Ri0 JANEIRO, Nov. 10.-~1ho manifesto of the republivan government of Brazil is as follows: Fellow Citizens—The people, the army and the nayy and provinces have now decreed the fall of the imperial dynasty and the sup- pression of the monoechical system. This revolution has been followed by the formation of a provisional government whoso first mission is to guaranty the ordet, liborty and rights of citizens. The formation of this government, until the definite government has. been named, has been made with foll regard to the most competent material. The government is simply composed of temporary agents, who will govern and maintain peace, liberty, fra- ternity and order. The attributes and extra orainary faculties nvested are for the de- ity of tho country and tho preservation of bublic order. The provincial government promises to use all means in its power to guarantee security of lifo and property to all the inhabitants of Bras native and foreign, and respect for inaivid ual political opinions, excepting the exigent moditications necessary for the good of the country. Tiie army and navy,the ordinary functions of the department of justice and the civil and military administrations will continue under their existing organmizations, und respect for those holding the positions will be main- tained, ‘Iho senate and state countil are abolished and the chamber of deputies 1s dissolved. The provisional government recognizes and acknowledges all nationul compromises under the late government and all ngrec- ments with foreign powers, the public debt, fnternational and internal, will be respectod also, all existing contracts and_ oblizations logully made. SENOR DE FONSEC Chief of the Provisional Government. The Republic Secure, ‘WasmNGTON, Nov. 19.—The Brazilian min- ister to-night received a dispatch via London saying theBrazilian Bank of Rio Janiero telegraphs the Brazilian Bank of London that perfect quiet reigns. The republic is accepted by Rio Jamero and the northern and southiern provinces, The general opinion is that the republic iy quite secure. The minister thought the Hamberg report of bloodshed was nonsense. He isquite well l:lflslhxd that there will not be any blood- shed. “T'he manifesto you have just read me is very liberal, ‘Lhe provisional government will mamtain order until a new election :.:lml’ place, when the voters can decids mat- T8, He did not think there would be any dis- integration of Brazilian territor, “I look upon the republic,” added the minister, “as an accomplishad fact.” The state department has instructed the United Siates representatives at Rio Janeiro to keep ic well informed of affairs in Brazil, It is closely watching the progress of events, No instructions as yev have been tas to the recognition of the new government. A Fair Frosprer, New Youx, Nov. 19,—Charles R. Flint, who arrived here from Washington this morning, where he has been attending the American congress, received two cablegrams from brazil. One was from a mercantile houscin Parn and stated that Brazil was tranguil, but that the revolution muy cause trouble later on, The other cable was from Rio Janeiro, and confirmed the published re- rts abous the departure of the imperial amily and the proclamation of the republic. This cable also stated that the present goy- erment would carry out the obligations of the imperial governwent, and that thero was hkely to be o peaceful solution of all the dif- flcuities, Queen Vicioria's sympathy, LCopuright 1589 by James Gordon Bennett.] LoxNpoN, Nov. 10.—|New Yorir Herald Cable—Svecial to Tng Bee.l—The queen has been in telegraphic communication with the Duc d'Nemours, the father of the Comte d'Eu, the consort of the princess imperial of Brazil.

