Entire Lot.
Special to the Tribune.

bankers of New York will scoop them up
without any outside interferences. An
offer has been made the Secretary of the
Treasury by Harvey Fiske & Sous for
the entire issue of bonds. The price they
are willing to pay is 118. That they can
control the issue is not doubted and i<
is just what the New Yorkers wauted t<
get rid of their surplus which has been
hanging heavy on them for some time.

Special to The Tribune.
Atlanta, Jan. 20.—A private dispatch
received in the city from Rio Janeiro,
Brasil, says that the affairs of that state

IT IS A QUESTION.
Who Will Get the Insurance Money of Dr.
Richardson?
New York, Jan. 20. —At the funeral
of Dr. John P. Richardson, of No. 293
Broome street, three months ago, the
mourners noticed a thickly veiled little
woman who sobbed convulsively. Ev
ery one wondered who she was, but no
one could tell. She was even a stran
ger to the wife of the deceased.
Dr. Richardson was formerly a city
physician, a member of the John J.
O’Brien association, of the Comanche
club, and of the Tammany hall general
committee of the third assembly dis
trict. He was also a member of the
Emerald lodge of the Ancient Order of
United Workmen, of which he was the
physician. Who the little woman was
has just become known.
She claims to be the wife of Dr. Rich
ardson, having been married to him 22
years ago, and that she is the mother of
one of his children. Her legal repre
sentative called upon John Kenny, pres
ident of the Emerald lodge, the other
day, and demanded the $2,600 due the
widow of the doctor. President Kenny
was thunderstruck.
“Why,” he exclaimed, “I know Mrs.
Richardson well. She has four chil
dren.”
“But I was his legal wife,” said the
woman who accompanied the lawyer.
“We lived for years in Philadelphia,
but he deserted me, 1 still live in Phil
adelphia, but hearing of his insurance I
came here to get it.”
The money will be paid to the woman
who proves that she is his wife.

The sea was breaking over her, and it
was found necessary to abandon her.
The captain, with his wife and child
and the crew, took one boat, and loaded
it with several trunks containing per
sonal effects of Mr. and Mrs. Sewall,
who went in the mate’s boat, leaving
their baggage behind them. The mate’s

Senator Gray Subjected the
Witness to a Very Close
Examination.

Stevens has been before the subcommit
tee of the senate committee on foreign
relations nearly all the morning, and
has been examined particularly regard
ing the events leading up to and during
the revolution of a year ago. He said
that all the material points were given
in his communication to the state de
partment at that time.
Senator Gray, of Delaware, examined
Mr. Stevens very closely on points where
he has been charged by Commissioner
Blount with abetting the revolution.
Ex-Minister Stevens .stood by the
statements that he had previously mad<
and gave the committee no opportunit,
to show by his testimony that the United
States was in gny way responsible for
the revolution.
Mr. Stevens was emphatic in the dec
laration that the revolution would have
occurred in any event, that it was only
a question of time and that the queen by
trying to overthrow the constitution did
tone it at the particular time when it
occurred.
A NEW BATCH.
Correspondence on the Hawaiian Matter
Laid Before Congress.
Washington, Jan. 20.—The president
has laid before congress a new batch of
correspondence on the Hawaiin affairs
which includes a spicy correspondence
between Willis and Dole, in which Dole
reproaches the minister with his un
friendly course, and being asked after
wards to withdraw these imputations,
declines to withdraw any of the letter.
' The minister wrote back asking for
specifications.
“Up to this hour, Friday, Jan. 5, no
reply has been received to the request
nor have I any intimation when one may
be expected.
“My request for specification has been
in the hands of the minister of foreign
affairs since Monday, Jan. 1, at 0 o’clock.
I had hoped to receive an answer in
time to answer by the steamer Pekin,
leaving today at 2 o’clock.
“Especially as Thurston and Mr.
Hatch, late vice president of the provin
cial government, leave tomorrow on the
Australia for the United States, this
delay in answering is a matter of great
surprise and regret.”
House on Tariff.
Washington, Jan. 20.—The house, at
11:17, resolved itself into a committee of
the whole to consider the Wilson bill,
after an agreement had been reached
limiting debate on the pending amend
ment substituting the present law for
the agricultural section of the Wilson
bill. An agreement has been reached in
the house whereby three hours were to
be given to the consideration of the coal
schedule and three to the iron ore sched
ule next Tuesday.
The amendment proposed by Mr. Hen
derson substituting the existing law for
the agricultural schedule of the Wilson
bill, was defeated by a vote of 63 in the
affirmative and 116 in the negative.
Messrs. Mcßae and Dockery offered
amendments* to the sugar schedule
which is to be considered next week. Both
amendments are similar in the provision
and strike out the clause in the Wilson
bill providing for a gradual reduction of
the bounty on sugar. Instead the bounty
is to be wiped out at one sweep and su
gar be made absolutely free.
A Veto Sent in.
Washington, Jan. 20.—Mr. Pruden,
one of the president’s secretaries ap
peared in the house at 12 m. with the

