WW THE ' PITTSBURG "DISPATCH, STOTDAY, NOVEMBER -24$ 1889. X s??xt '-3, -it 1?'? : i DANGER FOR BRAZIL ,1 -Germany May Interfere Yiilh the Infant American Eepublic. DOM PEDKO'S SAILOR GRANDSON To be Supported for the Exiled Monarch's Fallen Throne. EDSSIA IS NOT QUITE SO WARLIKE. Emperor Vrilliara sail Eeftmcs His Assent to Ills Sister's Betrothal. Germany will be in no haste to recognize the United States of Brazil, and may even take hostile steps against the new Govern ment. The Coburg family will support the pretensions of Prince Pedro, a grandson of the late Emperor, to the throne. The Ger man press refers in a very unfriendly man ner to the revolutionists. Seblik, isovember 23. Copyright. The news from Brazil is watched with in tense interest. Public opinion tends to donlit the permanence of the Republic. The 2k'orth German Gazette referring to the probable necessity of sending war ships to protect German interests, says: "Though the Brazilians dislike the sight of blood, the revolt may yet endanger the lives of foreign residents. Tne present wielders of power must be named to avoid measures that must lorce European States to inter fere to protect their countrymen." The Kreuz Zeitung holds that the recogni tion oi the Bcpublic is impossible on the mere success of a pronunciamento; that the voice ot a constituent assembly must first be heard. Cable disp-itches to Hamburg firms assert that tne new Ministry is divided by fierce personal quarrels, that General Dafon tccas dictatorial manners irritate his col leagues, and that bis resignation is desired. THE FEEI.IXG IX GERMAXY. Any such item indicating a want of co hesion in the new government of Brazil finds prominence in the semi-official press here. A p-ediction which finds some cred ence is that the Eepublic will break into three States equatorial, central and south ern, the latter having a large German pop ulation, claiming the protection of the Fatherland. On the Bourse, lollowing the Paris impulse, Brazilian loans were sold heavily, as were also shares or the banks concerned therein. The Deutsche Bank has thought it necessary to issue a notice stat ing that it is not "interested in Brazilian finances. The members of the Cobourg family, who are related to Dom Pedro, met at Vienna yesterday to consider what action they should take in the event of the appearance of svstenis of a Monarchist reaction. Tele grams from Lisbon were read at the meeting expressing hope of the restoration of the monarchv. The family feeling is in favor of an attempt to place Dom Pedro's sailor grandson, Prince Pedro, upon the throne. It has been deciaed, however, to await the arrival of the exiled Emperor. THE ETJSSIAN SITUATION. The terms of the trnce between Austria and Bnssia, which Prince Bismarck forced upon Count Kalnoky, are already partly fulfilled on the Bnssian side. The Czar has stopped the Panslavist Committee from sending agents into Bulgaria, and peremp torily warned them not to fostor any agita tion. The Austrian side brought about the rupture of the proposed marriage of Prince Ferdinand to the Princess d'Alencon. The Austrian Financial Minister re fused to allow on the Bourse the quotation of the A.anderbaks loan to Bulgaria Count Kalnoky has instructed the Austrian Con Euljin Sofia to modiiy his partisanship in behalf of Prince Ferdinand. Finally, Emperor Francis Joseph, though resenting the suggestion of the session of Trentino to Italy, has consented to grant to Trentino an autonomous local administration, separate from tbe German Tyrol of which it has hitherto formed a part. The members of the Italian Tyrol will henceforth assemble at Trent. The Diet at Innsbruck supported the separation. Em peror Francis Joseph has also ordered the release of several irredentists imprisoned at Innsbruck, including Rossi and Zampieri, editors of the Italian Independents who were convicted of treason. ONLY FOBSIAL CONCESSIONS. These concessions amount practically to little. If the Innsbruck Diet had not voted for the separation of Trentino Emperor Francis Joseph would not have acceded to the proposal. A further reason for his giv ing his assent is that by doing so a stop was put to the maneuevring of Signor Crispi, the Italian Premier, lor the annexation of Trentino to Italy. Signor Crispi has now abandoned his intention of visiting Prince Bismarck at Freidrichsruhe. The German conrt will leave Potsdam on Thursday and come to Berlin for the winter season, which promises to be the most brilliant ever known to the Empire, and to make up for the long periods of mourning. Numerous fetes will be given at the Schloss. Household Minister Paesdorff has advised the dinlomatic corps of the changes in the court. Emperor 'William's visit to Darmstadt is fixed tor the 8th ult. The Emperor intends to quarrel with the Grand Dukeof Hesse for the part taken by him in the Morier af fair. TWO XOVEBS SEPARATED. The Emperor still withholds his assent to the betrothal of his sister Margaret to the Czarowitz. Prince Bismarck is reported as approving the match. The Princess herself is willing, since meeting her suitor at Ath ens. The reluctance of the Emperor is attributed to the weekly constitution of the Czarowitz. The fact that the Princess is a Lutheran is no obstacle to the match, as she is ready to join the Greek Orthodox Church. Prince Bismarck is expected to take part in the debate on the second reading of the Socialist bill in the Beichstag on Tuesday. The elections in Berlin for renewing one third of tbe members of the Municipal Council resulted in tne return of 34 Progressists and 6 Socialists. A CLOUD CEKTAUi TO BURST. England's Latest Scnndnl at Present on the