Was the Occasion of a DelnOnstra-
tion for President Moraes--Mat-
tiers Are Now Quiet.

Rio Janiero, November 7,--La.st night a
large mob broke into and looted the offices
OF the Republican. Although the plan was
generally known. the police were power
less to prevent the attack.
The Republican made itself particularly
obroxious by It's criticisms upon the gov
ernment's policy Ia connection with tho
recent campaign against fanatics by It's at
tackg upon President Moraes and General
Marcardo Bittencourd. who was fatally shot
during the disturbance which followed the
attempt upon the presidents life last Fri
day night
London, November THE correspondent
OF the Times at Rio Janiero, cabling fur
Their particulars since the attack on Mo-
RAGS last Friday, says: "Tbe city Is quiet
and orderly today Sunday; tho streets
arc strongly mrtoled. and the garrison is
held in constant readiness. President Mo-
RAGS has published proclamation, Ia
menting the crime. but declaring IT VIII
not cause him to sweryc hairs breadth
in the fulfilment Of his mission.
Colonel Moraes. who was with tho presi-
dent at the time of tho outrage. says many
letters have been received latelytShreaten-
ing the presidents life. The official paper
says the attack was the result OF con-
spiracy The aesailant has been associated
with tho Jacobins, several OF whom have
been arrested"
Washington, November 1.-THE Brazilian
legation today received cablegram from
the minister OF foreign affairs at Rio de ia
Nero announcing the funeral OF Marshal
Birtencourt who was fatally wounded on
Friday while protecting President Moraes
from assassination. The message reads:
'"rhe funeral OF Marshal Bittencourt, min
lister OF war took place yesterday. The
president OF tho republic followed the re-
mains to the cemetery, and was enthusiast
tically acclaimed by the people OF all
classes on the passage of the funeral"

OF Baltimore may as we'll prepare tn, nj

and trusty of the Orioles. in fact, two pill
lars of the team, will be missing from the
ranks next season.

open secret that Jack did not hitch we'll

The feeling between Doyle and the "bic
-FOUR hes never been CT the best, and last
summer there were several open rupturcs
between the scrappy first baseman and
members OF the big combination. McGraw
has put himself on record and says he will
not play on the same team with DOYLE
again.
Manager Hanlon should be able to make
an advantageous deal for such a good man
MS Doyle, and the chances are that he has
already something In his minds eye. In
deed, it would not be surprising to find
Jack in Brooklyn next year.
as things are now looking the Baltimore
manager will need all his skill and good
fortune to round up the team for '9s. That
meeting in Philadelphia is liable to be an
eventful one.

unwise. The company has begun to

will eventually pay taxes like other
people. In the meantime a justly eX-
asperated people can await the slow
event Of the law. The receiver says
that the company cannot afford to
sell more than eleven tickets for fifty
cents, or to furnish each car with IA
conductor. When the delinquent tax
case is tried, the affairs Of the COM
pany will be subject to scrutiny,
from which thts, q este ms can be
decided. To passer-by the street
cars do not appear to be patronized by
enough people to justify severe treat
ment Of the company.
Why can not the street railway COM
pany place slot machines in the cars
for ticket buyers? This plan would
net necessitate a conductor and would
