LONDON, Sept. 28.—The mavager of the London and Brazilian banks has received a cablegram from Rio Janeiro stating that one of the bank’s staff in that city was | Killed during the late bombardment by the | rebel warships. | The manager says that the bulk of pub- lished news regarding affairs in the Brazil- | lan capital is not belleved by merchants | ani others in London having interests in Brazil. The censors of the telegraph line will allow nothing but commercial tele- grams to pass, and consequently the al- leged dispatches purporting to give the de-| tails of the bombardment and defining the | Political situation are more than likely the | work of persons with irresponsible imagin- | ations who are located nowhere near Brazil. ‘The Exchange Telegraph Company, which is doubtful authority, says that England “regards the situation in Rio Janeiro with grave anxiety. The company says that the government has dispatched urgent cipher telegrams to Mr. G. Hugh Wyndham, Brit- ish minister to Brazil. ‘The officials discredit the reports that have been published with reference to the progress of events in Brazil. The officials of the Exchange Telegraph Company de- clare that the statement from Paris to the effect that Admiral Mello’s ships have been silenced by the forts was untrue. The forts’ supplies of ammunition are al most exhausted and they did not fire a shot during thé last bombardment of the city by the insurgent fleet. The officials further state that the last time the rebels fired on the city they ruined the custom house and the buildings in the vicinity. The latest dispatch the company has re- cetyed states that the bombardment has not been renewed. The fleet, however, is drawn up for action. The citizens of Rio Janeiro, the dispatch adds, are hoping for outside intervention to put an end. to the trouble. < ———— GONE TO HAWARDEN. tie Cheers Greeted Mr. Gind- stone When He Left Edinburgh. EDINBURGH, Sept. 28—Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone left here this morning en route | for Hawarden Castle, their home. Mr. Gladstone showed no signs whatever that the delivery of his speech last night had | had any ‘ll effect upon him. Enthusiastic crowds lined the streets from the hotel at which Mr. Gladstone stopped to the railway station, and his departure was marked by scenes similar to those that accompanied his arrival here yesterday. Commeniy on the Speech. LONDON, Sept. 23—The St. James Ga- zette, conservative, commenting this after- noon upon Mr. Gladstone's speech in Ed- | inburgh last nfght says that the prime (minister knows that the country is with the house of lords and he, therefore, does | not dare to raise the cry “down with the | house of lords,” or take up the challenge | they have deliberately thrown to him by rejecting the home rule bill. ‘The Globe, conservative, has an article of |a tenor similar to that published by the | St. James Gazette. |_The Pall Mall Gazette, conservative, says: | ‘The bottle? thunder has at length been | went to a room, placed himself before a_ uncorked and it turns out to be very flat.| mirror, took deliberate aim and blew bis That is all Mr. Gladstone has to offer in| the way of encouragement to the party that he has dracced through the mire to | hopeless impotence. | The Westminster Gazette, Mberal, urges the liberal party to proceed with good | strong mensures in the house of commons | nd a general stiffening of the New Castle | Program, with the motto “determination” | adopted by Mr. G | judicious, modera: | Speech. | The Star, adstone in his singularly | and even conservative | radical, says: “It ts doubtful whether the tory peers read political news. | the former mayors of Washington, the board | They therefore play unconscious of thelr | doom.

