Elliot’s Report of Operations Last Illinois Should Have it. Representative Adams of Illinois arrived in | Washington last evening and is ready to take hold and help Mr. Cannon with bis speaker- ship canvass. “The first thing I think this Congress ought to do,” he said to a Sraz re- porter, ‘is to elect Mr. Cannon Speaker. I think that ought to be done, and [ shall do all in my power to help bring it about. That is the thing that will occupy my attention for the present. Aside from every other considera- tion I think it wonld be a wise thing to give the speakership to Illinois at thig time. She has never had that honor, and to give it to her now would have a beneficial influence on the west. She is a republican state and will remain so, but there is a tremendous effort being made by the democrats there; if they shouid carry the legislature and gerrymander the state our party would not have as many members in Congress from Illinois as they now have. For the speakerahip to be given to Mr. Cannon now would help us @ great deal. Without saying a word against any of the other candidates I simply believe that the wisest thing for the party is to let Illinois have the spenkership.” Mr. Adams is stopping at the Arlington, where he has made his winter headquarters for anumber of years, REPRESENTATIVE McCREARY. What He Says About the Prospects of the Coming Session—The World’s Fair Site. Representative McCreary is atthe Shoreham, where he has taken quarters for the winter. He is greatly interested in the proposed world’s fair and says he feels assured that there will be no hitch that will defeat the plans. He does not feel at present like committing him- self to any particular site, but says that after he has heard both sides he will come out for the site he thinks the most desirable and will work with all his might. He has recently re- turned from St. Louis and Chicago, but he has nothing to say as to their chances of getting the exposition. The thing he is interested in is that an exposition should be held. As chair- man of the foreign affairs committee ip the last Congress he made a favorable report on the bill that was pressed by the board of pro- motion, of which Mr. Anderson is chairman, and did all he could to secure the celebration in asnitable manner at the national capital, bop sibat time there were no competitors in the field. ELECTION LAWS, CIVIL SERVICE, ETC. Speaking with Tue Stan reporter about the prospects of the session, he expresed the opin- ion that the republicans could not passa federal election law nor repeal the civil service law. “With such asmall majority as they will have,” he said, ‘it will be impossible for them to pass the Sherman or the Chandler bill. I, for my part, would be 0; d to such action most earnestly, and would feel justified in resorting toany honorable means to defeatit. More- over, I think there are republicans who would not support such a proposition. As tothe civil service law, Ido not think the democrats are going to help them out of any embarrassment they may have become involved in,” THE RED MEN’S INTERESTS. The Indian School at Lawrence—Special Agent Rankin. Mr. Moserve, who was recently appointed superintendent of the Haskell] Indian school at Lawrence, Kan., is in the city for the purpose of conferring with Indian Commissioner Mor- gan. A number of changes will be made in the method of conducting that school. A high school course will be added to the present cur- riculum, and it is the intention to substitute for the younger pupils older ones, so that the farm of 200 acres connected with the school can be worked by the pupils. The appointment of Mr. Meserve created a good deal of comment, as it was made iu oppo- sition to the wishes of Senator Plumb. its candidate for the place was John R. Rankin, who has now been appointed a special agent to allot lands in severalty in the Indian territory. It is stated that this appointment is satisfactory to Senator Plumb. Business Men at the White House. The President this afternoon reccived a large number of gentlemen, representing various business interests throughout the country, including a delegation from the National banker's association. The object of their visit was to request him to incorporate in his annual message recommendations for the passage of an equitable national bank- ruptcy law. Representatives From the New States. The Representatives-clect from the new states will hold a meeting at the Riggs during this afternoon or evening to make each other's acquaintance and discuss the various matters of coming interest to them all in connection with the approaching session of Congress, Coming into the Union at the same time and having similar interests in most respects, it is likely that they will work together as a fi horse team, ‘The things they are especially in- terested in are questions relating to the public lands, the Indians and mining affairs, and their object now is to combine soas to secure, if pos- sible, such committee assignments as will put them in a position to look out especially for these interests. It may be that they will agree to vote together on the speakership question. The object of this meeting is to agree upon some course by which they may secure the recognition they think they ought to have, They do not propose to take a back seat because they have just got into the Union, but they will, rather, claim some consideration for hav- ing been kept out so long. They expect to de- cide at this meeting what committee assign- ments they will ask for and how they will divide the Tenors among themselves, Increased Internal Revenue Receipts. ‘The annual report of Commissioner of Inter- nal Revenue Mason for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1889, shows that the internal revenue receipts from all sources during the year were $130,894,434, or $5,894,434 more than the esti- mate in the last annual report from the bureau, and it is estimated that receipts during the current fiscal year will reach $135,000,000. The revenue {rom spirits during the past fiscal year aggregated $74,312,206. an inreease of $5,006,039 over the preceding year; from fermented liq- uors, €23,723,89 ceding year; from tobacco in its various forms, $31,866,860, an increase of $1,201,428 over the preceding year; from oleomargarine, $894,247 Against 5864,189 during the preceding year, and from miscellancous sources $97,244, or $72,335 less than during the preceding fiseal year, The percentage of tho cost of collecting this revenue was a traction less than 3 1-5 per cent, which is exactly the same as the percontage of cost for the precoding fiscal year. The whole number of grain distilleries registered during the fiscal Year was 1,440, of which number 1,267 were op- erated, an’ increase during the year of 140 tn the number of registered, and of 238 in the number operated. Ran Over by a Street Car and Killed, About 6:30 o'clock last evening Allen Wagner, a thirteen-year-old boy, living at No. 446 New Jersey avenue, had his leg cut off by a street car on 7th street between North and South B streets, Ho was on the front platform of car No. 61 and losing his balance fell, and before the driver, Chas.

