SES THE WRO HOUSE. William Butler Mistakes a Strange Residence for His House. Wm. H. Butler, alias Hunter, has been a resident of the city for a few months and for the past three months has been em- ployed in the government printing office. Last night Instead of going to work he imbibed not wisely, but too copiously. Shortly Mrs. Rockwell, living at 137 L street with her mother, was awakened by hearing some one strike a match on the stairway near the top of the house. She cried out: “Who is that?” “It's me,” ungrammatically re- plied a strange male voice. “Mother,” screamed the young lady, “it is Jack the Slasher.” “There is no slasher,” came the strange voice. Mrs. Rockwell, however, determined to ascertain who the possessor of the mas- culine voice was, and she boldly ran up- stairs and grabbed the intruder around the neck, and, more than that, pluckily held him until a policeman was called in. Then it was discovered that the unknown man was none other than Butler. The man was locked up and this morning he explained his presence in the house by saying that he was drunk last night and wandered into the house by mistake, sup- posing, in his intoxicated condition, that it was his own place of residence, 106 I street. “This is the second instance of the kind in which you have participated inside of a few weeks’ time, and {t is a wonder that you were not shot,” sald Judge Kimball to the young man. “And if you had been you would have had only yourself to blame.” . ‘That is very true,” remarked Butler. “Drink, as usual in such cases,” contin- ued the court, “is responsible for your ac- | tions. I do not believe that you would do such a thing while sober, and with the hope that this will be a lesson to you I will take = personal bonds not to repeat the of- lense.” a Had Two Loads. William Hardesty, an old countryman, living near Sligo, came into town yesterday for a load of manure. a load of whisky. The fertilizer he put in his wagon, and with the whisky he loaded himself. Thus doubly loaded, he proceeded on his way home, and on 11th street north- west he took the wheel off the carriage of a citizen. “I reckon I'm guilty, jedge,”" remarked the old man this morning to Judge Kimball. “IT had a dram or two, but never intended to harm anyone's carriage.” “The trouble with you, Mr. Hardesty, 1s that you were drunk. “You should have taken more manure and less whisky home, and you will have to pay a fine of $25 to cover the damage done by you.” ———__ Sentenced Today.

All night the tug Merritt lay alongside awaiting- daylight and the opportunity to send a boat alongside. As soon as it was possible to see suffi- ciently well a boat put out from the Mer- ritt and took off part of the crew in the main rigging. After these were safely put aboard the tug a second trip rescued those in the fore, including the woman and boy. All were landed safely. The condition of the rescued is not known here on the beach. The Storm in Long Island Sound. NEW LONDON, Conn. ov. 29.—Monday night’s southeast storm was a terrific one |along this coast. The Philadelphia steamer | Rattlesnake, bound to Newburyport, Mass., with coal, came in here yesterday for safety. The big new ocean tug Schranton, bound | from Jersey City to Boston with 6,500 tons | of coal in the barges, followed her in. The barges were the Nayaug, Pohaticong and Musconetcong. Off Plum Island the rain completely shut out all lights, the sea al- most completely buried the tug, while the |breakers swept over the barges con- | stantly. In the height of the gale the schooners Wanderer and Jane M. Brainerd dragged inshore in this harbor. They were floated by tugs yesterday.