Alleged Attempt to “Hold Up” a 0. Express Train. CONNELLSVILLE, Va., Sept 28.—it Is re- Ported here that an attempt was made last night to hold up the midnight express on the Baltimore and Ohto railroad shortly after the train left McKeesport. The report is de ated by the officials of the company, but there was considerable ex- citement on the train when it arrived here half an hour late. One of the passengers satd that soon after the train pulled out from McKeesport and nd | had attained a good speed it was suddenly stopped. The trainmen rushed to the front and kept the passengers in the cars. it I= supposed that part of the band of train rob- bers failed to carry out their part in the work, and those who stopped the train made good their escape. ‘The train was filled with passengers returning from Chicago. In the express car was #62,00 in cash. ‘There is another rumor current here at noon that iast night's plans of the train robbers were foiled by the railroad officials, who heard of the scheme yesterday after- noon to hold up the train ut Eilrod station. Freight train No. 8 was went out as the first section of the express. ‘Ten or twelve officers were on board the freight train heavily armed. At Elrod the train was stopped and sidetracked. A xang of strange men were there, but left immediately after the arrival of the freight «a1 prior to the arrival of the express. The intention of the robbers seems to| have been to flag the engin-er, board the engine and compe! him to run about a mile beyond Eulrod, where confederates would have been in waiting to assist in robbing the express train. a FOUGHT AGAINST RESCUE. An Exciting Scene at a Hudson River Dock, NEW YORK, Sept. 28.—An exciting scene was witnessed ai the Vesey sireet dock this morning. Bella Konta, a German girl, who had jurped into the river, was rescued only after a hard fight by James Thomp- son, a deck hand on the steamer Holmdel. ‘Thompson was nearly exhausted, when the tide drove him near to a plank that had been thrown to him, and he seized it. The woman was taken to a hospital and will recover. a ee CHOLERA ABROAD. Four New Cases at Humburg and One at Lisbon, HAMBURG, Sept. 28—The steamer Hel- ella, bound from this port for Vera Cruz, has returned to Cuzhaven with sickness on board. She has been placed in quarantine. During the twenty-four hours ending at noon today four new cases of cholera and cne death have been reported to the author- ities here. LISBON, Sept. 28—A passenger who came to this port on board the steamer Bel- grado from Hamburg has died, presumably from Asiatic cholera, in the lazaretto here. —_.__ SILVER AND PROTECTION. Letter to the Senate Indorsed by Philadelphia Manufacturers. PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 28—A number of Philadelphia manufacturers have determin- ed to make an effort to protect their own interests by making an alliance with the friends of silver. To that end they have indorsed an open letter to the Senate ot the (nite States, written by Wharton Barker, which proposes a basis for the settlemeat of the silver question by which silver may be continued as a money metal. ‘The menufacturers who have inaugurated this mov ent do not attribute the present hard times to the Sherman law. They a sert tha tective feaiure of the tariff is to bs under- mined. They hold siven that the existing tariff laws would not be disturbed for tae next two years, business would take an immediate boom, mills would start in all parts of the country and employment would be given the thous- ands of idle workingmen. While holding these views they also belleve that it would be a mistake to demonetize silver. These manufacturers believe that in many respects | their interests are allied with the mine owners of the silver states. as A Sensational! Suicide. WHEELING, W. Va., Sept. 28.—Wm.

It also provides that the Sessments of corner lots and triangular squares shail be revised and the amount | paid in excess be refunded in draw back certificates.

Senator Harris today introduced a bill of the District cf Columbia to appoint a coroner office for four years at a salary of $1,500 per year. a medical examiner who shall be familiar with the medical science for the same term and the same salary.

Publication of the President's Letter Stiffened Prices. Special Dispatch to ‘The Evening Star. NEW YORK, Sept. 28.—President Cleve- land's letter to Gov, Ncrthen, published in the norning papers, produced consterna- tion among the bears and led to a sharp bidding up of prices ranging from 1-4 to 4 1-2 per cent. While no new views were expressed on the financial situation, con- siderable importance was attached to the emphatic reiadorsement of measures sug- gested at the time of convening Congress in extraordinary session. Considering that the President's attitude has never been doubtful and that he has made every ef- fort to secure legislation in accordance with his views, and thus far without success, it would seem that today’s advance was Prompted by too slight a cause to be more than temporary. ‘The immense short interest makes the market very sensitive to good news and one large operator is credited with covering more than 20,0W shures on the belief that the President's letter would clear the at- mosphere at Washington and hasten ac- | tion in the Senate. Londen was a trifle higher and bought about 10,00 shares, principally St. and Erie. The Bank of Engiand rate was left unchanged at 3 1-2 per cent. ‘The wansactlons throughout the day were of the market was ‘proven by the lull in business that followed the covering of the short contracts at the opening. Scerling continues firm, but it is under- stood that provision has been made for ex- tending some of the loans maturing next week, which may prevent gold exports. Sixty-day bills are quoted at 486 less 1-8, and signt 488 less 1-8. Private advices professing to contain as- surances of a speedy settiement of the sil- ver question were received at frequent in- tervals, and served to keep the sentiment of the room inclined toward tie bull side, but the volume of business remained un- changed. ‘The loan committee of the clearing house association canceled $1,020,000 certificates to- | day and called for $660,000 for retirement to- morrow, This reduces the outstanding to- tal to $26,263,000. ‘The regular clearing house business today is reported as follows: Exchanges, $74,609,- 49; balances, $4,355,725, and the sub-treasur- er’s debit balance, ‘$777,880. New England was conspicuously strong on prospects of securing an entrance, with good terminal facilities, in this city. Among the other prominent features of the day may be mentioned Manhattan, which scored an advance of 2 1-2 per cent, to 125 1-2. Bur- Mngton gained 2 1-4 per cent, to #1 3-4. Rock Island made a similar advance, to 4 1-2. Missouri Pacitic advanced 11-2 per cent, to | 231-2, and Western Union sold up 2 per cent ‘on covering, to &l. The last Four’s trading developed no new features and was dull in the neighborhood of last figures. Today's rally was clearly a matter of sentiment and leaves the market without further incentive and in the same helplesa position it has glways been since the Senate inaugurated ifs present policy.

