Engineer Mustek Pinioned Under Hit Iq* a ER Washington, Dec. 21.—After routine business in the senate Mr. Morgan called up his joint resolution recognizing the United States of Brazil. He said he would not have ventured to address the senate now on the subject but that he felt Impressed with the necessity of having action taken by congress. The president had gono into the matter as far as his constitutional powers warranted. It was uecossary now, in the present attitude of the question, that there should be a conjoint declaration by the legislative and judicial powers of the government as to the present status of Brazil. During his speech Mr. Morgan paid a high compliment to the patriotism and goodness of Dom Pedro. Discussing the Monroe doctlfne, Mr. Morgan declared that the attitude of the United States in respect to all the countries on the western hemisphere was a very distinct one, and had been reasserted on every opportune occasion from4he date of its announcement down to the last iqpssage of the president of the United States. He coincided in the declaration made by Thomas Jefferson that it was the business and duty of the United States to proceed to make, to progress in making, and ultimately to consummate in making ef the western hemisphere the home of republican institutions and not the home of despotic institutions.

Most of the East river ferryboats stopped running late in the day. This caused a jam of passengers on the Brooklyn bridge, and the crowd was so great and impatient that many fears of panic and disaster were entertained. London, Dec. 21.—Sir Francis de Winton has made public a long letter written to him by Stanley, dated Ursofala, Aug. 81. In it Stanley objects very strongly to the tone of a batch of newspaper cuttings he had received, which commented with an utter lack of common sense and a total disregard of accuracy upon his expedition. H« dwells upon Emin's indecision, which cost him a journey, otherwise unnecessary, of 1,300 miles for Barttelot. Sine and Inerelj Hurt. Concealed somewhere in tho unlighted cellar was the assassin, whose knife made a mortal wound at almost every thrust. It pierced the clothing Mantwill held in his arms and penetrated to his heart. It cut the femoral and caroUd arteries and severed the windpipe. Both arms were nearly cut off, and a portion of the ear was severed. Thirty-five cute were counted on Mantwill's body. When the murderer had finished hi9 work, he wiped his weapon on tho clothes which had been torn from Mantwill's arms, and escaped through a window.

To add to the exasperating delay, a complete blockade occurred about 6 o'clock, causcd by a collision between two trains at the Brooklyn terminus. A trainman had his leg fractured, but none of the passengers were injured. The fog caused the collision. While traffic was blocked by this accident the at the New Tork terminus grew until it extended across the Center street approach and filled the Bidewalks for a block in all directions. Foot passengers and travelers on the elevated road using the city hall station had to fight their way through the crowd, and the discomfort and danger were serious. He justifies the payment of a salary of £30 per month to Tippoo Tib as a means for averting a desolating war, and declares that if both parties are honest in the maintenance of their agreements peace may continue for an indefinite period. Mrs. Mantwill sat in the big room just above the spot where her husband was fighting for his life. She sajft did not hear any scuffiing. All she hoard was a groan, and when she heard that she ran down stairs into tho cellar and found her husband lying dead in a pool of blood. Washington Motes. CS WILKES-BARRE PA.

Inspector Byrnes was the colonel ot the blue coated regiment. Craven E Silcott, the defaulting cashier to ex-Sorgeant-at-Arms Leedom, has been indicted by the grand jury for forging the names of congressmen to promissory notes. There are 112 counts in the indictment. Bruno Ebeling, a carpenter, whose relations with Mr. Mantwill oftftn caused comment, has been arrested, but there is as yet no proof that he committed the murder. There is a theory that an insane man, who has been wandering about the scene of the tragedy, killed Mantwill, but the police do not take much stock in it. , He rebukes those persons in England who bad lost faith in his steadfastness of purpose to such a degree as to give credit to rumors that ho was marching in the direction of Khartoum.

This in turn choked up Center street and Park row Do that ail the east side lines of street cars were blocked.

Chicago, Dec. 21.—Slates Attorney Longnecker has secured an authentic copy of the document the reading of which caused Cronin'e expulsion from ihe Clan na-Gael. It disproves the chtDrge that be was an advocate of dynamite. The questions be wanted congress to decide was whether Brazil was an empire or a republic; whether the house of Braganza or the people of Brazil were the depository of the sovereign power of that stato. The answer to those questions, while it was perfect, ly clear now, might become clouded by later events, and he thought it unwise to await these later events. He wanted congress to announce the fact that tho empire had disappeared in Brazil and that the republic existed. If, after this day, the in$erial power should reappear in Brazil, that reappearance would be in the nature of a new and fresh power, and the re-establishment of tho empire would be against the Monroe doctrine and in spite of it. The congress of the United States had the absolute right to recognize the non-existence of the republic, and he desired to have that recognition placed on record plainly, boldly—he would not say defiantly. Kmplre or Republic, Fresh News from the Wires Carefully He know the major was a man of little forbearance, and had intended to keep him with himself, but necessity compelled the change that caused him to leave him behind.
