AFFAIRS IN BRAZIL.
Exact Condition of the Revolt From Semi
Oficial Sources.


The bureau of American republics has from
semi-offcial sources the following information
in regard to the present condition Of affairs in
Brazil
The Geographic and other news which comes
| from or via London is often entirely false and
generally distorted and magniied. British
jealousy of the increasing influence of the
United States in Brazil and the fear of losing
commercial supremacy in that country so long
and profitably maintained under the empire
are the motives which inspire the false and
alarming dispatches concerning political dis
| turbances in Brazil.
The Brazilian government denies officially
movement in Brazil and declares that outside
of Rio Grande do Sui there is no conflict or dis
turbance of the public peace.
In the state just mentioned. the most south
ern in Brazil, and bordering on Uruguay and
the Argentine Republic. the situation is
peculiar and needs some special explanation.
When the revolution of November, 1899 sub
stituted the republic for the empire the state
of Rio Grande do Sui accepted the new form of
government quite as readily and with as little
disturb as any other. but ON the organiza-
ton of the state government party lines were
closely drawn and party feeling warmly aroused
between the republicans on the one hand and
the adherents of the liberal party. partisans Of
the deposed leader, Silveira Martins on the
other. Forcible resistance was offered to the
installation of the governOr-elect. who was the
candidate Of the republicans. The armed in
PREVENTION of the federal government was
necessary to overcome this resistance. but the
feeling Of opposition naturally remained and
was perhaps intensified by federal interference.
A telegram of the Brazilian minister of for
eign affairs at Rio de Janeiro to the minister

as an outbreak of the struggle between the two

an angry mob. Minister Kennedy's coach was
somewhat damaged by colliding with other
vehicles. whose occupants insisted upon getting
the right Of way. This unpleasant incident
put Mr. Kennedy in an indignant frame of
mind and ever since he has evinced a spirit
OF unfriendliness toward the authorities.

In his annual report to the Secretary of the
Navy Col. Haywood, commandant of the ma
rine corps. speaks of the severe strain upon the
marines at navy yards by the increased demand
for sea service, resulting in dissatisfaction and
the loss Of many old soldiers. He urges an in

twenty-five corporals and $50 privates. Also it
is recommen ded that the provisions OF the act
of Congress to prevent assertions from the
army. which has operated with signal benefit
be extended to include the marine corps, as
well as the provisions of the act requiring ex-
aminations for promotion.
Col Haywood speaks with pride of the results
OF the experiment of using the marines aboard
ship to man the secondary batteries and pre-
diets that when they have completed the course
of instruction at the barrack school they will
be the peers of any enlisted man in the service
An appropriation of 81 900 is asked for in order

cheney of the band. Legislation is recon-
mended to establish the band on firmer basis
with a satisfactory classification.

THE SILVER ACT.
Secretary Foster Discusses IL In . Letter to
the BANKERS.

letter from Secretary Foster on the opera
tons Of the silver act of July IA. 1880 was read
at Wednesdays session of the bankers conven-
| ton in New Orleans. Mr.. Foster says in speak
ing of the need for an increase in the circulat-
ing medium of the country: "Whils it is true
| that the amount Of money in circulation in
| this country at the present time 10 greater than
at any previous period in our history. and
more per capita than in any Of the leading
commercial nations of the world. with the
single exception of France. am Of the opinion
that owing to our rapid growth in population
and wealth and the extraordinary develop
ment in all kinds Of business a yearly increase
IN our circulating medium somewhat proper
tlonate to our growth in population is impera-
lively demanded.
The Issue Of treasury notes under this act
affords such an increase OF n perfectly conven-
lent and sound currency based dollar for dol
lar upon the cost value of silver bullion, re-
deemable on demand in gold coin and with the
pledge OF the government to maintain 1t at
par"
Referring to the benefits of this increase, he
goes on to say: That this addition to our circu
latlon has proved beneficial forcibly ex-
hlbited during the spring and summer OF the
present year, when, through the necessities OF
Europe. gold was withdrawn from this country
In large quantities, aggregating in a brief pc
Nod OF live months over so, 600. 000."
The effect of the silver act on the enhance
ment and decrease in the value of silver is also
touched upon, as follows:
Under the operations of this law silver adj
vanced from sO.96 per fine ounce on the LIST of
January. 1880. to S1.21 on August 10, 1890.
That it has again refrigerated in price is owing
in part to the fact that. because Of the liberal
policy exercised by the treasury, as required by
law IN the purchase of silver both as 20 the
quantity purchased and the price paid. large
amounts of foreign silver were attracted to this
market. Other causes. which l cannot enlarge
upon. have operated to produce this result.
prominent among which is the large falling off
i'll the shipments of silver to India and China"
Regarding the reconciliation of silver the
Secretary says: IF the reconciliation of silver
as full legal-teuder money is ever to be accom-
plished it can only be done by the action of
nations of sufficient commercial importance to
maintain some fixed ratio in coinage between
the two metals"
He also points out how the new silver act is
az important step in that direction and n de-
cided improvement on the act of 1878. which
il repeats. in that it furnished sound currency
to meet the growing wants of our country and
has n tendency to reduce the differencein value
between the two metals and thus help to re-
store the equilibrium SO much desired"

The bankers convention met in New Orleans

of New York did not present his paper on the
silver question Wednesday, but read it yester-

the currency By providing n single automatic
issue in lieu of any carricious issue of circu-
lating notes. These notes would be redeemable
in coin, on coin reserved for them being nj
face amount OF the notes. Hon. John jaw
Knox, ex-controiler of the currency, replied to
Mr.. St. John. arguing aganst the free coiuag e
of gold and silver. Mr.. johnson OF Birming-

in Cincinnati, Covington and Newport is now
said to be agreed upon by all but two of the
twenty-seven breweries in the three cities.
These two will undoubtedly JOIN in the move
ment if the plan is carried out. The idea is to
accomplish consolidation by incorporation
under the laws of Ohio vesting the authority in
a board OF trustees who would have central
Office but each brewery would be managed by
its present owners A great reduction in ex-
penses is claimed for the new plan and also the
virtual control OF the beer trade similar to that
enjoyed by the whisky trust.
