Lats rans to he Si LIGHT "ON THE SITUATION. What SubConsul Redman Thinks is the Trouble in Brazil. New Yorx, Nov. 16.—A reporter called this morning at the consulate general of Brazil. Senor Salvador de Mendonca, the con- sul general, resides in © Washi most of the time and could not be geen. Sub- Consul John C. Redman, who 1s in constant communication with him and knows Brazilian echoes well, gave his personal opinion on the matter, . ‘Mr. Redman says that the so-called revolu- tion gan hardly be anything more than a riot between the military and the marinos, or ther a blopdy encounter between the students of the military and naval schools, who have always m very jealous of each other and seize evi opportunity to fight among themselves. “What cqufirime kim in this opinion is the shooting of the minister of the navy. “itis not admissible,” said Mr. Redman, that a revolution tending to the overthrowing of the imperial government could take place in the middle of Novomber, hardly a month atter tho last general election, which took place in October, and resulted in an over- whelming and peaceful victory of the liberals over the ultra-conservatiyes A STRONG MAJORITY. The new ministry and the new parliament had a majority of three-fourths of the total vote in the country. And you must not think that ‘liberals’ means ‘republicans,’ It does not in Brazil no more than England, and the émperor may be, said to be the first “liberal” of the country. The republicans are in the mi- nority. Moreover, the new minister is composed of the ablest men in Brazil, the premier especially, Senor Alfogso Celso. being astatesman of the highest order and not the man to yield to rioting or to step out without fighting. > yet to throw much light on the speakership contest. Every thing is still in the dark, and it isa great mistake for any one to assume that this or that bas greatly better prospects before him than any of the rest. While some one is bound to have a lead on the start ina fight of this sort there is no indication that a good start meansa fine finish. There is just enough uncertainty in the matter to make it quite possible that some one who does not seem to have such a large vote at first may win in the end. There is no chntitake tet the ela has a good fighting can 6 e chance, and it would NOT BE SAFE TO DET onanyone of them. It is claimed that Mr. Reed will have the votes of New England, New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. He is working hard to make thatsolid combina‘ He is aiming to have the unit rule adopted Now York go that having two-thirds of the votes of that state the rest will have to vote for him whether they like to or not. His friends claim that they will accomplish this and that they will have pretty solid cast for — eee yer ene! York, — Earn, el val ant w Jersey, as © a Sk notthen have enough votes to elect , and the south and west may look upon it aa combination against them, and may in turn combine. In fact, there is a world of pos- sibility in the fight and no certainty at all, Both Reed and McKinley are working much in the same field, and the friends of the latter are hopeful of checkmating the New York plan. fact, it is believed that Mo- inley’s hopes depend on his ability to break the eastern combine for Reed. A CURIOUS FEATURE OF THE CONTEST is that every one of the candidates was so fixed as to committee assignments in the last Con- gress as to assure him of a good committee in the next however the fight goes, None of them could get on a better committee than he served on during the last congress and is sure of in this, so there is no candidacy that is merely fora chairmanship. Each of the can- didates is in earnest for the Lg wopenee with nothing worth while to make by throwing his forces to another candidate, is precludes tho idea of any combinations on the bases of assignments. Henderson and Cannon are on the appropriations committee, a subordinate position on which is regarded as better than any chairmanship of another committee, and McKinley and Reed are on the ways and means committee, which puts them in about the same position, SS THE SALE OF THE ST. CLOUD, The Purchase Closed at $200,000—A Ten-story Building to be Erected. A COFFEE MARKET SCARE. “Now look at the origin of the dispatches, Not one is official, One comes from Rio to a New York rubber firm, others came from Lon- don to coffce firms. This fact becomes suspicious at this time of the year. It looks strongly like a coup de bourse intended to raise the prices in rubber and coffee. From private letters I know that the coffee crop will be short this year, ‘There are three periods in the preliminaries ofacoffee crop. The two first ones may be ruined by the rain, and they have been so this year, but the third will be fair. Nevertheless, the production will be reduced by half, go that it seems to be & pretty good time to wire such news to New York, doesn’t it?” AGAIN CONFIRMED, New York, Nov. 16.—The following cable was received at the Coffee exchange today at1 p.m. from Assobircas, Rio Janciro: ‘Political situation critical; emperor deposad,” pidhiven beasts An important meeting of the directors of the Washington Loan and Trust company was held today. It was decided to confirm the negotia- tions that have been in progress, as announced in last Saturday's Stan, for the purchase of the St. Cloud building, located at the southwest corner of 9th and F streets, The price paid was $200,000, or about $25 per square foot. The property has a frontage of 116 feet on 9th street and a frontage of 52 feet on F street. It was decided to improve the property by the erec- tion of a fine fire-proof building, ten stories in height. The first floor will be fitted up for the Base Ball. New York, Nov. 16.—The American associa- tion base ball men concluded their labors here at 1 o'clock this afternoon, The application on the part of Syracuse for admission was approved and tho delegates from that club admitted to the convention. This completed the six clubs in the association. The next meeting of the thee will be on December 9 at Columbus, Ohio. use of the company and the upper floors will be used as offices. A COMMITTEE consisting of A. A, Wilson, O. C. Green, B. H. Warner, John Joy Edson, J. 8. Swormstedt, A, F. Fox, J. J. Darlington and 8. W. Woodward will leave on Monday for New York ahd Phila- delphia to inspect the large business buildings in these cities, It is the intention to have all the modern facilities and improvements in the new building, and the committee want to ex- amine the best examples of architecture in that line. THE CAPITAL STOCK INREASED TO A MILLION. ‘The directors also decided to increase the capital stock to one million of dollars, and the additional stock will be allotted among the sub- scribers. A savings institution will be estab- lished as one of the features of the company’s business, The news of the closing of the sale of this property created » good deal of talk in real es- tate and financial circles today, The general opinion was expressed that this corner was one of the most eligible in the city. Several of the individual directors of the igure m talking with a Star reporter today said that the enterprise had been carefully considered in allits phases, and the unanimous conclusion was reached that the purchase of the property and its improvement would prove to be wise and judicious. ‘ ——— DISTRICT GOVERNMENT, —.—___ A Hecatomb of Victims. Denver, Cou, Nov. 16.—After an almost unprecedented struggle of two weeks with snow and wind the Denver and Fort Worth road is once more open for business. The company succeeded in releasing the imprisoned travelers and freight the first of the week, only to have the Ine closed again in a tew hours, It is believed now traffic will be uninterrupted. A ranchman living near Corosa Springs, Col, left three young children in his cabin one day last week and started with another man for town after food. They have never been seen since, hree cowmen from Las Vegas have been missing several days, and they have no doubt perished. It is thought that when the snow melts away the remains of nearly one hundred victims will be exposed.

