THE BRAZILIAN SITUATION.
Fonseca and the Revo1utionists Can't Get
at Each Other.

FOnseca and the Revolutionists Can't Get
at Each Other.
A dispatch from Montevido says that
affairs are at a standstill as between
Fonseca and the iunta of Rio Grande do
Sui. This is not because either party is
afraid to fight, but because they cannot
force hardly deserves the name of q
fleet, and is chiefly composed of small
steamers that were used by the govern
ment for custom house purposes. There
is also a gunbOat or two, but none that
could cope in open waters with the
powerful squadron at the command Of
Fonseca. On the other hand, the con-
dition of the interior is impossible for
artillery, the roads in the woods being
mere pathways, and this and
the bars that protect Rio Grand do
Sui and the mouth of the salt
water inlet that gives access to
Porto d'Alege, make it extremely diff
cult for Fonseca to bring either tormid-
able naval or military force to bear
against the province which refused to
recognize his supremacy. The two par
ties, therefore, are for the present in a
condition of reserved hostility. Fonse-
ca may at any moment succeed in over
coming the barriers that stand
in the way of invasion, and
the Junta may grow bold enough
to strike an offensive blow: but
for the present the contest is confined
to an interchange Of messages. The
Junta has military force that would of
fer powerful resistance on it's own
ground to any attack by Fonsecas
troops. The fighting reported has been
little more than desultory encounters
in the Rio Grande province
between the forces of the Junta and
small bodies Of regular troops that
refused to give up their adherence to
Fonseca. In these encounters the Jun
ia has been successful, and the whole
province is now substantially in obedi-
ence to the Junta. Uruguay continues
to maintain a strict neutrality, and the
numerous refugees at Montevideo have
beeEi cautioned that they may not use
the territory of Uruguay as base of
operations against Brazil.

FACED AN AWFUL GALE.

Britannia Has Tempestous Passage
Ouartermaster Mckenzie Drowned.
New YORK, Nov. 21.-The White Star
Line steamer Britannia arrived at her
dock here this morning after one
of the toughest voyages the yes
sci has experienced in her seven
teen years buffeting the waves
of the Atlantic. She left Liverpool on
the 18th inst, when terrific gale was
sweeping around the British coast and
playing havoc with shipping. She inn
mediately ran into boiling sea that sent
mighty volumes of water over the vessel.
The crew were compelled to cling TO
ropes to keep from being swept over
board. One sea boarded the vessel,
swept over the deck and carried with it
Quartermaster Thomas Mckenzie, who
in going over the rail gave a piercing
shrek of despair. He disappeared
in the angry waters and was
seen no more. In such a sea
nothing could be done for him. The
Britannia continued to meet very rough
weather during the greater part of the
voyage, and for the most part the pas
sengers we're unable to 60 upon deck.
The time of the voyage was s days 5
hours minutes. covering 2,791 miles.

AOUEER SITUATION.
Effect of the Latest Russian Ukase on
California Wheat.

A San Francisco dispatch of the Dist
says: "Wheat options advanced l to
cents per GENITAL to-day in response to
Eastern markets and owing to the news
that Russia had forbidden further ex-
port of that cereal. In regard to
the effect here of the Russian ukase,
Secretary Friedlander, of the Produce
Exchange, said: "This market usually
follows that of London, on which Europe
also depends. Liverpool and London
are now dependent on New York and
Chicago, as the United States now holds
the wheat. The San Francisco market
Is now in peculiar condition.
The market has cornered itself with
out manipulation by reason Of
a scarcity of wheat and the al
most unprecedented number of ships
available and under charter for wheat
CARRYING. 1t is estimated that the stocks
of wheat in this state December l will
not aggregate over 10000 tons, while
there are at present in port vessels
with an aggregate carrying capacity
Of 1000 tons. Fifty more ships
are due here by the end of
this year, with an aggre-
gate of 10000 tons, making a
total of 1000 tons carrying capacity.
Ii all received cargoes, 1T VIII leave a
surplus Of only go, 900 tons of wheat by
the end of the year, and from this We
must provide for our own use and for
exports in the way of flour to Asia
and South America. The market
is relieved somewhat by Ore
gon shipments, but they cannot
send US enough to balance our needs. !"
Owing to the surplusage OF wheat-car-
rying vessels, charters to the United
Kingdom are rated at 80 to So shillings,
and it is contended they may drop to
% shillings. Should there be further
decline in ocean freights, it is predicted
that spot wheat, which is now quoted at
$I.S7, will 90 to s. per GENITAL

RUSSIA CANNOT BORROW.
Chances of Peace Increased by Failure to
Raise Funds.

