Clemency Extended to theRebels.

PEIXOTO ISSUES THE DECREE

But None of the Officers AreIncluded.

MUST BE COURT-MARTIALED.

The End of the Brazilian RevolutionIs Hailed With Acclamations by

the Loyal Citizens.

New York, March 14.—

A special to theWorld from Rio de Janeiro says: Thetriumph of the Government of Brazil overthe insurrection begun by Mello and car-ried on in this bay by Da.Gama has beensealed by an act of executive clemency.

Peixoto to-day issued a proclamationdecreeing amnesty for the rebel sailorsand soldiers who surrendered uncondition-ally yesterday, but at the same time he, ineffect, pronounces a sentence of deathupon Admiral da Gama, Admiral deMello and all the officers who were asso- Jciated with them in the rebellion.

The President does not condemn themto be shot in so many words. He simply

j would be taken immediately leading to thedispersal of the American fleet at Rio.

The vessels are the New York, Charles-ton, San Francisco, Detroit and the New-

iark at Montevideo. Probably thej latter will remain there as the, flagship of the South Atlantic squadron,I with the unseaworthy Yantic on the north

coast of Biazil, and perhaps, the San Fran-cis o and tbe New York will come home

I with Admiral Benhatn, who willbe retired* and succeeded in command of the station; by Admiral Stanton.

It is expected that the Charleston willgo round to the Pacific station, while theDetroit will come home to New York, toset at rest certain doubts that havebeen expressed as to her stability. Itmay

be that on her way north she willrun overto Bluefields, Nicaragua.

YELLOW FEVER INCREASING.The Disease Attacks the Crews of

Warships.Montevideo. March 14.—The Herald's

correspondent in Rio Janeiro, writingunder date of March 8, reports that yellow

fever is increasing to an alarming extentin the city. There were at that date morethan 150 cases in the city and the deathrate was very heavy.

The merchant ships in the harbor sufferseverely from the epidemic The entirecrews oleight British vessels were stricken.The bospi at Jurujuba are filled withfever-stricken patients from the crews offoreign warmiDs.

Captain Sturgis of the American shipSantuit, which towed the Pratany. died ofthe disease. The streets of Rio are in ahorrible condition. Filth prevails every-where and no attempt has been made toremove it, and to this is largely due thespread of the pestilence.

announces his determination to subjectthem to a trial by court-martial. The con-demned chiefs of the revolt will have tobe caught, however, before the death pen-alty can be inflicted.

Da Gama and bis officers, it is nowlearned, sought an asyl um on the Frenchcruiser Macon. That is the warshipwhich sailed from here at 3 o'clock in theafternoon.Itis the current belief here that tbe in-

tention was to take the rebel officers to theneutral port of Montevideo, in Uruguay,though it is possible they may bave beenput ashore oc the coast where they couldjoin Mello.

Mello was seen in Montevideo a weekago, the World's correspondent hasgood authority for saying, and it wasthought that he had fled from Brazil,but a subsequent report fromArgentina says that he, with the Aquida-ban and Republlca, is at Ihla Grande,which is only about seventy miles to tbesouth of Rio.

The sympathizers with the insurrectionloudly denounce Da Gama for cowardiceand bad faith in running away.

There is great rejoicing in this city overthe victory in the bay, as itis confidentlybelieved that It will be virtually a termi-nation of the fighting whleh has beengoing on for six months.

Little consideration is given to theguerrilla warfare which is being conductedin the south by General GumercindoSaraiva. It Is believed that he willbeeasily and quickly suppressed.

The Government's loyal squadron fireda salute to-day In honor of Admiral Ben-ham. Afterward the American and Bra-zilian admirals exchanged visits. Ben-ham, it is expected, will sail for homebefore long.

The World's correspondent has beenon board the dynamite cruiserNictheroy since she came into theharbor and anchored off this city." CaptainBaker and ail other Americans on thatpopular warship, both officers and men,are well.

THE NEWS AT WASHINGTON.Everybody Pleased That the Revo-

lution Is Ended.Washington, March 14.— The news of

the surrender from Rio de Janeiro, con-tained in Minister Thompson's cablegramthis afternoon, was very welcome to Sec-retary Gresham, and to Secretary Herbertparticularly. To the first it served torelieve him from apprehension that 'some-thing would occur which might involvethe United States Government in an uglydispute with one of the combattants. ToSecretary Herbert the surrender meansthe ability to relieve most of tbe Americansailors who bave endured

-much

hardship and exposure to yellowfever, from further service at Rio and toutilize the ships now there for duty' atother places, where they are much needed.

