David Dudley Field, the eminent lawyer and jurist, died suddenly at his home, No. 23 firamercy Park, New York City, of pneumonia. He had just returned from England, where he had been visiting his daughter, Lady Mu3grave, and when he landed he seemed in the be3t of health and spirits. Though he was eighty-nine years old, his step was as elastic, his form as erect, as that of a young man. Mr. Field was taken with a eongestive chill three days after his return Itome. His daughter-in-law, Mrs. David Dudley Field, Jr., summoned Dr. Stephen Burt, the family physician, who found that the patient had all the symptoms of pneumonia. The efforts of Dr. Burt proved unavailing, and- Mr. Field ontinuea to sink until the end Anally came. Justice Field was ac once summoned from Washington and arrived during the day. Dr. Henry 31. Field took charge of tho taneral arrangements. Mr. Field's last aaoments were calm and peaceful. He had been in a semi-conscious state all day and the end. when It taallycame, waa without .a,. sound or struggle. The great .Wwyer #eemed merely ?o fall into a deep sleep. His. daughter-inlaw was at the bedside all the time. When the news became known In tj]? city, Mayor ?ilroy caused the flags to be raised at half last on the City Hall. Nearly all the courts adjournal out of respect to Mr. Field's Memory. The death was announced fa the Legislature at Albany, and irt of Tespact to his memory both Houses tdjoarned. In the Assembly a committee was appointed to take appropriate action. It was decided that the funeral be held from Calvary Episcopal Church and that the inter aent be In the old family burying ground %t Stockbridge, Mass. Dsvi' Dudley Field belonged to a family f wiilc i a single generation has set its mark ieep?y upon American history. Himself a jar s: with no superior at the American bar; Cyrus W. Field, known as the layer of the Atlantic cable; Stephen, Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, and Bt-nrv, preacherand editor, are brothers who Mr?h fama onH rorinfofiftn flliVOCa^U QVUiOVOU Ul^M A Ul MUV* 4V^Uiyt?VU( David Dudley Field began life in a very plain .fashion. He was born in Haddam, Conn., on February 13, 1805, and was the eldest of sine children born to his father, a minister, with an annual salary of $500. Out of this mm the tamily was supported, aM three of tee sons received a college educo-. ?n. Young Field had prepared himself forecl ",-e bythe lime he was sixteen years old, ar i oegan a Jepnl course at Williams in 1821. He was admitted to the bar in 1828. Soon after this went to New York and began the practice f his profession, takin? an active part In pit olio affairs almost from the first. Altogether he spent more than sixty years in ac: ive work as a lawyer, and devoted fifty yw.ra to the codification of the laws. His Irst essay on codification was published in 3SJ& His life was a busy one. The first interruption to it was in 1836, wheD, after the ith of his wife, he went abroad and spent" a renr in'travel, many lively pictures of w'uieli appeared afterward in "Sketches Over i)?-Sea." Returning to this country in 1837, JCr. Field considered the reform of the judicial *yitem. Two years later he obtained a ao'iiinntion from the Demoorats for the Assembly, with the view of introducing law reform measure# into the Legislature. But he was defeated. Many law aeiorm tracts were published by Mr. yw>U. In the session of 1853 he pro ured the whole Code of Civil Proeedure to be reported for passage by a com, nittee of the Assembly, and during 1855 the whole Code of Criminal Procedure. The lawleform measures of Mr. Field occupied his thoughts and a large portion of his time for ighteen years. He not only rewived no conpensation, It is sold, lot had to pay the expense of his assistants, amounting to over $6000. Lord Xrougham watched with great interest the rogress of the movement here, and when Mr. Field went to England sought from him i ' the full details of this new legislation. Mr. Keld next considered a "Code of Interne. Monal Law." His ideas met with cordial approval in England. The code was framed pon the Idea that, some time or other the different nations will agree upon a general treaty concerning the subjects discussed in it. The first political speech ever made It Mr. Field was In Tammany Hall, in 1842. cm the nomination of R. H. Morris for Mayor. Deceased was. a Democrat, frat revolted on the slavery question. He aitended the Republican convention at Cbioago in 1860. At the peace congress Mr. Field did all ho could, as,the head *i the New York delegation, to prevent war. Mr: Field, though dissatisfied with the ourse of the Republican party In the matter f reconstruction, still followed the recent aolitioaUies so far as to- vote for Mr. Hayes, feie Democrats, on the retirement from Congress.-.of Smith Sly, offered Mr. Field the nomination, which he accepted, ad was elected. It was early in January when ha took his seat, so that he was a joember of the House of Representatives but eight weeks. Mr. Field had been three times ?arried. His first wife was Jane L. Hopkins to irhflrtt. ha was wedded in 1829. Tbev had three cuildren, Dudley Field, lorn November 28, 1880; Jeanle Luclnde, ?ctober 9, 1883, and Isabella. April 3, 1835.

