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.

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.

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.
