Wahbisotox, January 12. Probably the most unexpected development in connection with the Ilornblower confirmation which has yet come to light is the action of the Execu tive Committee of the Republican National Committee in officially seeking to secure his continuation. Tbe fact thnt such action was taken did not become public until to-day. it was done at the suirwstion of Mr. Bliss, of New lork.

wh urged the confirmation of the nomination, especially it il could be ma le to appear as having been accomplished largely through the Republican Instrumentality, and would be to the benefit of the Republican party. Ex-Chairman Carter. Chairman Manlev. Mr. Bliss and Mr.

Hobart have been laboring with Republican Senators Who are supposed to he unfriendly to Judge Hornblower confirmation, to cause them to change their minds and vote for confirmation. It is said they met with but little encourat-ement. and Mr. Carter is auoted as savin after his conversa tion with a tironiineiit Western Senator that he had come nearer being convinced that he was wrong than he had come to bringing the Senator over to the Jiornblower side of the Question. Messrs.

Bliss, of New Tork, and Hobart. of New Jersey, of the National Committee, said this atternoon that tbe ouetinn ol Horn-hlowcr'a confirmation had not iieeu consid. ered in the National Committee, it that the members had personally discussed the mat ter. Ther themselves believed that It was good policy for the Republicans to vote for confirmation, and that Mr. Hornblower was a good man for the place, and they had so suggested to Senators ou their own personal responsibility.

Rio lit Jasctao. January 12. Th explosion which took place at Fl. Villagenon is much more serious than at first supposed. First reports Mild that a gun had exploded and sev eral persous had been Injured.

It now appears thai fifteen men were killed by th tl- phsdon at the fort mentioned. Exact details aa Pi the cause of the explosion are not known in Rio. One version of the affair has it (hat tbe loaa of lite was caused by the explosion of a gun, arid another account says that the dia-aier was tbe result of tbe explosion of one of the aiaxazitiea. Tbe blow is a severe one to Ft. Villegenon, which is already much damaged by the freuent atorma of shot and shell which have visited It during th oast few months.

It a'so appear that the explosion on board of Admiral de tiama's flagship, the Taman-dare, waa more serious than at first announced. Later reports say that six men were killed and eight wounded by th explosion. These two disa-ters to the rebels have had the effect of considerably disheartening them, and it ia reported that they may cause a decided TI OF THE TIDE In favor of President Peioxoto. The usual bensailorial muiois have bec-n circulated in regard to fries two explosions, among them being the report that the ex- plosion at Ft, Villeicaiinion was the work of ar. agent of President Peioxote.

It was ai fir.t reported that the crew of the Met hern refused to put to ea unless they ere paid arrears of wastes, hich ere said to be due to them. The correct version of the affair seems to be that the crew of the Jtlcthe-roy insist upon the X'ayment of a considerate sum of advance moiey.and that they ill not fail southward until this money is paid. The tii'Vernnient officiate her deny this, and Bay that the America, Aurora and th vessels from Montevideo and other laces will sail for Kio de Janeiro as soon aa he entire fleet is (fathered at Pernambnco. The most conflicting reimrts are in circulation as to the contemplated movements 'of the rebels. It Is still announced that the rebels are preparing for an attack with their full force upon Kictherov, and that they expect, if it is successful, to inako a determined attack upon the city of Kio de Janeiro itself.

If this is the case the rebels are sure of meeting with A WARM RFCKPTIOM, As President Peixoto has been long aware of their intention and has taken cp to defend Nictheroy in the most thoroitKh manner, and in view of the brillinnt n-i-'anif which that town has so long made aicainst the reliel fleet, it is believed here that the Uovernnicnt troops will he able to repulse any attack made by tne rebel forces.

Ohio. January 12. There no concealment of the fact that the General Assembly is iu an embarrassing poaiiion ro far ataxatltvn lrgisiauon ia concerned. Everybody is in favor of decreasing the burden of taxatiou and of Increasing the rtate revenue so as to meet th demands upon it. Nobody has a plan formulated, and auggestions ar scarcer than molars lu th mouth of a hen.

