In this dark belfry, where we toll and grope
Toward the dim seen light of life within,
Where barely or with painting breath we win
To shadOwy glimpses of our dream Of hope,
If still ascending by the steepening slope
With this small knowledge of our origin
The what we We're, plus all our sum Of sin,
What need is there TO cast "A horOscOpeI
We are the angels of such destiny
As shall o'eriake US when we leave this place
OF temporary biding, soon or late.
There Is no thought, word, deed, Of such as we,
But molds us unto grace or to disgrace,
Though men are pleased TO call their scape-
goats Fate"

RIO JANEIRo (Brazi), November IA
President elect Moraes arrived today
from Petropols. He was received by a
large concourse of people. He said that
he intends to pursue prudent policy and
expects to prove to all parties that he is
independent of all cliques and of per-
sonal domination. He will try to bring
the revolutionists into harmony with his
administration, having taken steps to
notify their leaders of his good inten-
tons.
He says he means to be President of
all Brazil and to pursue patriotic
course which would commend itself to
impartial people. His cabinet will re-
present all sections of the republic. He
denies that Peixoto will be an element
of discord. Peixoto has been badly mis-
represented to the outside world. DIR.

AMERICAN MEDIATION.


Talk ABOUT the oHeF maze ny the
United states.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-It is stated
here in official circles that Japan has
not yet accepted the invitation of the
United States to submit the question of
peace with China to our mediation.
While the statement is probably literal
ly correct, there is a reason to believe
that Japan has requested, as prelimi-
nary to action upon our invitation, that
she be informed explicitly just what
terms China has to propose as basis of
a treaty of peace. Up to this moment
China has not submitted any definite
proposals, so that the delay appears to
be rather on her part than on Japan. 1t
could not fairly be expected that the
japanese would halt in their trium-
plant march, and perhaps afford their
opponents a very potent opportunity to
rally from their dlsorganized condition.
unless Japan is furnished with some
satisfactory proposition by China that
may be binding beyond question upon
the latter.
No such satisfactory proposition has
yet been made by China. but on the
contrary the Chinese tenders so far
have been on basis that could not be
accepted with safety and consistency by
Japan. For instance, a Chinese propo-
sition was that Korea be evacuated by
both Chinese and japanese troops. In
asmuch as the principle cause of the
war was Japan's contention that the en-
tire Korean Administrative and finan-
cial system must be reformed on mod
ern lines and that Japan must under
take the task, temporary occupation
OF the country at least by Japan was a
necessary condition. And conditioning
that japanese troops evacuate China
Immediately would also violate all
precedent, Tor it is customary in such
cases for the victorious nation to re-
main in possession OF the capture d
territory as a pledge until the payment
of the war indemnity Of $1,000, 600, OOO
had been paid to Germany.
But disregarding these points of diff
ference, it is becoming more evident
that the interference of European pow
ers is a stumbling block in the way of a
settlement of the war through the ne Ii.
tation of the United States, nearly ali
having Interests in the East which they
regard as paramount to our own.
An official who has given much at.
tention to the subject is of the opinion
that Russia will never consent to any
thing which looks like an indefinite oc
cupati m of Corea by Japan unless she
is herself allowed to take possession of a
portion of Corea for the eastern termi.
nus of the Siberian Railway. France is
reported to have demanded a coaling
station on the island of Formosa and
Great Britain has reached out for the
island of Chusan.

might have been so had we been

horses, saddles, harness, everything
used in this war is Japanese.
"Of course, money IS spent, but it

WHAT THEY WILL DO.

The republicans evidently, are
to control the next congress in its
lower branch, with either an abso-
lutte control of the upper house or
the balance of power held by the
populists. People will begin to
speculate as to what course will be
pursued in legislative matters by
the dominant party. 1t is the con-
undrum which Messrs. Russell and
Williams have been asking on the
stump. No one can tell exactly,
what will be done. Certainly Mr..
Reed will be elected speaker, and
an effort will be made to revise our
currency system so as to do away
with the multiplicity of the kinds
of paper money which are now
afioat, and to give all the currency
a permanent coin basis. No tariff
tinkering will be done, An effort
will be made to have both sessions
of congress short, with as little dis
turbance as possible to business in
terests. Arizona and New Mexico
will not be admitted to the Union.
Restrictive laws in regard to immi-
grafton will be passed, and in all
probability Mr.. Cleveland will be
induced to agree to a treaty with
the republic of Hawaii, which will
result in that nation being admitted
into the Union as Territory. The
business interests of the country
will not be harassed or ANNOYED by
the congress whose life begins
March 4, 1895, that is sure

PACIFIC CABLE NEWS.
IMPORTANT TELEGRAM RECEIVED
TODAY.
Tenders Have Been Opened Eight
Routes-To Necker or Fannings
Island, which?

The following very important dis
patch regarding the Pacific cable was
received in San Francisco from Mon
treal on the 10th instant, and was
handed to the STAR by Rev. S. Z.
Bishop, correspondent of the United
Press at Honolulu, today:
OTTAWA, Nov. 10.-Hon. Mackenzie
Bowel assisted by Mr.. Sanford Fleming
and Mr.. w. ii. Mercer, of the Colonial
Office, England, were engaged yester-
day in opening the proposals for the
making, laying and maintenance of the
Pacific cable. The definite proposals
were six in number, as follows:
Francis A. Bowen, London; g
The Telegraph Construction & Main
tenance Company, London; 3-Siemens
Brothers, London; 4-The Fowler War
ing Cable Company, London; 5-W. 7.
Henley Telegraph Works Company,
London; 6-The India Rubber Gutta
Percha & Telegraph Company, of 1906
Cannon street, London. These are the
chief cable manufacturing and con-
struction companies of the world and
their proposals indicate thorough ex
animation of the great project. Their
offers are of the most satisfactory char
acter. They apply to each of the eight
routes proposed, and in each case are
below the estimates made by Sanford
Fleming, and alrea " made public. As
these offers are accompanied by very
elaborate details, which will require to
be examined, carefully compared and
reported on in order to submit fuller
information to the various govern
ments interested, Mr.. Bowel did not
deem it advisable to make the figures at
present.
1t may be surely said, however, that
the proposals are in each case very
much more favorable than was antici-
pated by those who discussed the mat
ter at the recent colonial conference,
and as a whole they completely remove
every obstacle which had been raised
against the feasibility of the Pacific
cable. One very noticeable feature of
the tenders is that none of them make
any difference in the routes by way of
Necker Island as compared with that
by way of Fannings Island, so that the
consent of the Hawaiian and U. S.
Governments to the use for landing
purposes if thought advisable is not of
so much Importance, as at one time il
was thought it might be-
