[PREPARING TO LAND. Insurgents Take Position in Front of Rio Janeiro, ANARCHISTS REPULSED AT CARRARA. Opening of the Prussian Diet by the Kaiser. GENERAL FOREIGN MATTERS. BUENOS AYRES, Jan. 16.—Dispatches received here last night from Rio Janeiro State that the insurgent warship Aquidaban had taken up a position in front of the cus- tom house and was preparing to land troops. The insurgents have captured Eugenho Island. Forty of the government troops were killed and sixty captured. The gov- ernment has sent reinforcements to Nicthe- roy. The insurgents are reported to be burning villages in the state of Rio Grande do Sul and butchering the captives they make. The government forces on Saturday tried to capture the insurgent cruiser Guanadara. The vessel poured a hot fire into the at- tacking force at close quarters and drove them off after inflicting heavy loss on them. Siege of Bage Abandoned. NEW YORK, Jan. 16.—The Herald's Mon- tevideo, Uruguay, special says: Information has been received here from the Rio Grande do Sul frontier that the insurgents have abandoned the siege of Bage, owing to the near approach of a strong government force, which has been sent to the garrison’s relief. It_is said that Gen. Tavares before leav- ing Bage beheaded all of the loyal prisoners he had made. Late reports received here from Bage give particulars of an important govern- ment victory. Rebels Put to Rout. They are to the effect that after the reb- els had executed their prisoners and were retreating from Bage they were intercepted by the government relief column and a hot fight followed. Tavares’ forces were quickly put to flight, but not until they had left 400 dead on the field. The loyalist loss was only four offi- cers and thirty-six men killed and nine others wounded. REPULSED THE ANARCHISTS. They Attempted to Sieze the City Car- rara. ROME, Jan. 16.—There is considerable ex- citement today at Carrara and vicinity. The discovery Saturday night of an anar- chist plot to loot and burn the city of Car- rara led the police and military authorities to take extraordinary precautions to pre- vent any attempt to carry out the plans of the conspirators. Early today a number of anarchists from the adjoining districts sought to enter the city, but were prevented by the military. A number of shots were exchanged by the ricters and the troops, but so far as known nobody was hurt. Finding that it was im- Possible for them to get into the city, where, there is no doubt, they intended to join the anarchist residents in the city in rioting, the mob scattered in different di- rections. ‘They are now scouring the country, car- rying terror to the quiet people living there. ‘They go te every house and demand of the occupants to surrender whatever firearms they may have. OPENING OF THE DIET. They Attempted to Seize t City of Carrara. Copyright, 1894, by the United Press. BERLIN, Jan. 16.—The Prussian diet was opened today by the emperor in per- son. The ceremony took place in the white hall of the castle at 11:20 o'clock. It re- sembled that which marked the opening of the reichstag, except that the dais be- hind the throne was decorated with the royal purple flag instead of the gold and red imperial standard., In the speech opening the session his majesty declared that the deficit in Prus- sian finances amounted to 25,000,000 marks. This was due to the decrease in railway earnings and an increase in the matricu- , lar payments made by the kingdom. He added that an organic financial re- form in the kingdom was necessary. The difficulties arising from agrarian distress must first be relieved. The present agri- cultural department was not pleasing owing to the acrimony among those belonging to it was desirable to reconcile its work- ings with the welfare of the fatherland. His majesty announced that a bill would be introduced in the dist to promote agri- cultural interests. The speech was received in silence by the members of the diet. GENERALLY SATISFIED. How Foreign Representatives at Chi- engo Regarded the Fair. LONDON, Jan. 16.—The report of the British consul at Chicago on the recent ex- position there was issued by the foreign of- fice today. In it the consul says that per- haps owing to the McKinley bill the Brit- ish exhibits were Hmited in number, but their quality was excellent. The report adds that other countries vied in their ex- hibits of what had heretofore been special British products. Foreign countries were generally satisfied with the exhibition, and believed that its effect would be to extend their commerce with the United States. WILL SOON BE ENDED.

