The Gentleman Nominated to Be As- sistant Secretary of State. Edwin F. Uhl of Grand Rapids, Mich., the new first assistant secretary of state, is one of the most prominent lawyers of Michi- gan, and one of the most able. He was born in New York state in 1841, and with his parents came to Michigan in 1844. He was brought up on a farm near Ypsilanti, received his education in the common schools, with a finishing course at the state university. He began the practice of law at Ypsilanti, and in 1866 moved to Grand Rapids, where he has since lived. He is a brilliant orator, and in convention and on the stump in the last campaign was an earnest supporter of Cleveland. He was per cent discount on andirons and other fireplace Sstures. J. H.

Mr, Uhl has twice been elected mayor of Grand Rapids by the largest plu- ralities ever given a candidate in that city. He has several times declined nominations for Congress. —_——__-o+—___. Largest Range Light. The largest range light in the world will shortly be erected on the site of the Waackaack beacon, just east of Sandy Hook, N. J. The powerful lens for it is of French make, and was purchased by the government recently for $12,000. It stands six feet high, is three feet in diameter, and is made of the finest glass known for con- centrating rays of light in one path. Since the opening of the Chicago fair it has been on exhibition with the light house display, and has attracted much attention. When first placed on exhibition a small light was put in it, but the rays were so powerful as to almost blind spectators, so it nad to be shown without a light. The lens will be placed on the present structure of Waackaack beacon, and will be just to the rear of the Point Comfort beacon. The lights are to be taken for bearings by mariners entering the main ship channel after rounding Sandy Hook bound in. The shaft of light the new bea- con will throw will be equal to that of a search light. —————_-e-___ New Paying Burea’ Several hundred census employes received their monthly payment yesterday at the disbursing office of the Interior Depart- ment proper.

A curious freak of nature was found by Mr. Jacob Beck on his farm near Benning in the shape of a sweet potato which was dug up with others, but which differed from its fellows in being almost a perfect repre- sentation of a snake coiled. The coils were distinct from one another, and the shape of the head was clearly outlined as well as of the tail. It is a mystery how the potato came to grow in the particular form. It has been suggested that probably it grew in a nest once occupied by a snake. The potato is now exhibited in a store window on the avenue. ARRIVAL OF WEEKS. The New York Embezzler Landed at New Orleans. END OF A MANY MONTHS CONTEST. He Will Plead Guilty When Ar- raigned AND WILL ASK FOR MERCY. NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 1.—It was 3 o'clock this morning when the steamer Foxhall reached her wharf, having on board the New York embezzler, Francis H. Weeks, whose defalcation, flight and battle against extradition have so excited public interest for the past few weeks. Her arrival had been expected all day, and even at that hour there were many people at the wharf to meet her. A large force of police awaited the arrival of the boat and would not allow any one to go near, carefully watching every one coming. By orders of the captain no one was al- lowed on board of the ship, even the crew, when disembarking, being submitted to a rigid examination, and they had to prove their identity so as to avoid any possibility of escape. The captain said that Weeks might possibly have obtained the disguise of a seaman and attempt to get away in the rush when the disembarkation occurred hence these extra precautions. The captain manifested this caution because Weeks was still in his charge, not having been turned over to Detective Reilly, who accompanied him from Port Limon. It seems that the government of Costa Rica, instead of giving Weeks into the cus- tody of Reilly, turned him over to Capt. George Leslie of the Foxhall, who gave a receipt for him. This morning Capt. Leslie turned Weeks over to Detective Reilly, who will take him to New York by evening train. Mrs. Weeks is with her husband, and is deepiy affected by his misfortune. Weeks does not desire to see any newspaper men, and requests the detectives to keep report- ers away from him. However, one saw him, and to him he said that when he got to New York he intended to plead guilty and throw himself on the mercy of the court. Weeks was taken to the St. Charles Hotel by the detective and locked up, await- ing train time. —_- MELLO IN A TRAP. The Rebel Admiral Likely to Be Caught by Brazil's New Fleet. NEW YORK, Nov. 1.