Tho Gathering at Montgomery, Ala, Well
Attended-Papers and Revolutions.
MONTGOMERY, Ala, Nov. 16.-The
second days session of the farmers
congress was well attended. at the
morning session Judge Lawrence, of
Ohio, president of the Wool Growers
Association, on behalf of majority
of the committee on resolutions, re-
ported resolution demanding that in
case the protective policy should be
continued, all farm products should be
as fully protected as any article of
manufacture Mr.. White, of Mis-
souri,, offered a minority report pledg-
ing the farmers of the United States to
reduction of the tariff and to change
of duties from the neceSsarieS to the
luxuries of life as far as possible. Both
reports were laid over.
Judge Lawrence offered resolutions
to the effect that the Government did
not need the revenue raised by the tax
on spirits and that the question should
be relegated to the States; also favor
ing the repeal of the tax on tobacco.
Both resolutions were reported adj
versely by the committee.
Hon. L. S. Coffin delivered an address
on railroads and their relations to the
farmer. The speaker was sharply
criticised by number of delegates as
being too much in sympathy with rail-
roads and corporations.
Judge Lawrence read a paper on
wool growing and mutton producing,
pointing out the great benefit which
would arise to the people from in
creased sheep raising and urging pro-
lection for this interest. His address
was followed by some adverse discus
sion. One delegate cited an instance
of an investment of ST, JOY in sheep
which paid profit of over 40 per cent.
in one year, which he said set this in
1ustry beyond the need of a protecting
tariff.
Many speeches were made by dele
gates from the North and West, all
advocating wool protection.
| The farmers congress, after heated
debate last evening, adopted the fol.
lowing resolution, introduced by John
Kelly, of Kansas: Resolved, BY the
| farmers congress now in session, that
the action of the Chicago combine in
refusing to testify before the Senate
committee was an insult to the honest
people of the United States and should
meet with prompt and united condem
nation
At the evening session the majority
resolutions of the committee on resOlu
tons before referred to were adopted
by a vote of III to JOG. The affirmative
vote was: Iowa. Is; Kentucky, Z; Kan

REVOLUTION IN BRAZIL.

RevOlutfOnists Reported to Have Over
thrown Dom Pedro. Who Has Success
fully Reign ed For Nearly Half . Century
Effect on the Coffee Trade.
New YORK, Nov. 16.-Messrs.
Charles r. Flint & Co. received the fol-
loving cablegram late yesterday, dated
Rio de Janeiro: Revolution has broken
out here. The Brazilian army is in con-
troll. Ministry has resigned. The
revolution is for the purpose of form
ing republic"
Similar dispatches were received by
Arbuckle Bros. and Joseph J. O'Dono-
hue s. Sons.
These dispatches were received about
four o'clock, just after the Coffee Ex-
change had closed for the day.
The reports came like a clap of thun-
der to coffee dealers throughout the
city, who were made acquainted with
them, and are likely to cause serious
trouble on the exchange if confirmed.
While the dealers generally spoke in a
hopeful strain, they exhibited signs of
uneaSineSS.
The Coffee Exchange closed yester-
day afternoon with coffee 1916 bid only
a few minutes before the dispatches
were received. The new coffee crop in
Brazil is almost ready to be harvested,
and the supply on the market here is
consequently limited.
If a revolution has broken out and
the ports of Santos and Rio de Janeiro
are blockaded, rs per cent. of the coffee
supply of this country will be cut off.
This will be productive of very serious
consequences throughout the country.
When confirmation of the report is
received at the exchange to-day from
London there is likely to be an unheard
of scene on the floor.
The blockading of Brazilian ports at
would result in the cutting off more
than three-fourths of the entire India
rubber supply of this country and
compel the shutting down of nearly all
the immense rubber goods manufact.
| uring concerns in the United States
as the supply on hand at present is not
sufficient to last two weeks.
THE NEW GOVERNMENT.
LONDON. Nov. 17.-Later dispatches
from Rio de Janeiro fully confirm the
previous reports. The revolution aims
at the Overthrowl of the Government
| and the proclamation of republic
The army supports the movement. A
provisional government has been es
tablished, including Seniors Da FOnsca
and Benjamin Constant. Among the
dispatches received, but not yet off
cial1y confirmed, is one stating that
Baron LadariO, the Minister of Marine
has been killed.