Tongues of Everybody. OT CABLE TO THE PIsrATCH.1 -London, November 23. England is under a cloud of scandal, already briefly alluded to in these columns, that is now cer tain to burst and involve honored names in disgrace perhaps even greater than the recent "modern Babylon" disclosures brought upon the families of the partici pants in those crimes. Although everv possible influence has been brought to bear to keep the loathsome story quiet, it is to-day on the tongues of everybody, and is only kept out ot tbe newspapers throngh the severe and unjust libel laws that han per the English press. But even this safeguard for the guilty will not avail when Parliament meets, for Labouchere and other enemes of hereditary aristocracy have obtained the de tails of the scandal and will insist upon an investigation. It may even come out before then, since the Earl of Euston, whose name has been mentioned in connection with this case, to-day swore out a warrant against the editor of the Xbrth London Press, who is also a leader writer on the Star, charging him with criminal libel in publishing arti cles charging Euston with being corcerued in the scandal. "Whether this is a bluff on Euston's part, or whether he believes he can clear himself and does not care what becomes of the others implicated, remains to be seen. Ernest Parke, the editor in question, is a hard working-journalist who has the respect ot his associates, as well lor character as for ability. A MONOPOLY IN MATCHES. Tbe French Government Will Take the Manufacture Into Its Own Hands. PAKt. November 23. In the Chamber of Deputies to-day article 3 of the measure proposed by M. Leydet in favor of allowing the free manufacture of matches was re jected. This action resulted in the with drawal of the bill. M. Kouvier, Minister oi Finance, thereupon announced that the Government would establish a direct mo nopoly of the business. WHOLESALE POISOSING. Ilacsnrtan Fortune Tellers Furnish Poison to Dissatisfied Wives. Vienna, November 23. The Nagy Becskrek inquiry, which has been going on for the last seven years with the object of discovering the causes of a large number of sudden deaths that have occurred there, has resulted in proving that 33 of the victims were poisoned. Most ot them were married. Female fortune tellers supplied the wives of the victims with poison. Fifty-seven ar rests have been made. HIT THE WKONG MAN. A Pocllist Hired to Tlirnsh a Pollcemnn Illakes a Mistake An Innocent Cap tain of tbo Force Gets the Beating; Intended for nis Subordinate. rsnCIAL TELEGRAM TO TUX PISPATCn.1 Haktfoed, Conn., Xovember 23. In the early part of this week Captain Leach, of Putnam, was assaulted by Frank Merrill. Leach was coming out of a store when Mer rill fell upon him and beat him almost into insensibility. Behind the assault lies a very " unique story. Some months ago Officer Arnold, of Putnam, was called upon to arrest a tramp, who was going through Putnam, begging from house to house. He appeared against him in court, and the follow was sent to jail. It subsequently tnrned out that the "tramp" was a respectable citizen of Newark, X. J., who in some way not explained, hap pened to be in temporarily destitute circumstances in Putnam. He and his friends felt indignant at the treat ment he had received, and seemed to consider Officer Arnold the cause of it. They accordingly hired Frank Merrill.a professional prize fighter, well known in Newark, to go to Putnam and "do up" Arnold when he found a favorable opportu nity. Merrill went to Putnam and entered the employ of the New York and New England Bailroad. He waited some time before he found the chance to make the at tack Some one of whom he inquired told him that Officer Arnold was in a certain saloon. Merrill went to the saloon and found a man jnst coming out He asked him if Arnold was inside. It so happened that Officer Arnold was not in side, but Captain Leach, whoae first name is Arnold, was. The stranger thought that Merrill referred to Leach, and said: "Yes, here he comes now." Merrill, supposing Leach was Arnold, be gan to beat him and abused him fearfully before the amazed bystanders interfered. Merrill was arrested and is now in jail. Leach is confined to his bed. BEGGS HAS A STRONG CASE. One of tbe Cronin Suspects In No Dancer of Conviction. rFPZCIAI. TK.EOKAM TO THE DIEPATCH.: CHICAGO, November 23. On the open ing of the Cronin trial this morning Attor ney Forrest arose and said that he had been inlormed that his witness, Thomas Lynch, was too ill to appear, and that he would therefore waive Lynch s testimony and rest his case. Then followed a consultation be tween the Judge and counsel for both sides. "When the talk was over, the Judge leaned forward and said that a recess would be taken till 10 o'clock Monday morning, and that evidence for the defense was practicall all in, though more could be introduced on Monday it it was so de sired. If the defense has no more witnesses the State will at once begin its rebuttal. Whether or not the defense will have any more witnesses no one ran tell. The attor neys themselves are in the dark. It is thought, too, however that an attempt will be made to prove an alibi for Kunze, as scarcely anything has been done tor him. Attorney Forrest does not expect to introduce any "more evidence. Forrest will probably not have any. Wing certainty will not and Donahne, the only one leit, says he cannot tell. The leelmg arouud the Criminal Court is that the evidence so far given is sufficient to convict all the suspects but Beggs. His attorneys brought some very strong evidence from respectable members of Camp 20, and there is nothing now on which the Senior