minister conger confirms the
REPORTS.
The Congress Dissolved and Martial
Law Proclaimed —R!o Janeiro Re
ported Swarming With Government
Troops—Advocates of the Restora
tion of the Monarchy at the Bottom
of the Trouble.
Washington, Nov. s.— The department
of state boa received a cablegram from
Minister Conger confirming the reports of
the dissolution of congress, aud the declara
tion of martial law in Brazil. The news is
viewed with deep concern here, in view of
tue impcrtnuce of the American interests
in that country, and our close tr.ide with it.
There is reason to believe that the revolu
tionary movement is being fomented
by a considerable party which
seeks to re-establish the monarchical
form of government in Brazil. Such reports
as were receive! here during the past few
months indicated steady strengthening of
the republican feeling among the Brazilian
people, and while the news of the revolu
tionary movement caused much surprise
and will probably lead to the ordering of
some of our naval vessels to points where toe
trouble is threatened, it is not generally
believed that the revolutionary element is
strong enough to uproot the new republic.
AN ELECTION CALLED.
KlO Janeiro, Oct. s.—lt is officially an
nounced that the president has convened
the nation to elect new representatives at a
cate to be determined upon later. The
federal capital (Rio Janeiro) and the town
of Xlctheroy or Praia Grande, five miles east
of tbe capital, have been declared to be in a
state of siege for two months, ihe presi
dent has been provoked to take these steps
by the proceedings of the congress, and by
efforts on the part of the promoters of tbe
restoration to overturn the republican in
stitutions.
THE PRESIDENT JUSTIFIES HIS COURSE.
The president, in a manifesto issued to
tbe nation, declare? himself to have been
fully justified in taking the steps referred
to.‘The army and navy support tbe gov
ernment and public tranquillity, according
to the official announcement, is perfect
throughout the states.
In conclusion it is said that the govern
m-nt is ready to maintain order by every
means, that the constitution would be re
spected and that the government will also
be answerable for all national engagements.
The governors of the 'loading provinces have
congratulated President da Fonseca upon
bis success in maintaining order.
CAUSE OK THE CRISIS.
The general situation is unchanged. The
crisis arose from the congress accusing Pres
ident da Fonseca of having unwarrantably
assumed sovereigu powers. The freedom
of the press is suspended. The embargo has
been removed from cipher telegrams, but
press telegrams aud newspaper comments
are subject to a vigorous censorship.
BRAZIL'S MINISTER NOT EXCITHU.
New York, Nov- s.—Honor Salvador do
Mendonca, the Brazilian minister to Wash
ington, does not regard the condition of

exile from Brazil, a promoter of American-
Brnzilian enterprises anl constant corre
spondent of the most important officials at
Rio, had the following to say : "There is
no revolution in Brazil, nor will
there be. I do not hesilate to
sa.v that the existing trouble may be
traced to the English, and their
great chagrin at the treaty of reciprocity
recently made with this country. Ever
•nice the president signed the treaty Eu
g ish agents have been howling into the
ears of die younger congressmen the great
injustice done to brazil aud the sums of
niouey thereby lost, and it seerns not with
out effect."

“J. E. Goodwin, a sub-lessee of the con
victs at Bricoville, when asked if the con
victs would be returned to the mines wud
that they would not unless the state au
thorities would guarantee the n protection.
He said there wus no use in taking convicts
there to be released iu a few days. The
prison inspectors to-day issued an order
calling for the return to the ma;u prison of
of all prisoners serving term- for the more
serious crimes who are now at the branch

