THE CIGARETTE HART

WAsHIEGroN, Feb l2.-The WAYS and
means committee of the house will be ne
titioned 10 prepare a bill invoking the
paternal condemnation of the govern ment
upon the cigarette ha6it. Representatives
Cochran, Cummings and StahILecker have
in their possession bills, which they have
been petltioned TO introduce. providing
for the suppression of the cigarette manu-
facrure. Accompanying the memorials is
q statement, which says:
Clippings taken from papers through
ont the niteC States show that during
the past year there were about 100 deaths
Of young men, mostly under Is wears of
age, from the effects of smoking napar-
wrapped cigarettes. There has never yer
been a chemist OF any responsibility who
has examined paper-wrapped cigarettes
who has not most decidedly pronounced
them injurious. The internal revenue
tax Is now 30 cents per LOCO on paper
wrapped cigarettes of less than three
pounds weight per 1,000 cigarettes. To
accomplish what the different states have
been and are attempting TO do-to pro
hlblt younS people from smoking paper-
wrapped CiEaretteS--a law should be mass
Ell making { he internal revenue tax SIN
per LEGO on all paper-wrapped imported or
domestic cigarettes sold in this couuf1.v
This would place them at a price that
children could not pay. ana would go fur-
Jher than any state legislation can 90 and
would meet with the approval OF every
man and woman ia the country"

THE BRAZILIAN REVOLT.

LONDON, Feb. f2-Pelotas the scene of
the present revolutionary outbreak in Bra
Zii, is also known as Sac Francisco de
Paula. 1t is situated in the province of
Rio Grande do Sui, twenty miles north
west of Rio Grande. It's population is
only about $500, but it is a point of i'm
portance, as it might be used to command
the sea approaches to the capital. Rio
Grande, or Sac Pedro, is situated IN low
peninsula at the south extremity of the
Lago de Los Patos, and has a population
of about 10000, good port and a large
trade. The population of Porto Allegro is
only 10 900, including that of the suburbs.
1t will be remembered that during the re-
cent revolution in Brazil, which resulted
in the doN nfall of the ex-president and
dictator, Marshal da Foneseca, theprovince
of Rio Grande do Sui headed the revolt
against him and proclaimed its indepen.
dence, adopted flag of its own and was
believed to be determined to secede from
the United States of Brazil and form a
separate republic under the title of Repub-
hca do Sui
Pelotas is said to be in state of open
revolution against the government, and a
bloody battle between the troops and the
populace is reported to have already taken
place, and that there has been considerable
loss of life on both sides. All the tele-
graph wires between Pelotas and Porto
Grande do Sui, 160 miles uorth-northeast
of Rio Grande, at the north end of the
Iago de los PatOs, have been cut and that,
IN consequence, no details as 10 the en-
gagement are procurable.
Later dispatches received here from Bra
Zil say that the province OF Rio Grande do
Sui might again be said to be in state of
open rebellion. Niscomte Pelotas is said
to have been made chief Of the revolution
airy party in that province, and to have
proclaimed Corumba as the capital, depos-
ing Governor Martinbo, the PeiXotto rep
resentative, from power, and placing Dr..
Rocha in his place.
At Santa Car harina, capital of the
province of that name, bordering on the
provinces of Rio Grande do sui and
Parana, there Is also said to be trouble
The governor is reported TO have been, de-
posed and the revolutiouists have the
upper hand. Additional reports have it
that Rio Graude do Sui is once more
gathering her national guardsmen to-
gether, and that the most active prepara-
tions are making TO place the army in the
field before Dictator PeiXotto succeeds in
sending re-enforcements to the south.
Another dispatch SAYS the insurgents
are gaining strength IN different parts of
Brazil. and that Cuyaba, capital of the
province of Matto Crosse, will soon be in
the hands of the insurgent troops. The
rebellion Is said 10 have spread much
further and to have many more supporters
than the PeiXotto authorities are willing
TO admit, and. it Is added, that they are
doing everything possible to conceal the
really grave facts in the case As tie
matter is understood here, the same
charges, 10 all inteuts and purposes. are
made against Dictator Peixotro as were
made against Dictator Da Eonseca.