The naval officers here are well pleasedthat Da Gama escaped/believing lhat he Isa man of sterling qualities and brave to afault.>W_WB___sß_s£B___\

Secretary Herbert is still confined to hishome by the grip and Assistant SecretaryMcA&uosaid that he presumed tbat steps

Physicians who have attended victims offever, and are familiar with Us phaseshere in other years, say that it has devel-oped a peculiar type during this epidemic.

Heart failure follows inmany cases evenafter the fever declines, and patients diefrom this cause where ordinarily theywould have recovered after successfullycombatting the fever.

A pathetic incident was reported by onephysician yesterday. A German merchantarrived in Rio three weeks ago with hisfamily, consisting of his wife and threedaughters.

The four women were stricken simulta-neously and all died on the same day. Themerchant, heartbroken at his loss, com-mitted suicide immediately after tbe lastof bis family died.

There is no hope for the fever's abate-ment unless there should be heavy andfrequent rains.

The health of the crews on ships of theUnited States squadron and on nearly allEuropean men of war is good.

Owing to the demand for tags the Gov-ernment was unable to provide any totake the sick men from the British mer-chant ship's crew to Jurujuba. The Wil-son Company offered the use of their tugsto tne captains of those ships.

Admiral Benhatn permitted launchesfrom United States warships to be used intowing boats containing fever-strickenAmerican sailors to the hospital landing.

The attacks made on Consul Lewis, itisfound, are inspired by personal malice.The Consul, notwithstanding the onerousduties ot office, is conducting the affairsof the consulate in a satisfactory manner.

Returns from Bahla show that PrudentoMoraes for President and Victorino Pe-reira for Vice-President received majorityvotes at the recent election.

Five cases of yellow fever are reportedon board the Italian warship Doeali nowat Bahla.

PEIXOTO WIDE AWAKE.He Will Not Be Surprised by the

Rebel Admiral.New York.March 14.— At the office of

Hie Brazilian Consul this afternoon, one ofthe officials there was asked if any newsof the whereabouts of Admiral deMellohad been received. He said, "Ido notknow positively where he ip, but theymight find him at his old business or try-ing to deplete the. Treasury safe. I,too,have my doubts of Da Gama's honesty olpurpose. He may bo simply borrowingtime. The President is prepared for such-ricks, however. His eyes are open. Heis wide awake, and neither Da Gama norvlello can fool him.

*He willnot rest until

tie has both Inhis clutches." *y"What tin you thinfc he will do with

,lciy, as many suppose. He will turn themover to the people, and Iguarantee whenne does tbat tbere willbe thousands readyto end them."

DEATH AT THE FEAST.

A Jewish Wedding Party Poi-soned at Boston.

The Hebrew Population of BostonVery Much Excited Over the

,- Event.

Boston, Mass., March 14.— Over 800guests last night participated in the wed-ding festivities ot Henry Feinberg ofWorcester and Miss lea Margolies, dauch-ter of Rabbi Margolies of this city. Fully300 were victims to-day of poisoning,caused, itIs thought, by eating food thatbad been cooked in two old copper boilers.

The principal articles of food eaten werechickens, chicken giblets and pickledtongue. Over ninety chickens were killedby Rabbi Margolies on Saturday and Mon-day, and he is positive that the chickenswere fresh and pure, and that the faultwas in the cooking, which was done by alocal baker.

So great was the crowd of guests at thewedding that a second supper table wasnecessary, and itis thought that most ofthe victims were those who ate at that sit-ting, as the food was taken from the bot-tom and sides of the boilers.

There was no intimation that anythinghad gone wrong during the festivities,which ended at midnight. But after amajority of the people had got to theirhomes the poison began to work.

Shortly after 1 o'clock this morning Dr.Israel B. Kronberger, who keeps a drug-store, was called out to attend a womanand her nine-year-old child, who were in adangerous condition and exhibiting symp-toms of poisoning.

This was but the commencement, forup to 4:30 a. m. over forty patients calledfor treatment.

The same programme was being enactedin several. Jewish sections of the city,every Jewish doctor having five to fortypatients eacb, but no fatalities have beenreported. -

The Hebrew section of the communityare all excited, and a few hint that ene-mies of the rabbi placed an emetic in thefood for spite, because the rabbi was notof their way of thinking Inmatters per-taining to church work.

