CECESSION STORIES DENIED
Gossip Concerning the Deposed Mon
arch, Dom Pedro.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-Senhor Mendon-
ca, the Brazilian minister here, has re-
ceived the following cablegram from the
Brazilian minister of foreign relations:
RIO, Nov H--Affirm that complete tranquil
ity reigns in all the states except Rio Grande,
where conflicts provoked by local politics oc-
CURED, with which, In virtue OF tho constitu-
tion. tho federal government could not inter-
fere. Deny rumors OF secession. as the idea Is
condemned by all Brazilians. Affirm that no
state thinks OF seeding; deny that members
OF the dissolved congress Nxre ia foreign lega-
tions as refugees. Nearly all the members OF
congress returned TO their state; those who re-
main here go about the city at liberty. Thus
far the government has taken no violent
measure. A day will be set for the next cleo
tion, and congress convoked to meet immedi-
ately after. General Deodoro will review the
troops tomorrow.the anniversary of the procla-
nation of the Republic. CLAREMoNT.
As eonfrmatory evidence of the truth of
the statement that the troubles in Rio
Grande are purely internal and have no
bearing on national affairs, Minister
Mendonca says that he has discovered that
the junta in that state is composed of four
persons, instead of three, as at first re-
ported. 1t was at first supposed that
Cassal Ribiero was the name of one of the
number, whereas it appears that two per
sons were referred to, Senior Cassal and
Senior Ribiero. Both Of these men are
prominent Republican leaders in the
state, so that the junta stands three Re
publicans to one Old Liberal The latter
General Rosariol, however, is not be-
lieved to cherish any monarchical prin-
ciples.
The minister has also received private
information to the affect that the length
to which the reported revolutionary move
ment in the state of Para wentwas the adop-
tion by the state assembly of a set of resolu-
tions, condemning the action Of the presi-
Gent and approving the course pursued by
the congress. He also says ironically that
instead Of feeling anxiety for the welfare
of the Brazilian Republic he Is inclined to
sympathize with the unfortunate owners
Of Brazilian bonds in England whose
holdings appear to be the work of unscru-
pulous spe culators

IRISH GOVERNMENT BILL
Likely to BE Abandoned on Account of
the Election at MouItoD

tHo LfeCtfOH HU HOuItOh.
LONDON, Nov. IA noteworthy feature
Of the Moulton election is that, for the first
time since 1886, the Tories and Unionists
of the district were entirely united in the
support of the Conservative candidate.
This makes the latter's defeat all the more
a crushing blow to the party. The defeated
leaders attribute their bad luck to the
fact that the government had practically
announced its intention to devote most of
the next session Of parliament to Irish
matters, TO the neglect of questions affect
ing England. 1t is believed that the re-
suit at Moulton will lead to the abandon
ment of the Irish local government bill.

dro's Past, Present and Future.


PARIS, Nov. lit is said tlss. Dom Pc
dro is being urged on to more activity
relative 10 matters in Brazil by his vari-
Gus connections of the Bourbon and Co
burg houses. The ex-emperor is himself
inclined to be entirely non-committal. 1t
Is said by persons who know him in
timately that he regrets not having made
terms with the Republic In the first place,
when he was offered a magnificent annual
allowance from the Brazilian treasury.
with the sole condition of acquiescence in
the new regime. Dom Pedro is not a
wealthy man. He left Brazil with q COM
paratively small amount of money, and
but for direct pecuniary aid from the pres
ent Queen of Portugal who was touched
by the condition of the deposed monarch,
almost driven insane by the loss of his
wife and throne, he would have suffered
from poverty.
He was afterward permitted by the Fon-
SEGA government to withdraw certain
funds deposited in his own name at Rio.
These were transferred to Lisbon and de
livered TO Dom Pedro. On this amount,
said not to exceed 100000 francs, the ex-
emperor is dependent. His tastes are
simple, and he could live in comfort for a
year on what eX-King Milan of Servia
would spend in a week. Dom Pedro has
an expensive son-in-law in the Count d Eu,
an Orleans Bourbon, who was in clover
during the empire and wants TO be i'm
clover again. He is perpetually urging
the aged emperor 10 recover what the
count calls his inheritence
Ii is even whispered that the count has
not been as kind to his wife as he was
when she had the prospect of throne,
and that this causes Dom Pedro no little
pain. The public message of Dom Pedro
TO the Brazilians is, therefore, chance
shot fired at the instance of his family to
see what it will hit. Outside of the small
coterie of Brazilian imperialists nobody
shows any confidence that il will have a
fav vorable result.

Pay the Printer Promptly.

Persons who patronize papers
should pay promptly, for the pecuni-
airy prospects of the press have a
peculiar power in pushing forward
public prosperity. If the printer
is paid promptly, and his pocket
book kept plethoric by prompt pay
ing patrons, he puts his pen to his
paper in peace, his paragraphs are
more pointed ; he paints his pic
lures of passing events in more
pleasing colors, and the perusal of
his paper is pleasure to the people.
Please paste this piece of proverbial
philosophy in some place where all
persons can perceive it.