—The Herald's Rio special says: The prevailing opinion is that Admiral Meilo is likely to be caught like a rat in a trap in the bay of Rio Janeiro, if the powerful fleet which Peixoto is gathering from far and near arrives before Mello gains a decisive victory. It is alleged that Peixoto'’s naval squad- ron will rendezvous first in the harbor of Montevideo. It will be composed of the Riachuelo, the Benjamin Constant and the torpedo boat coming from Europe, El Cid, the sister of El Rio, the Feissen, the famous destroyer, and other torpedo boats from New York and the Tiradentes, Baria, Santos,* Des- terro and lesser boats of Brazil's original navy, which have not joined Mello’s re- volt. ‘They will then sail north altogether and engage in a fight with Mello’s fleet to the death. It is reported that the insurgent admiral has seized a cargo of food from an Argen- tina steamer in the harbor of Rio. A formal protest against this action has been enter- ed by the Argentina consul. Mello to Take Decisive Action. LONDON, Nov. 1.—The Times has the fol- lowing advices from Rio de Janeiro under date of October 27: The armed steamer Urano, while leaving Rio on October 15, was hit by a shell and badly damaged. She has arrived at Desterro and reports that forty of her crew were killed. The insurgents have plenty of munitions of war. Decisive action by Admiral Mello is expected shortly. The government is mounting guns on the city batteries. The Republica rammed the transport Rio de Janeiro which was conveying 1,100 troops to Santos, and 500 of the troops were drown- ed. Admiral Mello confirms the truth of this report. He denies that he has any direct intention of restoring the empire. He wishes to be recognized as a belliger- ent by the foreign powers. He expects that the warships Riachuelo and Benjamin Constant will join the insurgents. The rebel flagship Aquidaban was slightly damaged by the fire from the forts. ‘Ten Vessels Bought by Brazil. NEW YORK, Nov. 1.—Six more United States merchant ships have been purchased by the government of Brazil for use as war ships—the powerful El Rio of the Mor- gan line and the Advance, Finance, A!- liance, Seguranca and Vigilanca of the re- cent United States and Brazil Mail Steam- ship Company. Yesterday’s purchase gives to the Brazilian government ten new ves- sels. The other four craft are El Cid, De- stroyer, Fefseen and the new Yarrow tor- pedo beat, which is about to be shipped to New York. All ten craft were purchased through Messrs. Chas. R. Flint & Co. qq. LOBENGUELA’S CAPITAL TAKEN. Probable End of the W: Matabeles. LONDON, Nov. 1.—A special dispatch to the Times from Fort Charter, Mashonaland states that several fights have occurred between the Matabeles and the forces of the British South African Company, in which the Matabeles were defeated with considerable loss. The natives, who hereto- fore have been regarded as fighters far superior to the British, have lost much of the confidence they felt in themselves and are quite broken up by their succession of reverses. King Lobenguela, the dispatch adds, retreated and was followed by a Brit- ish column. It is reported that the British joss in killed and wounded has not been serious. It was reported that fighting was ex- pected to occur near Hope Fountain, about twenty miles south of Buluwayo, King Lo- benguela’s kraal. The Times dispatch is not definite as to where the fighting refer- red to took place, but it is supposed that it was at or near Hope Fountain. The dis- patch further says that the columns under Maj. Goold Adams and Maj. Forbes have occupied Buluwayo. As this was the objective point of all the columns it is considered here that the war is practically ended, though unless terms are made with Lobenguela it will be in his power to harass the British by the guerrilla warfare in which the Mata- beles are adepts. It appears that the column under the command of Maj. Forbes has done most of the fighting that has resulted in the cap- ture of Lobenguela’s capital. —_—>——— IMMUNITY FOR SLAVERS. r Against the Practical Effect of a Recent Trial in Zanzibar. ZANZIBAR, Noy. 1—The captain and crew of the French slave dhow that was captured by the cruiser Philomel in April last have been acquitted by the court at Reunion, to which the prisoners were sent for trial by the French consul here. The acquittal practically gives immunity to the slave trade, who carry on their trade under the French flag. Not more than 5 per cent of the slaves shipped from African ports have been captured by her majesty's cruisers in the last fifty years. Two hundred were captur- ed in Zanzibar waters in one month. It is safe to estimate that that number repre- sents 4,00) slaves shipped, and many of these were no doubt, destined for the Is- land of Pemba, which absorbs many thou- sands of slaves in the cultivation of the clove. Others are smuggled into Zanzibar to be let out in large numbers as porters to caravans. The British protectorate of Zanzibar. which includes the Island of Pemba, where thousands of slaves are employed, depends for much of its revenue upon the Pemba clove trade. The British and Foreign Anti- slave Society has urged upon the British government the importance of proclaiming the abolition of the legal status of slavery in the protectorate, but its efforts have met with poor success. BRINGING THE BELL EAST. Returning the Relic to Independence Hall. DAYTON, Ohio, Nov. 1.