In Case of European Interference More Will be Sent. BUYING ARMS HERE. So far as official information ts con- cerned the public knows absolutely noth- ing about the policy of the administration with respect to the revolution in Brazil. There are any number of reports on the subject, some of which are accepted as true because of their plausibility. All are alike, however, in that they lack the seal of official confirmation. For instance, it has been asserted time and again that the United States will adhere to the Monroe doctrine in this case and that it has served notice on the parties in interest that the United States will vigorously resent foreign interference in favor of the insurgents. This report is predicated on another re- port that European governments are se- cretly intriguing with Admiral Mello, the leader of the insurgents, to secure, in the event of his success, the restoration of a monarchical form of government for Bra- zil, The United States naturally favors a republican form of government for that country, but that the administration has taken any steps toward the perpetua- tion of such principles in its southern neighbor is at best a matter of inference, for the simple reason that the “powers that be” deem it best to keep the public in ignorance of their actions in this case. The natural result of this policy of se- crecy is the circulation of all sorts of sen- sational reports, which receive unwarrant- ed attention because they are ignored by the only persons capable of showing their falsity. Through the courtesy of Secretary Herbert The Star was enabled yesterday to contradict positively the absurd story that negotiations are pending for the sale to the Brazilian government of the cruisers Montgomery, Marblehead and Mathias, now under construction for the United States navy. Another story equally absurd is that the United States government is so much interested in the cause of the Petxoto re- gime that it has ordered the cruiser New York to convey to Rio de Janeiro the steamer El Cid, recently purchased in New York, in order to protect that vessel — possible molestation by insurgent ves- sels. This report received credence principally on the jumption that the cruiser in New York is under orders to go to Brazil. Asa matter of fact, no such orders have been issued, and it is not at all certain that the New York will visit Rio in the near future. That vessel is being rapidly prepared for active service, and Rio may be her imme- diate destination, but if she goes there at all it will be on account of a most radical and unlooked for change in the present situation of affairs, such as the active in- terference of European nations in behalf of the monarchical party. Ships Available. It is stated at the Navy Department that no more vessels will be sent to Brazil for the present, except in the unexpected event of an important crisis threatening the in- terests of the United States, and in such @ case we would certainly not be content with sending one ship when there are at least four available. It was explained that if a naval demonstration were necessary to enforce our contention we would make the best showing possible, and that the present conditions are such that we have exactly four powerful ships that can soon be added to the fleet of three already in the harbor of Rio de Janeiro. The reinforce- ments are the New York at New York, the San Francisco in the West Indies, and the Chicago and the Bennington, now cruising in the Mediterranean, all of which can be rendezvoused in Rio in about three weeks’ time at the latest. The point was made that if the circumstances justified the dis- patch of the New York to Rio they would also require equally the presence of the other vessels named. Consequently, the vessels now on the European station are just as likely to be sent to Brazil as the New York. The recent equipment of the last named vessel is simply for the pur- pose of having her ready in case she is needed. Secretary Herbert is responsible for the statement that she will not go to Brazil, except in an emergency, and there has been no change in the situation since he made that statement early this week. The administration has all along studious- ly avoided taking sides in the Brazilian con- troversy, as evidenced by the recall of Ad- miral Stanton for his unauthorized recog- nition of the insurgents, and it is regard- ed as extremely unlikely that it would coun- tenance such a radical interference in be- half of President Pexioto as the employ- ment of the New York as a convoy of one of his ships. The impression prevails that the administration policy is solely one of non-interference, and that this government cannot consistently ask European powers to keep “hands off” unless it observes itself the same spirit of neutrality. Vessels at Rio. The United States fleet at Rio comprises the cruisers Charleston, Newark and De- troit. The last named vessel arrived there yesterday after a long and rather slow voyage from Hampton Roads. The arrival of the Detroit caused Secretary Herbert and naval officers generally considerable relief, not on account of the additional strength her presence will give to the American squadron at Rio, but because there was much anxiety felt over her safety in view of the belief that she is somewhat top-heavy, like the Machias and other vessels. At the State Department no information on Brazilian matters is obtainable. News- papers containing accounts of events in io were received yesterday, but they threw no new light on the condition of af- fairs. When Secretary Herbert was seen he said he did not care to say anything about matters at Rio. Concerning the re- ports of sensational happenings there af- fecting the United States, Mr. Herbert said that if people wished “to conjure up ghosts” of serious occurrences they were at perfect liberty to do so. Buying Arms Here. The fitting out of armed vessels in this country for the use of the Brazilian gov- ernment in the revolution has suggested inquiries as to how far this movement of President Peixoto can be carried without fracturing our national obligations of non- interference. The opinion is expressed that the purchase of arms, armed vessels and ammunition can be carried on to an un- limited extent by nations recognized by the United States. According to nearly all the executive and judicial decisions on the sub- ject, American ship builders and dealers in munitions of war are dependent on for- eign troubles for their support, and can manufacture arms and boats for belliger- ents without fear of involving the United States in international complications so long as the government gives them no as- sistance in the execution of contracts made with them simply as citizens, ‘Cases are cited at the State Department where in years past the same firm in this country supplied armed vessels for two govern- ments at war with each other—Spain and one of its South American dependencies. ——_———_+ e+ —_____ Califo 's Inc d Vintage. c.

