NEW YORK. September 2l.-The
officers and directors Of the Central
and South American Telegraph Com
pany are elated over the successful
opening Of their line to Brazil, the

and people of Brazil through the new
channel Of direct communication be-
tween the two countries this day
opened via Galveston and Valparaiso,
and see in the multiplying links Of
intercourse assurances that the happy
relations between them will continue
and increase, to the material benefit Of
the people of both countries"
Congratulatory kilograms were also
sent by the Chamber Of Commerce Of
New York to the various commercial
associations Of Rio de JsneirO, Brazil,

the company, to Baron De Copanema,
Directar General Of the Bureau Of

pany and its tributaries comprise 56lO

ishing, and whose ranks can never be
recruited. He had been in i'll health
for year or more, but be was on the
streets yesterday afternoon and talked
cheerfully to his friends, and no one
dreamed that the end was SO near. II
scarcely requires coroner's inquest
to develop the fact that the i'm

an engagement he always sought The
thickest Of the fight and seemed to en-
joy the roar Of battle. After the war
he engaged in business, aud was very
successful for a time. About
