Reduction of Their Number Work- ins Badly The Old Order to ,be Re-Establlshed-The I Petrel I Reaches Japan Accident to the Ericcson Tre a- ! ' ury Ruling on the v ' Whiskey Tax. Washington, Sept. 28. The Petrel arrived at Nagasaki, Japan, yesterday. The Thetis, which recently left San Francisco for an extended surveying cruise along the coast of Lower Califor nia, where she was at work last spring, has reported at San Diego. When the new navy came into being, the ships generally having little or no sail power and rigging, it was supposed that the' old fashioned boatswain could be generally dispensed.with. In fact, the number of these warrant officers was considerably reduced, their dutie3 being tranferred to the executive officers and boatswain's mates. Now it 'has been found that this plan has worked badly. In the first place there is much .work re maining for a boatswain in connection with the boats, ground tackle, rigging, care of stores and other things, and the executive officer is already an over worked man on our complex modern ships and unable to carry! other responsibilities than those properly be longing to his office. Inthe second place, the change had a most discourag ing effect upon the Bailors all the way down to the apprentices, who were thereby deprived of'lhe inducement held out by a possible promotion. Conse quently the bejBlTmeri began to drop out until now itiS difficult to get them to re enlist wbw their terms expire.. So Secretary Herbert has determined to acainchange i the policy of the depart- memVand increase the number' of boat- ains, I which he may do, as "the law does-not fix upon definite num ber. After twenty" years' ser vice a boatswain's pay is t,(T0a year and a ration, equivalent to about $1,900, and with the hope of reaching this goal by a gradual but substantiaKhicrease of the number of boatswains, it is"betieved that the defection of trained seamen and expert seamen gunners, who have been educated at considerable expense to th9 Government will be stopped; The official trial ' of the Ericcson i again pastponed. When 6he came around from Dubuque to New York it was announced that her official trial trip I would be made not later than September 1st. To day she went out on her prelim inary contractors' run and met with an accident, the details of which are not yet known to the Navy Department. A decision that whiskey exported from "the United States under the McKinley tariff and imported under the same law. placed in bonded warehouse, but not j withdrawn untd after the new Tantt act took effect, will have to pay duty at the new rate of "$1.10 per gallon will be an nounced from the treasury to-morrow. Cause of Chinese Reverses. " London, Sept. 28. Capt.- Lang, a for mer director ta the Chinese navy ana supervisor of the erection of many Chi nese forts, said in an interview to-day in regard to the Chinese reverses: As a matter of fact, the Chinese never expected to have a fight and their supreme contempt of Japan is a pre- domment trait, with tnem. lheir sea men are as brave as could be wished, but they have not the slightest patriotism. Their officers are "regardless of almost everything ; but personal advantage, and have ' always . wanted to evade drill ; and remain ashore. Tbey have-, hated- Europeans and European ideas and are insufferably obstinate and conceited. There are admitted excep tions to this rule, however, especially in the case of Admiral Ting, who is con spicuously a brave and capable officer, whose lead could sateiy De followed any where. 1 cannot understand the alleged superiority of the Japanese quick firing guns4 The four vessels of the Chin a "Yuen class were - admirably equipped, and; I am not disposed in the light of the present information to give the Japanese the credit they claim" j The BIjc Drop In Coffee. New York, Sept. 28. The Coffee Ex change was the scene of excitement to day such as has not been witnessed for many months.- The occasion was a per pendicular drop in the price of Septem ber contracts. It appears that'some dil atory holders of September contracts, including a number of foreigners who habitually defer liquidation to the last minute, sent in orders to close out Sep tember contracts. At the same time, it was reported that 6,000 to 7,000 notices had I been ' started. Three brokers had orders to sell September. A decline of fc or 75 points from the last sale of yes terday was the result. September, whichf yesterday closed at $14.05, opened this morning at $13 80, next sold at -$13.40; next at $13 35 and then at $13 30, after which a short notice September . sold at $13 30. After this the market steadied up a little, but the feeling on 'change is bearish. A record breaking crop is pre dicted. ! Feeling of Dissatisfaction in .China. Vienna, Sept. 28. The Politische cor respondent says the following informa-; tion" has reached St. Petersburg from; China and attracts the serious attention? of the Government; - The intense excitement in ' all the? provinces of China and the dissatisfac-i tion of the highest officials in the empire haye reached points which indicate a probable movement against the reigning dynasty. The spirit animating the reg-i ular army is satisfactory, but the dis cipline has been much relaxed. The irl regular troops, upon which the Govern ment must ; now rely, are committing greatand frequent excesse3 every where;' The war chest is as empty as the State exchequer and- the Government has the, greatest dinicuifcy ; in purchasing the barest necessities for the troops ia the field." I A Deliberate Murder. Huntington, W.Va,, Sept. 28. Char jei Brumfield, a notorious young man, shot and fatally wounded Spence Midkiff on Harf's creek, in Loudon county, forty miles south of Huntington, last night, while Midkiff was walking peaceably ahead of birn.

