BRAzIL'S RIVER TR ADE.

The Amazon steam Navigation Com.
pany sells Out.
NHw York. April 1.--Advicss from
Brazil report that the purchase Of the en-
tire plant Of the Amazon Steam Nnviga-
ton Company by the Brazilian corporation
Empraza de obras Publicss has been COM
plstsd. The purchase price Is $3.50. 900,
the first installmsnt Of which, g100,.
600, has already been paid in Europe.
This transfers from British to Brazilian
hands between 80 and 100 river steamers Of
all sizes, together with all the offices, land
ings, ETC., covering the entire basin of the
Amazon river and it's tributaries, or more
than 10000 miles OF nuyial navigation.
IMPORTANCE OF THE TRANSACTION.
The Importance of the transaction both
as regards Brazil and this country can
hardly be over-estimatei. 1t sweeps away
at one blow British influence and control Of
transportation facilities in the interior Of
Brazil. Hardly less important Is the fact
that the purchasers Of this immense
system OF river navigation are
the hackers Of the present Brazilian syndi-
cate which has bought up the bulk
Of the Para rubber crop and is con-
tinuing to absorb Amazon rubber as fast as
produced. With large financial resources
at their command aud with the entire navi-
CATION facilities Of the whole rubber pro-
ducing country In their control they are
likely TO be for some time 10 come masters
Of the situation.

lievs, is well founded, that the evidence con-
yGcted the men who were acquitted, we are
put in the unpleasant pcsition that Italy
cannot condone the lynching without as
suming the guilt ana veuahty Of the New
Orleans court. International comfy for
bids us to assume that Chief Of Police Hen
nessy's murderers vera tried by venal,
corrupt tribunal. Such an assumption
would be an insult 60 the United States,
although Americans are quite at liberty to
insult their own tribunal
POSITION OF THE COURT.
The position of the court OF King Hum
bert Of Italy during the present strained re-
lations existing between Italy and the
United States is an unpleasant one. The
court at present is unduly exposed to nlalev-
oent attacks, owing to the known and
much commented upon partially of
both the king and queen of
Italy for America and the Americans.
In fact, some Of Queen Margaret's special
favorites among the ladies of the court are
Americans. For instance. the wife OF Count
Gianotto, project Of the royal palace, was
formerly a Miss Constance Kenny of New
York; Princess Biancacio, one Of the queens
ladies in waiting, was, previous to her mer-
riage. Miss Field Of New York the wife OF
Cavalier Peruzzi, one Of the kings personal
equerries, was Miss Storey Of Boston,
and Princess Cenoi Bslighetta was Miss
Spencer of New York.
AN OFFICIAL PROCESSES FRIENDSHIP.
In an interview to-day prominent off,
ctal OF the foreign o flee said that in view Of
the calm, reticent confidence in the govern
ment which the Italian press displayed, IL
was difficult to understand the diffusion in
America of fantastic rumors, such as that
or the detention of Americans as
hostages. He then said: Baron Fa-
vas departure is a logical consequence
OF his failure to obtain satisfaction
for his just demands in regard to the lynch
ing OF Italian subjects, whose nationality
had been regularly established. Since
Minister Porter's request for delay IL is to
be hoped toat the American press, having
received precise information as to the situa-
ton, will endeavor to contribute to the
solution Of the problem the same equnnim-
ity shown by the Italian journals. Italy
IS sincere friend Of America, and l am
bound to hope for settlements in accordance
with Justice and equity, and with the
friendly cordially aud moderation befit-
ting both. nations. King Humbsrts repre-
sentative could not. however, be allowed to
quietly look on while guilty persons were
allowed TO 60 unpublished simply because
the United States government declined to
insure their being brought TO trial"
