Sener Pimental, the liberal conservative leader, voted with the minority at the meeting of the coancil when the demands of England were acceded to. The minority were favor of evacuating the Shire district, but — opposed the other demands made by Buglna unless that country submitted the dispute to arbitration forthwith. There is much excitement in the city, Crowds varaded the eeta last night crying “Viva Pinto” and “Viva Portugal.” — GOV. CAMPBELL INAUGURATED. Speaks Out Plainly in Favor of the Australian Ballot. Cotvuevs, Onto, Jan, 13.—Governor-elect J. E. Campbell took the oath of office today at noon. His message to the general assembly is comparatively brief and touches upon a num- ber of subject of state and local interest. He recommends that home rule be restored to all the cities as speedily as possible, and enters into detail as to the needs at Cincmnati. He strongly commends the system of ballot reform, commonly called the Australian system, and sketches briefly the successes with which it has met in other coun- tried and states, The argument that it would bea hardship to illiterate voters is substan- tially answered and the conclusion reached that public sentiment is not educated to the point and any attempt to enact such a law now would prove futile, On question of cheaper school books the governor says: ‘Popular education is the foundation of freedom and prosperity. Knowl- edge should be furnished at the lowest possi- ble cost. The state builds school houses, pre vides teachers and controls every detail of education save the furnishing of books, Is there any sound reason why it should not as- sume this function also? Recent experience in the state of Indiana shows ostensibly that school books equal those in use here are de- livered to the children of that state at 35 to 50 er cent of their former cost. Other states Fave tried the experiment with sperent suc- cess. It seems to be an assured fact that school books can be furnished either by direct publication by the state or by con- tract on behalf of the state at less than present prices. It not necessary to inveigh against capital for monopolizing this form of publication. It is sufficient to as- certain whether books can be furnished more cheaply by the state without involving it in material expertise or liability. If this can be proven then it becomes your duty to cheapen school books. He favors the abolition of the office of com- ioner of railroads and telegraphs and thinks the duties could be better performed by a railroad commission, provided there is any necessity for the state supervision of railroads.

It Promises to be Very Lively Uniess the Committee's Code is Modified. ‘The fight over the rules of the House Promises to be even more interesting than has been heretofore anticipated. A meeting of the committee on rules is expected to be held to- morrow, but the democratic members will probably not attend. ‘Mr. Carlisle was given « copy of the proposed new code yesterdhy and after reading it said that the minority would not agree to the prop- Ositions; that it was useless for them to at- tempt anything in the® committee and that they would make their fight on the floor of the House, A considerable opposition to the more radi- eal propositions in Mr, Reed’s plan has devel- oped on the republican side, and it looks as if & modification would have to be made or else the code will be rejected by the House. It is said that some modifications of the original plan have been made already by Mr. Reed. THE FEATURES MR. CARLISLE OBJECTS TO especially are the provisions that a motion to go into committee of the whole to consider any measure shall not be recognized unless made with the approval of the committee havi: charge ofthe measure; t! legislation may po put on appropriation bills; the restoration of the old mormng hour, and the omission of pod vision for motion to take recess or to urn over to a day set.

Other republicans are opposed on genernl principles to the adoption of rules which they would not be willing to abide by should they fall into the minority in the future.’ These members, and there are a number of them, insist that a conservative course should be followed and that the radical features shall be stficken from the code.

THE CAPTIVE APACHES. Secretary Proctor Favors Putting Ge- ronimo and His Band on a Reservation. Secretary Proctor has for several months been giving earnest consideration to the ameli- oration of the condition of the Apache pris- oners of war at Mt. Vernon Barracks, Ala., since Geronimo and his band surrendered to Gen. Miles. Today he submitted his conclusions to the President in two alternative suggestions, one the purchase of a tract of land in the mountainous region of western North Caro- June or oue of the adjacent states, the ether that the consent of Congress be requested for their transfer to some point in the Indian territory, proposing, if such transfer be authorized, to locate them at Fort ill, temporarily, with a view to their final settlement on the Kiowa, Comanche and Apache reservations, if satis- factory negotiations cap be consummated with those confederated tribes. The latter sugges- tion bas the approval of the Secretary of War and he recommends its adoption, IX HARMONY WITH THE VIEWS OF GEN. CROOK. This is in harmony with the views of Major General Crook and Lieut. Guy Howard, who, under the instructions of the Secretary of War, have recently visited the prisoners. The band now numbers 460. Two are in confinement at Governor's Island, 70 at the Carlisle school and 309 women and children and 79 men are at Mt. Vernon. : Thirty of these men only are able-bodied, 25 are able to do more or less work and the rest are old or crippled. Notall of them were hostile, some of them having been in the army as scouts, in which they rendered valuable and loyal service, Banishment and imprisonment have been their reward, These Indians have had all desire for war taken out of them and now only desire a homee in some locality wheres they can find @ more healthy climate and learn the ways of the white man, a FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, New York Stock Market.