The Great Spaniard Sees tho Thrones of Europe Tottering, LCopyright 1859 by James Gordon Bennas.l Pauts, Nov, 10.—| New York Herald Cable —Special to Tus Bra)--"f aw not in the least surprised o kuow that Brazil Las at last decided for a republic,” said Emilio Cas- selar, the great Spanish statesman, to we to- day. “In fact, my only wouoder is that she did not do so sgoner. It is ouly a fewyWweeks since Lassured o promivent French states- man that the tendeney in Brazil was irvesist- Ably w that direction. To one who hus, as I have, studied the condition of things in South Awerica, it has long been apparent that the thinking classes there were too deeply imbued with the spirit of republicavism to wake avy other forw of government more than temporary Dom Pedro has always tried to conceal this fact from Europe, aud he had wmore or less succeeded. Tt is simply ridiculons to claim that the revolution in Brazil was due to the recent abolition of slavery, for the men who have had the most to do with overthrowing the empire are precisely the ones who brought about the liberation of the slaves, and in both cases they were simply acting in accordance with the enlightened ideas of the centu “As to the effect this revolution will have upon Portugal, while [ do not feel justified in prophesying that it will lead to the estab- lishent of a republic in that country, I an convinced it will have a direct and marked effect in liberalizing the policy of the Portu- guese monarchy. The two nations are really one, with the same language, customs and tendencies, and the action of Brazil cannot but react powerfully upon Porwugal. Be- sides I have reason Lo know that many of the most influential and able Portuguese writers and orators—such men as Latino, Coelho ana Boeossio Braza—are heart and soul in favor of a republi “In Spain I think the immediate effect of the South American upheaval will be less marked. Were wo under a conservative monarch unpopular with the masses, I should think aifferently, but the government of Spain is very liberal and 1sof its own ac- cord approaching the point where republi- camsm will assert itself as a matter of course by the universal consent of the people. There is no need of precipitating the movement, but ull the countries of Europe may well find food for reflection in this almost unprecedented event. “Think of They awalke in the morning, these tottering relics of worn out absolutism, and find that a nation almostas large as all of them put together has in the twinkling of an eye, and without violence, changed from empire to a republic. “I'he revolution is over, and a new order of things is established before they are aware that the old ovder was compromised, or that d revolution was threatened. Curis ous, is itnot? And they may at least open their eyes to the fact that mankind has en- tered upon an era of reason, and are no longer t be driven against their fellows in murderous herds and slaughtered by thousands like unreasoning brutes to suit the caprice of some vain auto- crat who boasts that God made him their master. The sway of the autocrat on the old continent is nearly over. If there is any one thing I velieve with all my heart, it is that Lefore fifty years Europe will be republican from end to end, and I believe the change will be brought about without the horrors of war as easily as it has just been brought about in Brazil, as naturaily as a man lays aside one coat and puts on another because he likkes the other better. The peoples of Eu- rope are growing wiser every year and sce- ing better what are their real interests. They will one day say to their kings, queens, emperors and princes ‘“‘We are masters bere, and this country is ours not yours. There is the door; go.’ And then the kiugs, queens, emperors and princes will go, and it will be a beautiful sight. You look incredulous, and think me Utopian, but what would you have thought had 1 told you a week ago that to-day Brazil would bearepublic. As I said, I velieve that these great changes will be accom- plisned without war, nor do I believe Europe is now threatened with war.” ————— HARRIET BELCHER STOWE Hopelessly Insane and Beyond All Ald of Physicians, Hartrorp, Conn., Nov. 19.—[Special Tele- gram to Tup Bee.]—The friends of Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe, the fawous authoress of **Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” have at length been compelled to admit that she has tinally be- come hopelessly insane and her end is a mat- ter of buta short time. She has been now in this condition for several months, but though thousands saw ber dally few really knew her real condition. Strange to say, while her mind becomes weaker her physical condition steadily improves, ond now at- tenaed by a nurse who never leaves her for # moment, she wanders around spend- g most of her time in pleasant weather out in the open air in the park. Her malady is inoffensive suve that sho is constautly haunted by shad- ows of her dead friends, and is constantly whispering to these visions, believing them reul, which ghastly conduct is any thing but pleasant to her attendants. When not thus engaged she is singing some old hvmn popu- lar fifty years ago, “Rock of Ages’ being ber favorite. Her physicians say sho is be- vond all aid and wi!l gradually lose all her Taciuties, dying, most probably, some time while asleep. A WHOLE MOB. Twenty-Seven ianaas Men Arraigned For Murder. Kaxsas Ciry, Nov, 19.—A special from To- peka, Kan., says tho twenty-seven Stovens county men who composed the mob which a year ago murdored o sheriff in No-man’s land during a county seat war, were ar- raigned before the United States distriot court to-day, The United States attorney made application for their removal to the United States court for the eastern district of Texas, indictments having been returned against them by the grand jury there, The defense argued that the territory was under the jurisdiction of no court. This question is an important one, inasmuch as it affects the title of the United States to No-man's land, and the validity of several Indian treutics made many years ago. Arguments on all the questions will continue for two or three duys. s FORGED BY THE WHOLESALE. Barrett the Handiest Man With His Pen Ohio Hus Ever Known. CreveLAND, O., Nov. 19.—Developments in the case of B, 8. Barrett indicate that he conducted the most colossal system of forgery in the history of the state. Notes were made by the whoiesale and disposed of in all directions. Barrett’s oberations were con- ducted with consummate skill.