Harris and Watkins, the colored pugi- lists, met at the opera house at Jackson- vine, Fla., last night under articles of agreement identical with those signed by Corbett and Mitchell, and were not inter- fered with. The meeting was under the supervision of the chief of police, and the referee was vested with power to stop the mill whenever it reached a point indicating danger to life and limb. When time was called at 9 o'clock there was a large crowd present. As soon as time was called the two negroes went at it viciously. After some sharp in-fighting they broke away, and almost immediatety Watkins got an opening and landed a heavy right on Harris’ stomach, following it up with a savage swing that caught his opponent on the corner of the left eye, the blood spurting from the blow. This was too hot for Harris, and he refused to con- tinue, saying he had been drunk all day and was in no condition to fight. The de- cision therefore went to Watkins, also four- fifths of the $50 purse, the other $10 going to Harris. Time, 1:20. This summary end of the bout by ro means pleased the crowd, and they begun to shou! ‘Fake, fake.” The management then wanted to put up local talent again-t Watkins, but Chief of Police Keefe said that the license called for a meeting be- tween ‘Harris and Watkins, and no other men would be allowed to fight under that license, Then the management urged Harris to continue the fight, but Deputy Sheriff Vin- zant arose and said if the men went to- gether as they had done he would arrest ;them. The men then sparred four friendly rounds, Watkins outpointing Harris. The blow Harris received over the eye was a terrible one, and blood streamed down his face as he sparred. Watkins’ left eye was also cut. The club people were disappointed that the state authorities took no action to stop the contest. They were hopeful till the Jast moment that Gov. Mitchell would interfere, thereby showing his hand and giving them an idea of what might be expected if Cor- bett and Mitchell met, but the governor, it is sald, has never intended to interfere with the fight between the negroes, believing that it was simply a “dummy” affair ar- ranged by the club to draw him out, with the intention of gaining some point in the legal complications which state interference would have brought about, which might be used to advantage In the attempt to bring Corbett and Mitchell together. The governor, however, is rather “foxy” {himself, and so he kept his hands off the negroes, and Is still free to carry out bis intentions in regard to the Corbett-Mitchell fight without running counter to a decision from any court in Jacksonville? The club people know this, and they feel that the governor has cleverly eluded the share which has been set for him. The impression is that at present the governor has the club in a hole, so far as pulling off the big mill is concerned, There will be a meeting of the business men of Jacksonville tonight to protest against the action of Gov. Mitchell in or- dering troops to Jacksonville on the occa- sion of the Corbett-Mitchell fight. A pro- test against this action ts being numeroasly signed by leading business men. = THEY WERE TIRED. Pugilists Were Very Careful Not to Hurt Each Other. Two or three hundred men gathered at G. A. R. Hall, 7th and L streets, last evening to witness a series of sparring bouts under the auspices of the Earl Athletic Club of Georgetown, and long before the exhibition was over the great majority of those pres- ent were rather sorry that they had parted with their ducats to witness about the tamest so-called sparring bouts ever before seen in this vicinity. The gloves used were of the dimensions of pillows und about as soft, and rarely indeed were the blows more than love pats. The crowd was there to witness slugging, and often it expressed its disapproval of the tameness of the exhibi- tion by hisses and by imploring the men not to hurt each other. Mr. Charles Sheperd acted as master of ceremonies, and Mr. King of the C. A. C. officiated as referee. ers, aged ten and eleven, respectively, gave a very creditable exhibition of friendly spar- ring, and then John Lash and John Me- Carty, the latter of Philadelphia, sparred three three-minute rounds. Ben Mullen and Fred Moore, same, and Tony Stannard, the lightweight champion of Wilmington, and John Glynn, the conqueror of Joe Bateman, exhibited themselves. Mike Raedy and Ed Roach fol- lowed, and then what was intended to he the attraction of the evening—six two-min- ute rounds between Cal McCarty and Joe Bateman—closed the evening's program, Young McCarty of Buffalo taking the place of Cal. This bout was as tame as the oth- ers, and before it was concluded many re- tired from the hall with a very tired feeling. afb Knocked Down by a Grip Car. Daniel Milligan, aged fifty-three years, was knocked jown by grip car No. 70 on Pennsylvania avenue near 4 1-2 street last evening and injured about the head. He was sent to the Emergency Hospital. pa eee A Cutting Affray.

