There was great excitement in the oily as
the fire from thoshlps was directed against

, frrees snlTered heavy losses , but tlie
government is suppressing all report * of tlie
casualties. The rebel warship Aquidaban ,
Mcllo's llafshlp , opened the bombardment.
There was a contest for the possession of the
government workshops at Armacao between
HID revolutionary forces and tlioso of the
government. When Mello realized that lie
could not obtain possession of them poaco-

ment was very destructive. Many oulldlngs
were badly damaged. Residents of tlio city

A shell from the Nnjado fell in the center
of the city , and the buildings occupied
by the Klo News awl the American

foreigners wcro killed and wounded.
Among the buildings which suffered
fjrontly from the bombardment were the
police barracks , which arc situated near the
customs house.
The government forces numbered 2,000
unit replied vigorously to the llro from thu
lleot. The land batteries had a few old
Krupp ( runs mounted , and these were
trained on the ships. .Thoy were not effec

the ships wore injured.

WASIIINOTON , Oct. 15. |
In reply to many Inquiries from Nebraska
and Iowa which Tnc Hcc correspondent has
received during the past week relative to
the truthfulness of iho reports that the
wrangle over the silver repeal bill , Iho pro
position to issue bonds and abolish the tax
upon state bank circulation , would defeat
the final adoption of any tari IT bill , it can bo
stated that all is yet In doubt. It is true
that the manner in which the majority lit
congress straichtens out the entanglements
over the silver repeal bill will determine the
fate of tariff "revision. " There is an clement
among the northern democrat * ! hi Iho senate
which Is demanding with offensive ness tbo
repeal of the stale bank lax , whllo
it declares it will never submit
lo a bond Issue. Anolhcr element of
democratic senators , thrnovlio stand for
the unconditional repeal of the silver law ,
are just now showing a disposition to rob
the republican ropealtsts of any credit what
ever for the battle which has been for
nearly three months waging against the
sliver purchasing law , and they say , as It
now appears , nrr.iugo a compromise which
will transfer to Ihc column of the democratic
administration every atom of credit , for llio
compromise.
Minority Not Yol Conquered.
If this should be done ; If Iho largo body
of republicans In both the ho use nnd senate.
who have stood by n demorratlo president
for unconditional repeal , are robbed of all
credit for patriotism and work and an effort
is niudo to glorify Mr. Cleveland in the
wind-utof ) this sliver battle , thuro may bo
no tariff bill passed by the senate during the
next two years. If there is a fal" and
kindly disposition shown m tlio settlement
of Ibis contest over silver , and lull credit Is
accorded the republicans who have shown
Unit the Interests of tlio country rlso above
p.irtislan considerations , thevo will bo a
tariff bill go llirouuli the senate at t tin regu
lar session , which begins in December. It
will bo a tariff bill , however , which will not
materially damage the Intcrcslsof American
industries.
11 will be comp.iralivcly easy , however , to
so rnfllo Ihc spirits of Iho minority in the
senate as to warrant It in refusing to allow
any tarill' bill to bo passed. Twice during
Iho Insl decade has Iho house passed demo
cratic tariff measures which met the ap
proval of tlio majority in the senate , al
though the latter body was controlled by the
republicans , but each limo it was decreed
that the bill should not be passed , and al
though it received consideration in the senate -
ate , it did not roauli a final vote.
It will bo some days ! before the fate of the
now tariff bill is known. If all matters
relating to the silver repeal bill pass
smoothly by there will be a clianco for a
tariff measure to go through iho senate.
Hut any indecent treatment of the ronubli-
cans by the majority , when It comes to stale
bank lax and Ihc bill repealing Ihc federal
elections law , may oven , though there is fair
ness in dotcrmtnliig thu silver question , put
the tariff bill to rent. Thq minority in the.
senate is tentative , it is sensitive , it is
powerful , and it cannot bo run over , as we
have seen. Just now the democrats in the
.cnate . are not referring in kindly terms to
lie republicans , and bud blood is being en
gendered.