COAL MINERS TO 3TRIS.E.
They Den; and an Increase of 10 Cents
Per Ton In Their Pay.
Terre Haute, Ind., Nov. s.— The block
coal miners held a meeting at Brazil yester
day and decided to go on a strike for an
increase of 10 cents a ton from 75 cents, re
fused by the operator*, if the bituminous
miners would strike for an Increase from 70
to 75 cents. A committee was appointed
to meet with a delegate convention of th#
bituminous miners of the state here to-day,
and report back to the block miners next
Saturday. The operators have no coal on
baud.
THE BITUMINOUS MINERS TO GO OUT.
Terre Haute, Ind., No>. 5, U h. m.—
The delegates to the Indiana biuiminoHs
coal convention here, late this afternoon
voted to strike in support of the demand of
the block coal mine; sof the state and also
for an increase of 5 cents per ton in the
scale for themselves. There was only
one mine worked in Indiana to-day, aud
that was at Clay City. This action of to
day virtually throws all th miners in the
great fields of the state on strike, as both
the block and bituminous miners have now
agreed to join hands. Now that the miners
present a united front to the oper
ators, a long and desperate battle is
looked for. Already there is complaint
from many quarters of the stale that there
is a coal famine, aud to-riay’s decision will
have the effect of increasing the price of
coal materially. The agreement entered
into is that neither the block nor bituminous
miners are to return to,work until the de
mands of both are uiet. The operators re
fuse to pay the itiorease.
HUGH PRICE HUGHES’ LETTERS.
The Great City Problem as Beriou9
Here as in England.
London, Nov. s.— Rev. Hugh Price
Hughes, in a final letter on the ecumenical
conference in Washington, D. C., dwells
upon the existence of “sweating” stir ca
tion and immorality in American cities, in
which respect, he says, the American cities
are equal to tue English cities. Mr. Hughes
says; “The conference will tend to awaken
American citizens from the semi-optimism
into which their privileges and wealth have
betrayed them. They must face the gre-.t
city problem as seriously and as
sadly as we have ourselves. We
have returned with a deep sense
uot only of the charming simplicity and
kindliness of our America l 00-religlonists,
but also of the almost boundless p ssibili ties
of the great republic if its citizens onl y re
member, as Herbert Spencer and Matthew
Arnold tried to teach them, that
character is more important than the
almighty dollar. Iu that case we hope to
see in the twentieth century the fulfilment
of Mr. Bright’s glorious vision—o e people,
one faith and one language overall the wide
continent, a home of freedom, a refuge for
the oppressed.”
Another Riot at Cork.
Cork. Nov. s. —There was another seri
ous election fight at midnight last night
betwee i the Parnellltes and McCarthyites.
DuriDg the battle many people were in
jured and are now being treated at the
hospitals. William O’Brien, member of
parliament; Thomas Condon, member of
parliament, and John Gilhooly, member of
parliament, are among the injured. All
three of the gentlemen mentioned wore hit
by stones hurled at them by Parnellltes.
A FIGHT ON A BRIDGE.
Late to-night a crowd of Parnellltes at
tacked and stoned a body of McCarthyites
parading in Wintbron s.reet and singing
“God Save Ireland.” The McCarthyites
fled t) the bridge, where they turned and
faced their pursuers. Each side showered
missiles upon the other, but eventually the
Parnellltes captured the bridge. About
the same time a detachment of police ar
rived, and, after some difficulty, they suc
ceeded in dispersing the rioters. Many
persons were cut with stones.
STONER ALTOGETHER TOO HANDY.
Dr. Charles Tanner, member of parlia
ment for Mid Cork, called to-day upon the
sheriff of Cork auu entered a formal pro
test against the quantity of stones laid
übout the streets, ostensibly for repairing
purposes. Dr. Tannef called attention to
the fact that iu view of the polling to-mor
row in the election to be bald for a successor
to the late Mr. Parnell, these stones might
be used with deadly effect by the
McCarthyites and Parnvllites. The sheriff
said he would have an inquiry made into
the matter, and if it was discovered that
the stonee had been laid in the streets with
an ulterior object, he would insist upon the
dismissal of the city eugineer. who was
responsible for having them placed about
the city.