Satisfied that he had at last recovered
the doctors clothing, Superintendent
Hubbard ordered that the dirty mass be
removed to the East Chicago station and
scrubbed, preparatory to delivering it to
the States attorney. But Judge Longe-
necker and his associates decided that
it were better to present the stuff
before the jury in the condition
in which it was found. The
clothing and instruments were
therefore carted to the States
attorneys Office and spread out for in
spectiOn. Mrs. Conklin, who saw the
doctor disappear with one of the assas-
sins, identified each article as it was
placed before her as having been car
ried by the murdered man when he set
out for the O'Sullivan ice-house. All
the clothing showed that it had been cut
from the body after death. The light
spring overcoat was slashed from the
collar to hem and the sleeves were torn
from the waist to the shoulders. The
cutaway coat Of diagonal cloth was cut
into pieces. The vest was cut in twain
as were also the drawers, undershirt and
collar. A keen-edged knife had done the
work.

KANSAS CRY No., Nov. 15.-Bishop
Warren presided at the M. E. confer
ence yesterday forenoon. On the stage
besides the chairman were Rev. DIR.
Mendenhall, editor of the New York
Methodist Review; Rev. Mr.. Young,
pastor of the Grand avenue church;
Corresponding Secretaries Leonard,
McCabe and Peck, and the recording
secretary, Rev. S. L. Baldwin.
Rev. E. r. Smith, editor of Gospel
In All Lands, sat at the table with
Treasurer Hunt taking down the
speeches and proceedings in very neat
shorthand for his journal
The regular business began with the
discussion of propositions relative to
the total appropriations for missionary
purposes. The original motion was to
appropriate $4,000. This was
amended to 81 ,126, 900, and this in
turn was amended to 81, 5000. The
legacies for the last ten years have ave-
ragged over 100000 year. Within the
last twenty years S26O,0OO have been
paid out in interest, (which" said
Bishop Foss, sis because we are chron-
ically in debt. We have now borrowed
from three banks all they will lend us.
The treasurer said that in August he
was paying interest on 1886, 900. 1t has
been said there is no debt. If that is
SO why are we paying interest?''
At the conclusion of the speech he
moved that the appropriation be ST.
$4,000.
Mr.. McLain, of New York, said he
did not pay his debts by giving his
notes. THAT is not cash by a jugful''
said he. The theological gentlemen
laughed.
The motion made by Bishop Foss,
that 81, 1851 900 be appropriated in total
for foreign and domestic missions, was
adopted. For contingent purposes
$25, 900 was appropriated.

hauled out of the filth. Although great
1y befouled the box showed evidences of
having been vanished and polished,
and a brass handle in its center showed
that it had been carried like a sachel.
Gilbert and Mcmillan opened the box.
One glance at the contents convinced
the men that they had at last found the
clothing and instruments which DR..
Cronin had carried with him to his
death. There was an assortment of ex-
tension splints with which DIR. Cronin
had provided himself in anticipation of
having to set fractured leg when he
reached O'Sullivan's ice-house. Then
came a sachel and bundle of clothing.

CATARRH.


Catarrhal DeafnessNHay Fever-A New
Home Treatment.
Sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases are contagious, or that they
are due to the presence of living parasites
in the lining membrane Of the nose and
eustachian tubes. Microscopic research,
however, has proved this to be fact, and
the result of this discovery is that q simple
remedy has been formulated whereby
Catarrh, Hay Fever and Catarrhal Deafness
are permanently cured in from one to three
simple applications made at home by the
patient once in two weeks.
n. B.!This treatment is not a snuf or an
ointment; both have been discarded by
reputable physicians as injurious. A pamph.
let explaining this new treatment is sent on