This te- lief has been confirmed by the declaration during the silver debate by Senator Irby, who is the state democratic chairman, that, if unconditional repeal should prevail, he and his people—the alliance men—would re- fuse to follow democratic leadership further, and that he would vote against any tariff- reform measure introduced in behalf of the national administration. A probable result of this policy is indi- cated in a letter from Gen. Wade Hampton, federal commissioner of railroads, to the editor of the Columbia State, and which will appear in that paper todiy. Gen. Hampton is vice president for South Cero- lina of the National League of Democratic Clubs, of which Chauncey F. Black of Pennsylvania is president. Noting the fact that the state and other conservative, or anti-Ocala, papers have been advocating his taking the lead in organizing this league for support of the democratic principles, as- serted at the national conventioa, Gen. Hampton-says: “I have waited to ascertain the views of the democratic press of South Carolina, for these papers represent, in my opinion, the only true democratic sentiment of the state, and this sentiment should be expressed by what are called the conservative papers. My own judgment is clear that the time has come when the line should be drawn be- tween those who stand on the Ocala plat- form and those who stand on that of the national democracy. No man who upholds the former can claim properly to be a demo- crat, and unless our people choose to eup- port the fallacies of the Ocala adherents, or to be led into the populist party, the true democrats of the state should organize to maintain the principles of the cemo- cratic party, as set forth in the Chicago platform. “If my democratic fellow-citizens agree with me that this is the true policy to be adopted, I shall at once proceed to organize national democratic clubs throughout the state, and I shall exert my utmost efforts to keep the state where it properly belongs, in the great democratic column. “I believe that this can be done, for our people will scarcely now, in the hcur vf vic- tory, forsake the flag they followed so steadfastly and so faithfully when that fag went down in defeat. Unscrupulous dema- gogues have, by false promises, misled 1iany of our most honest men, and they have brought shame upon our proud state. “T will have abiding faith in the men who followed the starry cross through trials and carnage; who bore, with the heroism of martyrs, the sufferings of the reconstruc- tion era, and who, with a devoticn «nd pluck never surpassed, rescued the state in '76. Those men cannot forget the past, nor can they forsake the banner under which the victory of '76 was won. “If I can once more give aid to my state, I shall gladly enlist in her service, and I shall rejoice to join those who seek to main- tain her welfare, to protect her honor, and to save her from shame and disgrace. “I am very truly yours, “WADE HAMPTON,” This will probably result in the organiza- tion of the league to represent democratic interests in the place of the present state committee, which is controlled by believers in populist doctrines. ——+e-—__. RIDING FREE ON THE WHEEL. Denisens of the Midway Plaisance Given a Treat. The Chicago exposition officials had the best of the fight with the Ferris Wheel Company yesterday morning. A high fence, put up Wednesday night at the eastern en- trance to the Midway, barred visitors from entering in that direction, and the ticket offices and the turnstiles at the Cottage Grove avenue end were closed. A man was stationed at the wagon gate to admit pass-holders, and he also let in some visi- tors at fifty cents a head. At the regular hour the wheel began to turn, and, for want of other pastime, all the employes got in the cars and howled at the guards on the earth. One of the ticket gates was left open, and the leak was soon discovered by men, women and children of the nationalities which have made the Mid- way attractive. They came scurrying to the wheel with howls of delight, and got a free ride before the employes could get out of the cars to close the gap. When Super- intendent Wright came down he ordered tickets put on sale and operations conduct- ed as usual that the company might pre- serve all its legal rights ready for a long fight with the exposition. ee Army Orders. By direction of the President War De- partment order of October 14, 189%, appoint- ing a retiring board to meet at Jefferson barracks, Mo., is revoked. Capt. Richard E. Thompson, signa! corps, will be relieved from duty at the world’s Columbian exposition and will report to the chief signal officer for special instruc- tions.

He was cheered loudly as he took his seat. TORTURED BY BURGLARS. They Pour Oil Over a Man and Threaten to Burn Him, Masked burglars entered the hagne of the venerable Bartholomew Crowley, in Harbor creek, New Erie, Pa., Wednesday night, and demanded his money. The burglars, three in number, beat and choked the old, man brutally. They then poured oil over him and his bed and to burn him if he did not reveal and deliver to them his money. While about to carry out their fiendish in- tentions the old man’s daughter, Mrs. Carey, who had been tortured by the burg- la>s in her room up-stairs, jumped from her window and escaped. This alarmed the and they left. The old man is badly hurt and Mrs, Carey is also badly in- jured by the jump. ——— -+ee—____ Chieago’s New Mayor.
