The Hon. Edwal II. Cong, United States
Ministerto Brazil, was in Washington from
Saturday to Monday Ell route to his home
in Iowa on leave OF absence. Mr.. Conger
SAYS that the opposition to the reciprocity
treaty among the foreign merchants Of Brazil
is rapidly dyjn9 out and the English and
German importers are noW sending to the
United States for goods in order to secure the
advantage Of the treaty. The increase In
trade had been 50 rapid that the Brazilian
Steamship Company, which formerly sent but
three steam rs a month to Brazil, is now send
tng fourteen. Mr.. Colecr saws that Brazil
will make a splendid exhibit at the Worlds
Fair. He had an interview with the presi-
dent the day before his departure on some
matters Of official business, and the latter took
occasion to say that he felt a great personal
interest in having Brazil properly represented,
and should do everything he could to send a
FIVE exhibit.
Mr.. T. 4. ODER, Commissioner to the West
Indies, reports that the citizens of St. Tho
mas held an enthusiastic meeting, at which
the question of an exhibit from the Danish
West Indies was fully discussed. A commit
tee was chosen to take charge Of the work,
and there is now every reason to expect that
these interesting Islands will be we'll repre-
scented.
Lieutenant Stafford, Worlds fair Commits
sioner to Peru, states that the cabinet have
decided to ask an appropriation of Sl40,O 900
from Congress, which soon meets, for the
Worlds Fair purposes. He also reports that
the Peruvian corporation which assumed the
entire public debt of Peru in return for the
concession Of railways and other public works
in the Republic, will make a fine exhibit.

land" and the Jews shall return to
their sacred city Jerusalem.
The Suez canal opened up a great
high way of travel towards the city
and now a modern railroad has been
completed and American cars ar run
ming from the sea port of Joppa to
Jerusalem.
Ten years ago there were very few
Jews in Jerusalem, now it is esIlmat-
ed that there are from twenty 10
thirty thousand Jews who have
permanently settled there. Another
significant fact pointing to the fulfill
ment of prophecy is that the Ottoman
Empire has been a large borrower
from the great Jew bankers, the
Rothchilds, and the Rothchilds have
secured their loans by taking mort
gage on Jerusalem, and it is said lore
closure will soon be permissible and
necessary in order that the shreWd
bankers may realize on their invest
ments.
In this way it is supposed that
the sacred City of David will
revert to his descendants, and that
the Jews will be enabled to set up an
ecclesiastical government in the city,
from which that nation was driven
with mighty slaughter, nearly 1900
years ago.
In this way the preparation for the
return Of the Jews, as predicted, has
been going on, the last link in the
chain of travel has been completed,
the city is about to go into the pos
session of the Rothschilds, the gospel
has been preached in every land, and
it is said that we only await for "the
times" of Daniel to be fulfilled for the
Inauguration of the universal empire
of peace and Goodness.

THE ATTRACTIONS OF AUSTIN.

Austin, the capital of Texas, has as
many and perhaps more attractions
than any city in the union. Its local
ity is admirable and beautiful, the
range of half dozen rolling hills run
ming parallel and debouching upon
the level plain that skirts the Col
orado river, gives gently rolling emf
nences upon which its private l esi-
dences and public buildings are
erected. This plain, itself half mile
wide, is occupied by the business part
of the city and the Colorado river
curves around it, the city occupying
the outer circumference of the curve.
The residences built upon the hills
exhibit architectural taste, and lawns
and flower gardens abound about
homes of ease, elegance and refine
ment, the residences costing for con-
struction all the way from 81, 900 to
$4,000. The granite capitol sits upon
the apex of the central range
of hills fronting Austin's
Broadway, Congress avenue, the
buildings of the University of Texas
on the same range, half mile in the
rear of the capitol. The eleemosynary
institutions of thes tate are prominent,
overlooking the city that has been
well named by visitors the "Violet
Crowned City of the Hills"
Above the city, along the Colorado,
the abrupt bluffs assume almost the
dignity of mountains and are clothed
and colored with the deep blue of the
Blue Ridge containing in their midst
and on the shore of the lake beautiful
and romatic sites.
Besides the University of Texas
there are numerous educational insti-
tutions, imparting to the city that re-
tinement that learning gives to the old
cathedral cities of England.
The climate is healthful and delight
full. AT this season of the year when
the bleak winds of the middle and
nortnern states drive people in the
afternoon skulking indoors, here
late in the afternoon families
are sitting upon the veran-
das watching the brilliant sunsets
or driving about the city in open CARR
ages without.wraps.
The society here is equal to any of

AND the injunction suit against the
county building the Bouldin bridge
went glimmering as was fully ex-
pected. The judge did not even ask
time to take the question under ad-
visrment, but at once from the bench,
gave his decision on the conclusion of
the argument. What foolish thing
thus to have delayed most neces-
sary work. Out Of the way obstruc-
tionists and let Travis county and
Austin to the front.