BALTIMORE, Jan. 16, 1894. “The proposed electric railway and boule- vard between Washington and Baltimore will be built and the cars will be making regular trips between the two cities early next fall. The money is already paid in to complete the road and equip it, and as soon as certain necessary preliminaries are satisfactorily arranged, the work will be commenced and completed as rapidly as it can. possibly be done.” The above statement was recently made to the Baltimore correspondent of The Star by Mr. Nicholas P. Bond of Morrison, Munnikhuyeen and Bond, attorneys for the Baltimore Traction Company, and also a’ torneys for the company which controls the franchise and will build and operate the Proposed electric road between this city and the national capital. While the two companies, namely, the Traction Company of Baltimore and the Boulevard Company, are separate and dis- tinct organizations, yet the controlling in- terests in both are owned by the well- known Philadelphia capitalists, Messrs. Widener and Elkins, represented here by the banking house of Hambleton & Co. and Messrs. Morrison, Munnikhuysen and Bond, attorneys. Mr. Howard Munnikhuy- sen, Senator Arthur P. Gorman and other prominent Marylanders are also stockhold- ers in the Boulevard Company and are tak- ing great interest in the preliminary steps necessary to the building and operating of this new enterprise, and the development ard improvement of the property along the route of the boulevard and the branch roads which will be built as feeders to the main system. More Privileges Wanted. ‘The state legislature now in session will be asked to amend the charter of the com- pany in several particulars, and especially to allow the amount of the capital stock to be increased. What the special amendments to be asked of the general assembly are is not known, but one will be certain rights over the streets of Baltimore at the points of entry into the city, and on the highways over which the tracks will pass on their way to the center of the town. The prob- abilities are that what is known as the Ed- mondson avenue line will be used, and con- poe will be made with the tracks oper- ated by the Traction Company, which now form a network of rails leading to almost every point in Baltimore, crossing the prin- cipal streets and passing along one side of the city hall and post office. The traction ine crosses Baltimore street at four princi- pal points in the heart of the city—at Hol- i liday street, at North and South streets, by the Sun and American offices; at Charles street, by the Herald office, and at Howard street, winding thence through the narrow thoroughfares of the business part of town. No trouble is anticipated by those in- | terested in securing all the further rights the company may ask for at the hands of the general assembly and the city council. While the new road will undoubtedly for a time after its operation begins affect the receipts of the two steam roads having ines between Washington and Baltimore it 1s anticipated that its construction will open up a new field and in time build up a trade of its own. Indeed it is stated that no opposition whatever is expected from the Pennsylvania company, which owns the Baltimore and Potomac road, but on the contrary the influence of the Pennsylvania people is said to be decidedly in favor of the enterprise. The Baltimore and Ohid people, however, are expected by the Boule- | Yard company to declare war and fight ; them with all their power and influence in their endeavor to secure additional priv- ileges of any sort. In fact, it is claimed by the promoters of the new enterprise that the Baltimore and Ohio corporation will throw every possible obstacle in the path of the new company and do all in its power to keep it from gaining any more privileges from the authorities of this city and state. Alleged Rallroad Hostility. The following. among others, are the reasons given by the boulevard people for j the alleged hostility on the part of the Bal- timore and Ohio company. It is well known that for years the section of the Baltimore and Ohio systen) known as the Washington branch, comprising the line between Balti- more and Washington, has been one of the best paying pleces of railway property in the country. When the other parts of that great rcad were either not paying at all or else paying very iitUle over the cost of | operation and repair,theWashington branch invested. The friends of the Pennsylvania company claim, so the boulevard people say, that the new road will not injure their business. The Ba'timore and Ohio people, they fur- ther say, make no such claim. On the con- trary, a8 the proposed boulevard will be at all