the War.
Ui knos Atbes, Dec. 20.—Very bal
news has reached here from Rio do
Jan iro. It is announced that the un-
fortunate city, wHich htts for months
past been suffering from the ravages of
war, is now a victim to the ravages of
the worst and mo*t dreaded of all dis-
easrs yellow fever-and live deaths
from this diseu.se are already reported.
The news that yellow fever has added
its burden and horrors to the suffer-
ings already endured by the people has
caused widespread attention here, and
much sympathy is expressed for the
plague and war-stiickou inhabitants.
It i- added, however, that the govern-
ment has taken every precaution possi-
ble under the circumstances to prevent
the spread of the disease, but the work
of the officials at ltio dc Janeiro is
greatlv hampered by the condition
to which the city has been reduced by
the horrors of war.
It is added that the scourge is not tho
m\ld form of that fever, but is the
worst form of black vomit
.lowing the news that the black
vomit lias broken out comes the addi-
tional Information th tt the bombard-
ment of the city unci forts continues,
and thut the forces of both parties—
the government aud the insurgents —
seem determined to bring matters to a
termination in one way or the other.
The lire of the rebel warships upon
the forts is sttid to have been unusually
severe and to have resulted in killing 11
number of the defenders of President
I'eixoto's fortifications. It is also said
that several people have been killed in
the strv ts of ltio Janeiro, and that tho
people of that city are so panic-stricken
that all stores have been closed and
busin *ss is practically at a standstill.
The forts have been replying fiercely
to the heavy fire of the ships, and nave
so far succeeded in holding their own.
It is reported thut n battle at sea be-
tween the rebel and government ships
may soon be expected, ttud that upon
this engagement will depend the fate

Topkk \, Ivan., Dec. 3D.—Gov. Lewel-
ling has removed Mrs. Lease from the
state l oard of charities. This was done
after a long conference with his asso-
ciate state oflleers and other leaders of
the people's party and was no doubt In
anticipation of war which Mrs. Lease
J was preparing to declare against the
I state administration.

Washington, Dcc. 99.—The treasury
department has been advised by thief
Harris that the Cherokee strip bonds
had been sol I to a London syndicate.
There is an interesting story going
the rounds that one of the prominent
oh' dais of the treasury has been in-
strumental In controlling the fnte of
the bonds. They have been on the
market for some time, and of course all
parties thinking of making a purchase
would ask for in formeconcern-
ing the bonds fr m *he treasury
department- The task o* furnishing
this information was assigned to a cer-
tain oflicinl, who. us tlfe |itorv runs,
when asked about the validity and
character of the holl is by parties not
connected with his Wall street ring
would act very suspiciously and be not
ut all certalu that the bonds could be
collected without dilllculty and ex-
pense, but when confronted by some
one who belonged to his crowd of fel-
lows the bonds were all right.

"Kith -r he goes, or I go," Mrs Lease
suid. "It is a question of principles
with me. First 1 am a populist and of
the middle-of-the-road sect and I do
not believe in appointing democrats to
ofllee."
As appears above tho matter was
ended by her going.

London, Dee A reputation of
unemployed workmen waited upon Mr.
Gladstone and asked that the govern-
ment provide work for the unemployed
by building light railways in London.
Mr. (Sladstoue.in reply to the request,
said that the want of employment was
not peculiar to London or any part of
Great 1 Britain. The government sym-
pathired with the men and their fami-
lies in their distress, but it would be
difficult for the government to engage
in work that was beyond its usual
powers. There were parties, Mr. Glad-
stone added, that desired the govern-
ment to become the owner of till the
railways in the country. To a cert ain
extent he shared in this desiu, but it
was a complex question which could
not be decided without mature consid-

sible to consider the question, but he
promised to do so when the time was