A. Cook continuing his argument on behalf of Shea. After The Star’s report of the case closed yesterday Mr. Cook discussed the second ground of the petition, claiming that Shea | tion, contending that the prescribed pun- ishment made the offense an infamous one, ; and therefore required a formal indictment. |The information was attacked on the ground that it was general, falling to spe- | cifically designate the particular kind of liquors which Shea wes charged with sell- | Ing without 2 icense.

He then argued that the sentence imposed upon Shea was illegal, in that it imposed an additional imprisonment in de- feult of the fine. The act of March 3, 18%, jdid not authorize any such penalty.

The London Truth recently published a story, probably taken from ‘The Star, to the effect that the Sultan of Turkey had sent the President of the United States as a souvenir of the four hundredth anniversary of the discovery of America a gold medal mounted with diamonds and suitably in- | scribed in commemoration of the occasion. | The medal is a gorgeous affair, and is | valued at £2,000. As the President could not | well accept it as his private property, it was to be presented as a “state heirloom.” ‘The medal was handed to the President in per- son by Mavroyeni Bey, the Turk‘sh minis- ter, and The Star told all about It at the time, and the London Truth has evidently copied the iter Evidently Not Informed. Somebody has been playing a joke on the New York Sun, for in y. an article on this subject, it said: “But something hes gone wrong with | either the medal or Truth, for the President densn’t know anything «bout the sultan’s alleged gift. Mr. Thurber, the President’ secretary, assured a Sun reporter that ther is no truth in the story. Bui, agaia, Mr. L boucher, the editor 2nd proprietor of Truth, is usually very careful about what he prints in his noted paper, and ais facilities for learning of odd and inner happenings the world over are exceptional. It may be that the sultan really has his pared, and the news about it came direct to ‘Truth from Constantinople before the medal | started.

The Commissioners this morning re- ceived the following letter from residents | of B street northwest: Understanding that there are now pend- ling before you for consideration and re- port sundry bills granting the right of way to certain parties for street railroads along B street northwest between Ist street north- West and Ist street northeast we, the un- | dersigned property holders and resident taxpayers on said street, beg to suggest that the said B street northwest is en- | trely occupied by private residences; that | the granting of the right of way along | | Seid street would be simply ruinous to our | private property by decreasing its market- | able price, by utterly destroying the peace | and quietude of our homes and families; the necessary noise and the rattle and jar j of the cars would not only render the oc- cupation of our homes quite untenable, but would be a menace to health. | _B street northwest is one of the narrow- jest streets in the city as well as one | of the steepest.

House bill 2863 to authorize Mrs. Jean Lander to adopt Frederick Carl Lander, a British subject, came before the Comm:s- sioners recently for report. They submitted the bill to Attorney Thomas for his opinion before passing finally upon the matter. Today Attorney Thomas sent in his report, which says: “This bill is an extraordinary one. If it is supposed that its enactment by Congress would make Frederick Carl Lander the child and heir of Mrs. Jean Lander, or that it would make him a citizen of the United States, I think those who indulge in the belief are mistaken. Should the bill become a law, and Mrs. Lander should Fred. erick Carl Lander as her heir and chil should die intestate, he would not be her heir, nor be entitled to share in the dis- tribution of ner estate.