McElwell of the Arnot, when | Seen today, told this story of the rescue. | He said: “We were coming down from Bos- |ton with a barge in tow, and when we | passed Faulkner's Island at the entrance | to the sound the wind was going southeast and blowing half a gale. As we came down | the sound the wind shifted to the south- | west and the weather became squally. | ithe Seas were running high and troubled pe force as dangerous as on the ocean | Itself. “About 4 o'clock yesterday morning we were off Eaton's Isiand, to the eastward. |The storm was still howling as the tug buried her nose in the seas and came up again with a jerk from her tow line. “In the darkness we saw a moving light ahead. It seemed to be waved from side to side. I directed our course toward it, and as we came near I heard cries of di tress. After a time I made out in the dark- ness a scow and a canal boat pitching and | rolling about helplessly. The waves broke over the craft, and it seemed likely that | they would go under every minute. | “Going as near as we dared, a voice came |from the darkness from the scow crying for God’s sake save the people. “We could not take them off in the seas that were running. To run alongside would be to sink them and ourselves, too. We shouted back to them that we could not take them on board unless they jumped} | overboard, and they would probably drown | |if they did it. I said we would take them | in tow, and after much difficulty got a hawser to them. “I told them to wave a light to us if they were sinking while in tow, and started ahead. Our course was set for Port Morri- | son and look out was kept for signais from |onr tow. Fortunately we got her in safely. | Upon reaching Port Morrison I found that there were four men and a woman on the scow. We lost the cunal boat and the lash- ings broke in the storm and it drifted of. The woman wore only her night clothes. She had been on the canal boat and barely | escaped when it sank. She had only time to jump out of bed and scramble on the flat | boat when the canal boat sank. “The scow was made fast to the Port Morris dock. It and the two canal boats | were bound for St. John’s and Long Island from Hammond Flats, and were in tow of !the tug-Mary A. Avere. To save herself |from being swamped during the storm on | | Monday night, the Avere cut loose from her tow and sought shelter in Stamford | harbor and those on board the barges were abandoned to their fate.” RELIC OF OLD NEW YORK, Found by a Missouri Farmer Digging | a Drainage Ditch.

Political Events In Brazil Preceding Mello’s Rebellion. PELKOTO AND THE CONSTITUTION. The Question of the Re-election of a Presjdent. A BILL THAT WAS VETOED. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. RIO, October 7, 1893. The fall of the monarchy and the procla- mation of the republic was consummated on the 15th of November, 1889; this was brought about by the conjoined action of the army, navy and people, and Marshal Deodoro was acclaimed provisional presi- dent, who at once set about establishing a firm government, greatly aided by Col. Benjamin Constant, to whom most Brazil- jans give the greater part of the credit for the success of the revolution. The provisional government at once com- menced the task by ordering a general elec- tion for deputies and senators to the first congress, who were duly elected by all the States, lately called provinces, under the monarchy. In due time congress assembled in number 205, fully representing all Brazil, and after a long debate, and minute con- sideration of every article, adopted a fed- eral constitution on the 24th of February, 1891, with certain temporary articles at- tached; this constitution is modeled prin- cipally on those of the United States of America, Switzerland and Chile, and is very liberal. As soon as the constitution was adopted, in obedience to one of the temporary ar- ticles which declares that the first presi- dent and vice president should be elected by congress, an election was held and Deo- doro Fonseca was chosen president, and Florlano Peixoto vice president, for the first term, which ends on the 15th of No- vember, 1804, Fonseca’s Dictatorship. After continued squabbles with congress President Deodoro, by a coup d’etat, on the 3d of November, 1891, dissolved that body, assumed the dictatorship and ordered a new election for March of the following year. On the 23d of the same month. after only twenty days, the army and navy and a jarge majority of the expelled congressmen combined and forced the abdication of Pres- ident Deodoro, in order, as they declared, to vindicate the law and the constitution, and Floriano Peixoto. the vice president, succeeded as a matter of course and ac- cording to the constitution. Deodoro was compelled to accede to the wishes of the revolution, people, army or navy and was in a wretch- ed state of health and died soon afterward. During all this time the states each had adopted their own constitutions and elected their state governors or presidents as they are severaliy called; and during the twenty days of the dictatorship almost all, if not all, these elected xovernors had sent in their approval and adherence to the dictator; for which cause, as soon as Floriano was firm- ly seated, by the