LOUIS WANTS THE FAIR, Dr. Valente’s Hopeful View of the Situ- | And Has Her Committee Here to Pre- ation—The Question of Recognition. Dr. Valente, the Brazilian minister, has not yet been officially requested to ask the United States government to recognize the United States of Brazil, He believes that such a re- quest will not be made immediately, but that the new government will wait a reasonable length of time in order to satisfy the world of its stability before seeking formal recognition. THE REPUBLICAN MANIFESTO, The minister regards the views of the domi- nant republicans, as set forth in their mani- festo as most reasonable in all respects and as they have assumed all of the obligations and debts of the empire and have guaranteed the fullest measure of protection and personal liberty to the citizens of other nations residing in Brazil, as well as security to their vested in- terests, he cannot see any excuse for dissatis- — abroad at the recent change. In his view A CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION must be assembled in Brazil at the earliest pos- sible moment. This body will probably read- just the boundaries or representation of the twenty existing provinces, which vary largely in size and density of population. ‘The senate will also have to be reconstructed. Its abo- lition as the first act of the revolutionists has been misunderstood as tending toward des- potism. Asa matter of fact, said Dr, Valente, itwas a liberal movement, as will be under- stood when it is generally known that the sen- ators under the old regime were clected for life and, it has been asserted, did not always continue to reflect the views of their constitu- ents, The minister also looks forward to the extension of THE RIGHT OF SUFFRA by the constitutional convention. At present, in addition to the ordinary requirements of age, citizenship, &c., the voter must be pos- sessed of an income of not less than $200 per annum. This requirement has been liberally construed, yet there is a demand for its aboli- tion, _ Because of the mixed character of the population of Brazil, the mimister believes that 1t would hardly be wise to have unrestricted suffrage at present, but favors the imposition of arequirement that after a period of four years from the date of the adoption of the new constitution voters must at least be able to write their names or read. This, he believes, would stimulate popular education and cause the uneducated people toavail themselves of the free schools, which already abound in Brazil. Altogether, Dr. Valente takes a most hopeful view of the situation. “It is not the destruction of the building,” said he, ‘‘but rather a renovation.” NO NEWS AT THE STATE DEPARTMENT TODAY. Up to 1 o'clock this afternoon no official in- formation had been received at the Depart- ment of State frum Brazil, It was said that no ositive instructions had been sent to Minister dams to recognize the new republic. The | policy of this government for more than 100 Years, it was explained, had been to maintain, through its representatives, ami- cable relations with the defacto government, but that is an entirely different matter viewed from the standpoint of a diplomat, from a for- From the foregoing the attitude of the United States minister to Brazil may be inferred. A cablegram was received by Minister Valente from London last night, stating that the provisional government appears to have in- spired confidence and that perfect quiet reigns. iplomats from other South American coun- tries believe the republic of Brazil isan as- sured and immovable fact, but doubt has been expressed in several quarters as to the stability of the movement. Those who doubt are prin- cipally citizens of the United States who have been residents of Brazil. PENSION OFFICE CHANGES. Gen. Raum Appoints His Son as Head of a New Division. Some important changes in the clerical force of the pension office were decided upon today by Commissioner Raum, Richard A. Durnan of Indiana was made chief of the mail division. This place was held by Dr. Warman, a warm personal friend of Rev. Dr. Scott, the father-in- law of President Harrison, Dr. Scott was for years and up to the 4th of March last a clerk in the pension office and it was through his influ- ence, it is said, that Corporal Tanner promoted Dr. Warman from the examining corps to the head of the mail division, taking the place of Mr. Gitt. Gen. Raum intends to strengthen the medical division and for this reason, he says, he has transferred Dr. Warman from the head of the mail division to the medical division, Mr, Durnan, up to the time of hse bear iP psmygesits held the onition of confidential clerk to United States ‘reasurer Huston, and when Miss Tanner, who held a similar position in the pension office, ran a it was arranged that she should take Mr. Durnan’s place at the Treasury do- partment and this arrangement has been carried out, ASSISTANT CHIEF CLERK REEVE SHIFTED, Gen. Raum has also transferred the assistant chief clerk, Hamilton Reeve, to the position of superintendent of thefbuilding in place of Capt. Henry Filler, who recently received that ap- ointment, and who has now been transferred oe clerical ition. Mr. Reeve is from Brooklyn, N. Y., and held the position of chief clerk of the office of collector of taxes in Brook- lyn when Corporal Tanner was collector. The latter appointed Mr. Reeve to his position in the pension office. The vacancy will be filled by the Ge some of Green B. Raum, jr., the son of Gen. Raum, and he will be placed at the head of a new division, which willbe known as the appointment division, All papers relating to appointments will be filed inthis division, which is the custom now, only the division will be known as the appointinent division, and not that of assistant chief clerk. The salary of the position is $2,000, NO PLACE TO SOLICIT MONEY. Gen. Raum today put a stop to the practice which has been in vogue for some time of two sisters from the Little Sisters of the Poor,a charitable Catholic institution in this city, tak- ing their position on pay days near the pay oftice, where all the clerks go for their semi- monthly pay. They hold a box in their hands to receive the contributions of those who desire to give something. Gen. Raum, however, came to the conclusion that it was hardly proper to allow this to be done in a ublic building where all solicitation of money, » are strictly prohibited. He told two of the sisters who came to see him today that he was much interested in their work and that he would personally contribute each month as he had done in the past. He could not, however, allow them to stand in the building as they had been doing. He told them that one institution had as much right to have their representatives in the department for such a purpose as another,and of course he added that a number of such solicitors in the department would be objectionable in itself. The sisters didnot seem to consider the commissioner's action satisfactory, but they took his contribu- tion of money and went away. Gen. Raum said afterward that he was sorry for some rea- | sons to take this course, but he felt that it was right and he was now in a position to enforce the rules without partiality to any one, pv ask Se Army Changes, Promotions.—Capt.