"I want to say to you right hero and now
that If Vice President Stevenson at any time

natch him out of the chair Iho-11101110111 ho
ecognl/es a motion lo stop debate and take a

This utterance was made to Tin : HUB cor-
espondeiit ten days agu by one of Iho most
.imminent and influential of the free silver
senators. lie said it in answer lo my ques
tion as to what would bo done by the silver
senators if. as reported , the vice presi
dent should , place In the chair Sen
ator Uaslibnrn of Minnesota or Scu-
11 tor Hill of Now York with the under
standing thai they were to freeze
out the unti-rcpcnllBts nnd recognize a
motion to lake a vole. I was surprised lo
learn a couple of days afterward Hint two
oilier brawny and nervy silver senators "had
made the. same observation ; and I have not
the least doubt that they all meant what
they said. For fully ten days iho scnato
was in a mood for fighting , and if any undue
advnnlagc had been attempted against the
silver senators there is no doubt that the
sceuo of fist lighting which was presented
in the House of Commons , British Parlia
ment , during the closing deltaic upon tlio
Irish homo rule bill would have been dupli
cated.

THIS WtiKK IN CONfittliSi.
N'llilt Wilt lln DIIIIK Timiird t-'orrlnc Silver
Oct. 15.-Tho Wlson-Voor-
bees repeal bill , or a substltuto for It. will
again this week command the exclusive at-
lentlon of the senate , bill the indications
now are that this will bo the last WCPK lor
the present session given to the subject in
the senate. If the compromise does not en
counter unexpected obstacles , the substitute
will be prepared for introduction by tlio
middle of Iho week. It Is a part of the
program not lo Introduce the bill until as-
suraiicoof suflli'lcnt support to secure Its
passage is received. Consequently , when
the bill Is once presented In the
senate It will be generally understood thai
the cud is In sight. There will bo some
brief speeches in explanation. If not In de
fense ol the measure , and some long speeches
In opposition to It. Doing a compromise
measure it will represent , no ono man's
views and It will not bo sitisfactory to any
one. It will no a composite picture of the
opinions of Senators Cockrcll , Jones of Ar
kansas , Harris , Paul knur , Corman , Ur.iy ,
Hill and many other democratic senators ,
with a snap shot at iho theories of some of
the republican senators as well. As a
consequence no ono of , them will see
himself In it. No more will it bo familiar to'
Iho liking of any one section of the country ,
but it will probably go through as Intro
duced and become a law. The senators from
the silver producing states will bo ttio most
vigorous In their expression of disappoint
ment. Vet it is barely possible that some of
them will vole for it. They will ilo so , If
necessary , lo pet the bill through and in
doing so will not bo Inconsistent. They will
take Iho bill as a choice of evils If It should
prove to bo at all favorable to silver.
l''itvnrnliln to SIIvt > r
As a matter of fact , as tho. hill is now out
lined , It is really more favorable to Uio while
metal than Ihc silver men have hoped for at
any time since Senator Voorhocs announced
his adherence to the repealers. It Is prob
able. however , thai the snna'.ors of the silver
