converge upon Rio. The railroad 10 the
imperial resort was built by the Emperor.
There Is another. called the Union and IN
dustry ROAD, which has superseded the old
time mule-WagOn service. over the heavy
mountain passes of the Sierras; but tho
wagon trains. with their swearing drivers
aud tinkling bells, are still TO Toe met with
all over the mountains. The palace ltstlI
u set in the very garden OF mountain
wilderness, where the ilOra of Brazil IS
most luxuriant, and where the tamarind,
mango, cashew, rubber-tree, Wild pine
apple, rosewood, palm, and hundred
other tropical fruit and iiower-beariug
trees and plants abound in magnificent
prOfusion. Some OF the trees are fully 5O0
feet high.
The streets of RIO present n curious
spectacle TO q foreign visitor. The forests
seem 70 press so closely upon the town that
they almost crowd 1t into the river. In
the hot season the atmosphere IS Insup-
portable Then all the population seems
10 live in the streets. The snake-merchant
the monkey yender the parrot-seller and
water-carrier are met on every corner
Ox-carts drawn by lazy, meek-lOoklnS
cattle, that seem to be- always tired,
abound. Mules are countless, seem
ingly, and half The population IS either
mounted or in wagons Pack-hOrseS, with
and driver perched on top, drag them
selves along. Since emancipation the free
negroes have become servants, porters,
and street-venders, and can be found III
almost every branch of trade of minor I'M
portancc. All the mental labor Is still
done by the negro.
The harbor Of Rio is probably the finest
in the world. Its gateway Is narrow, but
within the waters broaden and "A maEnlf-
cent stretch is presented TO the entering
vessel. Westward are themOuntalns, and TO
the east hes the city, with its great ware
houses. hotels. and churches rising out
athwart the sky. There are number OF fine
bays in the haI Dor; ferry boats. Ike those

point small S'aft he at anchor IN mid
stream by the hundreds; big steamers are
at the wharves, and an air of hustle and bu-
siness peryades the place when once the
docks are reached. Yet, for city Of fully
600 900 inhabitants. Rio is insufferably dull
and slow. Its streets are squalid, mean,
and unspeakably dirty. Its docks and piers
are of solid granite. Everybody - lazy,
and il is matter of surprise that anything
should be accomplished. The principal
streets are the old Palace Square, which
opens into the main business street, the Rue
Deretts, thoroughtare where one finds
banks, exchanges. markets. brokers ofhces,
and all the business of the city at sort OF
focus. Coffee is the staple everywhere,
and little else il talked about among the
businessmen. All nationalities are repre-
sented in the Rue Deretta and the Palace

pire bloody days may be IN store Tor the
Youngest OF the western republics.
The story of the Braganzas is one OF the
most picturesque IN history. Originally
usurper5, they have held the Portuguese
throne Tor two hundred and fifty wears.
Dom Pedro de- Alncantara. the depOsed En-
pcror of Brazil, WAS a child OF SIX when
his fnther. Dom Pedro t.. was compelled
bv the revolution of 1881 to abdlcatc.
When. in 1908, the condition of AFFAIRS
in Portugal dove tho BragauZas ont OF
that country, they fled 10 Rio. Ia Brazil
they seized the opportunity TO establish
themselves and al tho same time 10
fluid favor with the Portuguese throne,
the result being that in 1913 Brazil he-
came part OF the kingdom of Portugal.
In 1871 joao VI. returned 10 Portugal and
next year Brazil became independent. IN
that wear Dom Pedro |. was crowned and
held the reins tai unseated by the rising Of
1891. 1t was not TIL 1871, however. that
Pedro H.. then a mere lad Of sixteen, as
cended the throne. the Government mean
while being administered by a regent. Two
wears after his coronation he married
Teresa Cristina MaTia, the daughter Of
King Francis of Sicily. One daughter.
now the Countess d'Eu. was the fruit Of
the union.
Dom Pedro's reign has been marked
throughout 10y progressive measures, and
under him the country developed and pros
pered. Trade and commerce of every de-
scription increased rapidly; 1850 miles of
railroad were built: 4.500 miles of telegraph
completed 200 post-offices opened FREQ
public schools established. and other re-
forms instituted. One Of the most notable
acts was the mauumlsslon of the slaves. For
uany generations negroes have formed
n large proportion OF the population Of
Brazil. outnumbering even the CTeoles, the
Mamlucos. and the Tupi Guvanl, or abort
pinal Indian stock of cOppery- skinned ma
lives who nhabit the forests aud plains of
the interior. In 1877 the Government
passed an act declaring that all children
born 10 slaves after that date should be
free, and at the same time gave freedom to

confidential Minister that the hours OF hiS
Government were numbered. II Is less
than wear ago since the Count a In. bus
hand Of tho Crown Princess Isabella. de-
clared that as far as the EraganZas were
concerned they were willing TO torego their
claim 10 the succession TO the throne M
the event of the death Of Dom Pedro n
the people Of the country should at any
time decide by a popular election that
they preferred republic TO the reigning
monarchy. No such admission could have
been wrung from the Crown Princess her
self. Isabella Is woman of great resolu-
sion and opposed on many occasions the
reforms that were demanded by the people
and which tho Emperor himself stood
ready TO grant. II was undoubtedly large
~ owing 10 her unpopularity that the
Republicans were bold enough TO predict
confidently the ultimate abolition of mon
archy IN Brazil.
The late election brought the climax Of
the national dissatisfaction. Before the
struggle began the strength Of the Repub-
hcans was uudlsputed and the Govern
ment resOrted TO strategy 70 prevent the
return OF Republican deputies IN Il mum
Der Of districts martial law was establish
ed and the polling places were in the
hands Of the administrative party. There
were no serious protests. and. indeed. pro-
tests would have been futile, for the troops
were everywhere and were prepared for
eueh contingency. So the moment 10
strike was deferred till after the battle ut
the polls. On second ballot a few Re-
publican deputies were allowed 10 be de-
clared elected. This suppression Of the
suffra2es OF the people was the last notable
act Of the monaTchical government Of Bra
I'll.
The story Of the revolution has already
been told ia the telegraphic dispatches, al
though details which would throw light on
much that is now unexplained ere still
wanting. After the election the popular
discomfort steadily increased. Republican
leaders were waiting an opportunity, TO
strike, Some time ago, foreseeing the dan

Tho civil and military revolution IN
Brayil. which has resulted IN the Qepo-
sition of Emperor Dom Pedro H. and the
establishment OF provincial republic, IS
one of the most remarkable national tran
siiions OF tho present century. II may YET
proye bv far the most notable event that
has occurred on the western hemisphere
since the proclamation Of the American
republic and the downfall Of Maximilian
In Mexico. II has been fortunately unat-
