DOM PEDRO.

The Serious Illness of tho Brazilian Mon
arch--A Practical and Progressive Ruler.
Special to the indianapolis JournAA
LONDON, May 9-The serious and possibly
fatal illness of Dom Pedro II. Emperor of

compassion among the crowned heads of
Europe with many OF whom the venerable and
elninently practical monarch is allied BY ties of
consequently or the bonds Of matrimony. Al
though lying desperately i'll many hundreds
Of miles from his immediate family and throne,
he is not among strangers. In having married the
daughter of King Francis ], the last monarch Of
the two Sicilies. his connection with the Or
leans Bourbon family of France, already con-
siderable, was renewed; In the marriage Of his
daughter with the Comte D'Eu, it became still
closer and in addition to this alliance he il in
blood relationship with the royal and imperial
houses Of Portugal and Austria, and the ducal
house Of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. Although
the reports of tho condition of the Brazilian
sovereign are not such a. to excite general
alarm. it is known that his physi-
clans have communicated to Lisbon.
London and Rio dc Janeiro information denoting
little confidence in their ability to give assur-
ance that the imperial patient will ever return
to his throne, and to those in possession of these
advices the intelligence imparts feelings Of pro-
found sorrow. Dom Pedro has never earned
the reputation OF greatness. bat he has tor
many years been known as . wise. just, eener-
ous and conservative monarch, and az such
rulers remarkably scarce and their pros
pective successors infinitely less numerous. the
death of the South American Emperor would Do