Guardian can be held. AN EXPERT DIVER'S SCHEME. He Destroys a Sob-Marino Tunnel to Pro vide Work for Himself. Cleveland, November 23. Several months ago John O'Brien, of New York, came here with a picked gang of men to work on the new water works , tunnel. The tunnel extends into and under the lake for a mile from shore. It has been a source of much trouble to the contractor and the city because of quicksand which has threatened that part of it which has been finished, as well as the lives ot tbe men employed upon its construction. O'Brien is an expert in the use of com pressed air, and he was brought here to combat the quicksand. He did what he was hired to do. The quicksand, 80 feet under Lake Erie and TOO feet from shore, was successfully passed, and the compressed air was let out of the tunnel. The afternoon there was great excitement in the tnnnel. Bricks tumbled out of the side and quicksand and water came pouring in in an unbroken stream. The workmen fled for their lives and escaped death in a most remarkable manner. An investiga tion proved that the brick wall of the tun nel had been cut purposely, and O'Brien was suspected of having done it. The contractor and city officials declared that O'Brien had cut the wall in order to prolong his engagement at a fancy salary. The matter was laid before the grand jury, where it is said one of O'Brien's picked men turned State's evidence, and the result was an indictment against the New York diver. He was arrested to-night and locked up. THE FEDERAL STEEL COHPAM Strengthened by tbe Allegiance of Another Barbed Wire Firm. Cleveland, November 23. The com mittee of the directors of the Federal Steel Company, Messrs. John W. Gates, of St Louis, and George "W. Douglass, of New York, are still at the "Weddell House and appear to be in no haste to leave Cleveland. At the coming election of the officers, which will probably be held in Chicago next week, Mr. Gates will he chosen President of the new company, and Mr. Oliver, of Pittsburg, Vice President. It is probable that Mr. Douglass will he elected Secretary. Thus the three promoters of the consolidation, who have labored early and late since last March to effect the com bination, will be well provided for. Mr. Douglass said this evening that the onlv important development of the day was that the Gulf "Wire Companv, of St, Louis, had consented to cast their lot with the con solidation. The Gulf Company, he said, was rapidly coming to the front as a barbed wire producer in the South, and its future success was most promising. Mr. Douglass thought that, without a doubt, the Gulf Works would remain in operation after its absorption. Snys He Stole a Wagon. Michael Byan yesterday lodged an in formation before Magistrate McKenna charging Michael McGinty with larceny. Byan accuses McGinty of stealing a wagon loaded with potatoes, and a set ot harness from him, and selling them. McGinty was committed to jail for a hearing Tuesday. POBAKER POR MYERS. For Some Peculiar Kenson tbe Governor Wonld Like to See Allen O. a United Simca Senator Brice Consid ered Away Ahead of all " Competitors In the Race. SriCIAL TELZQBA1I TO THE DI6FATCII.1 Columbus, O., November 23. Governor Foraker said to-day he did not believe there was anything in the scheme reported from Hamilton, in which the brother-in-law of ex-President Cleveland is said to have been trying to make arrangements for a Cleve land and Campbell ticket in 1892. The thing, he thought to be preposterous on its face, and he gives Mr. Cleveland the credit of too much sense to do business that way. Foraker says Allen O. Myers is the man to go to the United States Senate, and he hopes he will get there. He thinks Myers would make things decidedly interesting. Governor-elect Campbell hasbeen commu nicated with and states that the visit of Mr. Bacon waa of a purely social character, and that the subject of Fresidental nominations wa not mentioned between them. Outside the scramble for minor offices under Governor-elect Campbell, there has been little during this week to vary; the monotony in a political way. The visit of Hon. Calvin S. Brice caused somewhat of a flurry among visiting statesmen here, but Mr. Brice's sudden departure for the East left a sort of mystery about the Senatorial situation. Mr. Brice and Mr. Thomas, of Springfield, are the only ones who have been doing active work in the past few days. Thomas is going over the State from place to place, making personal appeals to mem bers of the Legislature. The success with which he is meeting can only be guessed at from general expressions which have been heard on the part of Democrats. Some of Brice's friends who have been over the State came in to-day, and reported that Thomas is practically out oi the race, and that he has received nothing that would be considered encouraging by a politician. Prominent Democrats "who are not par ticularly interested in any one candidate express the opinion that'there will be no contest when the time comes to select a Sen ator. The sentiment in favor of Brice has grown so steadily that he is substantially without opposition. One Democrat, who knows what he is talking about, says Brice could have been elected without coming into the State. The friends of the National Chairman say John A. McMahon, of Day ton, is the only candidate who can be con sidered in the light of opposition to Brice. Mr. Brice left word that he would return to Ohio after Thanksgiving and look after his Senatorial chances. AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA. Small Chance of Escape forthe Missing Men of tbe Manhattan. isrxctAi, TELIOUAM TO Till DIBPATCn.l New Yoek, November 