Leake, jr., prominegt in various min- | They were married in September ing land companies in the south and - 1885, returned to this city and hved together or $399,616 more than the pre- | Month to Increase the Water Supply. Col. Elliot's report of operations during October shows that $41,968.05 were expended in that month on the new project for increns- ing the city's water supply. This leaves an available balance of $235,096.10. During the month there were received 4,800,402 pounds of cast-iron pipe, 93,074 pounds of special castings and one 48-inch valve, Col. Elliot says: “While the contractors are now casting the pipe with sufficient rapidity its dehvery by rail continues to be very unsatisfactory, and were it not for the receipt by vessels serious delays in laying the maim would have occurred during the month, The trench for the 48-inch main has been extended on R_ street from 14th t to New Hampshire avenue, a distance of feet; the Conduit road division was com- menced near the distributing reservoir and carried a distance of 1,874 feet, and the George- town division was commenced at 30th street and carried to High street, a distance of 1,036 feet. In the Capitol grounds the trench for the 30-inch main has been excavated a distance of 1,056 feet. The work of laying the 48-inch main has has been continued during the month by two forces, one working on the Conduit road and the other on R pe , while a third has been laying the 30-inch main across Capitol grounds from New Jersey avenue and B streets to East Capitol and ist strects east. CAUSES OF DELAY. “The length of 48-inch main laid during the month is about 4,740 feet and of 30-inch pipe 882 feet. There hasbeen much loss of time from rains during the month, The finding on R street between 17th street and New Ham; shire avenue of the the buried bed of an old pond through which it was necessary to carry the excavations to a considerable depth in order to reach a firm material on which to lay the 48-inch main, and the use of the concrete for supporting the main, which I also found necessary in a part of the work, have caused a still further delay, THE WORK IN THE CAPITOL GROUNDS. “The meeting of a great number of pipes under the roadway in the Capitol grounds, unexpectedly increased the time and expense required for this work, Ihave, at the date of this report (November12), been compelled to stop laying the 30-inch main at the east side of the Capitol grounds, until the delivery of the pipe and special castings req for East Capitol street. ON THE CANAL ROAD. “The excavation at the distributing reservoir for an arched gallery. or extension of the gate chamber, has been completed during the month, and a force has been at work blasting in excavating a trench in the rock for the sec- tion of the 48-inch main which lies on the canal road between Foundry branch and Col- lege pond. A portion of this rock is exceed- ingly hard, and as there is barely room for this trench between the existing 36 and 30-inch mains, which already lie under this narrow road, on which mains the present suppy for the city depends, very great care is taken to guard agi nas accidents to them. “Tho trench for the 48-inch main has been re- filled and rammed for a total distance of about 7,400 feet and for the 30-inch main about 500 feet. The contractor for hauling away surplus material has removed the extra earth from the trench on R street from 4th to 17th. “DURING THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER it is proposed to continue laying both the 48 and the 30-inch mains as the weather and the receipt of material will allow, to construct the bridge across Rock creek which is to support the main between the abutments of the M- street highway bridge and to construct the gallery over the effluent pipes outside the gate chamber at the distributing reservoir.” COMFORT FOR COFFEE DRINKERS.

