RIO DE JANEIRo, Nov. 6.-The situa-
tion of affairs here to-day is reassuring.
The troops which have guarded the tele-
graph offices since the disturbance COM
menced, have been withdrawn, complete
order prevails and the usual amount of
business is being transacted. The Gov
ernment has ceased to interfere with any
kilograms, and the general impression is
that revolution is not likely to occur.
The prosperity of the country is unim-
paired by the recent occurrences.
New YORK, Nov. GA prominent
business firm in this city to-day received
the following from Rio: Everything is
quiet. Business is proceeding as usual"
ELECTIONS TO BE HELD IN JANUARY.
PARIS, Nov. Ga dispatch from Rio
de Janeiro states the elections for men,
bers Of the new Chamber of Representa-
tlyes are expected to take place in Janu-
ary. Congress will revise the Constitu-
ton and will retain its republican and
federative character. The dispatch further
states commission has been appointed
for the summary trial of persons charged
with being enemies of the republic
Upon conviction of that charge they will
be banlshed from the country.
TALK OF RESTORING THE EMPIRE.
LONDON, Nov. G.-Advices received by
the Times to-day from Rio Grande do Sui
declare the army and navy compelled
President Da FonSeca TO assume the Die
tatorship, and there is considerable agita-
ton in the Province of Rio Grande do Sui
where the late events of Rio de Janeiro
are considered to be but a prelude to the
restoration of the empire. The Times
dispatch continues: Northern Brazil is
decidedly in favor of an empire, and ONLY
in Central Brazil is the republic popular.
This may lead to Dom Pedro's grandson
becoming Chief of State, under the re-
gency OF three prominent citizens.
TROOPS FAITHFUL TO FONESCA.
PARIS, Nov. 6.-The Brazilian Minister
here to-day said: 1.-The Brazilians will
never accept Dictatorship, and Presi-
dent da FOnesca will not dream of it.
Martial law has been proclaimed only in
Rlo de Janelro as a protection against the
mOnarchistS' attempt at the restoration of
the empire. From the experience OBJ
tanned when Dom Podro was dethroned.
Congress is aware that it cannot depend
upon the support of either the army or
navy. If it could it might initiate Chile
and seek to fight Fonesca.
The troops remain faithful, because
they fear the monarchical menace behind
the eventful success of Congress. Fon-
SEGA is i'll, and has neither the will nor
power to menace the existence of the Re-
public. Brazilian finances are in good
order. There is enough money deposited
in London to meet all expenses abroad
for the next nine months" The Minister
replied that he had no fear but the cleo
ton would turn in favor of the Govern
ment,

CHICAGO, Nov. GA private letter re-
ceived to-day from Benjamin w. Wells.
one of the United States steamship Balti-
more's officers, by his father in this city,
explodes the assertions of the British
naval officers that the Baltimore acted as
spy on Chilean insurgents when the
latter landed at Quintero. The beginning
of the letter was dated August 23d, and
reads as follows: my last letter to you
was from Coquimbo. The day it was
mailed we received word that the insur-
gents had landed near Valparaiso"
Extracts show conclusively that the
Baltimore, instead of being alongside OF
the British ship Champion on the day of
the Quintero landing, as the officers of
that ship asserted according to a dis
patch from Victoria, B. c., printed this
morning-was at Coquimbo, and not near
Quintero. Mr.. Wells says the news of
the landing reached him at breakfast, and
the Baltimore did not leave Coquimbo
until midnight The first thing that at
tracted attention on reaching Valparaiso
harbor at sunset the following evening
was the insurgent warshipS Abtao and
Magallenes, with flags flying at all masts
IN celebration of the insurgent success in
the first days fight.
The letter then describes the scenes at
tending the fall of Valparaiso, including
the taking of the wounded officers,
women and children aboard the Balti-
more, and practically the accession Of the
Junta to power. Then he adds prophet
lcally: I'VE will not be in good favor
here-that may be taken for granted. Af-
ter capturing the Itata and cutting the ca
ble at Iquique, the chances for bare po-
likeness are slim.''
The letter concludes as follows: 81
heard the Minister of War say last night
that as the battle was turning against
HIM he turned TO the commander of one
OF the battaiions and said to him: Major,
where are your men? Post them in such
and such a place. The officer replied:
Sir, to me battalion no longer exists
Just think Ofit-the entire battalion COM
pletely wiped out, and this was only one
of many. There is no doubt about it,
the Government was frightfully beaten.
All the doctors we can spare are ashore
working in the hospitals. One sent
ashore yesterday went up to the battle
field and worked over the wounded there.
Fifteen hundred were brought in last
night"
1t was after this letter, telling of the
Baltimore's surgeons work of humanity
for the wounded children had been
mailed, that portion of the Baltimore's
crew were frightfully maltreated in the
streets of Valparaiso. Mr.. Wells was the
officer in charge of the boats that landed

and marines during the disorder follow

WHAT 1T MEANS.
SENATOR SHERMAN INTERVIEWED
ON THE RESULT IN OHIO.
He Says the Silver Question VIII be
One of the Leading Issues of
the Next Campaign.
Special 10 the REcoRD-UN1oS.