23. The officers and crew who escaped from the iron steam ship Manhattan, of the Old Dominion line, which was sunk early 'Wednesday by the coal schooner Agnes Manning, about two miles off Fenwick's Island lightship, reached New York this morning. Two officers and ten men, bringing with them the body of Chief Engineer C. G. Hayden, came from New London by the City of "Worcester. Tbe purser and seven men came by tbe Stonington boat. From tbe officers the following list ot the ten missing men was obtained: Frank LindTos, seaman; Frank McKenna, fireman; Bichard Bing ham, fireman; Toby Peterson, fireman; Henry Roman, coal passer; James Bider, colored, waiter; Joseph Davis, colored, pas senger; James C. Tobin, colored, passenger; "William Vaughn, passenger. Captain Jenney said to-day that there was little chance that the missing men had been rescued. He is convinced that only one boat and one life rait floated from the Man hattan when she went down. Chief En gineer C. G. Havden had been in the em plovof the Old Dominion Company for nearly 20 years. He leaves a widow and four children. The Slerritt Wrecking Company has sent on two tugs, with ap paratus, from Norfolk, to raise the Man hattan it possible, and if not to save her cargo. BAKE BUESLAES HAVE BIGHTS Which tbe Law Must Respect, According to Governor Hill's Decision. Albany, N. Y., November 23. A most interesting hearing was held in the Execu tive chamber before Governor Hill on Mon day last as to whether James Hope, the noted bank burglar, should be handed over to the Delaware authorities. Hope was then under arrest, and in the custody of Police Inspector Byrnes, of New York. Mr. Charles W. Brooke de'ended Hope at the hearing, and the bank bniglar has been in the Tombs in New York awaiting the decision of Governor Hill. Governor Hill to-day decided to revoke the warrant heretofore issued for the arrest of Hope on a requisition from the Governor of Delaware for Hope's removal to that State to serve out an unexpired sentence. It ap peared that Hope was compnlsorily brought into this State from California on a requisi tion issued from this State, and that upon his release from prison here be was im mediately arrested upon a requisition from Delaware. Governor Hill has filed an elaborate de cision, holding that Hope was entitled to a reasonable time to return to California after his release here, and hence that bis arrest was premature. The point of law is an in teresting one, in regard to which there have heretofore been many conflicting decisions. Hope is now in custody in the city of New York, and under Governor Hill's decision he must be discharged and given an oppor tunity to return to California if he so de- TELESCOPED BT A CANXON-BALL.

A QUORUM PREYfi-NTED BI DEMOCRATS. The Bepnllicans in Joint Caucus Present Their Side of the Case. The Montana Legislature made an at tempt to organize yesterday. The outcome was that parts of two organizations were effected. The Bepublicans met in a public hall and the Democrats in the Court House. Officers were elected by each of the two Lower House branches, but the Senate couldn't organize, the Democrats not ap pearing and thus preventing a quorum. .'SPECIAL TILIPKAM TO THE PISrATCB.l Helena, Mont., November 23. The Lower Honse of the Legislature organized this afternoon in two branches, the Bepub licans meeting in a hall on Main street and the Democrats in the Court House. The Bepublicans had 30 members, two more than a quorum. The body was called to order by State Auditor Kenney, and sworn in by Chief Justice Blake. The organization was perfected by the election of A. C. Wit ter, of Beaver Head county, Speaker, and Benjamin Webster, of Lewis and Clarke counties, Chief Clerk. A lull list of sub ordinate officers was also elected, and a recess was taken until 3 o'clock. The Democrats organized with Mr. Blakely, of Gallatin county, as Speaker. The members were sworn in by a notary public The doors were closely guarded. No one was admitted except those holding certificates of election from county clerks. This branch also took a recess. OEQA2IIZATION PEEVENTED. The Senate met at the Court House, but the Democratic members absented them selves, and there was no quorum. Lieu tenant Governor Bickards called the Sen ate to order. On the roll call eight Be publicans were present and were sworn in by Judge Hunt, after which they adjourned until Monday morning. Governor Toole to-day issued a proclama tion recognizing holders of County Olerk certificates as entitled to organize the Legis lature, and designating the Court House as the place where they shall meet for that pur pose. This excludes the holders of canvass ing board certificates. In a caucus of Republican Senators and Bepresentatives this evening, the action ot the Republican House members in organ izing separately from theJDemocratic menv was explained. It was stated that the Re publican action was based upon the promises of the Governor that none wonld be permitted to participate in the House or ganization, or recognized as having. BIGHTS AS MEMBERS, except those holding certificates of election from County Clerks. Without notice from the Governor that he had secured rooms for the members of the respective Houses he, by proclamation, ordered the members to meet in certain designated places that, until the last mo ment before the hour appointed, were locked and guarded against the admission of all persons, with no prospect or promise bnt that such places would continue to be under the Governor's personal control. Bather than submit to snch "inquisitorial supervision and restrictions," the Bepub licans, with the officer designated by law