In addi-ion to those executed, it is said a numlier were sen tenced to long terms of imprisonment and their proiieilv confiscated, whils others fled to England and tbe United States, Advices from South Brazil show the rebels are still successful there; tbe in surgents are moving on Portw Alegre, the capitol of Rirt Giande do Sul. Tbev are said to be receiving accessions daily. It is believed unless the government troops are used ft ttrrify the voters in the comintr election the Government can- dida'is will re uefeoied. It is lie ieed however, the popu ar iil cannit -e reg istered. and in that case more b oodsaed is looked for. ("lends at Work.

The com mittee nas had in view a protection bill which will meat tbe revenue require ments aad prevent another resort to a boad issne. Pursuant to this puroose there is little douot that the committee has concluded to retain the income tax and place a doty on sugar. Tbe Louis iana senators ar so urgent in their de mands ' that the committee will find it diftcult to refuse to report favoring a duty on sugar.

Senators Blackburn and Lindsav of 'Kentucky were before the renate finance com mi 'tee lodav in the interest oflbe hiskv distillers of Kentucky Their time was devoted almost exclusive) v to the extension of the bonded period, wbicb the oietillers say in the present depressed condition of busine-s is ab-slute'y nec essary to thera. They represent there are now 83 000,000 gallons of whiskv in tbe bonded warehouses, wh eh mnst be ta keu out. under ibe Wileon bill, within the next three rears, much of it withini the uext year or two. This, even without aa increase in tbe tax. would be a hard ship, and with that increase tbe harden wi I be that much heavier. Voorhees, cbairmaD of the finance committee, ac compaDied tbe Kentucky senators on their visit to the subcommittee, a fact considered is favorab'e to the extension of the bonded period. He bad pre viously been in doference with some representatives of the distilling interests. McPiierson was also closeted with tbe subcommittee for a considerable time during tbe day . ' The Diws of a Republic. Lohdon, Feb. 10 There are many sigus that tbe country is ou tbe eve ot a grave constitutional crisis. Tbe question of abolishing tne house of lords bas be come acute, and it now depends upon the action ol the cabinet mee'lng to be held on Tuesdav whether or not the coatin- nce of the upper bouss shall be dU- cu-sed in the first plank of th national liberal federatioa s platform. lr. u ad stone is unwilling to lead . a campaign against tbe peers, yet be may be lorced to it by i combination of ministers . in sisting upau tbe necessity ol the isue There is no don bt that in tbe cabinet many favor summary mod' s of dealing with tbe lords. Campbell-Btnnrr-man, secretary of slate (or war, said in a speech last evening at Newcastle that tbe ques tion was whether a tree self governing, community or a body 'of irresponsible hered tary peers ought to prevail. Pro feasor Brjce, chancel or ot tbe Ducbv of Lancaster, said to a liberal meeting in Liverpool: If ibe house of lords will force tbe conflict, we must clear away the bar en which so many vessels Ireighted witb nsetul legislation hive been wrecked." 8t Charles Rus-ell, attornev geaeral. in addns.ing the liberals of Weibacti, saiu: "Tbe question now ia whether tbe lards, sitting by accident of birth, caa be allowed to. mangla an act passed byrthe cbasen representatives ot tbe people." These extracts from speeches ol the most cod pic nous liberals show which way tba wiad blows. Ia-tesd of home rule, tbe abolition of tna bouse of lord is takiag first place among the questions of tbe day. Jkm Ohio Town Barned.

Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report ABSOLUTELY PURE In the Senate. Washington, Feb. 12 In tbe senate a petition signed bv 30,000 woolgrowers owning one seventh of all tbe sheep in the United S:ates, protcntinv against the free-wool clause of the tariff, was presen ted by Cuilurn. Among the petitioners are the Navajo tribes of Indians, who own 1.500,000 sheep. Petitions against free iroi ore and freu lumber wero presented by Senator Fauikner, and similar petitions protest ing against tbe Wilsn hill as a whole were preseuted bv Cock fell and- Ga. lin ger.

I want to say now I believe that Stevens Is a good man, a good neighbor and an honest cilizen, but he was not the most discreet man that ever occupied sucb a position in a foreign country.

Fresno, Cel., Feb. 12 Deputy Sber iff;. P. F Peck and HI Rappelje returned to Fresno yesterday from th pursuit of Evans and Morel I. It is said that all trace of the bandit? bave been lost. The last trace of the outlaws was on top of a mountain beyond Eshon valley tbe after noon of last Wednesday. Tbev were then beading in the direction of the high er mountains beyond, aDd snow nas fallen till all their tracks were covered. The officers since that time bave been scouring tbe mountains and canyons en all sides, from tbe edge of tbe plains back to ihe deep snow. None of the settlers will admit that they bave seen or heard of the bandits, and tbe belief is that t liay have made their way as rapidly as possible to some otber camp wbicb bas never been discovered, and are lying there in hiding, waiting for tbe snow to go off tbe g ound or for tbe officers to leave tbe mountains.

' Tbe Northwest Agrieulturiit gives tb following explanation of what a system of good country roads mean to tbe farm ing classes: ; Tbey would make it' possible for the farmers to take advantage promptly ef tbe highest markets, bo matter at wbat season ot tbe year. Tbey would save bim days aad weeks of time wbicb he wastes ever; year wal lowing through the disgusting mire of dirty roads. They would reduce to minimum the wear and tear on wagoas and caniages They would lessen the expense of keep ing horses in working order, and fewer horses would be required in- the country to perform tbe farmers work. Tbey would require less to keep tbem in repair tban do the dirt roads. They weuid make it easier for a team to puil several tons over their smooth surface than to draw a wagon through tba mud, Tbey would -afford ready communica tion witb tbe outside world at all times of tbe year. Tbey would save farmers many vex ations and nervous strains. Tbey would practically shorten the dis tance to tba local market. Tbey weald increase the demand for country and suburban property. Tbey would be free from dirt ia sum mer and mud and ruts In the fall, winter and spring. ' Tney would bring every farming com munity into closer social relations. Tbey would make an evening drive pleasure instead of a vexstisa, as it is now. Tbev woufd increase the valne of pro ductive lands from 5 to 25 per cent.

For several days he had been complaining of feeling sick, and last night about 12 o'clock he carae into the saloon, and went up stairs to retire. Joe Parodf in going to bed saw the door opened, and walking in thought he was dead. He immediately called Dri Holhster, who came down and, after examination, pronounced him dead.
