TO prepare the spot for the buildings that were 10 bo
placed there and have them completed in time for
the delcatory exercises. There is not enough room
on the Lake from; for the great palaces that were
to have been erected upon it, and there Is possibility
of getting any more. The Illinois Central Railroad
officials have no intention Of srrenderng their right
of way, and even if they showed disposition to help
out the Exposition nagcment, there is not enough
time left to move the tracks, 50 that the room th,y
occupy would be Of any use to the Fair The Illinois

The Brazilian Minister to Affirm Certain
Things and Deny Others.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-Senor Mendonca,
Brazilian minister here, received the fol-
lowing by cable from the Brazilian minis
ter of foreign relations, dated Nov. IA:
"Affirm that complete tranquility reigns in
all states except Rio Grande, whore con-
fiicts provoked by questions pertaining to
local politics have occurred, with which, in
virtue Of tho constitution, the federal gov
ernment could not interfere. Deny rumorH
of secession. The idea is condemned by all
Braziians. Affirm that no state thinks of
seceedinR; that members Of congress re-
turned to their states; those who remain
here 20 about the city at liberty. Thus far
the government has taken no violent meas
ure. A day will ba set for the next election
and congress convoked to meet immedi-
ately after. Gen. Dedorow will review the
troops tomorrow. the anniversary of the
proclamation of the republic"
He also received private information to
the effect that the length to which the re-
ported revolutionary movement in the state
of Para had gone was the adoption by the
state assembly of a set of resolutions con-
demning the action of the president and
approving the course pursued by congress.
