The Republicans in the French Chamber
OF Deputies Desire the Prompt Recogni-
ton of the New Republic of Brazil i'm
Order to Head Off Possible Monarchical
Reaction and Intrigue-Spanish Repub-
Hcans Also Anxious.
LONDON, Nov. 25.-Deputy Hubbard,
OF the French Chamber of Deputies, has
announced his intention of questioning
the government, on Monday, whether
the French Republic proposes to recog-
nize the Republic of Brazil. The gen.
eral impression is that the reply will be
to the effect that precedent forbids rec
ognition Of the provisional government,
but that as soon as the constitutional
assembly which is to be called by the
provisional government has announced
definite form of government on the
authority of the people of the country,
France will hasten to recognize the sis
ter republic. 1t is likely that this atti-
tude will fail to satisfy the more rad
ical members of the Chamber, and that
they will insist upon some immediate
action being taken to show that France
prefers the republican to any other
form of government in Brazil.
There is general feeling mani
Tested among Republicans and Rad
icals throughout Europe that danger ex-
lists of a reaction toward monarchism in
Brazil, and that such of the governments
as are of the popular type should give
countenance as far as possible to the
revolutionists at Rio. This is consid-
cred appropriate also as a legitimate off
set to the secret but nevertheless un-
doubted efforts of the monarchists
throughout Europe to create sentiment
and if possible effect tangible aid for
their representative who has been dis
missed from service in South America.
1t is openly asserted in Paris that the
Pope is also intriguing in favor of this
movement to bring about the restoration
of the Bourbon dynasty to Brazil. 1t is
not considered possible or advisable to
seek the replacement of Dom Pedro him
self, but it is hoped that circumstances
will arise which will make it possible to
secure the throne for his grandson, who
has some popular qualities and would
probably receive the warm allegiance
of many Brazilians who would prefer
the empire to the republic, provided the
former were administered in little
more progressive fashion than was pos
sible in the latter years of Dom Pedros
reign, hampered as itwas by the bigotry
and ultra-conservatism of the Princess
Isabel and her adherents. The French
and Spanish Republicans are anxious to
prevent any step being taken to further
this scheme, and they are endeavoring
to secure action by their governments
similar to that taken by the little Swiss
confederation, which has not hesitated
to recognize the provisional government
as the legitimate successor of the en-

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.
Several Firemen Injured During Destruct-
i've Fire in Philadelphia.


i've Fire in Philadelphia.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 25.-The large
store of the wholesale grocery firm of
Janney & Andrew at Nos. 121 and 1913
Market street, was destroyed by fire
about daylight yesterday morning, and
the contents of several adjoining build
ings were badly damaged by water,
causing total loss of about $3.50, 000.
The fire is supposed to have been caused
by spontaneous combustion and was
first discovered among quantity of pep
per on the third floor. The burning
pepper and mustard sent up fumes which
greatly interfered with the work of the
firemen, and five of them are in the
hospital under treatment for partial
blindness.
At about five o'clock the east wall OF
the burning building fell in, and eight
firemen, who were on the roof of lower
building in the rear, were caught by the
debris. James McCuen, foreman of No.
4 company, suffered fracture of the
skull and died while being carried
away. One of the other men had an
arm broken while the other six sue
ceeded in getting away with slight in
iuries.

estimated at $1,000 000-

UCCESSFULLY LAUNCHED,

The Launch of the New York g. Cuba Mail
Steamship Lines Steamer Orisabo at
Chester, Pa, Witnessed by the Delegates
to the Pan-American Congress and a
Vast Concourse of Spectators.
CHESTER, Pa, Nov. 24.-The Pan
American Congress visited Roach's Ship
yard yesterday to witness the launching
of the steamship Orisabo for the New
York & Cuba Mail Steamship line, and
the event was one of the most auspi-
cious that has occurred here for long
time. The visitors arrived from Wash
ington on a special train about noon,
and were welcomed at the ship-yard by
John B. Roach, president of the Della
ware Iron Ship-building and Engineer
Works, and salute was fired by de-
tail of cadets from the Pennsylvania
Military Academy.
Thousands of people visited the ship
yard and witnessed the launch, which
occurred at 1854 p. m.
Miss Eleanor R. Foster daughter of
Hon. John w. Foster, ex-Minister to
Spain, christened the vessel as her PROV
touched the water, and as the vessel
glided gracefully into her natural ele-
ment, cheer after cheer rent the air,
and among the most enthusiastic were
those representing the foreign delega-
ton.
A banquet followed the launch in the
mold loft, which was appropriately dec
grated and festooned. John B. Roach
presided, and the address of welcome
was made by Senator-elect John B.
Robinson, of Delaware County.
Hon. William Ward also spoke, and
presented Mr.. Roach letter from
Secretary of State Blaine, who, after
expressing his regret at his inability to
be present, said:
1t is ten years since visited Chester on the
invitation of your father to witness the
launching of the first ship for the same COM
mercial field. Despite the malignity-as
causelesso as it was cruel-which saddened

best efforts to restore prestige to the Ameri-
can flag in all the channels of commerce.
Ex-Mayor Forwood, of Chester, and
William t. Hughes, superintendent OF
the Ward Steamship line, also made ap-
propriate speeches. Cheers were given
for John B. Roach, and soon after the
Washington visitors, numbering about a
hundred and fifty, left on the four o'clock
train for the capital

Of starving citizens of Illinois into a

of the people usually are, by enemies

my DEAR Mr.. DEPEw: don't often ask for
favors in the way of passes, but if l could get
an annual pass good until January l. over the
New York Central railroad-and it would suit
me better if could get it from New York to
Erie-in favor of Harry Butterfield, 1t would be
a great advantage to me in my fight here in this
district.