The Waco Day is bright and intel
ligent. Its editor keeps up with the
procession, but THE STATESMAN
must insist that on account of that
very intelligence it is harming the
state by continuing the fight after it is
ended. What is the use OF talking
about the bad effects of the alien land
law now? AS soou as possible after i,
was found injurious to the state it was
repealed. Would it not be better to
yield to the solicitations of The Ca
zette and restore that confidence in
Texas investment that the honor OF
the state endorses as secure?

Murdered While Asleep.

Special to The statesman.
SAN ANGELO, Tex. Dec. 3.-Nisano
Rameres, Mexican, was murdered
last night at the Patterson & Will
liams ranch by another Mexican
named Anastorio Comachies. Evil
dence developed at the inquest goes to
prove that Rameres was killed while
asleep. 1t is drought that the deed
was perpetrated to prevent paying
the deceased a small sum of money
that was due him.

The pope has kindly consented to
lend the Columbian Exposition all the
important records and relics of Column
bus now in the Vatican museum and
library at Rome, with the exception
of the originals of the records forming
q part of the history OF the church,
and of these they will prepare us
copies. Mr.. l. G. HerwOod, an
American and wealthy resident of
Rome, has been authorized to make
the selections by the Exposition COM
missioners. He has interested him
self in the history Of the United
States, and is familiar with the records
and relics that would be interesting to
our people. What is it that we will
not see at the great Exposition next
year at Chicago?

THE IMMIGRATION La VS..

There seems to be general demand
for more restrictive immigration laws.
Europe has been dumping so many OF
its poverty and criminal classes into
this country that even our statesmen
are becoming alarmed and intimate
that wholesale laws against immigra.
tion are desirable, going so far as to
advocate the suspension of all kinds
of immigration for ten years.
The latter would be a useless
and cruel law. We have thousands
upon thou sands of uncultivated acres
of land in the United States that need
labor to break their sod and plant
crops to be reaped for the benefit of
hungry humanity all over the world.
We "to the manor born" have not
the exclusive right to this soil. 1t
was meant to be cultivated and to
produce to it's highest capacity, and it
would be a short.sighted and selfish
policy for the people of this coun-
try to build around themselves
a Chinese wall of exclusion condem-
ing the worlds millions to starvation.
AS long as there is room for more, we
have no right to say they shall not
come, and 1t Is not the feeling of the
people of this country that such a
policy should be adopted. BY a large
majority in the last election they
have declared their desire Ior more
intimate and general trade relations
with the outside world and they are
willing to welcome to this country
all honest men even if they are poor,
if they give evidence of self
support and ostensibly will not
through poverty combined with dis
ease become charge upon the elee-
mosynary institutions of the country.
We do not need any other restrictive
laws than we now have on the statute
books. They are full, ample and COM
plete, if they are properly executed.
Those who have no visible means of
support or are physically unable to
secure an honest living are now pro.
hibited from landing in this country.
Then, two, aliens under labor con-
tracts, idiots, insane persons, paupers
and criminals, the diseased or those
afflicted with a contagious disease,
poligamists and immoral woman are
all under the ban of the law.
This seems comprehensive and pro-
tective enough, and tine only difficulty
under which we labor is that the laws
are not strictly enforced.
We need men of vigor and muscle,
men of enterprise and energy, men
of earnest purpose, men who love free
dom and our institutions and it would
be violation of the laws Of nature
and the rights of manhood to make
our emigration laws more restrictive

Mr.. EDWARD ATKINSON, who has
recently visited England, makes a
startling report on the exhaustion of
the coal mines of that country, which
is highly encouraging to manufactur-
ing in this country. He says the in.
crease of cost of coal in England by
reason of the depth of the mines and
the email seams has been for railway
use alone in one year SC, 100000.
He cites the Durham mines where
coal is dug out 1000 feet deep,
and workmen are subjected to a tenn.
perature of 104 degrees Fair, and
even then the veins are only two feet
thick. The price of coke for
steel making is $50 ton,
against S1,4O ton in Nir-
ginia. This condition of affairs
is causing alarm and CONSERVATION in
Great Britain. Coal is necessity Tor
manufacturing, and if it is true that
the coal mines of England are rapidly
being exhausted, this country may
hope for monopoly in the manufac-
ture of many things. Our coal fields
are said to be inexhaustable.