Worcester, Mass., March 14.— theparty from this city are now out of dan-ger, except Rabbi Baerman, wbo is in acritical condition.

The silver Senators whohave during ihe fast few days called uponhim with a view to ascertaining his posi-tion toward (he measure have receivedevasive replies, but have told their col-leagues in Congress there is very littledoubt that the President will simplypermit th» bill to lie upon his desk untilthe constitutional ten days have elapsed,when Itwillbecome a law without his sig-

THE DIE IS CAST.

Labouchere's Address IsRejected.

BUT ITS SENTIMENT STANDS.

"ItStill Remains the Decision ofthe Commons."

THE RADICALS ARE SATISFIED.

Harcourt Says the Government WillStand by Gladstone's Declara-

tion on the Subject.

London, March 14.— When the Honse ofCommons met 10-day Chancellor Barcourtannounced that the Government-had de-cided to move the rejection of the amendedaddress in reply to the Queen's speechlooking to tbe abolition of the House ofLords when it is put from the chair and.substitute another short address in reply.Itwas a proceeding for which the Gov-

ernment held themselves entirely responsi-ble. They could not present to the sovereigna document for which they were not pre-pared to accept the entire responsibility.Tbe avowed object of the amendment wasa definite form of resistance to the Lords.The Government fully accepted Glad-stone's declaration on tbe subject. [Loudcheers.] He had stated yesterday that theGovernment proposed to oppose Balfour'sdoctrine that the Commons are to be sub-ject to the control of the Lords. [Re-newed cheering.]

Balfour and Chamberlain, the Con-servative and Unionist leaders, assuredthe Government of their port, butChamberlain added that yesterday's pro-ceedings showed it was time the Govern-ment asked their constituencies fora newmandate.

Labouchere. the Radical leader, said theamendment passed yesterday was not In-tended as a vote of want of confidence inthe Government, but to quicken theiraction in tbe execution of what theminority of its supporters in the country

demanded. The Radicals are satisfiedthat yesterday's majority is tbe best theyate likely to get, therefore they would notoppose the substitute for it in the address.

Labouchere continued by saying thatwhatever the Government did the amend-ment pas-ed yesterday would still remainthe decision of the Commons.

"We are representatives of the people,"he said, "and the Government are our rep-resentatives. Ido not recognize tbat theGovernment are my masters. Ialwaysregarded them as servants of the majorityof the House, and the majority demandedprompt, speedy, drastic action."

Finally, the House rejected the addressas amended yesterday and adopted theaddress substituted by;Harcourt'

'~"

The substitute address offered by SirWilliam Harcourt. in reply to the Queen'sspeech,* was as follows:

"Most Gracious Sovereign, we, yourMajes'y's most dutiful and loyal subjectsof the House of Commons of Great Britainand Ireland in parliament assembled,humbly assure your Majesty that themeasures recommended for our considera-tion shall receive our most cartful atten-tion, and we beg leave to thank yourMajesty for tbe most gracious speechwhich your Majesty addressed to both

bouses of Parliament."The close of the proceedings at the adop-

tion of Harcour's substitute were farci-cal, the members treating the matter as ahuge joke. \u25a0, yy ~~,

Saundersnn, Conservative forNorth Ar-magh, asked ifit was not the immemorialpractice for the member moving an ad-dress to wear a uniform, and be moved anadjournment for twenty minutes to allowSir William Harconrt to change his clothes.

Harcourt continued, occasionally inter-rupted by ironical cheers. He said theopposition was only taking an opportunityto treat tbe speech from the throne withlevity.

The amendment of J. J. Clancy to cen-sure tbe administration of tbe governmentof Ireland as giving encouragement toevictions, assisting in jury-packing andsuppressing public meetings was rejected—351 to 12. Adjourned.

GLADSTONE MAKES REPLY.He Thanks His Friends in the House

letter to a friend, thanks the members ofthe House of Commons who proposed toask him toreconsider bis decision to retire.He says:

"Apart from every political question,and looking to my sight and hearing only!Ithink the choice before me bas been be-tween resignation at the close of the ses-sion and some short struggles against diffi-culties best known to myself, with thecertainty that it must terminate in themidst of the business of the session, to thegreater inconvenience of the party, theMinistry and all concerned."

