Yesterday was the date for a national
election in Brazil. Whether the outcome
will be new president. or a dictator, or
a revolution, remains to be seen; and ii
may take several days, until the returns
are all in, to settle the question. Affairs
in Brazil have been in an unsettled state
for some time, and the recent assassina-
ton of the minister OF war and attempt
upon the life Of the president did not serve
TO improve the political outlook.

our winters arc neither very long nor very

Senator Lodge of Massachusetts is quot
ed as saying the forthcoming session of
congress should do something towards
settling the currency problem. He wishes
the issue to be made, So that those who
are opposed to currency reform may be
put on record. He desired the responsi-
bility for the defeat of currency reform to
be placed. Should Senator Lodge proceed
upon this idea of his, he would be in dan
ger of making himself unpopular with his
own party.

SOLVING AN OCEAN MYSTERY.
Hull of a Bark Located Which Caused
Deep Sea Tragedy.

Victoria, b. c., Sept. 10.-By the
wrecking operations of the Whitelaw
another mystery of the ocean has to
all appearances been solved by the dis
covery, off the coast of Vancouver Is
land, of the hull of a bark which in all
probability ran into and sent to the
bottom the steamship Pacific, with
all but three of three hundred and odd
persons on board in a dark night in
the later part of 1875, a short distance
below Cape Flattery.
No trace of the crew or any evidence
on which to base a theory as to the
identity of the unfortunate craft was
ever discovered until today when Cap
tain Whitelaw, with his salvage out
fit from SanFrancisco. Cal, in seek
ing to locate another wreck in that
neighbOrhood, discovered the complete
hull of what is now supposed to be
the bark which caused the loss of the
Pacific. The vessels name has been
made out as the Osprey, and the bows
give evidence of having been in a col
lSion.

AFFAIRS OF WILLARD & co.
Liabilities of the Firm Much Larger
Than Was Mt First Supposed.

New York, Sept. 10.-Reports were
current in Wall street that the linbi-
lities Of j. Z. Willard & Co., the brok-
ers, are much larger than was at hrst
supposed. 1t was learned, from what
seems to be a reliable source that one
client of the firm, man who is veal
thy and we'll known in the city, lost
about $500,000. This man has placed
his claim in the hands of his lawyers,
who are now taking steps to protect
his interest. 1t is intimated that they
may institute criminal proceedings.
A telegram from Chicago to wall
street concern today stated that j. X.
Willard says that the capital of the
firm was supplied by the Dwiggins
brothers, and that he was guaranteed
salary for the use of his name, but
had no other interest in the business.
]. r. Willard was suspended from
consolidated exchange today.
James L. Starbuck, the assignee, de-
clined to see either the creditors or
other callers. He sent out word that
he had no information to give, as he
had not yet succeeded in getting the
books of the firm in such shape as
to know the condition of affairs.
