Allen sued for the recovery of moneys alleged to be due for drawbacks under the tariff act of 1888 on imported bituminous coal used on board vessels engaged in the coasting trade of the United States. The question is of very great financial importance to the gov- ernment, involving, if the judgment of the court of appeals is correct, the refunding of large amounts of money heretofore col- lected. o- —___ No Outbreak Thought Probable. No information has been received at the Indian bureau concerning the reputed out- break of Indians from the Apache reser- vation. In the face of the fact that the bureau has direct telegraphic communica- tion with the agency and with both of the military posts mentioned in the telegraphic reports of the outbreak, the Indian office thinks the outbreak has been exaggerated. Otticials do not doubt that Clark was set upon by Kid, who is an outlaw, and his gang, but they do not believe any outbreak has occurred. Davids Island Court-Martial.

RIO DE JANEIRO, Feb. 5.—Later in- formation concerning the intended landing of the insurgents in the neighborhood of Nictheroy show that it was the intention of Admiral Da Gama to send his forces ashore on Sunday morning, and that from the advices which he had received from the insurgent agents ashore the admiral was led to believe that two regiments of the national guard would join issue with the insurgents the moment the latter landed. It is added, however, that the plot leaked out, and the insurgents were compelled to amd their contemplated attack until But, up to the hour this dispatch is filed, ; the insurgents have not made any attack ; upon Nictheroy, and unless some decided change takes place soon in the attitude of the national guard at Nictheroy, it is prob- able that the guardsmen will remain loyal to President Peixoto, and that the insur-; gents will have to still further postpone their decisive attempt to capture the city mentioned. The supporters of the government -say that Admiral da Gama’s announced inten- tion of making an attack in force yesterday or today upon Nictheroy is only another “bluff” upon the part of the rebel com- mander, who is said to lack the energy and ability necessary to successfully carry out any such plan. Bie ees WILL BE UNABLE TO ATTEND. The President Cannot Go to Mr. Childs’ Funeral, PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Feb. 5.—The ar- Tangements for the funeral of George W.

Prior to the public services in St. James’ Protestant Episcopal Church, at 1 p.m., a short service for the immediate family will be held at the Childs’ residence at 2:30. President Cleveland and Secretary Gres- ham this morning telegraphed their inabil- ity to attend the funeral owing to the fact that tomorrow will be cabinet day.