Portuguese Merchants Attacked Manj Foreigners Killed and Much Property Destroyed-President Pelxotto the Instigator The News Discredited. New YoEKi Sept. 28. A special cable from .Montevideo says:. Admiral Da Gama asserts that there has been rioting in Rio De Janeiro, lasting five, days, ac companied by outrages on Portuguse merchants, instigated directly by Presi dent Peixotto, who' incited soldiers, dressed as citizens, to make' an attack, on! the pretense that they wanted to break up a meeting of Royalist conspira tors. Rio. it is reported, looks like a great military camp,; soldiers " patrolling the streets, cavalry encamped in public gar dens and launches patrolling the harbor front. The number of killed is stated to be 328, and 213 wounded entered the hospitals, s Most of the fighting occurred near the water's edge arid many bodies were cast into the harbor. The damage to the property of Portuguse, British and other foreign residents will amount to $1,500,000. f ; Admiral Da Gama exhibited : a tele gram giving this hews. It was not ad dressed to him but was in cipher and pent to a well known Englishman here. The Brazilian Government sent out a re vised, authorized account cf the riots. Strict censorship is maintained. ; . The British Minister has asked for a guard at the legation and residence. This was granted him by order of Peix otto. The legation is crowded with - refugees who, although promised pro tection by the authorities, are afraid to go on the streets. " . - New York, , Sept. 28. A special de spatch from Rio Janeiro says: One hun dred and ninety-seyen persons have been arrested for being implicated in the riots of the last four days. Italian and PorT tugese houses have been fired. The police-and marines are active. Many cries of "Death to the Tyrant" were heard. Troops are held in barracks and sailors with boats are ready to land. President .Peixo.tto announces that aid from foreign ships is unnecessary. London, Sept. 28. Business firms here ! having connections in Kio are receiving messages from that city, and little credence-is given the reports that riots have occurred there. The cable de spatches indicate that everything is quiet. BRADSTfiEET'S REPORT. Less Satisfactory .Reports from Sev- eral Southern Centres Some Check to Business Noticed. ' ' New York, Sept. 28. Bradstrecfa to morrow will say : The;feature of general trade throughout the country i3 found a moderate reactions within the week, .more particularly in the volume of pur chases of staples in the West.where trade has been quite ; active, and at Eastern , points, in the course of prices,: the week j failing to show any upward movement 111 "lia auu m . cneuJ lu ousmess ooum, logetner witn aamage to the rice and orange crops. Less satisfactory reports come from some of the more important distributing points South, owing to the effect of the storm. Augusta reports the outlook not so bright and refers to the low price of cotton and its effect on the purchasing power of producers. General business has been unsettled also at Savannah and Jacksonville, and rice and orarga crops have suffered. There has been no material gain in business at New Orleans, importation of fruits and receipts of bulk grain for ex port being light. ... There has, been a fair business in hard ware at Chattanooga, but other lines re port less activity. Nashville says iron pipe mills are unable to keep' up with orders, but pig iron in that market is quieter. - r Businc s is " practically unchanged at CarleBtonMemphis and Birmingham. i ' The StwiV Cotton Review. ; j' New YoRK,Sept. 23. The Sun's cot ton review says: Cotton declined 10 to 12 points and closed barely steady at a net loss for the day of 8 to 11 points, the distant months being the weakest. . The sales were 103,200 bales. Liverpool ad vanced 1 to H points and closed easy. Spot sales were 13,003 bales at unchanged prices. ' In Manchester yarns were Steady; cloths quiet. New Orleans de clined 11s points. Cotton goods were quiet and print cloths nearly nominal at a 15-16c Spot cotton here was l-16c lower. Sales were 155 bales for spir iting. Prices are ic lower than the low est quotation in 1893. Galvestion. New Orleans and Memphis declined l-16c and Baltimore Jc. A private despatch frcm j Fall River states that it is rumored there that the labor troubles will be settled im ! mediately. Receipts at New Orleans to morrow were estimated at 11.CO0 to 12, 000 bales against 5,388 on the same day last week,' and 10,3ut last year. To-day's features: The depression in Liverpool was the chief source of weak ness. Heavy selling there against buy ing of the actual - cotton in thf , South caused a decline which acted unfavora bly upon New York. Very heavy rains were reported in the Atlantic State3 and some of the crop reports of late from South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Louisiana have been unfavorable. But the signal service predicted Jair and warmer weather, and this fact offset the other weather ne ws. Stocks in eight are heavy and it is contended that t'.e crop is likely to exceed ihe world's require ments of American cotton. The South seems to be discouraged and is hurrying the cotton to market, regardless of the effect upon t&e price. Most operators here are bearish. Two Murderers Hanged. Paris, Texas, Sept. 28. Eugene Fulks and Tom Moore were hangpd here to-day for murders committed in the Indian Territory. The drop fell at 2:C5 o'clock p. m. Both were pronounced dead in twenty minutes. r The men both refused ministerial consolation ori the gallows and Fulks died with an oath on his . lips.