THEY THINK NEW YORK DOESN'T WANT THE EX- POSITION, AND THAT ST. LOUIS 15 AHEAD OF CHICAGO—SURPRISED TO FIND WASHINGTON BAS SUCH STRENGTH IN THE CONTEST. Gov. Francis and Col. C. H. Jones, editor St. Louis Republic, now in this city, have some very important work on hand. They propose to have the world’s fair at St. Louis in'92 if possible. They have been and are doing some effective work and believe that they are ahead of Chicago in the race, and that New York is not atalllikely to get the fair, They will formally open their headquarters at Willard’s tonight, and their claim to the fair will be actively pressed before Congress until the quee- tion is settled. MERELY PRESENTING THEIR CLATMS, “Weare not making war on other cities,” Col. Jones said to a reporter of Tue Star. “We are merely presenting the claims of St Louis as strongly as we know how. We think itis the best place for the fair, being the center of population and possessing many other advantages, and we believe we are goin; get the Quiet and effective work is what we have been doing. With all the noise Chicago hus made (I will not say anythin against that city’s efforts) she does not lead, us in the race af all. We started out to raise $5,000,000. We have $4,500,000 now and will have the rest before Con, meets, This money is not merely in the form of a contin- gent subscription. The paper was drawn by one of the best lawyers in the state, an every man who signs it subscribes for so much stock, as he would in any stock company, and itis a business transaction by which he is bound without any contingency or reservation. Thus far we havo not taken up any personal contributions. The stock has been subscribed to by big firms and business corporations. As to our work with Congressmen I think there hasbeen none more effective or thorough. bee has no advantage over us in the num- ber of supporters she has in Congress.” THINKS NEW YORK DOESN'T WANT THE FAIR, Speaking of New York he said that the people of that great city did not especially want the fair. He and Gov. Francis had just been there looking over the situation and they were con- vinced of this, “Ofcourse,” he said, ‘there are certain parties who are working for the fair, but I am satisfied that the prevailing feeling approaches indifference. As a great big city they rather expect to get it by the force of gravitation, and they are ready to take care of it inthe best way they know how if it should come to them; but there is not the feeling that will lead them to a determined fight for it, As to St. Louis,” he added, “we intend that she shall have the fair if we can get it for her, and we believe she has the best chance; but we do not feel that if we fail no one else shall have it, When our committee goes back home after the matter ia settled they will be received at the depot with music, and the citi- zens of St. Louis will take off their bats and wave them for the city that is victorious; and more than that, they will do all in their power to make the celebration a success, wherever it goes, HOW ABOUT WASHINGTON, The reporter asked, “How about Washing- ton?” “Some how, when we left St. Louis we felt that Washington was practically out of the fight. We are surprised to Ree how far from true that is. Washington appears to have greater strength than we thought, But we think St. Louis is the place where the fair will be heid.” ——_—--— DANCING AND THE PLAY. Forms of Pleasure Condemned by the Baptist Association. RESOLUTIONS ON THE EVILS OF INTEMPERANCE— THE LICENCE SYSTEM DENOUNCED—TRE 8ES- SION AT THE E-STREET CHURCH TODAY, Drinking, card playing, dancing and theater going all received attention at the morning session of the Columbia association of Baptist churches,which continued its session at the E Street church today. Many delegates were present, fully half being ladies, INTOXICANTS AND CRIME. The committee on total abstinence offered resolutions which were adopted: “That we believe the Gospel of Christ and the grace of God to be the only effective means of saving men out of the sin of intemperance, and that our churches ought to use constant efforts to reach and save the victims of this great sin.” “That as an association we express our una- bated interest in temperance reform and pledge ourselves to use every proper means, both moral and legal, to suppress the iniquitous traffic in intoxicating liquors, and to remove the manifold and terrible evils of intemper- ance. “That we earnestly protestagainst the action of our national Congress in allowing to exist in the District of Columbia a system of license laws which sustains the sale of intoxicating drinks to the great detriment of the best in- terests of the people, and that we hold our law- makers in alarge measure responsible for the frequent and shocking murders which, as the resultof intemperance, have recently tarnished the fair name of our beautiful capital city. “That we regard the use, moderate or other- wise, of intoxicating drinks asa beverage on the part of church members as a violation of their most solemn ee and asin against both God and man, ling for prompt rebuke and discipline.” These resolutions were discussed by Mr. George Bowman, Mr. Salmon Richards called attention to the action of the Commissioners in offering to license four saloons on each square and characterized this as four too many, Rev. R. M. Luther, D.D., also addressed the convention, DANCING, CARD PLAYING AND THEATER GOING, Considerable of a sensation was created by a resolution offered by Mr. Jos, Walker, which read: “Resolved, That we Feros the members of churches composing this body to abstain from and to discourage the habits of dancing, card Piszing and attending the theater.” Mr. ‘alker characterized these habits as worse than intemperance and called upon the church to put down the evils. ev. C. C. Meador denied that card playing, dancing and theater going were so prevalent among the members, but said that he never knew oa preg who habitually played cards and attended the theater who was a good conscien- tious Christian. ? Mr. Walker asked Mr. Meador how he stood on GOING To THE CIRCUBES? Mr. Walker said he once went to a conference of ministers, but that on urriving at the meet- ing place he found all the ministers gone to the circus. Rev.

