REVOLUTION In BRAZIL
SENSATIONAL REPORTS FROM THE
EMPIRE REPUBLIC.
Congress Dissolved and Martial Law De-
clared in Rio and Throughout the
Provinces : The Inadequacy of the
United States Navy Again Felt.

LONDON, Nov. 4.-A dispatch received
here from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, brings
news of what seems TO be another rev.
olution. Congress, the dispatch says,
has been dissolved, and martial law has
been proclaimed at Rio de Janeiro and
throggheut the provinces. The cs5le-
gram announces that,a dictatorship has
been established in Brazil.
BRITISH INVESTORS SCARED.
Fuller dispatches regarding the rev.
olution announced to have broken out
in Brazil are snxiously awaited here by
financiers and merchants who have
large interests at stake in that country.
The pope has expressed the hope that
the news received is not as serious as
at first outlined.
LONDON, Nov. 1.-The Times's Rio de
Janeiro correspondent says troops are
guarding the public buildings.
THE CAUSE OF THE CRISIS.
LISBON, Nov. "A cipher dispatch
from Rio de Janeiro attributes the crisis
there to the action OF the Brazilian con-
gress in passing bill depriving the
president of the right of veto. All tele-
grams are subject to strict censorship.
OUR INADEQUATE NAVY.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-The reported
revolutionary movement in Brazil, ac-
companied by declaration of martial
law and the establishment of dictator
ship, is likely 10 cause another demand
upon the already strained resources OF
the navy; for it is regarded necessary
for the protection Of American interests
that q naval force be at hand
there in case of a formida-
BILE outbreak. The only vessels attached
to the South Atlantic station in the
vicinity of Rio de Janeiro, are the Essex
and Tallapoosa.. The first is an old
wooden cruiser, the second is worn out
and offered for sale. The Boston is
somewhere off the Brazilian coast, en-
route to the Pacific, but it is not prob
able that she will be detained. The
Yorktown, however, was at Bahia,
Brazil, Saturday, and will probably be
ordered by cable to remain there ORE.
turn to Santos, Notwithstanding the fact
that she is also on the way to the Pacific
station. Meanwhile the work of repair
on the Newark at Boston is being
pressed, and in case of emergency, Ad-
miral Ghenardi's flagship, the Philadel-
phia, now on the way to the West
Indies from New York, could be ordered
by cable to proceed to Rio de Janeiro.

WAR INEVITABLE.
"a Rumor That Chile Is Going to Move
On Our Works.

On OuE w OIAbe
LONDON, Nov. "A private Valpar-
also dispatch says There is reason to be-
lieve that the Chileans, believing war
inevitable, will not allow the United
States to select their own time to declare
war, but will suddenly give Egan his
passport and at once attack the Balti-
more, so as to have the advantage of the
first blow. 1t is not believed among the
foreign residents of Valparaiso that the
other foreign men-of-war in. Valparaiso
harbor would permit this trescherous
act, but Captain Schley is keeping a Wig
liant lookout.
LESSON TO CONGRESS-.
New YORK, Nov. "A Washington
special says: The suggestion that San
Francisco might be bombardsd by war
ships Of Chile ought to carry lesson to
congress and the country. 1t is seri-
Gus fact that San Francisco would he to-
day at. the uaercy Of the Chilean fieet,
and, while the existing forts would en-
able us probably to prevent the approach
of such feet, the warning is none the
less clear to put. the Pacific coast in
proper state of defense. Chile is not the
only or the chief power to be guarded
against and even defense against
Chile's crippled navy might take away
the torpedoes, guns and moftars
intended for the Atlantic coast, and per-
haps needed. here, should the captain
Pratt be free at the right moment to at
tack. What then, can be done to pro-
vide proper defences for San Francisco?
One specific thing is the establishment
at Benicia or elsewhere in California Of
a government gun factory like those
now existing at West Troy for the army,
and at Washington for the navy,
CoNcILIAToRY TALK.
New YORK, Nov. 4.-The Valparaiso
correspondent of the Herald says: II
am just in receipt OF report from San
tiago to the effect that Minister of For
eign Affairs Malta has sent dispatch
to Minister Egan relative to the Balti-
more affair. 1t is said to be couched in
conciliatory tone, and to evince in every
way desire to see that justice is done
as soon as the inquiry in this city is con-
cluded."

