required IN the progress of the construction. The
same company Is also in treaty for similar arrange
ment in regard to the Rio Grande do Sui and Baza
Railroad. which passes the great coal beds Of
Southern Rio Grande.
The frosts attending the pampero Of the Sh to 10th

plantations OF Minas Geraes and st. ptulo and il is
said that half or even more of the growing crop has
been destroyed grave disease in the sugar is re-

The senate Of the United States, fer

in Washington on the 18th instant, will
be democratic by majority OF eight,

The republicans will be q minority In