aid. assistance and ad- vice of his cabinet, the most active of which was his minister of marine. Admiral Jose Custodio de Mello, the present chief of the naval revolt, cabals were organized by agents of the central government, who in- cited the people of the states tg depose their governors with the aid of the federal mili- tary forces stationed in each state; and wita the aid of newly appointed local of- ficers, they elected new governors, who ap- pointed new officers, all supposed to be fa- vorable to Floriano’s ideas. Now, one of the principal charges against Floriano used by Mello ts the act of interfering in state governments. The Failure of the Geraes Company. Floriano found the financial state of af- fairs in a very low condition and took means, more or less assured, to remedy it; among others the General Company of Railways (Companhia Geral) had issued an immense number of shares in excess of the legal number, and its officers, so says everybody, had falsified more shares, amounting to millions of money far be- yond the illegal issue. Deodoro was about to extend the protection of the government to this gigantic swindle, but Floriano put down his foot and refused to have any- thing to do with it. The company suffered a fraudulent bankruptcy, and every man, woman and child (covnted by ¢hundreds of thousands), as usual in Latin countries, who suffered losses by the failure of the Geraes Company, at once became a vin- dictive enemy of the government and es- pecially of its president, Floriano. From this source commenced the oppo- sition to Floriano, until (i do not remember the date) thirteen of the highest army and officers, backed by certain men of third-rate newspaper editors, addressed and published a letter to Floriano, | ing or rather ordering the president to call un election of the people to choose a president, according to Art. 42 of the con- stitution, which says: “In the case of the presidential office becoming vacant from any cause, if two years of the term in which this takes place should not have elapsed, then there must be held a new elec- tion (to fill the vacancy.” But the presi- dent, Floriano, taking as his authority the tory provisions of the constitution, mec> expressly for the first’ presidential term, Art. 1, Par. 2, which reads: ‘The president and vice president elected under the form of this article (Ist) will occupy the presidency and vice presidency of the republic during the first presidential term,” refused to call an election, it was openly declared at the time that the object of the transitory provisions of the constitution was to prevent a proper election for president until after the first presidential term, or until (in other words) he people should be able, through exper- tence, to make a fair choice. The president ordered these generals and officers to be put upon the retired list. On the uth of April, 1802, some of these retired officers, assisted by certain discontented elements of Bra- zilian_poiltical society, attempted a revolu- tion in a most ridiculously absurd manner, which was strangled in its birth, and the chiefs exiled to the wilds of Amazonas on the head waters of the river Amazon. In June of this same year congress met again, and by a large majority approved every act | of Floriano’s government in respect to the quasi-revolt, and then voted a bill of am- nesty for the exilez,who were thus again let loose to commence new intrigues. It should have been stated above that congress confirmed Fiorlano’s interpreta- tion of the transitory provisions. The Veto. One of the articles of the constitution de- clares that an elected president cannot be re-elected for the next term, and that in case a vice president has served as prest- dent for the Jast two years of the term, he cannot be a candidate at the next election. Though this is meant for the permanent or- ganization after the first term, the opposi- tion took the question to congress, where they succeeded in getting a law’ passed which states that a vice president can un- er no circumstances be re-elected,although the constitution declares that he is incom- patible onlv in case he has served as presi- | dent for the last two years of the term. Floriano vetoed this law as unconstitu- tional and sent it back to congress, which knowing it could not get a two-third vote in favor of the bill, by obstructional meas- ieceeded in preventing the law with to being brought up before congress. ‘This veto was the immediate pretext of | Mello to revolt, the whole idea being to ob- struct the approaching congressional and | presidential elections. Like many of the Brazilian laws, the new constitution is in piaces ambiguous, so I have tried above to give the understanding of the better class at the time the laws were made and before personal or political | reasons had been raised in order to carry cn opposition. Almost every principal law in Brazil has been explained so many times by what are called “avisos” that they may mean any- thing. When a district judge does not feel clear on a point he consults the minister of jus- tice, who sends him and publishes at the same time an “aviso” or explanation of the law, which {s valid till a successor may emit a different opinion. es eee Closed at Noon.