producing stales will not find It necessary to
vote for tlio bill. The compromise workers
are not yet hopeless of securing the assent
of almost all tlio repeal leaders on the demo
cratic side and of making the substitute n
party measure just , as under the advice of
Senator ( lOrman. they attempted at the bo-
L'lniiiiicr of the session to make Iho original
bill. If they do not gel thu support of the
entire party in the senate they will probably i
bo able to got a sufficient number of voles
from ainopg the repeal republicans to guar
antee the success of the bill. ,
There are known to bo several , repub
licans on the repeal side wlwso unfriendli
ness to silver is ot so mild a kind that they
will bo more than willing to see it retain a
fair degree ot recognition In this country.
If , therefore , the bill should cpmo In with a
limitation in point of limo and amount of
silver purchases , with a provision for bonds
for the preservation of the parity of gold
and silver ami without any reference to the
removal of tlie state bank lax , as it now
promises , it would secure support from the
repeslers on that side of tbu uliimb"r : if nec
essary for ils passage. The democratic sen
ators who are holding out ttic most sillily
against compromise are the personal cham
pions of Iho president , like Voorhoes ,
Palmer. Mills , Smith ami Vllas ,
What ilia IlniiHOV1II Ai-oopt.
Tlio belief is the house will accept almost
any substilulc the senate will auopt nnd
a majority incline to the. opinion that the
nrcsident will sign the bill-when it shall
reach him. There are a great many mem
bers of'lho house who voleTd for repeal who
desire an opportunity to show that they are
not so antagonistic to silver as their former
vote would indicate. They also want the
question settled. Thcro is also a gener.il no-
lief tliat when the bill is once signed there
will bo a speedy movement ia congress look
ing to n recess until Iho beginning of Iho
regular session on Uio firsf. Monday in D -
ccmbcr. The outlook , therefore , for the
senate this week is that Senators Jones ,
Peffor and Martin will conclude speeches
already begun , that Senators Voorhces ,
Allen and Slowart may also have some con
cluding words to utter , nnd that the compro
mise bill will bo brought in and while it will
possibly bo immediately accepted , there will
be some more oratory before It is put through ,
The recess is not possible before the week
after next.
In tlio llnnti * .
Several important matters figure in the
louse horoscope for thj ! coining week. The
McCrcary bill , to extend the provisions of
ho Geary act for six months , will go to a
, -oto tomorrow afternoon at : i o'clocl ; and
vill undoubtedly pass by a largo majority ,
lesplto Iho opposition of the PnclIU ; coast
Members. It is Imrdly probable that olthor
of tho" three amendments offered by Mr.
3cary will carry , alllioiigli Ihero is a possl-
nlity that the one requifine photographic
denliflcallon and , possibly , the ono defining
a Chinese merchant , may secure the support
ot a minority.
Tlio McCroarj bill will bo followed by the
Cox hill to prevent hank directors or official : )
Vom drawing out of institutions with which
, hey are connected. Tins bill , too , seems to
"lavo the sentiment of tlin house behind it ,
nut several inodlllcations limy be suggested