Washington, Jan. 20.—Parties to
both sides of the labor troubles at Key
West, Fla., have arrived here, and have
been in’conference during the day with

REBELS ARE ROUTED.
The Brazilian War Ha* Taken a Turn in
Favor of Peixoto. ■
New York, Jan. 20.—The Herald has
received the following cable despatch
from President Peixoto, of Brazil,
through his minister of foreign affairs:
The government has read a telegram
saying that the rebel troops in Rio
Grande Do Sul are fleeing from the seige
of Bage, and have now been driven by
the pursuing loyal forces of Brazil to the
boundary line of Uraguay.
Uraguay troops will not allow the
fugitives to enter their neutrual terri
tory, and thus the rebels are badly
hemmed in. The inevitable result will
be their surrender or the slaughter of
them all, as they are destitute of horses
or provisions. An attempt has been
made by the rebel fleet in Rio harbor to
land a body of men from the Nicetheroy
on shore, but it met with a vigorous re
pulse from the government troops.
HORN BLOWER - HOPELESS.
Hix Friend. Will Never Get the Vote
Reconsidered in the Senate.
Washington, Jan. 20.—The move
ment to reverse the action of the senate
on the nomination of Hornblower, which
was started by several senators, went to
pieces, and a reconsideration of the vote
by which it was rejected is now impos
sible. The ab indoment of the plan, it i
understood, was due to the failure mi
cne parr or ms mends to induce senator
Carey to change his. vote.
Senator Hill’s activity in tho Horn
blower matter has exposed him to much
criticism. His enemies charge that
through “Joe” Manley, who was here a
week or so ago, he made an agresment
with the Republican senators to vote for
certain changes in the Wilson bill i
they would vote against Mr. Horn
blower. His enemies go even to the ex
treme of alleging that he promised to
deliver in return for Republican support
enough Democratic votes to defeat the
bill.
These rumors are being circulated
with mysterious winks and nods, but no
one can be found who will give any au
thority for the charges. Senator Hill’s
friends are indignant. They say that it
is absurd to-claim that the Democratic
senators who voted to reject the nomina
tion of Mr. Hornblower would vote to
carry out any such pledge as Mr. Hill is
charged with having given.
ALL LIABILITIES
And No Assets, Seems to Be the Fix They
Are In. r
Chicago, Jan. 20. —Liabilities, $55,-
000,000; assets, $4lO. This epitome of
the report of Receiver T. J. Hurley, of
the Guarantee Investment company,

umes about the nature of the concern

fraud. 1

bilities were $'>5,000,000 —that is, there
were 55,000,000 bonds outstanding. To
pay off these bonds the receiver found
$449 in cash and 75 cents in mutilated
coin.
He also found a quantity of office fur
niture, which he expected might be
turned into money for the benefit of
creditors, but Mr. Hurley was dumb
founded to receive within half an hour
after he had left his report a notice in
forming him that every stick of furni
ture was mortgaged to Austin & Co.,
private bankers.