Washington and Arlington Road Ask an Extension of the Charter. House bill 4247, to amend the charter of the Washington and Arlington Railway Company, was the eee: a public hear- ing before the Commissioners this morning. The object of the .Hill is to extend the time for completing the railroad three years, or, in other words, to give the in- corporators six years in all from the grant- ing of the charter to construct the road. Mr. W. V. R. Berry represented the stock- hoiders of the proposed road and explained in detail the objects of the bill. He believed if this extension were granted the incorpo- rators of the road could collect money enough to build the bridge across the Po- tomac at Three Sisters. He also stated that all matters relative to changes in the route he would leave with the Commissioners. Dr. Ritchie presented a long petition from the citizens of Georgetown, praying that authority be granted the railroad ta use a portion of the piers of the Aqueduct bridge. He argued that it was very im- probable that any street railroad would ever build a bridge of its own, and that the piers of the present bridge were amply able to carry a railroad. Mr. Enoch Totten and President Dunlop of the Washington and Georgetown Kail- road Company opposed any extension of time, if by such extension the new rail- road would be permitted to use any por- tion of the Washington and Georgetown railroad tracks, President Dunlop stated that the man- agement of the Washington and George- town Railroad Company was contemplating the betterment of its train service. In a short time trains would be run on a two- minute schedule. That would mean a halt- minute train service on Pennsylvania ave- nue between 15th street and the Peace monument. So it would be wholly imprac- ticable and exceedingly dangerous to aliow any other road to use the tracks of the cable —___ AMATEUR SPARRING. Splendid Program Tonight. The sparring bouts at the Columbia Ath- letic Club tonight promises to be the best of the season. The committees have ar- ranged to bring together a good many of the most promising young boxers of the District, and the friends of several of those who are supposed to be in championship form are looking forward to these contests with great interest. Several of the best men from the Philadelphia and Wilmington clubs will contest with Washington for the supremacy, and some lively bouts are an- ticipated. Joe Bateman, the champion 110-pound man of the C. A. C., will meet Docherty, | the best man produced by the Wilmington | club for years. Docherty won the cham- | plonship bout at the Neptune Club in Bal- |timore on Friday night last, and his ad- herents claim that he will lower Bateman colors in short order. The following men will spar: DeSaussure, Cc. A, C., vs. Antrim, unattached; Lash, Y. M. C. C., vs. Ellis, Washington Athletic Club; House, unattached, vs. Miller, unat- tached; Bateman, C. A. vs. Dougherty. Warren A. C.; Burns, unattached, vs. John- son, unattached. In addition there will be two bouts between men from Philadelphia | and Wilmington whose names have not yet been announced. Snapper Garrison has consented to referee these bouts. ——— Escaped This Time. John Roquette and Samuel Davis, two young white men, were charged with be- ing suspicious characters this morning, having been arrested at the race track yesterday. They plead guilty, and Judge Kimball was about to send them down when Detective Weedon asked that their personal bonds be taken on condition that they leave town at once. “As I stated yesterday,” replied Judge Kimball, “I do not propose to take the bonds of such characters. If I should do so their arrests will have little, if any, ef- fect upon others of like character. We do not want such people here, and when they are brought before me they will either give heavy bonds or go to the work house.” “But, your honor,” pleaded Detective Weedon, “I know that these men wanted to leave town last night.” “Of course they did after you had ar. rested them,” remarked the court. “But I'm positive these men really in- tended to leave town last night had they not been arrested,” tective. “Well,” responded the judge, “I'll make an exception in their case, but hereafter ali such characters will not be so fortu- nate. Put these men on the first train which ieaves town, and if seen here again bring them before me and I will send them down.” cele es Cases Dropped.

