HOUS2.
Washington, Sept. 26.—The ga-
lleries of th« house were filled this
jnorning in anticipation of the open-
ing of debate >-<n the Tucker bill.
The debate was begun by Mr.
Tucker, author of the bill. Ho alleg-
ed that the stales alone can make
conditions of suffrage and that the
federal election laws are unconstitu-
tional.
"The repeal of these laws,1' said
Mr. Tucker in conclusion, "will
wipe away statutes that have caused
clashing between the federal govern-
ment and the states for thirty years.''
Mr. IBrosius of Pennsylvania fol-
lowed Mr. Tucker against the bill.
He appealed, he said, to patriotism,
not partisanship. After the war con-
ditions arose that were a menace to
the liberties of a weak race, strug-
gling wuh new born rights and res-
ponsibilities. Those in the south who
had power took and held it against
the weak. Under the new regime
we had to protect those whom we
had seen to fight loyally and gallant
ly for freedom. To have surrendered
• ijcm naked and defenseless would
have been a reproach to the national
honor and have evoked the deser-
ved censure of the civilized world.
When Mr. Brosius closed Dele-
gate Flynn of Oklahoma got up
his resolution calling on the secre-
tary of war for information regard-
ing alleged outrages committed by
the military at the opening of the
Cherokee strip.
Mr. Springer made the point "no
quorum," when the previous ques-
tion was ordered, to have an oppor-
tunity to reply to some of the stric-
tures Mr. Flynn had indulged in
¿lis references to Secretary Hoke
^¡mith.
The house then adjourned.
London, Sept. 26.—A cablegram
from the manager of the London
bank in Rio, dated 10 a. m. to-day,
says the rebel squadron resumed the
bombardment this morning. The
forts replied to the fire of the war-
ships, after which the latter ceased

calling on the secretary of the trea- '

ships the shells of the forts are said j etj by law to be purchased each
to have caused death among the
crew. In Rio there was also loss of
life. Full particulars were unob-
tainable when the dispatch was sent.
Santos is also reported to have re-
ceived another visitation from the
rebel ships blockading that port, but
the report is not yet confirmed. All
shipping is now shut out of Santos
and the rebels have thusgccomplish-
ed the object they had in view
when their ships were first sent to
Santos, namely, to deprive President
Pcixoto's government of the rev-
enue he was deriving from the cus-
tom house there, which was a consi-
derable sum ef money, as Santos is
a port having a large trade with
Europe and the United States.
Reports reach here that revolts
against Ptixoto have occurrcd in
several of tne states of Brazil and
that the situation in the interior is
worse than cn the coast. The coast
line in any case is now practically
thoroughly blockaded by the rebel
fleet and there is no' doubt the in-
surgents' ships are well supplied
with provisions by their friends in
the interior of the republic, for
hardly a day passes without some
cattle and flour laden coaster leav-
ing a friendly port with supplies for
the rebel sailors.
The end of this bitter contest, it
is «aid here, depends upon the suc-
cess or failure of the mission under-
taken by the Brazilian delegates
who landed at Southampton sev-
eral day ago. It is now admitted
there was a deputation from the
rebels and on the outcome of their The undersigned is prepared to

Thrown out of Court.
Corpus Christi, Tex., Sept. 27.—
The case of Matt Dunn, charged
with aggravated assault on Colonel
E. H. Ropes, was thrown "out of
the county court on account of the
failure of prosecuting witnesses to
appear. Colonel Ropes is still in the
north, and it is impossible to state
when he will return. He has a civil
ease pending against Dunn for $20,
ocx) damages for injuries he alleges
to have received at his hands. This
ease will come under the jurisdic-
tion of the district court, if ever
brought to trial.
A committee of farmers met the
v/aterwork representatives and con-
ferred with them on the snbject of

to let them have all the surplus wa-
ter, but on what terms can not be
learned.
Travel has recently become very