—Old liberty bell was given a royal reception all along the line this morning. At Richmond, Ind., at early dawn, a big crowd clustered around the railroad station. At Eldorado,West Man- chester and Brookville the entire popula- tion turned out, and at every village there were cheers and bunting and exhibitions of patriotism that could not be mistaken. On the outskirts of Dayton the fluttering of flags from factories and dwellings showed that a patriotic spirit was abroad. School children by the thousands and men and wo- men, nearly all of whom wore red, white and blue bages, massed around the stand that had been erected at Ludlow and 6th street. Mayor McMillan, all the members of the council and hundreds of prominent citizens gathered on the platform, which was so ar- ranged that the bell car could be run di- rectly into its center. Camp 1, Union Vet- eran Legion, of Cincinnati met the train here, to act as guard of honor. The platform was guarded by company I, third regiment of Ohio National Guard. Mayor McMillan made a short address of cordial welcome, to which Mayor Stuart of Philadelphia responded. There was music by a band, singing by school children and booming of cannon, and cheer after cheer was given the cracked old bell. Three hours were spent here, during which a steady stream of people across the car. a Sas. WANTS TO KILL SENATOR MITCHELL Portland, Ore., Has a Crank Who Has Been Locked U; PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. 1.—A rather dan- gerous sort of crank, who has for some time been sending letters of advice to Gov- ernor Pennoyer and to the government of Portland and Oregon, was captured shortly after noon Monday. He is Charles Lun- gedder, a German forty years of age and a gardener by occupation. ‘The letter which fell into the hands of Mayor Mason, and which led to his appre- hension, is a voluminous affair. Its writer alleges that he is a reformer who has been delegated by God to run an independent ticket for the presidency of the United States; that it has been revealed to nim that he is the only man living who cen safely guide the government through the present crisis. He thinks that it will be necessary to kill Senator Mitchell, who, he says, is working against the interests of the great northwest. He then goes into a long discussion concerning the wrong-do- ing of a number of people, saying that they, too, must die, if the country is to be saved. In answer to a number of questions he said: “I wrote Gov. Pennoyer some letters, giving him a good lecture on certain points, and I notice that he has improved. It was while living in California that I first heard the voice speaking to me, telling me to re- form the government, and I have heard it at intervals ever since. ‘I am now old enough and consider my- self qualified for President. My work was almost done here. If the people would not have listened to me here I would have gone to Europe, where my services would be ac- cepted. I don’t belong to any church or political party, but believe all wicked per- sons should be removed from the earth. My brothers and sisters had me shut up in an asylum once, saying I was crazy and wanted to marry Queen Victoria.” Lungedder was adjudged insane last even- ing and sent to the asylum. eee On Fire in the Suez Canal.

DENVER, Colo., Nov. 1.—The impression has gained prominence throughout the east that the passage of the repeal bill by Con- gress would be a death blow to Colorado and her industries. In order to ascertain the opinion of the leading business men of Denver upon the subject and whether or not they shared in this belief, a reporter called upon ex-Gov. Evans, G. E. Ross-Lewin, cashier of the First National Bank; Rodney Curtis, presi- dent of the Denver Tramway Company; C. B. Kountz, president of the Colorado 3 tional Bank; J. J. Reithmann, president of the German National Bank, and several other bankers, and, without an exception, each one expressed the belief that the in- jury to Colorado by the repeal of the pur- chasing clause had been anticipated for weeks and that business was slowly improv- ing. —>_—_.

