IxiNdo.i, Nov, 23. Diflpatclie from
Rio Janeiro thin nite.rnoon Ijrint; news
llmt tlit) opiiuoition to Fonwca liail !
Kutlica-i tulliciunt force to break tlirougli
all barriiira anil make itaelf mantor of the
itnulion. All that in known ia that the
upriaitiv was to formidable that Fonxeca
consiiliTcd t imKHil)le to inainUin bin
Mtmdeiicjr longer, and iurrendcred hii
authority. In " resigning, " as be called
it, he declarwl he did to in favor of
Floriano l'iexotto, vlce-preeident or vice
chief of the roviaional government, of
which Fonseva waa the bead. Whether
the opposition will be content lo allow
l'iexotto, about whom little is known
here, to assume, the leadership of Hate
in not known, but it in not believed he
will be permitted n chief executive even
temporarily, unless in sympathy with
the revolutionary movement Kio Jan
eiro it in a state of excitement, but the
repxirta do not indicate mob law
and serloua disorder. The uprising,
however, had the effeit of putting a stop
for the time beinif to all kinds of bimi
neiw. New of Foneca'a resignation
spread like wildfire through the city,
and it everywhere received enthusiastic
cheers and exclamations of aatUfaction.
Provinces are not yet beard from, but it
ii believed that news of the dictator's
downfall will everywhere be received
with the same satiiJaction as at the cap
ital. The revolution at Itio tie Janeiro
only broke out this morning, and its
work waa quickly accomplished.
London. Nov. 22 The latest informa
tion from Brazil is to tlu' effect' that nego
tiations between the two parties have
practically ended. Both Fonseca and
the juma are now preparing with the
greatest sfietxl for a trial at arms.
Aa cablcJ Fiiday, Fonaea sent a force to
attempt a landing near Barbeasa, just
eouih of the province of Santa Catherina.
Whether the object ia to defend Santa
Catherina, or nmke a laud movement
from the count ou Porto Allegro, is not
known. It is claimed that the allegiance
of the navy to Fonttwa is growing more
and more doubtful, and that the dictator
himself is alarmed by the evidence of
lukewarmness on the part of his naval
commanders. He dure Lot remove any
of them for fear of arousing a general
mutiny, and, on the other hand, the
Rio Grande junta is known to have re
ceived secret assurances of naval sup
port and sympathy, which is one reason
that accounts for the boldness of its at
titude. General Osorifis, the military com
mander of the junta's forces, has ex
pressed himself as having no doubt
of success aguiiist Fonseca He is one
of the most experinced officers in the
Brazilian service, and is an earnest re
publican. In common with many others
in Kio Grande nnd also Uruguay, he
professes to believe that Fonseca's object
is to re-establish the empire. The pre
valing impression, however, in Rio
Grando is that FonsecVa ambition is
wholly personal, that he cares no more
for Pom Pedro than for the congress
which has disolved and that his real
object is to establish a personal rule
similar to that which Francia and Lopoz
exercised in Paraguay. It is this im
pression which strengthens the junta
not in Rio Grande alone, but in other
provinces of Brazil.
London, Nov. 22. A dispatch received
from Rio Janeiro says: Fonseca, in a
proclamation duted November 21, has
appointed February 2Sf, next, as the day
for holding the general elections, and
summons congress to assemble May 8.
The president Bays the requiaiiients of
the constitution, amended to secure the
independence of the judiciary and the
executive, provides safeguards for up
holding the presidential vote, limiting
the prorogation. The president insists
that decorations and distinctions will be
respected. A telegram from rernam
buco says a railway was cut near Rio
Janeiro last night and a portion of it re
moved. It is supposed the work was
done by revolutionists. It is reported
the insurgents in Rio Grande are fitting
up an expedition to capture Desherro, on
account of its harbor.
AI'I'AIUN I t'HIM.
To It on ti me a Slefallte IIhnIn nntl
Wi(hlrnw I'apor HI oner.
Nkw Yokk, Nov. 21 The Herald's
Valparaiso cable says the government is
considering the subject of finances with
a view of the resumption of a metallic
basis, and the gradual withdrawal of the
paper issued. The following program
is proposed by the council of state : To
rehabilitate Chilian finances gradually,
and at the earliest time advisable to
retire the issue of Balmcceda of (21,000,
000 of aper; also to repay the bank the
0,000.000 obtained in forced loans by
Balmaceda, and authorize President
Montt to issue 0i0,000,000 bonds for the
purpose of retiring the above paper and
paying the banks, and all paper issued
prior to) 1891, the novernment bonds to
bear interest at Ave percent. The reduc
tion is to go on until it reaches 1S,HK)
000, and the government Is to withdraw
fractianal metal coins, which are now
only 2 per cent of silver. President
Montt has proposed to congress to cut
the army down to 5000 men and the
navy to six first, second and third-class
ships, two transporters, two schocl ships
eight small launches and two torpedo
boats.
London, Nov. 21 A Valparaiso dis
patch says that the proposition of Presi
dent Montt to cut down the army and
navy has caused considerable satisfaction
among the commercial residents of Val
paraiso, both foreign and native, as indi
cating that Montt does not anticipate
any serious trouble with the United
States, and that the existing difficulty
ill be amicably settled. The reason
given in influential Chilian quarters for
Montt't action is that he is afraid to
maintain the army and navy at their
present formidable strength. Since the
success of the revolution jealousies have
arisen in the revolutionary ranks. Prom
inent officers, both of the army and
navy, and especially of the army, have
shown signs of discontent, on the ground
that they have not been adequately rec
ognized, and that the members of the
junta and its immediate friends have an-
propriated the honor and rewards. Montt
baving seen that he himself, by means
of the navy alone, started a successful
revolution, is said to be afraid that his
example may be followed, and has re
solved to weaken the ability of the army
and navy for mischief.
The TratiraoBj- Completed.
Valpabiso, Nov. 22 The testimony of
the BaUim ore's sailors was completed
today, with exception of that of those
physically unsble to appear. Judge
Foster is seemingly impressed with the
clearness of the testimony to the fact
that Regan was killed by a policeman's
bullet, but it cannot be proved whether
it was by accident or intentionally.
Patrick: Shields, a fireman, han filed a
claim with the United States consul for
5000 damage for injuries received lrom
the Chilian olice.
Yellow l'eter In Itrazil.
London, Nov. 20. Adyices received
here from Santos declare that that poit
is infected with yellow fever. All other
Brazilian ports are also suspected of
bein- infected with the disease.