Guzman-Blanco (now minis- ter to Europe) as dictator, it appears, is at an end. Both the people and the government have repudiated him. A letter just received from a prominent gentleman at the capital of Venezuels says “On Saturday, October 26, the statues of the ‘Illustrious American’ were demolished, mostly by the youth of Caracas, headed by our students, The government did nothing to disturb the perpetrators; nay, it appears even that at least the governor, ‘Dr. Cassanos,’ and the chief of the police were rather in the com- plot. One party went to Guzman's estate in the eastern part of the city, called “Lacuadra,” which was invaded and badly used. The house was broken into, the furniture was broken into pieces, &c. Nearly at the same time the statues of Guzman in other towns of Venezuela were likewise blown down. ‘The President on October 29 wrote a decree, — by all the ministers, that the statue of Old Guzman should be replaced as soon aa pos- sible by another one, Tuis decree has pro- duced ‘considerable disgust in some quarters end from it may spring forth a dissention hav- ing ugly consequences, The minister of foreign fairs, Dr. A. Parejo, immediately ed his office and the government accepted the resignation. I think by the next French mail Guzman will receive his letter of withdrawal.” WHAT MR. TYRER SAYS. Mr. T. W. Tyrer, who has spent much of the past three years in Venezuela as representative of the American telephone company, today said to a Stan reporter that the outbreak is not so much against Dr. Paul, who is president now, as it is against the concentration of diplomatic power in Guzman. He ia aappactically minister _ plenipotentiary to all Europe and the party of young liberals object to hhuving such & monopoly. They would rather have his responsibilities divided #0 as to give other men some show for places, Two outbreaks had occurred when Mr. Tyrer was in Venezuela. On one occasion an attempt was wade to decorate some of Guziman's statues with flowers on his birthday, and it produced a riot in which the military shot several people. sina baste LIQUOR LICENSES ISSUED.

Yesterday afternoon in the Police Court Pros- ecuting Attorney Armes called Judge Miller's attention to the case of Chong Lee, the China- man recently acquitted of a charge of keeping an opium joint. He wanted the case reopened, and argued on his motion. Mr. Shillington argued the case for Chong Lee. The proceed- ing was a novel one, as it is generally under- stood that the government cannot move for a trial. Mr. Armes contended that he could show to the court that the variance between the infor- mation and proof, which settled the case in the Chinaman’s favor, was not what is termed in law a fatal variance, but merely an unimpor- tant discrepancy which the law rejects as sur- plusage. The matter was fully argued and the court held that the government had no ground for reopening the case and thatthe variance wes @ fatal one and entitled the defendant to an acquittal. Mignon at Albaugh’s. Standing room was hard to obtainat Al- baugh’s last night. Miss Juch was to sing “Mignon,” and all the principals were in the cast. The opera was produced in a most creditable manner. Miss Juch as Mignon came as near perfection in that role as it secms possible to attain, Her acting revdhled great dramatic intensity, while the purity, sweetness and correctness of her voice delighted the ear. Miss Decca, as the sprightly actress Filina was in admirable voice, and won much applause by her ex- cellent singing of the well-known Polacca, Miss Decea's many friends in Washington, who have watched her career with interest have been much pleased with her achievements during the week. The fine quality and admirable train- ing of her voice, and the adaptability to stage requirements she has displayed give promise of a future that is gratifying to those who feel a deep interest in her success. Mr. Vetta, Miss Mac- nichol, Mr, Hedtmont and others of the com- any acquitted themselves well last night and elped tomake a most satisfactory presenta- tion of the pretty opera, Tonight Freischutz will be produced, Miss Juch appearing as Aynes, a role in which she has made some of her greatest successes, GEORGETOWN. ¢@ Tuanows From Hrs Bousoy anp Bapty Hurt.
