Dom Pedr0's ArriValat Cape DE
Verd Islands.

LONDON Nov. So.-Upon the
arrival of the Alagaos at st. Vim
cent, an attempt was made to in
terview Dom Pedro concerning the
events that had led to his degosi-
tion and exile, He declined, how
ever, to enter into any discussion
relative TO the revolution, but
stated he had been treated with
the utmost kindness throughout.
The Alagaos will proceed Tor
Lisbon tomorrow.
When the steamer arrived at
St. Vincent she was flying the new
flag OF the United States of Brazil.
The flag remained flying until the
Brazil consul boarded her and In
formed the captain that the
provisional government had given
Instructions that the old flag was
TO be hoisted at st. Vincent and
Lisbon. The officers Of the steam
er, not having direct orders from
Rio Janeiro, declined to make the
change. They, however, i'm
mediaiely sent o cable dispatch to
Rio Janeiro, asking for orders
relative to the flag, pending the
arrival Of Which the Alagoas flies
no flag at all
| The Alagoas vas conveyed four
and a half days from Rio Janeiro
by a Brazilian man.of-war. The
var ship was much slower than
the Alagoas and the latter's pass
age vas consequently much longer
than It wouldotherwise have been.
Fine weather was experienced all
the way from Rio Janeiro to ST.

The Situation In Montana.

In spite ofthe rather pecilli:asr!
tactics of President Harrison in
endeayoring to secure the select
ion Of Republican Senators in
Montana through interference in
the decision OF the contested elect
ion cases for members Of the
Legislature by proclaiming the
admission OF the Territory to State
| hood while the trial of the contest
was in progress before the territor-
isl tribunals, the Republicans now
stand 8 fair chance OF being
ultimately checkmated In their
bold attempt.
When the Legislature assembled
last week the Democrats Of the
lower house organized separately
from the Republicans, and in the
building designated by the Govern
or as the place of assomblage. so
that there are now practically two
Legislatures sessionin Montana.
The Senate being eyenly-diyided,
the Democrats refused to apper,
so that there was no quorum and
consequently no organization.
Thisis q peculiar situation and
hes been without parallel in the
history of the country since the
dark era of Reconstruction.
Although the position in Montana
is very similar TO the state Of
affairs in Louisiana at the time
when two separate Legislatures
were in session, there Is this differ
ence, that the Republican Presl-
dent is powerless to send Federal
eayonets to interfere IN the matter,
as there is no Republican Gov
ernor in Montana to make a de-
mand for the presence of Federal
troops, without which request the
President has no authority to
act.
Should the determined attitude
of the Democrats finally secure
the recognition Of their contested
colleagues they will elect Dsnocra.
tic senator's, but should the Re-
publlcans be seated their Austen
ton from the association with the
Republican branch of the house
will prevent quorum, without.
which it will be impossible to
transact business. AS tho term
of the Legislature is limited,
determination on the part of the
Democrats will eventually force
the legislators to adjourn without
action, and thus permit the
Governor to appoiutthe senator's.
AS the Governor is a Democrat
his appolntees will naturally be
Democrats.
Ii the result should be as in
dicated, and there appears to be
little doubt on the subject, it will
paoyesa severe defeat to the Presi.
dent, who took an open interest in
the contest, and has occasioned,
in consequence, some very severe
criticisms Of his course,-New
Orleans Picayune.

THE GREAT FIRE ATLYNN.
Compared to the one in Boston
in 1872.

LrSy, Mass, Nov. 27.-In pro-
portion to its area and popula,
tion, this city yesterday suffered
q larger loss by fire than any
other city in Massachusetts dur
ing the present century. 1t began
like the great fire in Boston in
November, 1872 in buildings that
apparently could be easily reach
ed, but as the flames spread the
heat became SO intense that for
several hours human skill to stay
them was Of no avail. 1t was q
terrible spectacle, as the FIRE pro-
gressed, and destroyed building
after building. Structures built
with al MODERN safe guards
against fire, could not resist the
tremendous volume Of flames any
more than an ordinary wooden
dwelling from which q thin line
OF smoke would be visible at one
moment, while q few minutes later
q pile of ashes marked the spot
where the building stood.
any one who watched the pro-
gress Of The great fire in Boston
in 1872, could net fail to notice
in many respects q repetition of
it here, rs the water line formed
one limit and the massing of
engines at another point, after
the condagtation had ragged near
ly six hours, marked o line where
destruction ended, and valuable
residences, which we're endanger.
cd, were saved. In extent of
territory the burnt district Of
Lynn is about tue same as that of
Boston in '72 aud the loss was
relatively about Tie same. The
principal difference in tie two
fires was The burning Of large
number of residences in Lynn,
while in Boston, the loss was al,
most entirely confined to ware
house, etc. 1t is a pitiful sight
here to witness the breaking lp
OF homes and the frantic ,eifmts
OF occupants 20 save household
treasures and other effects most
of which were doomed to dessruct-
ton because IN many instances it,
was impossible to procure teams
to remove them.
Thc city is to-day well patroll-
ed BY the militia, six companies,
250 men In all, being on duty.
The men are stationed at the en-
frances OF the ruined streets,
iharring eli approach TO the burn
ed district. Guards are stationed
at the stores that are bat partial
y cleaned out to prevent thieves
from taking what is left. No oue
is permitted to pass the guards
without a permit from the city
clerk. Through the associated
charities, many families were
tifnised lodging last night in
rooms hired at lodging and dwell
ing.houses. and rations of hot
soup, crackers and bread are be-
ing served TO all in need Of food.
as soon as some plan for assist.
6 aliceean be devised, thelswork OF
providing for destitute families
will progress rapidly.

