NINETEENTH YBEAR. STANLEY REACHES NPWAPWA Intelligence of the Safoty of the Intrepid Explorer. REJOICING OVER THE NEWS. A Story Current that Dom Pedro Himself Labored to Bring About His Own Downfal General Foreign News, News of Stanley's Safer [Comyr (gt 1:90 by James Gordon Bennett,| Loxpoy, Nov, 20.—|New York Herald Cable—Special to Tne Bre, |—The Standard publishes this (Thursday) morning the fol- lowing dispatch from its Berlin correspond- ent, dated midnight: “1 have just been informed ata late hour that the Emin relief committeo has received the welcomo intelligence ot the safe arrival of Mr. Stanley, Emin Pasha and their Euro- pean comrades at Mpwapwa, in the territory of the German East Africa protecturate. It will be remembered that Captaiv Wissman calculated on the information to hand avout three wecks ago that Kmin would reach Mpwapwa today. That he has arrived there #0 much sooner wouid imply that the convoy has met with few or no obstacles on its march to the coast. The pasha's safoty has been hailed with greater relief for the reason that owing to an unfortunate telegraphic er- ror it was at first believed he had perished. In the first telegram from Zanzibar ro- ceived by the committee it was stated that Emin bad ‘vmgekommen'—died. In- quiry showed that the word sbould have been ‘angekommen’--arrived. The dismay caused by this mistake was naturally groat, especiully us the cmperor wus reported to have had confirmation of the sad news from the imperial commissioners, His mujesty was said to bave at once communicated with the relief committee, and to have evinced the deepest emotion, The tidings in this erroneous form were regarded as more mel- ancholy, They were held to contirm the news of Dr. Peters’ murder. Moreover, it seemed doubly tragic that the courageous governor of the equatorial province should have perished after all his w.nderings and dangers when almost within sight of home, and on the borders of German territorf. Such a mistake was soon discovered, and has only served to enhance the general re- joicing over the pasha's safety.” gt DOM PEDRO'S DEPOSITION, A Story That he Himselt Worked to Bring it About. LCopuright 1589 by James Gordon Bennatt.) LoxnoN, Nov. 20.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to Tur Bre] — A curious story connected with the Brazilian revolu- tion is obtaining currency in dinlomatic so- clety. Dom Pedrowas, it is said, himsc the prime mover in hir own deposition. He had endeavored to resist his son-in-law's active hostility to the anti-clerical party and had other reasons to be dissatisfled with him. Furthermore, his ministry was by no means ignorant of the popular movement. Ho felt that i1'he should outlive tho republican ad- vance his daughter would be unable to cope with it, moro particularly under the pernicious guidanco of her husband. He therofore, like a wise and philosophic mon- arch, anticipated the inevitable, and thus at least saved prospeative bloodstied, which ho felt would have come with his resistance, if not in his time, certainly in that of his suc- cassor, hence his easy and calm acceptanco of the situation. e e Ll The First Chapter.

Stoelss aro rising. e A Brazilian Naval Captain Talks, LCopyright 1889 by James Gordon Bennett.] Prysovrn, Nov. 20.—|New York Herald Cable— Special to Tne Bee.| — Captain Chauyer of tho Brazilian man-of-war Norvin, said to mo today that the news of the revo- lution came to him us & great surprise, He bad rocelved o telegram from tho legation in London anuouncing the establishment of a republic, and that the present minister to Great Britain would be coufirmed in his post and all contracts entered into would be acknowledged by the new administra- tion. The celerity with which the gmperor left for Europe and with which a pension of £89,000 had been agreed to looked as if there had been @ pre- arrangement. The emperor was a philoso- pher and not a ruler, but he was surprised that he did not refuse to recoive a pension under such circumstances. Captain Chuver holds a high opinion of Deodera Da Fonseca and said he was greatly respected through- out the couutry and had immense influgnce with tho army. Captaia Chuver has pre- pared a new flag according to the description telegraphed, but will not hoist it uutil it is recognized by the powers, as, if he did, he might be regarded as @ pirate, He be- lieved that the United States of Brazil would keep together and not break up into swaller republics. Several of the officers of the ship expressea themselves more freely. The revolution ‘Was no surprise to them, and the ship's com- pany did not hesitate to express joy at the abolition of the crown from thewr hats and buttons, The officers genorally believed the effect would be to increase the prosperity of the country, as the poorer and oullying provinces, which are at present heavily taxed, will be able to regulato their own ex- itures. The ship will remain at Ply- uth until the captain receives swiling or- ders from the new government, st il . Left Rio Janeiro Monday.