OMAHA, WEDNESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER JUDGE EDGERTON APPOINTED. ; Sterling Made Attorney For the South Dakota District. THE SPEAKERSHIP OUTLOOK, Reed's Friends Accused of Blafing —The Hoges That lnspire Some of His Backers—A Former Bee Man in Luck, 513 FoURTEENTH STRERT, Wasnisaton, D. C, Nov, 10. Governor Mellutte, of South Dakota, is in most excellent humor to-night. He came here ten days ago with bag and baggage and announced to the department of justice, the white house and other places that he did vot intend to return to his home until ex-Senator A. J. Edgerton, of Mitchell, was appointod United States district judge for the district of South Dakota, The governor has been doing some very hard work and has been as- sisted by Senators Pettigrew and Moody, who were also greatly in earnest about the appointment of Edgerton, which was made by President Harrison this evening Julge Edgerton's selection will give uni- veraal satisfaction throughout not only South Dakota, but the entire northwest, where nis sterling manhood and his incessant and invaluable services in behalf of statenood for the Dakotas are well known. Judge Edgerton could have been United States senator, it 1s said, in place of Senator Moody, but he proferred the posi- tion to which he was appointed this avening, as 1t fixes tim for life, and he is a man with- out much financial means. The uppointment of William B. Sterling, of Redtleld, 1 be attorney for the United States district of South Dakota is also a Mellette appointment. Mr, Sterling is lo- cated a short aistance west of Guvernor Mellette's home, and for many years Las been his intimato personal and political friend and assisted largely to bring about his political and other triumphs. Iv was.decided to-day vhat Judee John H. Drake, of Aberdeen, S. 1., is to be appointed national bank examiner for that district, composed of the two Dakotas, northern Ne- braska and Wyominz. Judge Drake was endorsed by the solid delegations for the two Dakotas, tho governors, the republican state committee, the constitutional convention and many iufluential citizens on the outside. He had enough political influence to secure a cabinet office. Therefwere some objections from Aberdeen, but they appear to have only added strength to the applicant, A FORMER BEE MAX. As foreshadowed by Tue I last night, Willis Sweet, one of 1 5E'S former editorial writers, was to-day ap- pointed to be associate justice of thesupreme court for the territory of Idato. 'Yhis ap- pointment was mado upon the merits of Mr. Sweet and the urgent request of Delegate Dubois, Wisminaron Bunresv Tie Ovans Bree, } THE SPEAKERSHIP. The arrival of the Nebraska delegation is looked for avxiously by the speakership can- didates. Especially is the coming of Mr, Dorsey awaited with anxiety, as he 1s sad 1o take an active interest in the canvass, Major McKinley relies upon Mr. Dorsey's assistance and hopes to get the supvort of Messrs. Connell and Laws. Mr. Dorsey bas written to Tuax Bge cor- respondent that he will arrive here during the present wéek and will be accompanied by Mrs. Dorsey. They will live at the Port- land, where Senator Paddock and family are located, and where Mr. and Nirs. Aunin have taken apartments. Thero is every indication now that there will be a practically solid combination of the west and south against Mr. Reed. 1t developes that the Reed men have been “blufting,” and that their policy is to claim everything in sight. Major McKinley says that Mr. Reed will not have solid delegations from New York and Penusylvania, and there are reasons to believe that the Maine man has claimed too much, and that as he is compelied to drop point after point he will find that his ciaums have augered ill for him and the reaction will do him harm. The policies of the four western candidates have been diametrically opposed to those of Mr. Reed. They have beeu extremely mod- est and have contended that the boasting of the Reed men would do their candidate harm assoon as it was shown that they were claiming beyond warrant, ‘The speakership situation to-night is some- what mixed. Thereis no doubt that Mr. Reed is right vow far in the lead for the first ballot, The feeling on the part of the west and south agamst him is growing more and more, and positive and united efforts will be made to divide his solid east. Mr. Reed has been claiming a solid support, from the two Dakotas’ throe