The death of Coleridge Domer Alieman, eldest son of John S. and Delia Domer Alle- man of Harrisburg, which occurred here this morning between 6 and 7 o'clock, at the residence of his grandparents, Rev. and Mrs. Domer, was a peculiarly sad oc- currence. Mrs. Alleman, who is well known here in the home of her childhood, has been Wésiting Washington since Lecember 26, and had intended to leave for home last Wed- nesday, when her boy was taken ill with diphiheria. By reason of the malignant nature of the disease Mr. Alleman, who bad come to the city to accompany ni family home, was forced to leave the hot and take with him the younger boy, thus cutting him off from all intercourse with his wife and child. The deceased was a bright boy, ten years of age, who was as well known in this city among a wide circle of friends as he was in Harrisburg. The sympathies of hosts of friends go out to his parents and grandparerts in their sor- rowful bereavement. MORE HAWAIIAN RESOLUTIONS. The Debate in the House—What Com- mitteemen Say. It has developed that quite a number of amendments to the present Hawaiian reso- lution in the House are awaiting introduc- tion? One of these is by Representative Black of Illinois, and another by Represen- tative Cockrell of Texas, with the Holman amendment, will make three propositions differing from the McCreary resolution, which seeks to determine the policy of the House on the Hawaiian question. None of the three propositions have yet been submitted to the House, and there is @ prospect that they may even crowded out from presentation by the ti applica- tion of the rule under which Hawaiian debate proceeds. Mr. said today that he was ready to offer his modified resolution, but there — Posed gh to an getting the recognition of the chair for this purpose. Speaker Crisp has already ruled that the McCreary resolution is open to amendment and a substitute, but Messrs. Holman, Black and Cockrell foresee that speeches may continue up to the very mo- ment of 3.30 o'clock tomorrow, when the vote is to be taken without delay for amend ments, substitutes or anthing else. It is understood that the Black and Cockrell amendments are substantially similar to that of Mr. Holman in declaring against American interference in behalf of the monarchy. e What Committeemen Say. Senator Jones (Ark.), a member of the finance committee, says he does not think that hearings will be given on the tariff bill, and that the committee will be ready to report back next week. Senator Voor- hees says the matter will be settled at the meeting of the committee tomorrow. es EVERYBODY PLEASED With the Athletic a Musical Pro- gram of the Colum Athletic Club. Prof. Crossley and his specialty troupe of iron muscled performers from the Colum- bia Athletic Club held forth at the Na- tional Theater on Saturday night, to the de- light of a good-sized audience, in spite of the elements. The entertainment was about half and half athletic and mu- sical, in charge of the amusement commit- tee of the club, the chairmar. of which 1s Mr. C. W. Schneider. Some of. the best mu- sical talent from Washington and outside enlivened the athletic features in a man- ner most pleasing to all there. The boxes contained several parties of the swellest of the swell, and the large ag- gregation of feminine youth and beauty present showed that the entertainment was not lost on them. It is no disparagement, either, but rather a proof of how widely a first-class athletic show is appreciated in this city, to say that the gallery adjacent to the roof was packed with a crowd, both appreciative and unrestrained, who took no trouble to conceal their pleasure, but made {t apparent by hoarse shouts and shrill cat calls all the way through. A Famous Curtain Raiser. The entertainment was opened with the now famous curtain raiser, “Twenty Min- utes Under an Umbrella,” charmingly pre- sented by Miss Daisy Hammack and Mr. Robert Lowe as “Cousin Kati nd Cousin Frank.” After this, athletic and musical features followed each other thich apd fast. Messrs. Sewall, Ross, Hough, Craig, . Duke, Shelly and Prof. Crossley showed up on the horizontal bars in splendid shape, perform- ing some difficult feats. Mr. C. Royce Hough swung clubs in an intricate fashion to the pleasure of all. Fred Watts, jr., and G. W. Stratton gave a wrestling match which was a clear draw. Messrs. Mooney and Sewall and Prof. Crossley went through with an acrobatic act that would have gain- ed applause had it been given at a circus. Messrs. Elder Hough, McElhene, Duke, Shelly, Medairy, Dudley and Birney did ex- cellently in high kicking, jumping and pole vaulting, while Tom Nolan held the Roman ladders as Messrs. Ross, Dickson, Thomp- son, Gould, Shreve, Ball, Griffith and Dean crawled and climbed on them to their hearts’ content. Messrs. S. F. Shreve and Slocum Ball swung high in the air on the flying trapeze, performing difficult feats in midair, while the audience looked and were envious. The sparring bout between J. R. Elder and Oscar Carter was interesting and scientific. Prof. Crossley and his two little acrobats, J. Leo Cassin and Frank Waters, gave an exhibition which was truly wonderful for their age. The Musical Numbers. The musical features consisted of a so- Prano solo from Miss Adelyn Andrews of Norfolk, who sang sweetly ““rne Aipine Valley.” Mr. S. Monroe fabian of Baiti- more gave a couple of piano solos, whicn were good, of course, and Mr. Charles HM. Harding of the same place gave a fing bass solo, The Tuxedo Quartet of Chicago gave several enthusiastic numbers, and Mr. Joe Cullen made a hit, as usual, with nis banjo. ‘Then Mr. Hub ‘T, Smith and Mr. Joe Cullen brought down the house with some comic Songs in costume. Mr. George H. O'Conner captured the audience, as usual, with nis breezy songs, giving them “Some ‘rime Ago” and “You Can't Lose Me, Chari.” Tne last thing of the evening was the pyramids, in which the entire aggregation of performers came on the stage to say good-bye, and in which most of them fig- ured. ‘The making of the pyramids went off perfectly, and was especially commenda- ble for the rapidity with which it was done. |For a finish the entire crowd supported on top of each others’ shoulders, and rising up, rank after rank, cleared their throats, gave the Columbia yell with ali their remaining force and rolled over in a heap of legs and arms on the floor while the curtain went down, and the people filed out, praising tne show in one voice. AMERICAN PLUCK IN AFRICA. Explorer Selous Tells a Graphic Story of Matabeleland. LONDON, Feb. 5.—Mr. F. C. Selous, the explorer, who has just returned from South Africa, where he has been distinguishing himself in the operations against the Mata- beles, tells a graphic story of his experi- ences with the Wilson detachment, recently massacred by the Matabeles. Selous also confirms the statemerts made by Coryndon, the hunter, of the prominent and brilliant part taken by two Americans, Ingram and Burnam, during Capt. Wiison’s pursuit of King Lobengula. Selous’ story he had from the lips of Ingram, and the explorer has no words too strong to praise the dashing and dangerous ride of the two Americans after they left the Wilson party. The natives, says Selous, were keeping up a hot fire from both sides of the valley and the whites answered it steadjly. Wilson called to Burham, the second American, and asked if he thought he could ride back to the main column, commanded | by Maj. Forbes, to get help. To this Bur- m_ replied: will try, major, but 1 should like Fred Ingram to accompany me. ‘apt. Wilson agreed to this, and Selous continuing, says that after leaving their comrades, the Americans first rode down the valley in order to get clear of the Kaffirs in the right hand bushes, and made for the king’s wagon track, which they Were just approaching when they were met by a large body of Matabeles, who opened a heavy fire upon them. But the Americans outflanked them and managed to get clear. No sooner were they clear of the body of the enemy, how- ever, when they came upon a second and much larger force, rapidly advancing through the bushes and evidently bent upon joining in the attack upon the Wilson party. Lut when they saw the two Americans the natives charged upon them, thinking they would be able to surround them, but Burnam and Ingram rode so splendidly and fired with such good effect that they again succ2eded, in spite of the fact that their horses were tired out, in outflanking the swift-footed savages. When the Americans finally got .clear of their brilliant display of generalship, horse- manship and marksmanship, they and their horses were completely exhausted. When questioned as to the state in which they left the Wilson party, replying to the questions of Commissioner Jameson, who asked Ingram if the Wilson party’ could not possibly have outflanked the Kaffirs and retreated down the Shang Ari river, the American replied: “I guess not, doc- tor. Four men had been dismounted and the horses and many of the others were completely done for. Some of those with the best horses might certainly have es- caped, but they were not the clas$ of men to leave their chums. “No, doctor, I guess they fought it right out where they stood.” aS = The Portsmouth at Trinidad.