In that It road 110 recommeudation oihar than that proposed by tb. Tax Commission, th message of Governor McKinley was a dis appointment to tbe legislators, who expected that aom scheme of relief would be proj-osel. Investigation Is now th order of the hour. and dozens of statesmen ar busy over th records and delving into figures in order to fortify themselves when It comes to argument and preparation of bills. Much of th blame for the decrease In revenue ia laid upon the shoulders ot the Slate Board of Equalization, members of which formed an alilaiice.oflensii and defensive, and proceeded to make it hot and Interesting for their city brethren.

With a wisdom that stow stras sr Li so They reduced the values of farni lands and pushed them upon city property. Buithry fot got to equalize, although th body was called together for no other purpose, aud the mull has been a ateady Had these values not been tampeied with, there would hat been nearly enough revenue assured to have kept the State iu comfortable ease. This valuation must stand for ten rears, ihe period fixed by law. and no relief can be looked from in that 1 direction. A nuiuislr of State officials have been seriously dis cussing the restoration of the two tenths a.

a mill which was taken off th ley in L' thcreaboula. This act waa committed m.ne In the interest of political success than for the betterment of the community at large. It as a bitter disappointment a hen the people, unmindful of the favor, turned out the administration. The restoration of this levy would, of course, com hard upon th peo pie, but THXV MI ST EXPECT TO rFT Some such trouble this winter. There is now not enough revenue to meet the expenses.

To get the money somebody must be taxed. Tne Legislators will naturally look to the corporations first of all. Ther bodies InsL-t that under the constitution they cannot be further taxed. If their claim proves correct then the individual taxpayers must suffer the Increase in taxation, tstate Auditor Poe ia ot th opinion that the time has come to abolish the State school tax. When first Imposed It was a just and equitable measure.

There are now no counties tlutt cannot sup. port their own schools if it were demanded ot them that they do so without extraneous aid. from being a juat measure It has com to totally unjust. For instance, Hamilty County after supporting a most magnificent school system is required to pay to the sup-. port of schools throughout the State.

Cuya hoga County, on the other hand, actually SXVIBAL THOCSARD Or DOLLARS SOU Than It pays into th fund. It la estimated that nearly 2.000 saloons will go' out of business In the State this year. This means a heavy falling off In th Dow tax fund. Tb doubling of th licens fee would not, it is believed. Increase the revenues a particle, for the passage of the act would be th means of driving out of the business thousands of others.

It is therefore likely that the passage of the Wood bill providing for the Increase will not tie pressed. Then besides. It has a danger ous political feature to it. On of the meas ures proposed to bring In revenue la th old schema of taxing Pullman palscs ears, din ing cars and cars used by fast freight lines. It has been figured out by taxing these veuiclas THE MILEAGE FLAM That about ran be turned into th public Treasury each year.

A special pro vision will be made for tb taxing of dining and buffet cars which run within th confines of tbe State. These measures hav all been proposed before and at various times. Some how or other, they failed of passage. Ther ar no grounds for behaving that they will go through at this time. Senator Gear, of Wyandot County, believes In the business principle that when times are bad It Is wise to reduce expense.

With this Idea in view he is working on a bill to reduce th salaries of State official, tbe reduction propose being about 10 per cent. Mr. Gear ha a measure also to increase the fee for Notarial commis sions to S3 and providing that th money shall be turned into th Stat Treasury. At present but SI ls charged, and this goes to the Priva! Secretary of th Governor. With retrenchment as the motto in tb Stat institutions.

It is proposed to go a littl farther and take th mat'er of purchasing stapl auppllea ont of the hands of the stewards of th various estab lishments and place It within a Board of Purchasers. Th stewards ar required under th provisions of this act TO SCBSIIT THE! a WAST To thia board, which will advertise for pro posals. Buying In large quantities, th board could sav a great deal of mony. Th cias ot goods purchased would be tea, coffee, flour, clothing, canned goods. Ac.

Other supplies, such aa vegetables, milk, ice, would bought a heretofore. It ia argued, also, that this would bring about a raieing of the quality of food furnkhtd. AU of thes things ar. however, simply makeshifts, and indicate that there la desire to bring about the ex- peeled end. What is needed most juat now are decisions in the Nichols franchise tax bill and th cigarette bill, both ot which are in the Supreme Court.