INDORSED THEIR POLICY.
McKinley Says the People Want a
Let-up In the Agitation or the Tariff
Question -The Republican President
and Republican Senate Declared Bul
warks Against a Low Tariff.
Cincinnati. 0., Nov. s.— a special to
the Time* Star from Canton, 0., says:
“Maj. McKinley said to-day, speakiug of
the Ohio elections: ‘1 am convinced that
tbe judgment of our citizens does not ap
prove constant agitation of the tariff issue
in the face of tbe fact that it can accom
plish nothing. It must surely be appar
ent to all alike that condi
tions without which effective legislation
is impossible do not exist. The
republican Senate and republican Presi
dent are bulwarks against wblch tbe free
trade forces dash powerless and with no
immediate prospect of a change in these
conditions. The only result of continued
agitation is to disturb busiuess and retard
the enterprises which tbe new law designs
to encourage. In spite of all the bill is
working its way, and from being on the
defensive a year ago we are now on the
aggressive. When business is already
good our popple will not loug toler
ate movements which disturb it
lu the faco of tbe conditions
I have named, and you will find that re
publicans and , democrats alike will call a
halt on men whose stock in trade is not
fair, square argument, but juggling mis
representation. Ohio has gone republican
and 1 accept the result us indicating that
this state stands by the Republican party
with full faith in its protective principles
as embodied in tbe tariff law, and. more
than this, Ohio stands ns sbs always has, in
favor of a full dollar amljKoiind currency.’ ”

republicans now claim from 48 to 50 ina
jority on joint ballot in the legislature.
AN ENGLISH VIEW OF IT.
London, Nov. s.—The Globe this evening
says of the elections just held in the United
States: “They prove beyond a|doubt that
there is a popular reaction iu favor of the
McKinley tariff. Hit triumph was the most
striking feature of the elections, but it U
doubtful if it was the most significant. The
republican success in other states an 1 only
mean that tbe tariff has not been found
to work so badly as at first imagined.
The mischief wrought to British industries
will, moreov r, hlp to convince the Ameri
can voter that, it .1 ust somehow be of good
to himself vYe saould thus make a great
mistake if w, |.*>k too confidently for a
democratic triumph in 1893 and for the
abandonment of prohibitive duties.”
The fall Mall Gazelle says the result
means that ex-President Cleveland aud
President Harrison will fight it out.

announced in these dispatebss, the liberal

Admiral Montt is not only approvid by the
entire liberal party, but that loading mem
bers of other parties acquiesce 111 bis selec

now at issue between Chile and tue Unite!
States will bo more calmly discussed and
tbut the outcome will b 1 satisfactory
to both nations. Admiral Montt was the
mB6 pronounced opponent of the late

president-elect is ext re noly jnjpular with
all classes, ami his olection is hailed with
much satisfaction on all sides.

