THE NEWS VIA LONDON.

LONDON, Nov. lS.-News has been
received here from Madrid to the
effect that Admiral De Mello has
proclaimed Prince Pedro Emperor
of Brazil.
A denial of the report is anxious
ly expected. The news, however,
is generally accepted as being cor
rect, as it comes here from other
sources in addition to the
dispatch from Madrid. The EX-
change Telegraph company says
"After Admiral De Nellie
had proclaimed Prince Pedro as
Emperor, he put to sea, with sew
eral of his ships, in order to inter
cept President PeiXOtO's new trans
ports, which are conveying supplies
Of men, ammunition, and provi-
sions to the existing government
at Rio de Janeiro. 1t is not believ-
ed, however, the Insurgent Ad-
miral is certain of intercepting the
tran sports, as points of debarka-
ton of the munitions Of war
is believed to have been
kept secret. Dispatches from Lis
bon received here this afternoon,
says the news of the proclamation
of Prince Pedro as Emperor of
Brazil, is not yet confirmed, but
the report is generally believed
at Lisbon, inI view of Ad-
miral Mello's known strong
monarchistic tendency. a letter
just received here by a prominent
London merchant says: "If De
Mello is beaten it will be heavy
blow to the British prestige,
PeiXotO is mad with rage
against foreigners, and especial
Iy against the British. De Mello
is inclined precisely the other way,
and constant friendly cOmmunica-
lions are going on between the
French, Italian and British war
ships, and Admiral De Mello,while

manders hold alOOf."

First Rice Elevator in the World.

First Rice Elevator in the World.
NEW ORLEANS, La, Nov. 49,
The National Rice Manufacturing
company, of this city, has just
completed the erection of the first
rice elevator in the world. The
few trials so far given it have
proved the success of the eX-
pertinent, and other ele-
vators will be erected, both
at New Orleans and other prin-
cipal rice points in this country.
The effect will be to revOlutiOnize
the rice trade. Under the old sys-
tenn the cost handling and selling
the cereal was very great, besides
the inconvenience of sending out
samples of each shipment, and the
impossibility of concentrating
shipments, owing to the difference
in grades. In the new elevator
system the rice is brought in car
lots, dumped into the elevator, is
cleaned, weighed and autOmatical-
ly assorted into one of six grades
by delicate machinery, and is then
loaded into sacks, which are de-
livered on the warehouse floor
ready for the market. Outside OF
the saving in the handling, the es-
Enlistment of grades will facili-
tate and systematic the sales, do
ing away with delay, cost and in
convenience, and establishing the
rice industry on the same basis as
wheat and other cereals. The opin-
ion of the rice men heretofore has
always been that it was impossible
to grade rice.

CALIFORNIA; GOLD PRODUCT
Fabulous Contributions From a Sim
gle State to the Wealth of the
World.
New York Herald.

New York Herald.
Expert miners and prospectors
predict that the new South African
gold fields, of which the wonder
full city of Johannisberg is the
commercial centre, will, when full
ly developed, prove to be the
richest ever discovered. The char
acter and extent of the deposit in
that territory certainly warrant
the expectation that further opera
tions will place it among the most
famous mining regions in history,
it's output already exceeding that
of any other, district of similar
geographical area with the single
exception of California.
1t is to California, indeed, that
historians must turn for the STAN
tard with which to ascertain the
comparative richness of all other
gold fields. The record of that state
in the yield of the precious metal,
stands without parallel in the his
tory of mankind. No other territory
ever developed gold deposits so eX-
DtuSlNc Z, 81 IIIIs vi 81 NliN'i
nor has any ever witnessed profita-
BILE mining operations, extending
over such long periods of time.
The gold produced in California
since 1850 exceeds 81, 100000, and
the yield at present amounts to
about $13,OOO,OOO year, or perhaps
100000 more than that of any
other state. The output has de-
creased somewhat in recent years,
but the decline is due, not to any
general exhaustion of the territory,
but to the suspension Of the hy-
draulic mines, which of themselves
turned out some SlO,OOO,OOO annu-
ally.
These figures set a high mark for
boomers of the South African gold
fields. They represent a contribu-
ton to the wealth of the world
never equalled by any similar area
of territory on the face of the earth.
And California, notwithstanding
the diversion of vast sums of her
energy and capital to profitable
mining operations for other miner
ais, is still turning out more than
One-third of all the gold produced
in the United States.

Involves Entrance to New York

lHVOlVeS IuLIduCe W NC" Ohh'
NEW YORK, Nov. 1S.-The New
York. New Haven and Hartford
railroad sounded the note of war a
few weeks ago by giving out or
ders for abOlishing the special
trains of A. A. McLeod'S New Eng
land company out Of the Grand
Central station on and after to-
morrow, when the new schedule
goes into effect. The blow is some
what softened by giving the New
England company some through
cars on the noon train
and the three o'clock train,
or as President Clark Of
the New Haven road explains it,
"half train" at each of these
times. But they are both made six
hour trains. The o'clock "white
train," which now makes the time
from New York to Boston in five
hours and forty minutes, is thus
really abolished, and the New Eng
land company, with two or three,
or even four cars, will stand no
show against the tiVe-hOur limited
trains by the Shore line. This
means that after many years
the threat that has long
been held over the head of the
New Haven's enemy is to be car
ried out at last, and the New Eng
land road will sooner or later be
shut out of New York for good un-
less it can find some way to build
its own line into this city. For
several weeks the New England
officials have been giving out stor-
les about their proposed new en-
trance into this city, with a pos
sible connection with the Manhat-
tan Elevated railroad.

Referee Agreed for the Corbett-

NEW YORK, Nov. lS.-Represen-

Mitchell had another meeting this
afternoon, and the result was that
referee was agreed upon and
each man received $500 as train
ing expenses. The date of the
fight has been set for January %
of next year, and the incentive is
a $4,000 purse offered by
the DuVal Athletic club, of
Jackonsville, of which Bowden
and Mason, the southern sporting
men, are the prime movers. The
meeting was held in the theatrical
office. Articles, it is stated, were
not signed there, however.
The referee selected is Maxwell
+. Moore, of the New York A. c.,
and he says that he will accept.
1t was further agreed to wager only
$1,000 a side on the result, and the
balance of the 100000, now in
David Blanchard's hands, will be
deposited as forfeit, to go to the
club in the event of either
man failing to appear in the ring.
An agreement to this effect was
signed by both defendants. Nit
chell will go on the road for the
next four weeks, but will do some
training in light way. He will be
quartered a few miles from the
battle ground when he starts in to
do serious work. Corbett will finish
training in Florida.
Brady wagered $1,000 with Nit,
chell today that the latter will not
enter the ring with COrbett, and
that if the contest is stopped Nit,
