Edmunds did not think it right to de-
clare today tLat the Congress- of the
United States recognized a republic
which was kept up at the point of the
bayonet.
Plum said he had noticed that when
the first accounts of the revolution were
received, that among the prime causes
alleged for it were that the shareholders
objected to the emancipation of the slaves
which had just been proclaimed by the
Emperor; in other words, that the re-
public was an association of persons who
objected to the freedom of those whose
bodies and labor they controlled. 1t did
not seem to him that they laid proper
foundation for republic. He hoped
that was not the reason for the sympathy
of the Senator from Alabama (Morgan).

monarchy; that they wanted a republi-
can form of government.
Teller offered an amendment to the
resolution, which he asked to have also
referred to the Committee on Foreign
Relations. It was to the effect
that when the people of Brazil shall
signify their intention to establish
q republican form of government, the
United States will furnish material aid
in, and encouragement to the people of
Brazil, in the maintenance of such form
of government, if such govern ment be
assailed by foreign governments on &C.

SECRETARY BLAINE'S PROBLEM.
Philadelphia Wants Free Raw Ma
tarials and No Subsidies.

Secretary Blaine is getting some valuable
suggestions from the leading commercial
bodies of the country in response to his cir
cular request to them to transmit sugges-
lions for the Pan-American congress. From
Philadelphia comes the following appeal for
free raw materials and against steamship
subsidies:
Resolved, that The Commercial Exchange
of Philadelphia respectfully offers the fol-
lowing suggestions: The establishment Of
direct Geographic communication with all
the export centres of South America; the
establishment of banks of commerce in all
the American countries, with the assistance
of their respective governments, that direct
means of exchange may be secured; the adj
mission into this country of all raw or I'M
manufactured materials absolutely free
of duty from said countries
no matter whether such material be intend
ed for direct consumption for food or for
use in thu arts and sciences or for subsequent
manufacture, provided reciprocal action is
taken by said gov 'rnments touching our
goods imported into their ports; the estab
llshment and maintenance in all large ports
Of free courts of admiralty, wherein the gen
eral maritime law of the world may be adj
ministered without partially; the establish
ment of uniform port charges, classification
and valuations of merchandise, and, as far
as practicable, of commercial reciproci-
ty; the universal establishment by
the South American countries of our
system of wigtts and measures, if any
change at al is made in present systematic
exchange, however, is Of the opinion that,
were trade once firmly established, inmate
rial measures ofthis kind would easily adj
Just themselves; the establishment in its en-
tirety of our system of patent law; the crea
ton Of some method of arbitratlng, without
European interference oil any difficulties or
differences that might arise, and the extra
dition of criminals for other than political
offences, are all subjects for consideration;
the completion of Nicaragua canal
and the guarantee of its control free
rom European interf renee, would lie of
invaluable benefit. We unhesiatingly con-
denim the payment of bounties or subsidies
to either steamship or sailing lines other
than the proper and generous compensation
for carrying the mail, but recommend the
relief of vessels engaged in the trade from
all charges, as far as practicable, and the
allowance of Americans to buy foreign bot
toms and sail them in foreign trade only,
under the American flag; and the establish
ment of direct rapid communication between
the several interested countries for the
conveyance of mails, passengers and goots.

A GIGANTIC SCHEME.
UtiIiza ton of the Water Power of the
KakabkiI1 Falls.

A business transaction has just been con-
summated which involves gigantic scheme
to utilize the water power of the great
Kakabkika falls situated few miles from
Port Arthur, Ont. Deeds have been recorded
~ which Thomas Marks OF Port Arthur
conveys to represent ltives of wealthy st.
Paul, Minneapolis and Philadelphia synd-
cate the property known as Kukabkika
falls, containing $50 acres, and the water
rights to the Kaministiquia river at that
point The river there is. so
feet wi c, with perpendicular
fall of 100 feet, and can be developed 10 fur
nish 20a000 horse power. The new propri
etors propose to build up at that point a
Canadian Minneapolis. A large amount of
capital is behind the scheme, and it is pro-
posed to build there Touring mills equal to
those Of Minneapolis for grinding Manitoba
wheat, pulp and paper mills for utilizing the
poplar forest adjoining, reduction works for
turning the silver ores of the neighboring
mines into bullion, blast furnaces, saw mills
and factories Of all descriptions, for which a
market can be found for their output.
Eventually it is intended to use port Oh of
. the power for generating electricity, to be
used not only for local purposes, but also to
operate the silver mines. The Port Arthur,
Duluth & Western railway is extending its
line two miles to the falls. A branch of
three miles will connect the Canadian Pacific
with the new city. Engineers are now on
the ground to make complete Topographic
cal survey in order that the plans may be
made as complete as possible.

EVERYTHING PEACEFUL.
Salisbury Says Irish Troubles VIII
Soon BE Settled

At a meeting in London Lord Salisbury
delivered an address, in which he congratu-
lated the country upon the splendid expan-
sion of its trade. The disputes between
labor and capital, he said, were regretful,
and he warned the labor agitators that they
undertook grave responsibility, He was
glad to be able to affirm that Ireland IVES
pr, crossing. Prosperity was increasing in
that country, dis rider was vanishing, aud
there was every prospect of a permanent
settlement of the burning questions between
the two countries. No members of the gov
eminent INDUCED in wild theories of home
rule, but were ready with practical pol
icy which would satisfy the country.
The difficulties in Europe he declared, APP
peared to be tending toward a peaceful solu-
ton. All the great powers are DESTROYS Of
avoiding conflict. Lord Salisbury declared
it was the widest legeni that the govern
ment had the faintest intention Ia alter the
Irish policy England was not behind other
nations in their generous rivalry to promote
the civilizations of Africa. The anti-slavery
congress at Brussels would form an epoch
marking the great progress of European
opinion on that subject. He expressed obi
cations to the Sultan of Zanzibar for the
latter's decree relating to the freedom Of his
subjects.

Mr.. Edwards, the telegraph operator at
the railroad depot at Guthrie, Ind. Ter,
heard his instrument suddenly tick the fol
lowing words: 81 am shot in the stomach

ton, which is the first station in the Chero-
kee strip, and Immediately surmising that
the operator had been attacked and shot by
robbers, Mr.. Edwards hunted up DR.. A. l..
Smith, who left on an extra train. Before
leaving, however word came that the young
operator at Wharton, whose name is Smith,
had died He was night operator at the
station and, as the place consists of
only a railroad station aud section house,
square away, he was doubtless an easy
victim to the burglars. Three men were
seen inside his office by one of the section
hands who was coming to the station from
restaurant He heard shot fired, and saw
young Smith turn around to his instrument.
Two men then ran out and disappeared in
the darkness. Smith had 500 in money
with him in the office, but the robbers did
not get it. The office was covered with
blood