fle.d’s Attempt to Head Off Conk
ling’a Retirement by Promisee of Pat
ronage—founds Lika a Boom for
B 1 line. .
Chicago, Nov. s. —The Tribune to-mor
row will print an interesting talk with Col.
A. L. Conger, Ohio member of the republi
can national committee. CoL Conger said:
“Let me give you a little incident whiob
occurred during President Garfield’s ad
ministration. It shows that reciprocity wae
to bfl the great policy to be developed in
President Oilfield’s administration, and
that hit groat Secretary of Stats was uu
kuistaknbly its author.”
Col. Conger then went on and told of hia
meeting Emory. Storrs in Washington, that
Mr. Ntorrs told him he was greatly worried
because hie friend Kosooe Coukling intended
to resign fro n tbe Henxt* because of Col
lector Robertson’s appointment. At Mr.
Storrs' request, Mr. Conger says, he im
mediately proceeded to tho white house and
laid tho matter before President Garfield.
GARFIELD’S OLIVE BRANCH.
“President Garfield,” continues Mr. Con
ger's storv, “req tested me to have Mr. !
Storrs see Henntor Cockling at once and as
sure him that he (Garfield) had no personal
feeling iu tne matter; that he meant no
dii espeot to the *e ator in the appointment
and stood ready to carry out any wish of
tbe senator's that was fair and reasonable,
exoept that be oould not recall the appoint
ment of Collector Robertson; that he would
be glad to have Mr. Storm see the senator
aud bring any suggestions he might have to
offer concerning tbe appointment of hie
friends to other positions.
CONKLI.NU FAILED TO ACCEPT. i
“I returned to the hotel and reported try
Mr. Storrs the result of my interview. Mr.
Storrs seemed well pleased with the assur
ances given, and said be would sew
Senator Conkling at once, and he believed
he oould get him to reconsider bis deter
mination tu resign, and that I should re
turn to the white house, inform the Presi
dent that he would see Senator Conk
ling immediately, and that 1 should tiler®
await bin arrival. I returned to
the President, and we waited for
tidings from Mr. Storrs. but none onus.
Finally Mr. Brown, the President’s private
secretary, came in and handed the Presi
dent a telegram. It was from the capitol.
announcing that Senator Conkling had re
signed his seat iu the Senate. I shall never
forget the look upon President Garfield’*
faoe wheu he read the telegram.
THE DIE UAKT.
“Ho hauded it to me aud said, ‘lt is up;
the die isooar;s r ; Senator Conkling has re
signed his seat In the Senate and the conse
quences must rest with him; nothing fur
ther can be done now.’ 1 remarked to the
President that I was verv sorry at the
turn affairs had taken; that I was fearful
that the stalwart republicans would side
with Senator Conkling, and that it might
create a split in the party and defeat his r
nomination. Now mark his reply. Putting
his hand upon my shoulder, President Gar
field said: ’Mr. Conger, do not be alarmed.
We shall develop a policy during mv ad
ministration which will make the Republi
can party more popular with the people of
this country than it baa over been since the
day of its birth.’
THE POLICY HE ALLUDED TO.
“We parted and I never saw poor Gar
field again. Now, as to tho policy about
which be spoke, that was to become so pop
ular with tne people. Ivl ited Washington
several months after President, Arthur had
taken his seat as President, with his cabi
net reorganized. I think Bccretary Blaina
at that time was working upon bis book.
I met Maj. McKinley, and we wen*
together to call and pav our respects to Mr.
Blaine. We found him at his house and
bad a pleasant ouut with him. Duriug thus
conversation Mr. Blame took up and dis
cussed tho proposed pun-American con
gress. which he said would have beers
held, aud the project carried out un
der Presldont Gsrfield’sjadminutration, ami
expressed hit great sorrow aud disappoint
ment at the unforeseen calamity which had
prevented it. He then went oil to dem u
strate tho great advantages that would ac
crue to this country under the proposed
policy, which they had hoped to inaugurate-
DISCUSSED RECIPROCITY.
* ‘He discussed the policy of reciprocity
coupled with protection, and the benefit®
that would acorue to the Amerioan people,
and especially to our manufacturers, our
laboriag meu and farmers; how it would)
provide au additional market for American!
cereals, American bsef and pork, ar and
American farm machinery, eta Beings
largely identified and connected with tb
business of manufacturing American
agricultural machinery, a business
which had at that time more than
$860,000,000 invested in the manufacture ot
various kinds of farming machinery, lwa*
Quick to catoh on to every word that Mr.
Blaine utterod duriug the conversation. I
saw in it a policy that would put in motion
tho wheels of nearly everv manufacturing
establishment in the United (Rates; than
would give employment to the great mass o<
American workingmen; that would
further the interests of the American
farmer, and the last word# that
President Garfield had spoken to me touch
ing the popularity of the polloy that b*
would develop duriug his administration
Hashed across my mind. I was particular
to catch on to all this, because in noli*
ties legislation which affects one’t
business also attracts the greatest
attention. I have no doubt if President
Garfield had lived, that same policy whicts
Secretary Blaine has now inaugurated un
der Preside it Harrison would have been
fully carried out by Secretary Blaine under
President Garfield. It is this wonderful,
practical and far-seeing statesmanship tha*
has given Secretary Blatr.e such a strong
hold in the hearts of the American people.
He is to-day 1,000,000 votes stronger thaa
his party.”
