WASHINGTON. Dec. 25.--The bureau
of American republics has received in
formation ofthe organization of a curl
Jus corporation III Brazil, under the
name of The COmpanhia Nova Era Rural
de Brazil, with 4 capital of S25, 600, GOO,
a large part Of which has been furnished
by bankers and merchants, and the re-
mainder by local investors. The object
OF this corporationi is to establish twenty
agricultural settlements upon the pub
lie lands OF Brazil, which are given free
of cost by the government to aid the
enterprise: to construct lines of rail
way tor placing these settlements in
communication with each other and
their markets; to carry out other engi-
neeTlng work, mining operations, and
the manufacture of sugar, bricks, tiles,
lime and ether articles for export as
well as for local consumption. This
company proposes to select five thou
sand families in Europe, consisting of
skilled agriculturiStS and mechanics and
transport them free of cost 10 Brazil,
where houses will be prepared for their
occupancy. and tools and implements
furnished for their use. These colonists

that it is regarded with a suspicion that
may not be well founded, but which is
certainly operating to disturb the bust
ness relations between the North and
South"
The Post also says: There is at pres
ent an interesting point of difference
between Senators Edmunds and Hoar
regarding the future programme in the
senate. Senator Edmunds believes that
1t would be perfectly right and proper
for the presiding officer of the senate to
refuse TO recognize a minority senator
and thus bring the elections bill to a
vote. He believes that the course of
procedure should be the same "a in the
English house of commons. where the
speaker has the power to close debate,
and he justifes his belief with
the statement that a body or
ganized TO transact business should
transact 1t. Senator Hoar and others do
not go this far, but claim that the pre-
siding officer has the power to bring TO
a close any fi!ibustering proceedings
which have for their object the defeat
of a rule. They assert that forcible
measures in this case would be conSti-
t%utlonal, because the constitution gives
each house the right to determine its
rules. This distinction between cloture
for a bill and cloture for a rule is a fine
one, and has not hitherto been COM
mented upon.

XCoMBINING ALL AROUND,
And Hope to Make Money by
Crushing Connection.

SPRINGFIELD. O., Dec. 25.-This city
IS the largest manufacturing center for
agricultural machinery in the United
States, and little is talked of
here but the formation of trusts
or combines in reapers and other
implements. Beside the reaper trust,
a threshing machine combination is
talked. A meeting is said to have been
held and a company with a capital stock
of $50. 100000 proposed. The latest
scheme is a gram drill combine. 1t is
said that a number of the large grain
concerns i'll the country are already
figuring on the deal. The effects of
these trusts will be far-reach-
ing, and will throw out of
work, it is said, 5000 travelling
agents and middlemen who have been
selling agricultural machinery for the
various companies. 1t is estimated that
the saving TO the harvester trust over
the old competitive system is $40, DOC, 900.
Three-ffthS of this will come from the
stoppage of salaries to agents and
middlemen, and the remainder from
decreasing advertising and shutting
down about thirteen of the smaller
manufactures.

MR.. SMITHS RESIGNATION.
Starts Lively Gossip About the
Salvation Army.

u AAsChy 0oSSIp IAOodt GIlO
Salvation Army.
LONDON, Dec. 26.-The Times an
2Ounc that Commissioner Smith. of
the Salvation Army, has resigned. His
resignation. the paper says, at this crit
teal period in the history of the
army is most important. because Mr..
Smith formed the one substantial guar
antee that an earnest and businesS-like
effort would be made to execute the
practicable part of Gen. Booths scheme
OF social regeneration. The secret
authorship of "In Darkest England
is nov common knowledge, but the
charitable hypothesis assigns Gen.
Booth credit for having writ
ten at least two chapters of the book.
Gen. Booths explanation is that lie sup
piled a professional writer with the
materials for the work. The question
whether Gen. Booth, under these cir
the book to appear as if written by him
self is II of literary ethics
whereinto we have no right to
expect Gen. Booth to enter. We be-
lleve that when the whole story is re-
vealed, it will be found that the sub
Stantial parts of the scheme of city and
farm colonies originated with MIR.
Smith. Gen. Booth, reluctantly accept
ing the resignation, asserts that the
ground of difference between Mr.. Smith
and himself is that while Commissioner
Smith always opined that it was
absolutely necessary to keep the social
working scheme as distinct as possible
from the religious work of the army.
Gen. Booths method of inviting dona-
tons, despite his apparent willingness,
leads to the mingling of all separate
funds into one common fund, rem
dering it obvious that every con-
trlbution to a specific department
was a prop0rtionate amount of the gem
eral fund, free 10 be spent at the di-
rection of Gen. Booth. Nothing but a
sense of duty. the paper continues,
could have induced Commissioner Smith
to resign at so important a j%uncture.
There must be something wrong with
the scheme or the management of the
funds. Those who promised donations
are now entitled to withhold them until
a full and satisfactory account of Mr..
Smiths resignation is given. He was
the life and soul of the social reform
wing of the army. 1t is likely that his
resignation is destined to be the death
blow to Gen. Booths more ambitious
schemes.

