from Rio JanelrO states that the elections for
members of the new Chamber of Representa-
tives are expected TO take place IN January.
The Congress will revise the constitution and
will retain its republican and federatiye char
acter.
The dispatch further saws that commits
sion has been appointed for the summary
trial OF persons charged with being enemies
Of the republic. and that upon conviction on
that charge they will Immediately be ban
ished from the country.
Advices received by the Times from Rio
Grande do Sui declare that the army and navy
have compelled President ds Fonseca to as
sumo the dictatorship. and that there is con-
siderable agitation in the province of Rio
Grande do sui. where the late events at Rio
Janeiro are considered to be but prelude to
the restoration Of the empire.
THE REAL CAUSE.
The Times dispatch continues: "The latter
is not yet certain. but personal observation in
4 4ltoa o1,a
a republic was only the cloak 10 cover the
ambition Of certain demagogues and not the
desire OF the nation. Jobbery. public rob-
berry and the lowering OF the rate of e1-
change. which have occurred since, have en-
gendered universal discomfort and was the
precursor Of the present cataclysm.
North Brazil is decidedly in favor Of an
empire. and only in Central Brazil is the re-
public popular. This may lead to Dom
Pedro's grandson becoming chief of the State
under a regency Of three prominent citizens
representing the Northern, Southern and
Central provinces and insuring the unity of
Brazil"

man with thirst for power. and therefore
there could be no doubt that his action in es-
tablishlng martial law was taken IN the belief
that II was IN the interest of the country and
necessary under the circumstances.

Of things will be restored Us soon as a new
Congress Is elected
The SITUATION IMPROVING.

R,o .Janerio. Nov. 6.-The situation is i'm.
proving. The troops no longer guard tee-
graph Offices and the censorship is aban-
doDed. Order Is maintained and business
is uninterrupted. EXcb ange is firm and i'm
proving. The people are satisfied with re-
cent events.
CONSPIRACY FRUSTRATED.
lBy Gable to The Iimesl
LONDON. Nov. Ga dispatch from Rio
JaneirO says that President tOnseca assumed
the supreme command barely in time TO pre-
vent the fruitiOn of a conspiracy to restore
the empire. This conspiracy Is known 10
have a strong European support. and has
been directed in Brazil by adherents of tho
eI-Imperial family, who were leniently per-
mitted 10 return 10 or remain in the
country. But for the Presidents action
they would have probably attempted a
coup d'stat within a few days. As il is. the
Brazilian authorities are reused 10 the utmost
vigilance and both the army and navy are
loyal 10 the republic. Several arrests have
been made and all those to whom the treason
can be brought home will be dealt with Sc
verely. Others under strong suspicion will
be expelled fromaBrazil. Entire tranquility
prevails, and IL il believed that there will be
no outbreak. President Fonseca Is in good
health and has the loyal support of his minis
ters and the executive authorities IN all de-
partments.
THE CHIKF CONsPIRATOR.
II is reported that the Count D'Eu, son-in-
law of Dom Pedro. Is at the bottom Of the
present effort TO undermine republican
government in Brazil. The count, whose ex-
traordinary arrogance and assumption he'd
much 70 do with making the overthrow of
Dom Pedro possible has never been content
to rest under the deprivation of his wife's
magnificent Inheritance. lie IS thorough
Bourbon and very pompous. without
ability to sustain his claims. TO re-
spect and anxious 10 figure in the courts OF
ROYALTY The count is known to have been in
communication with Brazilian restorationists
and has been watched III behalf of the Bra
lillian Government more closely than he sup
posed. IL is not thought that Dom Pedro has
any part III the conspiracy or even a knowl-
edge of it. Fonsecas prompt action has un-
doubtedly caused some disappointment in
certain influential circles of England where
the hope Of the restoration Of Brazilian mon
archy has never been entirely surrendered.
