Ths People OF Rio Grande do Sui Are .
tbft for War.

MoSTEvIpEo. Nov. 5S--Nothing is
now heard of the peace party at Porto
Allegro. 1t vanished with the booming
Of the guns Of Fonseca's feet in the at
tack on the forts on Patos bay. Rio
grande do Sui is not only for war on
its own account, but the junta means
to re-establish democratic rule In Bra
zil. A trial of strength on the battle.
field now seems inevitable.
The effect Of Gen. Ossirio's address to
his soldiers Upon taking command Of
the army has produced marked i'm.
preston. He told his men that he
would lead them to the attack upon
Rio de Janeiro; that the dictator's
policy was to bring about the restora-
tion OF the empire and restore class dis
tinction, abolish the right Of suffrage
and again saddle the nation with use
less royalty.
The latest advices by wire from Rio
show that Fonseca Is mot idle, despite the
formidable opposition which his IS
sumption of power has developed
Just row the objective point of the
military movement for the subsection
of Rio Grande do Sui seems to be Des-
terro, the capital of Santa Catharina,
the little state which lies just north Of
the seat of revolt Fonseca has dis
patched force to Barbosa. to the
south of Desterro. II is not known
that this detachment has effeeted .
landing. But the purpose evidently ID
to move from that port to the capital OF
Santa Catharina- Using this city as q
base of operations the dictator will pre-
pare to move upon the rebellious state
to the south.
1t is claimed that the allegiance of
the navy to Fonseca is becoming more
and more doubtful, and that the dicta-
tor himself Is alarmed by the evidence
of lukewarmness on the part OF his
naval commanders He dare not re-
move any of them for fear Of arousing q
general mutiny, and, on the other hand,
the Rio Grande junta is known to have
received secret assurances of naval sup
port and sympathy, which is one rea-
son that accounts for the -boldness Of
its attitude.
On the 21st inst the dictator issued
a proclamation in which he names Feb
ruary 90 next as the day for the hold
ing of the general elections, and sum-
mons congress to assemble on May s.
The president adds that requirements
Of the constitution amended to secure
an independent judiciary, Is to provide
safeguards for upholding the presi-
Dental vote, limiting the prerogatives
of congress, enlarging the powers OF
the executive and reducing representa-
ton. The president insists that exist
ing decorations and distinctions will be
respected.

unoccupied. The industrial back wardness of the sunny South might be explained by the lack of that climatic stimulus which has somehow become an indispensable con dition of our fur-clad civilization, but an almost unreasonable circumstance is the fact that the American Italy should so long have been neglected by pleas ure-seekers as we'll as by manufactur- CTS and land speeulators. From scenic point of view the forest-clad Alleghe- nies are unquestionably superior to the treeless Apenines and the dust shrouded Sierras of old Spain, and the wild, picturesque grandeur of the river gorges of Western North Caro- lima and Eastern Tennessee equals that of the Alpine highland glens and the Mexican Cordilleras. The Val de 1icino, with it's towering cliffs and pine-crowned precipices, may have no rivals in the mountains of Europe, but is fully matched by the upper valley of the iliawassee river tnow travcrsed by a branch of the Marietta and Northern Georgia railroad), and the game re- sources of the Tennessee Unakas are are not surpassed anywhere in the tourist haunted Alps.
