VIII the European Powers Unite to
Restore the Monarchy?

LONDON, Feb. 25.-The friends of liberty in
Europe and those who hope for the perpetuity
OF republican institutions in Brazil have the
grayest fears for the future of that country.
BY a tacit ii not concerted agreement all the
monarchical powers of Europe are throwing
every obstacle in the path of those who are
laboring to consolidate free government
there and the smallest excuse for insult and
ofense to them is eagerly taken advantage of.
1t appears almost certain that England is being
urged by other powers to take the initiative
in actual hostiities as tine most prominent
naval power, the one whose government is
theoretically the freest and also the one most
anxious to maintain reputation for protect
ing its citizens in all portions of the globe.
Foreigners in Brazil, and especially English
and Germans, have had for years almost a
monopoly of trade In the commercial cities and
the recent DEGREES there enforcing naturalza-
tIon have been dlStasteful as to force an eX-
oGus OF the majority OF them from the country.
Those whose interests do not permit Of their
leaving. being possessed of capital and IL .iu-
ence, have sheltered themselves under the
nags of their representatives and openly boast
OF their ability to overthrow the republic.
They are aided by the priestly faction and have
done their utmost even by openly assaultng
the officers OF the law, to precipitate rupture.
Ii Is highly probable that some reckless En-
glishman will soon cause an cffuslon of blood. IN
the hope of obtaining notorlety, and thus bring
on complications the consequences OF which wall
De disastrous to Brazil. The marquis OF Sails
bury has shown by has treatment OF the Brazil
charge d'aifaIres an astounding lack OF dipIo-
macy and justified the remark made yesterday
by a liberal leader of the house OF commons
that prejudice against free institutions is 50
ingrained IL men of Lord Salisburys stamp as
to hopclessly eradicate upon emergency every
principle OF fairness and Justice.

and men clad in cassocks and surp!ices. the Off
ciating cergymen, Rev. L. c. Swope, Rev. Nor

Sidney Webster, John jag. Richard King, C. L.
Southmaid, j. l.. Cadwalader. Following them
came the members of the Astor family and
friends While the casket was being carried
down the aisle the choir sang the professional
hymn, ''Hark, Hark. MY Soul" The clergy
men already named read the usual funeral
service of the Protestant Episcopal church and
at intervals during the service the choir sang

God, to Thee" II Heard Voice from Heaven" !"
and the recessional hymn, Jerusalem, the
Golden"
