was brought home to the country in an un-
pleasant manner in 1849 by the appearance
Of yellow fever on slave ships, the first that
was known of it in the country. Pablic
opinion was aroused and declared against
the traffic, and stringent laws were adopted,
and thus began movement which has never
ceased looking to the final abolition of
slavery in the land. Public works of vast
magnitude were started, and public educa-
ton was given a boom. Always liberal
spender he was not long i'll getting the
country into debt, and he has faithfully
kept it so ever since, but he Las given it a
quid pro quo that was well worth the money.
Wars with Paraguay and other countries
helped to swell the Indebtedness. That
with Paraguay was specially heavy drain
upon the resources of Brazil both in life
and treasure.
In the year of the settlement of peace
with Paraguay, Dom Pedro had the salts
faction of seeing a great social reform eff
fected. A law was passed decreeing that
every child born of slave parents should be
free. He also proclaimed the freedom of
all slaves belonging to the state or the inn
perial household, and provided an emanci-
patton fund to be annually applied to the
ransom of slaves owned by private individ-
uals. Ever since the emanciI alton of slaves
has gone on rapidly, the slave owners them
selves i'll many instances helping it on. 1t
was thought once that an abolition of slave
labor would ruin the plantations. but the
emancipated negroes turned to and worked
with a will, thus encouraging the good
work begun in their behalf.
The emperor married sister of the king
of Naples, virtuous and good tempered
woman, with whom he lived most happily.
Both were beloved by their subjects, not
only for their moral and intellectual
strength, but because of their affectionate
regard for the welfare of all under them.
The Princess Isabelle was born them in 1916,
and her son in 1875. They have no other
surviving offspring.
TREATED CoURTEOUsLY.
LONDON, Special-The duke of Lemours,
father of Count D'Eu, son-in-law of Dom
Pedro, the exiled emperor of Brazil has
telegraphed to the queen at Balmoral that
the emperor and his family embarked at
Rio Janeiro without being subjected to any
disagreeable experiences. Dispatches re-
ceived here this afternoon from Rio
Janeiro reiterate the statement pre-
yiously telegraphed that the formation of
the republic met with no opposition. The
latest intelligence received at Rio JaBeiro
indicated that Bahia and Pernambuco were
in state of tranquility. People everywhere
are so much absorbed in ihe new order of
things politically that bus.Tess is at a COM
plete standstll CommO c1al dispatches
are forwarded from Blazil to foreign
countries without scrutiny or de-
lay. All dispatches, however, re-
lating to the political situation or
giving any information in regard to the new
government have to be submitted to the
censor. The result of this is that the only
intelligence about the revolution which has
reached the outside world, except the very
meager facts that have got through in the
commercial kilograms in cipher, is that
which has met the approval of the govern
ment censorship. A dispatch has been re-
ceived at the Brazilian legation here in
London from DIR. Barboza, the mi nj ster 0
finance of the new government, directing
the Brazilian minister to notify the London
stock exchange that all financial engage
ments entered into by the imperial govern.
ment will be faithfully observed by the
republic. This dispatch, it is thought, will
have reassuring effect in commercial and
! financial circles. Banks and private finan-
ciers holding Brazilian bonds have largely
refused to sell. This action has prevented .
panic.
REPORTS CONFIRMED.
WASHINGTON, Special.-Senor Valent, the
Brazilian minister, this evening received
two dispatches from Rio de Janeiro fully
confirming and oorroborating the news OF
| the overthrow of Dom Pedro II. One of
the dispatches came from Bocayura, the
new minister of foreign affairs, and merely
announced the success of the revolution and
organization of the provisional republican
government. The other, from Minister OF
War Constant, announced the establishment
of the republican government, the forma-
| ton of the new cabinet, and also that the
dethrOned emperor has been directed to
leave the country. Everything in Rio, the
| dispatches stated, was quiet and tranquil.
Senior Valento declined to state whether he
had been requested to resign or whether he
| intended to resign, merely stating
that his resignation was matter
! for future consideration. Among navy
officers no surprise was. expressed at the
| news of the revolution. Commodore
Ramsay, chief of the bureau of navigation,
said that twenty years ago, when he was in
| Brazil there was a general feeling that
when Dom Pedros reign ended repub-
lican form of government would be in
stituted. Lieut.. Barry who only recently
returned from Brazil, says that the change
which has come to pass was openly talked
among BraZilians as probable to occur, and
they expected it any time. Ts the people
of Brazil he said it could not appear to have
| been sudden.
| NEWS AND COMMENTS.
COLOGNE, Special,-The Cologne Gazette,
alluding to the German interests in Brazil,
says:
A great part of the population of South.
ern Brazil is faithfully attached to the faith
erland and cherishes German traditions. 1t
is hardly likely that the republic will sue
ceed in saving this enormous state from
chaos. The political destiny of Southern
Brazil has special claims upon German
interests and sympathies, 1t may, there
fore, seriously affect German relations with
| Brazil.
SYMPATHETIC DEMONSTRATION,
LISBON, Special.-A number of private
kilograms, received to-day from Rio Janeiro
state that the emperor was the object OF
sympathetic demonstrations, both on the
part of the people and the provisional gov
| ernment.
