A Mighty state.


Recent stirring events in Brazil, tho
overthrow OF an old and wei &C tabish
ed government, the foun alton o. re.
public, and the unsuccessful attempt OF
its subvers on, have given 10 this far
away coun r; an interest which other
wise 1t cCn,d never have acquired.

the way, bong rear y 2,700 mics from

east to west, and compr sing with n its
territorial limits about S.20p, 900 square
miles. Great Britain has moro terri tory,
but the dominions of Great Britain a"e
scattered over the globe; the Car has
under his control u greater number OF
squart miles, but they are contained in
two continents; in Brazil alone can q b.
said that I'm one political and geograph'-
cal division is comprised greater extent
OF territory than in any othercountry on

200, 900 SQUIRE miles more of area than
has the United States, or, to use a
familiar EXPRESSION, is rs large as the
United States and one. ha OF Mexico.
1t Is nearly as far from tho most
northern ro!nt in DraZiI to the most
southern as from New ! ork to San Fran
the Arctic circ e. We are accustomed
to think of lrIzil as "A tropical country,
but as a matter OF fact the most north
ern provin of that vast country is al
most as far from the equator as the State
OF Missouri. The coast line is nearly LOCO
mi es in length, and a vessel that would
sail from Cape Grange to the state OF
Sac Pedro do Sui must make voyage
equal in length to that from New York
to Liverpool. 1t is .t1icult TO grasp the
idea OF so enormous IA country, nor is the
difficu ty lessene1 by contemplation OF
the fact that of this Va territory more
than two-thirds are drained by one river

separated by the ! ara River, lies the
flour ishing City OF Tara, the metropolis
OF the Amazon Valley. ara, though
with popu alton OF only 10000, is an
exceedingly important city, since all the
trade OF the Amazon passes through
the hands Of its merchants, and
though its manufactures are nsig-
nificant, its exports are enormo -.

rubber alone amounted TO 30, 600, 900 lbs,

THE PRESIDENTS VISIT.
The Mayor to Select the Committee Of
Amusement.

Arrangement.
A meeting was held yesterday afternoon OF the
committee called by Mayor White to make suit
able arrangements for the reception of President
Harrison and party. The mayor presided and
there were present Rev. G. A. Tewksbury. G. W.
Hall, R. W. Jones. Thomas W. -Prosch, ]. W.
Dodge, Byron Phelps, Colonel Langley and
Secretary Barry.
The mayor suggested that three committees
BE- appointed. on arrangements, finance and
transportation.
Mr.. Prosch suggested that - 90 few people
were present it might be well to defer action be-
yond the committee on programme.
Colonel Langley said it was probable that the
selection OF committee on arrangements was
one that would require some deiiberafion, and
he suggested that it be left to the mayor to do
that 1t his leisure. The committee on trauspor-
tation was also one which should be made
early.
Mr. Jones agreed with the mayor, and moved
that the election OF committees on arrange
ments, finance and transportation be left to the
chair
An informal discussion took place, during
which it was agreed that the mayor should
make the appointments.
Mr.. Jones remarked that suggestions might be
sought on all slices beyond the committees He
thought Seattle should do something which
would attract special attention to it throughout
the country.
The committee adjourned to await the call OF
the chair

MOE BONDED YET.


Lieutenant Wycko1 Has Taken Options
on No Port Orchard Land.
Lieutenant A B. Wyckon, who is to make .
reconnaissance for the selection of 200 acres for
the navy yard At Port Orchard, said yesterday:
"As pet have bonded no land, and am sorry
that contrary statements have appeared in some
OF the newspapers. / may bond land At two or
three points, so that the secretary of
the navy or the chief of the de-
partment of yards and docks can
finally choose. l had hoped that Secretary
Tracy would come out with President Harrison,
but don't see the secretary's name in the list
of the presidential party. II he does not come,
the chief Of the department OF yards and docks
probably win.
81 find that the people around Port Orchard
are not anxious to sell land at the government
price, but anticipate no difficulty over that
point"

HOUSE OF DELEGATES.
Police Force and Rainier Franchis,
Bills POSTPONED.

Bills Postponed.
At the meeting of the house of delegates the
following letter from the mayor was read:
at ID announced that President Harrison, &C
companied by distinguished party, viii visit
Seattle on May 6. His time Is so limited that
he will not be able to make another stcppage of
any duration in the state. In order to give the
authorities OF other cities an opportunity to join
Seattle in offering becoming welcome to the
chief executive, respectfully sugge9t that your
honorable body join me in extending . formal
invitation to the official representatives of other
parts of the state to be present on that occasion.
II you assent to this, it might be well to at once
appoint joint committee on transportation 10
negotiate with the several lines for special rates
for the benefit OF our visitors. The charter for
bids your making any appropriation for ex-
penses. so that your endeavors must be confined
TO obtaining ms favorable rates a. possible
Mr. Hanfcrd moved that the Recommendation
be adopted and the chair appointed Messrs
Hsnford, cowden and Kittinger on behalf of the
house. The aldermen are Miller, Bogardus and
Snyder.
The report OF Treasurer Anies, already pub
lished, wss read and referred to the finance COM
mittee.
.we begin 10 see the benefit OF that ordin-
anee," remarked Mr.. Ship!ey.
The police force question came up on motion
of Mr. shipley that the house recede from in
amendment.
Mr. Willis said IL would be unnecessary, as the
force had that day been reduced. II was no use
raising the question. The council had not re-
duced the force 30 the new chief had done so.
Mr. Shipley and Mr.. Hantord thought the
police board had no more power TO reduce the
force than 20 increase it while the old ordinance
was in force
On Mr.. Willis motion the matter was post
poned q week, in order to give the new arrange
meut trial.
The ordinance granting g franchise TO the
Rainier Electric Company was taken up and read.
Mr. Bagley moved 70 make the ordinance the
special order OF business for next Monday night
Mr. Muldoon said II was certainly getting late
but he thought they might pass il. There were
several people present who were interested. He
asked that resolution passed by a mass meet
ing be read
Mr. Willis said he certainly could not under
stand such long and complicated ordinance
through one hasty reading by the clerk. He
would like 10 look over t.
Mr. Lansing. who has been absent for several
weeks also said he would like TO look over Ii
before he voted
Mr. Barnes thought II had better be printed:
this was case where every member ought 70
understand thoroughly what he was voting
upon.
A gentleman outside Of the bar said they
would prefer, If the ordinance was postponed.
not 10 have the resolutions read at this time.
Ii was resolved TO postpone action until next
Monday night.
