THE UNITED STATES OF BRAZIL-
The "United States o Brazil" is a
term which just now one has to use
with unpleasant qualification and uncer
tainty. Whether General Fonseca is
president, usurper, dictator or tyrant
will be clearer when the press and the
telegraph of that country get release
from the present governmental manipu
lation. Fonsecii declares that he is
loyal to the republic, and that although
he has dispersed the congress, he has
called a meeting of a pew congress for
January, which he expects will revise
the constitution to suit his own notions
as to what ,a constitution for such a re
public as Brazil should be. The Brazil
ian "States" are spread over an im
mense territory nearly as large as all
Europe, and some of them are na unlike
as they are remote from each other.
Over eighty per cent, of the population
cannot read. A largo part of the more
educated people, disgusted with Romish
superstitions, have gone over into athe
ism. The ecclesiastical authorities, ex
asperated by the limitations put on their
"rights" to control education and
nearly everything else by the new re
public, are at heart disloyal to it. A
form of protestantism has been spread
ing,. butitliH8 not been attended by a
corresponding true religions culture.
For these reasons there does not exist,
as yet, sufficient basis in the moral ideals
of the people for any secure and high
order of popular government. To what
extent secession has broken out and
what armed conflicts between the
"republic" under Fonseca, and certain
of the states, it is impossible from, pres
ent imperfect and contradictory reports,
to speak with any certainty. One thing
is sure, Fonseca knows and feels he is
on uncertain ground, and rumor says ho
has sent in his resignation, hoping to
quiet the disturbing influences that are
tending to overthrow the government.

Their great illiteracy as a mass is not a

"MONAltCII OF THK DEEP.
The New Tork a Triumph or Modern
Science The Larfest Warship
Afloat. ...
The largest and most formidable war
ship ever built for the United "States is
the New . York, recently built in the
Philadelphia navy yards. ,
The New York, though not exactly a
sister ship of the Maine and Texas, will
be an armored cruiser of the same type,
and one of which the state in whose
honor she is named may well be proud.
The mission of the vessel will be to
carry a war into the enemy's territory,
and though not intended to fight in the
line of battle, her guns will be suffi
ciently powerful to enable her to give a
good account of herself against all com
. erg. . She at least will not be forced to
'run away" that she may "live to fight
another day, ' as mignt tie tne case
with some of the vessels in commission.
The following are the dimensions, etc.
of the New York :
Length on the water line -.380 ft. 6.5 in.
Breadth of beam -. 64 ft.
Mean draught ..... 23 ft 3.5 in.
Displacement 8,100 tons.
BnsWned seu speed 18.5 knots.
Maximum speed .' 20 knots.
Complement (ntlicers ahd men) ... 475.
Coal endurance Jtotal capacity) 13,000 miles:
The r.'ocvc table shows that the new
vesKcl will have a displacement of 1,500
tons in excess of the Maine, now stand
ing at the Brooklyn' navy yard, and a
collective horse power of 18,000, nearly
8,000 more than that of any vessel iow
in our service. .
There will be four separate engines,
each having a power of 4,500 horees
Two of these will work the shaft for the
starboard screw and two that for the
rxrt. These ' engines will be so ar
ranged that they may be disconnected,
allowing the vessel to cruise under half
power. They will be technically known
as- vertical, inverted, direct, acting.
tripled expansion engines, and will be
arranged in three water-tight compart
ments. The cylinders will be three in
number, 'having a diameter of 32, 46 and
70 inches respectively, with, a stroke of
42 inches!" " The air and circulating
pumps will be driven independently,
and the four main condensers will have
an area of 5,560 square feet.
Steam will be furnished by six boilers,
heated bv eight' furnaces. The former
will be of the-type known as horizon tal
feturn, five-tublar boilers, and will be
placed two abreast in three -water-tight
comDartments. They will be 13 feet, 3
inches in diameter and 21 feet, 3 inches-!
in length. The working steam pressure
will be 100 pounds to tne square men,
the total grate surface 996 square feet,
and the total heating surface 31,190
square feet. In addition to these, there
will be two auxiliary boilers above the
projective deck. Both the main and
auxiliary boilers will be fitted to work
under forced draught on the air-tight
fire room system. Experts agree that
the arrangement of the engines in the
New York show great economy at low
speeds, and it is estimated that on a
bunker capacity of 1,500 tons the cruiser
will have an endurance of 13,000 miles,
more than one-half around the world, at
a speed of ten knots.
Who Will lie Brigadier-General.
The office of brigadier-general of the
Oregon state militia ia now vacant, and
Governor Pennoyer will soon make the
appointment to fill the vacancy.. Brigadier-General
Siglin has resigned, and his
place will have to be filled by some one
equal to all the requirements of the po
sition: 'A number of recommendations
have been made to the governor, but he
will wait a few days before taking action.
It is learned that Colonel Charles E.
Morgan, late commandant of the Third
regiment, O. N. G., is most prominently
spoken of in connection with this office.
He is a practical militiaman, and has
been residing in this city for some time.
Colonel T. A. Houghton, who recently
resigned as comuyuidant of the Third
regiment, is also a candidate for the
office. Oregonian.
It is difficult to draw to dark a picture
of the suffering of the people of Kansas
through the borrowing of money. The
Howard citizen says that in Elk county,
from Jan. 1,1890, to Oct. 1890, 175 mort
gages were foreclosed by the sheriff
average of H)4 Per month. Nearly
all of these judgements were for interest
only, on the 6econd mortgage given to
secure the payment of the interest cou
pons. These 175 i-heriff's sales brought
$44,025, but as the amount of the
judgements was $134,348, the farmers
that have been sold out are worth $99,
370 less than nothing, . Either parts of
Kansas are too poor to support even
grasshoppers or the settlers, have bor
rowed recklesslv.
The San Francisco Bulletin has this to
say in regard to shipments of flour from
this coast: It is noticed that Oregon
has recently been shipping more flour to
Euvoe than. California. It was at one
time supposed that we should be able to
send si considerable quantity of Califor
nia, flour to Europe, and to this end it
was proposed to put up one of the
largest mills on this coast. The build
ing, n very large and substantial struc
ture, was erected, but the mill machin
ery has never been put up, and has
Erobably never been ordered. Oregon
as an advantage of cheaper .mill power
than California, but California flour has
been much appreciated in England.
The coal excitement is still high.
Giant powder has been ordered from
The Dalles, and its arrival is eagerly
awaited. The fever is spreading out
into the country," and here and there
men can be seen digging as though their
lives depended on their exertions.
Henry Dousman and Stant Dement are
digging. on Butte Creek and yesterday
sent us a small piece of .very "fair coal
which they had unearthed, which, how
ever, may be but a surface cropping.
