REPUBLIC OF BRAZIL.
Harrison nj Last Recognized the
Young Republic.

Senior Nalent, represent
ing the Republic of Brazil as
special Envoy and Minister
Plenipotentiary, called on the
President of the United States
last Thursday and spoke a. fol-
lows:
Mr.. President: 1t is gratifying
to me to have the honor of plac-
ing in Your Excellency's hands
the letter by which the Chief of
the Provisional Government of
the United States OF Brazil has
been pleased TO confirm me in
the capacity of Envoy Ex raor
dinary and Minister Plenip0ten-
tiary to the U"ited States of
America.
Giving full expression to the
sentiments and the earnest wish
es which animate the new Gov
ernment of Brazil towards this
great Republic, aud following
my own impulses as well, | beg
to assure You, Mr.. President, ,lthat
| shall omit 40 effort of any
kind to cultivate the friendly
relations that have ever existed
between our two countries.
/ feel very happy to have once
more the occasion to express to
Your Excellency the wishes of
the Government and people Of
Brazil for the increasing pros
perity of the American people.
President Harrison replied
Mr.. Minister | receive you as
the representative of the new
Republic, always grateful dut!
to tb e Government of the United
States. The peaceful course of
events at has transformed vhe
Empire Of Brazil into the Uni
ted States of Brazil has been OBJ

Government and people Of this
country. 1t is source of pro

Government of the Brazilian
Republic came into power with

lence. [ trust this circumstance
may prove q happy augury of
peace, progress and prosperity
in the career which now opens
to the United States Of Brazil,
Speaking for the people Of this
country, it will be my constant
aim to cultivate the most friend

ment, to increase the personal
intercourse and to enlarge the
commercial exchanges between
the two republics.
[ trust, Mr.. Minister, that yon

Why all this delay, Mr.. Harri-
son? The United States Of Bra
I'll, through its representative
has been waiting weeks and
weeks for recognition, but you
have tried to chill it with indif
ference. You gave as an excuse
that the Government in Brazi
was only provisional, and tha
the new order OF things had moi
been submitted to a popular
vote. Bnt the Government il
still provisional and no vote ha'
yet been had. Why is recogni

erning Congress have ever diff
rered i'll many respects from the
usual code Of rules for the gov
ernment of 6eliberatiVe bodies.
One of these las been that a
quorum was determined, not by
the number present, but by the
number voting on any given
question. FOrinStance, say that
there are three hundred and
thirty-three members of the
House of Representatives, and
that a majority constitutes n
quorum. Then suppose there
are only three hundred mem =
bers present in the House, one
hundred and sixty two of one
party and one hundred and thir-
ty-eight Of the other. On a
given question the one hundred
and siXty-twO vote in the affirm
ative and the one hundred and
thirty eight refuse 20 vote at al.
Then, according to the rules,
there are only one hundred and
siXty-tWO members present, less
than a quorum, therefore the
bill is not carried, for no legis-
latiOn can be done without a
quorum. At first sight it ap-
pears to be wrong to allow a
minority to thus clog the wheels
Of legislation, but the expert
ence and wisdom of a century
bas shown to the contrary.
When party spirit runs high
and reason aud Justice have
flown to more hospitable arena
such a rule is the only prOtec-
tion and safeguard for the rights
Of the minority, the only way
to prevent q dOmireering ma
jC1ity from passing selfish and
partisan legislation. And it is
only at such times that the mi
nority will defeat q quorum by
refusing from voting i'll a body
The present speaker Of the
House, Reed the AutOCrat. saw
that this rule was III the way OF
the partisan tyraniCal legisla
tion which his party had de
signed to pass at this session
he knew that the Democrat:
would resort to this alternative
when his party attempted t.
unseat seventeen Democratic t
make way for seventeen Repub
licaus. Therefore he has re
fused to recognize any rules
but is posing as a law unto him
self. When Mr.. Reeds part,
was in the minority he advoca
ted The justice of the rule. The
| Democrats appeal every da7
from his decisions, :, but he re
fuses to entertain the appeal, il
fact refuses even t. recogniz
the N eml er making the appea
as having the floor. A few day
since Representative Crisp aros
and sa id that he appealed from
"Phillip drunk to Phillip SO
ber," whereupon he quoted the
following language used by Rec
himself wheD the Democrat
: were in the majority:
"Ihe constitutional idea OF
quorum is not the physical pres
ence of a majority Of the mem
: bels Of the House, but a major
ity Of the members present an
participating in the business c
the House."
Mr.. Carlisle in denouncin

