NO NEW s AT BON

LONDON, Nov. 1s-A dispatch to the
exchange Telegraph Company says that
Admiral Mello. after declaring the mon
archy restored, proceeded to sea with his
vessels with the object of intercepting the
Nictheroy or other vessels purchased abroad
| by the Brazilian government for use
against his fleet
| The Westminster Gazette. commenting
upon the report that Prince Pierre d'Al-
cantara has been proclaimed emperor of
Brazil by Admiral Mello. who commands
the rebel Brazilian naval squadron, says
that doubtless Prince Pierre is on board of
Admiral Mello's ship in the bay of Rio
Janeiro.
If the rebels can force a landing and join
the southern insurgents the republic will
end in a 1zzle as inglorious as that of the
monarchy. The chief obstacle to a restora-
ton of the empire is the hatred entertained
by the slave owners for the Countess d'Eu.
The paper adds however. that it does not
believe that the 10000 Germans in the
restoration of the monarchy. nor will the
two million negro Inhabitants The clergy
are doubtless unanimously for a monarchy.
Therefore. the Gazette asks: IF Brazil
sides with Admiral Mello what can the
United States DOR
Continuing, it says that after the Chilean
mess President Cleveland is likely to be
careful. The interests of the United States
in Brazil are commercial not sentimental.
The Globe says: 'It is likely to be a long
time before the monarchy is restored In
Brazil. Admiral Mello and President Peix-
OTTO are well matched and neither is able to
force a decisive conflict"
The paper expresses the belief that the
public favors Admiral Mello.
A special dispatch to the United Press
from Paris says that Count d'Eu. writing
to an intimate friend at Versailles on Thurs
day, said that he did not himself know what
was happening in Brazil. The general tone
of the letter, however. inclined the recipient
to the belief that a restoration of the mon
archy was expected.
The Young Prince Pierre.
Prince Pierre d'Alcantrara is about eight
cen years old. He is five feet. ten inches
tall, and is broad-shouldered and healthy
looking. His face, on which there is no
hair, is a very intelligent one. For three
years he attended the College of Versailles.
and the priests there say he is unpre-
tending fellow who would make a good i'm
preston anywhere.
He has a pronounced taste for natural
sciences, and in July last took the decree
of bachelor of science. He is a splendid shot
and was leader in the college games. He
displayed good powers in organizing paper
chases and bicycle races. he, with a num-
Der of his fellow students. used to go on
long walks. and he introduced on these oc-
casions the custom of using a kodac cam
era. He made a tour of Australia in Sep
tember. The principal of the college de-
scribes him as practical. kind, resolute, ad- |
venturous and modest: He won the affec-
tions of everybody. The Brazilian legation