DESERTED FARNTS

Professor N. $. Shaler of Harvard has made stir in Massschusetts by calling at tention to the decadence of agriculture in that state. He has an intimate acquaint- ance with all sections of the state, and he has found in nearly every section the same fact evident that the smaller farms, ex- cept where the soil is very rich, are in process of abandonment. Honesteads in great number have been deserted, many of them have fallen into decay, and lin hundreds of instances" continues the pro- lessor, "I have observed that only cellars, filled with the crumbling ruins of the ed flee, mark the sites once occupied by homes." Almost every county in the state is thus affected. Bristol county, with a number of important manufacturing towns and situated close to the largest cities of the commonwealth, has many abandoned houses, and the total area of land under tillag. is evidently much less than it was three decades ago. Forest growth has asserted itself where formerly were fruitful fields, and no less discour- dSluS CAlotS HI Sio SSSSioho OA the state more remote from the industrial centers.
 As @ somewhat extreme case Professor Shaler notes the condition of Martha's Vineyard, where the soils are of fair quail. ty, the markets easily within reach by sea- and cheap fertilizers, such as refuse fish and seaweed, immediately at hand. IT spite of these facts the decadence of agri culture has been constant, so that the farming population of the island has de- creased nearly one-half in the last fifty years. On one tract of about a thousand acres there are but seven dwellings al present, where there were twenty-one | forty years ago, and the present owner | found at the time of his purchase but two | of these seven occupied, while nearly one | half of the land formerly titled had been l given over to brush or trees. The price paid for the entire tract was about one
 third the probable cost of the building
 once standing upon it, and other section
 of the State could probably furnish figure equally startling.
 The free traders in Massachusetts ar
 ascribing the decay of farming to protec
 ton. Of course nothing conld be nor
 ridiculous. In England they put the re
 sponsibility for agricultural decadence ol
 free trade. A London correspondent says
 "There are eleven million acres of goo
 land out of cultivation in Great Britain
 and it is uncultivated because it will no
 pay to grow anything on it,as produce ca
 be imported cheaper than it can be grow
 in England. That is directly due to tn
 law which admits the foreign produce.
 is absolutely useless to blink at this fact.

AND STILL THEY COME.

Connecticut has reason to be satisfied with the working of the Mckinley bill During the present year hundreds of thou sands of dollars of foreign money have been invested here and new industries es- tablished. One of the latest is that of Harmel Brother & Co.,, French capitalists who have long operated an establishment for wool combing and the cleansing and securing of wool from the skins at War nerville, France. They have leased for a term of years the vacant Union mills at Manchester, this State, and will establish branch factory there. They will imme- diately put the old buildings into repair and erect new ones as soon as they get fairly started. They begin work with fifty employees and their manager says they ing if they haven't three times that number busy within year. They have a capital of about 100000. The Hartford Courant says: The cause of this company coming with it's new industry to this coun- try is the new tariff. The managers dc not hesitate to say so, and they say that if people in France felt assured that the tariff bill would not be repealed they would send millions of capital here. They are deterred only by the recent Democratic victories.
 We believe there are voters enough in the country who can see things as they are to prevent any further onslaught upon the prosperity of the country. The Nc Kinley tariff will stand, and its great bene fits will soon be apparent to all but the free traders who do not see why a country mon their theOry

Prancins, PosturinE, and Dancing.
 From Temple Barl

There is not in China at any time over. much of the charity that thinketh no evil. and where women are concerned there would seem to be none at all. 4 hand shake between s man and woman is as badly construed there as was ever a casual kiss in our own divorce court. But Yuan, when describing our social gatherings, does so without any overt condemnation; per haps he thought that plain and straight forward description of them would be quite enough.
 Besides invitations to dinner" he writes, there are invitations to tea part ies, such as are occasionally given by wealthy merchants or distinguished off cials. When the time comes sn equal mum Der of men and women assemble, and tea, sugar, milk, bread and the like are set out as aids to conversation More particularly are there invitations to skip and postur, when the host decides what man is to b, the partner of what woman. and what wo man of what man. Then with both armi grasping each other, they leave the table ii pairs, and leap, skip, posture, and pranc' for their mutual qualification. A man ana woman previously unknown to one anothe may take part in it. They call this skip ping tsdshen (dancingy"

ONE FEATURE OF CLUE LIFE.
The Plan of Lodging Non-Residenr
 Members Very Popular.


 From the New York Recorderl
 Club life in New York constantly takes on new developments. Perhaps the most striking recent bit of progress is the GUS tom of preserving several lodging rooms in the club house for the use of transient guests. Not many years ago this was not common in New York clubs, though il has been a custom in London clubs for gcner- ations past. The increase of nonresident members has made such provision ncccs- sity, and the comfort presented by club life to visitors have attended to attract such membership. The nonresident list of New York clubs has grown enormously within five years. It is now the custom in half a dozen clubs to take especially good care of this class of members. His dues are low, because it is expected he will be unable of ten to avail himself to club privileges. Dozens of men who frequently visit New York always telegraph ahead for lodgings at their clubs, and settle down upon srri- val to many home comforts that no hoteI affords.
 Those clubs that have adopted this plan find it exceeding Y popular. The rent oi rooms is usually placed somewhat below hotel prices, and it is the experience o most clubs that rooms for transients ar, almost constantly occupied. At the Re form the five rooms reserved for non-resi dents are often engaged for many day ahead, and lodging has to be refused t' many applicants.
 The rural lawyer, politician or business man coming to town for 2 few days finds i comfortable and fiattering to be luxuri ously housed and carefully attended, with out the infiction of tips and hotel clerks By the time he has visited the club hous' three times he finds himself with an agree able circle of acquaintances, who see to i that he comes to know the distinguished men of the club. and that he is not obliged to dine alone. Even men of consideration and influence in their homes confess thu charm of such life, and the man that hs once lodged for three days in his own clul will never willingly stay at hotel durins | his visits to New York.
