Rio DE JANEIRo, Nov Sit is officially
announced that the president has convened
the nation to elect new representatives, at
a date to be determined later The federal
capital (I2io de Janeiro) and the town of
Nictheroy (or Praia Grande), five miles
east of the capital, have been declared to
be in a state of siege for two
months. The president has been provoked
to take these steps by the proceedings of
congress and by the efforts of the promoters
of restoration to overturn the republican
institutions. The president in his manifesto
issued to the nation declares himself to
have been fully justified in taking the steps
resorted to. The army and navy support the
government, and public tranquility, accord
ing to this official announcement, is perfect
throughout the states. In conclusion it is said
that the government Is ready to maintain
order by every means; that the constitution
will be respected and that the government
will also be an4werable for all national en-
gagements. The governors of all the lead
ing provinces have congratulated President
Da Fonseca upon his success in main

A Cause in Iowa.

CHICAGO, Ill, Nov. 5.-The Railway
Age and Northwestern Railroader in its
issue of tomorrow will make a statement
concerning the work of the railways in
the Iowa election. 1t refers to employees
only and asserts that the Railway Employees
Club of Iowa did good work in the political
campaign in that state. 1t further says:
1.-The movement will not be checked by
any such campaign outcry as has been
raised against it in Iowa. That cutlery is
only an evidence that the organization has
such elements of strength as to make politi-
clans fear it, and it will make itself heard,
not in Iowa alone, but in every Western
state. 1t has no party preference,
it only hates anti railroad
demagogues. 1t claims that the most
conspicuously Objectionable anti-railroad
demagosue aspiring to election this year
was Republican, and it appears from the
returns that the employees understood this.
In Minnesota the club is credited with hav-
ing materially assisted in electing some
Republican state officials, but in all states
the men who are more likely hereafter to
feel the weight OF the employees opposition
are members or the third party

SAN ANTONIO, TN, Nov. 5.-A letter
from Rio Grande City. Tex, says: An ex-
animation of the poll lists shows that Juan
Bazan and Jose Angelo Vera voted in This
county N the last election. These are Two
OF the men shot ON the Mexican side Of the
river as suspected revulutiouiSts Their
execution was ordered by Brighter. L.
renza Garcia, commanding the military de-
partment of TamaulipaS- The men were
American citizens. There is no doubt OF IT,
Vera was one of the most successful
smugglers of this region, and he WAS of the
most daring character. Despite the fact
that the Mexican soldiers Were securing
the country, he crossed into Mexico III pur-
very small loss.
Juan Bazan was 4 reputable citizen of
family, financially responsible. well liked
ana perfectly harmless. He WIS u butcher
by trade and crossed into Mexico TO buy
cattle. He was caught by Garcia's soldiers
and filled with bullets. No one on this side
believes that he had any connection with The
attempted revolution. His brother. Alonzo
Bazan, lieutenant in the Mexican army,
challenged Gen. Garcia, and fed 10 Texas
to save himself from summary court
martial and execution.
Consul Sutton has been here examining
into this case, but left this evening without
making his conclusions public There is al
ways a great deal Of Illegal voting along

Mexican government will doubtless be that
Juan Bazan was not really Il citizen Of

aud that he was willing to make such set
tement when notified of his Indebtedness
TO the state. A number of witnesses tes-
titled for the defendant, all of whom
swore that up to the time of his tax
ing the treasuryship his character was
unImpeachable for honesty and integrity.
During the afternoon ex-senator j. B. Jud-
kins, a member of the joint legisla-
tive investigating committee that ex-
amined the auditors and treasurer's
books in 1884, testified that Woodruff
had all along been overcharged with s65.-
600. He explained that on the first of Octo-
Der of 1884 Woodruff issued that amount
IN cash. giving warrants FROM
the sinking fund, there being
no money in the revenue fund
from which this money should have been
paid. His cross-examination resulted in
showing that the witness thought the books
were in error. The defense will close the
case tomorrow morning, and the argument
will begin in the afternoon.