LONDON'S LATEST SCANDAL. Rumors That Forebode Futare Sens sational Developments. {Covyright 1859 by James Gord Loxpox, Nov. 3 Cable—Special to Tue Bee.]—If half the stories afioat are true, London is to have a trial that will develop details as disgusting as those of the Dublin scandal. The latter was brought into court through a libel suit brought against the United Ireland by Sec- retary Cornwall of the general postoftice in Ireland. He had said that Ireland was no longer @ fit place for © gentleman, United Ireland promptly replied hat it would be a rather fine thing for the country if ne and his kind cleared out, at the same time hinting broadly at practices of which inspectors of the French head of the criminal department and several others of less promi- uence were convicted. Then Cornwall brought suit and lost it. Then the govern- ment decided to prosecute, and it looks as1f that prosccution would not be the last of the kind, distasteful as the job must be. In the present instance the Earl of Euston takes the place of Secretary Cornwall, Euston is the eldest son of the duke of Grafton. He has instencted George Lowis to take crimi- nal proceedings agawst Parl, editor of the new half penny per called the North Lon- don Press, for buving stated that he was one of the principals in the Cuvandish street scandal, that o had been allowed to leave the country to defeat justice. Park is edi- tor of O'Connor’'s Star, und those who know him say ho would hardly make such allega- tions unless he beileved in his ability to Prove their truth, He is, however, mistaken on one point. Kuston did not leave the country, though it is generally understood that he was advised to do so. Others who are said to be implicated hava fled, but FEuston declared that he was innocont and stood his ground. Re- cently, however, ho has been frightfully goaded. The publication to which he objects is not the worst lash that has been apolied. Ata rocent race meeting a number of his acquaintances turned their backs on him, and untess he was willing to become ostra- cised he compelled to accept the fir: chance of trying to prove his innocence. The scandal is three montks old, and for nearly that lengta of time has been the talk of West End clubs and not a few drawing rooms. But old as it is, not a whimper of 1t appeared in the daily papers untl within o couple of weeks and then so guardedly as to be a puzle to the general public. It was too nasty to handle without the strongest justification, and it is not impossible that it would be still under cover but for a rumor that Police Commissioner Munroe had threatened to re- sign if he was further thwarted by high gov- ernment officials in his efforts to bring the alleged culprits to justice. So far only three persons have suffered for the crimes which the rumor atwributes to a dozea or more. These persons ure men named Veck and Newlove and a woman who assisted in man- aging the resort in Cavendish street. These persons were convicted ou the testimony of detectives, who wers put on the track by telograph boys who frequented the house and whose well filled pockets first attracted suspicion at police court, and at Old Bailey the proceedings were shrouded in secra All thatis known is that the prisoners were sentenced to short terms of imprisonment. It is maintained by the police ofticers that several members of the nobility were permitted to escape through tps given by government officials. It is not improbable that the names of scv- eral persons who are innocent have been mentioned as among the guilty, I under- stand that the names of Lord Arthur Som: set and Ronald Gower are bandied about as if a case against them were certain. . Ham- mond, the ostensible owner of the house, was permitted to escape, and several per- sons who would cousider it below their dignity to recognize Hammond are, hike bim, exiles. Those who fled may not feel thank- ful to Lord Euston for his course, but, as he has doubtless discovered, it was inevitable. Labouchere says in Truth today: *A no- bleman holding a position at court was im- plicated by a deposition iu a postal inquirys| that had taken place and by telegraph boys who would have been called as witnesses if the prisoner bad not pleaded guilty. He was asked by a high court offivial to explain matters, and at once fled the countr moud, owner of the houss, has also gone abroad. Warrants were subsequently issued against these two men. Iam further in- formed that the house was not let to Ham- mond, but to four gentlemen whose names are knownand are common talk at every olub, It is pretty clear that the matter can not be allowed to rest here. Very possibly many who are suspected are innoceut, and in their intorest as well as in tho public in- terest no effort should be spared to bring home the guilt to those really guilty.” WTodoy's Poll Mall Gazetto says: There is every probability of the whele noisome matter, with the names of those concerned, being brought into public cours, as every- thing turns upon a question of identity, * If tried as a cuse of mistaken identity the wit- nesses called for the defense of Mr. Park will be liable to examination and cross-ex- amination concerning every person whom they can swear they met at the house in question,” The following is from today's Truth: “There has been a direful scandal on board the Victoria and Albert owing to a trusted and highly favored petty officer being de- tected In an indiscretion of a peculiarly hein- ous deseription for which the queen would consider keel hauling light punishment, An appointment on board the royal yacht is so much coveted that it is wonderful that any one who ‘s thus employed could be soin- sauely reckless to commit himself ruin- e —— KELLEHER KNOCKED OUT, the Australian.