As soon as the above bills are disposed of a

Will Mnr Illtlur OppiiHllloii.
While there Is ii big majority in Iho house
favorable lo a general bankruptcy bill , If Iho
sentiment of lliu last house is any Indication ,
[ i has some very bitter opponents. It was
lefe.Ued in the last congress last session.
The special order , however , would disarm
the filibusters this limo ; but Iho opponents
will muko a very hard l ) ht against il. They
will bo led by Judge Ciilhorson of Texas and
supported by Hallcy and Kllgoro of the
same stato. Inasmuch tu Calborsoa Is con.
sldcrcd ono of the best lawyers in Iho housu
and , an chairman of the Judiciary committee ,
they count upon winning ivar many of the
advocates of the bill duiltlt ; 'Iho debate. If
they fall In defeating the ? measure , llioy ex

Oct. 15. The resolution
passed relating to the receivership of the
Union Pacillc railway and calling upon Iho
attorney general to Inform Iho bouse about
the legislation , if any , in order to secure tlie
indebtedness of thai company to the govern
ment , may result in some Important develop
ments in the relations of that com
pany and the government. The relations
between the government unit the coiiipnuv
were materially altered when the rofid went
Into the bauds of receivers , not so much i
from a legal standpoint as by Iho Thurman
act. Tlio government obtained it lien on all
properties of the company , but the insol
vency of the company renders it impossible
'for ' it to discharge its obligations to the gov
ernment when they mature. It gives the
receivers , uiuter the common law. power lo
convert assets Into cash and empowers
them to issue receivers' certificates to op
erate the road. Then those would constitute
n Hen paramount to thai of iho United Stales
Some of tno bonds mature In 1S'I. ' * > , and if
matters with the road go badly under Hie
rr-celvct ship Iho result inlcht b : ; to throw
the government's claims and all other liens
into the court , with tin- inevitable effect of
great loss to the government's interest.
DnrlliiiMt Hi Discus * Aliittum.
Mr. Koilly , the pivsont chairman of the
coinmltlce on Pacillc railroads , declined to
discuss iho resolution in an Interview with
n reporter of the Associated press.
Mr. Outbwivito of Ohio , the former chair
man of that committee , saidThe : princi
pal debt of the Union Pacillc , including the
ICnnsus Pacillc. to the government is &iMi- : ! ( ) |
ODD in bonds , which were issued to assist In
building ' the roads. These bonds wore issued
every time a section of twenty miles in
length of the road was built. They began to
bo issued in 1801-05 and had thirty years to
run. As the interest was (1 ( per cent and but
very little has been paid upon it , the amount
of Interest Is mlich more than the a-nount of
the i.rincipal. "
"Doyou ; Ihlnk the rights of the govern
ment are endangered by Uic company being
put In tbo hands of a recelverf" ho was
asked ,
"Not necessarily. It will be the duty of
the government to be made a uarty to Iho
relation and the attorney general to'seo that
the management of the road under tlja
receiver is not wasteful and destructive.
Thu object of having a receiver appointed , as
I understand it , was to preserve the property
of the company and lo enable it to lido over
its present embarrassment. "
"Have von any suggestions as to further
legislation to protect the interest of the
governnientC'
"Yes ; I would suzgcst the Immediate pas
sage of tin act increasing the number of
directors of the road , which Ihc government
may appoint , lo such an extent as the gov
ernment directors should constitute a minor
ity of the hoard. I would authorize the
company to refund the llrst mortgage debt ,
which , by the way , equals in amount Urn
princip.il debt to the govormmmt. It
might be better to extend both these debts
for a period of fifty years , dividing
the bonds into three series. The first scries
1 should make 4 ner cert bonds , issuing to
an extent sufficient lo pay olT the first mort
gage indebtedness. The second series T
should make : $ , ' < per cent bonds' issuing
thonvin an amount sufl ! lent to pay oft the
principal of the debt duo the government ,
so the government should receive the nav-
incnt of the principal ut this time. The
third series 1 should issue in amount equal
to iho interest duo the government , at , u low
rale of interest , to tie delivered to the
government. "
.Sliiinlit ll < > iKiiorml.
"Hut suppose this plan of yours U found
impracticable ? "
"Well , In that easel should nuthori/o the
govcrninenl directors to present to congress
a plan for the roorani/.alion of tlio road in
such a way as to be best for the government
that is possible , without any regard
whatever to the present stock
holders. ' They should bo entitled
to no consideration whatever before
the government. Of course , as I am no
longer a member of the committee on Pacific
railroads ; I have not matured the plan which
1 am suggestion. I'll is Is but a suggestion.
If the bill which I hud Iho honor to report
from thu committee in the Fiftieth congress
"iail been passed , the government would al
ready have rocolve'd a considerable portion
if the principal of tlio debt due It , or the
road would have Oeforo this boon ajld or ro-

hope lo have Iho larlfT bill reported within : v

iible progress lias been made with the bill.
1'ho republican members of the conunittoo

pressing business out of iho way In order
that the tarln" bill may have a clear flcjd
when it U reported. .Members of the ma
jority say that everybody experts a change
in tariff rates , and it is well for business
men lo know nt an early dale what changes
may be looked for In Iho house bill. Great

from Cuba and , perhaps , from Spain , and
one or two points In Canada. Another ere
that .vill probably bo restored lo the free
list is lead. This lead ore Is largely Imported
from Muxlco and Is used for gniclting. Ono
Knnsay City concern has paid about t'OO.OOO
duty on load ere so imported since the Mo-
Kinloy law went into effect. The binultern
on iho southwestern border have aUo i.sicud
that this duty bo remitted. The- mining
states , or some of thorn , will try to prevent
the restoration of free lead ere , but it scorns
to have been determined upon.