to call the House to order, proceeded to organ ize elsewhere. As the Senate contains an equal number of Bepublicans and Democrats, there could be no coutest of the right oi the Lieutenant Governor to preside over the convention. The Democratic members in a staid way prevented organization. LOVE'S Y0MG DEEAM. A Bor of 18 Elopes With a Little Girl of 14 "Harried Under False Names Rase of the Girl's Father and Brothers. rSriCIAI. TZLKOBA1J TO THE PISrATCH.1 St. Paul, Minn., Novrmber23. Alfred Young, 18 years old, the son of a well-to-do and respected citizen of Brooklyn, N. Y., is the hero of an elopement. The girl in the case is Kittv Kenny, a pretty, black-eyed little miss ot 14. Kitty is the daughter of Timothy Kenny, a locomotive engineer in the employ of the Omaha Bailway. She has been boarding, however, with Mrs. Bear don. Young came to St. Paul last spring, since when he has held a clerical position in the office of President Oakes, of the Northern Pacific. He has been boarding at Mrs. Beardon's,and there fell in love with Kitty. Her brother heard of Xoung's attention last week, and told him in so many words that if he didn't let the girl, absolutely alone he wonld shoot him, and he showed the weapon he proposed to do the execution with. Young fled from the boarding house, but clandestinely met Kitty, and yesterday the children ran. away to Hudson, Wis. They asked two clergymen to marry them, but both refused. They then tried a subterfuge which worked to a charm. They went to the home of Justice Randall, and, under the names of George Francis Perkins and Etta Bailey, aged 22 and 18 years, were finally married. Mr. and Mrs. George Francis Perkins registered at tbe Central Hotel, in Hudson, and spent the night there. To-day they returned to St. Paul, where they put up at a hotel. When Timothy Kenny, the girl's father, learned of the affair he became furious. After calming down a little he said: "Why, Kit's only a child. She never had on a long dress' till three months ago." Then, walking the floor a few moments, he said: "I'll never see her again. If she knows what's best for her she will never come to her old home again. If I ever meet Young I'll shoot him on the spot." FORMAL RECOGNITION Of the New Republic Requested by the Brazilian minister. Washington, November 23. Dr. Val ente, the Brazilian Minister, to-day re ceived a cablegram from Bio Janeiro stating that United States Minister Adams had es tablished relations with the Government now in control of afiairs in that country. This information he com municated to the State Department, and it is reported that he urged upon the Secretary the expediency of this Govern ment instrncting Minister Adams to com plete the act of lormal recognition. While it is doubtless felt by the' State Department that the United States of Brazil has been established upon a permanent basis, it is probablethat the act of formally recognizing through our Minister will be postponed until there is an official head or chief execu-' tive chosen in pursuance of some regular method. A meeting of Congress in Brazil has been called for next month, when the new Repub lic will probably be launched with a com plete organization. When that is accom plished, the question of formal recognition by this Government will probably not bo delayed.

HOWABD 0NPEM0NS. The General Snys the People Are Not Yet In Favor of a Service Pension Ho Thinks One Should be Es tablished la 1S05. New York, November 23. Major Gen eral O. O. Howard, of the United States Army, at a meeting of the Military Service Institute held this afternoon in Military Hall, on Governor's Island, read a paper on "The Military and Naval Pensions of the United States." General Howard said that the first pension eyer granted was when Congress, in 1776, acting under a recommen dation made by Washington, passed a joint resolution to secure a fair pension to all those of the late war. It was not until 1818 that Congress granted service pensions; all those prior to that date being given for dis ability. Up to 1888 the total number of Revolutionary pensions of all kinds was 62,069, and these had cost the Government in round figures $38,500,000. As to the War of 1812 the speaker said the total number of beneficiaries up to June, 1888, were 60,670, and the amount paid $36,310,256. In 1816 tbe navy and militia were included, and reaped the same benefit as the army. To the veterans of the Mexican War and their families the same pension service was granted as in the War of 181?, and 24,724 claims were allowed at a cost to the Gov ernment of about 513,000,000. In 1862 Congress passed a bill to give to all those in the army and navy of the United States a pension upon the same con ditions granted to the regular army. Thus the resulting roll of pensioners was very large, numbering 630,026 and costing the Government over 51,000,000,000. The Gen eral advised the appointment of a special commission of seven to revise all pension legislation. At present the people were not in favor of a general service pension. He considered it right to hegin the payment of such a pension in 1895, which would be 30 years after the close of the war. General Howard said that in granting the pensions he thought it would be expedient to examine each claim and suspend payment until such an inspection was completed. DEATH IN A MINE. An Incendiary Fire in the Anncoada Work lugs Nine Men Missing and Prob ably Suffocated Prospects of Heavy Financial Loss. Butte, Mont., November 23. A fearful disaster occurred in the Anaconda mines to-day. Flames were discovered by Neal McCabe, a miner working on the 600-foot level of the St. Lawrence mine, in a cross