points near the line of the Baltimore and Ohio, running just north of it, it is thought that it may take from its’ trade. The Pennsylvania tracks are still further south of the Baltimore and Ohio and thi new road will reach none of the local towns on that line. Hence, the alleged apathy or friendship of the Pennsylvania company and the alleged hostility of the other great corporation is accounted for. Whether this alleged hostility will in the end prove an insurmountable obstacle to the accomplish- ment of the plans of the boulevard com- pany, cannot be foretold, but the promot- ers of the scheme are apparently not afraid but what they will overcome all opposition and secure all they want in the way of additional privileges. The line of the boulevard will, as near as possible, follow the old Baltimore and Washington turnpike. Branches will be built, it ts said. to outlying towns, and new towns will be laid out on the property owned gr to be purchased by the company. Trees will be planted along the entire route, the promoters say, and everything will be done in the way of concessions and the granting commutations to encourage peo- elles to build houses and take up their residence along the line. vtricity will houses and for other domestic purposesand the power houses of the company will not cnly furnish the motive power for the cars, but also can supply light and heat for those who dwell along the line. Large Plans in View. The sections of the boulevard near the towns already built, or to be built, on its route, will be made, it is claimed, especially | fine. Excellent roadbeds will be construct- | ed, the promoters assert, and, as soon as | possible, the whole stretch between this city and the national capital will be made into & fine driveway for the use of those who may take up their homes on its bor- ders as well as for others. The driveways will be wide enough for ali purposes, so that no excuse may be given any one to encroach on the railway tracks and thus interfere with the rapid movement of the cars. The company, it is claimed, will not end with doing what is enumerated above. The certainty that a large population will set- tle along the line, and the fact that in the course of a few years at most it is expected the boulevard will be almost one continuous residence avenue, lined with cottages, villas and even costly mansions, from one city to another, will necessitate the furnishing will be done, 2 through works built and mains laid by the company operating the road, or by an auxiliary company controlled by the same management. In fact, it is proposed by this company to furnish not only the means of transporta- tion to the large population which it is anticipated will have their homes on their lines and be their patrons, but also to fur- nish them with light, water, and, as the in- ventions of the future may warrant, with electricity for heating their houses and cooking their food as well. The work done up to date has not been much, but it is sufficient, it is claimed, to show that business is meant and to secure the rights guaranteed by the charter of privileges already granted, and to warrant the company in the request which it will make at the present session of the general assembly to enlarge and extend those priv- ileges in certain necessary and important particulars. paid largely and unceasingly on the capital | ple of moderate means from both the great | be furnished by the company to light the | INDEX TO ADVERTISEMENTS.

HEC WINTER RESORTS... | ANOTHER FOOD sHOW. Light Infantry Armory the Scene of a Large Gathering. Another pure fopd exposition opened last night at Washington Light Infantry Ar- mory Hall. The ceremony was accomplish- ed in a blaze of electric light, social glory, rich music, fluttering bunting and fragrant scents. The attendance choked the aisles and made pilgrimages from booth to booth no easy task. The percentage of ladies was unusual, and they laughed at the big time they had and smiled at the great sights they saw. anes eee eee eee ple. One ran against everybody one knew. It was a gay, bright crowd; happiness was stamped on every face. Groups hung | around the buckwheat booths, where ex- hibitors served up the dainty articles of | diet from red-hot griddles. All the stands and places of refreshment had their pat- | rons. Pure grape juice and wild cherry | beverages flowed by the barrel, and hun- dreds of people ate butterine on hot waffies and looked satisfied. Sweet pickles was another dish liberally served, and small bottles of beer and tiny kegs of tomato catsup were dealt to the visitors with a iibera} hand. The floral display was commendable and nosegays and bouttonieres were dispensed by gracious