"For more than hundre
years no Speaker has eyer sat i

The action of oil in calming the sea is
now so generally recognized that the
new rules as to life saving appliances
require that every boat of sea going
vessels and all life boats shall carry
lone gallon of oil and a vessel of ap-
proved pattern for distributing it on
the water in rough weather" The po-
tency of oil in smoothing waves was
recently explained by Lord Rayleigh
before the Royal institution in a lucid
lecture.
The well known scientists expert
ments demonstrate hat foam or froth
is caused by impurities in liquids. Thus,
on shaking up a bottle containing pure
water, we get no apprecinble foam, but
taking a mixture Of water with 5 per
cent. OF alcohol there is n much greater
tendency to foam. Camphor. glue and
gelatine, dissolved in water. greatly in

still more.

thus increasing the force Of the break
ing waves. The film Of oil, " says
Lord Rnylcigh, may be compared to
an ~ineXtensible membrane floating on
the surface Of the water and hamper

As long as the advancing tumul uous
sea water is pure there is nothing to
oppose its periodic c-ontractions and
extensions, but when its surface is Gov
cred with the oily membrane the most
dangerous co~ntractions and extensions
ARE impossible.

Tuu Mics a minute it'll stean-
AruuAway railroad train on the branch
of the coast division from Aptos up TO
the Iona Prieta lumber mills created a
sensation along the line of the road Sept
10. Eight empty cars broke loose from
the engine at Monte Vista, about eight
miles north of Aptos- The road from
Monte Vista to Aptos is a heavy down
grade the entire distance, and the cars,
soon after starting, attained a tnemen-
dous rate of speed. and passed through
Iona Prieta at q mile a minute.
The flying car kept on the track until
they had gone the entire eight miles to
Aptos. Here four of the cars turned
on to the main track without damage,
two running as far as the high bridge at
the west end of Aptos, and the other two
stopping near the station. The other
-four cars dashed off the track and were
smashed into bits.
How the cars kept on the track fol
eight miles at such n speed over n cury-
ing mountain road is wonderful. No
one was on the train at the time il
started, and no one was injured, the
only loss being the four wrecked cars.
Railroad men claim the train made the
eight miles in four minutes
The down passenger train from Santa
Cruz, bound for San Francisco, had a
hairbreadth escape from destruction.
The passenger train had passed the place
where the runaway came onto the main
line but a minute and a half previously.
One of the wrecked cars struck a cypress
tree forty feet high and a foot and a half
in diameter and laid it fiat, almost tear
ing it from the ground.-Cor. San Fran

Some interesting particulars in refer
ence to the apportionment of naval prize
money and bounties are contained in a
return which has recently been printed
by order of the house of commons. From
this it appears that during the financial
year 1ss9-0O the sum of eS,322 was paid
over by the accountant general out of a
total of SOS, 1866, which has accrued dur
ing the last t~hirty-eight years. including
shares allotted t. the Naval Brigade foI

mutiny and booty gained during the
Chinese war of the same decade.
OF the balance. EAT 500 has been paid
over to tho consolidated fund since 1865
in accordance with the act Of parlia-
ment, and 81, 543 remains in hand should
claimants arise. A curious feature of
the return is the fact that out of eco, 1856.
the proceeds of captured slave dhows
during comparatively recent years, only
IS, 1856 appears to have been claimed.
