Among the notable men in town just now is Capt. Ledyard Ellsworth of Hartford, Conn. He is the inventor of the smokeless and noise- less powder which has caused so much discus- sion in military circles, both in Europe and America. Capt. Ellsworth is a short man with a keen, shrewd, typical New England face. He looks about forty-five years old, his hair being raven black, but is in reality sixty. He appears now to be in excellent humor with himself and the world, and the reason is, as he explained to aSrar reporter, that he has disposed of his great secret or ashare in it to a representative of the German government on terms that en- rich the inventor, THE CONVEYANCE.

AN OPTION ON AMERICAN RIGHTS. form Capt. Ellsworth by personal servi ninety-nine years. Capt. Ellsworth said to Taz Srar reporter that asa patriotic American he wished the United States to have a share in_his invention, and negotiations and private trials have been going on for some time. Now the European contracting parties claim thaton October 12they sent to Capt. Ellsworth at his bome in Hart- ford a letter closing with the option on the re- maining rights, This letter was not received by Capt. Ellsworth, as he was then in the west, and it isa question whether by the terms of the contract, as before stated, this acceptance, neither received nor receipted for, can be held as binding. If it can, it is said, our government has no chance of being let into the secret of this new combustible. If not it may be able to obtain an equality with Germany in the matter. SOMETHING ABOUT THE POWDER. Stan reporter, able correspondence with the government 0 cials, The orduance department were will- ing to test the powder but required that I should give them directions how to manufac- ture it. This, of course, I refused to do, as the whole value lies in the secret of the ingredients, Since then I have had nogotiations with several governments and after the trial of the powder at the sham battle at Hannover the formula was sold to Mr. Von Auderlitch, A DARK CHOCOLATE COLOR. “The powder isa dark chocolate color,” said the inventor, ‘and is absolutely noiseless and smokeless, and gives off no odor nor gas, The powder used for the heavy guns at the sham attle and which the papers said gave off such noxious vapors was another kind made in Germany aud not mine, which was used only for the small arms. I should be only too glad to allow the United States to use this powder, and if arrangements can be made will do so, but if the letter sent by Von Auderlitch on the 12th holds as a notice it will be impossible to go further with any negotiation with the govern- ment.” Capt. Ellsworth had prepared a letter to See- retary Proctor asking that the powder be tested with the view of purchase, but it is rather doubtful whether the letter will now be sent. In the letter he says that Hennover during the sham battle 17,000 rounds were used by the troops with perfect success, and he desires that three separete triais be made by the department, one with small arms, the second with field artillery and the third with heavy guns, AN OLD INDIAN WORKSHOP. A Rich Discovery of Aboriginal Relics Made in the District. The geological survey, through Prof. W. H. Holmes, has recently made some most import- ant discoveries of Indian relics just west of Washington on what is known as Piney Branch hill. ‘The find appears to be the remains of an indian workshop for the manufacture of im- plements, weapons, &c. The spot has been excavated and jmplements have been found clear to the bed rock. The discovery is consid- ered to be of the greatest importance by archw- ologists. It carries our knowledge of the an- cient inhabitants of this locality much further vious discoveries, These nts found, it is said, go back to the paleolithic age and show the coun- try to have been inhabited at a much earlier period than has been generally supposed, _Im- plements of this class have never before been found exeept upon the surface, and it has al- ways been a question among scientists as to what they referred.

The Cronin Case is Now All a Matter of Credibility of Witnesses, Cxrcaao, Nov. 19.—Jeremiah Hyland yester- day had scarcely got through telling the Cronin jury of his visit to Nieman’s Ashland avenue saloon on the night of May 5, in company with O'Sullivan and James Hyland, when a young man stepped into the court room and looked him over from head to foot. man and he examined the witness as lly and cautiously as he did Kunze and Loxpoy, Nov. 19.—A story was in circulation last night to the effect that the leaders of the Brazilian revolution went to the emperor prior to the uprising, and representing the strength of the republican sentiment in the empire, asked him to throw the weight of his influence upon the side of the democracy, in return for which his majesty was promised the presidency of the reconstructed government. proposal Dom Pedro is said to have given an indignant answer in the negative, declaring that while he recognized the increase of re- an sentiment throughout the empire and foresaw the ultimate establishment of a demo- cratic government in Brazil, he would counte- nance no attempt to hasten the event by revo- Ifthe people desired to try the experiment of a republic through a ple- biscite, he was ready to abdicate, but on no ac- count would he associate himself with revolu- tionists. A member of the Brazilian legation was asked his opinion as to the truth of the re- port this morning, and said: “Our information as tothe details of the revolution are very meager and unsatisfactory as yet. prepared to believe the story in toto, yet there may be some truth in it; certainly there is as far as the refusal of the emperor to assist in upsetting his own government in order to be- come the nominal head of a new and experi- mental one is concerned. The men who con- stitute the new government are not recognized leaders in the country, and though they enjoy acertain degree of prominence at the capital, they are little if at all known in the provinces, We hear that the country is peaceful and that the provinces have acquiesced in the forma- Possibly they have, but I venture the assertion that they will resent the action of the revolutionistsin overthrowing the empire and setting up a government of their own without consulting them. TROUBLE YET TO COME, “It will surprise me greatly if they do not take a prominent part in the events which will deal as summarily with the usurping republi- cans as the latter did with the empire. Possi- bly if they were to make an offer to Dom Pedro after his arrival in Portugal similar to that re- ported to have been made by the revolutionists he would not refuse it, The men nowin power represent a faction, not a party, and the fact that they at once abolished the chamber of deputies which was on the eve of meeting shows that they were not disposed to submit their cause to legislative approval, or, indeed, to the approval of anybody until the body pass- ing judgment might be selected by themselves. The principal thing militating against the stability of a republic in Brazil, despite the strong republican tendency in the larger towns, is the fact that the states comprise a vast area inhabited almost entirely by Indian: and half breeds as innocent of civilization as are the Arabs of the African desert, these people in even semi-subjection has re- quired a strong and uncompromising govern- ment. Once let these fellows understand that the government has been superceded by one selected by the people and they will imme- ake a hand in self-government to an extent never dreamed of by the most liberal republic in existence and the breaking up of the United States of Brazil into mdependent territories will begin. It is too early and the information at hand is too meager to warrant prediction, but this you may depend upon, whether the Brazilian republic has come to stay or the empire shall be restored the official career of the men now in power will be brief and their exit from public life will be as sud- den as their entrance.” A REPUBLIC PRO TEM. Loxpox, Nov. 19.—A dispatch from Rio Janeiro this morning states that Senhor da Fon- seca, president of the new ministry, has for- mally announced the departure of Dom Pedro for Lisbon. Senhor da Fonseca also announces that he will continue to exercise supreme exec- utive authority until the country shall have definitely decided upon a new government. Meanwhile the ordinary functions of adminis- tration will continue as under the old regime. ‘The dispatches yesterday had a reassuring effect in financial circles. Brazilian securities on the London stock exchange today recovered much of the ground lost yesterday, and are quoted from 2 to 3 points higher than last fight for the An effort is bei: i said Capt.