RUSHING MATTERS TOO MUCH. The Britons Disposed to Legislate for Satlors in a Hurried Manner— Doings of the International Conference. WasmNserox Bureau Tiae Ovana Ben, ] 519 FounTeRsxTIR STREET, Wismverox, . C,, Nov. 20, | ‘There was a decided ripple of excitement today in the session of the maritime confer- once. Everything up to the present time has passed off with wonderful smoothness and everybody hus boen congratulating them- selves on the perfect harmony which seems t0 exist. There has ben recontly a foeling, however, that the British delegation, es- pecially Mr. Hatl, have besn running tho en- tire conference. While there has been up to tho present time @ tacit consent, the opposition broke out this morn. ine. The English have been hurry- ing things with all their might, and it became kuown today that thoy bad actu- ally engaged passage for home for December 11. They have sucoceded in hurrying mate ters 80 that the discussion on the rules of the road was to have been finished today. This morning one of the French delogates, Captain Richards, aroso and protested against the hurried manner in which eve thing is being done. Ho stated that it was anoutrage thata vody of mon sitting in warm, com fortuble rooms, and enjoying the luxuries of life, should legislate in such a hurried way about the inwerests of sailors who lead the most laborious and painful life o any workmen, It was easy enough for men who never went to sea, or rather who neve r know the hardships of a sailor's life, to make rules for them, but he protested against the hurried manner in which para- graphs 7, 9 and 10 had been adopted. These paragraphs relate to the precautions chat must be adopted by masters of vesscls when caught at sea on dark or foggy nights, 1f the rulo stanas as hurriedly adopted it would deprive the skipper of ull~ he haa earned in the long and ardous cruise to puy for the rockets and other fire works and signals which these rules would fasten upon him, Ho therefore demanded that the adoption of these rules be considered, and suwgested pointodly that the conferenco would do well to go a little slowel His protest was supported by the American delegates and several of the South American members who have been anuoyed at the hasty manner in which the British delegates were putting everything through. After some little dis- cussion, Mr, Hall, sceing that his delegation was in the minority, consented, and the rules wera reconsidered. The conference adjourned immediately after the discussion. The knowledge that the British delegation intended td sail for home on the 1ltn of next mouth has created all the more surprise be- cause it is known that Mr. Blaine has pre- pared an carnest recommendation to con- gress to extend the time of the congres: TUE INTERNATIONAL OONGRESS, There was a curious scene at the session ol’d the international American congress today. It had been decided at a_previous session that the vice presidents from each country should be chosen by iut and that it should also be determined by lot in what order they should preside. Cards were prepared bearing the names of each one of the countries repre- sented at the conference and were eiven to Mr, Quintana, of the Argentine Republic, who shuffied thein with great dexterity, as he would have shuffied a euchre deck, Then Mr. Blaine took them, put them into a hat and handed the hat to Dr, Zezurra of Peru. Next Will C. Griflin, the page of the confor- enco, was called and drew the . cards one ' by one from the hat, handing them to Mr. Blaina as he did so. 'The latter read from the cards the names of the several countries in the order thut their represeuta- tives shull preside over the meeting, and Dr. Guzawman, of Nicaragus, made the record. The first lot fell to the representative from the republic of Hayti, and the second and third fell to the dealers who wers assisting in the drawing, Dr. Guzaman, of Nicaragua, and Mr, Zegarra, of Peru. Then in order camo Gutamela, Uraguay, Calumbia, the Argentine Republic, Costa Rica, Paraguay, Brazil, Honduras, Mexico, Bolivia, the United States, and the balance of the eigh- teen countries represented, the last country drawn being Ecuador, much to the amuse- ment of the delegates from the other coun- tries, who joked ex-President Caamano upon hus bad luck. The deleates from each one of these countries will selact one of their number to preside in the order above mentioned when Mr. Blaine is absent. Shortly after the drawiug the latter left the chait and called Mr. Laferestrie of Hayti to preside, As this gentleman can speak only Franch, and neither English or Spaunish, the two lan- gnages in which the procesdings are con- ducted, there was @ very amusing scene, and the entirg proceedings had to be conducted in his namo by the secretaries, while he sat silent in lus chair. REED MEN STARTLED, The Reed men wero startled this after- noon by the announcement that thers was a contemplated break -in the New England delegation on the speakership, which they supposed wus solid for their candidate. A southern member who has been skirmishing around for the last two or vhreo days look- ing after the interests of a candidate for doorkeaper, was told that a congressman of the New Eoglard states had announced against Reed and 1n favor of one of the west- ern men. Tho southera congress- man was told w go to the deserter, and proceeded to his rooms and there found the Hon. Thomas 13, Reed in close conversution with the supposed de- linquent. It Is announced tonignt that to- morrow morning he, will be made known and that perhaps he will bo followed by nthers, The southern men bave given up all idea nf being able to vote as & uuit on tha speaker- ship. This also decreases Mr, Reed's chances.
