Of that country must always be matter OF
interest to us, and all the more so now,
since within few years Brazil has taken
the great steps OF overthrowing both sla-
very and monarchy.
Breaks In telegraphic communication
have made IL difficult to know exactly how
far the revolt has spread in the navy. and
exactly what support has been given to 1t

or in the interior. 1t is plain. how

twelve inches OF armor and carrying each

are smaller armorclads. and there are
several little river monitors. Among the
unarmored cruisers Is the Almrante Ia

in 1890. the largest vessel ever built In
South America. having q displacement
Of 4,735 tons. speed OF II knots, and
q powerful battery. The Benjamin Con-
stant Is another modern cruiser OF good
qualities. The Tiradentes was one OF our
visitors at the naval review. The Barrosso.
Trajano, and others might be mentioned.
The personnel last year. including the ma
rine corps aud apprentices. exceeded $500
officers and men.
But it Is by no means certain that the
revolt is general in the navy. Information
received indicates. indeed. that some Of the
likely the naval arsenals and the river gun
boats might not join In movement OF
the cruising fleet On the other hand.
whatever the extent OF the detection
of the fleet. it may become formidable
through striking an alliance with the revo-
lutionists Of Rio Grande do Sui. That State
has population Of perhaps two-thirds OF a
million people. and over one-fourth OF
the number nre from central Europe.
1t has maintained a revolt now for
long time. in spite Of all efforts
Mt conciliation. and its situation makes its
subjugation difficult task. When FoNsE-
CA was overthrown it was thought that
Rio Grande do Sui might give cordial sup
port to his successor. PEIxorO. but the hope
has been disappointed.
Tho people OF the United States will
heartily wish for Brazil aspeedy and happy
issue out OF the series Of political troubles
and revolutions which have beset her so
persstently ever since Dom PEDRO was
overthrown and the republic was set up.

A creditor seldom goes so far as to
seize coffin bout to be carried to the

wagon had just stopped in front of n

German capital with 4 coffin for the
wife of locomotive engineer who
had died. As the coffin was about to
be borne into the house an official of
the court appeared, placed his seal
upon the oaken box, and ordered it

The official had acted on behalf of a
