Possibility of a Portuguese Republic.

A Berlin dispatch says that the
chief anxiety in government circles about
the situation in Portugal is not on account
OF tho financial disarrangement but the
probability Of political revolution. 1t Is
felt in Germany that the substitution of
Republican foreign institutions In Portu-
gal would be greatly to the benefit OF
France by making Portugal an ally to tho
French republic.
The French government has lately given
strong evidences OF sympathy with the
Portuguese, and France has been openly
warned in the British press not to encour-
ago Republican plots in the Peninsula.
The French would naturally like to see
the royal house OF Portugal, one OF tho
last rcigning branches of the Bourbon
family, driven from tho throne, and this
feeling has been intensified since the
nyowal of completely in the Boulanger
plots by the Com;c dc Paris. whose daugh,
ter is queen OF Portugal. 1t is not believed,
however, In Berlin or London, that Spain
would tolerate the existence OF republic
in Portugal, which would be made the
base OF u similar movement at Madrid.
On the other hand, It is suggested that
upon Spanish interference after the es-
tablishmont OF u Republican government
at Libson. France would ut once interfere
in behalf Of the Portuguese.

The Charleston and the l,a.a.

A dispatch from Acapulco, Mexico,
dated the 10th says: The American war.
ship Charleston and the Gillian man of
var Esmeralda are lying ut anchor near
the entrance to the harbor Of Acapulco.
The Gillian captain says that his vessel
has not called at any American port. Con
sequently, he says, ii is not probable that
the United States government will inter
fcrc with the movements OF either himself
or his vessel. An officer of the Esmoralda
In reply to aquestion put 10 him In the

probability of an old fashioned sea fight
between the Charleston and the Esmor-
aida said in a iocular and rather ambiguous
way; "Oh, the Itata is already out OF the
way. She has plenty Of coal and pro-
visions to carry her to her destination"
This remark has given rise TO tho report
that the ltata coalcd ut sea and proceeded
to her destination while the CHILEAN war
ship steamed for Acapulco to throw tho
United States authorities on the track.
Tho Esmeralda is short OF coal but the

THE EXPULSION OF THE JEWS.
Tho Russians do not Find It to be
Smooth Sailing.


Tho persecution OF the Jews in Mos
COW and other places is reacting on tho
Christian population. The Jews have
always been considered good in financial
sense, and debts certain Of payment. The
Easter commercial settlement was at hand
when the expulsion began, and tho multi
tudo OF Jews driven out Of Moscow loft
behind them unpaid debts to tho amount
Of millions Of roubles. This has involved
In bankruptcy numerous merchants and
others, and under Russian methods only q
small share Of tho property Of the bank
'rupts, as rule, reaches the creditors.
Thus there Is general Generalization OF
trade is Moscow, Kiefr and other cities.
Heretofore the rich jews In Russia have
been rather Indifferent 10 tho sufferings
OF their poorer brethren, but now they
make common cause with them, and
several of the wealthiest Jews In Moscow,
members OF tho first guild Of merchants,
enjoying the right OF residence there, have
determined to quit the city.
In Moscow hundreds OF protested bills
are coming before the Judge Of the COM
mercial court, who has toegraphed to tho
minister OF finance for instruction. II Is
said that the Jewish synagogue in st.
Petersburg will DO sold for 100000 rubles
md that the Moscow synagogue, but re-
Gently completed, is also for sale.

Wrecked in a Burning Forest.

Forest fires are playing havoc In

reports from them are most hurrassing.
At Moore's Run, Pennsylvania, train
load Of seventy-fve willing men, sent out
from Austin Sunday night, had been
fighting back tho fire, but were finally
obliged to retreat. They boarded the train
but too late. They were hemmed In by
the forest fire on one side and huge
skidway Of logs on tho other.
1t was finally decided to dash past tho
burning skidway, and the engineer and
fireman, with faces covered with damp
encd cloths and their hands and arms
wrapped In wool, mounted tho little engine
and pulled out through tho wall Of fire.

in groups on the flats for protection or lay
on their faces on tho floor. As the blazing
furnace OF logs was approached the heat

forgotten that such great heat would
surely spread the rails and he pulled the
throttle wider In the hope Of sooner escap-
ing from q torment of heat and smoke.
Then there was lurch, ind ominous
heaving and Shrek OF despair as the
train toppled over into the hell beneath.
Tho cars caught fro like so many paper
playthiags and the men within, half
blinded and scarcely realizing anything
except that they were being slowly roasted

tho track upon which they lay for time

and those only smarting from the pain Of

blackened hands to hid their more unfor-

Seven of tho party are missing and their
fate is not known, though they are likely
in the charred wood Of tho logs or train,
and tho entire party would have perisned
in the burned train or forest fire had they
not immersed themselves in creek.