ANOTHER ADVANCE IN CHICAGO GAS. Higher Prices and Increased Busi- ness in Wall Street. GENERAL MARKET REPORTS. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. NEW YORK, Nov. 29.—Traders were dis- Posed to buy stocks at the opening of to- day’s market. which resulted in higher prices and increased business. London had improved from 1-4 to 3-8 over night and bought moderately in our market. The better prices at the end of the first hour led to some realizing by the room and certain bear cliques were active in their efforts to offer down the more active stocks. Sugar is still the favorite with the profes- sional element who control its movements, and was depressed 21-8 per cent from the opening to 827-8. Expert opinion on the ef- fect of the new tariff schedule as applied to this property is pessimistic in the extreme. The pool in Chicago Gas successfully sus- tained the price of that stock at an ad- vance of 13-8 per cent to 67 7-8. In the regular iist New England was con- spicuously strong on good buying and gain- ed 13-8 per cent to 311-2. Western Union was advanced on orders from several large com:znission house, who predict a further rise. based on the demand from investors, with whom this stock has always been a favorite. Surlington was depressed 1 per cent on realizing and some manipulation to 81 1-4. big Four earnings for the third week this month decreased 348.202 and Wabash for the same period decreased $10.500, It was announced today that the interest in the Northern Pacific 5 per cent con- solidated bonds, due December 1, and the general third mortgage Duluth and Man- itoba, Dakota division, due same date, will not be paid. The foreign exchange market was firm at an advance of 1-4 cent from yester- day’s posted rates. The supply of bills continues smali, especially cotton bills, which are more scarce than at any time for months. Money was offered in large blocks on call at 1 1-2 per cent and time loans are not in good demand at 1-2 the legal rate. The cleering house statement shows ex- changes, $08,607,605; balances, 34,863,450, and the subtreasury’s debit balance, $614,908. ‘The market relapsed into dullness during the afternoon, partly due to the well-known aversion of traders <o carrying stocks over a holiday. Rumors of new bull pocls were in circu- lation and sentiment generally is in favor of the long side of the railway list. All prophecies fail when applied to the indus- trial group, as it is not krown to what extent the tariff bill will affect their for- tunes. There was no sap to the last hour's tradirg and business came almost to a standstill. Prices were well held through the dullness and some slight advances were recorded, Chicago Gas and Western Union | touching the highest point for the day. The closing was steady at a general ad- vance over the low prices of midday and in some instances net gains from the open- ing were recorded. —___ Washingt Stock Exchange.

CAPT. AUSTIN'S EXPLANATION. What He Considers His Duty im Re- gard to Immoral Pictures, The action of Capt. Austin of police force in directing a certain nd a to remove from the show window a certain picture which, in the opinion of the officer, was of a character unfit for public exhibi- tion, was taken, as explained to @ Star reporter by the officer, because press order given him some time ago by the District Commissioners. The order in question directed Capt. Austin to take im- mediate charge of all violations of section 5389 of the Revised Statutes of the United States. “Every person who, within the District of Columbia,” reads the Statute, “sells or lends, or gives away, or in any manner exhibits, or offers to sell, or to lend, or to give away, or in any manner to exhibit, * * * any obscene book, pam- phiet, paper, writing, advertisemnet, cir- cular, print, picture, drawi Teseniation, figure, or imagen’ costs of court.” Acting under the authority of this order of the Commissioners, Capt. Austin stated to the reporter other members of the pend largely upon force in preventing the exhibition of im- and moral pictures, advertisemen: when violations of the law war capareek to him, he personally investigated’ them whenever possible, and when, in his opin- ion, the act complained of appeared to be unlawful, he proceeded further in the mat. ter. In the present case his attention had been called to but one picture. That picture represented a rounded by and in the embrace of women in such a of nudeness as, in his hum- ble opinion, rendered the picture unfit to be exhibited in a public show window on the great thoroughfare of the city, where ail who stopped to gaze in the window were | forced to glance upon the picture. He had not, explained Capt. Austin, attempted to prevent the dealer from placing the pie- ture on sale, or from so placing in his store where it could be seen by those desirous of looking upon or purchasing it and others similar to it. “It is not the picture itself” remarked Capt. Austin. “I felt obliced to complain of, but merely its exhibition in |80 public a’manner. Such a position been invariably sustained by the courts |and therefore T feel thet I was fully justi. |fied in taking the ation I did in the Present | case. T hove no desire to none as a great moralist in this or in anv other matter | What T did T did conscientiously, and 1 acted. J believe, within the order and au- thority given me by the District sioners.” —__—_. CHARLIE WILSON WINs, Good Crowd and Plensant ‘Weather at Renning Todry.