GALVESTON, TEX, Nov. 5.-Business
circles were startled to-day by the an
nouncement that the large wholesale dry
goods and notion house of Weis Bros. had
failed. The firm this morning executed
deed OF trust to Gus Levy, a prominent
wholesale grocer. The immediate cause
assigned for the failure is the attaching of
the firms bank account in New
York by Boston creditor. Weis

conservative place the assets between
$500 900 and $500, 900. The liabilities, in
Guiding those named in the deed of trust, it
is estimated, will approximate $780,
900. There are three classes of
dreferred creditors; In the first are

In the second class several creditors

B. Clafiin of New York for $4,000 are
named in the third class. The members of
the firm state that the failure comes SO
suddenly and Unexpectedly that no accurate
statement of their condition can be made
at present. The assets consist of the
firms property, large warehouse, stock

senior member of the firm, is president of

PHILADELPHIA. PA, Nov. 5.-Complete
figures from every county in the state
show plurality of 5S,S99 for Grege, Re
publican, for auditor-general; SO, 746
plurality for Morrison, Republican, for
state treasurer The above computation is
made from the official returns in nearly all
counties and unofficial footings in the re-
mainder. While Morrison's plurality is
over 5000 less than that of Gregg's, he car
ried every county that gave a majority
to the head of the ticket with
the exception of Erie county, the home of
Tilden, his Democratic opponent. Erie

Republican maiorities in the rural districts.
In Iowa the prohibition question had much
to do with the result. Prohibitory liquor
laws and prohibitory tariff are making Iowa
Democratic
DO you think the Worlds fair site had
much TO do with the result in New Yorkl''
~ think not. 1t was talked great deal
of by our people, and if it accomplished
much it would have been shown in the vote
in New York city more than other places in
the state; but we got about our usual vote
there. Outside of the cities of New York
and Brooklyn the state OF New York has
for two years been thoroughly canvassed
b. missionaries sent out by the Tariff Re
form club of New York city, ana their
works do follow them. In Massachusetts
the fight was active and offensive against
the Mckinley tariff and the free coinage of
silver ,5a 1t would hard to say waish
of the state seems to be unanimous against
free coinage in both parties, and the cur
rent IS setting heavily against prohioItory
tariff
in New York, while there was good
deal said about the tiger and the fair, the
heavy gains We're made in the country dis
tricts by tariff fighters. In Iowa, as |
said. 1t was tariff and prohibition, and in
Massachusetts it was tariff and silver"
After looking over the field, what ap-
pears 10 be the Democratic chance next
year."
II think it is very good. With good
platform and good candidates we can carry
certainly New York, New Jersey. Rhode
Island and Connecticut and probably Mas
sachusetts in the East, and Indiana and Hi
nois in the West; with Z
good fighting chance for Wiscon-
sin, Michigan, Minnesota and Iowa.
To win we must fight the enemy and not
each other. If we go TO the country on the
issue Of tariff reform alone we will succeed,
because we are thoroughly united on that
question. If we press the issue of free
coinage of silver, in my Judgment, we will
lose every Eastern state and
gain nothing West. We will lose
the presidency, the senate, the house,
free coinage, tariff reform and everything,
and get for our pains 4 force bill. military
usurpation of the ballot bog and the officers
guarded by soldiers while subverting the
local government of the people. Gen.
Grant is credited with saying that the Dem
ocratic party could always be relied upon
to make a fool of itself at the wrong
time ! hope we will break the record at
this time. To do it we must stop fighting
each other and fight the Republican party

President Elected,

VALPARAISO, Nov. 5.-The Liberal electors
met yesterday and elected Admiral George
Monte president of the Republic of Chill
for the next five years. The inauguration
takes place December 26. The institution
OF constitutional government will insure
Il calm discussion of the question at issue
between Chill and the United States.
1t stated that the selection of Admiral
Monte is not only approved by the entire
Liberal party, but that leading members of
the other parties acquiesce in it, believing
that it will tend to consolidate the best in
terests of the country. Admiral Monte was
a most pronounced opponent of the late
President Balmaceda, and upon the break
ing out of the revolution he took command
of the congressional fleet, and it was owing
in great measure to his action that many
other naval officers deserted Balmaceda and
joined the revolutionists. Admiral Monte
is extremely popular with all classes, and
his selection is hailed with much satisfac-
ton on all sides.

Priestly Intimidation.

Singular statements are alleged by the
Parnell leaders as to the intimidation of
voters by the clergy. 1t is said that
an anathema has been threatened
against electors who should dare
to vote the Parneu ticket, that
the men were told to drop the Parnellite
cause under peril of being denied the rites
of the church, and that women were appealed
to by priests to influence their husbands
against the Parnellite cause. 1t is thought
probable that, in the event of an anti-Par-
nellite victory on Friday, Mr. Redmond will
contest the election on the alleged ground
of priestly intimidation and dictation. The
Parnelites claim that but for the priests they
could carry the district with ease, but that
the clergy spare no effort to prejudice the
minds of the people against the cause repre-
scented by Mr. Redmond

The NTaybrick Case.

