The revolution in Brazil is the main
factor in the higher price of coffee. -
About two-thirds of the amount consum-
ed in the United States comes from that
country. The average Brazilian crop
is about 1000 0,000 sacks. Last year 5
crop was about $50, 600, 900 sacks. We
had left over from last years crop about
BOG. 600 sacks. 1t is thus apparent that
there is natural shortage, which of it.
self would have made an appreclable diff
ference in the quotations. Blu. the Sc
rious phase Of the situation is the result
of the revolution. The Brazilian ports
are all closed, and although the import
ers have made the usual purchases they
are unable to ship the goods. No ship
ments have been made from Rio for
months, and it is only a few days ago
that movements commenced from the in
terror. Prices are now several cents
higher than last year, and the prospects
are that they will go a cent higher. The
importers arc anxiously watching the
revolution, and there are fears of a coffee
famine If it is not soon terminated. In
view Of these facts, and the threat of the
Democrats to impose duty for reve-
nue. only" on coffee. 1t looks as though
the era of cheap coffee has gone by.

new county seat have no ssch mersenary
motives. They believe the location

ing. aud hence the proper place for the
county seat No one man or set of men
have a monopoly Of its land No citi-
gen Of the vii age owns as many as three
building sites aud these can be bought for
a triHiRg price, nor is there any effort
being made to boom its lands up TO tic-
sitious vaiues. Tke Inhabitants are Of
fering every indu cement to people to

mess and nothing more. Mr. G. c.

monopoly Of the land there. and pur-

but 1t Is Supposed That They
Will (iO to Rio.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 2l.-The navy de.
partment has ordered the cruiser New
York and monitor Miantonomah to get
ready for sea. 1t is supposed they are
to proceed to Rio, but the navy depart
ment declines to give any definite infor.
nation on this point. 1t will require a
week to put the Miantonomah in condi.
tion for sea. The New York was dry
locked today. The ordering of the San
Francisco to Rio. with Admiral Benham
on board. puts that officer in command
OF the United States naval force there.
Secretary Herbert said in reply to
query that this was not to be construed
as decision of the Stanton case. and
the order was not intended to bear on
that case, but that the decision in the
Stanton case would very soon be given
to the public.
Gresham was asked whether it was
the intention of the United States to
open. if possible. the blockade of the
Rio harbor in the interest of American
commerce. The only reply he would
consent to make was that he did not IN.
derstand that Rio was a blockaded port.
In other quarters the reported intention
OF the United States to interfere should
Mello attempt to blockade Rio is dis.
credited.

Anything but Death,

CHICAGO. Dec. o1.--The defense in the
Prendergast case will rely on the fact
that the jury was allowed to separate to
vote yesterday, which will give good
ground for new trial if the case goes
against him. Further testimony was in
troduced today to show that the prisoner
is insane. The counsel for the defense
created sensation by announcing that
any verdict short of hanging would be
accepted. The family is willing that the
jury should return verdict of impris-
onment for life or confinement in a mad
house, but would appeal from death
verdict.
