Net long since the head of the navy,
Admiral WandenkOlk. instigated IA

facts indicate that the cause of the

content prevailing certain States of the

forded to some restless spirits IN the
navy, the immediate cause of the out
break is unknown. The navy, 1t is
claimed. is not united against PeiXOto,

the outbreak was begun by Admiral
Melo about the 23d of August. The

like to know in what respect Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is better than any
other. We will tell you. When this
remedy is taken as soon rs a cold has
been contracted. ana before it has become
settled in the system. it will counterfeit
the effect of the cold and greatly lessen
its severity, if not etiectually cure the
cold in two days time, and it is the only
remedy that will do this. 1t acts in per-
feet harmony with nature and aids ma
ture in relieving the lungs. opening the
secretions, liquefying the mucus and
causing its expulsion from the air cells
of the lungs and restoring the system to
a strong and healthy condition. No other
remedy in the market possesses these
remarkable properties. No other will

,IAZANIA.
Vancouver Island. Sept. 20.
THE REVOLUTION IN BRAZIL

Brazil has never been absolutely at
peace since the dethronement of Dom
Pedro. The republic was proclaimed on
the 18th of November, 1889. The po-
changed under the new form of govern
ment, but instead of Provinces, as they
were called under the empire, they ale
now known as States. The govern
ment is federation. and the constitu-
ton is based upon our own fundamental
law. This constitution was adopted on
the 9th of February, 1891. 1t provides
for the election of president and vice
president by the direct suffrage of the
people. \ congress Is composed of Il
senate representing the States and the
federal district, three senators repre-
sentlng each State and three represent
ing the federal district. The other
house is called the chamber of deputies.
The States are self-governing as TO their
local affairs, and may make treaties
with each other. Certain powers
necessary to the preservation of the gem
eral government are denied to the
States. Fonseca was the first ruler of
the republic. and his Office was dicta-
torship. subsequently he was made
provisional president and PeiXoto, the
present president, was the provisional
vice-presdent. There was also pro-
visional cabinet. Fonseca having got
into trouble while he was acting as die
tator, there was some question about the
confirmation of his office after the
election of congress, but the first con-
gress legitimatized all the acts of the
provisional government. which were
necessarily mainly in the form of edicts,
and confirmed the election of Fonseca
and PeiXoto. Something like eighteen
months ago there was an insurrection
against Fonseca, and he resigned. In
doing so he turned over the executive
office of the government to PeiXoto.
While there has been minority in
the congress opposed to PeiXoto's gov
eminent, he has been sustained by a
large majority. Unfortunately for him,
me of the provisional cabinet which
had served under Fonseca became
leader of the minority in congress. Only
one of the old cabinet, Bocayuva. vino
had been provisional secretary of foreign
affairs, remained loyal to PeiXoto. Not
only was the minority OF congress
actively and aggressively hostile to
Peixoto, but there was trouble with the
States, and especially in the State of
Rio Grande do Sui, the principal State
of the southern part of the republic.
The constitution of Brazil. like our own,
permits the interference of federal
troops within State in case of domes-
tic Insurrection. PeiXoto was constant
ly being appealed to by the State
authorities to preserve peace. Domestic
broils were constant. 1t was charged