LONDON, Nov. Sin the court of appeals
to-day argument was resumed in the appeal
of the executors of the will of Mr. May
brick, (whose wife, Florence F. Maybric
was convicted. of causing his death)
against decision sustaining an
insurance company in refusing to
pay $4,000 insurance on his life, the
company holding that the policy was void,
as the testator's death was caused by poison
administered by his heir, Mrs. Maybricl1
Sir Edward Clark, Q. c., the attorney-gen-
eral, on behalf of the defendants, resumed
his argument this morning, saying
that as the law did not permit q wife
or other representative of an insured per-
son who committed suicide 20 recover the
insurance money the law could not allow
person to profit by his or her own
criminal act The master of the
rolls, Lord Esher, in summing up said
he thought the true construction of
the policy was that the money should be
paid to the executors in trust. If that was
done and receipt obtained, the respon-
dents We're not bound to see that the trust
was fulfilled. After further argument
Judgment was reserved.

north OF here, just across the Red river

best of his opponent and thinking
the fight was over, turned to walk away

wound. Stedham fingered until yesterday
evening when he died. His remains We're
brought here at noon to-day, his relatives
intending to ship them to Paris, but the
railroad officials refused to receive them
because they were not accompanied by a
doctors certificate certifying that he did
not die of contagious disease, consequently
they are now lying at the depot. His rela-
tives are very reticent and will not talk

GUTHRIE, o. t, Nov. 5.-Chief Justice
Green rendered very important decision
this afternoon. Some time ago j. C. Nor
ven of Choctaw City was arrested for SELL
ing whisky without n license and was
fined 500 and costs by Probate Judge
Steward of Oklahoma City. In default of
the fine he was sent to jail. The prisoner
was brought before Judge Green on writ
of habeas corpus. He decided that con-
gress having confirmed the Oklahoma stat
ute giving probate judges additional civil
and criminal jurisdiction, these courts
have jurisdiction over all common law
crimes and msdemeapors not of an infa-
nous character. Selling liquor was no
common law offense and hence did not come
under the jurisdiction of the probate court,
therefore the prisoner was discharged

HYPNOTIZED.
Anguish of Parents Over the Career OF a
Son Said to be HypnotIzed.

Son Said to be Hypuotized.
ST. LOUIS. Mo, Nov. 5-According 10
his mothers story, Michael G.. Meyer of
New Orleans, La. is now in St Louis in
the power of Il hypnotist who has secured
control of the boy, and VINO proposes 10
use him as subject in pub
lie hypnotic exhibitions. The story
of two comrades, one of whom, developing
this hypnotic power, has used it in drawing
his weaker companions away from home
and family TO be made medium for a street
fakir's catch-penny show of the unknown
force of animal magnetism
The story told by the mother came TO
Chief Harrigan this morning in the shape
of letter signed by the mother and father
of young Meyer and written from TChOupi-
toulas street, New Orleans, under date Of
November l. The letter asks for the
capture of Michael G.. Meyer, who
left home on the night of October -,
and who is now thought TO be in ST. Louis.
The parents state that their son was en-
ticed away from home by man who used
to room with them, and that both the men
are shoemakers by trade and may be found
working i'll some shoe factory in this city.
Then the following startling announcement
is made:
This man who coaxed my son away
from home is also 4 mesmerist, and took
my boy to st. Louis to make money on him
by mesmerizing him before 4 lot of people
at - cents admission, which he has done 10
other boys already in St. Louis. ~
The alleged mesmerist's name IS given rs
George Elderfield, it being stated that he
also goes by the name of EIlarl or Ellis.
He is described of dark complexion, with
steel-eray eye, mark like small lump on
one side of his chin, and with brown mus
tache The son is graphically described
as having light red hair and light
blue eyes with poch-mark in
the center of his forehead and one on the
side of his cheek. The mother entreats the
chief of police to do all he can to locate the
couple and send the boy back with some
friendly freight-car conductor" She says
that when the mesmerisJ shoemaker ever
gets to mesmerizing my son, which
he could not do in St. Louis,
he will have full control OF him, aS my son
is an innocent sort of a boy and is easily
led' The letter concludes touchingly as
follows: please do your best while we
pray at home for your success for grief
stricken family" and is signed by Gus
Meyer, the father, and Josephine Meyer,
the mother of the hypnotized truant. The
police will try and locate the couple.

God Save Ireland"

CORK, Nov. 5.-Late tonight crowd of
Parnellites attacked body of McCarthyites
parading here and singing God Save
Ireland.'' The McCarthyites fled
to z bridge, where they turned
and faced their pursuers. Each side
showered missiles upon the other, but
eventually the Parnellites captured the
bridge. About the same time detachment
of police arrived, and after some difficulty
they succeeded in dispensing the rioters.
Many persons were cut with stones.