Nkw York, Nov. 23. As a result of
the big break in the conduit in east New
York, Saturday afternoon, by which
four men were killed, Brooklyn is on the
verge of a water famine. There is
scarcely enough water in Ridgewood
reservoir, to last even with the ut
most care, over twelve or fifteen hours.
The situation will se serious by this af
ternoon unless something is done before
then to remedy it. The great industries
of the city will be at a standstill for at
least one day. All factories using water
are ordered to shut down. AH fires
under boilers at the Brooklyn navy yard
are drawn, and work is entirely sus
pended. Water is shut off from boilers
in all the hotels and office buildings.
Not an elevator in the whole city is run
ning. Before noon fire broke out in a
three-Btory and basement brown stone
house. The fireman had no water, and
a report came in that they were tearing
down the house to prevent the spread of
the flames.
Brooklyn, N. Y Nov. 23. City hav
ing a water famine is due to the burst
ing of the conduit Saturday. Brooklyn
bridge cable is stopped, and locomotives,
used to shove people across the bridge.
All factories and hotels using steam had
the water turned off, and as a result 50,-
000 people have no work. It will be at
least tomorrow beforo the necessary re
pairs can be made.
Topkka, Kan., Nov. 22 The daily
Capital will publish a mortage statement
which shows that during the month of
October a net reduction in farm and city
mortgage indebtedness ot $301,000 was
made of which $302,000 is on farms.
There has been a net reduction of farm
nioi t rage indebtedness in a period of
five and one-half months of $2,300,000.
These figures are obtained from county
registrars of deeds, and are sworn to.
This shows that the farmers of Kansas
are prospering and that they are fust
paying off their debts.

THE SPEAKERSHIP CONTEST.
The Flintier' Convention at Indian
Bpnlis Splits on .Most of the '
Vital Question.
Wasiiixotou, Nov. 23. There were
bustle and confusion at the Arlington
hotel this morning before the meeting
of the republican national committee.
McKinley and Foraker were conspicuous
among the many persons thronging the
lobbies and corridors, and were every
where greeted with marked considera
tion. At 11 :30 o'clock the committee
entered into secret session.
The resignation of chairman Quay and
Treasurer Dudley of tie committee,
were accepted, and the action of the
executive committee Darning J. S. Clark
son, of Iowa, and Wm. Bardouka. of
New York, as their respective successors
was approved. Garrett A. Hobari, of
New Jersey, was elected vice-chairman.
The contest between McBride and
Barton, representatives of Utah on the
committee, was decided in favor of the
former. The doors were then opened,
and the presentation of claims for the con
vention began by Congressman McKenna
urging the advantages of San Francisco.
Mr. DeYoung closed for San Francisco.
Committeemen Campbell, of Illinois,
presented the Chicago resolution, stat
ing that the city would not become a
competitor, but would do the pro;ier
tiling if selected. Detroit's claims were
J vnmuM by ex-Sentor Palmer, Con-
gressman Allen, and Senator Stock
bridge. A recess was then taken for an hour.
On the seventh and last ballot Minn
eapolis received 29, Cincinatti 15, New
York 3.
The convention will be held June 7
Washington, Nov. 22 There is little
of news just yet in the fight for the
speakership of the next house of re
presentative. The principal candidates,
are still Mills, of Texas; Crisp, of
Georgia; Springer, of Illinois; Hatch,
of Missouri; McMiIlen, of Tennessee;
Wilson, of West Virginia ; and Bynum of
Indiana. These probably stand in the
order named so far as their strength at
present is concerned. There are other
candidates, but they seem to have
entered the race simply to give them
selves prominence so that the speaker,
whoever he may be, shall look upon
them with favor when he comes to make
up his lis's of committees. Mills has
Btraddled or hedged on the silver
question, which is believed to give him
votes among eastern democrats he
could not otherwise obtain. Crisp is
said to have the assurance of the in
fluence of Tairmany hall in his canvass.
In many quarters he is regarded as the
safest mau the democrats could choose.
Wilson is a remarkably able man and is
making a strong canvas". There lias
been no talk of a republican nomination.
It is an empty honor at the most, but in
all probablity it will be given by acclama
tion to ex-Speaker Reed. At any rate,
here, he will be the republican leader.

the
Indianapolis, Nov. 21. The net re
sults of the session of the farmers' organ
ization are the people's party has cap
tured the alliance, and the alliance has
split on the subtreasury scheme.
The anti-treasury people promptly is
sued a call for a convention of anti-sub-treasury
alliance men at Memphis the
16th of December. The call declares
that as the supreme council hag declined
to hear the protest against the subtreas
ury and land-loan schemes and govern
ment control of railroads and telegraoh
lines, it is decided to call for a national
convention of all anti-subtreasury alliance-men
in the United States to hear
and consider this protest and take such
final action in the premises as may
seem proper and best for the general
welfare.
The supreme council of the farmers'
alliance has adjourned. The place of
the next meeting has not been selected.
The council has refused to give the re
form press association any indorsement.