The stay-at-home Republican is little
better than the doubtful voter, because
the same effort must be made to bring
him out that is made to win over the
doubtful voter. This ought not to be
the case, and hereafter must not be the
case if Iowa is to remain Republican.
Our present embarrassment may be our

spur US up to renewed zeal in future
contests. Kansas went Democratic and
rallied to be a stronger Republican
State than before its defeat. So of Ohio.
Iowa is Republican. The people are too
intelligent to be any thing else, but
with all their intelligence they are con-
servative, and of late years have grown
in Indifference much as their brethren

hope is that the emergency Of the pres

HOODWINKED ALL AROUND.
The Inside History of Republican Defeat
in Iowa.


The Iowa Democrats developed splen-
did generalship in their canvass this
year. First they nominated a railroad
attorney for Governor and secured the
powerful alliance of the great railway
corporations and their 10000 employees
in the State; then next they threw
dust in the eyes of the people and
made many farmers and business men be-
lieve that the Republican ticket was in
the railroad interest! The Republicans
were thus between two fires. The
Democrats made gains at both ends.
The railroads sat down on the ticket
because they held the Republican party
responsible for the hostile legislation
Of Republican General Assembly, and
the bitter hostility of a Republican
Governor. Some Republican farmers
and merchants, forgetting this aspect of
the question, were induced to believe
that representative Republicans like
Senator Hutchison, Senator Woolson
and other leading candidates of tho
party were in the railway interest, and
SO farmers and merchants unconsciously
Joined hands with the railroads to de-
feat the Republican ticket. Now that
the contest is over it is amazing as
well as amusing to see how these people
have been duped by adroit political
wire workers. Interests widely diverse.
and antagonistic have thus. joined
hands to boost some railway attorneys
into political power in Iowa, and if sue
cessful it has all been accomplished un-
der the pretentious flag of ''anti-
monopoly" and opposition to railroads.

on the part of the rebels against Emin's
government. He says: Ear away, our
own people, tempted by extreme wretch
edness, sold our rifles and ammunition
to our natural enemies, the slave-trad-
ers." Stanley graphically relates the
details of the trip from the wilds of the
interior to the verge of civilization. He
tells of his own sickness and of the en-
feeblement and death of many of his
force. Several fights with the famous
dwarfs and other hostile natives are re-
counted. The dangers traversed were
many and varied.

good specimens of plants which he has
collected on his travels. He asks to be
remembered to DIR. Junker and other
friends, and in conclusion says he will
try to write again, but that his eyes

AFFAIRS IN MONTANA.

Political Affairs in Montana Getting Into
Deeper Complication Every Day-Sepa-
rate Organizations by the Republicans and
Democrats-How VIII the Dispute Be
Settled?
HELENA, Mont, Nov. 24.-The Lower
House Of the Legislature organized yes
terday afternoon in two branches, the
Republicans meeting in hall on Main
street and the Democrats in the court
house. The Republicans had thirty
members, two more than quorum. The
body was called to order by Justice
Kenny. The organization was per-
fected by the election of A. c. Witter,
of Beaverhead County, Speaker, and
Benjamin Webster, of Lewis and Clarke
County, chief clerk. A full list Of SUBJ
ordinate officers was also elected, and a
recess was taken until three o'clock.
The Democrats organized with Mr..
Blakely, of Gallatin County, as Speaker.
The members were sworn in bya notary
public. The doors were closely guarded.
No one was admitted except those hold
ing certificates of election from county
clerks. This branch also took recess.
The Senate met at the courthouse,
but the Democratic members absented
themselves, and there was no quorum.
Lieutenant-Governor Richards called
the Senate to order. On the roll-call
eight Republicans were present, and
were sworn in by Judge Hunt, after
which they adjourned till Monday
morning.
The Republicans realize that they
can not coerce Governor Toole, as he
proved conclusively by the issue of his
proclamation Friday that he was Gov
ernor Of Montana.
Action of the Republicans Justified in
Caucus.
HELENA, Mont, Nov. pa Repub-
lican caucus was held last night at
which the organization of the House
separately from the Democrats was just
flied under the clause of the new con-
stitution which it was stated provides
that returns for all State officers, in
Guiding Legislators, shall be canvassed
by the same board created by the Ena-
bling Act to canvass returns of the vote
on the Constitution. 1t was also agreed
that the settlement of the dispute rests
wholly with the members of the con-
ficting branches-that the Governor
can not determine the rights Of mem
bers.
1t was stated that though the Gov
ernor had the right to designate the
place of meeting, he had no right to
personally control the place designated,
keeping it locked and guarded against
some, while others were admitted.
This action justified the Republicans in
meeting elsewhere.
AS the Senate contains an equal num-
Der of Democrats and Republicans, and
the right of the Lieutenant-Governor to
preside could not be questioned, the
Democrats could prevent organization
only by absenting themselves.