NO BACKWARD STEP.
Timothy Sullivan Doesn't Favor
Compromise.

DUBLIN, Dec. 25.-Mr. Timothy d.
Sullivan. IL of the Irish ENJOYS who
has returned from the United States,
arrived IN Cork to- day ana received an
address from the McCarthyite commit
tee. In his reply to the address. Mr..
Sullivan said that when he left Ireland
he had a leader in whose sagacity, good
temper and self-restraint all had conf
dence. He did not recognize those
qualities in Parnell now. All the hopes
the delegates had when they left for the
United States had been changed be-
cause III man had gone wrong. A vast
majority of intelligent Americans were
against Nh. ParneIl. Mr.. Sullivan urged
lrishmen not to look on the question as
one OF loyalty to a man. Mr.. O'Brien
had started for France, fondly believ-
ing that he could heal the breach and
reunite the Irish party. He wished Mr..
O'Brien success, but was firmly con-
WINGED that the action taken against
Parnell was the proper course to be
taken in the matter, and he believed
that history would commend the Irish
men for what they had done.

THE JEWS.
Explanation of the Russian Anti
Semitic Legislation.

semitic Legislation.
LONDON, Dee. 25.-According to a st.
Petersburg letter, Privy Councillor
S~toinanovski has made a semi-of1icial
communication to of the leading for
eign residents of st. Petersburg in rela-
ton to the new anti-Semitic legislation.It
is in substance that the restrictive treat
ment of the Jews is made necessary by
the course pursued by that people in
absorbing by usury and ~overreaching
the money and means of the poorer
classes of Russians, and that the pro-
posed law prohibiting the Jews from
owning landed estates is intended to
prevent them from acquiring by trick
cry and oppression the property of Or
thodoX Russians.o OF which a vast amount
is already in Semitic hands; that moth
ing is done which is not strictly requisite
for the protection of the Christian sub
jects of the ear. and that Russia is only
leading i'll the curse that England and
Europe generally will be compe led to
pursue, unless all property is to be al
lowed to fall into the hands of the He
brewS. 1t is understood that the ear
himself will take no notice of the re-
monstrance from citizens of London
against the persecution of the Jews.

Senator Paddock, of Nebraska, was in

he would move to lay aside

there is nothing in the provisions of the

he is continually guying the other act

A curious phase of the Sullivan craze
is that women the majority of them

to engage in at least one more finish
battle before retiring permanently from

IN THE GRAN CHACE.
"A Wonderful Country Up the Pa
rama River.

WASHINGTON, Dee. 25.-The bureau
of American republics has received re-
ports OF an expedition that was recently
sent by the Argentine government up
the Parana river to explore what is
known as the Gran Chace, a tract of
country in the northern part of the Ar
gentiue republic that is as absolutely
unknown as the interior of Africa. This
expedition has returned. having trav-
eled some 1000 miles, and reports that
the Gran Chace, which has been sup
posed to be a sort of swamp, is, on the
contrary, a land of much promise, the
climate being mild and healthy, and the
soil rich and dry. Maize, corn and
sugar ans there attain enormous size,
and there is much valuable timber.