cut and after an unsuccessful attempt to suppress the apparently small fire with his coat he got help and the men tried to drown out the flames. They were soon driven out of the mine by heat and smoke, and as the fire occurred at 5 o'clock in the morning, between change of shifts, only a few were down, all of whom got out safe. There was a quantity of powder, in the lower levels and to save the mine from dis aster by its explosion several men volun teered to remove it. A current of air from the St. Lawrence to the Anaconda sucked the workings of the former clear of smoke while carrying the fire to the Anaconda. The Anaconda consists almost entirely of tim bers above the 600-foot level, and the resnlt of the burning of these timbers will be a cave-in of disastrous proportions. Al though the presence of a large amount of carbonic acid gas made it very dangerous the men willingly volun teered to take the risk. Two trips were made successfully but the third was fatal in two cases. Keller, a brakeman, was over come on the cage coming up and fell back into the shaft. John Lyons was also overcome and fell on the cage his head striking the timbers when near the top, and fracturing the skull. Pat Murphy and Henry Page were overpowered at the 800-foot level. Other men went down to save them, but had to leave them, having a narrow escape themselves from suffocation. The latest report is that there are nine men belonging to the mine unaccounted for, and they are undoubtedly dead by this time. Incendiarism or carelessness are the two causes assigned for the fire.: r. The Anaconda Mines constitute the great est system of copper mines in the world and the capital is estimated at $20,000,000. COUET COST0MS "IN FIJI. The Judge Plays a Jewsbarp to Keep Tblngs Lively. Cornblll Msgailne.l The gala dresses are not a little startling. Here is a dignified old gentleman arrayed in a second-hand tunic of a marine, in much the same plight as to buttons as its owner as to teeth; near him stands a fine young village policeman, whose official gravity is not enhanced by the swallow tailed coat of a nigger minstrel; while the background is taken np by a bevy of village maidens clad in gorgeous velvet pinafores, who are giggling after the manner of their white sisters until.they are fixed by the stern gray eye of the chief policeman, which turns their expression into one of that preternatural solemnity they wear in church. The Court House, a native building carpeted with mats, is now packed with natives, sitting cross-legged, only a small place being reserved in lront of the table for the accused and witnesses. The magistrate takes his seat, and his scribe, sitting on the floor at his side, pre pares his writing materials to record the sentences. The dignity with which the old gentleman adjusts his shirt collar and clears his throat is a little marred when he pro duces from his bosom what should have been a pair of pince-nez, seeing that it was se cured by a string round his neck, but is in fact a jew's-harp. With the soft notes of this instrument the man of law is wont to beguile tbe tedium of a dnll case. But, although the spectacle of Lord Coleridge gravely performing on the jew's-harp in court wonld a least excite surprise in En gland, it provokes no smile here. CHEESE MADE IN CATES. Gorgonzola, a Rlclilv Favored Edible That Comes From Italy. Detroit Free Press. "Here is a new importation in cheese," said the creamery man on Woodward avenue, as he exhibited a mound that re sembled cream and moss. "This is gorgon zola, a cheese made in the mushroom caves of Italy. The curd is prepared first; then it is taken into the cave and kept there to ripen and get that lungus streak through it." It was decidedly rich and sumptuous eat ing, and had that nutty flavor which old cheese acquires. "How much a pound?" was asked. "It sells rapidly, at 60 cents a pound. Our customers prefer it to Boquefort cheese, to which family it belongs. It came to us direct from Italv. This is the way it is done up. There was a lattice work of fine slats, woven together with cord, wrapped entirely around the cheese. A CANAL BOAT SUNK. A River Tragedy Which is Shrouded In Mystery. SFZCIAZ, TZLEOKAX TO TBE DISPATCH. New Yoek, November 23. Early Friday morning a canal boat was in some mysterious' manner dashed to pieces in the river near Dobbs' Ferry and probably all on board lost their lives. All that is known about the disaster is what is shown by the frag mentary wreckage which has been picked up in the river or has been washed ashore. This gives evidence, that the boat was sud denly destroyed by some terrific shock. The craft was probably the Alice Carley, of West Troy, Edward A. Dngan, Captain. There is nothing to indicate the cause oi the acci dent or exact (pot of its occurrence. DAMON AND PYTHIAS. Ex-Senator Sewel!, of New Jersey, Harrison's Boon Companion. OFTEN CALLED TO THE CAPITAL To Consult With the President on Matters of Importance. A MEMBER OP THE KITCHEff CABINET. Several Appointments Can be Triced Directly to Bis Influence. President Harrison has a confidental ad viser in the person of ex-Senator Sewel, of .New Jersey, who is said to have more in fluence with him than any member of the Cabinet. Mr. Sewell is frequently sum moned to the White House for the purpose of consultation. rsrrciAi, telioiiam to thx dispatcim Teehton, N. J., November 23. The trip that ex-Senator William J. Sewell, of this State, took with President Harrison last week when the latter went duck shoot ing down in Maryland, has con firmed the report of Harrison's affection for Sewell. Ont of all his political associates, the President selected the Jerseyman