TIE NEXT SPEA KERSHIP.

The very intelligent and complimentary
manner in which the press in different por.
tons of the State have spoken of our fellow.
countyman, the Hon. Philip d. Laird, in
connection with the Speakership of the
next House of Delegates has been extreme.
ly gratifying not only to ourself, but our
people. Aside from personal considerations,
as well AS county pride, we do not hesitate
to say that we do not believe there will be
member in the next House better qualified
to discharge the duties appertaining to the
Speakership than Mr.. Laird, or better pre-
pared by reason of experience to meet every
emergency incident to so trying position
than this gentlemen. Mr. Laird was a mem.
Der of the House in the sessions of 1886 and
1888. In 1886 he was prominent member
on the committee on the judiciary, and in
1888 member of the committee on ways
and means-two of the most important
committees in the lower Branch of the Leg.
islature. In both of these sessions Mr.
Laird was frequently called to the chair, and
his calm and dignitieI bearing as well AS
his proficiency in parliamentary tactics
commanded the most favorable criticism
The duties Of the Speaker are arduous and
notwithstanding the entire range of
legislation; Mr.. Laird's ability, his fixed
ness OF purpose, strict integrity as well as
the interest he has ever manifested in the
material progress of the State and the legit.
innate advancement of his party commend
him most strongly to the members of the
next House Of Delegates us one eminenty
qualified for the Speakership.

ANOTHER REPUBLICAN, SCHEME.

If the reports be true, the President will
endeavor in his annual message to indicate
to Congress how the triumphant march OF
the Democracy can be arrested by revising
the ratio of congressional representation &C
cording to hasty computation of the re-
turns Of the next census. We incline TO
the opinion that any legislation of that sort
would be a little too previous for the pa
tient endurance of the people. Establishing
ratio of representation in accordance with
what census not yet taken is expected to
show, would be a novelty, indeed, in the
arrangement of public affairs and popular
rights.
More than this, the coming message is
expected to forecast the reduction Of rep
resentati on in the South to balance the in
evitable Democratic gains in the North and
West. Ohio has proved an avalanche to
the Republican party, out from under which
it will long to crawl in some such way as
this. And the bold and totally unexpected
proclamation OF new departure by Iowa
proves to be an establishment that admits
of no possible recovery. Besides this, the
experiment SO wantonly tried by the Adj
ministratlon in Virginia has resulted in the
worst and most degrading fatality of all
1t is not at all to be wondered at that the
President should feel and show resent
ment for the defantly independent conduct
of its voting population, which could be
gratifed only in such a way as is outlined
in the promises of his annual address to
Congress.
OF course, the chances in the next cleo
toral college enter into the meaning of this
projected movement for a division of the
ratio of representation This is, indeed
the grand old party, if it can possess con-
troll OF the treasury, create monoples and
encourage trusts by taxation, maintain the
dangerous power of an idle surplus, and
fix the electoral college to suit itself, with
the support of census it allows no other
party to take. And if this is not altogether
the essence of tyranny in the guise Of plu-
tocracy, legislation strictly obeying the
commands of monopoly, then it would
trouble the keenest analysis of government
systems to say what it is.
But for all this, triumphant Democracy is
marching on.

ANOTHER REPUBLIC

Brazil has been foroibly changed to Il
Republic from Monarchy and the Mon.
arch driven into exile. The dissatisfaction
with the Monarch is said 81 have arisen from
the emancipation of thousands of slaves
without compensation to the master; and
another report says that the feeling for a
change has been growing slowly for a long
time, encouraged by the prosperity of sur
rounding Republics "rhe United States
of Brazil" is the name by which the success.
sors in power to Dom Pedro II have deter
mined to designate the new Republic. The
provinces of Brazil-twenty one in number
already have rudimentary legislatures for
the management of local affairs and Gov
errors appointed by the central government
1t is designed, we may infer from tie title
given to the new government, to enlarge the
functions of the several States and convert
the empire into confederacy. With the
exception of Mosquito, small Indian State
on the Mosquito Coast ruled by native
King, every independent government in the
western hemisphere is now, since the Bra.
lillian revolution, Republic. Such is the
force of the ideas and achievement of the
founder OF the United States hundred
years ago! America, with its islands, en-
braces twenty independent govern.

area. 1t remains for these to assimlate
themselves TO their neighbors, which they
will doubtless do in their own good time.

Wade Hampton's letter to the truly good
John w. Wanamaker will of course, arouse
that truthful gentleman's indignation. TIC
lie told that he had better exhibit himself to
his own Sunday School class as graphic
illustration of the biblical story of the sin
of Ananias, is as much as to say that "Our
beloved John sometimes says things that
amt So" OF course this can't be true OF a
man OF Wanamaker's piety. He may raise
big corruption funds and conspire with
Dudley for placing "blocks of i've" where
they will do the most good on election day,
but most surely he would not tell deliber-
ate lie to Wade Hampton. The Senator
form South Carolina must be mistaken.
