WASHINGTON, December 25th.-The Bu-
reau of American Republic has received
information of the organization of cor
poration in Brazil under the name of the
"Companhia nova era Rural do Brazil"
with capital of 25,0000 900, large part of
which has been furnished by bankers and
merchants of Europe. The object is to es-
tablish twenty agricultural settlements
upon public lands in Brazil, which are
given free of cost by the Government to aid
the enterprise; to construct lines of railway
for placing these settlements in communi-
cation with each other and their markets;
to carry out engineering works, mining op.
erations and the manufacture of sugar,
bricks, tiles, lime and other articles for ex-
port, ss we'll as for local consumption.
The company proposes to select thou
sands of families in Europe, consisting of
skilled agriculturists and mechanics, and
to transport them TO Brazil, where houses
will be prepared for their occupancy and
tools and implements furnished for their
use. These colonists will be divided into
villages and scattered over the estate as
nucleus for immigrants to be brought there
later.
HThe Federal and several State Govern
ments of Brazil have offered guaranty of
per cent. interest on one-third of the
capital invested in the enterprise.
An expedition was some time ago sent
by an agent of the Government up the
Parana river to explore what is known
as the Gran Chace," a tract of country
in the northern part of the Argentine Re-
public, as unknown as the interior of
Africa. The expedition has returned, hav-
ing travelled some 1000 miles, and reports
that the "Gran Chace," which was sup.
posed to be sort of swamp, is, on the
contrary, land of much promise. the eli
mate being mild and healthy, and the soil
rich and dry. Maize, corn and sugar-cane
there attain enormous size, and there is
much valuable timber.

warned the Senate few days ago that be
would move to lay aside the elections bill,
and take up the pure food bill, and he will
before long again take occasion to renew
the warning. He-will first give his party,
however, ample opportunity to either pass
the elections bill or conclude to lay it aside.
In this connection it may be interesting
to state that Paddock has been misouoted
from the beginning in regard to his posi-
ton on this bill. A dispatch originally
sent from here, describes an interview al
legged to have taken place between the Pre-
sident and the Senator. in which the for
mer is said to have upraide1 the latter for
not supporting the bill:
The interview thus picturesquely re-
lated not only never occurred" said Pad
dock, "but the President never mentioned
either the elections bill nor tariff bill to
me. l have never said l would not vote
for the elections BILL" continued the Sem
ator, although have been quoted as
saying 80. The truth is that there is
nothing in the provisions of the bill OBJ
jectionable to me. My position is in re-
gard to the consideration of the bill at
this time as unwise. l think it would be
better to discuss and pass the financial
measure. The elections bill is a purely
political matter, in which only the
straight-out Republicans in the country
are interested, while financial legislation
vitality concerns all business men, and is
sadly needed. Certainly this is the situa.
ton in Nebraska / have not vet re.
ceived single letter from my State, either
for or against the elections bill. which is
sure indication of lack of interest

WASHINGTON, December 25th.-A special
bulletin issued by the Signal Office during
the present storm, which extends from In

amount OF snow in any single storm in

England on Friday. From three to seven
inches Of snow fell to-day in the Ohio

THE PACIFIC MAIL COMPANY.
Houston Comments on
Peru's Letter.

Vice-President Houston Comments on
Peru's Letter.
New YORK, December 25.h.-Concerning
the letter of the Chamber of Commerce Of
Lima Congress to the Peruvian Ministry,
urging an extension of the facilities of the
Pacific Mail Company, James B. Houston,
Vice President and General Manager of
the company says: There is some mis-
apprehension on the score of time required
for our voyages from New York to Colon.
The Lima merchants ask that the time be
shortened to eight days. As matter of
fact, our steamers never make run in
more than seven days and half while in
the last three months some voyages have
been made in six days. On this point,
therefore, we are asked to make the voyage
really longer than the present schedules,
and / fancy there is mistake somewhere.
If we make the number of voyages four
each month from New York, we would
have to have a complimentary service on
the Pacific side between San Francisco and
Panama. To do this would require the
adding of two more steamers to the Pacific
route. We would be glad to increase the
number of voyages if the business were
profitable, or if we could see that it was
capable of development. The subject will
be thoroughly examined. There is great
hope from the steamship business in the
idea of reciprocity with South America.
If carried out it promises large develop
ment to the industry and leads me to take
a cheerful view of the future. l have
found in the last year that the proposition
has grown in favor with the northwestern
members of Congress, and the outlook is
for action in that direction, / believe