CLEVELAND Ohio, Nov. 6.-The cor
respondent Of the Leader at Mansfield
sends an interview with Senator Sher-
man on the recent election In answer
to a question as to what effect the result
in Ohio would have upon the election
next year, the Senator said 'sIn the first
place. SO far as the Republican party is
concerned, the result in Ohio fixes the
silver question as one of the issues of the
next Presidential contest and decides it
so far as this State is concerned. I am
convinced a free coinage bill will be
passed by the Congress which assemblies
in December. | also believe such a bill
will be vetoed by President Harrison.
That will naturally make free silver the
feature of the next Presidential fight. In
fact, 1t will be the leading issue upon
which there are vast differences of opin-
ion in both parties. It is exactly like the
tariff. Local conditions and interests
govern sentiment and action. I doubt
very much whether the Democrats in
National Convention will proclaim for
free coinage. If they should, there will
be no other issue of significance in the
next campaign. The financial battle that
we fought in Ohio will then be trans
ferred TO the nation, and contest such as
we have never seen will be the result
The tariff will be a prominent but not the
vital point of contest"

thing in sight ?" was asked.
mot by any means," said Mr. Sher-
man. ''Its principles in the main are
correct. Protection is a relative term.
with many degrees. What pleases one
section or interest excites another, and it
is extremely difficult to make measure
that will be acceptable alike to the con-
sumner, the producer or the manufacturer
The tariff question is practically settled
for the time being, but it will always be
a source of agitation as long as govern
ment lasts. During the next session of
Congress it can hardly be considered, but
in the next campaign it will be a leading
issue with the silver question, just as it
has been in Ohio this year.
81 am not at all disturbed as to the re-
suit in New York. In my mind it sim
ply indicates the fact that Mr.. Platt's
power lies in the great city and that the
country districts are getting little tired
of the intrigues of the metropolis and
wanted to make the fact manifest. 1
don't think it will have any bearing
whatever upon the neXt.Presidential con-
test, and it will be a warning to many
that at least more than one man shall be
consulted in party organiZations.''

THE WOODBRIDGE CANAL
Important Irrigation Project Com.
pleted Near stockton.

Important 1rrlgaUlOn HrO1GCt COM
pleted Near stockton.
San Joaquin County is going to have a
holiday next week Thursday. The occa-
sion is the opening of the Woodbridge
irrigation canal, a stock company enter
prise that was begun about four years
ago. 1t is great event, for it means that
hereafter about 100000 acres of rich sedi-
ment soil can be fioodedIwith water at any
time of the year, and with water such
soil will produce anything.
The celebration will occur at Wood
bridge, about eighteen miles north of
Stockton, on the Moxelumne River, and
three miles west of Lodi The place used
to be the head of navigation on the Mo-
kelumne, and when the mountain washes
of that river were yielding gold Wood
bridge was a trading center for q large
mining population. The decadence of
mining, and the construction of the rail
road three miles away, combined to
shelve Woodbridge, and Lodi, or the
railroad, became the town of the vicinity.
The opening Of the big canal may bring
back some of the lost business, for the
enterprise is q great one and there is
every indication of its doing good work
for large section of country.
A crowd of Stockton people will attend
the celebration, and numbers are going
is largely through the enterprise of San
Franciscans that the project has been
pushed to successful completion. w. II.
Mills of San Francisco is to deliver the
oration of the occasion. a big tent.
owned by circus company that has gone
into winter quarters at Stockton, is to be
set up, and in this banquet or barbecue
lunch viii be served. The chief event of
all the programme will be the formal
opening of the head gates of the canal.
The entire day will be given up to jubi-
lantfestivity.
The canal is one of the largest and
longest, with as exhaustless water sup
ply as any ever built in the State. 1t is
forty-eight miles long. with an average
width of ninety feet and average depth of
six feet. The course of the canal is such
that nearly all the territory between
Woodbridge and Stockton can be watered
by it. Already many lateral bitches, from
ten to thirty feet wide, and aggregating
fully ninety miles in length, have been
built. The work has cost about S150, GOO.
Only white labor has been employed in
digging the big ditch, and nearly all this
money has been paid out to men who live
in that locality.