WINTER RESORTS. DISTRICT MILITIA. i Pertinent Remarks on the Subject by Gen. Flagler. Gen. Flagler, chief of ordnance of the army, in his annual report to the Secretary of War, makes the following pertinent re- marks about the militia of the District of Columbia: “The act of March 1, 188%, to provide for the organization of the militia of the Dis- trict of Columbia, provides that the ord- nance and ordnance stores necessary to arm, equip, and instruct said militia shall be issued from the stores and supplies pro- vided for the use of the regular army, but the act failed to make any appropriation to enable the ordnance department to make good the depletion of the limited army sup- plies by these issues to the militia. “As the property issued as provided for in this act must be taken from the supplies for the army—that is, from the appropria- tions for these supplies—and as it is a fact that the appropriations now made are in- sufficient for the actual needs of the army, it is evident that if the militia is supplied the army will suffer, and vice versa. “The issues thus far made under this act amount to $4,021.54, and an item of this amount is embraced in the estimates to be laid before Congress. In my judgment it would be wise to have a permanent appro- priation of a fixed amount for each year to provide for these issues to the District mi- lita, or a specific appropriation for each year. ‘The importance of maintaining the ef- ficiency of the District militia need not be stated. The small allotment due to the District from the general appropriation for arming and equipping the militia of the United States is inadequate for this pur- pose.” Clerical Force. On the subject of his clerical force Gen. Flagler say: “I deem it my duty to invite your at- tention to the evils resulting from an in- adequate clerical force in this office. This has been reported in previous years, and the Secretary of War has directed that an estimate be submitted to Congress for a sufficient clerical force. This has been done, but the necessary appropriation has not been granted. An estimate for this purpose has again been included in my es- timates for ihis year. Additional clerks are necessary. Notwithstanding careful ef- forts to minimize the clerical work that must be performed, the largely increased business of the department, due to work of gun construction for coast defense and a constant increase of office work from other causes, the necessary clerical labor is constantly increasing. There is now a large arrear of clerical labor, which the interests of the service demand should be brought up to date. With the present force this is impossible, and, on the contrary, the neces- sary current work of each year can not be properly performed.” ——. - + e+ SENATORIAL COURTESY. It is Shown by Giving Up Seats With a Bland Smile. Much has been said and written during the struggle in the Senate over the repeal of the Sherman law about “Senatorial courtesy.” It has been an absorbing topic, but one phase of it has yet to be touched upon. This courtesy is not only extended by Senators to each other, but to those less fortunate mortals who wander into the chamber and occupy chairs in the exclusive semi-circle. It seems to be an unwritten law that a chair belongs to whoever may occupy it. Possession is a strong point in the ethics of the Senate. When a statesman strolls into the presence of the gavel from the outer void of a cloak room or the res- taurant and finds a stranger in his seat he delicately refrains from giving the least hint of his presence. He usually sits down in the adjoining chair and pretends to be intensely absorbed in the words of Mr. Stewart or any other Senator who may be encouraging the printing trade. Suddenly the intruder becomes aware of the Senator- ial presence and hastens to evaporate, ig- noring the beseeching of the Senator to re- — an soe the owner of a a self-invit est ki ~~ sometimes pitiful. = ecager epresentatives of a certain Politics in the lower house tly ee} of walking over on the marble tiles from the southern to the northern end of the Capitol and there seeking out the seat of their prophet, the senior Senator from New York. Some of them know him, and many of them do not, yet they all hover about the desk on the back row assigned to Mr. Hill and slip into the comfortable chair with a sigh of hope and aspiration. Mr. Hill preserves an excellent exterior under his numerous trials, but he is never more biand than when he enters the chamber and finds a member resting amid the red leather cushions of his seat. Nothing could exceed the dismay with which he sees member rising to give way. Nothing come be more profound than the bow that greets the back of the retreating guest. This ts a very pretty world, after all. ————-e-_____ To E it a Model.