INCREASED TRADE.
Bradstreet’s Report Shows
Improvement.
COTTON PRICES ARE DOWN
Trade Conditions at Most of the
Centers Show Satisfactory
Signs of Improvement-
New York, Jan. 20. —Bradstreet’s re
port of trade for the week says: Spe
cial telegrams from many of the more
important cities, based on interviews in
leading lines of trade, make it plain that
the improvement reported a week ago.
characterizing the turn in the tide, has
been retained arid adefbd to. Exceptions
are noted at some of the larger eastern
manufacturing centers. Pittsburg is
more hopeful, but while retailers have
increased purchases, there is little gain
in iron or steel. Philadelphia empha
sizes further cessations in prices in wool,
but there are contradictory reports as to
the manufactured product. Attention
is directed to the taking of iron and
steel contracts by competing western
concerns at “ruinous prices,” although
it is admitted trade in drugs, paints and
glass is much improved. Cotton goods
have a better tone, and prints and wash
fabrics are in fair sale, as are shirtings,
Which are reduced to 3 3-4 cents.
A better feeling at Buffalo is based
merely on the approach to better trade,
although orders for dry goods and gro
ceries are more liberal.
Receipts of cotton have continued suf
ficiently free to render it improbable
that the lowest cotton estimates will
prove correct, and prices have weakened
accordingly.
Trade conditions at Cincinnati have
improved with manufacturers and job
bers in merchandise. There are gains
in iron and other manufacturing lines at
Chicago, and at Detroit sales of dry
goods have increased, travelers receiving
fair orders for spring goods. A better
feeling is prevalent at Louisville, as well
as actual gains. At St. Louis the de
mand for groceries, dry goods, shoes and
hats has increased, as has orders for fin
ished iron and steel, the latter being
equal to in.any preceding January.
Spring trade has opened, fairly well at
Kansas City, ’hough smalFe. ■ ■volume
than a year ago, and at Minneapolis,
while industrial lines show no improve
ment, that in jobbing circles is empha
sized.
Commercial travelers have been sent
out by jobbing houses at almost all tne
larger distributing points, but commer
cial conditions are irregular, showing
relatively greatest improvement in the ,
southeastern, contral and western and
northwestern portions of the country.
Unexpected’y free receipts of wheat l i
the United States and r naturally heavy
increase in Australia surprised the trade
with a larger gain of available stock
than anticipated, and prices have re
acted. Exports of wheat from the
United States and Canada, both coasts,
flour included, amount to 3,332,000 bush
els this week, 40 per cent more than last
week, and about one-tenth smaller than
the week ago.
There are only 404 failures reported
this week, against 484 last week, 290 a
year ago.
The increased demand for sugar has
advanced the price of Eot.h raw and re
fined 1-8 cent. The trade at Nashville
starts out in reduced volume, though
jobbers express express themselves fair
ly well satisfied. Even Memphis reports
larger sales of groceries and plantation
supplies than anticipated, but at Mobile,
Birmingham, New Orleans and Galves
ton, no gains are reported. Very mild
weather at Omaha has checked trade
there. Collections are slow and the
price of hogs is off 10 cents. While
there is a better feeling at Milwaukee,
due largely to a bank resumption, im
provement in demand for staples is
slow. Toronto reports a quiet trade
this week, and iron prices irregular,
“with disruption in the association.”
Tiie volume of trade at Montreal is
small, and manufacturers report no spe
cial activity, some mills being temporar
ily closed.
THREATENLDTHE MAYOR.
The Anti - Catholic Sentiment Causing
Trouble In the West.
Omaha, Jan. 20.—Roundsman Charles
Bloom, one of the best known and most
efficient officers in the city and the re
cognized head of the anti-Uatholio cir
cle in Iris district, handed in his resigna
tion, being charged with writing a letter