CORK ELECTION.
The McCarthyfte Candidate Believed to
Have Been Successful.

The McCarthyite Candidate Believed to
Have Been Successful.
CORK, Nov. 6.-An election was held
to-day for successor in Parliament to
the late Charles Stewart Parnell, who
represented Cork City in the Commons.
The Parnellite candidate is John Z. Red
mond, and Martin Flavin, a butter mer-
chant of this city, is the McCarthyite can
didate. The influence of the priests is
with the McCarthyites. They have made
a house-to-house canvass Of voters, fol-
lowing Immediately after the Parnellite
canvassers, and threatening the electors
with all sorts of horrible things if they
vote for Redmond or failed to vote for
Flavln. In order to avoid possible dis
order the polls this morning were strong
ly guarded by the police. Many priests
were stationed about the booths mingling
with the voters and giving them final in
StructlonS and admonltlonS, or making
final appeals before they entered the poll
ing booths.
In addition to the precautions taken by
the police authorities, the whole garrison
OF Cork and of the adjacent Notifications
were confined to their barracks and there
held under arms. The troops will re-
mann until all possibility of serious riot
ing has vanished.
Al the close of the polling Nh. Flavin
was credited with victory. The count
ing of ballots commences in the morn
ing. The polling was heavy. There
were many alterations between priests
and Parnellites. The women in most
cases sided with the priests. William
OBrien received an ovation from the
women, who presented him with flowers
and even divested themselves of their
shawls for him to walk upon.
The, supporters of Flavin claim ma
Jority of 200 for him, while the Parnell-
ties believe they have carried the election
by 100 majority.

BOSTON, Nov. 6.-Comptroller of the
Currency Lacey, who arrived from
Washington this morning, spent nearly
the entire day at the Maverick Bank. In
an interview this evening he said: 1.-THE
feeling all along the line, and among the
members of the Boston CIearing-h house,
IS that the affairs of the Maverick Bank
are IN very much better condition than is
apparently generally supposed. A lead
ing financier of Boston told me to-day
that he thought the Indebtedness of the
bank would be redeemed at par. Not
one gentlemen in position to know about
its affairs but does not admit that it will

Lacey further said: ST want it dis
tinctly understood that there is not, and
never has been, a single point of issue
between Mr.. Magruder and myself. 1t is
true, he furnished me with a complete
photograph OF the condition of the bank

the bank perfectly solvent. Confidence

SANTIAGO, Nov. 6.-Newspapers here

wild stories about conspiracy among
the refugees at the American Legation to
kill General Canto. A notice was circu-
lated to-day calling for meeting in the
plaza TO denounce the conspiracy. Egan.
United States Minister, Informed the
Junta that threats had been made to at
tack the United States Legation and cap
ture the refugees, and warned the Junta
that it would be held responsible for such
acts.
Later in the day several thousand men
assembled on the Plaza and applauded
several incendiary speeches, in which the
supposed conspiracy and the United
States Legation were denounced. The
Junta, upon receiving Egan's letter, sent
a troop of cavalry to guard the United
States Legation. and, as the meeting in
the Plaza had closed, the Intendente pub
hshed notice saying that the stories of a
conspiracy were devoid of foundation.
Serious trouble was doubtless averted by

1ne Po1ce Not Satisfied That It Was

CHICAGO, Nov. 6.-The post-mortem
examination on the body Of Fannie Cart
wright, the actress who met a mysterious
death in the railroad yard in this city, to-
day utterly failed to show any wounds
except those inflicted by the train. De-
velopment in the case tonight make it
more complicated. The police apparently
have not abandoned the murder theory,
and tonight placed under arrest a young
man named John Beatty. His name was
furnished the police by the dead woman's
slster-ln-law, who asserted that Faunie
spent Tuesday night with her, and other
friends dropped in.
After drinking beer together until mid
night, Fanny left, and Beatty accom-
panied her. The two were considerably
under the influence of liquor when they
left the house, and whether they wan
dered down into the railway yards, where
she was run over accidentally, and Beatty
conceived the foolish notion of denying
knowledge of it, or whether there can be
possibly dark crime beneath the whole
affair, remains for the officers to show.
The general appearance of the case makes
the hrSt proposition more reasonable.

LONDON, Nov. Ga ST. Petersburg
correspondent of the Times telegraphs
that he learns from the best
sources that heavy export tax
will be imposed on wheat, probably
three weeks hence. All the Ministers ex-

still possible. The long warming given
exporters will result in an active trade IN
the meantime.
Vishnegeradsky is seeking to redeem
quarter OF the Russian loan in Paris, so
as to save it from complete failure. This
fact explains the recent drop in Russian
securities in Paris. Mr.. Dreyfus, MEM