to go off on a quiet little ex cursion with him. There was a railroad man also in the party, it is true, but he was only a chance selection. It is conceded by those close both to Sewell and the administration that the President has made a boon companion and a confidential adviser of the ex-Senator from this small Commonwealth. The intimacy began when both men were in the Senate. It continued after both had left. It became firmer when the Indiana politician was elected President, and it has grown into the closest and most confident relations during the months since Harrison became the occu pant of the White House. Sewell goes to the White Honse much more frequent than is gennerally known. For awhile the Jerseyman's visits to Wash ington were accorded no significance. It was supposed be went merely to consult about appointments for his State. That the President "had granted the ex-Jersey Sen ator all his requests for appointments has been understood from the start, but it was not supposed that the friendship extended beyond local favors. X COXFISENTIAI. ADVISER. Last week's trip, however, has brought some interesting inside facts to light. If William Joyce oewell is not a Pythias to Harrison as Damon, he comes mightily near filling that role. Sewell has been let into all the secrets of the administration since the inauguration of the President He has been, so to speak, an ex-officio mem ber of the Cabinet. It is believed he knew of the important appointment! before the Cabinet did. That he could haveTgone into the Cabinet had he chosen is the assertion ot those posted on the subject. He has been, and is, the father oonfessor of the administration. Untold times lias he received a mes sage at his railroad office in Camden late in the afternoon. A few honrs later he was flying toward Washington, which he reached about dawn. Occasionally he went to a hotel and break fasted, but more often he went to a restau rant, where he was unobserved and un known. Before 10 o'clock he was closeted with Harrison, and evening found him back in Camden as though nothing had occurred. Sewell has obtained ever thing he sought, and he has sought things that were not credited to him. For instance, the naming of William Walter Phelps as Minister to Germany was not deemed pleasing to the 'Jersey Senator, owing to the antagonism known to exist between the men.- As a matter of fact . SKWELIi SECEETLT UEQED the selection. He wanted the brilliant Congressman out of the way. He blocked his progress once in a while in controlling the politics of this State. Since William Walter went abroad the other William has had things all his own way. Probably, however, the Minister to Germany did not begrudge his rival when the result of the re cent election over here in Jersey was an nounced. Why should Harrison pick out Sewell among all the men in the nation? What is there about the Jerseyman that makes him the object of esteem from the Chief Magis trate? Both men are alike in many respects, to begin with. Each is dignified and reserved in manner. They look serious and solemn on all occasions, although in Sewel), at least, there is a good deal of latent humor. Both are fond of good living in a quiet way. While Sewell makes no pretensions, he is really aconnoisseur of merit. This accounts for the social links that bind the men to gether. When it comes to intellectual ability and political sagacity, Sewell certainly gives a great deal more than he gets. It is un questionably because the President saw how able his friend was that he con cluded to make more than a social companion of him. Ex-Senator Sewell does not impress one as a man of big brain. You are only impressed when you meet him by his dignity, and possibly a certain degree of pomposity. But when you have learned his record and watch his movements in BUSINESS AND POLITICS, you discover his cleverness and shrewd ness. He is a natural politician. As the leader of the Bepublican party in New Jersey, he has broken down all obstacles and reigns supreme. He never compromises, but always conquers. He does the best he can with a folorn hope. He might be more popular were it not for hi? railroad connections, but he conld not be more powerful. He is almost as reticent as General Grant was. He talks very little, but he listens a great deal. He is exceed ingly receptive. He hears all there is to be heard, and remembers every bit of it. He always makes bis enemies uncomfortable, and is an aggressive and persistent opponent. He stands lorever true to his friends. Bo him a good turn and he keeps you in miud to return it. There are few politicians who retain their friends as Sewell does. He believes in diplomacy in order to accom plish his purpose, bnt prefers a free field and no favors. He rarely proffers advice, but when he does tender it, you can count on its value. There are some things Benjamin Harrison has done that bear Sewell's imprint. There are other actions that the Jerseyman never advised. Sewell believes in strengthening one's position rather than his party. He be lieves in keeping THE MAIN CHANCE in view. Harrison has done this repeated ly. But Sewell never advises revolntion or the defiance of public opinion. He is ex tremely conservative so long as conversation will win. He would rather be the lever that moves tho world than be the world itself. He likes to use agents, whenever it is pos sible. But Sewell never hesitates to strike a bold and telling blow when blows become necessarv. He knows just when to step over tbe'line that divides conservatism and radicalism. This is the sort of man President Harrison seems to have adopted as a close and confi dential companion.