Impfovements Being Ma4e and Ricent Sales of Property—Various Matters of Interest Beyond Rock Creek. On Friday evening next there will be a big congregational meeting at the Dum- barton Avenue Church for the purpose of formulating preliminary plans for the cele- bration of the seventy-fifth anniversary of the founding of the Sunday school. she services and ceremonies.in honor of the event will be most elaborate and varied. They will probably last all day. The records are now being searched for the names of old Sunday school pupils, superintendenis and pastors, and urgent invitations to be present will be extended to all living. Though there are many in all sections vf the country now, it is believed by the prime movers in the projected celebration that distance and trouble will not prevent hun- dreds from attending. The seventy-fifth anniversary will occur on the second Sun- day in June. Though some think it 4 at arly to begin preparations ee. occas mena ihe. managers believe thet the elaborateness of the proposed program necessitates immediate action. Some Improvements. Architect C. W. Sommerville has drawn plans for a new conservatory addition to the residence of Admiral A. W. Weaver, 2819 N street, corner of 2th. The outside will be finished with galvanized iron, and white pine will be used on the interior.

For the past five years, when it became necessary for the boys of that in- stitution to start out on their own re- sources to begin life, Mrs. Barlowe, the superintendent of the school, brought the |iads to us, and as we have use for boys, | of that age, we most invariably gave them | employment—starting them as cash boys, bundle wrappers or messenger boys—in the | Capacities most suited to them; and as the board of managers of that institution are j Weil aware, we gave employment w many. | These boys were always given preference— | tor the waining they received was so much in their favor. “ney were weil behaved, trutntul, and knew right from wrong. ‘sney were reared in those quauties that are so necessary to boys of Unat age. In pearly all instances they merited and re- ceived promotion, one of the boys reaching the important position of assistant cashier, which Tact in itself speaks volumes for his integrity and ambition. We have now in cur employ severai boys that were reared in the Industrial Home School, and a | brighter and more willing set of boys it | would be ditticult to find. We only cite all this to show that the Industrial Home School Mrs. Barlowe have certainly accomplished a great deal, for which they deserve commendation.
