The attention Of the whole Brazilian people is now
so atentively fixed the results Of the primary cleo
uons that all other matters, however important, pale
into nothipgncss The statements OF results SO
imperfect. and garbed according to their origin
that h is as yet impossible form any estimate
OF them, but II probable that tho liberals will
II the secondary voting be concentrated the party
tickets, succeed in elccting twenty twenty-five Dep
usies-say one-dth OF tho whole House This would
be an increase OF sixteen over what they had the
preceding Legislature, and proves that tho law,
with all It's detects is not only great advance the
old onc but that the government has At least TO
extent fulfilled its promise to allow irce election.
CHARGES FRAUD
Tho opposition of course assert the contrary with
great bitterness but TO outsiders u seems that tho
government Is really entitled TO commentator at
least its desire TO fair field for adversaries
and certainly no previous election during the last
twenty years was OF genuine character and liz
tie OF an official nature peculiarity OF this election
~ sbe incomplete vote by which the ballots for
only two out Of every three Deputies to whom the
province is entitled, and thus by concentrating its
votes minority OF nc-thrd may elect ne-third OF

ties very undiscipned, ana both sides many OF
the candidates who did tho party tickets are
canvassing their account, and may thus bring
disasters on their respective parties.

which dolngs have excited bitter dis.rbes from the
Mnsons and the opponents OF Rome.
PRINCESS REGENT
II Is TO be carcd indeed that the Princess Regent,
who Is strongly mbued with the uncalculaing deyout
common in the feminine half oi mankind is
acting somewhat indscrecy tho favors ana atlen-
tons she Is bestowing agents OF Rome at a time
when grave issues have been raised between tho c,vil

ST. Vincent dc Paul Society at Paris has also Just
reached here In which the Princess Regent is spoken
OF as 'our princess" and is stated to have encour-
aged the society with promises TO the development of
its utramontane aims In Brazil Doubtless these
are mere feminine expansions OF young and