He is 21 years of age, and had been living with friends at Chartiers for a week. He left tbe house at which he was staying Friday morning and he has not been seen since. The family was notified last night of his disappearance and a search was immediately commenced. They fear, however, that he was among the drowned. ,- BRAZIL'S BOPLAMEB. Do. Fomeca's Similarity to the Trench Fugitive Not a Well-Educated Man or a Politician Dora Pedro's DemocrntteTendencIes. SPECIAL-TZLKJ BAM TO THZ PlSrATCH.1 New Yoeh, November 23. A. S. Belens, a native, and until within two years a resident, of Brazil, said to-day that while the news of the revolution did not surprise him, the fact that General De Fon seca had become the head of the Provisional Government was almost incredible. It seems that the General was not only un known as a politician or a diplomat, but that he was not even at tbe head of the army. His fnll name is Deodoro Da Fonseca. He is not a well-educated man, and has had no ex perience whatever in politics. During the war with Paraguay he made an excel lent record as a subordinate commander, and became popular with his brother offi cers. After tbe war, General Da Fonseca adopted mnch the same plan as did Bon langer in France. The other men are wholly unknown to Brazilians in this city. They ask each other who is this Benjamin Constant? Who are the others? The logical answer is that they are creatures of General Da Fonseca men whom he can de pend upon, but who have never attained a reputation outside their clubs. The active Bepublicans in Brazil are a small majority. Nevertheless, he believes that the Bepublie has come to stay. In the first place Dom Pedro has acquiesced, and that weakened any ef fort that may be made to reinaugurate the old regime. Second, the conservative leaders are too old to make any resistance. Third, the general population. is too illiter ate to appreciate at once the difference be tween a republic and an empire, and the army will represent to them the ruling force and its character. The fall of Dom Pedro has brought out many stories concerning him. During his long reign he has had at one time and another a good deal of property. It has all gone. A large part of it went to establish and endow institutions of a charitable character, such as orphan asylums, schools, etc At the present time he is absolutely dependent for a living upon the generosity of the Provisional Government of Brazil. He was a man easily imposed upon, and many a humbug lived well upon his "beneficence. It has been widely known that he had democratic tendencies, but just how they manifested themselves has not always been clear. For one thing, he was accustomed to give a pub lic audience once every week. The audience chamber wasalargehall,filled with chairs. If on the day of audience a tramp presented himself first, be was conducted to the front seat, and so through the list. Tbe Emperor followed rigorously tbe rule of listening first to the man who had the first seat, no matter how important might be the person age next in order. Perhaps this unique Emperor's strangest exhibition occurred in Bio de Janeiro. He attended a performance at a theater. In the course of the evening the orchestra played the "Marseillaise." The Emperor arose in his box and remained standing until the close of tbe piece a tribute to republicanism thatas suredlv would not have been given by any other Emperor in the world. JOKING WITH SEA-GULLS. How Jolly Tnru Amuse Themselves at the Expense of tbe Birds. Ocean. Sea birds are always interesting objects to voyagers. They follow a vessel sometimes all the way across, ever restless and untir ing. The gulls particularly, with their long, swift wings, realize the highest powers of endurance, and fly with ease against the severest storms. Some say that these birds never visit the earth except to deposit their eggs; otherwise they lire constantly between the sea and the sky. In fine weather they fly high in tbe air, descending with great rapidity to seize, the fishes on tbe surface of the water. The symmetry and strength of the gulls are remarkable, show ing how nature has adapted them in every particular for the purpose of long flight. Their pectoral, or breast muscles, are one solid mass of firm, hard muscle, and their bones are hollow, having no marrow in them. Sleep is not necessary to them: or, rather, they rest upon their wings and allow themselves to be cradled by the breezes, whose violence neither worries nor frightens them. On the other hand, they seem to leel a fierce delight in the fury of the storm which, convulsing tbe waves, brings up the dead fishes and mollusks. Sailors are very fond of playing off a joke upon the gulls, which are always hovering about the ships. They take three or four pieces of sail ..vine, about six feetin length; these are tied togetherin the middle, and to the end of each a small piece of blubber or fat is attached tightly and then thrown into the sea. A gnll comes along and swallows one piece; another then sees there is plenty to spare, and swal lows the next; perhaps a third bird takes possession of another; bnt as they are all attached to the sail yarns, whenever they try to fly away one or the other is compelled to disgorge bis share, and this is continued to the tantalizing suspense of the poor gulls and the great fun of the passengers and sailors.

Dentist, la Globe-l)emocrat.iJ In the past decade dentistry, along with other arts and sciences has made wonderfnl advances. Tea years ago such a thing; as extracting or filling teeth by an electrical process was unknown, but now it is quite generally used. This method is considered infinitely superior in every way to that of using anaesthetics. The latter has in many cases proved fatal to the patient, and irom that fact are not regarded in a pleasant lieht Whereas, electricity is perfectly harmless and can be used with safety even upon a child.