Alarge proportion of the coffee used in this country comes from Brazil, although, of course, Mocha and Java coffees lead among the better grades, For the last few years, however, the output of Brazilian coffee has been rather small and prices have advanced 40 per cent over what they were three years ago. Coffee is always a subject for speculation and any change in the price can generally be traced to that cause, The leading grocers here say that there is no reason to fear any shortage in the supply unless the Brazilian provinces revolt and a long-continued war re- sults, when itis rather likely that speculative influences will send prices way up. Since the first report of trouble the wholesale market har been rather flurried, but prices have risen only a half acenta pound, This does not affect the retail price, and as yet no changes have oc- curred nor do they seem likely. Mr. Zech of Hume & Co, thinks there is no cause for apprehension, He said that while at least two-thirds of our coffee comes from Brazil his latest report was that coffee is barr! and prices steady. The Brazilian crop, it is true, was rather light, but this was hardly sufficient in itself to cause a serious rise. Mr. Galt of Cornwell & Son said: “I have noticed no serious change in the market nor do Lapprehend one. It is true we handle little or no Rio coffees, but any shortage in that class would instently affect all others. We handle Java and Mocha principally, and ‘for a cheaper class we find Mexican coffees far superior to Rio.” io. Mr, N. W. Burchell said there had been no rise in the retail price nor did he anticipate one, especially as it seems the Brazilian troubles are likely to have an amicable settle- ment. Mr. James L. Barbour in speaking of the situation with a Stan reporter said: “‘Whether or not the rebellion in Brazil will influence the coffee market in this country I am unable at present to say. The political aspects of the movement are full of interest, but, of course, we are more nearly concerned in its commercial effect, America receives from Brazil about 50 per cent of all the coffee uscd, and anything beyond a slight temporary derangement of commerce would have embar- rassing results, However, Ido not think that there will be any great advance unless there is actually a war.” Mr. N. Shea said he thought the trouble would not affect the coffee market, especiall) as the rebellion seemed thoroughly organize: Mr. W. G. Lown of the firm of W. J. Lown &*Bro, said that as a matter of course any trouble in Brazil would more or lees affect the coffee market, ially as the United States received more tl half of th sumed from that country, He said that his firm had not advanced the ages do would wait for the markets 80. Mr. Alf. Middleton of the firm of Middleton & Browning said that the whole thing, in his opinion, dis not amount to a snap of his finger au far oa the coffee market was concerned. . ‘an, the grocer, was of the opinion that ‘unloss war resulted the coffee market would remain undisturbed. © . ropa A Cut Across the Buck of the Neck.

WHO CONSTANT 18. Panis, Nov. 18.—Senor Benjamin Constant, the new war minister of Brazil, is known here agamanof great learning, liberal ideas and force of character. Many of the younger ofli- cersof the army studied under him when he was instructor in the military acade nd it can be said that fully two-thirds of the army is thoroughly republican in sentiment. Con- stant was known early in life as an enthusiastic follower of Compte the founder of the shool of iti philosophy, and in 1871 club in Brazil, For some reason or ather Dom Pedro, though himself a man of very liberal ideas, never lnoked with favor upon Canstant’s theories of government, and on more than one occasion the soldier-philosopher was made to feel the weight of the emperor's displeasure. Constant is not ashowy or brilliant man, bat a very capable and careful one, and his reputa- tion is stainless. He is the leading spirit of the new regime, though not occupying the nominal leadership. HE HAS NO OFFICIAL NEWS. New York, Nov. 18.—Consul General De Mcadonea of the Brazilian government arrived in this city from Washington today. The con- sul was scen at the office of the Brazilian min- ister.

Sr. Lovis, Nov. 18.—Herm Baasch, one of the largest coffee merchants in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, is in this city. He was asked his opinion regarding the revolution in Brazil and in the interview said: “I am not inclined to place much credence in the report. I nave just re- ceived a cablegram from Rio sent on Friday and containing no news of the reported revo- lution in Brazil. The thing is beyond my com- prehension and I don’t kuow what to make of it. When I left home last June the people seemed to be satisfied and peacefully inclined 8o far as politics was concerned. The emperor, Dom Pedro is well liked by all the people, but I know that his daughter Isabelle is universally detested both by the masses and classes, “If the reports are well founded as to the al- leged revolution I don’t know whether it would, affect our commercial relations with other countries or not. ‘The natives might possibly. burn the coffee warehouses in Rio and Santos, but that is not likely, for the natural instincts: of the Brazilians are against jeopardizing com- modities in that manner. The result of an outbreak may cause an advance being made in the currency value in kio, which, however, may be offset by « declination in’ exchange, which is not improbable.” Mr: Baasch thor country, and he thought the country approach- ing so near to the ideas of a republic that it was indiscrect and unwise for the natives to begin a revolution at this time.