EAMlNE,S VICTIMS.

LONDON, Feb IA dispatch from
Penza, the capital of the government of
that name, in the southwestern part of
what is known as Great Russia, is pub
lished in the Chronicle today. The dis
patch says that the thermometer registers
5S degrees below zero, and that there is
terrible suffering among the peasants. A
number of men have been frozen to death
on the high roads. A quantity of grain
for the famine sufferers has arrived at
Penza, but it is impossible to distribute it
among the peasants in the surrounding
country owing to the fact that nearly all
the horses have been killed for food or sold
to procure money with which to buy the
necessaries of life. Five thousand horses
have been killed in Penza alone, and it is
reported that several million draught ami
mails have been killed throughout the
empire since autumn. Smallpox and dip
liberia are decimating the inhabitants.
The dispatch adds that in the governments
of Sanfara Saratov and Mini Novgorod
the conditions are far worse than in PenZa.
BOMBAY, Feb l2.-Oficial notice has
been given that famine prevails in this
presidency, and that the famine code will
be applied over an area of 5000 square
miles. in the districts of Nijapur, Bolgaum
and Dharwar. These districts contain a
population of 800, 600 persons.

Many members viii not appear until the
leader in the commons explains the nature
OF the measure on which the government is
expected to appeal % the country Though
ministers decline to satisfy the politicians
who crave to know the gist of the Irish
proposals, the draft of the bin is known to
contain host of clauses, rivaling in com
plexity Mr.. Balfour's land act
A high Informant declares it as, in sub
stance, an application of the English coun-
ty councils act, without adhering strictly
to the exising county areas. With the
view to protect the minority that is the
Conservative strength in the districts
where the National vote is also strong, ar
bltrary electoral boundaries are created.
AS IN England, three-fourths of the mem
Ders OF each council are to be elected by
the fate-payerS, a portion of the rest by
the councillors, and certain number are
to be appointed by the Irish executive.
The councils are to have control of the
local police, excepting the appointment
OF chief constables; the control of licens-
ing; the administration of the poor law,
asylums. industrial schools, and prisons, ex-
cepting state government prisons, and
roads and public works. The imperial
police are to be maintained in lessened
force, As an appendix to the bill is an
other measure, transferring the Irish
private bill business, now heard at West
Minister, to the local councils.
A conference of Irish landlords recently
sent to Mr.. Balfour, through the duke Of
Abercorn, a demand that clerygmen be
excluded from the county boards, the aim
being to deprive the priests of influence

Is increased by a convention of the worlds
fair commissioners, which held a session
at the court room this afternoon. Gov
ernor Seay, being ex-officio chairman of
the Oklahoma worlds fair commission,
opened the meeting and called Hon. Mort
BiXler of Norman to the chair. The re-
ports from the commissioners from the
various counties show that systematic
methods have been adopted in each county
for the collection of the products of the
soil for exhibition; but as yet there is
lack of means for carrying their plans into
execution. Oklahoma will have the honor
of furnishing one of the pillars of native
timber for the forestry building. The next
meeting of the board will be held at King
fisher
Oklahoma enjoys the further distinction
of being represented by the Youngest
member of the national board of com
missiOners. At the last meeting at Chi
cago Mrs. Potter Palmer spoke of Mrs.
Ledru Guthrie as the baby commissioner
from the baby commonwealth. The
vacancy caused by the resignation of
Colonel Miles will be filled in few days.
Professor f. L. HallOck of Guthrie, whose
qualifications for the place and whose
chances are equal to the best, has refused
10 be a candidate for the appointment
not on account OF the greatness of its
1onors, but because of the smalluess of
she pay. Hon. IeGru Guthrie has been
spoken of in connection with the appoint
ment, as well as for the registership of the
Oklahoma land Office 1t is a case of two
offices seeking the same man.
