\ Handsome Teacher Long Missing.

BROOKLYN, N. Y, Sept. H.-Miss
Virginia Wagner, aged "a, a school
teacher, has been missing since July
2, when she left her boarding house
and was supposed by her aequaint-
ances to have gone to Patterson, n. j.,
TO spend the school vacation. This
supposition caused delay in making her
disappearance known, and her parents
later made inquiries privately and re-
Trained from notifying the pelice on
account of desire to avoid publicity.
Detectives are now, however, at work
on the case. Miss Wagner was tall
and handsome and fine musician.
Her father is agent of the United
States express company at Paterson.
She was devoted to study and had few
male acquaintance and there is no
clue to the reason for her disappear
ance.

There was a spirited debate in the Senate

acted upon when something is heard from
the people of Brazil themselves ON the sub

Mr.. Edmunds said he had 10 knowledge
that there was republic in Brazil. He
hoped that the outcome might be good but
he did not think it right to declare to-day
that Congress recommended republic
which was kept up at the point of the
bayonet.
The question was taken up on a motion to
refer the resolution to the committee on
foreign relations, All the republicans voted
n yea and the democrats except Mr. Call
voted, no. There was no quorum voting