votes. \l;la will not, it is said, gev one of these mem- ers, In the Forty-seventh congress, eight years ago, Mr. Burrows. of Michigan, was chair- man of the committee on territories, and prepzred a bill providing for the division of Dakota and the admission to statehood of the two sections the sawe s they were a few days ago, The committee agreed to report the bill favorably, but just before the time when Mr. Burrows intended to pre- sent the measure to the houso Mr. Keed approached him with a law- yer from Maine and stated _that his constituents hud a large block of Yank- ton county railrcad bonds which were be- lieved to be fraudulent, that unless those bonds were paid or secured the credit of Da- kota would be exposed by him on the floor of the house and there would be no legisiation in favor of the territory. Those who ure conversant with the incident say that this action had the effect of keeping the Dakotas out of statehood from 1882 till last mouth, In the face of this it is not presumed that any one of the wembers from Dakota will give countenanco to Mr. Reed’s candidacy, SOMB OF REED'S SUPPORTERS, One of the most ardent workers in behalf of Mr, Reed for the sveskership is Con- gressman Dalzell, of Pittsburg, Mr. Dalzell wants to be chairman of the house committee on Pacific railroads. In the last congress he was a member of this committee and stood pext to tail end of it. By the retirement of Holmes of Towa, Webber of New York and Granger of Connecticut, Mr, Dalzell now stands at the head of the republican list on the committee, aud should Mr. Reed be se- lected speaker he would undoubtedly be made chairman, ‘The chairmanship of the Pacific railroads committes will be important 1o the Fifty- first congress from the fact that the proposi- tion to extend for a long period of years, more than half a century, the time within hall pay their indebtoness to the government will agam come up for consideratio A number of Mr. Reéd’s most ardent sup- portors expect 10 be chairmen. of comumlt: tees. Henry Cabot Lodgze, of Massachu- setts, is at the head of Mr, Reod’s campaign, but it is not yet known where he is to b6 placed, altaough a large number of other members have been provided for, according to reports. THEY MUST REPORT. Some time ago Commissioner of Railroads Taylor rendered a decision requiring the Chicago & Northwestern, the Omaha, the Manitoba and the Chicago, Milwaukee & St, Paul railroad companies, which have land grants given them by Nebraska and other #tates, to make reports to the interior de- partment coucerning their eonoition, the same as railroads which received land subsi- dies from the federal government. All the officers of these roads have con- tended that they were not to report to the commissioner of railroads, as are companies which have received grants of land from the foderal government, on the ground that the interests of the federal government were in no way involved as in other land grants. Commissioner Taylor in his decision held that the lands granted thece railroads were the same as lands granted to other railroads durectly by the governmept, since the states granting the lands secured' them from the federal govornment with the understanding were given in ald of railroad con- .

LAND OFFICE DECISIONS, Commissioner Groff and Assist missioner Stona, of the gen, rendered some decisions to-day affectin, braska land cases, Commissioner Groft dismissed the appeal of Commodore Cash, who contested the homestead entry of Charlotte Finney 1nvoly- ing the southwest 1{ of section b, township 23" north, range 50 west, in the Chudron district. The local oficers rojected the ap- plication of Cash for a contest and he took an appeal to the commissioner. The com- missioner reversed the decision of the iocal officers of the McCook land aistrict and held for cancellation the cash_entry of Cyrus L. Fuller covering the northeast i of section 33, township 4 north, range37 west. The commissioner states that the claimant never estabiished a residence on the entry. Assistant Commissioner Stone informs R.

They vroperly declined to issue the final cer- tificute till the matter was disposed of by the office and final proof returned to them for further action. Absence from the land would not prejudice your interest.” Mr. Stone has notified Michael Majawski, of Eustis,Neb., that he must apply to the local land oficers for an extension of timo in which to make final proof.
