Democratic Opinion on a Third Party.
Chicago Inter-Ocean: Editor Dana's
prediction that the party that suffers
least from desertion to the Farmers
Alliance ticket will be,likely to elect
the president in 1892 is based upon
the obvious impossibility of the alliance
ticket being elected. In the south the
Democratic farmers will vote as Demo-
Gratis. 1t is hoped by the Democrats
that in the north the Republican farm
ers will not vote as Republicans. If
the hope be realized in any large de-
gree, either a Democratic president
will be elected by the college,, or in
the event of no majority in the college,
by vote of congress. Now, we are sue
that all farmers Of Republican ante
cedents and these are a majority of all
farmers in the northern states, would
regard the election of Democratic
president as an unmixed evil.
Whatever legislation peculiarly ben
efcial to. the agricultural interest has
been effected during the last forty has
been of Republican origin. Mr.. Cleve
lands administration ran it's course
without bringing single measure of
relief to the farmers of the country.
The Mills bill: had no loop or poten
TALLY through which reciprocity could
come. The re-introduction of American
beef and pork to German markets has
been made possible by Republican
policy. The possibility of great and
profitable industry by the manufac-
ture of beet sugar is a result of Repub-
lican policy. Increased exports and
decreased imports of farm produce are
results of Republican policy. These
matters should be duly considered by
the farmers of the northwest before
they venture the dangerous experiment
of Farmers Alliance ticket, which
will have no support from the farmers
of the south, and very little from the
farmers of the east.

Persons Painfully Cut and Bruised
by Flying Debris.
Special to The MORNING CALL

AKRON (Ohio), Nov. Two Howard

sons were buried in the ruins. One Of the
blocks was four-story brick with stone
front occupied by Herrick & Sons, cTockery
1obbers. The other was brick. three
stories high, and was occupied by the
bakery and confectionery business of S. B.
Lafferty.
About twenty people were in the dining
room in the rear of the bakery when an
omlnous cracking began. They immedi-
ately rushed out the back door and all es-
capped safely. A nusAer of clerks and
some customers in both stores were pain
fully cut and bruised by the flying debris
while making their escape. but only Francis
Miner and Walter Stanley are thought to
be fatally hurt.
Herrick & Lafferty both say all their
clerks got out safely. but an eyewitness
says he saw two or three persons on the
sidewalk in front of Herrick's store when
the crash came and that they must be
buried there. but late tonight it was ascer-
tanned that nobody was buried In the ruins,
as was at first supposed.
The debris is piled up on the sidewalk ten
feet deep, and the Fire Department is re-
moving it as rapidly as possible.
The wall between the two blocks has been
gradually undermined during the last few
years by water from an oveTfiowed sewer.

The Baltimore Reported Sunk by a
Chilean Torpedo Boat.
NEW YORK, Nov. Tt is rumored here
that the United States steamer Baltimore
has been sunk by Chilean torpedo boat, but
Secretary Tracy denies the correctness of
the report.
A special dispatch from Washington this
evening reported the prevalence of a yumor
there to the effect that the United States
cruiser Baltimore had been blown up by
Chilean tOrped0-bOats. No particulars
whatever were given, and no one IN author
ity In Washington had heard anything of
the matter. The origin of the rumor could
not be ascertained, and most people placed
1t on par with the sensational rnmor
which came from Samoa three years ago to
the effect that the Nipsic had been blown
up by torpedo from The German gum
boat Adler This rumor afterward proved
to be absolutely groundess.
SECRETARY TRACY's DENIAL.
CHICAGO, Nov. "A special from WASH

BRAZIL'S CRISIS.
Excitement Subsidins- Reported Proposal
10 Restore the Monarchy.

VALPARAISO, Nov. THE news has
been received here to-day from Rio de
Janeiro that President Deodoro da Fonseca
has held long conference with Ouro Preto
and Joaquin Nabuco. They are both promi-
nent 1mperialists, and this has given rise to
hopo among the supporters of the old
regime that Dom Pedro will be requested TO
return to Brazil and take the throne. In
case of his declining the offer, the story
goes, the throne will be offered to Count
D'Eu. the husband of Dom Pedro's daugh
ter. These stories are merely rumor, how
ever The President publicly promises 4
constitutional form of government. Tier g
are also uncontirmed stories of outbreaks in
the various provinces.

deal stirred up when the news of trouble in
Brazil reached Bucnos Ayres Troops

tween the Argentine Republic and the

DOM PEDRo's GRANDSON.
Rio DE JANEIRo, Nov. Tt is reported
here to-day that Augusta, one of the grand
sons of Dom Pedro, and an officer in the
Austrian Navy, is on board corvette which
IS expected to arrive here III Il few days
The rumor has increased the excite
ment that was caused by the dissolution
OF Congress and Da Fonseca's proclaiming
himself Dictator. Da Fonseca's followers
make use OF 1t TO justify his recent acts, and
say that lt proves his statement that the en-
emies of the republic have been engaged in
widespread conspiracy to restore imperial
rule. Augusta is the Oldest son of Dom
Pedro's youngest daughter, Leopoldina, who
married Prince August of the house of Sake
Coburg.
A DECISION EXPECTED.
1t is said that the Government proposes
to withdraw from the attitude it has as
sumed for some time past in regard to the
Central Railway. The decision will proba-
bly, be given some time tonight or to-mor-
row. Should the report prove true 1t will
materially improve the financial condition of
affairs Endorsements of Dictator Fonseca's
dissolution of Congress and his subsequent
acts continue to reach him. All of the
twenty States forming the republic are per-
tectly quiet. The army and navy continue
staunch IN their support of FOnseca.
NO TROUBLE EXPECTED.
RIO JANEIRo, Nov. All is quiet here
to-day, and the state of siege is not
vigorously enforced. Business is proceed
ing as usual. Similar rerorts are received
from the provinces. President da F0useca's
illness alone constitutes the source of
danger.
NEW York, Nov. AT the Offices of
Charles K. Flint IL CO. and William r.
Grace X Co, South American merchants, it
is said this morning their RIO advices are
OF the most reassuring character. There is
