HONORING DOM PEDRO.
Pathetic Tributes to the Deposed Em.
peror I'm Lisbon.

LISBON, Dec. 9.-Dom Pedro spent quiet
Sunday. He only went out to attend mass. He
nearly tainted on arriving at his hotel Saturday,
being overcome by the excitement and fatigue
of the day. He soon rallied, however, and AZ
no time has he been otherwise than cheerful
and calm. He says he would return 10 Br azil
only il unmistakably recalled by the people.
He has announced that he will attend the sitting
OF the Portuguese academy 70 hear Padre
Candido deliver the eulogium upon the late
King Luis. The meeting between Dom Pedro
and the dowager queen was deeply affecting.
The dowaeer broke down and wept while talk
ing of her late husband. King Carlos presided
over cabinet meeting Friday, called 70 decide
upon the manner in which Dom Pedro should
be received. 1t was a delicate question how to
support the monarchic principle without
offending the provisional government OF
Brazil II was decided TO allow steamers and
other craft hired by Brazilian residents to
moor about the Alagoas, the government taking
no official part. The weather was fine and the
Tagus was covered with vessels.
TRIED TO KILL THE EMPERoR.
II is stated that the greater portion of the
higher officers of the Brazilian army were
monarchists and Joined the republican minority
in the recent outbreak in Brazil under the be-
lief that the demonstration was to be merely
against the ministers anc not against the enl-
pire. They only became aware of the true facts
steps. When the revolution started thousands
of students armed themselves with revolvers,
rifles and swords and threatened 10 kill the
emperor and his family. A boat manned by
students patrolled the harbor, il being their in
tention to intercept the emperor while he was
embarking and do him an injury.
HE MAY 60 BACK.
New YORK, Dec. a-James J. o'Kelly, M. p.

agerated political ambitions dominant in Bra
Zil which will surely bring misfortune the
country. Both the English and American
peoples had generations Of experience which
cannot be improvised among an imperfectly
educated nation like Brazil, whose people pos
sess more imagination than common sense in
political matters. l don't think the Brazilian
people have reached anything like the stage Of
civilization required to fit them for absolutely
free government 1t is absurd 70 draw any
analogy between them and the people Of the
United States. The present provisional gov
ernment is at best an experiment which will
probably result in disappointment"
do you propose to issue a manifesto?"
Il have been strongly urged TO do So" was
Dom Pedro's reply, but what for2" Manifes-
tos are only words, which have practically no
utility in our time"
do you mean to 60 back to Brazil2"
eyes, il the Brazilian people call me viii go
back Why noH never authorized anybody
to say would not 60 back"