DRIVEN FROM THE CITY.
ALL THE DIsORDELY HOUSES OF
PITTsBURG MUST CLOSE.
Hundreds of Fallen Women Must Seek
Homes Elsewhere, as the Ministerial
Crusade Has Forced the Authorities
to Close up Their Houses.

PITTsBURG, Dec. Never before
in the history of Pittsburg was such a
scene witnessed as was enacted at the
city hall this afternoon. At least $50
inmates of disorderly houses who have
been ordered to leave the city by to-
morrow afternoon gathered in the
mayors office. They were Of all grades
and conditions of their class of society.
AS early as 1870 o'clock women COM
menced passing in the hall. The
scene was a most unusual one and a
large crowd was attracted. The wo-
men insisted upon seeing Mayor Cur

ance wanted to know what they were
to do. Mayor Gurley then made a
speech to them. He said:

Miss Cora Hastings then stepped
up and said: "SOme of these women,
in fact, greater number of them, live
away from here. They have no money
nor friends, and what are they to do?"
"That | do not know" said the
mayor, "but 1 will try and see what
the ministers will do and let you
know by tomorrow afternoon"
The mayor was vigorous and told
them they would have to see Chief
Crown about extending the order.
The women then went to Chief
Browns office, but the chief was out
and they departed. They went down

body, creating deal of attention

THE NICARAGUA CANAL.

THE NICARAGUA CANAL.
The present embarrassed condition
of the Panama canal plays well into
the hands of the company chartered
NV CONGRESS to build the Nicaragua
canal. The Importance of the latter
canal has not been properly appreci-
ated either by the government or the
peopIe of the United States.
English diplomacy has for many
wears prevented the accomplishments
designs that will result in opening up
the oriental wealth of the Pacific
coast TO the trade of our Atlantic
cities. AS soon as the war with Mex
leo was concluded and the United
states acquired its Pacific possessions
il was apparent to the president OF
the United States, James K. Polk,
and to England that a canal across
Nicaragua was of the utmost
importance to American inter-
est and commerce. At that
time an English squadron
was cruising in the Gulf, and it was
ordered to San Juan Del Norte in
Nicaragua and took possession OF it
upon the flimsey excuse that it was
necessary for the protection of the
English colony known as Beige.
The squadron was anchored at the
mouth of the San Juan river, local
ity since known as Graytown, and the
squadron, in obedience to the designs
of England, held the only possible
mouth of any projected canal as that
river would furnish part of the
water way.
TO obviate this obstruction in the
way of the United States several
treaties with Great Britain were pro
posed and discussed, but resulted in
nothing until the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty. That treaty practically
waived our rights under the Monroe
doctrine, and has proved embarrass-
ing to the United States.
Mr.. Arthur caused treaty to be
negotiated which secured to our gov
eminent protectorate over Nicara-
qua and the territory through which
the canal was to run, was to be coded
to the United States.
In May, 1889, company was organ
lied to build the canal and the work
was begun in October of the same
year. Six millions OF dollars have
been expended upon the work, and it
is now the object of the company to
have what is known as the Morgan
bill, to pass congress by which the
ownership and control of the cahal
would be in the hands of the United
States.
The canal will be one hundred and
seventy miles long, and of this dis.
lance only twenty-six and three
quarter miles will have to be
dug out, as Lake Nicaragua, the
river San Jaun and the Lola basin on
the Pacific side will offer deep sailing
waters. The canal will shorten the
distance from the Pacific coast to New
York 10000 miles and open up to our
commerce the most alluvial soil on
earth inhabited by population con-
tigious to the Pacific of 90O,0O0,000 of
people, a commerce so vast that it
staggers figures to attempt to reduce
it to detail. Such are the prospects
presented by canal through Near
aqua that will float ships of the larg-
est tonnage. We want that canal in
our business.

Is the millennium approaching?
Theologians differ as to the prophecy
of Daniel whether his thine, times
and halfn refers to the coming of
Christ or the date of his death. They
only differ about thirty-two years in
regard to the second coming Of Christ,
all agreeing that the time until his
second coming should be measured
from the date of his birth or the date
of death,

sizes seems to point to that