A It Sent a Half-Ton Projectile Through a Twelve-Inch Steel Plate. Haval ordnance officers fired two shots trom the big thirteen-inch gen at Indian Head proving grounds near Washington, a Jew days ago, which proved to their complete satisfaction that the gun is a magnificent weapon, probably unsurpassed for all practical purposes. The occasion for firing the great rifie was to test the nickel Bteel projectiles, each weighing more than half a Ion. Tbe target was a t welve-iixch nickel steel plate, and both bells went entirely through it, one of them breaking to pieces and the other remaining totact after it had cleared the plate. The Carpenter shell was unburt by the operation of xushing Its half-ton mass through a foot of solid steel, which is exactly what the ordaance officials have been looking for as a aceans of testing the great s^venteen-inch armor for the battle ships. The tests were therefore only preliminary to tho trials for the acceptance or condemnation of the heaviest armor plates yet made in this county. In a few days it is probable that the thirteen inch gun will be aimed Bt the typical battleship plates, with results that will be anxiously awaited by the Navy Department and the armor contractors. After these tests the big gun's ranft-e will be tried by 3ong shots down the Potomac River. A DEPtriPATios from the British Central Association Chambers of Agriculture urged before Mr. H.

Trouble has been brewing between tho Water Board and the Polish laborers engaged to lay the pipe extensions east of the waterworks, near Connor's Creek, four miles from Detroit, Mich., over the question of wages \ for some days.

Peixoto Again Rules In Rio Grande do Sul?The Last Act at the Play at War In Rio Harbor. 1DMIEAL DE MELLO. The Brazilian rebellion has collapsed completely. The military forces of President Peixoto have driven the insurgent out of the State of Bio Grande do Sul, and the defeated and discomfited Admiral de Mello has disembarked 1500 insurgent troops on the frontier ot Uruguay and surrendered himself and his command to the Uru?<???? wlin hovA H icnrm aHI ?UajUU ?? -v umiw them. Though the state of slesre at Rio -de Janeiro has been extended to June 13, ltt is believed that Hello's surrender will enable the Brazilian Government to raise the siege within a much shorter time. The Uruguayan Government, after having been notified by Mello of his desire to surrender, sent out a battalion of infantry to receive his submission. The commanding officer, after conferring with Mello, accepted his sword and placed him and his followers formally under arrest. Mello landed his men from the Republica. Admiral da Gama has caused the publication of a protest against the treatment ne received at the hands of the commander of the Portuguese war ship Mindello. He declares that the Portuguese Captain, after offering him an asylum on board his vessel, detained him and the olher Brazilians, refusing to permit them to land, in spite of the fact, the Admiral alleges, that the Argentine authorities had signified their willingness to receive them. A'iispatch from Rio de Janeiro, saysThe naval revolution in Brazil came to an inglorious end March f3. Its finale was as farcial as its succession of incidents (scarcely worthy thenameof events) were grotesque in the eyes of the foreigners who looked upon them with impartial interest. President Peixoto brought nine craft, unworthy of resppctable consideration as menof-war, fnto the bay. At the same time Admiral Saldanha da Gama and his insurgent ? a~A ICllUtWlUUCiO uou uum iugu itviow tuctu uov less craft, abandoned Yillegagnon, Ihla das Cobras and Mocangue Islands without firing a shot, and huddled like fugitive sheep under the white Geneva cross, on Euchadas Island. Of the number of men who surrendered no trustworthy account can be obtained. The etories vary from 900 to 1700, but it is now proved beyond doubt, as was often asserted 'by the United Press, that fewer than 500 effective fighting men remained under Da Gama's command. Of the number killed on each side no account has been or will be made. But a reasonable estimate shows that Da Gama and Mello together carried out about 2000 men and cadets. This number was Increased by volunteers who