Juvenile Victims of Fashion.

Why will not fashion let the children
alone? If ladies will insist on promenading
the streets in costumes which astonish the
giddy multitude and in some cases augment
its giddiness, they might at least concede
something to taste and fitness in the parb
Of the girls and boys. A fashionably dressed
child out for an airing in Fifth avenue or
in one of the uptown parks differs but little
in outward appearances from an infant
prodigy" at the circus. The tinsel and
feathers of the saw-dust ring have been
transferred to the sidewalk, and the little
misses and masters of the gay world'
whom one meets in the grand promenades
on fine day are got up faithfully after the
precocious tight-rope and slack-wire
dancers and the ten-year-old gymnssts at

observer the youngsters of the canvas tent
and of the brown-stone mansion seem to

mammas do not know, we can tell them.
The girls will be coquettes, the bows snobs.
They are so already, in their small way.
The present generation of modish Ameri.

eyes OF their national countrymen and
countrywomen; what the next will be
heaven only knows. Judging from what
we see OF the micfocosm. we fear that the

BosToN, December 25th.-The ship-build-
ing business of Massachusetts and Maine
during 1890 seems to confirm the state
ment made year ago that the three and
four-masted schooners had come to stay.
Maine has launched since January LIST
about 112 vessels of all descriptions. Bath
contributed forty. four. The beautiful
Shenandoah, of 3,04s gross tonnage, spread
ing II 600 yards of canvas, takes the lead
as full-rigged ship, the largest wooden
ship that floats under the American flag,
and the Partha is not far behind with
her 5000 yards of canvas, together with
the RapPahannock and st. Mary. both
first-class ships, all of Bath, and also
one bark and seven barkentines, including
four-master, the Steadfast of Belfast, all
vessels to be proud of. Yet about so per
cent. of the merchant feet built in New
England this year has been made up of
fore-and-afters, many of them handsome
swift and large carriers which can be run
at comparatively moderate expense, such
as the Glenwood, 1869 tons; Charles A.
Campbell, 1854 tons; George S. Walcott,
1,476 tons, and Marjorie. 1887 tons.
Massachusetts furnishes fair record for
new tonnage this year.

THE sALvAr1oN ARMY.
Commander Smiths Resignation Al
nounced by the Press


LONDON, December 25ih.-The Times an
nounces that Commissioner Smith, of the
Salvation Army, has resigned. The resigna-
ton, the Times says, is most important, be-
cause he formed substantial guarantee
that an earnest, business-like effort would
be made TO execute the practicable part of
General Booths scheme of social reform.
The authorship of "In Darkest England"
is now common knowledge, but charita-
BILE hypothesis assigns General Booth the
credit for having written ct least two chap
ters of that book. Booths explanation is
that he supplied professional writer with
materials for the work.
The Times believes that when the whole
story is revealed it will be found that sub
stantial parts of the scheme of city and
farm colonies originated with Commits
sioner Smith. Nothing but a sense of
duty, the Times adds, could have induced
Commissioner Smith to resign at SO i'm
Portant an adjuncture. There must be,
something wrong with the scheme, or the
management of funds Those who prom
ised donations are entitled to withhold
them until satisfactory account of Smiths
resignation is given. He was the life and
soul of the social reform wing of the
army. It is likely his resignation is des.
tined to be the death. blow to Booths more
ambitious schemes.