girls. The Royal Hungarian Band, the Romany’s, held forth from the balcony, and although much of the fine | music was lost in the noise of the crowd, the musicians were able to prove that their reputation is a merited one. Among their ‘mumbers last night were an overture, “Food Exposition,” dedicated to the event by Dr. Leo Sommer, director of the band: an Ladies, Szaley; Schubert's with people, who listened attentively to the music and watched the moving pictures below. The excellence of the display is worthy of remark, both from decorative and architectural standpoints. Many of the booths are tented and draped in colored silks. The butterine display occupies the center of the hall. The booth is cctagonal in shape, covered with pink silk and radi- ant’ with incandescent lamps and flowers. Four pretty girls, dressed in pink silk and wearing pink roses in their hair, tickle the palates of the populace with the product. | Nine world’s fair prize winners have ex- hibits in the exposition. Their displays are costly; some of the. booths, so the re- | porter for The Star was told, having cost as much as $1,500. The exposition will con- tinue until February 3. The management express satisfaction with the opening night, and the prospects for a successful fun are bright. Mra. Rorer’s Lectures. Mrs. S. T. Rorer, the culinary demonstra- tor who gave daily lectures at the world’s fair, and who is the editress of the House- jhold News of Philadelphia, was present, and held a reception. Visitors crowded around her and plied her with questions. She took the whole thing in proper spirit and answered in an easy way. She will lecture each afternoon on good things and how to make them. This afternoon at 4 o'clock she will lecture on quick soups and will tell all the secrets of oyster bisque, celery cream arid soup a la Reine. To- | morrow afternoon her theme will be light and simple side dishes. Among the conspicuous exhibitors are | Wilkins Brothers, butterine; Barber & | Ross, stoves and ranges; Knox's sparkling |calves’ foot gelatine; Welche’s grape juice; H. J. Heinz & Company, pickles and condiments; Pabst Brewing Co. of Mil- waukee; George Boyd & Sons, Queen syrup; Hammond Wine Company; Harkin- son Kitchen Cabinet Table Company, Phil adelphia; Henderson’s Wild Chery bever- “we: N. Studer, flowers; Gill, candies; Mertz, toilet articles, and so on throughout the exposition. —— LIGHTING THE Gas, It Takes Some Time to Illuminate the Senator Chamber. The Senate Friday afterncon had an apt illustration of the antiquity of the methods ,of lighting in use at the Capitol. ‘These illustrations are not infrequent, but they are being noticed more and more as j time goes by and the eyes of the statesmen grow weaker. Senator Turpie was talkin, reading his speech with difficulty in the tw light that trickled through the glass ceil- ing. Finally it occurred to him what was |the trouble, and he murmured something jabout its being dark. Thereupon, Senator Harris, who exercises a genial control of things mundane over his corner of the | chamber, snapped his fingers at a page, ana ordered some light. Under ordinary and modern circumstances | this order might have been complied with within two seconds. The page would have gone to the wall of the chamber, and turn- ing a knob would have instantly illumin- ated the entire room with a flood of beau- tiful light. That is what the pages or the | deputies will do in the Senate a year or so from now. But during these piping times of economy the process is different. What happened Friday afternoon was a sampl A page ran over to the office of the se: geant-at-arms, who sent a man to tell the other man in charge of the lights to send one of his men to the roof to turn on the gas. Then the electric spark had to be | switched in to the wires, and just two min- utes and twenty seconds after Senator Har- ris had snapped his fingers the first boom of the gas came and the ceHing was begin- ning to glow. Of course the difference be- tween two seconds and two minutes and a third is infinitesimal in p) to sena- torial haste, but it shows what might be were the Capitol fitted with modern con- ventences. The subcommittee of the committee on rules, having the matter in charge, Senators Gorman and Manderson, have done nothing of late in the matter, as they do not care to press the project, which will call for an expenditure of about $200,000, during these days of economy. They may take up the question after the new bonds are issued. +2 +_______ Tickets free, food exposition, page 5.—Advt. —— Fire yesterday afternoon gutted the cen- ter section of the Syndicate block, on Nicol- let avenue, Minneapolis, Minn., and de- stroyed $98,000 worth of property.