managed to reach the ships singly and in groups orf two and three, until perhaps 500 men were added. There remain all told, sick, wounded, untrained laborers, and i marines, from 1200 to 1300, while Mello may . have carried out of port, when he ostensibly . went south for recruit?, as many as 800. It is therefore guessed that the rebels lost in killed not far from 500 men. It is still more difficult to make an esti- J mate of Government losses, but it is acknowledged on all sides that the Government lost more than the insurgents did in every fight during the raids made along ( shore by the insurgent tugs. The Nordenfelt and Hotchkiss guns often worked great destruction to the soldiers guarding the piers, when the rebels rarely lost a man. Indeed, so bad were the marksmen on shore that the tug Captains used to sit on stools outside the pilot houses, smoking cigarettes while raiding the shore line under what the Government called "the heated persecution by the valorous and invincible defenders of the Republic." According to Baron Cabo Frio, of the Foreign Office, it was because so many soldiers had been killed that Peixoto refused to offer Da Gama any terms worth considering at the time thtf rebel Admiral applied to Admiral Eenham for arbitration. On the whole, from 1000 to 1200 soldiers were killed about the bay in the skirmishes that occurred during the six months of warfare. While Da Gama's flight does not end the war, it ends the present danger of the republican form of Government, and in that every American can properly congratulate Brazil. A war is still on in tne soutn, Dut it is not ror the cause which Da Gamn represented. The people of Rio Grande do Sul and of Sa>ta Catharina bare been fighting for about two years to resist such repressive and , unconstitutional acts as the removal of their Governors by the central authority. Peixoto did that, and was aided and advised in it by Mello until Mello saw his own aspirations to become President blocked by his ohief. Then he deserted Peixoto, as he had previously deserted the Emperor and the first President. He took advantage of the war In the south and of the discontent in the navy, which was grumbling ''because the army had the cheese and the knife both," and created a revolt In the bay. The rebellion in the south was justified. Mello's revolt was an infamous attempt to gratify personal ambition at the expense of the lives and prosperity of Brazilians. Although he had complete control of the bay and a dozen well-armed ships, Melk) failed to take the city or arouse an insurrection there. There was a widespread passive sympathy for him, due solely to a hatred of Peixoto's domineering policy. But Mello's fight had failed by the end of November. Then came Da Gama, who, as head of the naval school on Enchados and Cobras islands, had proclaimed himself neutral. Da Gama was a monarchist. He took charge of the insurgent forces in the bay and issued a proclamation which meant that he intended to reestablished monarchy. Mello, with the men-ofwar Aauidaban rvnd Rpoublica left the harbor ostensibly to go south to organize helping forces there and to go north to intercept tha Government fleet coming from New York. Both these objects could have been easily accomplished, but Mello turned traitor to Da Gama as he had turned traitor to all the rest wbo had befriended him. Hope deferred made Da Gama's heart sick before January had ended, but he was nagged into holding on by the English, | royalist and church sympathizers on shore. The Aquidaban came back for a brief interval and several small islands were taken from the Government. Then came the heroic attack on Armacao on the morning of February 9. At the head of his crew of perhaps 50") men Da Gama carried the along shore forts by storm, but when, in their enthusiasm, the sailors rushed up the streets to the public plaz3. they we. e overwhelmed by the flood of 3000 Government soldiers that came down upon them. Da Gama did all that he had originally intended to do. but more than 200 of his men were left behind. His last tight was made. ; Nevertheless, ho still had hope. Hi?friends actively vaunted his cause on tho streets and secretly intrigued to keep tin ! Government fleet from coming.