Com munication with South Florida is being restored and special dispatches are pour ing in on the Times-Unioi relative to the damage done by the West Indian cyclone which raged in the State Tuesday and Wednesday. The despatches all tell the same story of houses wrecked and crops destroyed, but no loss of ife is reported. The Times-Union received a dispatch from Tampa to day, which is the first information from that place since Tues day. At Tampa several large cigar fac tories were wrecked. The large threq- story brick factory of Seidenberg & Co. was destroyed. The factory of-Cr A7 Joyce was demolished asj , were also the factories of Ybor & Manarara; Teodoro, Perez & Co., and OMklloaran. The First Presbyterian church imd the palatial Tampa Bay hotel were taadly damaged. Several smaller structures! were also de molished. The total loss 6n buildings at Tampa is estimated at $50,000. Communication with Fernandina is also restored o-day. A despatch to the Times-Union from that Iplace says that the schooner. Edward Stewart, which was loaded and was lying at anchor, was blown across the river pulling her anchors with her, and is fcow lying on a mud flat in abovt five feet of water. The small boats were all blown away and numbers are now layin;; high and dry up in the marsh together jwith the float ing dock, which was ut the foot cf Center street. Durinz J the storm at Fernandina the British steamships Boston City and Elmviile collided and were badly damaged. 1 A despatch from Palataka announces great damage to river craft at that place. The steamer Princess was( sunk between Palatka and Picolata. She is valued at $12,000. Theteamier Edith was, driven ashore. The steamer De Bary was driven against the draw bridge and wrecked.

These ad vices were brought by Mrs. Anna M. Mariotte, the Times-Union's' St. Augustine-reporter, who made the trip on a hand car. Mrs. Mariotte gives a graphic account of the condition of things at bt. Augu3tme. No lives were lost, but sev eral houses were wrecked and the losses will run into the thousands. Nearly all the windows in the city jwere blowp in and the houses flooded with water. The Ponce de Leon was damaged in this way. The loss on the hotel's furniture is heavy. At St. Augustine the waes dashed over the sea wall and made rivers of the streets. Many wharves wer9 blown away. . '. - , Between Jacksonville and St. Augus tine not a telegraph pole jwas left stand ing. The damage to thej orange groves is incalculable. Uespatcnes to tne i imes Union say that in the large groves the ground is literally covered with green oranges. The loss will be. fully, 20 per The East coast is still cut off from com munication below St. Aujgustine, though communication may be restored to-night. Every effort is being male to hear from Tituaviile, Jupiter and Kfey West, which are supposed to have beeii in the storm centre. Despatches to the Tinles-Union indi cate that the storm was as severe id the interior of the State as on the coast. It struck Tampa and then (traveled north east for Jacksonville and! St. Augustine. At Ocala and Orlando, interior points, several sea gulls and sea eelswere found after the storm passed.

Stocks and Bonds in New York The Grain and Provision Markets V I of Chicago. Nawj Yoek, Sept. 28. Speculation in American Sugar was the overshadowing feature of to-day's market at the Stock Exchange. The stock figured for 93,000 shares in a total of 244,500 for the entire list. The stock sold as low as 88 J against a little over a month 'ago. The stock was under the hammer during the early trading and the reports that the in siders were not averse to lower figures was again revived, to . gain credence among weak holders. Chicago Gas was another stock which received particular attention from the bears and broke from 70i ta 67.

New York orders were generally to sell. The final weakness in corn extended to wheat. Most of the early buyers parted with the stuffi they had on hand. December wheat opened at 53&c, sold between 53f to 531c and 53c, closing at 53ic. io Under yesterday. Cash wheat was in good de mand, but unchanged in price.
