BRICE STILL IN THE LEAD.
HIS OPPONENTS CHARGING BRIBERY ALREM

| HIS OPPONENTS CHARGING BRIBERY ALREADY
IN THE OHIO sENATORsHfP CONTEST.
Columbus, Ohio, Dec. % CSpecaD.-The contest for
the United States SenatOrsh!p has narrowed to the
field against c. Brice it is probable that before
the end is reached the opposition will combine on
some of the opposing candidates. This is al
most certain to be the unless Mr. Brces strength
in the falls below the estimates Of the
Of the opposing forces. While the Brice men are
confident of success, it is generally conceded tat.
owing to the multiplicity of candidates who are TO
receive complimentary votes, there will be nomna-
ton the first ballot. Headquarters have been
opened here by both Brce and Thomas and the prin-
cipals scheduled 10 arrive Tuesday to take
personal charge Of the canvass Then the fight will
open in earnest. and it promises to be one Of the
bitteret of those bitter contests for which the Ohio
Democrats noted.
Since the leading Democrats of Columbus and Clcve-
land held meetings TO protest against Mr.. Brces
election, the same thing has been attempted in other
places In several instances these meetings have been
diverted from their original purpose and turned into
Brice booms. At one place over one hundred men
marched into the hall wearing Bricc badges, and now
the charge is openly made by prominent Democrats
that this is the result of the improper Of money.
Ever since the election a large number Of men
have been travelling over the State in the interest
Of Mr.. Brice, the country press has been subsidized
and it is charged by Democrats that he has already
put from S25 900 to $4,000 in the canvass. The
choice Of Senator is almost certain 10 be attended
with a great political scandal. rivalling that following
the election Of Mr. Payne six years ago. The air Is
already full of charges OF fraud and bribery.
Some leading Democrats. anticipating the nomina-
tiOn OF Brice are now endcavOrng 10 organize bolt,
and by several the prediction is made that five Demo
cratic members all that are required, can be found
who will vote with the Republicans 10 defeat him.

DENYING FALSE RUMORS.
IMPERIAL PROPERTY HAS NOT BEEN CON.
FISCATED. SAYS MINISTER BARBOZA.
AN EXPLANATION FROM BRAzIL-THE RIGHTS
OF FOREIGNERS IN THAT COUNTRY
ENEMIES OF THE REPUBLIC AT
IVORY

Washington, Dec. 29-The following telegram.
received this morning by Mr.. Valente the BnI
lillian Minister. from Ruy Barboza. the Brazilian,
Minister Of Finance, shows that the statements,
repeatedly made that the Provisional Govern
ment of Brazil had confscated properly belong
ing TO the Emperor untrue
Brazilian Minister, Washington We sec that .hc Eu-
ropean continues to accept false rumors as
for accusations against u.s. The property belonging to
the Imperial family has not been conlscated. the
contrary the decree has allow the Imperial
family the term OF two within which dispose
property What has been cancelled Is the allowance in
the civil list and the subsidy granted by the Provisional
Government RUY BARBOZA
Minister OF Finance.
Mr.. Valente said that the Government had
taken great precaution TO insure the safety of
everything belonging to the Imperial family. A
careful inventory had been taken of their pos
sessions, and these effects had been zealously
guarded and turned to Marquis Paranagua.
warm friend of the Emperor ConfscatiOn was
an unknown thing in Brazil, and he believed
and hoped it would never occur Both the
Minister and Captain Maurity delegate to the Mar
itime Congress, who was present when an AS
ciated Press reporter called to see the Minister
declared their belief that the Republic was as
sured beyond question. The reports of trouble
they said, were all Matched up in Lisbon by
enemies OF the Republic.
With regard TO the reports that German and
other colonists had petitioned their Governments
for protection against decree of the Provisional
Government, Mr. Valente and Captain Maturity
said this a mistaken understanding Of the
intention of the Government The decree issued
declared all foreigners resident within
the country at the time the Republic was pro-
claimed TO be citizens of Brazil, unless they
should prefer TO continue their allegiance to their
native country. There was nothing compulsory
about it. The Government supposed it was con-
ferrng a favor, and those who did not desire 10
accept it free TO follow their own inclina-
tiOns.
There seems TO be growing feeling here
among BraZians in support of the Republic and
in opposition TO the monarchy This feeling ap-
parently is due to a considerable extent 10 sup
posed attempts at interference on the part Of
European Governments with Brazils National
affairs. Even those Brazans who were formerly
devoted to Dom Pedro, and for time were
not friendly TO the Government, are now
strong adherents of the Republic.
Paris, Dec. 29.-The Brazilian Legation here
has received an official dispatch denying that the
property of the deposed Imperial family will be
confiscated.