WILL END RECIPROCITY.Vest's Opinion Is Sustained by

Other Senators.Washington, March 14.

—The ques-

tion of the reciprocity treaties madeunder the McKinley act between tbeUnited Slates and foreign countries isstill attracting attention. Those interestedin securing a duty on sugar are less appre-hensive since Senator Vest exoressed theopinion that the bill would abrogate allthese agreements; but they are still fear-ful of the phrase in the provision for tberepeal of the reciprocity clause, whichstates tbat the repeal question "shall notaffect any act, if done, or any right accru-ing or accrued before said repeal."

This may continue the agreements lnoperation or render it a question whichwilllead to misunderstanding and dispute.

Senators Caffery and Blanchard agreewith Senator Vest. The statement hasbeen published tbat Caffery bad givenrepresentatives of the beet-sugar industryin Kansas and Nebraska assurance that hewould introduce an amendment to tbeSenate bill directing the President of theUnited States to notify countries withwhicb there are reciprocity treaties that allsuch treaties will be abrogated threemonths after the date on which the newtariff law gam into effect.

Senator Caffery was asked if he contem-plated such a course and replied that bedid not

Senator Blanchard said that the Wilsonbill would put the sugar business on anentirely different basis from what itoccu-pied under the McKinley law.as underthat act sugar came in free, and he did not

apprehend any trouble in construing theWilson bill, when it shall become a law,as a repeal of 'he reciprocity clause.

STRUCK A SNAG.

Sugar Perplexes Some ofthe Senators.

IT IS AWFULLY IN THE WAY,

And They Wish They Had NeverHeard of Reciprocity.

THE WAY THE TWO ARE MIXED.

Democratic Members of the FinanceCommittee Are in a Dreadful

Predicament.

Washington, March 14.— When shallthe tariffbill be reported? Two Senators,Aldrich and Allison, speaking for the Re-publicans of the Finance Committee, haveno wish to retain the bill in the committeefor an unreasonable time. They recognizethe fact that there willnot be much profitin discussing the details over tbe com-mittee table, and they are willingthat tbebillshall go to the Senate next week.

They wish, however, a distinct under-standing as to the time when the debate inthe Senate shall begin, and they wishsufficient time to elapse between tbe

reporting of the bill and tbe beginning ofthe debate for the Republican Senators tofinish the preparation of their speechesand to become familiar with the details oftbe bill.

As finally presented to the committee, ivcase the bill is reported next week, as nowseems probable, the Democrats wish thedebate to begin on the followingMonday,March 26, while the Republicans do notwish to begin the debate until a weekInter, April2. Itis the difference of opin-ion as to the date for the beginning of thedebate which has thus far prevented anagreement as to the time for the billto bereported to the Senate.

Chairman Voorbees is authority for thestatement tbat while it is proposed to re-peal tie ority to negotiate "recipro-city treaties," which are provided for inthe McKinley law, it is not proposed tointerfere inany manner with reciprocitytreaties already ratified.

This definition of the sugar schedule inthe tariff billin its present form is sur-prising to tbe representatives of the sugarproducers, who have assumed, as a matterof course, that the bill would carry therepeal of all reciprocity treaties, whicbthe Chicago platform denounced as asham. Now the anomaly willbe presentedof the admission of beet sugar from Ger-many free of duty as at present inreturnfor the removal of the embargo on Ameri-

can pork by the German Empire, and thereduction of the duties upon various agri-cultural products.

The reciprocity treaty with Spain underthis interpretation willalso be allowed tostand. The repeal of the reciprocityclause of the McKinley net will,it is nowstated, merely prevent the President fromnegotiating any further treaties" of thischaracter.

The president of the National Beet-sugarGrowers' Association states that the rightof Congress to repeal the sugar bountywill be submitted to the decision of theSupreme Court. The beet-sugar refinersof 'be Northwest have made contracts withthe beet-sugar growers of that section forthe crops of '94 and 'U5 at figures based onthe bounty clause of the McKinley law.Tbey will make a test case by refusing tocarry opt their contract with some onesugar-beet grower and will then carry thecase up through the successive courts tothe Supreme Court.

As Associate Justice White was, accord-ing to a report made before the Senate bySecretary Carlisle yesterday, a heavybeneficiary of the bounty clause last year,itis assumed that White willnot sit on thebench when this case comes before theSupreme Court.