Chances of Peace Increased by Failure TO
Raise Funds.
Berlin papers, on apparently good
grounds, associate the Russian ukase
prohibiting the export Of wheat and
wheat products with the failure of the
overtures of M. V1shnegradsky. the
Russian finance minister, to Berlin
financiers to reopen the Ger
man market to the Russian
loans. Mendelssohn and other
financial houses have again been in con-
sultation with the government with
reference to the subject. The Kreuz
Zeitung states that this time the gov
eminent, instead of declining to indi-
cate what the bankers ought to do,
definitely indicated that the guaranty
offered bv Russia did not suffice to
Justify official approval Of German
credit being ventured in the loans.
1t is understood that diplomatic
approaches through Count Won Schou-
valoff, the Russian ambassador at Ber-
lin, on the attitude of the government,
received an equally decisive rebuff.
The fasco which the French syndicate
made of the last Russian loan has enor-
mouslv increased the financial difficult
ties of Russia. NJ. Vishnegradsky has
U00u lOICou W I0lloN0 CHO Sy uulCdt0 VI
eS,000,000 out of the e20.000. 900
sterling offered. The public official de-
NAL that the Rothschilds have taken
over e5,0O0,0O0 is partially true. Bonds
amounting to GS,000,000 have been
placed in the Rothschilds' keeping with
no responsibility attached to their future
issue through the firm, and the French
syndicate is relieved of a burden of
e6, 100000 sterling which the Russian
treasury hoped to receive. Thus Rus
STA, instead of having realized ZIG ,000,-
600 on the loans, obtains only e9,000,000.
The refusal OF the German government
to permit bankers to bolster up the
Russian credit ends for a long time to
come the chances of Russia borrowing
money abroad, and strengthens the
chances of peace.

Gigantic Skeleton, Evidently of Prehis-
toric Monarch, Exhumed in Ohio.
CHILLIcoTHE, o., Nov. 17.-Warren K.
Morehead and DIR. Cresson, who have
been prosecuting excavations here for
the past two months in the interest of
the Worlds Fair, have just made one of
the richest finds Of the century in the
way of prehistoric remains. These gen.
tiemen have confined their excavation
to the Hopewell farm, seven miles from
here, upon which are located some
twenty-odd Indian mounds. On Satur-
dav they were at work on mound 500
feet long, 200 feet wide and % feet high.
At the depth of fourteen feet, near the
center of the mound, they ex-
humed the massive skeleton of a man
incased in copper armor. The head was
covered by an oval-shaped copper cap,
the jaws had copper mouldings, the
arms were dressed in copper, while cop
per plates covered the chest and stom-
ach and on each side of the head, on
protruding sticks, were wooden antlers
ornameated with copper. The mouth
was stuffed with genuine pearls of i'm
mense size, but much decayed. Around
the neck was necklace of bears teeth,
set with pearls. At the side Of the male
skeleton was also female skeleton, the
two being supposed to be man and wife.
1t is estimated that the bodies were
buried fully 900 years ago. Messrs.
Morehead and Cresson believe they
have at last found the king Of the
mound builders.

ACTOR FLORENCE DEAD.
Sudden Termination of an Attack o
Pneumonia.


Pneumonia.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. 19.-William
J. Florence, the actor, died at the Con-
tinental Hotel, this city, at $50 o'clock
this evening. Death came as startling
surprise to those in attendance
upon the sick man, for the reason
that his condition had been considered
as improving during the afternoon and
early evening. Only Mr.. Florence's
sister-in-law. Mrs. Barney Williams, of
Wizard, of Washington, and DR.. Patrick
passed away. He had been appar-
emily getting better, and the
physicians had no idea that the end
was So near. DR.. Pancoast, who
had charge of the case, had left the
hotel about O'Clock secure in the idea
that his patient was doing as we'll as
could be expected. His brother, Po-
lice Inspector Conlin, left for New York
at O'Clock with the same impression.
Mr.. Florence was very weak during the
day from exhaustion and in the after
noon was somewhat fighty. Towards
evening he slept most of the
time, however, and his death came
SO peacefully that it may be said that he
SIopt away. lie mace no uJCoranC0
whatever, and the first intimation the
watchers had of his death was that he
ceased to breathe. Dr. Donnellan,
when certain that the breath of life had
passed from his patient, looked at his
watch and said that the hour was just
half-past s o'clock Mrs. Williams and
Mrs. Wizard were very much Frustrated
by the death of their brother.