Rathbone, whose critical illness is reported in a telegram from Lima, Ohio, pub- lished in Tux Stax today, is well-known in this city as the founder and passed grand chanceller of the order of Knights of Pythias, He is about fifty years of age and wasa son of the late Judge Rathbone of Albany, N.Y. He was in the army during the war, but settled here afterward and accepted @ position in the War department. Some years ago he called a number of friends together and read to them the draft of a work for a secret order founded on the | story of Damon and Pythias, and the result was that they organized a lodge from which has spread a large and influential order, the Knights of Pythias, having lodges in every state and territory and in many foreign | countries, He is also prominent in the order of Elks and a well-known member of the Masonic order. He is aman of very versatile talents, quite an actor for a non-professional, and is the author of a clever burlesque play *Pocahontas,” and was frequently a contribu- tor to some of the magazines and newspapers, For some years he re- sided in the West End and up to about four years since lived near Lanham’'s in Prince George county, Md., but of late had his home in Alexandria, Va., where he lost his wife last winter. He resigned his place in the War de- partment some months ugo and went ona lecturing tour in the interests of the Knights of Pythias in the south and had recently been on a similar tour in the west. His two daugh- ters reside in his Alexandria home. ——=—— Looking for the Heir to a Fortnne.

Holtzman, in block 724, have reported that they cannot well be re- paired, which means that On the Shepherd road, not far from Bright- wood, is situated what is known as “the wine- house.” It ison an elevation, and the side of the hill is covered with a vineyard, the fruit of which is made iuto wine and served to cus- tomers by a fair waitress, Every one who visits the house knows ‘Miss Rosie.” The house has never had a license. because it was not thought | one was required, the grape being raised and | the wing manufactured on the premises Mr. Keen, the superintendent of Brightwood schools, complained against the place some time ago, jowever, because of the number of persons who visited | it for refreshment on Sundays while out driv- ing.

This morning Rosie Arnold appeared before Judge Miller to defend a charge of violating an ordinance of the late levy court, Lawyer | Closs explained how the wine was manuiac- | tured in @ manner that made many of the spec- tators feel thirsty.

The question of the intoxicating qualities of the wine was discussed, and the judge quoted from the Bible, ‘Wine is a mocker.” The case was continued until Saturday in order to give the defense an opportunity to offer proof as to the manner in w! the wine is made and also &s to its effects, pieces The St. Patrick’s Cemetery Condemna- tion, The District of Columbia has, by Mr. Riddle, filed bill of interpleader against Cardinal Archbishop Gibbons et al. The bill states that in the extension of R street it became neces- St. Patrick's cemetery; that the fee of said land was in Ann Cassanave and wasin 1908 conveyed to Right Rev, John Carroll “for the use of the said Roman Catholics and to their proper use and behalf as a grave yard and no other intent nares "and the title is now in Cardinal Gibbons; that a jury was empaneled in the condemnation proceedings and the dam- ages were assessed at $3,500; that the heirs of the grantor, Johanna H. Young et al., claim to be the owners of the fee and protest against the payment to said Gibbons on the ground that he has no title thatcan be appropriated for a public street, aud the same has reverted to them.

Two hundred auxiliaries are grouped on the stage at times, Mr. Barrett is said to have found his ideal character in this part, ‘The story of *‘Ganclon” is drawn from the old Corsican legend, “In these days came to this isle Ganelon, son of that Ganclon who, at Roncesvelles, betrayed the Paladins of Charle- magne, and it was his hope by deeds of gal- lantry against the Saracens—to whom bis father hadsold himself—to redeem from in- famy his hapless name.” *‘Ganelon” will be pro- duced during the week with a special matinee on Thanksgiving day, Sale of seats opens to- morrow.
