their part may be looked for at any moment,
which will probably result in the overthrow oil
the monarchy and the election Of the famous
statesman, Senor CASTELAR,, 10 the Presidency OF
the Republic. Meanwhile the Prime Minister,
Senor Sagasta, is straining every nerve to avert
the catastrophe and does his utmost to dlsarm
the Radicals and Republicans by the enactment
of reforms without offending the more conserVa-
tive portion of bis parliamentary majority. lrlaI

Japan will have reason TO remember the year
of 1889 as the one which gave birth 10 her
new Constitution. The latter is modelled upon
that of Prussia, and is to come into force next
October, by which time it is hoped the revision
of her treaties with foreign powers Will be com
peted. The new treaty between Japan ana ms

United States Senate. II provides for the open

BRAZIL.
A NEW REPUBLIC.

The last vestige of the former domination OF
South America by Spain and Portugal vanished
with the overthrow Of Dom Pedro in November
Like the Portuguese. the Brazilians are Of an
exceedingly democratic character and had fully
made up their minds TO institute a republican
form of government for the monarchy on the
death of Dom Pedro. In view. however, OF the
failure of his mental powers, and Of the increas-
ing assumption of the executive power by his
masterful and despotic daughter, thd Crown
Princess. the popular leaders determined TO avail
themselves of the first opportunity that occurred
TO get rid Of the imperial family. They fully
realized that if they waited until the Crown
Princes obtained entire control of the Government
she would not relinquish her power without
severe struggle, which might plunge Brazil into
the horrors of civil war Aware of the cXis-
tcnce OF this anti-dynastic feeling which was
particularly strong in the army, the Cabinet de-
termined to disperse the troops in the most out
lying portions of the Empire and then 10 rees-
tablish the National Guard, providing the latter
with officers of tried loyalty The army. by some
means other, obtained an lnkling of this plan,
and one OF the principal regiments stationed at
Rio receiving orders TO embark for Bahia. both
officers and men refused TO obey. The Ministers
thcreupon attempted strong measures. Bat not
only the populacc, but also the remainder Of the
garrison and the fleet, openly espouSed the
cause of the mutinecTs. The mutiny
Of his regiment developed into a pronuncamentO,
and within twenty-fOur hours the Republic had
been declared in lieu of the monarchy. Marshal
Fonseca, the officer who had acted as leader Of
the pronunciamentO, became President of the
Provisional Government, and Dom Pedro, with
the entire imperial family, were forced to embark
at night and under strong escort for Lisbon,
where they have since arrived.
General elections are to take place next year
for the purpose Of selecting an Assembly 10 frame
a National Constitution Much goodwill was eX-
pressed first toward the new Administration of
Brazil, in consequence of their generous and
courteous treatment of the aged eX-Emperor, who
had ruled over the country for half a century
No sooner had he landed in Lisbon, however, than
the Rio Government TepudiateG the engagements
which il had entered upon with regard to Dom
Pcdro's civil list quite ohlivious of the fact that
a newly established government which begins its
rule by rcpudiating it's own financial engage
ments can hardly hope 10 obtain the pecuniary
credit Of which il stands SO urgently in need, both
at home and abroad.
