SAN FRANCIsCo, Nov. III. c. Stubbs.
Third Vice-Presidento Of the Southern Pa
citic Company, says as follows in refer
ence to dispatches from st. Louis to the
effect that the TranscontinenIal Associa-
ton has refused to grant the $50 rate.
should the national political conventions
be held here:
''Our guarantee for a $50 rate holds
good. That dispatch simply means that
several members of the association have
voted against the proposition as submit
ted by wire without further explanation
than the fare proposition contained. 1t
is a rule with railroad companies, as
with all prudent business men when in
doubt about q proposition and denied a
reasonable time for consideration, to
withhold assent if for no other reason
than to secure proper consideration of the
subject.
Several months will necessarily inter
vene between the announcement of
place where the conventions viii convene
and the day OF assembling. In that time
n great deal of work can be done in the
matter of influencing the lines concerned
to give US the desired rate. Enough COM
panies TO make sure of the result have al
ready expressed themselves definitely on
the subject. Meantime we have the
guarantee of the Southern Pacific and
Union Pacific, which is sufficient for
all present purposes"

TIE NEWS CONFIRMED

New YORK., Nov. 1.-THE news con-
tained in the above dispatches finds some
thing of confirmation in business dis
patches received yesterday in New York
by William +. Heck. an export merchant.
The last mail from Rio Janeiro brought
large order for goods from one of his larg-
est customers in Rio. In view ofthe alarm
ing news since the steamer sailed, Mr..
Peck thought it advisable to cable before
filling the order. The cable company re-
fused to accept the cipher dispatch, say
ing they could not guarantee its delivery.
He was compelled to cable in English.
and yesterday received an answer, also
IN English, saying simply Cancel all
orders" This shows clearly that the
Braziiians are not allowing the use of the
cipher, and Mr.. Peck declares that in
view of the circumstances nothing could
be more significant than the terse reply
of the customer.

LONDON, Nov. 1.-THE Exchange Tole-

tional news from Rio de Janeiro. No
explanation is given as to how the news
was allowed to be cabled, and as it ia
known that the Government has taken
complete control Of the cables, dispatches
are not accepted here as certain to be ac-
curatC.
The Exchange Company's adyices re-
port complete prostEation of the postal
service. 1t is supposed that this refers to
the general postal service of the republic.
though il may mean that of the capital.
At the same time the Government has
put stop to the transmission of all press
dispatches from the telegraph lines to the
various cities Of the country. This step
IS interpreted as meaning opposition to
the dlctator's rule growing in the pro-
YIncial centers.
IN Rio Janeiro it is declared that
practical state of siege exists The city is
I'D the hands of and at the mercy of the
dictatOr's soldiers. The most STRINGENT
measures have been adopted to prevent
disorder or an organized opposition to
the present regime. If the report proves
TO be founded on fact, it would seem clear
InaC 4 very large element IN the capital is
opposed to dictatorship, and only pre-
vented by the strong arm of the military
from asserting itself. AS all the papers
which refused to support the dictator
have been suppressed, the opposition has
no public mouthpiece.
The news received at Rio Janeiro. ac-
coLding to the Exchange Telegraph Conn
pany's adviceS, from the State of Rio
Grande Go Sui is OF an important char
acter. The dispatches report the forces of
the party Of secession already III the field,
and marching to meet the army of the
central Government. The armies are not
lar separated, and a decisive battle NAV
be expected within short period. Prey
louS adyIceS declare the army OF the Sc
ceders to be $4,000 strong in number
How numerous the dictator's forces are
is not known.
The Exchange Company's advices also
give sensational news from Para. 1t is
asserted that the principal navy and mill
Para, after discussion, decided in favor of
a declaration of independence from the
Brazilian Union by that State. This
movement in Para in favor of secession is
considered so formidable at the capitol,
according to the Exchange Company's
dispatch, that it is believed the Govern
ment of the dictator viii be unable to
| cope with it. With two of the most inn
portant States in the Union, one at the
extreme south and the other on the
Amazon, in secession and with threaten
ing dissatisfaction in other States, and
with even her capital in a state Of siege,

Tried to Palm or the Baby.

Early last evening a woman by the
name Of Mamie johnson, residing in the
vicinity OF Eleventh street, took her
year-and -a-half-old baby and walked out
McColloch street, where she left it on
the porch connected with the residence
of Mr.. Fadis, she claiming that he was
the father Of the baby and that
she was unable to support the
child. The baby was discovered craw-
ling about on the porch by the Fadis'
family little later, and suspecting from
whom it came, refused to have anything
to do with it. The johnson woman re-
fused to take it back, saying he was the
father Of it. and he ought to support it.
Finally affairs reached a point where
officer Daum was ordered to arrest the
Johnson woman, and she was taken to
police headquarters. Upon being
threatened with confinement along
with the child, she finally agreed to
take the child back, and she was allow
ed to 60 home. The affair created
quite rumpus for awhile.