Johnson alling the attention of the Commissioners to | the condition of 7th street wost betwoen B north and B south was referred to Capt. Rus- | sell, who reported today as follows: “The com- | plaint herewith of Mr. Johnson of the shameful | condition of 7th street west between B street | north and B street south | do not think is well founded, The old Belgian block vement heretofore existing on this street has been torn up for sewers, gas mains and for Iay- ing the cable railroad, so that ite condition was almost that of an unpaved street. The engineer department has taken up the whole surface of the street outside of the part for which the streetrailroad is respoumble and relaid it, and the street is now in better condition than it has been ina longtime. The complaints thut have been handed in by differ- ent parties living on this street refer, Ibelieve, entirely to two statements. First, that this pavement is not as gogd as that laid on the portion of 7th street north of Pennsylvania avenue. The reason for this that the ortion of 7th street above Pennsylvania avenue was paved with granite block pavement, tar being used in the joints to make ita first-class grauite pavement. The part complained of is an old Belgian block pavement, and is relaid with the same blocké and in the same manner that it existed before. No change could have been made in this pave- ment without greatly increasing the expense, and it would be a question for Congress to de- termine whether ‘ eaese appropriate for uch a change. ‘The second complaint is ; that the covering over the granite block pave- ment of earth causes the street to be mu Aen wet ther and dusty in dry weather, borne people ! until this earth hashad achanee to work well | State of affairs must be by the | into the joints of the block pavement. | For the above.resous I think that no complaint this pavement.” | is just.on .

In an interview in the Philadelphia Times David Purcell, brother of the young woman charged with the murder of Mrs. Kniffen at Trenton, says: “We will sell our farms and use every cent we have in the world, if necessary, in order to prove her innocence.” “Yes,” interrupted his younger brother, Wm. Purcell, with a sudden outburst of feeling, “if we have to use the pick and shovel on yonder railroad to do it.” “What is your theory of the murder?” “That of burglary,” was the answer of David. “Have you any evidence to substantiate such a belief?” “We have. We have conclusive evidence of it, We have traced them into the house. We have found that the shutters over the refriger- ator have been forced open and the eutrance to have been effected by that way. In the house wo have traced them to the second floor. In the sitting room the seat of a chair has been broken by an attempt to light the gas, This shows that the man was heavy, The imprint made in the seat is found to tally with foot- prints elsewhere. All the other evidence is minor details entirely in the knowledge of the detectives.” “Have you suspicion of any particular men?” “Yes; we have found that a negro—and we have strong evidence as to who he is—was watching the outside of the house while the burglars were at work. We think that we have the robbers. At any rate the evidence ix very strong against them. We huve them spotted and their movements watched closely every hour. A very interesting feature about it ‘is that they are not professional crooks. They are not well known in any way.” In an opinion as to the cause of the death of Mrs, Kniffen Mr. Purcell sail: “Iam as in- clined to believe that she was as much fright- | ened to death as to say it was due to the effects of chloroform, A bold attack in the middle of the night with no protection will give enough fright to cause death to any one subject to heart failure. How do we know then that the effects of the chloroform did it? Itis only con- jectare at best.” Miss Purcell was also interviewed and said: tae hardly tell you that the past week has becn one'of terrible torture to me. To be subjected to the gaze of thousands under the accusation of having murdered a near and dear cousin is almost too cruel to bear, And then think what a blow it has been to my aged mother and brothers and sisters!” she added, her eyes seeming ready to fill with tears, “You deny the accusation?” The answer was given with frankness, The face was honest, open and truthful, “What were your relations with Mrs, “Myra and I were more like sisters than cousitis, so ¢lose was the bond between us. I loved her ag such and know that the love was reciprocal, There was nothing that I would not do for her, nor was there anything that she would not do for me. We never quarreled. Our natures were thoroughly in accord. She pped a lovable disposition and ali who knew her were drawn toward her.” “What have you to say in answer to the charge of improper intimacy with Dr. Kuiffen?” “It is false.” was the quick, indignant and emphatic reply, “Such a charge is groundless, Dr. Kniffen loved his wife with all bis heart. ‘The greatest of nffection was shown each toward the other. Their life was what that of a man and wife should be—a model one. Dr. Kniffen § uot an openly affectionate husband, He showed his love toward his wife in many pleasant little nets,” “He eles often walked with you toward the place where you worked?” “Yes, it was on his way to his stable. After eating he would often wait for mo, saying that he was going to the stables and would accom- pany me on my way that far. This was done out of politeness and civility. Wouldn't you consider it rather impolite,” she asked, with a avg “if he had not done so& I think you would.” i see PORTUGAL BACKS DOWN.

Mr. Glynn Petre, the English minister, on Saturday imparted to Senor Gomes, Portugal's minister of foreign affairs, England's ultima- tum demanding the recall of the Portuguese forces, officials and expeditions of every kind from the banks of the Shire beyond the confiu- ence of the Ruo, and south the Zambezi and from Mashonaland, If Portugal failed to reply board the Enchantress and await wreply.

In the Criminal Court today in the case of John O. Cantwell Chief Justice Bingham passed wentence. Cantwell, ® young man, was con- victed last week of obtaining money ($2) by false pretertses, representing that he was the steward of the HotelArno. Mr. Albert Sellers, his counsel, stated that the accused had some months since commenced to drink, and asked for the sake of his tamily that the sentence be light.
