The Treaty With Brazil VIII Probably

NEW York, April 8.-The Worlds Rio
Janeiro special says: A Constitution has
been adopted and President da Fonseca
has been sworn in as Chief Magistrate of
Brazil
While the foreign mercantile commu-
nifty is still unrelenting in its strenuous
opposition to the ratification of Blaine's
treaty, it is now deemed beyond doubt
that unless President da Fonseca forbids
the Brazilian Congress from taking any
action IN the matter, the rejection of the
treaty is inevitable.
Fonseca continues to be animated with
the most friendly sentiments toward the
United States and ardently supports the
treaty, but Brazil, as Government. is
not acting in a fair spirit regarding those
provisions of the treaty which remove
the duty on wheat, coal and agricultural
implements, as it is levying port charge
of per cent. on these imports under the
cover of what is styled "expedients."
nominally for special dispatch or similar
to preference in handling. This is a
fraud and contrary TO the terms of the
