against
the house of lords as an instance of the
popular dniaud which every country
mnst sooner or later grant. "There is
the lesion for France, " h exclaimed.
Tn Englanl the ministry Itself is giv
ing the signal for revolt against this
reactionary abuse."

Washington, March 19
SI' I'll a gathering of lawyers as
tille.l the circuit court where the
Pollard-Breckinrldge case is en
trial this morning has seldom
twen seen in Washington, .Members
of the local bar crow led the plaOl) to
set what sent ence Judge Bradley would
mete out to the visiting Kenttickians
who had made n pugilistic assault
upon Mns Poll ifd's attorneys the night
before.
Within the recollection of the court
officials there he'd been no instance of
S resort to tUtlOttffs bv practitioners
before the local bar, mid the sentiment
of lawyers was for a strong punishment
of their brethren who had ho disturbed
the dignity of the court.
Colonel Breckenndge, smiling ns us
ual, was shaking hands with his cousin,
Joseph Brsekenndgs, when Judge
Bradley took hie seat on the bench
There was a moment of silence follow
ing the roll call of jurors, the judge
Seeming to watt lor explanations from
th lawyers
Then he said "I notice the papers
have laid out a course of procedure for
m to follow regarding an occurrence
just ontside th court room after the
conrt hal adj mrned yesterday even
ing, which th conrt did not see, and
which the parties concerned iu it prop
atdy regret as much as the court does
It is not a matter of which th court can
take judicial notice, As it was past
the hour for adjournment when the
plaintiff's counsel had finished
speaklug last night, and us 1
noticed some evidences of excitement
on the part of the defendant's
counsel. I thought it best to adjourn
the court, thinking that alter u night
of thought over the connection in
which certain words hal been used the
counsel might look upon them differ
ently, dad the trouble referred to
taken plsos in court it would have been
the duty of the court to take judicial
notice of it, and he would have done
so promptly."
there wus a pause and a rustle of
surprise, after which Jndga Bradley
proceeded.
ABOUT CORCBALU W KAPOKS
"There is another matter about which
I deem it my duty to speak. Tne court
has received information that some of
the gentlemen representing the defend
ant have come into the courtroom
armed. There is a law for the punish
ment of the offense of carrying con
reeled weapons, not ns Stringent as 1
wieh It Was. this is a law -abiding
.oiumnnity, the courts are adequate to
protect citizens, and as such conduct is
uncalled for, it is molt reprehensible
If the court has information adtqnate
lie will see that prosecution is beguu in
the police court of the District."
After tne counsel on either side had
vigorously denied that thy were arm
