LONDON, Nov. 1G.-News from Brazil con-
tinueB to be OF the most conflicting charac-
ter. Official dispatches from Rio de Jan
eiro assert with unequivocal positiveness
that the country is absolutely tranquil,
while kilograms from Buenos Ayres and
Santiago report Brazil torn with discus

probably not be known until mail ndvices
are received. An official censorship pre-
vents dispatches not approved by the gov
ernment reaching Europe direct. and it il
not known how such dispatches roach
Buenos Ayies and Chile. The latest official
advice from Brazil states that the trouble
in Rio Grande do Sui is purely local, and
that the government Of that state is now In
the hands Of a provisional junta. 1t il in
ferred from this that the authorities Mt Rio
regard the junta in sympnthy with the CEN

VIENNA, Nov. 16.-At the meeting of the
budget committee today Count Kalnoky
assured the committse that the emperor's
speech, referred to by Tageblatt, ought to
cause no uneasiness; that, although the
emperor drew attention to the oontradic-
tion between preparations for war and
talk of peace, the government hoped the
problem would find peaceful solution. Re-
ferring to Saturdays panic, he said the
public did not take, a reasonable view of
the situation. One serious word exag-
gerated to serve private ends, was sufficient
to evolve an unwarranted panic. He an
would 90 into operation Feb. l, 1892. The
Tageblatt today, Notwithstanding thedenials

European situation critical, insists that its
report was strictly correct. This report

bonds, fearing the emperor's words pre-
sagcd war. made wild rush to sell, and
the result was q decline not equaled in
many years. The Abend Post, having re-
ceived instructions, from the prime minis
ter. issued a statement declaring that there
is no truth in the Tageblatt's story. The
Tageblatt says the language of the emperor
was drawn forth upon the occasion of an
audience granted TO the president of a
Polish club. 1t reiterates that in
the conversation that then took place the
emperor used words attributed to him by
the Tageblatt on Saturday which. in sub
stance, were that 1.-The famine which now
prevails in Russia has greatly increased the
chances of war"
So confident is the Tageblatt in the relia-
bility and truthfulness of the person who
furnished the information which had such
serious results that Il has asked the public
prosecutor to make close and searching in
vesti0ation as to the truth of the article.
Kalnoky announced that the zollverein
treaties would be discussed by the Austrian
and Hungarian delegations co-iointly.

Probing for bullets was unsuccessful. A
report that Joe Lessard was dying created
the widest excitement on the streets this

Makes His Annual Report--The
Three Big Items Discussed.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1G.--Argumsnt was be-
gun in the United States supreme court to-
day in the anti-lottery cases in which the
constitution of the recent anti-lottery law
10 involved. The suits are those brought
BY the United States against John N. Ra-
pier, publisher OF the Mobile Register. and
Geo. W. Dupree, publisher OF the New Or
leans States, for violation of this law pro-
hibiting the sending through the mail Of
newspapers containing lottery advertise
ments. Counsel had already submitted
briefs giving the line of argument and
these have been published in the press.
The first question came up when Carter, a
well-known New York lawyer, asked the
pleasure Of the court as to the time to be
allowed for argument. The court suggested
three hours for tho lottery people and two
for the government. This was not satisfac-
tory to Carter. who wanted five hours. and
Attorney General Miller said tho United
States and the people had as much interest
in the case as the other side and thought
one side should not have more time thar
the other, though he probably would not
want more than two hours. The court di-
rected the Argument to proceed and il
would, II necessary, extend the time,
Hannie saylor, OF Mobile, then opened ar
gument for Rnpier.
The supreme court to-day granted the
application of writ of certirorai to COM
pei the circuit court for the district en-
bracing the Pacific coast to certify to this
court the case Of q Chinese importer, Ian
Ow Bew. Of Portland, Ore, who was re-
fused admission to the United States after
a brief visit to China. The court. in an
opinion by Chief Justice Fuller, says it will
be seen that the cnse involves the construc-
tion Of the Chinese restriction act and
treaties between the United States and
China. The Chinese restriction act. af
amended, made the Identification OF
Chinese other than laborers, who were en-
tirely excluded. in a mode provided, the
sole evidence of their right to enter the
United States. Manifestly the question in
volved as to how the net should be con-
strued. in view of the treaties, is one OF
gravity and importance and involves Q
matter Of International concern. The case
! it holds, has no connection with tht
| ChiueHS case heratofore decided. and relied
upon TO exclude 13ew, for the reason that ir
that case the man was laborer and not ,
merchant. The court is therefore of opin-
ion that sufficient grounds were shown fo