to Mayor Bemis, in which the lives of
the mayor, the chiet of police and Re
publican National Committeeman Rose
water were threatened. The letter was
signed, “Guiteau Prendergast.” and the
writer declared that he would kill the
mayor if certain things were not done.
The matter was kept quiet for a day
or two, and then it was referred to the
chief of police. The result was that the
chief preferred charges against Officer
Bloom. He was taken before a meeting
of the commissioners and required to
write the letter as it was dictated to him
by a member of the board. Not only
was the handwriting found to be identi
cal, but the same words were misspelled
in both letters.
Some time ago the chief of police or
dered all of the force to desist from
mixing in politics. This was deemed to
be necessary in view of the activity of
American Protective association mem
bers on one side and the Catholics on the
other. Bloom is said to be a member of
tho American Protective association.
Stoned This Lecturer.
Milwaukee, Jan. 20.—W. A. Sims,
the American Protective association lec
turer, was stoned by a mob at Kaukauna,
Wis. The mob got beyond the control
of the police, and Governor Peck was
called on for troops. During the lecture
■tones ware thrown through the win-
dows ana several persons were nun. At
the close Sims demanded the protectiod
of the police. The crowd at the stairs
learned where he was going and fol
lowed, arriving at the bridge by a differ
ennt route almost at the same time that
Sims did.
Another demonstration was made, but
the officers held the bridge against the
mob, and all they could do was to throw
stones and other missies at the lecturer
as he ran across the bridge.
Wants the Lecturer Arrested.
Kansas City, Jan. 20.—A subpoena
has been issued for J. V. McNamara,
the ex-Catholic priest, to whose lecture
last Tuesday night the riot at Turner
hall was largely due. The complainant
is J. F. Mullin, whose arrest McNamara
caused in the hall the night of the lec
ture because he w'as said to have called
the ex-priest a liar. It is believed that
McNamara has left the city.
A POSSIBLE LAWSUIT.
Mrs. Inland Stanford Calls on C. P. Hunt
ington for Cash.
San Francisco, Jan. 20.—The possi
bility of a sensational suit by Mrs. Le
land Stanford against Callis P. Hunting
ton is rapidly approaching a certainty.
Mrs. Stanford asserts that “she is pro
ceeding with due diligence to obtain the
possession of over $3,000,000 worth of
stocks and bonds.
This “due diligence’’ means that a
formal demand has been made by letter
upon Mr. C. P. Huntington for the sur
render of these stocks and bonds. To
this demand no answer has been re
ceived. If the ans wer should be a re
fusal a suit will probably be brought
by Mrs. Stanford for the securities and
for an accounting, as well as big dam
ages.
Everybody has supposed that Stanford
was worth from $50,000 000 to $100,000,-
000, but the completed inventory of his
estate, showing it to De less than $20,-
OOq.OOO creates a surprise.
UlACiisnuTgm oTn uio w e rTmccenor,
Rochester, Jan. 20.—The rejection
by the senate of the nomination of Mr.
Hornblower for associate justice of the
supreme court, has revived the hopes of
the friends of Theodore Bacon, and they
are again pressing his claims. Before
Mr. Hornblower was nominated, Mr.
Bacon’s name was discussed, and nearly
all the papers of Rochester and western
New York united in his support. Mr.
Bacon is a mugwump, having left the
Republican party in 1880 to support Mr.
Cleveland, but he is not an active par
tisan. He is a member of ths law firm
of Bacon, Briggs, Beckley & Bissell, of
this city.
Wool Growers Called Together.
Denver, Jan. 20.—Governor Waite
. has issued a call for an interstate con
vention of wool growers, to be held in
Denver, Feb. 5, to take action on that
portion of the Wilson bill relating to the

point 10 delegates. When such associa
tions do not exist, the board of county
commissioners is requested to appoint
five delegates. All the states interested
